Political Uncertainty.

1t is reported in our commercial news by
cable that the whole Continent Of Europe is
in tribulation over "glutted markets and
low prices" and the reason for all this
trouble with trade is believed to be 'snot
overproduction, but political uncertainty"
In Germany, France. Austria, Switzerland,
Belgium and Holland cotton industries are
not prosperous, and the only exception to
their bad condition is in Russia. Well,
there is political uncertainty enough in
any one of these countries, certainly, but at
what time for ten years past has there
been less? It is difficult to point out a
year within that period when it might not
have been cogently argued that for one
reason or another the government and po-
litical system of every one of them was at
the verge of grand collapse. But uncer-
tainty did not paralyze trade through all
those years. and why should it now? France
has not at any period in modern times
possessed a government SO firmly and
safely based in the consent of the nation as
the present republican organization and
though there is terrible murmuring in
Germany there is no uncertainty. If the
Hohenzollerns cannot govern through the
law they can and will with the army. The
reporter is in error. The cause of stagna-
ton is the great and indescribable poverty
of the people oppressed by the taxation
needful for the maintenance of the earned
peace"

Dfphth eria.

In Western Virginia they have strangely
extended epidemic of this dangerous NAL
ady For distance of forty miles on the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad il
is said there is scarcely house in which it
may not be found. II there be no exaggera-
ton in this report it is evident that there
is field in that district in which the
services of q sanitary police would be
of great public advantage. It is recog-
nized that an important part Of the func.
tion Of government in cities has relation to
the enforcement of sanitary service; but it
is not recognized, though it is true, that
this sort of service is even mere necessary
in the rural districts than in the cities. In
most cities water is supplied to the people
by machinery which delivers it pure
into their houses, and at its source
care is taken to provide against it's contami-
nation. Sewerage systems, moreover. carry
away in all large cities all substances that
might contaminate the air of houses and
streets. If these are not properly con-
structed the dangerous sewer gas proves, OF
course, great evil. But these two great
guarantees Of the health Of cities are not
possessed in the country, and all
care on these points is left to the
average ignorance, stupidity and in.
difference Of the country people. They
draw their water from streams which re.
ceive the sewage Of thousands Of farms, OF
from wells poisoned by the sewage of their
own places, and the notion of keeping their
houses or cellars or outdoor premises free
from even the vilest kinds Of filth does not
occur to them. They cultivate diseases like
diphtheria that are produced by emana-
tions from decaying organic matters.
Hence such ravages of disease as that re-
ported from Virginia.

A Filthy Omcial Report.

The United States has never known Q
more sensible and astonishing report than
that which the War Department received
from the West Point Board Of Visitors.
The Boards officers, consisting of a noted
political economist, soldier OF high rank and
college professor of national reputation,
bluntly inform the department and the
country that Congress does not desire
information from such sources, and
that "the mere nod or whim of a
secretary Of war or general-in-
chief has more influence than the
combined opinions of all the boards that
have ever been appointed" They there
fore suggest model for report, which
model is as sensible as it is sarcastic;
higher praise than this could hardly
be expressed All that the report
proper lacks of ideal completeness is a
recommendation that no visiting boards
shall be appointed hereafter, but that tho
Inspector General and his assistants shall
discharge the duties which have heretofore
devolved upon the "visitors." We commend
the Boards report to other boards, commits
sions, &C., whose only satisfaction for the
work they accomplish consists of the CON-
pensation they receive, and whose self.
respect is offended by the persistent neglect
of Congress to make any use Of the infor-
nation gathered at considerable expense in
time and money.

lists and Bonapartists will stand still fur
ther cut off from chance of mischief
in the Parliament, but it is not to
be expected of French political human
nature that the spirit of resistance will end
there. Nearly two years will remain before
the expiration Of MacMahon's term for the
evil elements to conspire in. Rendered
desperate by the fact that on JOINT
ballot they are already outnumbered
by hundred votes we may expect
to hear Of intrigues and conspiracies
for the regaining of the power they have
lost. In this it is not improbable that Of
forts will be made to make use OF the
extreme radicals. who have already
begun their war upon Gambetta, as
agents for disintegrating the republi-
can party or rendering it odious in
the sight Of the country. In this they will
tail. if the vigilance and prudence of the
republican leaders are still equal to the
emergency; but it is nevertheless true that
until the republican successor of MacMahon
takes his place the Bonapartists and royal
lists will not be muzzled forever.

why. Gentle Shepherd Tell Mo
Why.

