TII,DEN AND BLAINE.

The Republican leaders OF New York
seem to be laboring intelligently and
effectively for the nomination OF SAMUEL
]. TIpEx, by the Democracy, for Presi-
dent next year. They have set up
ticket so VIGOROUSLY offensive to the bet
ter class of their own party, 80 repulsive
to the independent voter-a ticket
which not only smells OF the machine"
in politics, but is the machine" itself
that there seems TO be no reasonable
ground for a hope OF its election. Wheth-
er so intended or not, the Saratoga Con-
yention was clearly run in the interest
of Mr.. TILDEN, and if that adroit politi-
clan had been the direct manager OF 1t
he could not have manipulated 1t to
better advantage for himself.
Gov. ROBINSON will now be nominated
by the Democrats over feeble protest
of men not all of whose skirts are as
white as the driven snow, and he Will
be elected by majority which will
startle the nerves of the timid anti
TLDENIrEs. That will give Mr.. TILDEN 5
grip upon the party-already pretty
firm and solid-an additional sOhdlty.
But 10 add 10 his chances for nOmlna-
ton. Mr.. BLAINE,-with his wonderful
energy, organizing ability, personal mag
netism and pluck-actually threatens to
carry Maine over the combined cohorts
of the Democracy and Greenbackers,
thus lifting the party in his State clear
out of the boys and quicksands, and
placing it upon solidground again. We
saw Mr.. BLAINE threatens to do this
for if there is Republican victory in
Maine, it will be the direct work OF that
gentleman.
On the high tide of victory in Maine,
Mr.. BLAINE and his cohorts would
ride down on Ohio in triumph,
and the standard of the white
plumed statesman" would be seen
to waive over the fields where SHERMAN ;
banner so recently went down in dis
grace.
With a clear Republican majority in
Maine, Fosters election in Ohio is sub
stantially assured. With those two
States cemented by good majOrities to
the Republican column, BLArNE's nom
ination for the Presidency by the Re-
pubhcans next year, will follow.
In this event, the people OF the coun-
try will be called upon to select between
the two men named, TLDEN and
BLAINE, in 1880.
But ii BLAINE shall fail in Maine, Ohio
will 90 Democratic; and then it don't
follow that either TILDEN or BLAINE
will inevitably be selected by their re-
spective parties to bear the banner in
the next campaign.

missioner, is well known along the line
of the b. x o. r. R., and will in some re-

The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1879-08-26

The Canadian bank panic may possibly
have a tendency to teach the Canucks how
good a thing it is to be artificially bound by
commercial and political ties to a people with
whom they have naturally no interests in
common. England is just now experiencing
a season of extraordinary stringency and
commercial depression. In sympathy with
this state of things, the Montreal banks have
been tumbling, while directly south of the
boundary, across an imaginary line, a people
possessing no greater natural resources of
wealth than the Canadians, are steadily adj
vancing OIL the road to prosperity. All be-
cause they have no foreign alliance to hang as
a dead weight and check to their progress.

An Eastern medical man attributes to oul
inordinate consumption of ice water the fatal
prevalence in the United States of Bright's
disease of the kidneys. In European coun-
tries where iced drinks are not used this NAL
ady, he says, is almost unknown; and in
America, twenty-five years ago, when ice was
much less an article of every day consump-
ton than it is at present, statistics and medi-
cal reports prove that the cases of Bright's
disease then observed bore a very much small
than they do to-day.

The immensely Of London.

OF all the great cities, London, on the
whole, contains the most to interest and in
strnct Americans. 1t has doubled in popu-
la:ion in the memory of men still young.
Most readers remember when McCauley's
history appeared. In his first volume the au-
thor contrasted the grandeur of the modern
city with the London of Charles H., and
boasted that the number of inhabitants had
increased from a little more than five thou
sand to at least one million nine hundred
thousand. In the brief time that has passed
since McCauley wrote, the one million nine
hundred thousand has become four million.
A few contrasts taken from the best esti-
mates Will give some suggestions of the i'm
mense magnitude of the city. 1t is aptly des-
cribed as a province covered with houses.
New York is equal III population to the aggre-
gate of Maine and New Hampshire. London
equals Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
and California all together. To equal the
city OF London here we should have to bring
together the people of the following cities :
New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, st. Louis,
Chicago, Boston, Baltimore Cincinnati, New
Orleans, Buffalo, San Francisco, Washington,
and Louisville. The transient people in New
York are about thirty thousand; in London
one hundred and sixty thousand. In New
York a baby is born every fifteen minutes and
a death occurs every seventeen minutes. In
Lond0n a birth occuTs every six minutes and
a death every eight. The drinking places in
new York set in one street would extend sew
.nteen miles Those in London seventy-three
miles.-EI,
