TIE Commissioners of Charities and
Corrections in New York have assign
ed a first class hospital on Wards
Island, with about two hundred patti
ents, to the use Of the homeopathic
physicians. This is said to be the first
homeopathic charity hospital ever
established in the world. The home
opatbists have met with all sorts of
opposition and ridicule from their
brethren of the old school, but they
will soon have an opportunity of put
ting their theories to a practical test,
which will 90 far to topopuIarize or con-

AGAINST SEcEssioN,-Mou;gomery,
Alabama, was the first capital Of the
confederate states" and there the
confederate congress met and the con-
federate government planted itself. 1t
Is an odd ana at the same l.me 4 graf
flying circumstance to find that the
Alabama constitutional convention,
now in session at Montgomery. body
Overwhelmingly democratic, has just
unanimously adopted the following as
a part of the bill Of rights of the new
State constitution it is framing The
people of this State accept as final the
established fact that from the federal
Union there can be no secession of
any State" And yet there are repub-
llcans, like Senator Boutwell,, who
talk about new rebellion"

JUsr So.-Grant in his letter ac'
cepling Delano's resignation, expresses
the opinion that the retiring minister
has discharged every duty with
ability and integrity" This is the
Presidents estimate. Per contra, the
country regards Delano as the greatest
rascal thai ever held Office, and halls
bis retirement as a respite from the
reign Of thieves.

The TAMMASY SfsCEDERs.-Robert Il.
Roosevelt, James NJ. Smith. Francis NJ.
Bixby, JOSEPH BIumeuthal and Bernard Cas-
serly have issued circular in which they
speak of John Kelly as the master spirit of
the Tammsny society. They allege that
" although the forms of nominations by con
ventions, or retended conventions, are some
times observed, no nominations for an i'm
portaut office Il, in fact. ever made by the
people through real convention, elected by
them, and without the direct interposition
and dictation of their party leader"

TERRITORIAL CAPIToL.-The question
Of removing the Territorial capitol
will come up at the present session of
the legislature, and it is understood
that Seattle will enter the lists and
expects to carry Oft the prize. Since
the completion of the railroad from
the Columbia river TO the Sound,
Olympia has ceased 10 be on the main
line OF travel, and in fact has come to
be regarded as an Out-of.Ihe-way
place. Indeed, Olympia has never
been 4 place Of any considerable i'm
portance, and had it not been for the
business connected with the govern
ment offices, and the consequent travel
10 and fro, the town would not have

little good farming land in It's immedi-
ate neighborhood, and too far up the
Sound 10 ever become q trading Gen.
ire, We can discover no future for
Olympia, and think the legislature will
do well 10 remove the capitol TO Seat

The new President of the republic of Cuba
proposes to deal the Spaniards blow for blow.
Il has been he custom of the latter to shoot
all Cuban prisoners taken in arms The
Cuban President now announces his intention
TO retaliate in kind. The barbarities Of the
war in Cuba are a disgrace to civilization,
but the Cubans have been long suffering and
it is to be hoped that this determination to
retaliate for Spanish outrages viii lead TO the
adoption Of a method OF warfare in accord
ance with the recognized code of nations.

An Eastern Journal, Of considerable
circulation and more pretense, remarks
that " hard money does not appear 10
exempt the people of the Pacific coast
from financial panics any more than a
greenback currency does cur own
community" To which the money
editor Of the Philadelphia Record
makes answer: mo one with sense
enough to make four out Of two and
two ever supposed it would. If a
merchant lays in q large stock of
goods and the price falls before he
sells it, he VIII be a loser, no matter
whether he buys and sells for coin or
greepbacks; if a gambler stakes his
last dollar and the dice decide against
him, 1t is Of little consequence whether
his stake was gold or paper-he is
broke" An ass will be an ass though
his ears be plated with gold.

\ School DEcIsIoY.-A colored
clergyman Of Brooklyn brought suit
TO compel the admission of his son to
the public schools on an equality with
white children. Supreme Justice
Gilman delivered the decision. He
sustained the claim of the board of
education that they have the right,
under the statutes, to prescribe upon
what terms and conditions the benefits
Of the free school system shall be en-,
Joyed within their jurisdiction. 1t
was held further that the regulation
under consideration was not in conflict
either With the acts of the legislature
or with the civil rights act. because il
does not appear that coIored pupils are
thereby deprived of any advantages
extended to another class.

i CoRRECT SENTrNENT.-The San
Francisco E,;asoiaer is one of the
ableSt democratic papers IN the conn-
try, and is a standard authority III all
that relates to party matters. Cccu
pying this position, it is worty of note
that the Ecdnliner never fails to de.
nounce rascals in office, it matters not
to what party they belong. Discuss
ing the question Of the necessity of
honesty in administering public affairs,
it says:
:" The citizens of Oalifornia il are peculiar
people. They are not SO tied to any political
party TO prefer its success over their own
interest and they are determined to have
good, honest, economical government, no
matter what organization may temporarily
hold the reins of power. If rogues rule, it is
immaterial what party covering they do their
stealing under. II they don the livery of
democracy to plumber the people. it is all the

ASSESSING GoyEESNENt OFFICIALS
The New York Tribune says that the
secretary Of the republican congress
sional executive committee has sent
an official intjmation even 10 the
women employed in the government
Offices al Washington. that they must
make a contribution oftwelve dollars
for the expenses Of the coming presi-
Dental election. This Is regarded as
the preliminary gun in the opening
campaign. If they are called upon
for twelve dollars each fifteen months
before the election, they can safely
make their calculations TO contribute
two or three times during the progress
of the campaign. This practice of
calling upon government officials TO
contribute 10 political campaigns
should be suppressed by law The
United States government never will
be We'll served while politicians are
permitted 10 enact the role of tax
collectors on government officials.
More especially should women, who
have no vote and can take no active
part in the canvass, be protected from
the rapacity of political committees.
The press have often demanded that
the government should pay the same
rates OF sslries as private firms: but
this, of course, can never be whils
government employees are subject to
such calls SIS that noted above.