''In a world where no two we'll informed
people think alike on any subject" says
the London Daily Telegraph, ''why should
the fact that Lord Salisbury and Secretary
Evarts are unable to take quite the same
view of this Newfoundland trouble create q
profound sensation - 1t is wicked world
and it is hard enough for people to agree
in it on any topic-but we hope the
Ddily Telegraph does not class the
differences on the case Of the fishery rights
with differences on such abstruse topics as
tho Interpretation of the cuneiform in
scriptions. It is not case of that nature |:
it is not case in which, between we'll in
formed men, honest differences of opinion
are possible, and it is precisely because it
is case of this character and that despite
this differences have yet arisen that the
case has attracted peculiar attention on this
side the Atlantic. An honest or rational
difference in points Of Interpretation does
not excite us more than il does our
cousins on the other side, but a
difference that is either dishonest or
that must be the result of an ignornnce
which seems to MS incredible is of another
nature and may excite anybody. BY a
treaty with England we obtained certain
rights in waters within her dominions
England now tells us that those rights are
subject to limitations Of which not one
word is said in the treaty. That is not an
abstruse issue which results from disposi-
tion to chop logic on either side. II puts
our rights on precarious ground, where
we cannot for moment assent that they
should stand. 1t denies that the treaty
has any validity in the part that might
prove beneficial to MS, and it naturally
startlcs us for the English government to
take position that implies denial of our
rights when it seems to us impossible that
this can be merely the result of ignorance.

Tho city Assembly Nomin. lions.

The New York members of Assembly are
not as rule as intelligent and responsible
as the representatives Of the leading city Of
the Union in it's State Legislature ought to
be. The district politicians who control
the nominations in both parties gen.
orally manage to secure the prize for
themselves or their associates, and
the consequence has been that the
New York city delegation has not for
many years borne an enviable reputation
at Albany. In looking through the list Of
nominees this year we fail to find any
marked improvement over former years.
Dr. Isaac I. Hayes is again a candidate in
his district, and is certain of reelection.
He is in every respect desirable representa-
tive and it would be we'll for the city if it's
remaining twenty members were equally
intelligent, Industrious and honest. Mr..
w. w. Astor declines denomination, which
is to be regretted. 1t is very desirable that
gentlemen Of wealth and culture, who have
large personal interest in the progress
and welfare Of the city, should have voice
in framing the laws Of the State. 1t is untor-
citizens are to be found on the party tick
cts. The nominees are respectable and in
some instances possess a certain sort Of
political brightness which may pass for
ability in such o body as the Assembly Of
the State But rs whole the delegation is
not on either side what it ought to be.
Mr.. Madigan and Colonel Murphy are
the Tammany and opposition candidates
in the First district and Mr.. T. F. Grady
and Mr.. Buckley in the Second. Among
the best known of the Tammany nominees
are John Calvin, in the Fourth district; j.
X. Perley, in the Seventh; J. w. Browning,
who made good representative last year,
in the Ninth; Mr.. Hallahan, IN old men,
Der, in the Twelfth Mr.. E. P. Hogan, in the
Sixteenth; Mr.. L. G. Dessar. in the
Seventeenth; Mr.. J. B. Mcdonald,
H. Stewart and Alexander Thain, in
the Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty
first Among the republican nominees are
Isaac /. Hayes, in the Seventh district;
Mr.. George b. Deane, in the Ninth; Mr.. r.
H. Strahan, the bitter opponent of rapid
transit, in the Thirteenth; Mr.. s. N. Simon
son, in the Seventeenth, and Mr. w. A.
Alderman, in the Nineteenth. There
is but little choice between the opposing
candidates in point of character, but the
people of New York will probably
remember that republican representatives
at Albany have denied them a constitu-
tional apportionment law and just and
effective excise law. AS the Assembly will,
under the present fraudulent apportion-
ment. be largely republican, the United
States Senatorial issue is not likely to be
affected by the result of the election in the

All Cock Sure.

1t is very difficult just now to find a can
didate who is not cock sure of heading the
poll at the close Of the struggle OF next
Tuesday. The old fellow who some centu-
ries since sat growing in his tub all day
and went out O. nights with lantern seek
ing for an honest man may have been long
disappointed, but was not altogether dis
couraged. A HERALD reporter is not neces-
sarily Dogenes, although his experience
of men and things tends to make him Gym
ical but when he, or number of
him, makes the rounds of the candidates
on the eve of election, looking for one who
is not enthusiastically certain Of success,
In the ordinary run of events fifty per
cent Of these cock sure candidates might
be expected to prove mistaken, and at this
moment we see no reason to believe that a
miracle will be worked next Tuesday.
Nothing short Of n miracle, we may add,
convicted of conspicuous inexactness' as
prophets. We know that it is not considered
part of fshmongers business to proclaim
the length of time that his hnny commodi-
ties have been out of the water, but any one
with a good nose can decide if they have
lain on the stall as long as Lazarus before
his resurrection. 1t has struck us, there
fore. that this confidence OF the candidates
may be traced to the belief that to pre-
announce their failure would, by many, be
taken as sign they were not fit to be
elected. There is so much possible trnth
