Says Harper's Weekly Rep.): "The
President we believe to be a sagacious
politician. He must, therefore. feel in
stinctively the force of the various cur
rents of feeling. He must know that if
the party sentiment at Chicago and IN
the country which rejected Gen. Grant
and selected Gen. Garfield as the candi
date is to be prescribed, he courts a
catastrophe He must see that the spirit
which gave Mr.. Wolfe $4,000 votes in
Pennsylvania, and which, despite the
'stalwart' hostility in New York, and by
force of feeling, not of O. -anization,
won the victory in that Stat, the spirit
which put aside Gen. Tracy in Brooklyn,
and elected Mr.. Low, and which, above
all, in Erie county, deliberately routed
the machine and its leaders, repudiating
their caucus and their candidates, and
serving notice upon them that so long as
their caucus was a false caucus and their
candidates not the honestly designated
candidates of the party, so long they and
their candidates should be defeated-is
spirit which is more alert and vigorous
than ever, and which the President
should neither despise nor defy"
Editor Curtis talks well, but he invites
the suspicion that, if the loaves and fishes
were more equitably distributed between
stalwarts and half breeds his opinion of
the President would be vastly improved.
Twas ever thus.

Under the caption "Shipwrecks on
the Florida Coast" the New York
Herald urges the establishment OF a
signal station at Fort Jupiter. Nearly
all the steamers running from the North
to Cuba and the Gulf ports and large
portion Of the coasting craft pass within
signalling distance of the Fort Jupiter
lighthouse, so that the advantage to a
large part of our commerce from having
a station there will be readily perceived.
The expense would be triaing, as no
doubt arrangements could be made with
the Lighthouse Board to extend the
wires to that point. The southern
storms and hurricanes are very often ex-
ceedingly destructive. AS it is now
vessels in these waters have no sufficient
warning or intimstion Of their coming.

On the morning after the Presidential
election of 1875, Zach Chandler, then
Chairman Of the Republican National
Committee, sent the following dispatch
to the canvassing boards of the States of
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina:
Hayes has 1876 votes and is elected" II
was a gross falsehood, as Chandler well
knew, but those who received the dis
patch understood its meaning. and forth
with the process of stealing electoral
votes was commenced. In letter writ
ten on May II. 1877, two months after
the inauguration of the fraudulent Presi-
dent. Zach Chandler referred to the
above quoted dispatch as follows: Had
those words not been said and said at
that time, Hayes would never have occu-
pied the Presidential chair. The letter
in which this square admission is made
has but recently been made public. 1t
was fitting that the protector Of the
monumental fraud Of the country should
have been so prompt to claim credit for
his work. 1t is to be hoped that future
Radical historians will make note OF
old Zach's boast.

The Virginia Republicans are dissatis-
fed with Boss Mahone's distribution Of
the State patronage, declaring that the
offices which had been apportioned to
them have since been given to Readjus
ters The charge is probably well
founded, but the dissatisfied Republi-
cans are powerless. Malone owns the
Republican side of the United States
Senate, and not even President Arthur
dares to obstruct bis plans. But this
dissatisfaction may find vent at future
State elections. Indeed, Congressman
Dezendori (Rep., Va who antsgonized
the coalition last fall, is said to be ready
to head an anti Readiuster Republican
faction. Should this proposed move
ment take on an organized form, the
period of Readjuster rule in Virginia
will be brief.

Gen. Tecumseh Sherman, on his re-
turn to Washington from Atlanta, when
asked whether he believed the Cotton
Exposition would help to reconcile the
South with the other sections of the
Union, answered;
'It don't make any difference whether
they are reconciled or not. The AL
mighty will take care Of the country, l
suppose, and He will see to that If the
people Of the South are not reconciled,
l don't see that it can trouble anybody
except themselves They will have to
obey the laws of the country just like
the rest of us, and l don't understand
that their likes or dislikes are regarded
in the matter"
The trouble with 'Cumseh is that he
had the assurance to intrude where he
had better have absented himself. His
reception at Atlanta was not as gushing
as he expected. If anything reconciles
the South, it is the knowledge that Sher-
mans sole function nova days is to draw
his salary. The Souths obedience to the
laws is voluntary and bayonet rule has
passed away.

