LEFT-HANDED COMPLIMENT TO GENERAL
GRANT. Boston Advertiser, which has
alwaSs been run in the Sumner interest (and
that at present is hardly supposed to be the
interest Of General Grant,, came out yester-
day morning with rather curious article
about the President. At first glance one
would suppose that it was decided and out
spoken declaration In favor of General Grant.
But when we read that ''the republican party
has gained at the hands of General Grant
more than it dared ask for" we are in doubt
which to admire most, the modesty of the
republican party managers or the resoluteness
of General Grant in knocking the wind out Of
the sails of one of those managers-Senator
Fenton, for example-and that picayune affair
of the New York Custom House.

BY telegram from Kingston. Jamaica, we have
later Intelligence from Central and South
America Of an interesting and important char
acter. A wonderful discovery Of coal and oil
has been made on the Is,hnas. within thirty
miles Of Aspinwali. The former In said 10 be
inexhaustible In quantity and OF q very
superior quality, equal 10 the best imported.
II this information IL correct the discovery
will prove of immense Importance and must en-
nance the value OF everything on the Isthmus.
Coal in that vicinity IL an expensive article
All that Is used there has heretofore been i'm
ported The consumption by the steamers on
both sides is enormous, and II the demand can
be supplied from the immediate vicinity tho
new mines will prove OF inestimable value. We
hope, for the sake Of the waning prosperity Of
prove in all respects true. Another revolution
has broken out in Colombia. The State OF
Chiriqui is up in arms and the insurgents arc
having things very much their own way.
An American steamer has been seized by them
and United States vessel OF war has been de-
oPoeOnCu iom W it~osti hef.
From Central America we hear that the war
between Salvador and Honduras is ended, by
the complete defeat of the armies OF the latter.
The territory of Honduras remains in possess
sion Of the Salvadorians. This war has been
short and most decisive affair, and
now it remains to be seen what will
be done with the conquered republic.
1t is possible that Salvador may see
Git to retain control and keep both
under one government This might answer
very well. One less Of the number Of petty
States would, we think, prove beneficial TO the
remainder. From the south coast we learn
that the Araucanian pdians were giving much
trouble in Chile. Active preparations were
going on to check their hostile movements.
Seven earthquake shocks had occurred on the
southern coast. A new steamship line has
been established between Callao and China,
the stock being all subscribed for. 1t is plea
SAINT to know that, while we have only one
revolution to announce among these petty re-
pubics, we can chronicle peace between two
of them. All of those south of the equator
are quiet for the present. 1t is announced
that the losses sustained by the late food in
Peru are enormous, much greater than at first
supposed. The election campaign in Colombia
is without change.

THE DEATH OF SCHAMYL.-Schamyl, the
once famous Crcassian chief is no more.
His special history is little likely ever to
be known, or at least fully appreciated,
until his countrymen Of the Caucasus
begin to run cotton mills work coal mines
or print newspapers. What Wallace was to
Scotland, Tell to Switzerland, Abdel Kader,
OF more recent memory, to Algeria, Schamyl
was TO the Caucasian tribes. When he fell it
was not until after he had fought nobly and
suffered much; and it is gratifying to be able
TO state that since 1859 he has lived with his
family. in peace and plenty, as a subject Of
the Russian empire. Schamyl was born in
1877 Even amid the rush and fury of what
we call modern civilization it is not good for
us to forget such men as Schamyl.

Hunting for an Arctic Gorilia-Du ChailIa
in a New Field.


That irrepressible and adventurous explorer,
Paul B. Du Chaillu, who is known throughout
the world for his discoveries and wonderful
adventures in Equatorial Africa, particularly
for his discovery of the gorilla and other
animals unknown before, is about to visit
Lapland, Sweden, Norway and the more
northern parts of Europe to make other explo-
rations. This was announced to the American
Geographical Society of this city, and that
body at once elected him honorary secretary
of the society during his proposed journey.
From what is known of the intrepid character
and endurance of Du Chaillu we may expect
valuable contributions to science when he
returns. The learned will look with inte-
rest for the result of his discoveries in
the new field he has chosen, while
the public will expect other and amusing
contributions to our popular literature. His
Explorations in Equatorial Africa" Jour
ney to the Ashango Land, ''Stories of the Go
rilla Country" and other works which have
been extensively circulated, will be supple
mented, no doubt, by an interesting book on
the wonders of the Arctic or most northern
region of Europe. 1t is a fruitful field of OBJ
servation, full of poetry, myths and grand
scenery, the home of the sagas and primitive
superstitons. Doubtless the learned societies
of Europe and the northern governments of
that Continent where Du Chaillu proposes to
go will afford him every facility and en-
enlargement possible. Here we feel particu-
larly interested in his undertaking, because he
is an American and because he has done 50
much already as an explorer and discoverer.
The Central Park Commissioners should not
lose this opportunity of obtaining contribu-
tions to their museum through him. He will
go with the best wishes of all for successful
journey and safe return.

