 A movement in the right direction has been lnaugurated by Dr. Virgil W. Blanchard, who has been contributor of several valu- able papers to the Bosto1s Medical and Su7,gi- c01 Journal, and now is engaged in the ad- vancement of the Food Cure System, de- signed to supplant the use of drugs in the treatment of all facilitated conditions. The system is a series of concentrated liquids, manufactured principally from the wheat kernel concentrated and artifcially digested by processes we'll known to science. We have not space to go at length into the common sense theories, but have pleasure in saying that the evidences of the value of these foods are conclusive. Our well-known Rev. Dr. Austin Phelps, of Andover, endorses the Life Food highly; Prof. John Clark. of Oberlin, has received great benefit numberless phy- sicians from all parts of the country, as well as hosts of private individuals, testify to the curative effects of the Blanchard Foods.

 Grave apprehens1ons are still felt concern ing the missing bark Trinity, which sailed from New London, Ct., in June, 1880, upcn a sea elephant voyage to Hurd's Island, in the Indian Ocean. She was due home early last spring, but has not been heard of since The vessel has undoubtedly been lost, but it is thought the crew may have escaped to the beach and are there awaiting relief Hurd's Island lies not far from the Isle of Desola- tion, ip the Indian Ocean, out of the track of the commerce of the world-a mountain, 8 rugged, ice-clad rock-uninhabite and unin- habitable. Sea elephants, aquatic birds and wild cabbage might furnish sustenance to the men.
 After persevering effort, and through the helpof Secretary Blaine, the United States steamer Marion has been picked out by the government and on Saturday was ordered to proceed in quest of the missing vessel The British government would have, sent one of it's vessels to try to find the Trinity had there been one in neighboring seas. The captain of the Trinity, Mir. Williams, belongs in New London; also the first mate, George Keeney; the cooper, Daniel M. Ayres; the steward, Jacob M. Edwards also the following: Henry A.

By Prominent Citizens Against the Pur-
 chase of the Xvat~rworlks.
 We the undersigned citizens and business firms of the city of New Haven. oppose the scheme to have the city purchase the water works at this time, because of one or all the following reasons:
 First-Because under the present arrange ment good water in sufficient quantity is fur nished at rates very much lower than the average price charged by cities
 Second-Because the purchase by the city will compel the city to incur heavy bonded indebtedness which may prove an increasing burden and will tend to deter capitalists and manufacturers from locating in midst.
 Third-Because in our belief the works if owned by the city will be run by a partisan ring whose bad management will result in in- creased water rates, corrupt jobs and prob able increased taxation.
 Fourth - Because whatever might have been our previous opinions regarding the propriety of purchasing when it was sup posed that the city must buy now or not at all the Water company's agreement that the city may purchase at any time in the future at a fair price, and to provide water forever at as low if not lower rates than they now do, convinces us that the public will suffer noth- ing by foregoing the purchase at present, while che city will escape the burden of an oppressive bonded debt
 Fifth-Because we are satisfied with the past and present management of the water works in the matter of low rates purity and quantity and distrust the results.

GOLD AYD 4RADE MOTEMENTS.

The rapid movement of gold from Europe
needs no other explanation than that when
the latest monthly report of the Bureau OF
Statistics supplies. lii February. once more,
American industry scored another victory in
its competition with the industries of other
lands. Imports decreased $7,896,916 in COM
parison with those of February, 1880, while
exports increased $7,694,177; the excess of
exports was ,$19, 300 ,295, while the excess in
the same month of 1880 was oniy 1903, POP.
These figures mean that American industry
has made visible progress during the year, IN
supplying its own wants. and that 1t has also
made progress IN placing its products at the
service of foreign consumers. For the people
of this country are not less we'll clothed, fed
and supplied in all respects than they were
ono year ago. But they have less occasion to
draw upon foreign supplies for their needs,
and that proves a greater ability, on the part
of American producers, to supply needs
which have usually been met in part
by foreign labor 1t is a necessary infer
ence that American labor has coDtrived either
to increase the quantity or to diminish the
cost Of products in which it cOmpetes with
foreign workers. In fact it has done both.
The artificial initiation of prices which Oc-
Cured in the winter of 1879-80 has passed
away. But more American factories and shops
are at work than were at work one year ago.
The country is supplying by its own labor a
part of its wants which it was compelled to
supply one year ago by foreign labor. Instead
of $11O,955,959 worth of foreign goods i'm
ported in January and February, 1880, we
have imported only $93.O50, 500 worth in jan
uary and February, 1881. A part of the diff
ference is due to decline in prices, but the
larger part is due to a decrease in the guam
titles of foreign products bought. Thus Great
Britain exported to this country, in these two
months, tho following quantities and values
of iron:

