The Grant and other Blooms.

The Grant sentiment is asserting itself much
more vigorously in New York than it did in
PENNSYLVANIA. The selection of Grant delega-
lions to the coming state convention goes right
along. and it is seldom the monotony IS inter-
rupted by the return Of any other kind OF dele
gates In the Albany district It was charged
that a Grant delegation had been secured by
unfair means new election was agreed to.
and the same men were again chosen, thereby
demonstrating that the Grant boom Is ahead of
all others in that locality. The friends of the ex
President In New York have, apparently, learned
something from the recent contest In PennSyl-
vania- The appearance In that state Of a strong
antf-Grant minority had dampenng effect
upon the boom, for awhile. 1t was claimed for
Gen. Grant that the movement in his behalf
was popular one; that it was the people as
sorting their preference in spite of politicians.
But when the contest developed the politicians
fighting on the side of the General 1t tended to
deprive the boom of it's spontaneity. If the
third-termers of New York can succeed in con-
trolling the coming state convention and In
Sending Grant delegation to Chicago without
the necessity of making fight for it, they will
add to the strength of their man. This seems
to be ther plan, and so far, they have met with
success. They have yet, however, to strug-
gle for those portions OF the state in
which the antiGrant feeling is strongest
In New York city, for instance, it is known that
Secretary Sherman has the support Of very
many of the most active and influential repub-
licans. The city delegation in point OF numbers
and influence, will counter-balance those from
numerous districts and thus at one blow the
Grant boom may be staggered and the Sherman
movement may be put in the lead in that
state.
Then will come the tug for Illinois; in which
efofa =,
strength. II the Grant men go into the con-
ventiOn backed by New York, Pennsylvania and
, ISfho,s, they will be apt to have things their
own way.

will require eight years to complete the work.
De Lesseps proposes to take American sub
scr1pttOns to the amount of one-half the capital
stock, and he doesn't seem to have any doubt
but that capitalists of this country will invest
to this extent. The original estimates of the
Suez canal fixed the cost at s4O,OOO,OOO. Subse-
quently the amount was increased to 500, 900 900,
and when the work had been completed it was
found to have cost 100000, about double the
first estimates Upon this basis it is fair to sup
pose that the Panama canal will cost great
deal more If it is ever undertaken, than the en-
gineerS have calculated upon.

According to the Baltimore Sun Mr.. Parnell,
before leaving that city for the west, stated
that the New York Herald OF Saturday, In an
editorial, gave him the first Information that he
had been appointed on the committee to dis
tribute the Herald relief fund. He said he had
previously refused to serve on the committee
because Of objection to Archbishop McCabe Of
Dublin, whom he considers as partial to the
landlords MI. Parnen could not understand
from the editorial OF the Herald that the name
of the Archbishop had been dropped, but init
mated that If it has been left Off he will with
draw all opposition and become one of the almo-
ners OF the Herald fund. Mr., Parnell had bet
ter accept the place on the Herald relief COM
mittee without any 'ifs' or "buts,' unless he
wants to be reckoned as caring more for per-
sonal aggrandizement than for the starving
people OF his country.

The anti-Chinese agitation Is in full blast in
San Francisco again, and a feeling Of uneas-
ness prevails there. The sand-lot people are
endeavoring to hasten the enforcement OF the
clause In the new constitution prohibiting the
employment of Chinese, and some of the cor
porations are inclined to resist. The legislature
with the object evidently of allaying the excite
ment, passed bill authorizing the courts to
enforce the ant-Chinese clause of the constitu-
ton. This was such an apparent attempt to
temportze with public feeling that It excited
more contempt than anything else. 1t is main
tanned in some quarters that the clause OF the
constitution in dispute is in conflict with the
United States constitution. This is a question
for the courts to decide but no act OF the leglsa
ture was necessary to this end

The accident which befel Hon. John Kelly in
stepping from street car while In motion, In
New York, the other day, will probably lead
good many persons to hereafter require that
convey ance to be brought TO a full stop before
leaving it. Getting out OF a moving horse car
Is Of course not quite SO hazardous as jumping
from he Platform OF steam cars while they are
under luli way, but still II is somewhat danger
Gus, as N. kelly's severe and painful injury
shows re dislocation Of a shoulder is too
high prize TO pay for the saving OF two or
three second time

Measures coming before Congress now are
tested in the light Of their possible effect upon
the approaching Presidential election, and when
the conclusion is reached that harm might come
OF bill its fate for the present, is settled The
democrats are anxious to avoid questions that
may cause partisan debate, and this accounts
for the unwillingness Of the House to touch the
Fftz John Porter bill. Democratic members
say that Gen. Porter can wait until after the
presidential election for the passage Of his BILL
and the indications now are that it will be per-
mitted to rest quietly in committee until then.
