GnribalG.i ~ Failure.

Garibadi does not profit by experiences.
Recent events have shown that popular
Judgment in favor OF his political and military
ability was premature. Ills reputation has
been cphcmeral. Unfortunately for himself
and his friends he is again at once in critical
and ridiculous position. He was lately
reported to be in the vicinity Of Bssancon, in
command OF a force of twenty-five thousand
French troops, made up Of odds and ends, in
cuding many consolidated bands of Francs
tireurs. TIE National Guards and the Gardas
Mobiles refuse to fight under him, and he will
end it difficult to harmonize and control the
various clements Of his command 80 as to
make them really effective. The loss of Dion
is partly attributed to the inefliciency Of hia
force. His position near Besancon was repre-
scented as almost surrounded by the Prussians,
aud fifty thousand more victorious German SOL
diers were marching in that direction.
Only an armistics con!d save his command
from speedy capture or destruction. Indeed,
there is . report that be and thirty Italian
officers have been already taken prisoners.
Garibaldi $ military capacity especially has
Dcen HrEbtly OVSETaGcu. Ills liSs CuiupIls,u Ia
Italy, when he attempted to take Rome with
his ''liberating army" was miserable fasco,
and demonstrated clearly that he has no ability
as a general. After his last failure in the
field in Italy he ought never again to have
left the island Of Caprera. As u republican
he suddenly appeared al the theatre Of war to
fight for France; but he was beginning to be
looked upon as an interloper and adventurer.
He issued an order of the day, ia which
he reproaches republics for their flilure to act
for mutual defence, and iR which he takes
! President Grant and the United States to task
for not actively interfering in the affairs Of
| Spain and Of France. Garibaldi denouncing
| Grant! That is too ridiculous. Garibaldi ha3
some good qualities, but by his injudicious
conduct he is injuriug the republican cause in
Europe and disgraciag republican institutions.
II would be well il some kind friend Of his
would escort him back to Caprera ard induce
him to remain there during the remainder Of
his life.

Yachtins-Pro. ,oscd New nrensnremsnt.

A communication published elsewhere calls
attention to the suppo sed incorractness Of the
existing rules Of yacht measurement. Il Is
carefully prepared and contains some good,
though by no means n. vel, suggestions.
The subject, in fact, has al. ready been ex-
nausted, and it Is now somem hat doubtful
whether the many iatcrminable I. uestions 1t
involves would bear discussion. Tb., writer
OF the letter is unfavorable to the syst I'm Of
measurement that admits of an unllm ted
area Of sails or power. 1t shonld be bor,e III
mind, however, that, with all due reynrd tc
improved models, it has been tho aim Of
American yachtmen to be other than nir-
gardly about spreading the canvas and iudi-
ciously making use Of ii. Yachting, besides
being introduced for the purpose OF improv-
ing the designs in naval architecture, is an
institution Of pleasure. But il, us the writer
suggests, the carrying OF sails under any or
all systems Of allowances Of time be re-
stricted, the excitement incident to a race is
gone. Had those hair-spliltng ideas been
carried out in the great contest for the
Queens Cup it would have been dull and
uninteresting. Yacht racing shoull not be
reduced to tho working Of machines. nor
should the interest Of the shipbuilder be the
only object in view To popularizc the sport
it must have q reasonable amount of amuse-
ment. The time allowance races between the
Sappho and Cambria and Dauntless and
Cambria, respectively, as well as many others,
would have been devoid OF all interest had
they been governed by the stringent rules and
measures set forth. In lne, as the system oi
measurement suggested has already been tried,
the one now in use appears to work well
enough for want CT better.

THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS is not to
resign. He is one of ex-Secretary Cox poiti-
cal friends, and as be does not follow the ex-
ample of his chief in regard to giving up
Office rather than forego his reforms" it is
fair to presume that he is not SO qualmish
about supporting the party in the customary
way, and also that he is not concerned in the
McGarrahan land claim. The fact that he is
not to resign, therefore, although by no means
an exciting topic, is OF come interest as show
ing that the leading officials Of the Interior
Department are not all committed TO Cox's re-
forms.

WINNIPEG.-A dreadful smallpox epidemic
has broken out in the Red River Territory.
Missionaries, Indians and natives are falling
victims to the scourge. Riel, the ex-Presi-

Rupture OF Peace NoIotinti0ns-No ARMS.


