Since it has been estimated that the act al

perhaps to two hundred and fifty millions of
dollars, the question of repeating the law has
been mooted. 1t certainly deserves cOnsidera-

Sir Samuel Wilson, the defeated Conservative can
didae for Londonderry, himself a colonist has been
discussing the increasingly diffcult relations of
Great Britain with her colonial possessions. lie
points out that In extent the Australian colonies
alone exceed in area the whole Of Europe. He esti-
mates that in tho next forty years those colonies will
increase to population of forty millions. From
Australia he turns to Canada, which he describes
81 capable of supporting population OF u hundred
millions " Now" he continues It'll a great ques-
ton how the connection with the old country shall
be maintained and what shall be the future of the
Greater Britain outside of the Britain We DOW in
habit IL we have thrty-three millions of people
in Great Britain and something like 100, 900 600 in
the colonies, the balance Of power will DO somewhat
disturbed and think some and wider scheme of
government must he established" Considering that
the speaker is a Conservative, snd that his views
may bc received as mild edition of colonial opinion
serious and important changes might be expected.
AS he represents il the question is one that cannot
wait and demands the consideration of the Imperial
Parliament. He looks forward To scheme which
shall unite not only Great Britain and Ireland but
the whole of the colonies in one grand federal EN-
pire 1t is true that tho British colonies are self
governed so far as their internal affairs
ccrned but the right to make or declare war rests
wholly with the English Government, and the colo
MES may be called to suffer for war policy they
never approved and were unable to control. 1t is
no doubt this point which is weighing heavily on
the colonial mind, and perhaps the Radicals Of
Australia look rather to severance than federaliZa-

An attempt to conduct the administration of a
great city as though it a large commercial or
manufacturing business is about to be tried I'm
Brooklyn. We arc anxious to see the experiment
thoroughly tested, with such man as Mayor Low
at its head. By recent enactments, the Mayor is
given extraordinary powers; powers so great that
the election of mere politician to the Mayoralty
would almost inevitably have been disastrous. He
has for instance, absolute power to appoint and re-
move heads of departments. He can remove not
only for cause, but without cause He can invosti-
gate any place Office at any time, and the expo

carefulness and honesty on the part of every sub
ordinate of every department. What a revOlu-

The lottery policy dealer sentenced to three
months in the pententiary, whose bondsmen
surrendered another man in his stead, has given

the bondsmen as q good joke. Perhaps the

If the Utah case is settled on the election
returns alone, there can be no doubt that Can
non, the Mormon, who received 1865 votes,
is entitled to the seat, and that Campbell the
Anti Mormon, who got only 1857 votes, has
no claim to it, although the Governor gave
him the certificate on the ground that he be-
ieyed Cannon was never naturahzed. The
question of citizenship Is one for the House,
and not for the Governor, to determine. The
House is the sole judge of the qualifications of
its members. 1t would unqdestionably hold a
counterfeiter to be disqualified TO sit as del
egate from a Territory. Why should it show

Corps of Engineers of the United States Army,
and w. E. Worthen, the well-known civil en-
gineer to examine the work and report on 1t.
Their report has just been submitted, While

Nearly Run Down.

Two colOred men, who were enjoying a
sail in the river, and a comfortable nap at
the same time, came near being run down
by the steamer Plant yesterday. The
steamer was on her upward trip from Tybee,
and nearly opposite Jones' ship yard, when
the boat was discovered a short dis ance
ahead under sail, and it was supposed it
would pass clear of the steamer, but in a
second It was observed that the small
craft kept directly in the track, and the
Plants course was quickly changed,
and her engine stopped, the steamer strik
ing the boat very lightly, and gliding of
passed clear of the wheels. The darlNies,
awakened as their craft dlifted astern, and
apparently not understanding how near they
came TO being drowned, were ready to
return to their slumbers. For moment
there was quite an excitement about the
Plant, but Captain Fitzgerald's usual pres
ence of mind and prompt action prevented
a catastrophe and doubtless saved two lives.

