because they cared only for the spoils of
political warfare, and because they did not
care one iota about principles.
all this is plain enough, and yet it con.
tinues to fool the masses. II voters were
intelligent it is evident that it would be
useless for the politicians to swing round
the circle as they do. But as it is, they
flop and change about, and yet the people
follow them, and seem to think that even
the most patent frauds are perfectly gen.
uine. Here in San Francisco are the old
kind of politicians coming forward and
offering pledges; as if any amount of
pledges could serve as guarantees for
them. And what is more, there are thou
sands of voters in San Francisco who are
ready to accept such pledges, and to give
their support on the strength of them. Let
US remember that these are the evidences
of a popular gullibility remaining after
more than hundred years of political
experiment that this is the country in
which democratic government has had the
longest trial and that after all this is the
best we have been able to get out Of it.
How, then, should it be surprising if sim
liar attempts should prove unsuccessful in
countries without anything like our expe-
rience? Here we see how long it takes to
develop the capacity for self,government
with free institutions. Certainly no less
disciplined people can hope to effect any.
thing permanent in the same direction.

THE PRESIDENT.

Yesterday in the early part of the day a
faint change for the better appeared in the
condition OF the President, though it was
not Of character to justify hope of his
recovery. The parotid gland subsequently,
found an avenue of discharge in the cavity
of the ear, and this seemed to relieve the
patients brain, which became much clearer
afterwards. His stomach continued to
accept nourishment, and his general con-
dition appeared somewhat easier. These
slight changes however cannot be built
upon. 1t is evident now that he is suffer
ing from blood poisoning, and that the
brain has already been affected in this way.
1t is also evident that he does not derive
sufficient strength from the food he swal-
lows to increase his strength, or to enable
him even to hold his own. The advance of
the blood. poisoning is symptom of almost
fatal exhaustion, and though he nay con-
tinue to live for several days yet, unless
some improvement which it has become
vain to look for should occur, he must die
in the end. This is the conclusion to
which the Cabinet have already been
forced, and though the physicians will not
say that they have abandoned all hope, it
is clear that they are without any Deep
seated expectation of the Presidents re-

A CURE FOR SMOKERS. ga few years
ago l was most inveterate smoker" said
Judge Tyner, the First Assistant Post
master. General, as he strolled along the
beach at Atlantic City. cat that time
thought it nothing to get through ten
cigars day, and often l exceeded that
number. The practice played the mischief
with my health, but do what 1 could,
the habit stuck to me, and l decided that
there was no good trying to be virtuous
where tobacco was concerned Well, l
cured myself by mere accident. One
day while crossing the ocean, 1 had a
severe spell of sea- sickness. l went up on
deck in the hope that the fresh air would
act as reviver. Mechanically, as was my
habit, | took out cigar and lit it. Before
it was half consumed the sickness came ON
again. Ugh! it makes me think of it even
now. Anyhow, overheard went the cigar,
and from that day to this couple of
whiffs are enough to turn me upside down.
If you happen to know any body who wants
to let up on the habit, just advise him to
take weed and dose of seasickness to-
gether, and I'll warrant you he will be an
anti tobacco man ever afterward. "-TPhila-

TIE PoPE's LAST THREAT.

