Strikes and the Price OF Coal and
Iron i'm England.

Strikes and tho Price OF Coal and
Iron i'm England.
The recent strike Of the miners in England,
together with number of previous strikes
among that class Of laborers and iron workers,
has caused an advance in the price of both
coal and iron. No more serious blow could
be given to the most important branch of
British industry, as far as the effect goes. In
fact, the combinations of workmen generally,
the movement of the agricultural laborers for
increased wages lately and the growth Of CO.
operative associations are tending to increase
the cost Of production and the market value
Of materials and produce. The success of
England in monopolizing to great extent the
markets of the world depended greatly upon
low wages That country will find it more
difficult to maintain its commanding position
in this respect as wages increase and mining
becomes more expensive. Yet there is no way
of averting the demands and improvement of
the working classes This state of things is
giving great deal of uneasiness to the capi-
talists and government of England. 1t is q
favorable time for those interested in mining
and manufacturing in the United States to in
crease their operations and to invite the
skilled laborers of England to emigrate to this
country.

SPEEDY AND SPECIAL LEGISLATION. N.-One of
the evils of our system of speedy and special
legislation was shown in the Senate on Mon
day in o little speech made by Mr.. Morrill,, of
Vermont Mr.. Morrill, showed how corpora
ton called the Washington Market Company
obtained q valuable franchise from the govern
ment; how in consideration Of this franchise
it agreed to perform certain acts, and how it
avoided the performance of these acts by hav-
ing surreptitious and inexplicable amend
ment passed, which Mr.. Morrill, did not sup
pose five men in either House of Congress un-
derstood. Mr.. Morrill, proposes that the COM
pany be investigated to see whether or not it
has forfeited its charter. It seems to us that
legislation should be so guarded in Washington
that these mysterious amendments could not
be passed What is the use of committee
or Of debate If the science Of Legislative de-

Now THAT the Convention Of Roman Catho-
lie Archbishops is in session in Cincinnati re-
arranging the dioceses in the United States,
would it not be well to consider also the ques-
ton Of the appointment Of an American cardi-
nal? Why is it that the Pope has never con-
ferred the scarlet hat upon an American
prelate? We have many Catholic divines Of
eminent virtue and piety. The Catholic
Church in America is one of the most obe-
dent focks under the care Of the Pope. If o
cardinal is of any use at all he is of as much
use in America as in England or France. The
Holy Father, to please Napoleon, appointed o
young cousin Of the Emperor to be cardinal.
Yet to please the Church in America he will
not honor one Of its learned and revered
prelates. Is he afraid that there may be o
Yankee Pope in timer These are questions
that it would be well for the Roman Catholic
Convention in Cincinnati to consider.

PASTORAL Politics. note that what is
called the advisory Committee of the nli-
nois Farmers Association" proposes to call a
Farmers Convention for June 10. This date
is two days previous to the meeting of the Re-
publican Convention. We do not know what
the farmers mean to do, but we have little
confidence in their agricultural proclivities
Tie real farmer has something else to do than
to hang around political caucus. When the
truth is known it will be found that the
farmers are politicians with hay seed in their
clothes, who use the farmers name as a pre-
text for power.

fears that the undertakers of the city, in their
haste to pack bodies in ice, sometimes put into

THE New WoNDER-A bill to ''provide for
the completion Of the Washington National
Monument has been introduced into the
House. This monument should either be
taken down or finished. 1t has already been
in process of erection for one generation, and
we presume the second centennial of the Repub-
lie, in 1876, will witness another step or two
towards its completion. However, these mon
uments will stand great deal of building.

We had hoped that among the wise lessons
recently learned by Congress was the folly of
all land grant legislation. It seems to be
generally conceded that under the pretence of
developing the resources of the country
there has been wicked and wasteful ex-
penditure Of the public money and the public
lands. We had the Credit Mobilier business.
which has no parallel in our history for de-
liberate and shameless wickedness. We had
the Northern Pacific Railway grant, in which
an extent of territory as large as France was
voted to. q company without any value re-
ceived or any guarantee that it would fulfil
its contract Another company received an
immense grant and cannot pay it's interest ON
its bonds. The mature judgment of our
wisest men is that the whole system of land
grants was based upon q mistaken idea of the
relations between the general government and
internal public improvements. The theory
accepted in the beginning, when the repub-
lican party laid down the plank in its plat
form in favor Of a railway to the Pacific, was
that the building Of railway through waste
lands, like those composing the vast inland
plains OF the Continent would add largely to
the value Of the remaining lands, ard that the
practical effect Of the land grants would be to
give our Western domains value they never
possessed, and which they would not possess
without these railways. Consequently the
granting Of land for railway building was
really giving value to valueless acres.
This was captivating theory, but it was
abused We have no right to give these vast
tracts of fertile acres to irresponsible corpora-
tiona They are the heritage of our children,
and when we endow railway companies with
as many acres as are contained in countries as
large as France we squander their heritage.
1t is, therefore, with regret that we observe
the passage by the Senate of the bill to endow
the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in Mime
sofa. Of the particular merits of this road we
know nothing. 1t proposes to run in Mime
sofa, State that has already been richly
endowed by the government in the way Of
lands. MIR. Stevenson, of Kentucky. ex-
pressed the feeling Of the country when he
said public opinion was opposed to grant
ing amounts Of land twice as much as one
whole State in the Union" Notwithstand-
ing this pregnant statement Of the case, and
the opposition of Senators like Thurman
and Sherman, the grant was passed We are
panied to see in the list Of those who voted in
its favor men like Frelinghuysen and the
new Senator from Massachusetts,. Mr.. Wash
burn. We trust the House will defeat the bill,
and in doing 80 strike down this land grant
principle. It was only the other day we had
discussion on economy. Economy meant
reducing the salaries of few clerks. But
Senators who will strain over the wages Of .
few clerks win permit irresponsible corpora
tons to swallow an ''amount of land twice a.
much as one whole State in the Union.s

