gThe late death o t the Princes Alice,
| third daughter of Queen Victoria, who
died at Darmstadt in Germany, has
caused sincere regret and genuine sym
pathy for the queen-mother throughout
England. Princess Alice, in her girl
hood. was the loveliest and best beloved
of all Victoria's daughters. She was
early married to Prince Ludwig of Hesse
and was the mother of seven children,
one Of whom was killed while 4 baby,
by q fall from window, and another,
little girl, died with diptheria just be-
fore the death of her mother. Indeed, it
was while nursing little Marie, that
Princess Alice contracted the disease
that ended her life. She was cminently
domestic and tender in her nature, and
made society and fashion subscrvicnt to
the claims of home. She was the best
loved sister Of the Prince of Wales, and
during that terrible illness when his life
hung upon straw, she and his wife, the
Princes Alexandria, watched night and
day at his bedside, scarcely leaving him
for one half hour.-!Sunny South.

In the East the tramp nuisance has become
so great that severe repressive measures have
been adopted to relieve the citizens. Pennsyl-
vania has one OF the most stringent laws yet
enacted for the cure OF the evil. 1t provides
that when man goes about begging and has
no residence or occupation In the coun-
ty In which he may be arrested, he
can be taken before a magistrate and COM
misted for trial as for misdemeanor, and on
conviction may be sentenced to jail or to the
workhouse for term not exceeding twelve
months. If a tramp enters house without
permission Of the owner or occupant, or dis
plays dangerous weapon in threatening
manner, he may be convicted Of a felony and
sent to the penitentiary for term otexceed-
ing three years. This law was too recently
adopted for the effect of its workings to be
yet noted. 1t seems to be sufficiently COM
prehensive to cover the tramp case, and il it
does not no statutes probably will.

Did Conkling's late speech on the army
bill mean that he was for Grant for Pres.
ident or not? Is question worrying the
Northern press just now. The New York
papers generally think that 1t indicates
his preference for the wandering Ulysses,
with himself as chief adviser and frlend
and In control of all the Federal patron
age. SO wise q paper as the Philadelphia
Times, however, reads the speech entirely
different. Conk]ing's one ambition, 1t de-
clares Is the Presidency. He Is fighting fol-
1t behind Grants cloak playing Grant
under the belief that the latter cannot be
nominated and that seeing the impossibility
or his nomination he will throw his strength
for Conkling, as he did In 1876. In other
words, he hopes to get Grants reversionary
interest In case OF accident. If, however,
Ulysses proves formidable rival he, Conk-
ling, Is in just the position of Brutus-able
ready and willing to stab him In the back.
It is because of his can1idature the Times ex-
plains that Conkling has been SO silent OF late
on financial and other questions. He fears
the record that {. speech on these subjects
might make for him.

A few years ago the New York papers were
wont to sneer OF the West as the home OF
bankruptcy and Reputation. These diseases,
however, have spread East, and have, at last,
invaded the Middle States themselves. Eliza

bankrupt, its liabilities being equal to one
third Of the entire assessed value OF the town
Jersey City finds itself In the same unfor-
tunate financial predicament, and now comes
the once fourishing manufacturing town Of
Altoona, Pa, with the announcement that 1t
is unable to pay It's debts and will have to be
sold out at auction by the sheriff. Even New
York State does not appear to have escaped
this malady. The towns Of Thompson, in
Sullivan county, and Lyons, in Wayne, find
ing themselves heavily borne down by their
debts, attempted to repudiate, declaring that
their bonds were Illegally issued. This plan,
however, did not work we'll as the New York
Court OF Appeals has just decided against the
two towns, and they will have In consequence,
what with interest, costs and damages, q very
large sum to pay.

The people of Missouri have generally been
credited with being drinking people. It is
surprising, therefore, to learn that the Legis-
ture proposes to submit the question Of pro-
hibition to the popular vote in November
1880. The st. Louis Republican is convinced
that this will be the great issuein Missouri
in 1880. and overshadow and complicate all
other questions. Voters will no longer divide
into Democrats and Republicans, but into
prohibitionists and nti-prohibitionists. The
law to be submitted is the regular old Maine
liquor law, absolutely prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale Of intoxicating liquors.

DIR. OARRINGTON.

It must occur to any fair-minded man that
the efforts to remove DR.. Darlington from his
position as quarantine officer have assumed
the form Of unqualified persecution. 1t Is not
at all necessary to enter into any discussions
Of the merits Of quarantine, either as COM
mercial or sanitary measure. in order to
reach very clear conclusion upon this ques-
ton. So far not single fact derogatory to
Dr. Darlington has been made to appear by
anything that bears the slightest resemblance
to testimony, or which, indeed, rises above
the dignity or credibility Of mere bald asser-
ton ana irresponsible rumor. This fact was
made to appear in the interview between the
Governor and the committee from the Auxili-
airy Sanitary Association that called on the
Governor to demand DR.. Carrington's re-
moval, and In manner that placed that com
mittee at great disadvantage and in most
unenviable position. These gentlemen were
forced to confess that their demand for this
gentleman's removal was made mot
for any particular fault or charge,
but to restore public confidence and In
obedience to public prejudice" This commit
tee Furthermore confessed that it had never
made any investigation whatever Of the
charges Of delinquency and incapacity
made against Dr. Darlington, but had ac-
cepted every one Of these charges upon mere
rumor and hearsay. These were extraordi-
nary grounds upon which to ask the removal
Of an officer upon whom such grave response
bilities we're imposed.
In view of the fact that at about the very
time this demand was made, the President Of
the Board Of Health had declared DIR. Car
rington to be man above reproach and one
singularly qualified for the responsible
position he occupied, it is remarkable indeed
that such demand as this should have been
made on mere tittle-tattle and irresponsible
accusation. It Is still more surprising that
the Board OF Health should have taken the
matter up, after the untruthfulness Of the

The Zulu war is nearly over. large num-
Der Of Zulu chiefs have surrendered to Lord
Chelmsford, and King Cetywayo himself is
willing to submit. What have the English
gained in gaining this much? The original
question, a dispute over the boundary line
has been altogether lost sight Of. Even If
England annexes the entire Zulu country she
will have gained little, as her control over
these savages cannot be as strong as that of
the United States over its Indians The Zulu
war Is one that England cannot well be proud
OF. She has met with severe losses in it and
gained nothing; gone to a heavy expense
with nothing to show for it save quarter of a
million OF barbarian subjects that she will not
know what to do with.

In the discussion as to DR.. Carrington's quail

and sense Of justice displayed by Gov. Mich
oils in declining to accede to the demands of
the committee, without just cause, substan-
tiated by incontroyertible facts, and In ODE
dlence to q baseless prejudice.
In his interview with the committee Of the
Auxiliary Sanitary Association, the Governor
showed himself familiar with the facts OF
every case urged In proof Of DR.. Carrington's
incapacity and as an argument In favor
Of his removal. In every instance he
reviewed the facts and disclosed the utter un-
reliability Of the hearsay upon which the
committee was making It's demand. So far
the testimony all goes to prove that Dr. Car
rington Ia most worthy and reliable, but
much slandered official. We say this appears
from the testimony, and because the testi-
mony is all on his side. There Is nothing but
tattle and assertion on the other side. Under
these circumstances. the action Of the board
in resembling the resolution passed the other
day, and opening the way to DR.. Darlington
for fair and impartial investigation OF the

pie justice. His removal without an oppor-