The SGaitS~sGn iOr January is an
ialIv excellent number. 1t has
anoae It's able OF coa aus many inter
esting papers, among them "Suvern's
method of the disposal of excreta as
practiced in st. Jacobs Hospital at
Leipzig" by Dr. H. G. Boyer, U. S.
Navy; "The progress of sanitary pro-
lection at Newport" being the con-
tinuatiOn of report by DR.. StOrer. who,
in this number, treats Of the impurities
Of well water as tested by numerous
a1aivses, and who also treats fully of the
question of sewerage as presented in
different plsns before the city authori-
ties of Newport; 1.-The relative import
snce of various subjects in practical
sanitation" by DIR. G. B. White;
s'The fatal effects of impure
drinking water in Buffalo," by DIR.
A. R. Wright, and Health the True
Nobility" by DR.. A L. Gihon, United
States Navy. These last named papers
were read before the Public Health As
sociation recently held in this city, and
besides these are several shorter papers
devoted to domestic matters, such as the
cleanliness of kitchens, skinned milk
and self-raising -four, all of which con-
tain information of profit to housekeep-
ers.
1t may be seen from the above that the
Sanitqridn is not intended for physicians
alone, but for every one in a community
interested in the great object of the pro-
motion of public health. Its editor, Mr..
A. n Bell, New York, makes no idle
claim for it when he says that it may be
read with profit by all who can read, no
matter what their vocation.

The Increase of Crime in New Eng
land,


The increase Of crime in New England
is appaling-Of crime against life and the
interests of society, such as cannot be
accounted for on the ground of the abuse
of intoxicants-but of deliberative char
acter and having no provocative but the
corruption of the human heart. Muir
ders, suicides, defalcations and breaches
of public trust are so numerously put on
record every week in the Eastern States
as to show, as the Boston correspondent
of the st. Paul Pioneer Press says, that
that section IS in as great need of a warfare
against corruption and crime as is any
other place in the Union. The list Of
recent horrors and crimes against the
person and against honesty makes a
fearful catalogue, and they can
not be accounted for on the ex-
cuse of hard times, for such plea
can have no foundation. Everything
prOspers, not excepting murder, suicide
and robbery; and something manifestly
must be wrong. 1t may be men. or it
may be customs which are to blame; but
there are too many law-abiding and
honest New Englanders to allow the
present fearful state of things to go on
forever. 1t is just possible that our phi
lanthropists have been inquiring into the
sources Of crime with too little care to dive
into the depths of human nature aud hab-
its where incentives TO crime are more
cunningly hidden. 1t might be well to
think tins matter over, and elicit the
knowledge whether great moral reforms
has- no. more pa.as en- one or two
ssui patented ways 60 a-e.r more general
and perfect aecQWu islutrt.

The question which will probably ex-
cite as much interest as any other when
the subject of the tariff comes up for
discussion before Congress will be
whether the proposed tariff commission
shall be composed of members Of Con-
gress. or of persons outside that body.
The low tariff advocates will favor a
Congressional committee as being, in
every way, better for the country, and
likely to prove more satisfactory to Con-
gress itself. On the other hand the high
tariff pTotectionists will favor an outside
commission, mainly, it is believed, be-
cause they could the mere easily pack
such commission, and conceal any evil
dence tending to bring into disrepute the
present rates on import duties, by means
of which the lsboring tax payer is placed
in the power of the protected monopo-
list, and IS so mercilessly f1eeced so that
the fortunate manufacturer of protected
goods may grow rich at his expense.
This, however, is by no means the
only nor the chief reason why an outside
commission would prove unsatisfactory.
A contemporary, discussing the subject,
we'll remarks that the principal objection
to such commission is that the work
to be done has to be passed upon in order
to acquire any validity as law, by an
other and different body of men-that
is, by COngress-and thus virtually will
require to be done twice. The conclu-
sion reached by the commission must be
reviewed first by committees of the two
houses, and afterwards by the houses
themselves. 1t will be practically i'm
n)ssible for the committees to examine
al the evidence taken by the commits
son, and if it were possible, it would
sill be open to question whether all the
evidence was gathered IN which
The committees themselves would
have taken In the discussion which the
report must undergo on the floor of the
two houses the members of the commits
sion can take no part if they are not also
members of Congress. Consequently
there will be much cropping in the dark
when unexpected questions are put by
members in debate to those who have
the measure in charge. Moreover, an
outside commission would be an ire
sponsible body, having no constituency
to pass effective judgment upon their
dOings.
The public will be better ass ured of
the fairness of the report if they know
that its members have to meet their
fellow citizens within a brief period of
time and give an account of themselves.
eve can, says the contemporary above
alluded to, conceive of no metht d of
dealing with the tariff so poorly cslcu-
lated to satisfy public opinion, so awk-
ward and diIatory and so unlikely to lead
to a permanent adjustment as to send the
subject to an outside commission"

