The answer of the Howard Association adds

Such an answer cuts short all CRITICISMS ami
We would have been surprised had the Howard
Association modified its system of beneyoence
to which 1t has adhered at all times. and which
has given 1t the high reputation for charity
which 1t enjoys.
The poor In distress, consequent upon the

dering from the principles of Justice that have
ever insured Its success 1t could not then have
any further claim to the confidence of charita-
BILE people: Its means of assistance would be
Immediately suppressed, and the Howard
providence would become u mere thing of the
past. We have already referred to the noble
and delicate feeling which has prompted it to
declare that 1t has received or been promised
enough funds to meet all forsseen demands.
The conduct of the Howard Association is
assurance for the present and guarantee for

| There is great deal yet to be said in praise
of the Democratic party of Massachusetts
The regular Democratic State convention In
Faneuil Hall turns out to have been decided
success 1t was by no means a rump, and
has demolished Ben Buffers hopes of Demo-
cratic support about as effectually as it he
had not committed the Woscester burglary.
The Faneuil Hall convention did not consist
merely Of the 800 and odd anti-Butler dele
gates who refused to participate In the Wor-
cester affair, but of some 1900 representatives
of the regular Democratic organizations
throughout the State. The places of the Butler
delegates were filled by new elections or APP
pointments, and the large number that par
ticipated Ia the convention goes to show that
the party is well organized throughout the
State and thoroughly aroused by the shame
less attempt of Butler at Worcester to bring
disgrace on the party by securing even it's
quasi-indorsement. This manifestation Of
resentment is extremely gratifying, and the
evidence is that it is widespread and deep In
the ranks Of the party. That Butler attached
great Importance to the Democratic nominal
tion is evident from the desperate game he
played to secure it. But we are delighted to
believe that he overdid the thing for once,
and his ambitious villainy o'er-leapt itself
and fell harmless on the other SIDE
The nominees Of the convention are Of the
very best. Judge Abbott was nominated
for Governor by reclamation, and this alone
Is sufficient evidence of his strength The
rest OF the ticket is said to be excellent It
will probably not be elected but it will beat
Ben Butler, and that Is o big consideration
with honest men

of the young actor Montague, who died re-
Gently In that city. According to her, at his
first appearance in London he was seen and

arranged, they exchanged vows, and parted
till the young actor should have earned a
competency which would enable him to pay
expenses without counting on the relenting
disposition of the young Iady's father.
The secret was kept until after Montagues
death, when gentleman from London hap

Goodby 80 Mr. Kearney.

Mr.. Kearney leaves us for his sunny
home on the sand lots Of San Francisco.
We bid him goodby with sincere thanks
for his coming East. He came to enlighten
us--and he did. He was heard, patiently,
good haturedly, curiously; and wherever
he spoke he settled the question on which
he addressed the people.
He decided it contrary to his desires, to
be sure but that also was his own doing.
Whatever merit may be in his cause he
ought to be convinced by this time that the
American voter is not to be persuaded by
oaths or by infammatory appeals, or
by shameless abuse Of opponents. Mr..
Kearney was fully and fairly reported
in the press which he was so fond OF viii
fying-and we must say that the press in
this way revenged itself upon him. That
he was heard and read Of oil men was his
ruin. That he spoke freely and was re-
ported fully was the ruin of his cause.
Whether he returns home either wiser or
better it is not possible to tell but he
leaves the East, having done good work
here in proving to oil classes Of our people
that there is nothing in Denis Kearney
nor in the movement of which he has made
himself the head, SO far as he is its true ex-
positor, which deserves the sympathy of
any decent or industrious American citizen.

in our neighboring State. When the real
hiding place seemed discovered, and visions
of great checks and professional jealousies
foated before the enraptured official eye,
the change of mind and consequent refusal
OF Burke to proceed any further in the
search or confession was little the most
brutal and heartrending outrage in the
whole history of crime. Something dread
full should be done to the wretch who is
guilty of all this cruelty, otherwise there is
no knowing how many of our police cap
tains may yet become subjects" for the
heartless public to exercise its sharp wits
upon; and between being dissected and

