IEExPLIcaBLE NEGLECT.

The Health Commission of the city of
Baltimore reports that the alarming pre-.
valence of diphtheris there is due in a
great measure to the imperfect construction
of filth vaults, which are not properly
cleansed or ventilated. Precisely a ike
condition Of pits prevails in Sacramento,
and it need not surprise any if the result is
the same as in Baltimore. When diphtheris
becomes alarmingly prevalent perhaps the
authorities will heed the request to require
householders to ventilate pits and cess
pools, and cut off flom house connection
all drains by escape pipes for noxious
gases. The refusal or neglect of the Trus-
tees to require these ordinary sanitary pre-
cautions to be enforced Is iLexplicable.

the gifts of melody of the great singers,
but the masses are locked out with silver
key. The musical queens and princes of
the day appear to care very little indeed
for the verdict of the masses, since they
neither seek it nor give opportunity for it
to be pronounced.

TIE THREATENED STRIKES.

It now appears that most, if not all, of
the threatened strikes among the workers
of the Western and the Central States have
been averted. Il is TO be sincerely hoped
that the news is true. Had the strikes
prevailed some %, 900 workmen would
have been thrown out of employment. As
it is, some 1000 are already out of the
mills, though it is believed that as the
backbone of the strike has been broken
these men will soon return to work. But
if these 7 900 men shall hold out it will
be cause for deep regret on the part of all
thoughtful citizens and we'll wishers of the
workngmen of the country. Loss may
be-must be, indeed-visited upon capital
and the mill and mine owners; but they
are better able to bear it; the heavier
loss is that of the workers. If it is ad-
mitted that the strikers can be successful, it
will only be, as we the other day pointed
out, after long suspension of labor, and
whatever advance is secured will not COM
pensate for the loss, as we have already
demonstrated by arithmetical statements.
We know of no instance in which great
strike has been paying investment for
the workingman. Indeed most strikes have
been downright failures. They seldom Sc
cure an increased wage, and when they are
conducted by unions the members with
means lose goodly share of their treasure
laid up by hard labor and pinohing econ
omy, in order to support those without
money. The money of the "union is
made up of dues drawn from the wage.
winners, and which they had far better
have invested in home, or in such a way as
to give them some degree of independ-
ence. The really skilled and deserving
workman is most injured by the "union
and strike system, since it prevents his
skill from commanding higher reward
than that of the laggard aad incompetent,
for in unions all in given class re-
ceive like daily wage. regardless of abil.
ity. The undue advance of wages paid
out to produce an article adds to it's cost
and lessons its selling ability, and conse-
quently narrows and restricts the demand.
OF high-priced products there is less con.
sumption, and if the advance is upon nee.
essaries then the consumption Of Injuries
will be limited, no matter if the workers
who produce the Injuries suffer, and SO it
is that the equalizing process goes on. The
man whose necessities increase in cost
spends just as much less for things he can
do without, but in which he has before in
dnlged And this rule extends to capital,
which, when it does not find reward, is
disturbed, and the effect is felt along the
whole line of trade and values. An equita-
BILE adjustment and even balance between
labor and its reward is the one desideratum,
and the reward must no more be dispro-
portionately low than disproportionately
high. But has a strike-the forcible work
of striking union-ever brought about
this adjustment? In the nature of things,
can it ever do so? Has strike ever regu-
lated a demand for an article, prevented
reproduction and consequent panic, OF
has it, or can it, ever swerve the laws of
trade one iota from their line of action

collsborstors by which he has surrounded
himself, and by whose aid only could the task
he has laid out be achieved. Perhaps the most
interesting chapters in the volume are those
on the death Of Cortes, in which an exhaust
i've review of his character is made, and
which tends to modify the opinion of the
reader considerably concerning the conqueror
secondly, the chapter on The Ordinances
and Craftsmanship of Cortes," in which his
administrative ability is considered, and the
judicial qualities of his mind analysed. 1t
is vigorous review, and ons that does credit
to the analytical powers of the reviewer. As
whole the second volume of the History of
Mexico ful6lls expectation, and takes its
place even in advance of its predecessors,
since it is marked by greater confidence on
the part of the historian in the treatment Of
his theme, and since the opportunities of the
era treated afforded wider scope for the exer-
else of his spirit of justice and the evident
purpose to be true to fact, despite the colli-
sions that may result with other writers, and
despite the assaults others may have made,
or defenses they may have set up concerning
characters whom Mr. Bancroft's researches
prove to have been misrepreseDted in the past.

FRANCE.

