This country has just had narrow es-
cape. We thought for a time that the
Miss Gertrude Blood that Lord Colin
Campbell was goiug to marry was a
daughter of Victoria Woodruff lour Vic.)
and the scare at once was tremendous. 1t
was bad enought to be allied to royalty
through james Gordon Bennett when there
was rumor to that effect, but to arrive at
that distinction through s'the Woodruff
was too much the country could not have
stood it, a revolution would have been inn
minent. But relief has been granted us
and we are now able to rest
safe in the assurance that the
Miss Blood, whom Lord Campbell married,
is not Vic,s daughter, but an Irish heiress.
We are sorry for Lord Campbell that he
has missed the glorious opportunity of be
ing related by marriage to 'our only Wood
hull" but thepeople of this country will
breathe easier, now that there is no pros
pect of Miss Victoria returning to us in any
royal relationship.

There is question of considerable inter
est in this city, namely on what terms and
in what manner are we to build our sewers
Now, there are two kinds of sewers to be
built, one kind for sanitary reasons and
the other for the purpose of carrying off
the sewerage proper of the city. Those
sewers built for sanitary reasons are prin-
cipally to carry off the surface water,
whether from rain or else sewerage which
the peculiar nature of the ground has left
in places where it will breed disease This
1t is the city's duty to carry off, for the
health of the city demands it, and sewers
built for that purpose should be built and
paid for at the general expense But other
sewers that are more properly private sew
ers, at least only benefit a certain street or
section, are an improvement sole
ly for the benefit of that street
or section and as such should be
paid for by special assessment on that
street or section. 1t is manifestly unfair
to tax man for an Improvement which
does him or his property no good. and if a
citizen desires certain sewer laid he
should be willing to pay the proportionate
amount for the good it does him These
are undoubtedly the grounds for the may
or's veto of the sewer bill introduced Thurs
day night, and they will generally commend
themselves as good ones

Doubtless as Mr.. Hayes of Fremont,
Ohio, thinks of the many changes that
have taken place in the administration
since he left it untainted, his bosom fills
with sorrow and his heart is sad Doubt
less thoughts of star ring thieves to be
punished and treasury steals exposed, and
the ''purest administration" shown to be
as impure as Grants, are all anything but
solace to him in time of trouble, an ever
present help in time of need He must la
ment the good old days gone by when
Dorsey and Brady could steal at will, and
John Sherman run candle account in the
Treasury Department, while he was draw
ing his salary in advance to cover all pos
sible contingencies, and laying by enough
for rainy day. But all this sorrow and
grief, this lamentations for what once was
and regret that it could not con-
tlnue, must be as nothing
compared with the anger and rage of his
devoted wife, the mistress of the White
House and Mr.. Hayes, when looking down
from her picture as it hangs in the White
House, she sees rare old Bourbon and fra
grant gin, rum of unknown age, and port,
sherry. champagne and Tokay, both cab
met and simple, all of great antiquity, as
they pass in as contributions to wounded
President. Such collection where once
so short time ago. was only weak tea

The long agony in New York is over,
and ConkIing and his shadow have been

4
and ConkIing and his shadow have been
laid away to rest, for q final rest perhaps,
probably temporary one. Miller and Lap
ham are the Senators, which same state
ment means very little more than man
has been selected to succeed Plat who is
not as good man as Plat, while Lapham
falls so far behind Conkling that a compar-
ison can never be instituted. Miller, of
wood pulp fame, glorious choice for. the
state ofNew York Lapham, Of no fame
at all, and very little prospect of any future
renown, chosen for reasons no man can
give, any more than the reason by which a
man draws prize in lottery. Miller has
spent some time in Congress, and there has
shown devotion to the wood pulp inter
est that commends hum to any constituency
that has interests at stake identical with
his own, but very little more. 1t surely
seems passing strange that in q state
con tanning the eminent men in the party
that New York does, men of ability and
special fitness for seat in the Senate, that
the only choice that could be made was of
men like Miller and Lapham. What an
exhibition they viii make of themselves !
How they will compare with the men that
in times past have represented the Empire
state Although Miller feels confident
that when questions affecting wood pulp
come up, he can acquit himself with credit
to himself and safety to his business inter-
ests, while Lapham will chirp a feeble .me
too" to almost anything that is stamped
with the party approval. New York had
in Conlxling man who could defend her
interest with the strength of a strong mind
and repel with vigor all insults upon her,
but even Dawes win grin super
ior to Miller while Hoar and
Frye will snap their fingers at
Lapham. Conkling succeed by Lapham!
what a fall is here,my countrymenl Brass
has taken the place of brains, and devotion
to ones own pocket book, supplanted de-
votion, if not the country, at least to party. |
When the Republican party cast Roscoe
Conkling out of its ranks, it threw aside
the man who had more brains than the /
whole party, who has twice saved the
party from defeat, and who was the only
party leader who had not been, at one
time or sanother, accused of personal dis
honesty. That they have made mistake
no doubt can exist, and in 1884, when they
have to confront the dilemma of defeat or
Roscoe Conkling as their candidate for
President, what an eating of crow there
viii be and what a shifting of records and !
attempts to reconcile long memories with
facts desired to be forgotten, by those
party papers, who now have in view the
present post offices but then will look only
to the future ones. b