The important news wa, received here last
night that the peace negotiations which have
Tours for some days past, and which were
even reported to have gone as far as the sign
ing Of an armistice for twcnty-lv days, have
been summarily and definitely broken oil. Tho
rupture has come from Paris. M. Thlers, who was
at Versailles yesterday engaged in the work Of
arranging terms Of peace or OF cessation OF
hostilties, received an imperative ordsr from
the provisional government at Paris command
inr him to break off tie negotiations and to
leave the Prussan headquarters Forthwith.
The cause Of the rejection Of the
proposed terms is represented as
being the persistence of Count Bis
marck in requiring the cession of
Alsace and Lorraine. There is nothing now
ieft but TO continue the struggle to the last.
The siege of Paris will be pressed with all
possible vigor, and we may expect TO sec such
terrible resistance as desperation always
inspires.
It was exceedingly doubtful, after all,
whether an armistice would have led to final
peace or whether tho Constituent Assembly
could have, within the time, organized
responsible and acceptable government that
wonld have agreed to the German terms.
There are now but two alternatives left.
Either the Germans will have TO retire from
before Paris, which is not very likely, or they
will enter and occupy that city and there
impose upon the French people a government.
as the allies did in 1914. That is what is most
likely to take place, and perhaps il is Ae
shortest road to peace.

Mayor Hall and the City Governments

| Last Saturday evening, at Cooper Institute,
| Mayor Hall addressed Brennan Club and
seized the occasion to give comprehensive
review of his course MS Chief Magis rate lie
also touched upon other matters in connection
with the administration Of the affairs Of the
municipal government.
| After o cheering reference individually to
each candidate on the Tammany ticket the
| Mayor proceeded ut once to re,ute the charges
Of defalcation. amounting, it has been alleged,
to millions of dollars, and said TO exist in the
Comptroler's office. The certificate Of com
mttee of citizens Of unblemisAcd reputation
and unquestionable integrity, and large tax
payers, besides, who had examined the ac-
counts of the Comptroller, was produced, and
showed that the accounts had been 50 examined
and found to be correct. This is timely vim
dication of Mr.. Connolly, against whom, how
ever, we suppose, the original charges were
preferred simply for political effect.
Mayor Hall then glanced at the office
of the City Chamberlain, where he
showed how abuses had been abolished
and reforms introduced; among others, the
repayment Of interest to The city, which, he
stated, would in short time amount to
million dollars. Next, the Police Department,
the Fire Department, the Health Board, the
Departments Of Public Parks, Public Docks and
Public Works, the Board of Education, were
introduced, and the men who managed them
and the way they were ma naged referred to in
manner 50 clear and lucid as to render the
description easily to be understood by every
listener.
On the subject of taxation, city expendi-
lures, the value of the city property and other
city resources. the Mayor opened volume of
useful information. In explaining the advance
in the rate of taxation, which, be contended,
was less than in number OF other large as
well as smaller cities, Mayor Hall pointedly re-
marked :-'Lct the man who grumbles at his
tax of to-day, and who wants to go back to old
taxation, sell his property at the valuation
of ten years ago." But it is not likely many
viii be inclined to try the experiment The
Mayor also presented his views on the sub
ject of fixed standard for future taxation,
which will bear examination by our taxpayers.
AltoSetuer Lnis was remafAaDle speech, ana
came rather unexpectedly upon the large
audience assembled, as well as upon the read
ing public on Sunday morning. 1t was happy
thought that conceived It's utterance, for the
public mind was becoming alarmed at the in
cessant assaults upon the reputation Of one Of
the most important officials in the city govern
ment-assaults which were calculated to en-
danger the financial credit of the city and
| Otherwise impair the harmonious workings of
| our civic machinery. The grumblels about
the manner in which the affairs of the prin-
cipal departments Of the municipal govern
ment are carried ON may learn wisdom from
the straightforward and comprehensive speech
of Mayor Hall on Saturday night.

parative quiet We incline to the opinion,
however, that the Pacific seaboard Of Cali
fornia. and all the States lying west of the
Sierra Nevada range of mountains, lie west
of the direct line Of these volcanic forces,
which run along or near the backbone of the
continent from Patagonia into Mexico, and
thence through Arizona and Nevada on the
east side of the great mountain chain which
divides that State from CALIFORNIA; and thence
by way of the volcanoes of Oregon and of
Washington Territory into British Columbia.
Il was only few weeks ago that they had in
Nevada very extensive and very lively
earthquake Indeed, all that immense desert
region, in its general character, lying be-
tween the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra
Nevada, and known as the Great Basin,
abounds, as Fremont expresses it, in evil
dences of ''fracture and violence and fire."
We are informed that the general direction
of this latest earthquake at San Francisco was
from the southeast to the northwest. This
would indicate that it was an offshoot from the
main volcanic gulf stream, if we may so ex-
press it, which flows under Sonora, Arizona,
and the Great Basin, from Mexico and Gen.
trail America. AS the crust of the earth, how
ever, Judging from the surface, is from four
, to Eve thousand feet thicker, even in the val
leys of the Great Basin, than at San Fran
cisco, that city, even in side move
ment from the main volcanic conti-
mental current is liable to suffer. Accord
ipolv, we abandon our effort to show that
San Francisco is in no danger, and can only
commend the citizens to build no more four
story houses and no more brown-stone fronts,
and to sleep down stairs convenient to the
front door for four or five years, and mean
time to 90 ahead with their business affairs,
trusting in Providence that after their late
earthquakes they may be exempt from such
dreadful disturbances for many years to
come.
