ship is captured ON the high seas, on q voyage
not shown to be other than legitimate, and
though, by the facilities of the Telegraph, our
government could have been consulted as to
her character in few hours, and though such
consultation is no more than was TO be ex-
pected between two friendly and neighboring
Powers, yet with an arrogant Indifference to
our views, with even a contemptuous ignor-
ing of our very existence, the ship is
seized and dealt with as great naval Powers
have from time immemorial dealt with the
ships of their pigmy neighbors who were
utterly without any remedy. And the Ameri-
can people are the pigmies who are thus meta
phorically slapped in the face by the mighty
Spaniard. How long shall they thus abuse
our patience2 How long shall we permit this
one people of the earth, that is utterly con-
temptible in every aspect, to play the Hector
in our neighborhood2 There is but one
remedy for this Spanish nonsense 1t is to
abate the Spanish dominion in this hemisphere
as a nuisance. TO that complexion it
must come at last" Sooner or later we
must do it, and it will be great economy of
the national temper to do it sooner. We do
not want Cuba. We have got great deal
more land already than we know very well
what to do with; but the presence of the
Spaniard there is an inconvenience to us and
source of constant irritating complication,
and we must act as nations have always acted
in similar cases, and give him fairly to under
stand that he is to leave within a reasonable
time He remains on this side the water only
by our suffeiance, and he has so hagrantly
abused his tenure AZ to have forfeited all
further claim on our magnanimity.

Yesterdays Rain Storm and It's Prob
able Effects.

eUAc E1ucctSs
From the reports by telegraph the whole
country this side of the Mississippi seems to
have been involved last night in rain storm.
For several days past the Gulf States have
been under the rain cloud. Yesterday the
States lying between the Atlantic seaboard and
the Upper Mississippi valley, as well as the
lakes, experienced general rain The clear
ing away which must soon follow the cloudi-
ness in the Southern States will be auspicious
for the speedy determination of the lingering
seems to be transitional one, in which the
autumn seeks to retain its supremacy and
spread abroad the charms Of Indian summer
before the winter comes For the sake Of the
poor and unemployed we could wish it long
success, but we must not forget that the win
ter is not far of. Indeed, it will not be sur
prising if general rain storm like the present
should at once usher in the rude Boreal blasts.
Last year the arrival of the November air
wave," as it has been called, was the signal
for the ice king to seal up our streams and
rivers, as well as to give great trouble and
cause much disaster to the shipping over the
whole Atlantic, from Sandy Hook to the Dan
ish coasts We have, as yet, heard nothing of
the recurrence of such meteorological
phenomenon this fall but, as we have init
mated, the general rain storm Of yesterday and
to-day is not without its premonition. 1t will
be well to be on our guard against it's rude in

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

The Secretary OF state of Pennsylvania

Agreed TO the Election the Now
Constitution.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. :, 1879.
special despatch just received from Harris
burg correspondent gives the result OF an inter.
view with the Secretary OF State OF Pennsylyanis
as foll0Hs:-
The special election for the adoption or rejection
OF the new constitution shall be held under the
Registry law of 1869 and the amendments Of 1870
and 1872. This is in conflict with the directions OF
the Constitutional Convention itself which has al
ready appointed It's own commissioners to conduct
the election. The Secretary OF state says that he
VIII inform the commissions mentioned above or

proper, refer the decision OF the matter TO Court.

The INTERNATIoNALIsTs ARE TALKING NoS-
SENSE already about labor and capital opropos
of the hard times. In times of difficulty all
round wild people will invoke aid from
government with much brandishment OF
frothy threats, and it was scarcely to be ex-
pected that the Internationalists could resist
the present temptation. But these people are
not to be confounded with the respectable
laboring class, who work contentedly where
work is to be had, and do not expect juice
from squeezed oranges. Should the aid of
Congress be necessary, and we hope it will
not be, to meet the distress Of the working
people, we are sure it will be accorded with
out any socialist bluster from the bowling
class who learn to flourish best in times Of
trouble to the community.

The Condition OF the Park Hospital
Timely Hint.

The State Charities Aid Association have
been making an examination OF the City Park
Hospital, and comment fully on its condition
in their monthly report 1t will be remem-
bered that the hospital in question was started
for the special purpose of the reception of sun
struck patients, in the old engine house build
ing. II is necessarily an inconvenient and in
sufficient building, and there was probably
little thought at the time of its establishment
that it would be turned to the purposes of a
general hospital According to the report now
before us il is in fact more of pest house
than a hospital. The roof, directly beneath
which the womens ward is located, is an DID,
leaky piece of patchwork. through which the
rain pours in streams during storm The
small, close kitchen. on the same floor, serves
also as a dining room for the helpers,
and as an ironing room, the heat and
smell adding to the EMBELLISHMENTS Of the
atmosphere in the damp ward. The laundry
is in the basement-a cellar adjoining the
stable and the dead room-and in this dark,
confined space, aired and lighted only by two
or three panes of glass. mere apologies for
windows the foul clothes are washed, and,
thirty-one beds only in the hospital, twenty
five in the mems and five in the women's
ward, and yet thirty-five hundred cases have
been treated there during the year. and of
these twelve hundred demanded great surgical
skill. Although the hospital is only intended
far'p h Nl,ehp
many cases are necessarily compelled to be
kept there for long periods. 1t is the only in
stitution in the crowded part Of the city be-
tween the Battery and Canal street where
person can receive medical or surgical treat
ment in case of an accident and, for the pur-
poses to which it is devoted, building with
at least one hundred beds is absolutely
necessary.
1t is very evident that we ought to have q
new, spacious and well-appointed hospital in
this part of the city in place Of the old engine
pest house, and now is the time to erect such
a building. The work is one which humanity
as well as safety demands, and it can be under
taken at no better time than the present when
it will give employment to laborers who have
nothing to do. 1t need not be, like the pro-
posed City Prison, a job. and there is imme-
diate need of it while we can do very well
with the Tombs for some time to come The
Common Council has the power by two
thirds vote TO provide for this remodelling Of
the present building, which is demanded by
the public necessity. and they should attend
TO the matter at once. The present hospital
is disgrace, a nuisance and public danger.
Let us have new one built at once, SO that
its erection this winter may give employment
to some few of those who will soon be cast as a
burden upon our charities unless they be pro-
yided with work.

