WICK, than the installation at Ottawa
OF member OF the dynasty To this
day the denizens OF Halifax are said
to point with touch OF local pride
and something like affection TO tho house
once occupied by the grandfather OF the now
Lady Of Canada. Such being the attcstcd
effect on the colonial temper of the prece-
dent set more than half century ago by
the appointment OF the Duke of KENT to be
Governor Of Nova Scotia, 1t would seem to
be stroke Of policy To expand the scope OF
the experiment from province to the whole
confederation.
But why should the Queens Government
show at this time n special anxiety to
quicken the fervorof Canadian loyalty Be-
cause ii is admitted on all hands that tho
existing adjustment of imperial and colonial
concerns Is essentially provisional and tenn
porary; that the process OF disintegration,
unless arrested by measures looking toward
moro intimate community Of aims and in
terests. must lead to n breakup of the Brit
ish Colonial Empire. All sides of the
problem have lately been discussed by Sir
julius VoGEL, Mr.. FRoUDE, Lord BLAcH-
FORD, Sir FRANCIS IlrNcKs, and Others and
IL is plain that English Liberals survey the
prospect of dlslocation with considerable
Indifference. On the other hand. u scheme OF
offensive and defensive alliance, which
should equally distribute the cost of rocipro-
cal protection, and dcvolvc upon tho colo
nlsts a share in determining and supporting
the foreign policy Of the Government. finds
favor with good many Conservatives
Earl BEAcoSsrIELD has not said that such
a scheme was practicable, but he
intimatcd not long ago that the
efforts OF patriotic statesmen ought
TO take that direction. To those who know
the Canadians, it is questionable whether
their loyalty will ever again be demon
strated at the expense Of their pockets But
the presence Of the Princess LOUISE will at
least put them in u good humor. Then no
doubt, 1t will be ms good a time ne any to
probe the genuinencss Of their professions.

to accept the smallest share o! imperial
burdens and responsibilities, or 10 change

istration knows that he holds his place by n
deliberate cheat; that he Is an intruder,
and that the public patronage and Offices
have been distributed among an Infamous
set of wrctches, as payment for the crimes
they pcrpctratcd in Louisiana and Florida.
HAYES knew all about the conspiracy from
the beginning, after the first false dcclara-
tion of ZACH CHANDLER. SHERMAN organ
lied it with cold calculation for his own
profit. EvARrs advocated it, knowing the
certificates from Louisiana were Illegal,
partially forged, and bearing false dates.

The Health OF the Summer.

Though in July we had weather OF n kind
90 breed and aGgravate those summer maa-
dies which always greatly swell tho city's
death rate Mt this season. the mortality Of
tho month was below that of July Of last
year by 10 deaths. This decrease occurred,
too, in spite Of a temperature which aver
aged over seven degrees higher than that of
the same month last year.
Notwithstanding the Health Boards plan
Of employing corps Of physicians in tho
special duty OF looking after the livcs OF the
children in the pestIcrous parts Of the city,
there were no less than BOG deaths of chill
dren under five years Of age IN the tenement
houses alone during July. Inasmuch as the
greater part Of this mortality was prcventa-
BILE. having been due to causes which can be
removed or rendered far less fatal, there is
still great work to be done in the way Of
sanitary regulations and precautions For
instance. at the meeting OF the Board ~
Health on Tuesday an Inspector re-
ported that the lack of sewer in
Elghty-second street. from Avenue to
Avenue d, makes the whole ncighbor-
hood the prey Of miasmatic diseases.
The refuse water in the street. owing TO
pool, and spreads its poison among the
unfortunate inhabitants Of the vicinity.
Another inspector called attention to the
offensive fertilizer works at NcwtOwn creek,
which send noxous clluyia across to our
island and one needs only TO take walk
through the cast side Of the city 10 find
many streets in condition which involves
disease and death to the multitudes crowded
in the tenements lining them.
II ia gratifying, however. 10 bc able to re
port that the city Is still saved from the
ravages Of epidemics. the diseases which
swell the death rate being almost entirely
those that are ordinarily allowed TO prevail
in summer. Smallpox for two years past
has been scarcely known in New York, and
the yellow fever which Is now causing so
much alarm in some Of the Gulf States has
not appeared in our vicinity except in tho
cases OF lew sailors on board n United
States naval vessel, the Vermont. at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. In those cases the
fever originated from the throwing of the
ballast Of bark just arrived from Havana
on n wharf by which the Vermont lay, and
such precautions were taken after the dis
ease developed itself that its spread was
promptly checked. There is, indeed, no
reason to fear that the yellow jack will
seriously disturb us at New York this
season.

One conspicuous instance OF self-stutlnca-

for the Burchard resolution and for tho MAORI

the Democrats OF the city OF Detroit, who gave

Employ the hours Of night,
And issue softly from hi. house.

How skilfully he feels his way
As he explores the land
And leaves ms shmy tracks upon
The moist and yielding sand
But when the morning brightly breaks,

Right speedily is found
The passcrby would never guess
That thence the snail had moved,
Unless the tracks upon the sand
His nightly Journeys proved.
Thus Hayes, who mcokly represents
A most gigantic fraud.
Steals softly from the White House door
And turns his steps abroad
In silence. such rs that OF night,
The lonely man forth fares.

There's no one knows or cares.

The Nationais-Th Source Of Their
Strength.

The stir for the organization Of a now
political party has logical explanation.
There is widespread dissatisfaction with
both the old parties. Tho stronger term.
disgust, would, perhaps, express this feel
ing more accurately.
GRANT surrounded himself with knavcs
and plundercrs, and was wilfully and per-
sistcntly blind to their faults. His best
friends do not attempt to deny this, it is SO
VIGOROUSLY true. Then he attempted, in
disregard Of the traditions of the country,
TO run for n third term. But little that was
good could tr said of either his acts on his
Intentions. One of his right-hand men,
JOIN SHERMAN, compares the history of his
administration in Louisiana to the history
OF hell. No wonder there was feeling of
disgust toward GRANT.
Then HAYES Is in all respects contempti-
BILE. He is an interloper, who obtained his
Office by a cheat, and Is at once n hypocritc
and a Ounce. Who can respect him or feel
like belonging to his party;
The Democrats were doing very well until
they laid down the doctrine that fraud con-
summated became sacred. Who with any
manhood in his veins could sympathize with
such an odious and absurd doctrine
No wonder, then, that there is a genera
feeling OF discomfort.
The Nationals have not yet very we'll de-
fined principles. But the VERY fact that
such a movement can be ser on foot without
any more specific plan is, in itself, a con-
vincing proof OF tie extent to which dissat-
isfaction pervades the ranks of the old
parties. -