Half breeds who fondly imagine that Mr.
Conkling is dead should remember, that out
of legislature that is notorious for its
corruption, which is known to have been
bought and sold time and again by means
of federal patronage and open brides; that
thirty-two men were found who stood by
him and voted for him to the end, unin-
fluenced by brides and uGterrified by
threats of administration displeasure.
Such fact means that they were voting
as they thought their constituents wanted
them to, a fact TO be seriously considered

mania is of especial interest and pertinence.
More recent writers Kiernan and
Spitzka. Gaillard's AedscaE Journal. No
venber. 1880 say concerning monomania.
The general intellectual status of these
patients, though rarely of very high
order is moderately fair. A monomaniac
is frequently crochety and depressed. He
concludes that he is parsonage of some
importance. Some great political move.
ment takes place, he throws himself into it,
either in a fixed character that he has al
ready constructed for himself, or with the
vague idea that he is an influential person
age. He seeks interviews, holds actual
conversations with the big men of the day,
accepts the commentaries shown him by
those in office as a tribute to his value, is
rejected, however, and then judges him
self to be the victim of jealousy or of rival
cabals, makes Incorporate and querulent
complaints to higher officials, perhaps
makes violent attacks on them"
The similitude between this definition of
monomania and the known history and
actions of Guiteau is too close to need
comment. The self-importance and con-
sequent vanityis strongly marked in the
assassin. and the idea that he has been d
leading figure in great events IS shown by
the pertinacity with which he sought the
Austrian mission, and the failure to get it
was doubtless the cause of his attack on
the president. The Regseso further states
that monomania in nearly all cases is in
durable and the only remedy of any avail
is solitary and life sequestration.

NO GIFTS TO PRESIDENTS.
Pittsburgh Post.


There are precedents in the Grant and
Hayes administrations for gratuities to the
occupants of the White House, but they
are bad precedents and should be set aside
in favor of the nobler precedents set by
John Quincy Adams and by Andrew John
son, who declined to receive presents from
citizens while they were in public office.
During the long service of Mr.. Adams IN
the house of representatives after the close
of his presidential term, some publisher
sent him fine edition of the Bible, bound
in costly style, as present. Mr.. A. as
certained the probable value of the book,
and enclosed the amount to the donor with
his thanks. but with the assurance that he
regarded it as improper for public officer
to accept presents from the people.
Mr.. johnson, while president of the Tn
tied States, acted on this principal in two
instances, one of which has never been
made public. Just before arriving in
Washington, in the early part of the year
1865, he wrote to a young friend whom he
had befriended in an essential way, re-
questing him TO cali on q tailor and order
him suit of clothes, to be ready for him
on his arrival to be inaugurated as vice
president His young friend seized the
occasion to present him the suit. 1t was
accordingly made, and sent to Mr. John
son on his arrival, but without the tailor
bill. Finding how the case stood he sent
for his friend, and made him receive the
cost of the suit, stating to him that it had
been rule of his life to refuse presents
from any one while in the public service.
This was the gentleman's account of the
incident at the time.
The other instance of refusal to receive
present occurred after Mr.. johnson be-
came president. Some superserviceable
friends, shortly after his Inauguration, in
stead of thinking of the widowed Mrs Lin
coin, who was left poor, FASTENED to sa-
lutte the rising sun of power by the offer OF
an elegant carriage and horses. But the
present was promptly and peremptorily re-
fused, Mr. johnson remembering the con-
stitutional provision in relation to the pay
OF the president which in spirit, if not in
letter, prohibits the acceptance of gifts