MODEST VALoR.-The wonder that has been
expressed at the meagreness of the honors
conferred upon Sir Garnet Wolseley tor his
successes in the Ashantee expedition is ex-
planned in the recent speech of Mr.. Disraei
proposing grant to him of S125,000. The
Queen proposed to give him peerage, with
money enough to support the rank. But Sir
Garnet declined, as he was already heir to two
baronetces, and he wished no honor that was
not strictly professional

The Grand Jury of the General Sessions on
the 29th Of April last made presentment Of
their views regarding the evidence laid before
them in support of certain charges against
the Commissioners of Charities and Correo-
ton. The Grand Jury find that the supplies
for the department for the last year have been
purchased Sin manner at once wasteful ex-
travagant, leading directly to corruption. and
which, in the interest of the reputation of tho
Commissioners as well as of the city of New
York, should be at once reformed" This ia
a Pecksnifian way of putting the facts, but it
is enough to demand an immediate change in
the Commission by the Mayor and Governor,
in accordance with the provisions of the
charter. It is notorious that the Department
of Charities and Correction is s.honeycombed
with corruption" and we have no doubt that
there is as much rascality to be unearthed in
that Commission as ever there was in the
Commission under the old Tammany rule. II
Mayor Havemeyer should neglect to perform
his clear duty on this presentment of the
Grand Jury and send the names of the Com
missioners to the Governor for removal, the
Commissioners of Accounts should enter the
Department of Charities and Correction and
give it an overhauling. The reform gov
ernment at present promises to turn out but
little, if any, better than the infamous rule it
displaced.

"CoM1Na Down TO HARDPAN. One of the
most expressive phrases in our common
forms of speech comes from California. When
the miner is through with gravel and clay and
the extraneous deposits which burden the
mine, and reaches the rock in which the gold
is imbedded, he says he has ''come down to
hardpan." So the phrase has passed into our
common speech. What we see in Wall street
now is general ''coming down to hardpan."
Stocks fall in value, not because their real
value has diminished, but because all along
they have ranged at false and unnatural values.
We have had, and we have now, q multitude
of stocks that represent q fictitious value.
They have been "watered," they have been
issued improperly, their values have been
nominal season of speculation and un-
wholesome dealings with the currency has
stimulated them into false value. If infa-
ton had become q settled policy they would
have gone still higher. But they had to fall
some time or another, for in Wall street, as in
other parts Of the world. falsehood must fall

Mr.. Washburne and the Treasury De
partment.

Mr. Washburne and the Treasury De-
partment.
1t has been clear for some time that new
man in the Treasury Department was prime
necessity from every point Of view. and now
we hear that this man is to be Mr.. Washburne,
the present Minister to France-if that gen.
tleman will accept the place BE certainly
has pleasanter position where heis To give
up the comparative eiysium Of first class
diplomatic post at Paris for the hurly-burly of
Washington and the intrigue and jobbery of
the Treasury Department would not be to act
on ordinary human inclinations, even though
the change involves the temptation, in the
political hierarchy, of Cabinet Office But
Mr. Washburne is not the man to act on in
clination merely or from the impulse of o
taste for quiet and ease, as his career at Paris
has shown. His service abroad has given him
national reputation, and he was distin-
guished in Congress for his energetic defence
of the public purse from many would-be
plunderer years before he went away. If he
were in the Treasury Department we feel toler-
ably certain he would never sign contracts or
other important papers as a matter of routine
and without looking at them. He would not
send checks, made payable to the Secretary of
the Treasury, to be divided with outsiders,
without good evidence that they had
some claim. In fact if Mr.. Washburne
were Secretary of the Treasury we do
not believe that important department would
be managed in any great degree by any other
person. All these reasons are in favor of the
mooted nomination. Nobody, SO far as we are
aware, knows what Mr.. Washburne's views
are as to imitation, nor does it seem that this
point is important since initiation is perhaps
effectually scotched if not killed Our Min
lister to France, moreover, is q gentleman
with brains enough to accommodate himself to
the financial facts and likely to carry out
with vigor the policy that the people sustain
not wrong-headed person, like too many
official magnates, to force some crotchet of his
own and complain of the obstinate stupidity
of the whole country. Altogether, we think
the President could do very well to go to
Paris for Secretary of the Treasury.

