monarchists, and these latter. with tradiGonary
treachery. are only waiting propitious
moment to hurl the man from power who
saved them from the logical federal Republic
and restored to their hands the government of
the country they had 30 long oppressed.
Unless the federal republicans appeal to arms
against the advent Of Serrano to power and
bya new revolution defeat the plottings of
De Rodas, Serrano and their followers,
we may look upon the Spanish Republic as a
thing of the past. If it is ovethrown, how
ever, it will only be for time, as the inevitable
return wave will sweep the military conspira-
tors once more from the helm. The Prince
Alfonso may wear a crown and be called o
King for while, but the principles of democ-
racy have taken too deep root among the
Spanish people to allow them ever to settle
back contentedly under stupid and corrupt
despotism. The leaders of the Spanish re-
publicans have made the mistake of acting
illogcally and trying to build up republic
on expediency. The result is failure.
Party Politics and Our city Courts.
In another column will be found manly
letter from Recorder Hackett which is credita-
which should attach to his Court. The in
dividual who obtains notoriety through the
Recorders letter Is some small potato politician
who has not studied to any profit the theory
of judiciary untrammelled by party politics.
He will scarcely, however, like to find his
name in print attached to the epistle in which
the criminal court is requested to surrender
at sight one deputy clerk and one court officer
to the Twentieth Assembly District Tammany
Hall General Committee. The reply of
Recorder Hackett will meet the unqualified
appreciation of oil good citizens, including,
no doubt, Mr.. Tilden. Mr.. Kelly and
the rest It is just w well that
DR.. Feodor Mierson, and all othersSlike him.
should learn that there is nothing so
baneful to republican institutions as the sys-
tenn by which Judiciary is forever at the
mercy Of political harpies. There are some
warnings which should not be thrown away
on parties. The fall of the compromised
judges Of this State is fresh in the public
mind It will require some courage on the
part Of q judge to follow in their footsteps,
but political parties must take care that, while
the Judge is kept pure. no attempt be made to
surround him with demoralizing political
tools Dr.. Mierson will not soon forget the
lesson which the Recorder has read him, and
it will be to the interest, we imagine, of all
political committees who come to understand
ings regarding court patronage" to give the
criminal court wide berth in their future
calculations.

JOSEPH ARCH WANTED IN NEW ZEALAND
The Department Of immigration in New
Zealand has extended an invitation to Mr..
Joseph Arch, the famous agent of the agricul-
tural laborers Of England, requesting him to
visit that country and examine and report
upon its resources 1t is only few days since
Mr.. Arch had an interview with Premier Glad
stone. Mr.. Arch was recently in this country,
and it is well known that he went home highly
impressed with the excellence of our institu-
tons and the vastness Of our resources. 1t
would seem from the latest news that the
British government is determined to do its
best to keep firm hold Of its people, even if
they will leave their homes. MIR. Joseph
Arch has become power in the land. It is
possible chat the government is of the opinion
that his influence may be more usefully ex-
erted abroad than at home.

The Provision and Prevention OF Fogs.
The recent London fog has afforded very
interesting clew to it's own philosophy which
may enable the Londoners to foresee the misty
masks which are so often thrown over the me-
tropolis. The latest English papers, contain
ing full weather reports, show that the great
fog of the 18th, 18th and 18th ult, was
ushered in by and was coeval with large anti
cyclone or aerial wave Of high pressure. The
connection between the area OF high barometer
and the fog area conclusively shows that the
latter is the physical effect of the former-a
fact which suggests how the provision or fore
cast of fogs is practicable. When Sir Hum
phrey Davy descended the Danube in 1918 he
observed that the fog was formed during the
night, when the temperature Of the air on
shore was from three to six degrees lower
than that Of the stream, but when the sun
rose and the temperatures were brought to an
equality the enveloping mist was Immediately
dissipated. The artificial heat of city and
the warmth of its contiguous river bed increase
the humidity of the air, and when the
cold anticyclone comes over it the
moisture is copiously condensed The
same conditions which brought about
the London fogs occasion our own fogs.
The only difference is this, that while the
British fogs follow the arrival of high barom-
eter cold waves from the east-Scandinavia
and Russia-our New York and New England
fogs are induced by similar waves from Canada
and the northwest It is obvious that were
these facts generally understood our citizens
and coast seamen, by little examination of
the barometer and thermometer, might IN
aided by the scientific reports, predict the
dangerous fogs and make preparations accord
ingly.
The London Times, in commenting on the
late enshrouding of the British metropolis,
suggests that if the heating apparatus used in
the city were required to be smoke consuming
the dense opacity of the fogs might be pre-
vented and the municipal phenomenon thus
robbed of its terrcrs. The idea, if practi-
cable, is certainly philosophical; for there
can be little doubt that the opacity of fogs is
largely due to the mass of coal dust, smoke
and other dust floating or suspended in the
mist If to some such expedient for deliver
ing the air of these impurities also
greatly deteriorate public health-by smoke
consuming stoves and furnaces the drainage
and dryness of the streets were better secured
the effects of the fog would be comparatively
.unfelt ..iEs sfs ssss;ssa,- y. .ss-'1'
