our government is at perfect liberty to re-
ject the Halifax award.
Another striking contrast is apparent on
a careful examination of the treaty. It is
expressly stipulated, in the strongest forms
of language, that the Geneva award and the
award of the Emperor of Germany shall be
final but there rs no such stipulation
respecting the Halifax award. AS to the
Geneva award:-"The high contracting par
ties hereby engage to consider the decision
of the Commissioners as absolutely final
and conclusive" Then as to the award of
the German Emperor:-'The award of His
Majesty, the Emperor of Germany, shall be
considered as absolutely final and conclu-
sive, and full effect shall be given to such
award without any objection, evasion or
delay whatsoever" It is truly remarkable
that the treaty has no language resembling.
this in connection with the Halifax Com
mission. We suppose the reason OF so
striking a difference to have been that
the hegotiators on both sides thought
it doubtful whether any compen-
sation for the fisheries would be.
awarded. Our own government put ltseiio Oh
record in the treaty as denying that any
compensation was due, and the. British
negotiators seem to have made merely
perfunctory concession 10 Canadian feeling.
The long delay of six years in getting the
Halifax Commission at work shows how little
importance either side attached to its work.
The very wording of that part of the treaty
which provided for an exchange of equiva-
lents in the fishing business proves that
the negotiators hardly thought of COM
pensation as possible. The period Of
time embraced in the stipulation is
indefinite, and yet the compensation,
if any, was to be gross sum-not so much
year during the continuance of the priv
ilege. The time was to be ten years and an
indefinite period thereafter, with q privilege
on each side of terminating the arrangement
after the expiration of ten years by giving
two years notice. There could be no math-
ematical or equitable relation between a
fixed lump sum and SO elastic q period,
which might extend to twelve years or
might extend to fifty. An examination of
the treaty shows that the British negotia-
tors had no real expectation of substan-

HomGopathicide.

Sixty homeopathic physicians, in session
as homeopathic society, have held kind
of coroner's inquest on the famons homa-
opathic dogma, ''Similia similiJus curantay," +"
and have solemnly voted that while they
have great personal and professional re-
spect for this dogma and shall ever regard
it as vital and vigorous, they are neverthe-
less of opinion that if any man wants to be-
lieve it is dead he may, and that he may
even bury it out of his sight and practise
medicine without regard to it; and that he
shall not be, therefore, denounced as a
miscreant, but that the homeopathic So
ciety will ''defend the invioable right of
every educated physician to make use of
any established principle in medical
science, or any therapeutical facts
founded on experiments and verified
by experience so far as in his in
dividual judgment they shall tend
to promote the welfare of those under his
care" BY this act homeopathy, in this
neighborhood, at least, dehomnopathizes it.

AIRY storm developed east of the Allegheny
Mountains is increasing, with heavy northeast
gales along the coasts of the Middle States. Our
special reports from the New Jersey shore state
that the northcastcr is exceptionally severe in
that region, causing "a turbulent sea and high

expect very ugly weather for one or two
days in the vicinity of New York. The gale

sharp lightning. The temperature has fallen

The Aldermen aud the Armory Job.

One of our City Fathers recently mourned
aloud that the New York Legislature had
no more respect for the opinion of our Board
of Aldermen than for the opinion Of so
many canal horses or dock rats, we forget
which. We did not doubt the City Father
at the time, and the vote of yesterday on
the question of defacing Washington
square with an armory building leaves
it no matter of wonder After listen
ing to speech from Mr.. Waehner,
which for Dogberry reasoning and prob
ably unconscious impudence will remain
unsurpassed until the next meeting of the
Board, the Aldermen voted by majority of
two to call on the Legislature to pass bill
under which the armory jobbers can be let
loose on one of the peoples parks. The
twelve votes in favor Of The nefarious scheme
were those of the Tammanv Aldermen; the
ten votes in opposition were cast by the re-
publicans and anti-Tammanyites. Since
this machine" majority of two is the best
that the Aldermen can show for their mas
the slim measure ofrespect at Albany which
vote by the City Fathers canal horses
or dock rats would receive. In the latter
case, indeed, they would be sure of
respectable support i'll the person
of Mr. Bergh. We never expected that
Tammany Alderman should possess
any knowledge of the laws of health or that
he should give any consideration to the
rights of the people when profitable job
was in sight, but it is little curious that
so much ignorance as Mr.. Waehner dis
played would be made the excuse on which
even the Tammany majority in the Board
would record their votes. In the face of the
declaration of the Board Of Health that
more space for public breathing was wanted
and not less, in face of the united declaration
of scientific men that this contemplated
confscation Of parks was blow at the
health of the metropolis, this City Hall
Solon had never ''heard it contended"
that the location of IN armory on Wash
ington square would prove prejudicial
to health. We hope he knows how

refresh himself yesterday with any paper
more lively than the City Record. But

ments, filthy streets, rotting garbage and no
ray of Gods sunlight or Ged's mir for the
poor Give them 'job," and neither de-
cency, public health nor the peoples rights
will weigh straw with them. A petition,
not from active dock rats, but from Coney
Island clans, would be entitled to more
consideration at Albany than this latest
emanation from our Aldermanic majority.

The republican majority in New Hamp-
shire has been reduced, but the returns re-
ceived up to the hour of going to press indi-
cate that the reduction has not been sufh-
cient TO defeat Governor Prescott. little
more than one-half the towns show re-
publican loss of 1,e15 votes from last year.
But Prescott's majority over Marcy was
then little over four thousand, and if the
same ratio of decrease should be kept up
there would still remain about one thousand
majority to overcome, and it is scarcely
probable that the scattering vote will be
sufficient to defeat choice by the people.
Last year the total vote for Governor was
n, 500, and as little more than half the
towns in the State give now total OF about
As, 500 it is probable that larger vote will
be polled this year than last. Whatever the
result may be it does not appear that Mr.

ton has been productive of any noteworthy
results. Measured by votes it may be said to
he worth about fifteen hundred votes out OF a
total Of eighty thousand, an indication that
it was scarcely worth the time and energy

OUR SILVER SUPPLY.
How Much silver Can be Coined by the
MINIS.
ISt. Louis Republican,

Prof Linderman, director Of the mint, gives
1t as his opinion that the mints are now able
to coin $5.0Oo,ooO o month, and II the New
Orleans mint were put in order 1t could turn
out 100000 a month more, making 81 900,
900 O. month, or $4s,0Oo,O0o q year. The first
year after the passage Of the Bland bill, he
thinks the yield Of our own mines would be
s35 100000 silver, and there would be $780,
900 received from Mexico, $5000,0o0 from
South America and s35,00o,o0O from Europe
making our total receipts Of silver for the
year S900o0,0oo. All this would be in the
shape Of bullion, but there is an act, passed in
1863, which authorizes the treasury TO receive
bullion, gold and silver bars, stamped by the
mint or assay office, and issue certificates in
exchange these certificates to be receivable
for duties. This would authorize the whole
s90,00o,0oo silver product and import to BIZ
brought into use as coin or bullion, and give
the country the full effect Of the bill at once.