Wanted, . Police Commissioners.

The politicians on both sides of the fence
are sorely exercised over Mr.. Havemeyers 8
procrastination in the matter of the appoint
ment of Police Commissioner to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of Henry
Smith When the Board of Aldermen had
the confirming power the ripe and humorous
Mayor sent to the Board the names first Of Mr.
Andrews and next of ex-Judge Rowland The
former declined the office-the Aldermen de-
clined to confirm the second nominee. Mr..
Havemeyer now has the privilege of making
the appointment of his own will, and he mys-
teriously holds back and leaves the vacant
Police Commissionership untitled. The re-
publicans of the Custom House stamp believed
that he could not avoid appointing Judge
Rowland The republicans of the Weed
stripe are said to desire the appointment Of
Alderman Morris, q much more competent
man. The Tammany Kellyite democrats ask
the Mayor to put one of their own number in
the place. The opposition democracy are
striving hard to win Executive favor for q
democratic rebel. Meanwhile the venerable
Mayor wipes his spectacles, chuckles and ad-
mits that he "can't see his way clearly just
yet" and, with an amiable smile on his coun-
tenance, suggests that "there's plenty of time
yet, and the Police Commission seems to get
along very well as it is" What is to be the
result nobody knows, but it is certain that
Mr.. Havemeyer sees chance for good
'trick" in the important card he holds in his
hand

below the level Of truth. We are sincerely
sorry for those Of our citizens who have pur-
chased stocks at false values and who now

should suffer than that the country should

better for all

Capital Moving.

The irrepressible Reavis and his friends
are striving to have the national capital
removed to Peoria or Alton or Duluth or
St Louis or some such lake and prairie
settlement in the West A convention is to
be held on the subject in October There
is no harm in the convention if the delegates
only have money enough for expenses. The
place for the capital is New York. Let the
new Congress Hall be built in Central Park,
with the public buildings oil around. By that
time we shall have rapid transit and fine
drives, and our statesmen when off duty will
have the opera and Wallacks and Daly's and
other first class places Of amusement. Rocky
Mountain members will appreciate "Humpty
Dumpty" and the minstrels, while religious
statesmen will enjoy Beechers church, where
religion is of a joyous character, or St.
Stephens, where it is more in the way of
penance, or Frothingham's, 8, where it is still of
an indefinite character. We would not have
the Washington Board of Public Works, al
though we have somewhat stupendous record
in that direction; but we have partnership
of venerable statesmen, going back to
the time Of the Revolution, still bloom
ing in centennial sprightliness and
activity. Moreover we have the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to, Animals,
whose ever honored President would see that
the debates were briefer than at present as ON
act of mercy. Then there is our troupe of
little "tyrants" Van Mort, Foley, Green and
the others. For inducements and opportu-
mites New York is ten thousand times more at
tractive than any town in the West Let our
Congressman try the metropolis for winter

RELIGIOUS PROFESSIONS. As we are coming
into the summer, and shall probably have our
own share Of religious festivals, with the
Orange parade on July 10, it may be we'll to
recall an extract from some freshly discovered
letters of Frederick the Great, recently pub
lished in o German paper It seems that
certain Catholics in the town Of Cleves, while
on their way in procession to shrine of the
Virgin, permitted their devotional zeal to vent
itself on Protestant. The King wrote about
it as follows:-'I have heard Of the disturb
ance caused by your last procession. If you
wish to continue these ridiculous promenadea
I advise you not to insult any one belonging
to different religion, as otherwise shall be
compelled to put stop to such follies and the
guilty will be severely punished" This is the
true spirit. At the same time it would be q
matter Of rejoicing to us if this whole busi-
ness of religious and party professions were
suppressed by the common consent and COM
mon sense of our people

Several State elections will occur this year,
and already speculations as to the results are
INDUCED in. Oregon, on June l, will lead off,
with four tickets in the feld-viz., the repub-
ican, democratic, farmers and temperance.
The State is democratic one, but with such
breaking up of parties into four tickets it is
doubtful whether the democrats will reap any
substantial benefits or the result be of any
great significance as an expression of the pop
ular sentiment Of the country. North Caro-
lima, which has republican State officers and q
democratic Legislature, will record its verdict
in August The last Legislature, by refusing
to enlarge the educational facilities of the State
has aienated many voters from the democ-
racy, but the democratic papers Of the State
appear sanguine Of winning victory never
theless, as the contest is likely to be confined
to the two leading political parties, with the
liberals united with the democrats. A few
days after Kentucky will hold its election
for State officers, and will, no doubt give
an increased democratic majority. In Sep
tember Maine and Vermont elect State officers,
and will probably undergo but little political
change Then will follow New York, and later
Illinois and other States, in which the grangers
will, no doubt, have something to say. In In
diana the farmers are preparing to nominate
separate ticket, and present indications
are that their example will be followed by
those of Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Min
nesota
