not found where it would be most abundant
if fed upon the materials from which
malarious poisons are terminated. In the
general cloudinsss on the subject OF the
genesis>of the disease the facts he presents
are OF value as those of careful observer.
From another correspondent we have the
particulars Of a new curative method so
simple and inexpensive that any one can
avail himself of it if it stands the test OF
general practice as well as it has that OF
the single case to which it has been applied.

THE WEATHER.-'rbo pressure il below the

River The centre of lowest barometer is over
the western lake regions. The pressure is high
over the Atlantic Ocean parallel with the coast
hom Florida TO the New England States. IL is
also high in the Rocky Mountain regions. Rain
has fallen on tho South Atlantic and Gulf coast
districts, the lake regions and the Northwest.
A very severe hail and thunder storm il reported
20 have passed over the northern section of Da.
kota, doing much damage to property and causing
loss Of life. IL was developed on the western
margin Of the depression that Ia now over the
lake region, but there were very marked in
dications Of the organization OF such u phe-
nomenon. We print elsewhere the details vi this
destructive storm. The winds have been fresh
OH the Middle Atlantic and New England COASTS;
they have been generally brisk In the Northwest,
aud elsewhere they have been light. Tempera-
lures have risen In the Middle Atlantic aud
New England States and the luke region. They
have been variable elsewhere. There are indi-
cations of tho Developments of local disturb
ances over the lake regions during the next few
days. The weather n New York and it's vicnr
ity to-day will be warm aud fair or partly
cloudy, possibly with occasional showers. To-
morrow IT promises to be warm and fair or partly
cloudy in the early part of the day, followed by
increasing cloudincss and possibly rains.

Journeyman Capitalists Views.
The Hewitt Committee yesterday were SO
fortunate IS to listen to a witness who>had
been both employer and employed, and the
workingmen everywhere will do well to
read this gentleman's testimony. In his
business the manufacture of shoes-at
Worcester, Mass, there are twenty-one
firms. aggregating forty members, and each
of these men rose from the journeyman's
bench to his present position. In the face
of evidence like this, talk about the dis
elimination Of capital against labor becomes
the veriest nonsense. The instability OF
capital was forcibly illustrated by some
facts offered by the witness. OF the eighteen
firms who were making shoes at Worcester
in 1850 all but four failed, and of the
twenty-one who were in the business
ten years later twelve failed, and only two
of those who went out carried any Of their
capital with them. This statement, with the
one given in our late report of the dry
goods trads-that ninety per cent of our
merchants fail-will show any sensible
workingman that capital is not the immova-
BILE tyrant that agitators love to portray it
.has been slave to thousands" and may yet
be made the slave OF any man who has the
ability to think, work and save, though it
may never yet have been pressed into the
service Of those who merely talk, grumble
and expect some one else to do their work
for them.

statesmen and the judgment of foreign OBJ
servers who were friendly to our country
and its institutions.
1t il trns that the reasoning We have
quoted relates only to the question of re-
eligibility and not to an extension of the
Presidential term. The necessity for ex-
tending the term rests on different grounds,
which are two in number. One is that a
President should remain in Office long
enough to enable him to carry out his pol
icy. if he has one. and test its value; the
other and perhaps stronger reason is the
need OF relief from incessant party turmoil.
An eminent and most Intelligent foreign
writer-the late John Stuart Mill-has set
forth this evil with his usual clearness.
"Another important consideration, says
Mill, sis the great mischief of uninter-
mitted electioneering When the highest
dignity in the State is to be conferred
by popular election once in every few years
the whole intervening time is spent in what
is virtually a canvass Presidents, minis
tiers, chiefs of parties and their followers
are all electioneerers; the whole commu-
nifty is kept intent on the mere personali-
ties OF politics, and every public question
is discussed and decided with less refer
ence to it's merits than to its expected bear
ing on the Presidential election. If sys-
TEN had been devised to make party spirit
the ruling principle of action in all public
affairs, and create an inducement not
only to make every question party
question but 10 raise questions for
the purpose of founding parties upon
them, it would have been difficult
to contrive any means better adapted to
the purpose" We commend these forcible
observations of the ablest English advocate
of representative government in our time
to the earnest reflection OF American citi-
zens. So far is 1t from being true that this
partsof our constitution is susceptible OF no
i'm provement, as we have been fippantly
told, it is the producing cause of some OF
the worst political evils with which the
country is afflicted. AS there is wide
spread conviction that the executive article
OF the constitution must be soon amended
we trust the change will not be limited to
the machinery of electing and counting in
the President. but will be commensurate
with the demonstrated evils of the system.

The HERALD has already reported O
pleasant chat with the new managers Of the
Broadway Theatre, and to-day we give con-
siderable information about the Park and
Standard. The managsrs of these three
|. houses, like those OF the others upon which
we have informed our readers, are con-
fident of d good season, and it must be
admitted that their reasoning on this sub
ject is sound Nothing shows better the
improvement, in theatrical affairs than
the habit of the modern manager to
study tho aspect of. business in gen.
eral in connection with his own. The
companies of the three houses named are
quite strong, and their lists of attractions
seem considerably in advance of those Of
last year. The frequency with which the
names of American authors appear in these
lists augurs we'll for dramatic interests, for,
however superior in point of art the foreign
dramatists may be, it is undeniable that
people are likely to care most for matter
which has the virtue of familiarity
Manager Fulton, Of the Broadway, ex-
presses the sentiments of managers every
where in his remarks upon that heavy and
vicious baraacle, the "deadhead" Morally,

giving has reduced to ruin many q man.
agemcnt otherwise judicious. Whatever is
worth having is worth paying for, and rule,
which is of general application elsewhere,
should not be broken at the box Office by
either the public or the management. As,
however, possession is nine points of the
initiate and maintain reform on this point.

Upon what principle do the street cloan-
ers pay most attention to streets with fewest
residents? Through all our reports runs
the fact that the streets oftenest cleaned are
those in which the houses are inhabited by
only one family each. 1t may be true that
on these roads the people have more money
than their neighbors in streets bordered by
tenement houses, but the appropriation
was made for the good of the gen.
eral public, not Of the wealthy few. The
front of tenement containing twenty
families generally deserves twenty times as
much attention as that Of Fifth avenue
mansion, for poverty seldom lessons the
quantity of garbage to be cast out, while it
greatly increases the possibilities of disease
arising from such material. 1t is worse
than stupidity or toadyism to favor the
richer neighborhoods ut the expense of the
poorer ones; it is fragrant dishonesty.
