The prices of these commodities in the for
eign markets were so nearly the same in these
two years that the increased quantities i'm
ported and retained for consumption may be
taken to be, like the increased values, thirty
six per cent. But this by no means expresses
the relative ability of the consumers to buy
these goods; for, while the aggregate Of the
import duties in 1860 amounted to only $780,
073, the duties upon them rose in 1868 to the
sum of $5S8S1 ,84s; or the cost of these goods
before they entered our markets in 1860 was
$77O8i 400, and in 1868, $l5l, ,s77,sss. That is,
foreign price and duty, together, upon these
commodities in 1868, exceeded those of 1860 by
97 per cent, or within q fraction of double.

There is already q vacancy in one department
of the new City Government. Mr.. r. j. Dillon
has declined the appointment of Park Commits
sioner on the very proper ground that as ne
opposed the adoption Of the plan on which the
Park has been laid out he cannot effectively
aid in carrying it to completion. These are not
Mr. Dillon's words, but they are evidently his mo-
tives for declining. This example Of Democratic
consistency might well be initiated by MIR.
Thomas e Fields, who also opposed the pres
ent design oi the Park and who is, therefore,
and for other reasons, untitled to take part in
directing its completion. A grateful public
will thank him if he, like Mr.. Dillon, shall af-
ford Mayor Hall opportunity to appoint in his
stead o Commissioner who knows something, at
least, of landscape gardening. But will Mayor
Hall take advantage of the occasion which the
declination of Mr.. Dillon provides and make
this one appointment in the interest OF the
people rather than of the "Ringf" Mr.. A. H.
Green is the only member of the Park Com
mission who knows anything about parks
certainly the only one cOversant with the de-
sign of Central Park as thus far executed,
and the only one really capable of improv-
ing on it in its further development. This
ought not to be so. The new Com
missioner should bring to his task prac-
tical knowledge of park management and cul-
tivated taste in public gardening, or he should
at least be one who does not desire radically
to change the now unalterable plan of Central
Park. If political faith must of necessity de-
termine the selection of Mr.. Dillon's successor
(and let us once more hope that also of
Mr.. Fields's) there is still ample room for
choice. There are faithful Democrats who have
a knowledge of what Central Park should be:

We are quite sure that the Canadians need
have no fear of the Fenian raid against which
they have been making active preparations.
The Fenians have always given loud warning
of any movement they intended to make; and
even if they failed to do so, the press or the
Government would be certain to find out all
about it in advance. Neither armed men nor
military supplies and provisions can be gath
cred together in any part Of this country
without the facts becoming quickly known.
And in case of any movements or preparations
of this kind, the Government w0iiiaa iiiiiinedii-
ately attend to them. The last time the Fe-
mans attempted p raid into Canada, some two
years ago, Gen. Grant very promptly OElered
a military force to take steps to prevent it,
There is not the slightest doubt that he would
again, under similar circumstances, follow the
same course. 1t is certain that he will MAIN
tain our international obligations and enforce
our own laws in this caset as well as IN Gnv
other. There is no need, therefore, for the
Canadians being disturbed, or for their keep
ing the militia under arms to meet the enemy.

fvinp severity with which conductors and
brakemen enforce their regulations in the case
of a well dressed and well-behaved passenger,
and the unwonted diflidence they display to-
wards noisy, drunken ruflans who are disturb
ing the passengers Of an entire car. Indeed,
it is too much the general disposition of rail-
roads to regard the public as made for the
benefit of railroads rather than the railroads
for the public.
In the case of Coleman agt. The New-IIaven
Railroad Company, the complaint is OF excessive
violence in election. The courts refuse to rec
ognize the theory that a railroad ticket is
good either way between the termini named
upon it, thus disregarding equity in favor of
technicality and of such unaccommodating
companies as that Of the New-H Haven Railroad.
But tho Excessive violence" remains to be
accounted for, and the defense set up by the
Company's counsel, in letter recently pub
lished is not that such violence was not used,
but that Mr.. Coleman, by his resistance, made
it necessary in order to eject him. MIR. Cole
man may have &C ted unwisely in resisting
but his want of discretion cannot free the
Company from responsibility for injuries in
flicted upon him. If railroad corporation in
sists upon the strict enforcement Of its tech
nical rights, in defiance of equity, and without
regard to the comfort of its passengers, there
should be an equally rigid enforcement OF the
law, to the last letter, against the corporation
when personal injuries are the result OF its
conyenience omM Of passengers should be the
supreme law governing railroads; and until
this is recognized, we hope to see vigorous
prosecutions, like this of Mr.. Coleman's, and
the relentless application of penalties.

