MORE PACIFIC RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT. -
The most southern of the Pacific railroad
routes-that known as the Texas Pacific Rail-
way-seems to be in fair way of having line
completed from Texas to California within
few years. Tom Scott has taken tn e work in
hand and shows q determination to push it
through. A telegraphic despatch from San
Francisco states that his Texas Pacific Rail-
way Company has obtained all the rights and
property of the San Diego and Gila Railroad
Company. with the right of way through San
Diego city and county, one hundred acres Of
tide lands on San Diego bay and large
grant for terminal depot. Engineer parties
are to be put into the field at once to locate
the line, and the people and counties along the
route are Offering liberal aid There will be
ample business for this as well as for the other
Pacific railroads, and we hope to see it in
operation in the course of.three or four years.

The MEXICAN PROBLEM OF AN IMPorENT
GovEnNMENT and n disordered country is
brought daily under our eyes in reports Of
bandit outrages. The Rio Grande Commits
sion appears to be collecting evidence of the
disgraceful state Of affairs on our border but
complains, it is said of want Of funds. There
can be little necessity for larger appropria-
tion, as the facts are notorious, and one case
of Mexican or Indian lawlessness is a pretty
fair sample of hundred others. A sensible
result of the state of affairs on the Mexican
frontier is the report of Special Treasury Agent
Abbott, who says that all expectation across
the river is stopped, by order Of the Mexican
authorities, causing large reduction in the
revenue at Ell Paso del Norte, Texas, and de-
pressing business in that region to ruinous
extent Intervention is the only cure.

article transaction OF this sort to the amount
of some ten millions of dollars The interest
on money is so much higher here than in
Europe, and there are SO many opportunities
for profitable investment, that there is grow
ing disposition on the part of foreign creditors
to leave their capital with u.s. AS matter of
course such reinvestments improve the
country, increase our products and add to the
national wealth. Our ability to pay becomes
greater every year in consequence of this aug
mentation Of production and wealth through
the very capital for which we are debtors.
The course and fluctuations of the gold
market do not represent the actual financial
condition of the country as much as the acci-
dents of trade, the gambling in Wall street
and the incompetent management of the
national finances. Gold went up for week
or two because there was an unusual demand
to pay duties on the large importations of the
season. great amount of which had been
held in bond till the amended tariff
law reducing duties came into opera
ton. Besides, business is dull, comparatively,
in Summer. The gold spectators seized upon
the opportunity to corner the market and run
the premium up. A few millions more or less,
which are but bagatelle compared with the
wealth and available means of the country,
will influence the market temporarily under
such circumstances. But with all the efforts
of the spectators the premium did not ad-
vance over three or four per cent. The reac-
ton soon followed, and the tendency is down.
ward again. With the prospect of flourish
ing Fall business together with the large
crops Of cotton, grain, corn and other prod
ucts that will soon be ready for market and
expectation, there seems to be good reason for
anticipating considerable decline in gold If
Congress would, as soon as it assemblies in De-
cember, reduce taxation to the lowest point
that an economical administration of the gov
ernment will admit, and compel the national
banks to resume specie payments, we might
within year or so be on solid specie basis.
1t hardly seems possible for anything but war
to disturb the general prosperity or check the
progress of the country, and of that, fortu-
nately, there is no ground for apprehension.
New York, as the great commercial metropolis,
represents the general condition of the Repub-
lie, and here there are all the indications that
we are on the eve of great business activity.

The ALABAMA CLAIMS ARBITRATION. S.--The
the Alabama claims was in session in Geneva
yesterday and will meet again to-day. The
arbitrators remained in council three hours
yesterday. The rule of secrecy is still main
tanned; but it is said that the general progress
towards final settlement of the case is salts
factory. The question of the payment of
interest on the amounts awarded appears to
be a prominent one, if not the most promi-
nent, which now presents to the judiciary.
The work looks favorable to the idea of an
early completion of the entire case, at least in
Its present shape.

The Management Of Blackwell's Is
land.

