Danger.
At this season the atmosphere is surcharged with

THE Democratic leaders didn't mean bomb
shell at all by their resolution to put the
Democrat party into the hands of three guar
dams. One of them tells us that the fact that
Mr.. Kimball peremptorily declined to be the
party standard bearer, and the number of as
pirants that desired the empty honor, made
this course necessary. We are also informed
tina. Mr.. Madigan will not be candidate, and
that Messrs. O'Brion of Thonlaston, Titcomb
Of Kennebunk, and ingalls, OF Wiscasset, are
the gentlemen approved of by the leaders for
the candidacy.

REFORM has done something in New York,
say what we may of Mayor Havemeyer and
appointees, for Commissioner Van Mort of
the Department of Public Works has returned
to the treasury an unexpended balance Of
$38o,o00. Just try to imagine Tweed and Co.
doing that thing.

AMERICAN FIsHERMEN.-The fishing provis-
iors of the Treaty of Washington 60 into effect
on Tuesday next, July 1, and after that date
American fishermen, along the British coasts
from Maine to Newfoundland, will have tho
same rights of fishing and landing:to dry their
nets and cure their fish as British subjects now
enjoy, without reference to the ultimate decis-
ion of the Halifax commission which meets
next month to determine what the United
States is to pay for the privilege.

THE approaching cholera has set the New
York Board of Health to looking after the
city slums and to taking active measures to
remedy the sanitary defects of the vile tene-
ment houses in that city that invite diseases
of all kinds. Every city should take special
measures at once to remove all the filth that
specially invites the choIe-a.

The New York World now learns the in
teresting fact that George Washington, when
President, overdrew his account with the
Treasury. The fact was nosed out at the
time and was made as great ham
die of as Gen. Grants visiting Long Branch
now is. The fact vas, that President Wash.
ington anticipated his salary. The charge
that he let out this money at high rates of in
terest, was doubtless, a malicious partzan
fib, which is not out of style yet.

A GENTLEMAN visiting this city, recently
received letter from Commissioner
Schultz of the Vienna Exposition, in which
he gave some account of American affairs
there. Of Mr.. Van Buren,, it is stated that
his failure was in not knowing about the de-
tails of his business, not even about his goods
or what to do with them. He refutes the
idea Mr.. Van Buren, has made an improper.
use of his power for his personal advantage
but thinks he has allowed others to do so.

WEST POINT correspondent don't like
Mayor Mcmillan one of the visitors to that
institution. He says that the leading artisan
of Maine is not gentlemen. 1t is very evil
dent that Mr.. Mcmillan has snubbed that
correspondent or he does not like to have
practical man at West Point. 1t is quite pos
sible that the Mayor of Biddeford made some
pointed enquiries.

New WEALTH.-North Carolina has just dis
covered and prepared to work great vein Of
gypsum-than which nothing would be more
useful to her fields. San Francisco says that
the reported tin mine found near Los Angeles,
on the San Antonio, is a reality; that the crop
pings have been traced mile and quarter,
and the vein is fifty feet in width at one point.
Specimens of gold sent from Sitka, Alaska, to
San Francisco have assayed $500 to the ton;
and quartz-crushing machinery is to be for.

Transportation Illinois.