We are pleased to see the movement for the
erection of monument to Daniel O'Connell
in the Park. O'Connell was a great man, and
good man. He not only rendered great SER
vices to Ireland but he was a'friend of freedom
and humanity everywhere, and did not even
forget the negro slaves of America. AS an
orator, his eloquence was of the grand order
1t was listened to with no less admiration in
the British Parliament than by the assembled
masses of Ireland, and it not only moved
Z" listening Senates," but held nation in its
power. He deserves to have a place among
the great men whose names will be commemo-
rated by statues in the Park. O'Connell had n
superb figure for the sculptor-a figure massive
and imposing, with an impressive presence.
We hear that 100000 is to be raised for the
work, in subscriptions of 81 each This sum
Is suihcient to pay for as fine n monument as
could be desired; and we hope the work will
DC given to some artist who can bring genius
to its design anA execution. N

The liquor dealers, having studied the new
Excise law to some purpose, are acting on the
conclusion that there is now no restraint
whatever upon their traffic. An Excise law is
effective only when the penalties for its viola
ton are severe and certain of enforcement.
The statute which the Democracy have
passed provides nothing in the shape of
penalties except to revive the act of
1857, under which no license could be
revoked or fine inflicted except upon
trial and conviction in the Court of General
Sessions. AS that tribunal has rule that no
misdemeanor shall be investigated while a
felony remains untried, and as there has not
been moment for years when there were not
cases of felony awaiting trial, no violatOr of the
Excise law was ever convicted under the old
law, and none will be under the new one. In
reviving this law, which experience had proved
would answer the desired purpose, the
Democracy have done something more than
leave the liquor traffic unfettered. That they
have also left it comparatively untaxed is
shown by the fact that during the nine years
that law was in force the revenue from
licenses was only $157,349 25, while the Metro
pOlitan Excise law, during the three years and
a half it was operative, produced S4,S51 ,SV 30.
These facts are too suggestive to need com
ment.

Health's Best Defence.

''The weak eateth herbs, says St. Paul,
so that eighteen hundred years ago the value
Of medicinal plants was appreciated. In the
Old Testament botanical remedies are repeat
edly recommended, but in no passage of
sacred history is man recommended to swal-
low calomel, or blue Fill, or any other miner
al preparation. The sick were directed to
eat herbs to strengthen them, to purify them,
to heal them, to restore them. In that day
the art of making vegetable extracts was un-
known. The herbal medicines were mere in
fusions
1t was reserved for later age to unite the
sanitary essences of tonic, aperient and an
tibilious roots, barks, and plants, with an ac.
tive stimulant, and thus secure their rapid
diffusion through the deb;htated or disordered
system. The crowniug triumph Of this affect
i've mode Of concentrating and applying the
virtues of medicinal vegetables was achieved
in the production of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Never before had perfectly pure
alcoholic stimulant been combined with the
expressed juices of the finest specifics of the
vegetable kingdom. Never yet though
eighteen years have elapsed since its intro.
duction, has this great restorative been
equalled. It is taken at all seasons, in all
chimes, as the most potent safeguard against
epidenics, as protection against ali un-
healthy exhalations that produce debility of
beget disease; as a remedy for intermittent
and other malarions feyers; as an appetizer;
as a sovereign cure for dyspepsia; as a general
tonic and invigorant; as gentle, painless
aperient; as blood depurent; as nervine;
as a cure for bilious affections; as harmless
anodgne; snd as the BEST DEFENCE OF HEALTH
under uufavorsble circumstances, such as
sedentary pursuits, undue bodily or mental
exertion, hardship, priyatipn aud exposure.
