place distasteful to him, place Of hardship
and responsibilities, and should be filled by O
younger man. The Sherman organs have
seized upon this utterance as q positive de-
cllnation to permit the use of his name, and
are using 1t to advance the pretensons OF
their chief. The language will bear different
Interpretation. Grant has no idea OF nomi-
mating himself. His role Is to appear anxious
to retire to private life and to have the nomi-
nation forced upon him while affecting to OBJ
ject to 1t. He could stop all the talk about a
third term by q positive word, and that word
he refuses to utter. Evidently the Sherman
men are premature. The fact that they show
SO much anxiety to have it understood that
Grant is out OF the race Is proof of his strength
and their fear Of him. At the proper time all
the "old mans" friends may be expected to
rally around his confalon. The interview at
Tientsin will not check the BOOM

The New York Times calls attention to tie
rise and fall Of cigarette smoking in the
North. Some year or SO ago the young men
of that section adopted the Louisiana habit
Of smoking cigarettes instead of cigars. In a
short time it was all the rage. Everybody
smoked cigarettes. thousand new brands
appeared in the market and half the business
OF the tobacconists OF the country was con-
fined to these little luxuries. Not satisfied,
however, with their legitimate percentage,
the manufacturers of cigarettes attempted to
increase it by using poor tobacco. This
promptly killed the goose with the golden
egg. Within the last six months a sudden
prejudice against cigarettes has appeared In
New York, and the habit OF smoking them
promises to disappear as suddenly as it

England now has her eye upon Tangiers, on

Spanish government recently threatened to
seize the place and fortify 1t, and thus control
the straits from the African side since they
could not do so from their own shores The
bare suggestion Of any other power controll-
ing the entrance to the Mediterranean was
sufficient for the English, and they have be-
gun shipping some enormous Armstrong
guns to the Moorish town, to be placed in
new batteries to be erected there. For the
present the place belongs to the Moors, but
any foreign power who attempted to seize it
would find the new batteries, in all probabili-

fortress on the opposite side of the straits

OUR Il, CITY.

With this lovely weather and an entire ex-
emption from an epidemic or other st1liction,
our city may now be regarded rs having put
on her holiday attire Though still pinched
by poverty and somewhat depressed by q
lack Of business and employment, our people
wear a cheerful and hopeful air, and even
warm into enthusiasm at the bright prospects
Of tho future. A sorrowful experience has
hardened them into preparation for more
economical mode Of life, and their energies,
refiy shed by long rest, will be fnvigorateh
TO z. degree which will enable them to respond
promptly and zealously to the demands upon
their faculties and energies In the new era Of
revival Of business and enterprise which will
open with the early frost.
Rarely has thore ever been In our history
so pleasant summer. With skies SO bright
and clear, TN atmosphere SO balmy and
health-givlng with social and political
condition so peaceful, contented and hopeful,
our good city may favorably compare. in all
the essentials Of q happy community with
any other In the world. Our absent friends
have little reason to defer their return to
their old homes. They will be welcomed by
as robust specimens of health, and as joyous
spirits, as they will bring with them from the
expensive Northern resorts =5.-@

The population Of these islands, which was
100000 u century ago, has steadily decreased
under the influence Of civilization and small
pox, until It Is now barely one tenth this
number. 1t was houed that at some time the
lowest limit would be reached and the popula-
tion begin to spring forward again. But that
time evidently has not yet come. The native
population of the island Is now only 44,0S8,
diminution of 5000 since 1872. At this rate
not Kanaka will be left In fifty years, and
this unhappy people, too weak for civll1za-
ton. will have completely disappeared from
the face of the earth. The population OF these
islands, however, Is steadily increasing,
thanks to white and Chinese immigration.
Nearly one-thrd OF their present population
belong to the Caucasian and MongolInn races.

Kansas Is not suitable to their race, the sys-

delegates were selected by mass meetings,

The Republicans of Brooklyn find that they
have committed blunder. Taking advantage
OF the illness Of the mayor, who is Demo-
crat, the Republican majority of the city
council, with the Republican president of that
body, determined to run the city to suit them
selves. They proceeded with this scheme by
attempting to reorganize the department of
city works and turning out every Democratic
official in the department. The mayor was
able to get up from his sick bed and put veto
upon this proceeding. The Democratic mem
bers OF the council then demanded the re-
moval of every employee of the city govern
ment who was not Democrat. This has been
done. and the Republicans now mourn their
folly.

will follow the example of his old friend Simon