certainty of getting nothing il he loses; but hh
cannot be expected to bring forward suretles
for so large an amount. These cases are con-
stantly occurring and as the law stands az
present, there is no way Of bringing them be-
fore o court of justice.
In such cases it will be time enough TO ask
the poor client for bonds when verdict mas
been obtained and there is something tanglDie
to receive. At that stage of the proceedings
there would be little difficulty in procuring sure
ties who would be responsible for the amount
awarded pending an appeal of the case, If tue
defendants should take that course. But IN the
beginning, q nominal bond in the discTeuon OF
the Surrogate ID all that is necessary One OF
more bills providing for the amendment OF the
Code to this effect have been drawn up, and
will come before the Legislature. As matter
of common sense and simple justice this
amendment should be singled ont from many
others that are now awaiting legislative action
and not be sacrificed to that feeling OF opposi-
ton to all changes in the Code which Is hkely
to spring up before the close OF the session.
Here is statutory provision that Is unwlse'
unjust. unreasonable and unnecessary. Let 1t
be amended without delay.
New-York tribune., 1881-03-31
AN UNJUST Law.

Public attention should be directed 10 pro-
vision of tue new Code which is unjust and OPP
pressive to the poor. BY statute the only
remedy given TO the widow or family OF one
who has been killed through the negligence or
carelessness Of anOther-and that other is gen
orally contractor or wealthy cOTpOratiOn-is
by an action brought by the personal represent
tatives of the deceased for the benefit Of the
widow and next of kin. The new Code pro-
yides (sectlon 2,G67) that any person who is
appointed al administrator must execute and
file bond, before letters can be issued to
him, and must have sureties not only for double
the value of the personal property of which the
decedent was possessed, but also for double
"the probable amount to be recovered by reason
" of any right of action granted to an executor
" or administrator by special provision Of law"
The amount which can be recovered il death
can be shown to have resulted from the negli-
gence of employer, contractor or corporation is
restricted to $1,000, and consequently a bond
with sureties for $40 900 must be filed before
an action can be brought under the statutes.
Tie injustice of this requirement is apparent
bricklayer, let u say, is killed by the fall of
scaffolding which has been insecurcly erected ;
or laborer loses his life from premature blast
in street excavation OF from the collapse of
an embankment which has been left in dan
gerous condition; and the responsibility for the
accident can be traced to the employer, or
through its agents TO the corporation The
widow and her children are left without means
and without support. Their only means of re-
lief or redress will be an action for damages,
which can only be brought by an administrator
able and willing to give bond with suretics
for $4,000. But criminal negligence in such
cases is seldom an easy thing to prove, and not
a little skill and experience is required in col
lecting evidence and convincing jury that the
responsibility can be justly charged upon the
wOrkman's employers. IL the poor wife and
helpless children find a lawyer with the wit,
patience and ability required for making out
good case and pleading their cause successfully
against the well-paid attorney who will be en-
ployed against them, it will be good fortune
indeed But how can they obtain bond for
$10,O00f Without money, friends or inlu-
ence, they cannot bring the suit for damages,
unless an administrator will appear in their be-
half and give bonds for twice the value of the
damages which the jury may award them. A
yonng lawyer may be willing to undertake the
OF such claim on the chance of be
ing paid for his saryicesif he wins and the

THE REAL ISSUE LAST.

The country hardly needs to be reminded
that the Democratic party is the same ola
marty STILL Reminders of that sort have been
too freGuent in the past twenty years. But
il is curious fact that these exposures of the
real spirit of the Democracy usually come at
n time when they have been making some
special parade of self-imputed virtue. The
Democrats of the Senate the COnscript
Fathers of party which is loaded down with
all the infam1s of reputation in almost every
Southern State, and has made every possible
indirect attack upon the validity of the
National debt, HI 20 been in great concern,
of Late lest ga RepudiatOr should be
elected Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate,
and have in his polluted keeping
the purchase of bay rum and soap for
baths, and the preservation of order in the
wildly riOtOus sessions of the Senate.
1t was we'll enough as acting, but it could not
lau. With Senator Hill as spokesman, the
Democrats yesterday dropped their mas
querading in the guise of defenders Of
the public faith, and boldly set themselves to
asserting that the Democratic party in the
South had never. "by force, by frand, by in
timdatiOn, or by any other means endeavored
to prt vent 1" a free ballot and fair count
and the enforcement of equal rights. This
impudent declaration, not only that the DEM
Ocratic party has learned nothing, but
that it believes there is nothing to
learn, may well be commended to the intelli-
gent citizens of the country who know how
many thousand pages of b 'ady testimony in
the Congressional reports el' e 1t the lie. The
issue in the Senate is really one of the right
of the black man Of the south to own his
vote, and the country is under obligations to
Mr.. Hill for showing jnst where his party
stands on that question.
