put down.
In the British House of Commons yesterday
Mr.. Disraeli was Instrumental in causing the
House to give precedence to the Government
Shipping bill, which he praised to the detr-
ment of Mr.. PlimsO!l's measure. This indi-
Gates that it is the policy of the Government
to defeat the bill which is likely to he of most
practical value in furtherancc of the proposed
reform.
The capture Of four of the men who have
been engaged in the manufacture of counterfeit
trade dollars and other coin in this city was a
very important arrest and the officers OF the
Secret Service Department should have some
recognition for their skill. 1t is all the more
important from the fact that tho trade dollar
was so well initiated as to have even the
"rng" of tho genuine and 20 surprise, IL not
deceive even, the officials at the Assay Office.
The Journey Of the American Team from

Spain is to have n new fundamental law
differing very little from that of most constitu-

This looks Enthusiastically like return to the
old oppressive system OF colonial government
ard is calculated to confirm the Cubans in The
belief that little good is to be expected from
their mother country.
The Health Commissioners yesterday resolved
to ask the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment for an appropriation Of $4,000 in order
to continue the work of the special vaccnatlng
corps through August and September. The Com
mis- ;ionors have shown so much energy united
with discretion in dealing with smallpox,
that, as they think il necessary to keep up the
precautions which have been in foice for two
months longer, il is reasonable to believe that
the Board of Apportionmrnt will not do TN
wisely to grant the request.
dispatch from Prof. Janncy confirms yes
tcrday's apparently eXtravagant reports as to
tie new found gold in the Black Hills. lie
speaks confidently, but with evident caution
still believing that, no matter how yall-
able the mines may he, the real wealth OF
| the Black Hills lies in their capacity for agri-
cultural development. The efforts of the Gov
eminent to preserve the reputod gold region from
! being Overrun by miners seem to have been
attended with little success, and il is likely
! that the task will grow more difficult cyoiy
day. The publication of these reports to the
| Interior Department cannot fail to keep alive
the fever of emigration.
| The statement now issued Gy the United
States Centennial Board of Finance shows that
the trouble with the managers of tie great
Exhibition is q lack of money rather than Of
time for the completion of the building under
contract. We are assured that, thus far, bills
have been paid as they became due, but if this
iudcious policy is still to be followed

Mr. Michael Nolan stepped down and out
| from the District Attorneys Office yesterday,
but not without characteristic parting word
| He writes to Mr.. Phelps that he is conscious
that there has been no "mOral turpi-
| "tuder in what he did concerning the head
money. Even The cTedulous will hardly be-
| lieve that on Mr.. NOlaus word alone,
| after the exhibitions which have been made
| of him and which he has been making Of him
self within few days. People do not care
nearly SO much for Mr. NOldns assurances
| that he has done no wrong as for the exposure
of the man or men with whom he shared the
| money obtained from the steamship companies.
And Mr. Nolan retrcs lto private life, bat by
| no me II into privacy, so long as the ltgisla-
| tive investigation is going on, with few re-
| gret5 and with the terrible threat of eX-GOv.
| Alvord TO pursue him to the eud Of his life
and legislative career DIGGING his heels.