1t appears that there really was some
basis for the statement that the Pope had
declared his purpose to leave Rome and
seek an asylum elsewhere. There was so
much in it that the Pope has allowed the
report to be circulated, but it is none the
less impossible to believe that there ia any
serious intention of the kind entertained.
The Pope is very likely restless and impa-
tient. He perceives that the policy which
Plus the Ninth inaugurated, and which he
has been almost forced to follow by the
Jesuits, of making himself nominal pris-
oner in the Vatican, has had literally no
effect, and is destined to have none. The
fact is that the talk of anybody being
imprisoned in the Vatican is absurd,
and all the world knows it. In that splen-
did palace with its spacious gardens the
Pope can no more be imprisoned than a
person could be imprisoned with all the
city and suburbs of Sacramento to wander
at will in. Whatever purpose there may
have been in the adoption of this policy,
to create sympathy for the Pope, has
therefore failed entirely. There are too
many millions of really poor and straitened
people in the world people who are im-
prisoned in tenement houses and who have
no prospect OF escape; for the idea of the
Pope's voluntary retirement to a palace
which itself is city, and which
is placed in grounds broad enough for a
county, to excite any feeling of com.
miseration for him, or suggest anywhere the
advisability of taking up arms in his be.
half. This complaint, in fact, has entirely
failed of its anticipated effect. Nobody
cares how long the Pope may shut himself
up in the Vatican. Nobody would care
i { al the Popes should hereafter refuse to
lev it. A consciousness of this general
ind Msrence has perhaps had something to
do with the recent report about projected
change of Papal residence. But nobody
will believe this report, because everybody
knows very well that the Pope cannot
leave ROME without making very bad
exchange OF residences. Malta is the
place specially named as his probable re-
treat, but If be went to Malta he would
have to submit himself to English and
Protestant laws, and no exercise of tenn
poral power even on the smallest scale
would be permitted to him. Nobody be.
lieves that he would seek go disagreeable
q change as this, and nobody can believe
that any other power than England would

A GOVERNMENT FOR ALASKA.

a Convention was held recently at Sitka,
for the purpose Of taking steps to induce
Congress to grant Alaska Territorial Gov.
eminent. 1t is true that the population of
that territory is as yet exceedingly sparse,
but there are several substantial reasons
for granting this request. In the first
place Alaska has at present 70 government
at all, and therefore there can be little in
ducement to settlement there. To keep it
in this condition consequently is to prevent
it from acquiring a larger population. In
the second place it needs government to
keep the Indian population in order.
Hitherto it has been necessary to station a
national vessel at Sitka nearly all the
time, and even then it has been difficult to
prevent outbreaks whenever the Indians
got hold of any whisky. In the third
place the fur trade and the mining industry,
which promises to attain considerable
dimensions, require legal protection. There
are other reasons why Alaska ought to
have BONE kind of government with
out further delay, but these are probably
sufficient to show the justice of the de-
mand for it. No doubt some of the
Alaska people are thinking more of pcs
sible Offices than of the good Of the terri
tory, bat Congress is not bound to establish
a oumbrous and elaborate governmental
machinery merely because there are Office
seekers eager for place. Courts of record
are imperatively needed, and there should
be some central authority with consider
able powers. As to full hedged Terri
" torial Government" which is what one
OF the speakers at the Convention de-
manded, it would be in order to show
exactly what population Alaska possesses,
and how it is distributed, before thinking
seriously of that proposition. We note
that there were only fifteen delegates
present at the Convention, and that fact
does not suggest a very large constituency
in the background. Alaska should bC
content to grow slowly, and should moi
risk everything by asking too much a
first. Some kind Of government the ter
ritory needs badly, but it does not need ;
full Aedged one just yet, if we may
judge by the general indications.

THE RUGBY COLONY.

The accounts of the Rugby colony which
have been coming of late seem to indicate
that that once promising experiment is
about to break down, and from causes
which admit of no cure. 1t is said now
that nearly all the land in the colony is
so thin and poor that it is hopeless to
expect good crops of any kind from, it.
If this is true it is Of course fatal de-
feet in the scheme. A colony which has
made mistake of this kind in the land
upon which its whole existence depends,
must be regarded as a flat failure. 1t
seems, however, that there is difficulty
about water as well as about the quality
of the soil. There are no sufficient springs
at the central village to supply the peo-
pie, and SO they dug artesian wells. These
however were shallow, and do not appear
to have been carried down to safe depth,
as regards drainage. The wells not fur
nishing large enough supply cistern
was dug, and filed with rain water and
now, between the shallow wells and the
cistern, they have managed to introduce
typhus fever into the Rugby colony, and
no less than twenty cases have appeared.
1t is amazing that this colony, which was
supposed to have been founded upon scien-
tidc principles, should after all develop
such fatal and fragrant defects. 1t
certainly might have been thought that
when the land was selected care would
have been taken to make sure that it was
Of satisfactory quality. This was SO
essential to the success of the whole scheme
that it is impossible to understand how it
should have been neglected, and yet if this
story is true the land must have been
taken haphazard, perhaps without refer
ence to anything else than its situation or
its general picturesqueness. Then again it
is difficult to understand how the vital
water question could have been ignored,
and how this colony OF specially intelligent
people should have committed mistakes
such as colony OF fat-witted clodhoppers
alone would have been expected to be
capable Of. On the whole the hearing is de-
pressing, and we fear that the experience of
the Rugby Colony will for long time to
come put damper upon that kind of en-
terprises, no matter how cleverly they
may be advertised and pushed forward.
We are sorry for Mr. Tom Hughes, but he
ought to have been more careful in his pre-
liminaries.