The Australian CORE spondent Of the
american Mail and Export Journal. in speak
ing Of the exhibits of American manufactu-
rers at the Melbourne International Exhibit
ton, under date of April Goth, 1881, writes
as follows:-
"Under the heading OF 'Office-Flttings
and Stationery we find the following high
compliment paid to a gold medallist of
many an international exhibition. The
Chairman of the Jury, in his report, tells
the Commissioners that Fairbanks ~ Co.,
st. Johnsbury, VT, and New York,
United States, exhibited postal letter bal
ances, with both double and single
beam, and possessing that beauty
and accuracy of finish for which
this description of goods from the
United States is so justly famed. A first
order of merit is awarded them. This is a
fourth First Degree of Merit given tc Fair
banks 81 Co. at the Melbourne International
Exhibition, and surely gold medal will
follow. The exhibitors obtained the highest
award in London in 1851. New York in 1858,
Paris 1867, Vienna in 1873, Santiago in 1875,
Philadelphia in 1876. Sydney 1877, Paris
1878, and at the Sydney International Exhi-
bition in 1880, in competition with the manu-
facturers of the United States and from all
nations of the world, special award above
all others was given to Fairbanks Scales. !"
News has just been received that Gold
Medal has been awarded, as predicted, to
Fairbanks 81 Co., the only one awarded any
Scale manufacturer from the United States.

OVERWHELMING OF BURaLARs
A Drug store Broken Into and
Robbed.

The frequent robberies which have been
perpetrated in this city lately, and the sue
cess that has attended them, leave no
doubt as to the existence Of 8 regularly OF
gained gang Of burglars who have maPpeu
out routes, so to speak, and are proceeding
systematically with their work
W. have now to record another feat OF
tboso rnidnf0ht marauders. About Tour
oiciocl- on Thursday morning. as Mr.. w. +.
po-v,,t, y-ss Dsssing Ulmer's drug store, at
- so,,.bvest corner of BrOughton and
ITo,,sto1 streets. he noticed the door open.
Ne Immediately rang up DIR. Ulmer and his
clerk. who sleep on the premises, and notl-
fed them Of the discovery.
They at once arose, and making an examl-
nation Of the store, found that it had been
invaded by robbers, who had effected an
entrance through one Of the windows az the
corner Of the lane. This was Accomplished
by cutting one of the Stats of the blind, the
opening made being sufficiently large TO
permit the burglar 70 insert his hand and
unlock the shutter. The WIN,
dow was then easily raised ana
the burglars sprang into the store anu com,
meueed their Investigations. Ihev secured
abOut five dollars, which was left 10 the I'LL
for change. a small lot of perfumery ana
some other articles, but the exactlOss cannot
vet be ascertained, as II is rather dlthcult 70
tell what has been taken from large stock.
The thieves made q desperate effort to get
into the safe, but owing to the COM
biuation lock, their efforts were
unsuccessful, though they managed TO
loosen the knob. The burglars evidently
proceeded very metnodically about their
work, and were in the store some time, as
nearly a whole box OF matches was used 10
Illuminating the place, the charred remains
being found on the floor in different pOr-
tions Of the store. They were, 1t IS pre-
sumed, afraid to light the lamps Under the
circumstances It is surprising that the place
was not set on FIRE. There is no clue 70 the
thieves.
shortly before one O'Clock, yesterday
morning. another robbery was attempted in
the same neighbOrhood. Three negroes en-
deavored to effect an entrance into the
house Of Mr.. VIM F. Bennett on Broughton
street, near Houston, by cutting slat from
the blinds OF one OF the parlor windows.
There were several persons sitting up
with al inmate OF the house, who was Sc
riously III, and the noise attracted their
attention. They went to the win
dow and saw the negroes re-
treating, and but for fear of the effect
upon the sick person, would have aeeelera-
ted their speed oy sending some leaden mes
sengers after them. II is not unlikely they
were the same party who had previously
visited DIR. Ulmer's store.
We also learn that the residence OF Capt
Philip R. YOnge, the well known conductor
on the Central Railroad. located on Valid
burg street, near the Park, was entered on
Thursday morning early and robbed OF lot
Of silverware and other valuable articles.