the principal cities of the Dominion for
meeting the Marquis and his consort on
their arrival are without precedent in the
case of any Governor General~ and if they
are not wholly unexampled in Canadian
life the sole exception is the series of ova-
tions given to the Prince Of Wales in 1860.
There is an eager and delighted stir Of
expectation in every part of the Dominion
through which the Governor General and his
suite will pass in their journey to the capi-
tai and as Canada is more wealthy, more
populous and more advanced in social ex-
perience than at the time 6f the Prince of
Wales visit, it is probable that that great
ovation will be equalled if not collapsed by
what will be done after the arrival of the
Sarmatian and the debarkation Of her illus
trious passengers. The people OF the States
will approve the joy although they may not
share the enthusiasm of their neighbors
beyond the frontier; they will assist Us
interested spectators, though not as par
Elephants. Whatever may be the weather
which the Sarmatian is encountering
during her voyage, we hope that the
genial atmosphere Of nm American Indian
summer may be found on her arrival, and
that a bright sun shining through the
soft haze of that delightful season will ena-
BILE the street parales and outdoor demon
strations to be seen to the best advantage.
The social and political effect OF installing
q royal princess in the government house
at Ottawa as the mistress and leader OF
Canadian society is tempting topic Of
speculation on which we must forbear to
enter at present.

Commerce In the Arctic Seas.

There is one hardy navigator who pursues
q laudable ambition TO explore the Arctic
regions in the way in which all the early
discoveries were made in other seas--by
commercial ventures. This is Captain
Virgins. In 1877 he made a voyage, re-
corded mt the time in the HERALD, to the
Kara Sea, the Gulf Of Obi and the mouth of
the Yenisei River, on the Arctic coast Of
Siberia. His report Of his experience there
and the inferences drawn were that
voyages could be made along that
coast in summer all the way from
the Northern Ocean to the Pacific, and that
they might be made commercially impor-
tant. An effort was made to interest the
British Admiralty in the subject and to in
duce the governm ent to defray the expense
OF an exploration that would ultimately, it
was held, develop great trade in wheat.
But the government would not undertake
il. In the last summer Captain Virgins
repeated his voyage, and carried cargo
from Liverpool to the mouth Of the Obi and
returned with another of the products Of
the country. He made III that Arctic bay
the singular discovery that o commerce
more or less irregular now actually exists
between the Siberian rivers aud Hamburg.

Life Insurance Litigation.

1t is a theory somewhat popular that in
every case in which life insurance company
outlives man whose life it has insured
persons to whom it is due on the contract
only after an excessively minute scrutiny Of
all the circumstances Of the case and after
solution satisfactory to itself Of all posi-
BILE doubts-first, as to whether the man is
dead next, as to whether he had ever de-
ceived the company in his life, and last. as
to whether he did not deceive the company
in his death by dying improperly and un-
justifably and without good and sufficient
illness. 1t is theory that is somewhat spite
full, and expresses rather an opinion founded
upon the observation Of frequent litigations
than knowledge founded upon the other
side Of the relations of these companies to the
people. In common regard for fair play it
must be remembered that the companies pay
a million quietly wherever they dispute q
thousand, though, of course, the case they
dispute makes more noise than those they
pay. Companies have learned, in fact, that
to dispute payments is very bad sort Of ad-
vertisement and Injuries business. Insur-
ance companies in this State paid on deaths
alone in the year 1876 twenty millions of dol
lars and very large sum in addi-
tion on endowment policies. Yet there
is apparently to be troublesome
dispute over the case Of Mr. Dwight, who
has just died at Binghamton. This gen
tleman had insured his life for upward Of a
quarter of . million dollars within three
months. He was forty-one years of age,
apparently hale and hearty. but had had
pulmonary hemorrhage; seemed to be some
what extravagantly addicted to sport, and
died suddenly. It appears improper on its
face for a gentleman to insure his life for
80 much money and die before the
payment Of the second premiums
due quarterly, and yet it may be
all right. Bat the insurance companies
allege that this gentleman insured his life
with the intention to destroy it and did
destroy it. They allege that he hastened
his death by poison, but that the main
cause Of death was exhaustion, purposely
induced through improper exertions for a
person not in robust health. One allega-
ton is that in bad weather he swan across
the Susquehanna River, near bingham
ton, four times in one day. This is case
that is likely to give some indication as to
what amount Of care a man is under obliga-
ton to his insurers to take of his life.
and the story will be one of general in
tereSt.
