IT average, o4ASO.
Mr. Collyer preached yesterday upon George
Eliot. His estimate ofs her life and character
makes no concession to that false sentiment
which seeks to create an easier code of right
conduct for the genius than for the common
place person.
The reports of q serious loss of life by the
burning of the insane asylum at Danville.
Penn, are happily disproved by the later
news. Although there were $50 inmates, all
were removed in safety-a fortunate escape
frsm great danger.
The celebration of the ninety-frst anniver-
sary of the Forsyth Street Methodist Church.
one of the few religious landmarks in the
lower part Of the city, was an occasion Of
much interest Addresses were made by Peter
Cooper, Thurlow Weed and Bishop Harris.
From the Washington dispatches it would
appear that there are ninety and nine persons,
more or less, each of whom feels that he
would be q better man in LIE Dues place.
This sanguine opinion is not shared by lie
Duo, who is of conservative temperament.
Ii will hardly be gratifying to British pride
to learn from o Russian journal that India is
safe from an invasion SO long as the Liberals,
who are friendly to Russia, remain in power.
To hold India on suherance does not accord
with the British notion Of absolute possession.
The collision by which ex-President Hayes's
train was wrecked was the result Of the dis
obedience of written orders. The engineers of
both trains bad written orders. The one who
disobeyed got his skull fractured; the one who
obeyed escaped unhurt. and received the
thanks of Mrs. Hayes and others for bravery.
This is almost too much like a novel.
As the British Government must know what
terms the Beers expect. there Is q fair pros
pect that peace will result from the instruc-
tons which the Cabinet telegraphed last night
to General Wood. It may be that the
Hpitzkop disaster has awakened Mr.. Gladstone
and his colleagues to full sense of the re-
sponsibility which this unjust war entails.
Mr.. Smalley gives some account in the letter

known for many years as the London CORE

pie will be driven to Uppertown or
to ST. Louis Bay. It must be re-
membered that the original town of
Superior covers less than one fourth
of this plateau, and has only l mile of
the ten miles OF water front of Su
perior and Saint Louis bays. The
owners must not force people to de-
velop rival points. Let them be
wise and liberal and all will be well.
And the owners must consider that
with the new development will
come local taxes of all kinds-for
street grading, sidewalks, sewe 8,
etc. etc., which will have to be met,
and which in the nature of things,
and under the circumstances, will
be frequent and heavy.
We have written the foregoing
in no spirit of fau.t finding with any
one. We simply wish to call at
tention to the situation. 1t is use
less to longer attempt to cover 1t
up. We feel deeply concerned and
greatly in earnest about it, and we
trust that all will give it their immedi-
ate consideration, and that the evil
complained of, which is now the
greatest obstacle to the progress G
our town, wilfte speedilyremedied.

Democratic Pow-wow and Republican
Chow-Chow.


MILWAUKEE, Aug. 3rd. 81.
The Democratic State Central
Committe met in Ncwhall House
parlors last evening. There was "A
full representation present and a
universal desire 10 make " thorough
canvass manifested. The State
convention is TO be held in this city,
al tic Opera Eouse, Sept. 28th,neXt.
Gen. Gabriel Rouck and Congress-
man Deus,e: are the most talked oi
candidates for Governor. 1t seems
10 be generally conceded however,
that the campaign will be against
overwhelming odds. The party lis
anything hut dead, but still lives
and has lots of" "healtny pus," but
it is unable to extract the republi-
can votes.
The republicans are jubilant over
their prospect, and numerous gen
tlemen are mentioned as probable
candidates. 1t is said jerry Rusk
has been prevailed upon to with
draw from the canvass in favor o.
Tho>. Scott,who will be backed by
Sawyer and Cameron. Hans. Is
Warner will 60 into the convention
with stronger personal backing
than any single gubernatorial can
didate. Democrats say the reason
Rusk did not accept the mission
rendered him 10y the President, was
because he and Sawyer didn't know
"where in he'll Paraguay andU Uraguay
were"couldn't find them on a map,
SO gave 1T up.
Since Jas. White ,-ex- comptroller
of the city, sold out the Ne'os
the democrats have been without
an organ Judge Mallory, and a
few of the faithful, subscribed
enough to buy the Ncacs, which
cost about s5,OOO-and gave it TO
White, who soon turned it over,
clearing about $4,000 in the sale.
White is now in New York dealing
in stocks. A new paper is now
talked of.
The event of this evening '7ill be
the marriage of Alexander MitohelPs
niece. The floral decorations OF
the Mitchell mansion on Grand
avenue are said to be very fine, one
florists bill for flowers furnished be-
ing over $4,000.

Angus Cameron represent the IS.
Senate here. Myron II. McCord,
Tom Scott, McFetridge, 10. Rankin,
