EDITORIAL NOTES.
Ton LYNCH, the man who upset the
boat at Reeds Lake on the 18th ult, by
which young Sebling was drowned. has
been arrested on charge of man
THE New York Democracy declare
that ''the depression of business is caused
by reaction of the unhealthy stimu-
lus of an excessive, deprecated, and ire
deemable currency" The Ohio and
Pennsylvania Democracy declare that it
is caused by contraction and too small
amount Of currency. The doctors dis
agree.
The census of Milwaukee shows pop
ulation of 1GO,775, gain of 29,335 since
1870, which is at the rate of 1866 a year.
The population of Detroit i'm 1874 was
l01. 225, an average gain of 5,4l4 in the
five years since 1870. The two cities
have stood remarkably near together in
growth for the last twenty-five years, and
are still growing at about the same rate
Of increase.
STRAWS show the wind. Capital is
sensitive to political changes and pros
poets. Thus the Grand Rapids EAGLE
says when the Pennsylvania Democrats
adopted an imitation platform legal ten
der notes fell about two per cent. The
New York Democrats have adopted a
specie basis platform and the legal tender:
have arisen again about one per cent.

THE Centennial is going to cost some
thing. 1t is a "big thing" and big thing:
always cost. It is estimated that the
main building will cost $1,5O0OOO; art
gallery, S1,5O0,000; machinery building
$550,000 horticultural building, $25O,OOO
agricultural building, $25O,OOO; other
buildings, with stock yards, improve
ments, etc., $1.000,000. Aggregate per-
manent cost, $5,O53,OOO. The expense OF
running the exhibition for six months
will, it is thought, bring up the entire
cost to $S,000,000. The Board of Finance
started out to raise this sum by sales oil
stock and from state appropriations
The citizens of Philadelphia furnished
81, 100000, and the state Of Pennsylvania
100000 from the word go. These
amounts are not represented in stock
They are applied mostly to buildings
chief among which is the art gallery
which will remain as the permanent prop
erty Of the state and city. The stock
subscriptions so far reach little over
$2,5O0,00O. This leaves 100000 to be
raised.
WRITING of Taxation Without Repre-
sentation, Lydia Maria Child says: "But,
on the other hand, imperfect as govern

deal of protection from the laws, fol-
safe roads and free schools. Not being q
traveller, have small use for roads, and
being unfortunately childless, l have nc
grandchildren to attend the public
schools. But whatever benefits the peo-
