The Canadian government has given much
aid to the American emigration agents by
some of its recent regulations, throwing OBJ
staeles in the way of would be settlers. Under
the new system everybody who wants to
settle In the Northwest must pay at the rate
Of 50 or 80 80 for his redemption right to his
second eighty acres the homestead right
being cut down to eighty acres. As double
the quantity Of good land can be had on this
side the line for the homestead and as almost
an unlimited amount beside can be pur-
chased for one-haif the Canadian price, the
already large emigration from that country
may reasonably be expected to increase. Min
nesota, Nebraska and Dakota will probably
reap a rich harvest from the recent rule
adopted by the Dominion government

Mormonism seems to have taken root t.
some extent in Northern Georgia and East
Tennessee. The recent murder of Standing
the Mormon elder, has brought out the fact
that for number of years Mormon agents
have been actively at work In that section
and have met with considerable success.
Some of the proselytes emigrated to Utah,
but the majority of them preferred to remain
In their old homes, where they have tena-
ciously chung to the new faith, but without
attempting to practice poIygamy. The kill
ing OF Standing has aroused all their zeal
and Is said to have given q fresh impetus to
the spread Of the Mormon religion. That the
Staying Of men will not stamp out heresy is a
fact as old as history The religious bigots
who killed Standing have already discovered
that they not only committed a crime, but
blunder as well.

The late Legislature Of New York passed O
law for the purpose of remedying present
evils in the tenement-house system in the
city which will cause very general remodel
ing of manv buildings If it is enforced. The
act defines ! tenement-house to be any build
ing in which three or more families live sepa-
rately, and provides that, whatever the size
OF the building lot, CD per cent OF the ground
only shall be occupied by the building. the
other b per cent to be left vacant for air
shafts Interior courts and back yards. Every
landlord Is also required to furnish at least
six hundred cubic feet Of air for each tenant.
The board of health are given power to en-
force these requirements, and they have
started out forty inspectors, who will investi-
gate every tenement-house In the city before
they get through. This looks as Ii business
was meant, but it would be rather sanguine
expectation to look for any immediate ameli-

A private letter from New Orleans having
expressed the opinion that there was not
tWenty-six feet Of water on the bar at South
Pass, the Cincinnati Commercial calls the at
tention of the Mississippi River Commission
ers thereto. The Cincinnati and Chicago papers
never lose an opportunity of doubling the
success of the jetty enterprise, and seem dis
posed to accept as fact everything except Of
fetal statements. Now we have suggestion
to make to them. Suppose they resolve their
doubts once, by for all clubbing together and
providing competent commissioner with
lead and line. Thus they could make their
own sounding. We are satisfied that every
facility would be afforded their representative
for prosecution or his work by both the ietty
company and the United States engineer in

A great outrage upon the members OF the
English Parliament is threatened. August IS
is the day on which grouse shooting begins in
the British Isles, and it is customary for Par
lament 10 adjourn on the twelfth, SO as to al
low the members an opportunity to try their
skill in the hunting field. From time imme-
mortal this has been done. No administers
tfon has found Itself strong enough To DEFY
this custom and keep members III their seats
while the grouse were disporting themselves
on the Scottish heaths. It Is now asserted
that Beaconsfield will attempt what no one
has ever dared before, and will try and keep
the NJ. P.'s in London until the beginning of
September. This Is dangerous proceeding
on his part and may bring defeat and ruin
on the Conservative party. A year ago, when
Parliament was about to adjourn, as usual,
in honor of the Derby. Sir Charles Dixie and
other members earnestly opposed the resolu-
tion declaring 1T childish for legislators to
neglect their business in order to see a few
horses run. This attack on the Derby and
the most cherished principles OF the British
constitution, awoke, as might be expected
volcano of indignation, and Sir Charles Dixie
was denounced as Radical and an enemy of
the State. 1t remains to be seen whether

