"TLc National Grcenback Labor Party" is an i'm
possible name. There is 100 much Of it. True, 1t is
in one sense descriptive; the concern is for inta-
ton first and labor afterwards. The financial her

Unions But now can the average edItorOr speaker.
friend or foe De expected 20 waste his life IN repeat
ing many times daily this lye-story title! Abbre-
viations are possible. but not quite fit. The
Nationals" implies deception, for the party is not
national in area of existence or in objects. The
Communists" describes only the end toward which
the majority Of adhereuts are blndly led rather
than the present drift of conscious purpose. The
~ q. l.. Party would do for print, but would prove
very Troublesome in speech. Besides, the distin-
gushing characteristic Of this concern Is that,
whereas other parties have tried to dodge this party
means TO do But the fya-story name, vague,
mushv and mixed, would indicate that the members
intended only to talk. 1t smacks of the annual
lovcfcass which get together believers in all sorts
of issues and oogcs to air each his separate craze
and to blow of unlimited gas This is unjust to the
people who call themselves the National Greenback
Labor Party, for they have very definite and prac-
teal aims. They want to get the capital of other
people or the use of that capital, without paying
what il is,wOrth. They want to pay debts with
money that has no value. Wherein do they differ
from the tramps who want to get living without
workingl Ii really descriptive name, short, con-
venIent tcrse and fit, is wanted for the Pennsyl-
vania National Grccnback Labor Party, why not call
them the Pennsylvania rramps."

Ii will be fortunate if the burning Of
tbe Allan Line steamer Sandman mt
the entrance of LOugh FOyle has not
been attended with great loss of life.
The latest adyices report that the
vessel was on fire amidshlps, and that half
of the watch in the forecastle, and a num-
Der of steerage passengers in the fore part
of the vessel were cut off from all help.
The situation thus pictured is deplorable. and
is only relieved by the fact that the Sardin-
ian is almost in port, and at point
where lighters and small craft abound.
Had the fire occurred few hours sooner,
when she was on her way from Liver
pool, it is probable that few of her AGO
passengers could have escaped. The fire
is attributed in the first place to the
explosion of generated gas, but it may
need the closest scrutiny to discover
whether the fire originated with some
explosive substance in the cargo, or was
caused by the bursting of a boiler, such
as caused so much destruction on the steamer
Westfield. Occurring SO early insthe season,

Mr.. Hcwitt's army blll of which full alb
stIact is given in our Washington dispatches,
is evidently a vast improvement on the re-
morseess schemes Of the revolutionary Ban
ming. While there may bc points at which 1t
will be fairly open to criticism, it seems to
have been framed with an honest purpose to
cut off useless expenditures without impairing
the actual strength of the army. 1t will
be noticed, by the way, that Mr.. Hewitt
proposes most heartlcss policy with respect
to the military titles that are dearest to the
American heart. The number of Major-Gcn-
erals is to be allowed to diminish until there
is but one, and there it is to stay. in like
manner the number of Brigadiers il to be
reduced to three. This wouldn't furnish han
dies enough for a county committee, and there
could be no adequate supply OF vice-prcsi-
dents for meetings, If it were not Tor ouJ
glorious militia.

In passing the bill for the repeal of the
Bankrupt Law, and amending it so as to
take effect on September l, the Senate seems
to have sought a middle course. AT first that
body favored immediate repeal. Then that
was thought too hasty. and next January
was proposed as the time for il to take effect.
Protests from all over the country against
such postponement have come to the ears ol
Senators, ana they now offer compromise
1t remains to be seen whether the House will
accept the amendment. Certain 1t Is that
almost every argument against po:tponement
to January, applies to the amended form OF
repeal, except that it is less injurious to keep
busiDess interests disturbed during four than
eight months. The effect if the bill becomes a law
will probably lie to keep up the long lists OF
failures through the Summer. The best that
can be said of it is that it might have been
worse.

