II was great deal for the Canadians to
have his royal mother-in-laws only Marquis
of Lorne sent out to be their viceroy, dear
boy. II was great deal more that his
royal wife, the Princess Louise, should come
with him-enough, almost, to overwhelm
the Canadian people with an ecstacy of
loyal content. But now comes the stun
ming news that another royal swell of great
magnitude is to be added to the company
His Royal Highness the Duke of Edin-
burgh is to escort his sister and the per-
sonal representative of Her Majesty in the
Black Prince. Canada cannot complain
that she is overlooked in the general devel-
opment of the imperial policy.

South Carolina Politics.

We give notice to the South Carolina
democrats that stories are floating this way
of revival by them of attempts to bully,
browbeat and injure their republican oppo-
nents. They are said to be making it hot
for the republican speakers. If these re-
ports are false it would be we'll to have
them Immediately and authoritatively con-
tradicted. If they are true then we advise
Governor Hampton and such other sensible
democrats as he may be able to gather about
him to put stop to such lawless and out
rageous acts. The country is very well
satisfied with the Presidents Southern pol

The financial news from England and
Scotland seems to look darker and more
threatening from day to day. After the
stupendous collapse of the Bank of the City
of Glasgow the press of London tried at
first to make light Of the disaster by repre-
senting that its effects would probably be
confined to the unfortunate depositors and
shareholders of that institution and the
mercantile houses that had been dependent
on it. We dissented from that reassuring
view, and declared our belief that it was ct
least premature until sufficient time should
elapse for the full consequences of the
Glasgow failure to become apparent.
Events are proving that our distrust was
not without reason. No part of the British
press now makes any attempt to disguise
the critical nature Of the situation, and the
whole mercantile public in England and
Scotland is weighed down with anxiety. The
special cable dispatches which we have been
printing for the last three or four days
show that anxiety is deepening into gloom,
and although there is no absolute panic

tration of confidence in London and else
where.
The prevailing distrust is not SO much
caused by the recent heavy failures as by
the stagnant condition of British trade and
industry for the last four or FIVE years. The
great mining and manufacturing firms have
been making no profits and have been
merely struggling on in hope of better times.
Better times have not come and seem no
nearer now than at any time since the stag
nation began. The prospect has indeed
been growing constantly worse, because
England is losing her. best foreign market,
that of the United States. 1t is impossible
for establishments to go on forever maxi
ing losses instead Of gains. When
they cease to earn profits they begin to in
trench upon capital and are obliged to strain
their credit. The weak establishments
soon pass into such condition that they
are wholly dependent upon their bankers,
who grant constant extensions and renew
ais as lesser evil than precipitating heavy
debtors into bankruptcy. It is impossible
to know how large portion of the British
business establishments are in this shaky
condition, and hence the prevailing doubt
and uncertainty which hang over the fnan-
cial situation. The current failures are test
ing it, and nobody yet knows how well it
can stand the test. The raising of the Bank
of England rate for discounts to six per
cent is significant feature Of the situation,
as indicating a tight money market and o
determination to restrict accommodations.
A great many weak firms will probably sue
cumb The impressive warning afforded
by the failure Of the Glasgow bank will
arrest the tendency to grant extensions, and
although there are no symptoms of an abso-
Lutte panic everything forebodes period of
distress and gloom Of which nobody can
foresee the end. sua asa.s.. atss Is 80

has offered q nomination to Mr.. Cooper
because he is hard money man, per-
haps and another is said to favor Mr..
Schell.
Mr.. Kelly can overcome all his opponents
by taking the Tammany nomination him
self, and he ought to see that in this way he
can probably perpetuate his own power in
the city. If he insists on nominating some
body else, he not only runs serious risk of
being beaten, which would be unpleasant
to him, but he runs the further risk of q
mutiny in his camp even If he sue

tain, for instance, that Mr.. Angus
tus Schell, if he were Mayor. would DO
invariably Mr.. Kelly's obedient servant;
and if Mr.. Schell should some day kick out
OF the traces and set up for himself, this
would be disappointment to Mr.. Kelly.
Mr.. Shepherd Knapp has already prudcntly
refused to be Mr.. Kellys Mayor, though 1t
seems he is not unwilling TO be Mayor Of
New York.
If Mr.. Kelly should put himself at the
head of the Iammany ticket that would be
a defiance to his opponents which would
give q real interest to city politics. In
doing this Mr.. Kelly would appeal to the