Some months ago an explosion occurred In
a candy mandatory in Barclay street, New
York, In which number OF persons lost their
lives. The explosion was sudden and mex
plicable. 1t was laughingly said that the
candy had exploded and children were warned
against sweetmeats far more dangerous than
dynamite. Two days ago, q very similar ex-
plosion occurred iii another candy factory On
Elm street In the same city. This was much
lighter explosion than the Barclay street
one, and the building was 50 little
damaged that it was an easy matter
to Investigate the explosion and dis
cover Its cause. 1t Is now reported that the
story of the explosibility of candy, one
which the newspapers laughed at SO heartily,
is nearly correct The Elm street explo-
sion is traced directly to the starch used in
eandy-making. Starch, it is clearly shown.
can become, under certain circumstances, as
dangerous AZ dynamite or nitro-glycerine.
This II bad news for the children, but ought
to please the washerwoman, who will always
have an excellent excuse In future for not
putting enough starch In ones collars--a
fear lest these might explode and blow their
customers into pieces.

of the constitution.
Whether or not the Federal courts will sus-

Times, il appealed to, as that presumptous and
and self-opinioned sheet assumes, we shall not
even attempt To surmise And that Is not the
issue. We know that, In the strong language
Of Junius, "a Judge under the influence Of
government may be a traitor to the pub
lie" and that, during the past eighteen years,
it has been the policy OF the eonspirators
against the States to organize a Judiciary
to carry out, under the forms of law aud the
solemn decisions OF courts, the revolution In
which they are engaged and the object of
which = Capitalization - they do not now
attempt to conceal. The issue we are now
face to face with Is, shall the constitution, as
eSpounded by Marshall and Webster, be
maintained, Or shall the constitution be
ignored and the theory Of the government
maintained by John Sherman, the dissatisfied
hondholder, the Northern Republican press
and the New Orleans Times become the law
of the land? The Times cannot escape this
issue. 1t may pirate OF the decisions of courts
until the crack Of doom; but 1t Is revolution
it Is treason to the constitution; 1t Is unmiti-

States be made under the leadership OF stthe

The Convention Of the people Of this State
has done all for the public creditors 1t could do,
the bondholders have rights and they have
been recognized. The people also have rights

monishes the bondholders to acauiesee in the

EXPLANATION Wanted.

Resolved, That we are in favor of eur
rency of gold and silver, and paper Ia be
kept at par with coin at all times Heh'o-
cratic Platform.
1t is evident at the lfst glance that the
above declaration in the democratic plat
form adopted at Bangor is capable OF
double construction. 1t may be construed
to mean either honest money or
fiat money, Just rs The ease may
seem to demand. To the honest
money democrat it may he explained that
paper TO be kept at par with coin,
means paper redeemablc in and convert
BILE into coin, a construction which if cor
rect would be acceptable To honest money
men of all parties. But the fiat money
advocate will take the same clause and
looking at it through his spectacles see in
it fiat money plainly. For he argues that
fiat money, such as he advocates. would
be at par with coin always.
Now if the democrats assembled at
Bangor intended this as cheat, it was Il
very bungling piece of workmanship and
disgraceful to the party for its deceptive
character; if, however, it has an honest
meaning it is necessary that an explanation
should be made Without good and
sufficient explanation no man can tell who
votes for Garcelon whether he i voting
for honest money or fiat money.
The Belfast journal raises the name of
Daniel +. Davis at the head of its columns
as the candidate for Governor whom it will
support. We copy an able editorial from
the journal. which may be found else
where in our columns, in which that
paper formally takes leave of the demo-
cratic party and gives the best of reasons
for doing So The fact is, the Journal has
been guided by principle, while the demo-
cratic party is following the will-o-the
wisp of greenbackism. We cordially well
come the Journal to the ranks of the honest
money party and believe the editor of the
journal will never regret the bold, manly
and honest step which he has taken.
The low rate at which the fare over the
Maine Central for delegates to the demo-
cratic State convention was placed, has
led to the supposition that there was some
connection between that fact and the other
fact which has recently been mentioned in
the papers ''that the fusion State authori-
ties have not taxed the Maine Central
"Ralroad Il cent the present year
The Democratic Convention at Bangor
is said to have been Il very large one.
The gathering ought to be large. when
the Democratic-t ireenback alliance mut-
ally and reciprocally attends each other's
conventions. But if the delegates limit
themselves to vote each at the polls, the
party won't be any bigger than ever
