The youth of to-day will begin to lose conf
dence in the asserted dangers of whale fish

in Raritan bay is to be taken as a representa-

attacked by three men in small boat, armed
only with knife, an axe and a scythe was
driven into shoal water and ANONYMOUSLY

The EmDerOr William.

The third would be assassin of Kaiser Will
helm, who fired several shots at him on Satur-
day. was as unsuccessful as his predecessors.
Pistol bullets do not seem to be able to touch
Wilhelm as Emperor any better than when, as
in the former attempts on his life he was
merely King of Prussia, or the heir apparent.
HOedel, the man who attempted the asSisSna-
tiOn, is, according to his own statement after
arrest, an anarchist, the enemy of all political
parties, of the present condition of society an
of public institutions. He denies that he in
tended to shoot the Emperor, and asserts that
his purpose was to kill himself The death OF
Kaiser Wilhelm at this iuncture would be a
great disaster, as still further unSettling the
present unsettled condition of European al
fairs. Much also remains to be done in the
way of assuring permanence to the union of
the German states. and the work of cOnSOlida
ton carried on by him with such success
should not be so rudely interrupted. His az
saSSinatiOn by the hand of a political fanatic
would arouse bitter feelings and cause dis
SenSiOns, and make the task of assuring
firm and united Germany most difficult.
The Emperor is said to have displayed great
GOODNESS under fire. His 81 years of life do not
seem TO have weakened his nerves 1t NAV
now be safely predicted hat his long and
eyentful career will be brought to peaceful
and natural close. He has gone through many
experiences in his time. As a young man he
accompanied the armies which overthrow the
great Napoleon. He became King of Prussia
In 1861, reOrganized the army, appointed Bis
marck as his minister, and waged successful
wars with Austria in 1866 and France in 1870
and ISL. On January Is of the latter year he
was proclaimed Emperor of Germany. His
great aim has been the unifcatiOn Of the Ger
man states, and his efforts in that direction
have been, SO far, successful When he dies

TIE yellow fever epidemic has
brought forth many theories us to the
history Of It's past ravages, and the pros
poets Of future calamity. A New Or
leans paper says the old and usually
accepted idea that the fever will not
readily attack native born citizen is
now entirely exploded. The fact that
many babies and young children have
been stricken down within few days
is accounted for in this wise: the last
real epidemic of yellow fever occurred
in 1867; since which time most of the
children attacked have been born. The
fever is held to result from peculiar
state of the atmosphere which I'LL must
once experience before being in any de-
gree fortified against the disease. 1t is
believed that people become, SO to
speak, inoculatcd by the mere presence
of the fever, and that change i'll the
system is thus effected. The children
who have not been thus affected are
now more liable to be attacked. This
also accounts for the superstition TINT
the native residents Of the south arc cX-
ompt from danger.

Two Baby Hippopotami.
New York Times.

Two distinguished arrivals from Afri-
ca We're greeted with curiosity and en-
thuslasm yesterday at the aquarium.
They were two baby hippopotami from
Nubia. which arrived Saturday on the
steamship Rhine, from Bremen, but
were not passed through the custom
house and transferred to their perma-
nent quarters until late yesterday after
noon. The large tank, built originally
for the seals that have gone to Coney
Island for the summer, had been pre-
pared for their use, and two streams of
fresh water We're flowing into it as the
great box in which they had made their
journey from SueZ was drawn up in
front Of it. The door of the box was
placed opposite the wire gate Of the
tank, and, after some hesitation and
much shifting of their new surround
ings, the little fellows stepped cautious
u out They found themselves on
wooden platform. from which Il flight
Of steps led down into the water. The
sound of the running water instantly
attracted their attention. and in their
eagerness to reach it they almost
plunged head foremost down the
flight of steps. 1t was pleasure
to witness their intense enjoyment
of the water. They dived, wallowed.
rolled, and frisked about in it with an
activity and ease astonishing in animals
Of their umwieldly bulk and form. They
played like young kittens, and were
only induced to leave it by the offer of
supper. This consists Of two pans of
milk, into each of which had been
broken half q dozen eggs They have
not yet been weaned, being only about
nne months old.
They were captured last February in
Nubia, ou branch stream of the Upper
Nile, by one of Reiche's expeditions.
They We're only captured by the killing
Of their mothers. After being kept for
three months near the scene Of their
capture, they joined great caravan Of
animals and set out onthe long journey
of forty-tive days across the Nuban
desert. The young hippotami were
transported in litters made Of bullock's
hide and slung on the backs Of camels,
and herd Of goats was driven with the
caravan to supply them with milk.
They are male and female, and weigh
about $50 pound apiece, although the
male is II little heavier as we'll as of
somewhat darker skin than the other.
His name is given by his Arab captors,
us Said, and the female is called Bachi-
ia, or the fortunate enc, because she
had the unusual experience Of being
captured without wound or bruise.
They are the only pair, male and e.
male, on exhibition in the world.

The Chief Cause or Hard Times.

There need be no hard times in this
country il people would use better
management of their private and their
public affairs. God has given to us A.
nation OF the finest lands on the face of
the earth. Here we have every variety
of soil, climate and production. There
need be no poverty in this country for
those who are able and willing to work.
and who are also willing to use good
common sense in ali thirgs, as do the
masses in the oyercrowded countries Of
Europe. Wheat we raise III abund-
ance, corn is plenty, potatoes are easily
produced, gardens yield literally to
those who will cultivate them, cotton
cloth il cheap, and wooden goods
should be- There are plenty Of hides
out of which to make lis boots and
shoes. The balance Of trade Is largely
IN our favor. Gold, silver copper, iron
and coal are found by simply digging
for them. Our forests are full OF lum-
Der, the woods abound with game of all
sorts and kinds. Fish are plenty, vet
we lind there are those who suffer for
the want Of food.
The greatest difficulty with us as
people, and which makes us poor, i
our extravaganza IN dress, in the high
cost Of our dwellings, and the great
waste practced in the kitchen. This is
not the only cause Of hard times, to be
sure, but II Is the chief one. Another
great cause Of distress among the labor
ing population is that too many Of
them huddle together in the cities, in
the towns, and in the manufacturing
districts, while the agricultural districts
are deserted. There are too many
consumers and not enough producers.

no promise of payment and no intrinsic
value, would speedily become
absolute in one respect, only they would
be absolutely worthless. This and all
the other chimerical subjects by which
it is proposed to bind cheap and
worthless substitute for the measure OF
value accepted and employed
by the civilized world are based upon
delusion, if not dishonesty, and If
adopted would result in disaster and
shame. We hold it to be the duty of
republicans and Of all good citizens to
oppose with uncompromising firmness
all these mischievious theories as we'll
as cognate doctrine of communism
and internationaism which menace So
ciety, individual liberty and the accu-
mulated savings of industry.
Fifth-We condemn the democratic
party for attempting to disarm the ma
tional aim and for seeking to
debase the currency and arrest
all progress towards resumption for vot-
ing to reduce largely the tax on articles
like whisky and tobacco, thereby rem
dering necessary increased taxation on
other industries,
Sixth-We declare the investigation
respecting the last presidential election
has wholly failed to disclose any inn
proper action by President Hayes.
Seventh We oppose further grants