this is not the case, however, and even il

tenl-which certainly presents the only

ing system the country has ever had
the question would remain, of the
security to be given for the solvency of
these banks. OF course with the payment
of the debt and the abolition of the green
back the question of security would be-
come vital one !; and we hope we make a
mistake in thinking we detect in Mr..
Goes argument on this head disposition
to take, on behalf of the banks, a sort Of
half.and-half fat money position. Fiat
money is of course as Objectionable in one
respect as in another, and it will no more
do as security for national banks than as a
national currency. Mr.. Coe must not
imagine that anything less satisfactory
than the present form of national bank
securities will ever be accepted by the
people. Indeed, such system of banking
must be absolutely safe, or it may be-
come even more mischievous than
the old State banking system. It must
indeed be difficult to find exactly what is
needed here. The methods of the
Bank of England are not to be followed,
chiefly because they are not the result Of
scier tifc calculation, but have grown out
of emergencies and peculiar conditions.
They have grown up, in fact like the Brit
ish Constitution, and it has been doubtful
for several years whether they have not
ceased to be the most advantageous even
for Great Britain, and whether they afford
the security they were intended to give.
We must have complete security for any
banking system hereafter adopted, and we
must also have absolute uniformity. We
could not dispense with any of the facilities
and benefits the national banking system
has conferred on us, in short, but if it is 70
be continued it must be guaranteed in the
most ample manner.

burned, birched out, fenced out; all has
been found useless. The injection of car

effective but costly. Lately the Govern

PARNELL AND THE LAND BILL.

Parnell has committed himself to con-
tinued course OF agitation, and has already
denounced the land bill and treated it with
disdain. This is no more than was to have
been expected from him, for of course his
occupation would be gone if the land bill
was accepted as remedy for existing evils.
Weobserve, however, that the local leagues
in Ireland have also declared themselves
in several instances on this matter, and
that they do not show any disposition to
repudiate the land bill. They in fact are
prepared to accept all the good that is to
be got out of it, and at this point it seems
they are about to separate from the agita-
tor. Should the views of the local leagues
be generally adopted, Parnell will have up.

A VERY PRACTICAL SUGGESTION

White Thunder an Indian chief, has
just made a suggestion to the Indian
Bureau which is so practical and sensible
that it is to be adopted forthwith. He
says that in the past there has often been
ill-feeling and misunderstanding between
the Great Father and the red men, because
when the former sent gifts to the latter,
the rascally Agents intercepted them, or
only delivered portion of them. Now.
says White Thunder, if the Government.
whenever it is about to send presents to
the Indians, will make out duplicate in.
ventory of the goods, and give it to the
head Indian, he can check off the gifts,
and make sure that none of them have
been withheld. Perhaps the most singular
thing about this proposition is the circum-
stance that it has never before occurred to
the Indian Department. 1t is evident that
White Thunder possesses some very sound
ideas about checks and balances, and that
he has studied the ways of the genus In.
dian Agent to some purpose. Hereafter
there can be no doubt that the gifts of TIE
Great Father will reach the hands for which
they were intended.
