Iouse-hunting seems to be leading
occupation just at present. There are
more men who are looking for tene-
ment and cannot find it than there has
been in many years. The city is liter
ally full. That migratory class Of peo-
pie who consider spring incomplete
without transfer Of their personal
effects to some more commodious or
convenient dwelling place will be put
to unusual trouble this season. It
would seem to be a good time for en-
larging the dwelling capacity of the
city. Money spent in building few
score of middling houses on lots where
there would be an opportunity to do q
little gardening would probably pay a
better percentage than it does in some
other fields. There is not sufficient
building going on to indicate that any
of our moneyed men see it in that
light. If the present large demand is
only temporary, of course it would not
pay, for idle houses is one of the worst
kinds Of dead property to have on hand.
But we like to flatter ourselves that
such is not likely to be the case-that
the number of permanent residents is
increasing more rapidly than accom-
modations. Many cities similarly sit
uated have found a profitable way of
dealing with this question by the or
ganizatiOn of Building Association.
1t would seem that the interests of the
city demanded that something be done
toward providing suitable houses for
those who came here to locate perma-
nently. 1t is often as much a draw
back to be unable TO rent suitable
house as it is to be unable to get en-
ployment. A Building Association
which would have for a main object
the building up of the town by erecting
such buildings as are in demand, and
selling on long time, with monthly
payments not greatly in excess of a
fair rental for the place, would be a
benefit to the city, and it would not
prove an Improbable use Of the money.
Our business men will have to take
hold of this question yet.

The question Of lowering the Annie.

The question Of lowering the Apple
ton dam is receiving considerable at.
tentioR. The floods which occurred al
Oshkosh and Fond du Lac on account
OF that dam have reused the people of
these cities to the necessity of provid-
ing security for their property in the
event of another similar overflow. OF
course the people Of Appleton are
equally anxious to retain and protect
their water power. AS they are rival
cities in northwestern trade, there will
be apt to be some bitterness engender-
ed on both sides. Last year was an
exceptional year, and the floods may
never again be experienced. 1t is only
the possibility of a recurrence that the
Oshkosh people have under their mi
croscope, but to them the possibility
however shadowy, is alarming. The
government will have to take the ac-
tive steps toward lowering the dam,
and Washington is at present the seat
of the controversy.

The closing Of the saloons in Ohio
on Sunday has not proved successful
in the frst instance. In Cincinnati
the rum regulation was almost uni
versally disregarded. Somehow the
questions of rum license, of prohibi-
tion, of closing saloons on Sunday and
similar measures, meet with an opposi.
tlon that is strong and determined.
Either those who prefer to see any
such measure fail are in majority, or
else those who wish to limit. control
or annihilate the sale of liquor are
very much disorganized or bashful in
executing the measures they are so
profuse in passing. The statute books
are full Of dead laws on the LIQUOR
question. 1t seems doomed invari-
ably to fall short of the mark. LIQUOR
dealers are active. They will not, of
course, stand and have their hands
tied, simply because the law says they
must. 1t is their business to ride
down the law if they can. The whole
question of liquor traffic is like great
sore fastened uron society. Not the

WASHINGTON d. c., May i, is

WASHINGTON ID. c., May /, 1882.
A few members in Congress, infiu-
enced perhaps more from policy than
principle, have been finding fault with
the administration at Washington for
not demanding the release of Ameri-
cans imprisoned in Great Britain.
Mr.. Robinson, member from New
York, is the leader, and has his follow
ers. They profess fatherly regard
for our Irish fellow-citizens, and strive
to have them believe that the Demo-
cratic party alone is their true friend.
The alledged Imprisonment of Irish
citizens by the English authorities has
been seized upon as text to make it
appear that this Republican admins
tration is Indifferent to the persons
held under arrest. Not only the Presi-
dent and his advisers, but the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, who have this
business in charge, have been assailed
for neglect of duty. Mr.. Robinson,
some days ago, offered resolution in
the House, virtually abolishing the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, of which
Mr.. Williams, Of Wisconsin, is chair
man. This resolution came up for &C

Probably the greatest liar on record
IS Shipherd, who has for the past eight
months been so unpleasantly prom
inent as a man with great schemes fol-
obtaining wealth in South America
ont Of claim upon the Guano depos-
its of Peru. There is very little in the
way of ordinary lying, forgery, and
perjury but he has tried his hand at
it. Ex-Secretary Blaine has character
lied him as one "wh0se business is
falsehood and perjury his pastime."
Mr.. Blaine's examination before the
committee Of Congress investigating
the diplomatic transactions between
this country and Chilli and Peru, es-
pecially that part Of it relating to the
instructions to Ministers Hurlburt and
Prescott and the alleged collision of
Mr.. Blaine with Shipherd, has for the
past week drawn considerable atten-
ton. Mr.. Blaine's testimony before
the Committee is an important chapter
in the history of the great controversy,
both as showing the policy outlined by
Garfield on many international ques-
tions and the true part the Secretary
took in outlining the celebrated
Blaine policy" To say that the
" Maine man" has indicated himself
would be but to feebly recognize the
irrecoverable state Of self-contradic-
ton into which he has thrown the
over-ardent critics who have attempt.
ed to put him into his political grave
seemingly a little in advance of his
time. Incidentally in the course OF
the testimony many things which
ever since Garfeld's death the most
abstruse rumors have circulated
about have been brought into open
light, and the press which has so re-
lentlessly undertaken to hobgoblir

English politics are likely to take
another turn. The Premier, it is
thought, will join hands with no less
parsonage than Parnell himself, and
with such a union of forces they will
undertake to reorganize the land bill
and put it in such a form that the de-
mands of the Land League will be
approached. Such Il union implies
great concession on both sides. On
the side of Parnell, he will accept the
conditions imposed upon Ireland by
the land act and work to make it more
effective. Mr.. Gladstone will leave
out the Objectionable feature of coer
cion.

Ex-Secretary Blaine seems quite able
to hold his own before the committee
which is examining into his Peru-Chili
policy. The young congressman Bel
mont finds when he undertakes to
badger that he gets no sympathy from
the public for the round periods in
which Mr.. Blaine expresses his opin.
ion of him. The most persistent OF
Blaine's accusers are constrained tc
acknowledge that there has been moth

spiracy, and that Mr.. Blaine acted

CATARRH.- Without assuming to
write out a thesis Of this universal
ailment, facts warrant our saying that
it seems to us there never was a sea-
son when it was so prevalent as the
present.
The above is preliminary to the
following, viz: That Messrs. Hood !
Co., of Lowell, believe that the best
way to treat Catarrh, and the only
way to get permanent relief, is
through the blood. A constitutional
disease requires constitutional rem:
edy. Hoods Sarsaparilla is blooo
purifier and constitutional medicine
that can be relied upon, and has curee
numerous cases Of Catarrh in its vari
GUS forms. We think this claim I
reasonable one and gladly give it room
