Judge FOlger nv the Republican NOlnI-
nec for Governor of New York.

1t is very hard at this time TO con jecturc
the extent of the opposition in The Republic
can party 10 such Il respectable nomination
as that of Folger. There is nothing in the
older history OF the man that would Justify u
Republican in boiling from him. lie has not
been II thlck-and-thin Arthur man, nor even
Stalwart OF pronounced sentiments He
was not the original choice OF General Arthur
for Secretary OF the Treasury, but was taken
up after Governor Morgan had declined the
appointment, when Mr.. Arthur was good
deal embarrassed to lay hold of Il man of suf-
ficient moral weight to satisfy the expecta.
tons of the country. Folger went to him,
not as an ardent ofiiGe-secker, but AS senior
and friend After Folgcr took his office he
showed complete Indifference to the cXpccta-
tions of the Arthur machine in New York
city and the Conkling machine in New York
State, 50 much so that his nomination to be
Governor Is IN enormous relief TO the ma
chine men, who want the Treasury to go into
real rowdy hands Consequently Folger can
not honestly be opposed by those Republicans
who want 10 testify their despite of machine
leaders. They might oppose him because
the machine was supporting him, but that
would hardly be a respectable apology for
abandoning probably the ablest man left
in New York State, certainly in
the Republican party, tor Gubcrna-
torial honors and service. Belonging to the
old New England stock which moved to
New York State soon after the Revolution
AIRY war, and is now thoroughly incorporated
with New York, Judge Folger, in his differ
ent capacities Of local judge. State Senator,
assistant treasurer of the United States at
New York, judge and chief justice of the
highest court in this State, and finally Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, presents remarkable
assemblage of services, and he has yet pre-
served his individuality and kept aloit from
embarrassing connections, not by any eva
sion of his responsibilities, but from tenn
permanent which is little given to hobnobbing
with their servitors or the usual rub.a.d dub
OF political workers. He has been accused
of want of of ability, because he had not the
address to suit all grades of politicians, or
to give the whole powers of his mind to ap-
pointing an assessor Of revenue or costom house
chief of division, Looking at him in that
worldly way that business people adopt, il
is seen that Gen. Arthur is remarkably fer
tunatc In having such u man at his elbow
who will take the nomination in New York
at this important time. Almost any other
man would revive the bitter conflict that has
ragged for several years past between the Half
breed and the Stawarts. Gath in the Gin

Prof. Leone Levi delivered an address at
the meeting of tho British Association in
which he estimated the annual income of the
British people at $4,000, 0OO,O Mr. Ed
ward Atkinson in his address at the opening
OF the Mechanics Institute estimated the
Income of the people Of the United States
at $40, 000, 100000 The present population
of Great Britain is reckoned at $1,000, 900,
and that or the United States at 81, 900, 900,

estimated at but 81 day for each adult, are
considerably greater than those OF the Brit

900, 900 of the annual British income repre-.
sents the earnings of the $4,000, 900 of the
working class, and S2,S20, 00O, 900 the re.

ancc and increase Of capital In the United

One-half of which can he reckcned as an

estimates the annual savings Of the British
working class at 500, 900, 900, and those Of
the wealthy class at $3.50, 900, 900, making u
total of S6l5, 100000 According to these

The Chinese question is looming up in
Canada, too. The Toronto Mail thinks that
unquestionably it is going to be some day one
of Canada's greatest problems The fact
that this question was leading subject of
discussion in the recent British Columbia
election indicates this. The popular plank
in the platform Of every candidate was "The
Chinese must 60" 1t seems that the candi-
dates for Parliamentary honors IN the Pacific
province were unanimous on the subject.
Each one denounced John Chnaman in the
most unqualified manner, and We'd with his
neghbor in the coming of epithets to hur at
the barbarous invader. two or three candi-
dates had the misfortune to have at one time
employed Cinnamon as operatives or as SER
wants. This unfortunate circumstance in
their careers was brought up against them,
and 1t injured them greatly in their can
yass.

The English Jetoish World calls attention
very forcibly to the effect on the European
grain market of the prosecutions of Russian
Jews. Compared with the cereal harvest of
1881, it is stated that not over onc-iifth of the
great grain crops Of Southern Russia will be
gathered this year. This is said to be due to
the refusal of the Jews 10 lend money to buy
ers, producers and others. to the withdrawal
of the prosecuted race from that market as
purchasers, together with their wagons, ami
mails, vessels and other machinery for NOV
wing the crop. 1t is believed from this show
ing that the European grain market will be
seriously affected by the hostile attitude of
the Russian people to the Jewish residents
within the empire.

Gov. Murray of Utah. has just appointed
officers to fill the positions held TO be vacant
from the failure to elect in August. The
Mormons deny that these offices were 50 va
Gated, the present Mormon officers consider
that they have the right to hold over until
the next election, Notwithstanding the act of
Congress which gave the Governor the pow
er to appoint officers TO those positions. The
old Mormon officers will therefore attempt
to stay in, and the new Gentle officers will
attempt to get in, and for short time the
Territory will have two sets al local officers.
A test case will no doubt be brought before
the courts Immediately, and the proper per-
sons will then be given full possession. In
the meantime the Gentle salt Lake 1rJune
says that the Mormons will undoubtedly
carry the election by from 1900 to $4,000
majority.

The case brough. to test the validity OF the
Utah statute comforting upon women thc
elective franchise has been decided in favor
of the women, the substance of the judicial
opinion being that Congress conferred upon
the Territorial Legislature the right to grant
the suffrage to any citizen of the United
States. That Legislature did so grant the
suffrage to female citizens in 1870. There
fore, any woman can vote who has been a
resident of the Territory for six months past,
is ovcr21 years OF age, and is born or nat
uralizcd citizen of the United States, or the
wife, widow or daughter of such citizen.
This will enable the Mormons to keep their
female vote, which amounts probably to 10,
900, and will give them an overwhelming ma
jori'y at the election. Indeed, it is probable
that the Gen,les will have only about 10, 900
of the 10000 to 35, 900 votes cast in the com.
ing election.

The mines are reported To be earning large
dividends. One hundred Thousand dollars
was refused here for u one-siXteenth interest
in the Quinnescc mine that cost the owner
$50 six months ago. The lumber bust
ness in the district is active beyond precc-
dent and the cut will largely exceed any pre-
vious years. Estimates place the receipts at
Chicago for the year at $500, 900, 600 feet
above last year. The consumption is CORES