The Management Of Blackwells Is
The frequent attem mpts to escape made by
prisoners at Blackwells Island suggest
thoughts of laxity in the discipline of that in
stitution. If the information which has been
made public on the authority of one of the
officials concerning the appointment of ex-
convicts as jailers be correct the insubordina-
ton in the prison is at once explained 1t is
difficult to conceive that the Commissioners of
Correction should have knowingly appointed
men of this class to positions of trust in which
it is essentially necessary that the representa-
tive Of the law should exercise a moral influ-
ence over the felons whom he is charged to
watch over. Now, in the case of
men known to have been guilty Of
crime, it is impossible that such influence
could exist In addition to this cause Of in
subordination the want of workshops on the
Island forces the adoption of outdoor labor
instead of the more sedentary employments in
other prisons. This defect in our Penitentiary
is to be regretted for more than one reason
1t deprives the prison Of its reformatory char
acter, because there is no opportunity fur
nished to the convicts, who are principally
youths, to acquire mechanical skill that would
enable them to gain an honest livelihood on
leaving the prison. This defect, more even
than the occasional escape Of a prisoner ought
to decide the authorities to erect workshops
without unnecessary delay.

Work Of the Board OF Healtn'
A perusal of the weekly reports of the sani-
tary officers furnishes ample subjects for
thought. We learn that at the cost OF three
hundred and fifty dollars seventy-eight miles OF
street cutters have been disinfected, and, siQce
the middle Of June almost five hundred miles.
Could it be known how many lives this whole
some measure has saved no doubt the taxpay-
ers would be we'll satisfied with the expendi-
ture of about two thousand dollars in this
humane work of life preservation and disease
prevention. In the work the Health lnspec-
tors have not been idle. They made eighteen
hundred and eighteen inspections and seven
hundred reports and received one hundred
complaints. Over one thousand visits were to
tenement houses. They condemned three
dwellings as uninhabitable. The deaths re-
ported were seven hundred and eichty-eight,

Congressman at Large-Who Should
He Be3

He Bet
In o previous article we showed why tie
Congressman at Large should be selected from
New York city. BY the vicious and partisan
districting Of the last session of the reform
Legislature New York city was allowed only
six members when her population called for
seven; she has q fraction 132, ,656) nearly
equal to the ratio (Which is 1885, 119) unrepre-
sented: Other portions Of thss State, republi-
can, were aggrandized to defraud New York
city. 1t is of the first Importance to this
metropolis that her representation should be
full and fair Her interests are deeply affected
by her federal relations. In all that relates to
interstate contentment, to tariffs, taxation,
finance, commerce, foreign interchange and
diplomatic intercourse, she is vitality affected,
and she should have all strength in Congress.
The democratic member from this city who
has given most attention to this subject
is Mr.. s. S. Cox He was one
of the committee of conference which
had the subject before it, and in its
last stage that committee not only carried the
measure for the supplemental member which
the State was entitled to, but by an amend
ment of the bill it left the State free to redis-
trict, SO as to remedy the wrong done by the
last Winters legislation at Albany This fact,
among others, has induced the democracy to
consider Mr.. Cox in connection with the
candidacy at large In our previous article,
in speaking of this topic, we said :-'1t is
eminently proper that both parties should
choose their candidate from this CITY," The
republicans have not been advised by us, as
they have nominated Mr.. Tremain for Con-
gresham at Large who resides in another part
Of the State. Nevertheless the democracy have
the opportunity to be wiser. Mr.. Cox has
had large experience in Congress, having en-
tered it in 1856, from Columbus, Ohio. He
served an agricultural constituency from Ohio
for eight years, and for the past eight years
has resided in this city. For four years he has
forwarded the interests of this city by vigilant
and industrious attention. 1t is to him we
owe the lifeboat appropriations more than to
any other member. He has uniformly en-
couraged and voted for, those iberalities of
commerce upon which the prosperity of New
York city depend. He has fought the
infamous inquisitorial features of the
tax laws he has spoken and voted
for the free registry Of ships and against all
special monopolies. He has uniformly OPP
posed the income and other onerous taxes.
He has always maintained the decencies
of honest public service. The most per-
sistent contest against land grabs made in
Congress was made by him. He would
doubtless serve the State as faithfully as he
served the city and its varied interests. Be
sides, he has been among the first of our pub
lie men to recognize that the civil war and
its consequences called for progressive policy
and the acceptance of what had been done.
Liberal in his views, industrious in his habits
and honest in his legislation he would COM
mand if nominated large vote outside of his
party.