A railroad for steam communication between

The evil arising from the want of
a standard time by which ali the
railroads in the country would gov
ern the running of their trains, has
been felt ever since an East and
West line has been in operation, and
each year increases the trouble, by
the consultations which are foxm-
ing between the railroads connecting
across the continent. Within tue
last six months scheme has been
matured by the Observatory author
tiles at Washington,and the Western
Union Telegraph Company, by which
the later agree to transmit the Oh
servatory time to the principal cities.
This has already been done in the
case ofNew York, and it is proposed
to apply it next to Albany, Buffalo,
Erie, Chicago, st. Louis, Cleveland,
Memphis and Milwaukee. From
these pisces CONNECTIONS will be
made with smhller towns and cities
adjacent, and the standard time sup
piled BY che telegraph each day at
noon.

The rranspoEtation ouestion.

Cushman X. Davis, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor Of Min
nesota, takes this view Of the sub
ject:
Ny own idea is that the State
cannot contract away q single attri-
butte of sovereignty, and that when
the public nature Of these institu-
tons is conceded the right to con
troll them follows logically. l do
not think Congress has any power
which will effectually remedy the
evils. The power to regulate com
merce between the different States,
ququestionably gives that body the
right to regulate through freights;
but it has no existence in regard to
freights, say between Mankato and
Winona, In regard to the power of
the State, the converse of the above
paragraph is true. That is, while
the State may possibly regulate from
Mankato to Winona, it has no pow
er to do so from Winona to Lacrosse.
Ny own idea of the Practical solu-
ton of the question is almost as
universal as was the idea of emanci-
patton. 1t is that the Federal Gov
ernment should, under the power of
eminent domain, construct, at least,
two through lines from the seaboard
TO the West, keep them in repair just
as the State keeps its wagon roads
up, and suffer every one who has a
locomotive or car to run over them,
under such regulations only as win
insure safety. Before this can be
done there will be a struggle to
which that regarding slavery in the
Territories was merely baby play. 1t
may be that the railroad men will
be wiser than the slave holders
their prototypes-and when they
know WHAT'S coming viii make sat.

Dreaming and Doing.

Amy was dear good girl in many
things; but she had one bad habit;
she was too apt to waste time in
dreaming OF doing instead of doing,
In the village where she lived Mr..
Thornton kept small shop, where
he sold fruit of all kinds, including
berries in their season.
One day hesaid to Amy, "Would
you like to make some money!
''Of course l would" said Amy.
"fOr my dear mother often has to de-
priVe herself of things she needs, so
that she may buy shoes and clothes
for me-
swell, Amy, l noticed some fae
ripe blackberries along by the stone
wall in Mr.. Green's fiYe-Rcre lot; and
he said that / or anybody else was
welcome to them. Now, il you will
pick the ripest and best, l will pay
you sixteen cents o quart for them
Amy was delighted at the thought
and ran home and got her basket,
and called her little dog Quilp, with
tae intention Of going at once to
pick the blAckberries.
Then she thought she would like
to find out, with the aid Of her slate
aud pencil, how much money she
should make if she were to pick five
quarts. She found she should make
eighty cents-almost enough to buy
a new calico dress. -
But supposing l should pick a
dozen quarts: how much should l
earn thenT So she stopped to fig
ure that out. 'Dear me! 1t wouid
come to dollar and ninety-two
cents"
Amy then wanted to know how
much fifty, hundred, two hundred
quarts would give her; and then how
much she could get if she were to
put thirty two dollars in the savings
bank, and receive six per cent inter
est on it.
QGilp grew very impatient, but
Amy did not heed his barking; and
when she was at last ready to start,
she found il was so near dinner time
that she must put off her enterprise
until the afternoon.
AS soon as dinner was over, she
took her basket and hurried to the
fve-acre lot, but a whole troop Of
boys from the public schools were
there before her. 1t was Saturday
afternoon, and school did not keep,
and they we're out with their bas
kets.
Amy soon found that all the lagre
ripe berries had been gathered. All
Any's grand dreams of making
fortune by picking blackberries
we're at an end. Slowly and sadly
she made her way home. recalling
on the way the words Of her teacher
who once said to her, "One doer is
better than a hundred dreamers. -