Formulation Items.

OF the total population Of the United
States go, 155, 1889 %, SIS. $50 are males
and "a, $50, 965 are females, showing an
excess of 871, 857 males. There are 4S,-
ATS, $40 natives and 9. 679. 94S foreigners
There are 4S, 4O2, $40 whites, $3.50, 1913
colored, los, 465 Chinese, 14S Japanese,
and sc, 407 Indians. 1t will be seen that
the foreign born population exceeds the
colored population. The small Chinese
element Q05, 465) does not justify the
prodigious alarm about an apprehended
Monaghan inundation that has disturbed
the Pacific coast. There were 69,042
Chinese in the country In 1870, so that
the increase in the decade has been only
AZ, 423. The colored population has in
creased from 4. $50. 1897 in 1870 to $780,
1913 in 1880-an increase of !, 1894 406, or
"a per cent. The colored increase from
1860 to 1870 was AL ,557, or about 10 per
cent
cit will be observed, remarks con-
temporary, "that the colored increase in
the last decade is four times in numbers
and three and one-third times in per
centage what it was in the preceding de-
cade. Indeed the colored population
has multiplied In the last ten years more
rapidly than it ever did, even in slavery
times. From 1850 to 1860, the palmy
period of the institution, the increase was
from $685., 900 to 4,441, 0O0-803, 900. or
about % per cent, whereas the increase
from 1870 to 1880 was 81 per cent The
native white increase in the same period
was from 2S,OOO,0OO to 96, 200, 600
8, 200, 900, or about 80 per cent. Our
colored folks, therefore, are more than
holding their own, for they are increas
ing by natural reproduction more rap
idly than the native whites.
This is the natural conclusion which
would be arrived at upon a superficial
scanning of the census returns of the
past two decades. 1t will not stand
thorough investigation, however. That
the negro is holding its own in the coun-
try is perhaps true, but in the Southern
cities the death rate Is, without excep-
ton, much larger than among the
whites. There is no doubt that the ap-
parently large increase among the blacks,
as shown by the census of 1880, is due
to the fact that the census of 1870 was
very imperfectly taken in the South.

There has recently been a great in
crease in the production of copper from
the mines of the United States, the esti-
mates for this year being 10000, 600
pounds, OF twice the production of five
wears ago. OF this amount the Lake
Superior mines of Northern Michigan
will probably yield three-fourths. New
mines of great richness are continually
opening in the Territories, and while the
uses Of copper are rapidly extending it is
probable that prices will be maintained
for some years. Copper, next to silver,
is the best metallic conductor Of cleo
tricity. and with the wonderful increase
in the use of electric apparatus the de-
mand for the metal grows also. Copper
is mined all over the world. but the
United States and Chill are the greatest
producers.

Kelly is at his old tricks. Rule or
ruin is his motto. The fruits OF the
Democratic victory in securing MAORI
ty of the New York Legislature are now
to be lost simply because the boss sees
a chance for good trade. he offers the
Republicans the control OF State affairs
in exchange for those Of the city. 1t is
not at all likely that they will be slow to
close with him.