The new transportation law goes into oper.
alton in Illinois next Tuesday. As the time
approaches for the law to 60 into execution,
both the railroads and the farmers find grave
obstacles in their way; and it is said by
those who know, that the latter will fail to
realize more of advantage than disadvantage
from the new law.
The law is essentially pro rata law, and
proposes that the tariff of rates shall be adj
justed in exact proportion TO the distance car
ried The rate from the first station to the
second, is taken as unit, and the rate for
every longer distance must increa'e proper
tionately. Through freight must be put on
the same footing as local freight. Large
shipments secure no better terms than small
quantities. A competing point offers no
advantage over anon-competing one. In short,
there is one arbitrary and interchangeable rule
which governs under all conditions, and all
the usual principles OF business transactions
are disregarded.
1t is said that the railroads have been at
work weeks, trying to adjust their tariffs to
the new requirements. AS the railroads
are opposed to the new law, cannot be
expected that they will do their best to make
the workings of the law equitable and satifac-
tory. 1t looks, says an observer, very much
as though majority Of shippers will have to
pay more under the new law than the old
system. The result is, that on several of the
roads whose rates are now announced, the
general range is higher under the ne tariff
than under the old. On the Chicago and
Rock Island road the rate is fully twenty-five.
cent. higher until distance of one hundred
and fifty miles from Chicago is reached. The
same is substantially true of the Chicago and
Alton railroad. The Illinois Central has ar
ranged several successive schedules, but so
great is the difficulty of conforming to the law
and at the same time of meeting the rates of
through railroads and competing lines, that
each schedule has been abandoned as conflict
Ing with the one or the other
If the above is true, the new law as applied
by the railroads, will prove of no advantage
to those who want to ship to Chicago, and
may possibly work injury to those shipping
beyond that State. 1t will thus be seen that
the State of Illinois has only reached the edge
of the difficulty, and that nothing short ofna-
tional supervision or regulation can affect
transportation on the great lines from the in
terror to the seaboard.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE PRESIDENTS
FATHER.-A special from Washington, to the
Evening Post, says: "Mr. Cramer, American
Minister to Denmark, a brother-in-law of the
President, arrived here last night, from Gov
ington, KY, on his way to his post. He reports
that Mr.. Jesse R. Grant, the Presidents
father, is in very feeble condition, sinking
slowly; probably will not live many days. In
fact, he says his death may be expected any
day. The President has been summoned to
his bedside and is expected to reach Covington
by Friday A rumor prevailed here to-day,
that the President had left Long Branch, last
night for Washington, to make change in
the Secretaryship of Treasury and the Ministry
to Austria, and for while it was believed that
the President was in this city. If he really did
leave Long Branch, last night, it was probably
for the purpose of going to Covington."

prominent graduates of West Point, who

tonal animosity is disappearing. and urging
all the graduates to meet at West Point in

INFLUX OF GOID.-The Boston 'AdUertlSerS
New York special of Thursday says:
The operators forming the new bull clique in
the gold room have done little to-day except
discuss the chances of policies for the future.
They now have control of about ten millions of
gold, but as most of the importers have made
provision for all the coin they will want for
months to come, it is not likely that the clique
will be able to affect the market much earlier
than the LIST of August. The new ring is also
largely made up of small operators who have no
surplus either of capital or experience, and it is
predicted that their undertaking will break
down through timidity or weakness of some of
its members aud the whole affa come to moth
ing. The disbursement of the July interest be-
gan to-day by the payment of nearly two mill
ions in government currency SKIES, and on Sat-
urday registered gold interest will be paid.
The total amount of interest to be paid in this
city on or about July l, is estimated at seven
ty-iive millions, of which twenty-six millions
will be discussed by the government, and near
ly all in gold.

College Commandments.

Wednesday. June Goth, closed commence
ment week at Dartmouth, the graduating class
numbering between seventy and eighty; several
of whom are from Maine. Never have we seen
a more brilliant audience during all the exer-
cises of the week. Monday evening the exer-
else for Prize Speaking by members from the
Junior and Sophomore classes came off. The
church having been tastefully decorated for the
occasion by Col. Beal of Boston, was filed,
both floor and gallery. The exercises passed
off with much success both in the selections
and Interpretation of pieces, rejecting great
credit upon the speakers, among whom was one
of our Maine boys Hermon L. Horne of Nor
way.
At 8 o'clock p. M, Tuesday, came Glass Day
Exercises which were very interesting, afford
ing much pleasure to friends and students.
Wednesday evening came the grand concert by
the Mendelssohn Quintette, Mrs. Mabel Burn
ham and the Temple Quartette, which was one
of the finest vocal and instrumental concerts
ever given in Hanover. Thursday came the
final graduating exercises aud the receiving of
diplomas, thereby adding seventy more wise men
to practical life. And now comes the annual
vacation, with its mountain trip, Old Orchard
resort and Springfield regatta. This being the
first year Dartmouth has put in her oar in that
direction, no small amount of interest is felt in
the result. With Biglin of New York, who
trained the winning crew last year, and six
hardy boys, whose average height is 1-4S feet,
and weight 1861 pounds. We shall watch with
interest the stand they will take among the
other more experienced crews. ~
On Wednesday the annual commencement
occurred at several colleges in New England
At Harvard there was the usual interest. The
degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred upon
the graduating class, 100 in number, among
whom were Thomas w. Baldwin of Bangor
Arthur H, Locke of Augusta and Gilbert A. A.
Peavey of Portland. The degrees of Bachelor
of Divinity, Bachelor of Law and Doctor of
Medicine were conferred upon large number.
At Brown University the degree of A. b.
was conferred upon 80 young men and that of
Bachelor of Philosophy upon II.
The commencement at Yale takes place this
week, the graduating 'exercis. occurring on
Thursday. The graduating class is very large
and the exercises show that large number of
distinguished men participate therein.