GUIzoT AND THE STATE OF FRANcE.-M.
Guizot has again appeared before the public in
q communication on the state of France. The
veteran ex- Minister has still hope for the
future Of his unfortunate and Inundated coun-
Try. He finds consolation in the fact that,
although France has endured many revolu-
lions since 1889, ''she has always redeemed
herself, and more than once with honor M.
Guizot has good word for the Republican
Assembly at Versailles. ION the whole, be
says, 'the National Assembly and the Execu-
tive have acted with intelligence, prudence
and Justice" We are glad TO hear these SEN
timents coming from so able and experienced
. statesman az NJ. Guizot, and we hope that
The FINAL triumph of the republic over the dis
orders which now exist in the capital will
prove still more glorious than any heretofore
accomplished In the history Of the French
nation.

SPAIN, CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES
Senior vildosola, during the sitting of the
Spanish Cortes on the 9Th inst, read from
the New YORK HERALD Of the 18th of March
a despatch respecting the sale of Cuba to the
United States for the sum of one hundred
millions of dollars. The worthy Sefor asked
the government for explanations on the sub
ject. The Colonial Minister, warmed to re-
spectacle degree of well assumed frenzy,
answered Senior vildosola by the solemn as
surance that the island had but one
price-'the blood of the Spanish army" All
very fine, Mr.. Minister. The United States,
no doubt, could take II at that price if IL 30 de-
sired; but the republic can purchase at a
cheaper rate, and as 1t is not in any hurry
to close the bargain 1t can afford to wait.

Population Statistics.

Mr.. Samuel Ruggles' report on the Com
parative Progress of Population in Europe
and the United States, which was submitted
10 the late session OF Congress by President
Grant, makes some startling disclosures. The
rate Of increase In Europe during the past
hundred years has diminished from one per
cent yearly, at which IL stood In the early
decades Of that period, TO six-tenths Of one
per cent, at which II is rated now. The
Increase Of population In the United
States FOR the present half Of the
nineteenth century will hardly assume a ratio
OF two and half per cent, except in cases Of
unusual emigration, and Europe will do well
II her ratio IL not still further dimin-
ished. The causes given for the steady
decrease Is the diminishing fecundity in
marriage and the lax morality Of the
two worlds. These statements are somewhat
startling, for the percentage Of increase con-
tinuing 10 diminish may soon become an actual
decrease, and In Few centuries there may be
nothing more substantial left Of us than
there 10 Of ancient Greece and Rome.
ia the Caucasian played ou.l" No
race Of people has ever yet been obiterated
except by means Of i,s own crimes and immo-
ralities, and no nations have been utterly
swept away until wealth and grandeur had
made them egcminate and incident. Rome,
Italy, Spain, and. We may say. France,
reached the perfection OF learning. civiliza-
ton. wealth and power. and thence dated
their downfall. The Mabille has done that
Tor France which the representative vices of
the gorgeous empires Of old did for them and
which our representative vices may do for us.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. Some demo-
cratic papers are affecting 10 make out their
defeat in Connecticut ''blessing In disguise. I"
They argue that II after their victory In New
Hampshire they had carried Connecticut
triumphantly, instead Of by the skin Of their
teeth in slecting the Governor alone, the cop
perhead and unrcconstructed democrats would
have become SO rampant that there would
have been no holding them, rendering an easy
victory to the republicans In 1872 almost GER
tain. In that view Of the case the practical
defeat Of the democrats in Connecticut may be
considered blessing in disguise-but we re-
spectfully suggest that the fewer such bless-
ings the democratic or any other party has the
better IL will be for their political supremacy.