According to the Paris Figaro France is
surrounded by bayonets, walled in by the
orders of Bismarck, and is victim to his
caprice. The tripartite alliance, it de-
clares, was intended as barricade from be.
hind which an assault upon France is to be
made. Italy, Austria and Germany united
and hating the republic the latter al war

Tonquin her people averse to any con-
hict with European powers the admins
tration on the eve of rupture with the
Vatican ); her citizens doubtful of the wisdom
of the Ministry, there certainly appears to be
reason to believe that France has arrived at
a very critical period in her history. The
outcome of the present complications none
can now i3resee. All sorts of speculations
and prophesies are made ny European cor
respondents, but they are all conjectural.
However, let US see how far conjecture
may reflect probability. France has a
powerful navy. second only to that of En-
gland. Her army was never stronger or in
better condition. But her people, however
distant hope they may entertain of
sweet revenge upon the men over the
Rhine, revenge congenital with their ma
ture, realize that any immediate provoca-
ton OF Germany to conflict of arms
would be the hight of madness, since the

by the French for the present. On the
other hand. Germany, having gained what
she desired by the new alliance-the re-
straining of France-has no desire for an
open conflict. She has nothing to gain by
it whatever. Her new position will ena-
BILE her to reduce her armament and hus-
band her resources, for the military activ-

peace, and dare not refuse, and Germany

rEK YeRns SUNDAY LAW.

New York has a new Sunday law,
amendstory of the old provisions of the
Penal Code. 1t prohibits on Sunday all
labor except for works of necessity and
charity. This leaves doorway that, SO
far as Sunday labor is concerned, is as
broad as barn door, and through which
any violator may drive with IMMUNITY.
The old law prohibited call manner Of
servile labor" except, etc. The amend
ment is defined to mean "labor needful
during the day for the good order, health
or comfort OF the community. But as TO
what is for the comfort of the COM
munity is question so exceedingly liberal
that it amounts to notification of the
section, and perhaps it is just as well.
The Democratic Legislature of New York
never intended that the law should be
effective. The old law prohibited all
trades, manufactures and mechanical EN-.
pigments on Sunday the new forbids
all trades, manufactures, agricultural or
mechanical employments, except they are
works of necessity" when they may be
performed in an orderly manner, so as
not to interfere with the repose and reli
gious liberty of the community" OF course
this sets free the great armies that con-
tribute to the necessities of the people,
and these range from the blacker of boots
to the agents of the Sunday excursion
train, from the picnic promoter to the
hiring of the fast teams by gay youths.
Shooting, hunting, fishing, playing horse
racing, cunning and other sports, exercises
and the like are prohibited, and all sales,
except articles of food furnished prior to
10 A. NJ. and meals by caterers served
to order, or meals eaten on the premises
where prepared. Goods of tobacco Except
where liquors are sold), fruit, CONNECTION.
cry, newspapers, drugs, etc., may be sold
on Sunday. All professions are prohibited
except for funerals or in religious services,
and no bands of music, fireworks, discharge
OF cannon or arms must accompany such.
But in military funerals band may play,
but not within one block of any house of
worship, when religious exercises are being
held. All kinds of dramatic, athletic.
minstrel, musical and other kinds of per-
formances as amusements are forbidden,
and those who aid to advertise any such
exhibitions, or lease houses or grounds for
the same, are held to be violators of the
law. The penalties affixed are ridiculously
low, being maximum fine of $40. or FIVE
days in Jail. One of the paradoxical feat.
ures of the new law is seen in the permits
sion to tobacconists to keep open shop, but
florists are forbidden to sell flowers, even
for church decorations, funerals or we'd
dings. OF course flowers do not contrib
ute to the joys of mankind go highly as
does the noxious weed. Fruit peddlers
may set up their stands on every corner,
but no flower girl must delight the eye of
the Metropolitan with bouquet. These
are but few of the absurdities of this
model Sunday lava law entirely worthy
a Democratic Legislature, and which is no
Improvement upon the law it displaces.

A DIVIDED ARMY.

The New York Herald sent a reporter
to CLEAN from Governor Ben Butler his
views of political matters. He was COM
municative to the news-gatherer, and
frankly informed him that there is but
one chance, according to his belief, for the
Democracy to win in 1854, and that is on
the tariff question. But he went on to
specify that it must declare for a tariff
limited in amount to a sum necessary and
adequate for revenue. But here is the
Courier Journal. declaring just as emphat-
icslly that an absolute free trade policy
only can save the party, while Mr.. Ran
dali is more urgent for protection of
American industries to be made the
Democratic war-cry. The truth is, that
the Democracy is hopelessly divided on the
tariff question.
