England'S Distress.

England has entered upon a period of dis
tress the end of which no man can foresee.
There is every indication that it will result in
serious If not permanent loss, in widespread
suffering, and in radical change in the man
ufacturing industries and other great forms
OF employment of labor upon which so many
Englishmen depend for subsistence. The
falling off in her trade is something more
Than transitory. She has in fact ceased to be
the workshop of the world. Doubtless part
of the falling off in the demand for the pro-
ducts of her industry is due to the poverty of
her customers, but the greater part must be
ascribed to the fact that they have learned 10
supply their own wants. Their poverty NAV
decrease, in many instances is decreasing,
and they may grow rich again. If the shrink
age in her trade were attributable solely to
their lack of means she could reasonably ex-
pect decided improvement within limited
time. But they no longer have need of her
goods. This country, :or example, will never
again be dependent upon the manufactures
of England as it has been in the past. We
have already learned to make most articles
we need, we have accumulated much capital.
we have all the advantages for industrial
manufactures that she has, and some that she
has Dot. We can certainly hold our own,
and have every reason to believe that we
shall better ourselves. Other nations, former
customers of Great Britain, are similarly situ-
ated.
Nor can England easily fiud new occupa-
tions. Her laborers have been trained In
special fields, and know not how to work in
others. Even if they could readily adapt
themselves to changed conditions the new in
dustries are not to be found. The country
Is already crowded with people, and it has no
undeveloped resources. There is little un-
occupied land that can be turned to profita-
bic use and the Inhabitants are dependent
upon foreign nations for much of the food
they consume. 1t is not the laborer alone
who will suffer. The capit list will be re-
duced to ruin; for much capital will be
"dead", sunk.in enterprises that no longer
paw and must be abandoned. England has
great accumulated wealth it is true, but
considerable portion of that wealth is in
vested in manufacturing enterprises that will
hereafter yield no profit, and most of it is
very unevenly distributed. The few are
wealthy, the many live from hard to mouth.
There must be, too it seems, a gradual draining
of accumulated capital. The country can no
longer exchange its products for the things It
needs from other lands, and so must pay for
them out of its savings. The outlook is GER
tainly gloomy for England, and we cannot
but pity her in her sad strait.

while he prepared the short message which
he delivered to the Assembly OIL taking the

HERE Is a pleasant note from the Vicks-
burg, Mississippi, Herald: "Since we have
read the list of donations sent by Northern
people to Vicksburg to relieve the distress
caused by the yellow fever, we have firmly
determined never to call Northern man
ugly names again. We now call Mr.. Blaine
a citizen of Maine, Brother Blaine, and we
never intend to call Mr.. Butler of Massachu-
setts that old Beast, that old Spoon-thief
again. We intend to refer to the New York
Times, the Chicago Inter- Ocean and other
bloody-shirt organs, as our wayward cotem-
poraries, and, when Mr.. Wendell Phillips tells
a real big one about the South, we design to
remark that he is indulging in little thought
less, but to him, agreeable prevarication.
We are worse licked now than we were when
Lee surrendered"

much comment and some apprehension for
the coming season. 1t is known that the
flats south OF the White House are in a con-

hundred acres of the marsh are thickly COW

yet the appropriation committee have taken
no steps to carry out the recommendations of

filled. If they are not cleared in some way

conditions would be very favorable for yell
low fever gaining foothold there ii a single
case should be brought in from any quarter.

Man and the ScOurge.

A New York clergyman has dis covered that God is behind the scourge-alluding to the yellow fever pestilence. This imputing to Di- vine Providence the neglect of sani- tary regulations Is preposterous. The Creator leaves mankind something to do for itself. If His creatures neglect their plainest duties to them selves, God does not reverse His laws, the laws of nature, to succor them if afflicted. It is beyond hu- man intelligence to divine God 8 will, and it is human presumption to undertake to interpret 1t. It Is not fair to lay at His doors the re- suits of the faults and negligence of common sanitary measures to pre-. vent the spread of contagion. That the plague is permitted is theolog- ical question that we do not propose to tackle. But, one feature of the lamentable visitation brings out the grand humanitarian impulses of a nation. There are no lines of lati- tude; no party affiliations; no differ ence of opinion, that stand athwart the calls for charity, and no theolog- ical doctor should presume to charge God with afllicting one section of a country for "a merclful purpose" for the reason of man does not compre- bend the deserving of such an in- iliction.

The best illustration we have seen of the portability, non contagion and harmlessness of the yellow fever virus in attitudes and attitudes not adapted to its spread, is that of Prof. Lunsford r. Yandell, of Louisville, Ky. He says:
 "Yelloy fever cannot spread in Louisville. An undeveloped case of yellow fever--that is person having the germs of the disease, may be brought here and develop, cfiloresce, break out, just as an undeveloped flower may be brought here and efiloresce or bloom. Oranges and bauanas imported to Louisville green will ripen, but they cannot be produced or propagated here, and this is equally true of yellow fever.
 "The citizens of Louisville are positively in more peril from the lions and tigers, and boa.constrict- ors and anacondas which come here in the menaneries than they are from the yellew fever from refugees from the south. The bars of the cages of these wild beasts are not so safe protection to us as are the laws of nature governing disease. Really I'd as soon attend case of yellow fever here as case of simple aguc, and I'd as soon take case of yellow fever into my home here, as would case of common ehills."