The inconsistencies In Mr.. Fernando Woods Tariff
bill cannot be remembered too well, nor enforced
upon the public mind too often. But when that
sound ariiiman, Judge Kolley(-we are always glad
to find something to praise ina man. compares Mr..
Wood to the Frankensteln of Mrs. Mary Wollstone-
craft Sheley's powerful novel, he does our handsome
New-York Congressman an injustice against which we
must protest. In making this comparison during his
speech in the House on Thursday, he said that Fran
kensten "created monster of which he was igno-
rant and which he knew not how to control" Mr..
Kelley if not for the sake of wise tariff, then at
least for literatures sake should remember that it
was not Fraukensten who created the monster, as
Frankenstein was the monster himself; the creator
was a physiological student who worked alone
among grayeyards and in his dissecting-room.
Walter Scott said of this novel that it contained pas
sages which "appall the mind and make the fesh

The Russian Government disOwns any knoWl-
edge of the scheme which Count Schouvaloh
is about to PROFOUND when he arrives at 81
Petersburg. This is credible, inasmuch as the
Count would not have left his post at London
ONLY that he had information to communicate
which if was necessary for him TO eN-
plain verbally. The question OF " guarantees
which England has already raised has dan
gerons look, and may rctard further negotla-
tions. If Lord Beaconsfield persists in acting

cannot expect to gain much success by his

as the advanced Ritualistic element OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and the author
of phrase winch years ago startled our re-
Hgious thinkers. this fresh expression OF

tention cannot pass unnOtced. The preacher
who then declared Professionalism failure
adheres to his text and to his former eXpo'i-

Within very few years the science Of
ethuology has had large increase III the
number Of its votaIies. The methods, manners
and beliefs Of uncivilized or extinct races have
become matters OF more general interest than
ever before. The Smithsonian Institution led
the way in this country, in collecting speci-
mems Illustrative of this line Of research. The
late Mr. Peabody founded, as an addition 10
Harvard University, an archaeological museum,
which has already given a fresh impetus TO
the study. And now the trustees OF the
American Museum of Natural History, rccOg-
nizing the set of the popular current have
made the implements, ornaments and weapons
of uncivllzed man a special feature OF eXhlhl-
ton. On another page brief account is given
of the novelties accumulated at the Museum
duIing the past season, and it will be seen
that while primitive man. extinct or cotcmpO-
rary, has had the largest share of attention,
the lower animals have not been neglected.

very near his face, but the quarrel was here
wisely interrupted. In the Canada House of
Commons, there was a scene calculated to bring
n blush to the cheek of the highly sensitive
British press. Sir John A. Macdonald made
some scandalous charges of corruption against
a fellow-membcr, and the eDithets of " liar
and coward were exchanged with the ut
most generosity. The honorable members did
not, however, come to blows. This is pain
ful record to make of Sir John Macdonald.
In his sojoum i'll Washington as member of
the Joint High Commission, he might have
developed himself into the pink of legislative
propriety by close and devout contemplation
of the American Congress.

SAM rILDEN's SCHEME.

If Mr.. Tilden only had q few more friends
he would be a5subject for, the most earnest
confederation. A New York, c%orrespon-
dent of q Sunday newspaper at Washington
has made a small stir by reporting Q con-
versation bad with one Of the mythical be-
ings known as Tilden's friends.
The letter says that Uncle Sammy is now
fourishing in the retirement of G-amercy
PARK, and has a definite programme already
prepared. First, Tilden is to be elected to
the United States senate in place of Conk-
ling. When Tilden is seated in the senate
be will make himself SO active IN bowling
fraud that he will always be the most pro-
minent object in the public eye, and as q
consequence would be always available as q
presidential candidate. Mr.. Marbles letter
was for the purpose of putting q knife into
Senator Thurman. The details of the rest
Of this charming plan are thus given !: "Til.
den has three trusty men, much better than
who spent his barrel of money in the last
presidential campaign. He knows his men
now, and the Tilden movement for the con-
vention Of 1879 is organized beautifully, and
has all the money on the democratic side.
You see there are a number of rbondholders
among the democrats who are watching this
matter closely. They would be satisfied
with either Tilden or Bayard, because both
are sound on the money question but when
you mention any western mans name in
connection with the presidency, they scare
at once. They tremble at the name of Thur.
man because he Is q soft-money man, and
they want New York and San Francisco to
do the exchange of the east, instead of for
cling an Asiatic to 60 around the world tc
make his exchanges in London, as be hat
usually done and would continue to do 4
our currency was expanded.
To have plans, and to have them talked
about, is n way Of keeping ones presiden
tial aspirations warm.

MEXICAN TROUBLES.

Washington, August sl4,-A state
ment was widely circulated last night to the
effect that affairs between the United States
and Mexico had reached a crisis, and that
General Sherman's trip to the west was
really q cover Of an, official visit to the forces
along the Mexican frontier, and that upon
his arrival there such vigorous measures
would be taken as would doubtless lead to
war. There is the authority of a cabinet
officer for the statement that nothing what
ever has occurred of late to put any new
phase upon the relations between this gov
eminent and Mexico T; that no one here
desires war, and that all have.in view a sel-
Element Of the pending questions by
thoroughly peaceful means.