The Arizona Diamond Fields-An Ugly
Report from London.

The Arizona Diamond Ficlds-An Ugly
Report from London.
We have despatch from London which
says that Messrs. Leverson & Co., London,
diamond brokers, in communication to the
Times of that city, state that few months
ago an American came to them and bought q
large number of diamonds in the rough, pay
ing no attention whatever to the weight or
quality of the stones, and that it is suspected
they were used by the alleged discoverers of
the diamond mines in Arizona to sustain their
ASSERT ons. This is an ugly report in refer
ence to those Arizona mines, though it proves
nothing. On the other hand, we have q
despatch from Salt Lake City august 27)
which says there is great excitement there
in consequence of the receipt of gems from
the diamond mines of New Mexico, the Ter
ritory which, east, lies next to Arizona. The
rubies, emeralds, opals, garnets and sapphires
received by the Savage Company, at Salt Lake
City, are pronounced genuine; but the dia-
monds are to be submitted to New York lapi-
daries for decision.
These precious stones may abound in New
there to be very few and far between "Where
there is so much smoke there must be some
fire." they say; but still we would caution all
adventurous young men against venturing
into these reported diamond fields, or into
these diamond stock speculations, until we
shall have had proof positive that said dia-
mond fields are no humbug. Lieutenant
Wheelers scientific exploring expedition, now
in Southern Utah, will probably, in the course
of the next three or four months, penetrate
into these reported diamond regions and give
us the facts concerning the presence therein
or absence of the precious stones which, it is
said by interested parties, can be gathered up
there on the mountain sides by the bushel.
At ali events, until some reliable explorers
shall have inspected these alleged diamond
districts in Arizona and New Mexico and re-
ported thereon, let not our enterprising, specu-
lative, credulous and adventurous young men
forget the good old axiom that ''the fool and
his money are soon parted

. The IMPERIAL CONFERENCE. Within the
next fortnight the two Kaisers and the Gar
will meet in Berlin and exchange mutual con-
Cratulations. In order to render the event
impressive, and, possibly, with the view Of
convincing the Russian and Austrian poten-
tates that the unity Of the great German En-
pire is all that is claimed for it, Kaiser
William and Prince Bismarck, it is intimated,
desire the presence Of all the German princes
in the capital during the stay Of the Emperors
In this they will be disappointed. The Kings
of Bavaria and Saxony decline to assist
in the Berlin spectacle, even to accom-
modate their imperial master. Their places,
however, will be filled by substitutes in the
shape of ENJOYS. The Berlin sensation will,
therefore, be performed without the presence
of the Kings of Bavaria and Saxony at Berlin
WANTED, GOVERNOR. democratic
leaders have decided to nominate Mr. Charles
OConor for Governor, Notwithstanding his
opposition to the Presidential nominations of
the Baltimore Convention, and it is supposed
that the nomination will be made by acclama-
ton. This policy, it is said, is the result Of q
determination to prove that the regenerated
democracy, through whose efforts the reform
movement of last year was carried to sue
cessful issue, is the real reform party of the
State and this can be done in no better man,
ner, it is believed, than by putting forward fol
Governor independent of all other issues, the
citizen who led the cohorts of reform against
the old Tammany rings. 1t will be novel
sight to see a candidate for Governor sup.
ported by party whose Presidential nominee
he opposes; yet the principle of separating
national from State issues, and Of supporting
honest and capable men for State and mum.
cipal Offices regardless of their political senti
ments, is commendable one. By such disin
terested action alone can we expect to secur,

Twenty-six deaths occurred in consequence Of
excessive solar heat, thirty-three from acci-
dents or negligence. Fifty-eight per cent of
the mortality was of children under five years.
The sweepers cleaned two hundred and thirteen
miles of streets once, seventy-six miles twice,
fifteen miles three times and eight miles four
ana nve times making an aggregate of three
hundred and twelve miles of sweeping; and
they removed thirteen thousand seven hundzSd
and ninety-six loads Of dirt, ashes and rubbish
at a cost of nine thousand seven hundred and

reported in fair sanitary condition. Con-
tagious and infectious diseases are reported in
very limited numbers, and the conclusion ia
that, except from the effect of unusual heat, the
city is in fairly healthy state.
