fnf n comaly d presented in
the opeIl edkes Of the present cam
paign Of the Presidential preference Of
the masses Of both parties clustering
around gentlemen who fatty refuse to be
candidates. The announcement that Mr..
Tilden would consent 10 head the Dem
ocratic hosts would be greeted with un.
precedented enthusiasm, while the i'm
mense majority Of Republicans incline
to Blaine. There 10 one marked differ.
ence between these two illustrious
public men. Mr.. Tilden. in the campaign
OF 1880. gave evidence that his disin.
clination TO re enter public life was sin.
cere. by letter and by telegram he
emphaticalIy declined to permit his
name to 80 before the Cincinnati Con.
vention. which body would probably
have nominated him by acclamation il
he had been consentiont. Mr.. Blaine
has not yet had an opportunity to con-
vince his partizans that he Is In earnest.
His most intimate friends. when sp-
preached on the subject, have no hesi-
tation in declaring their belief that II
nominated the Plumed knight would
accept the honor, with thanks. Such
incredulity as TO his frequently expressed
intentions must grieve the sensitive
spirit Of Names favorite son. Perhaps,
after all. he aims TO be the Warwick Of
American politics 1.-The King-maker rath-
er than the King.

THE Payne ''boom" seems to have
come to premature end as far as that
gentleman can squelch it himself. He
has written to friend that under nc
conceivable circumstances will he permit
his name to go before the Democratic
Convention as candidate for President.
This is very severe on all those Repub

PROBABLY in the opening Of no Presi-
DENTAL campaign during the past fifty
years has there been 80 much apathy
as now. Although within three or four
months Of the meeting Of the respective
National Conventions OF the two great
parties, there is no. the slightest excite.
ment observable any where, and this is
notably the case with The Republican
party which, al this date four years ago.
was boiling over with energy. Then
Grants three lieutenants, Conkling,
Cameron and Logan, were laying the
wires for third term for Grant, while
the astute Blaine was fighting them
with the vigor Of Paladin Of old. The
time that was not consumed in March,
1880, in overslaughing the real prefer
encos OF tho voters and packing the Re-
publican delegations Of New York and
Pennsylvania was being employed in
setting up colored delegations in the
Southern States to pipe to the third
term keynote. What q change has
come over the Republican dream since
those halcyon days!

Loss OF the city Of fCOlumbus-The
PII0t's License Revoked.

BosToN, Mass, March 8. The United
States local inspectors who investigated
the wreck OF the City of Columbus, with
the loss of seventy-five of her eighty-five
passengers and twenty-eight OF the fifty
four in her crew, report that the backing
of her engines after the ship struck was
a fatal mistake. The report goes on to
say; "When at last the course was
given the Mate, Harding, by Cap
tain Wright, the ship was where
any ordinary landsman could
have taken her past the fatal rocks with
out chart or compass. We cannot
help believing had special pilot been
on duty no such disaster could have
happened on such night. The imme-
diate and direct cause of this disaster
was the neglect of the man or men left
to watch the ships course. Captain s.
4. Wright was the only legal pilot on
duty at the time of the disaster and for
two hours Immediately preceding, and
for illegally delegating the performance
Of his duties of Pilot to those unauthor-
lied, and for inattention to his duties as
Pilot, his license us Master and Pilot is
hereby revoked. For at least one hour
before she struck, he was not at his post
of duty as Pilot, attending to the actnal
duties and as Master.

lUNATlCS IN ALABAMA.
An Asylum that Has Burned II: Strait
Jackets and Governs Only by Kindness.
New York Sun.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.-The Sun recently
announced that q committee had been ap-
pointed to investigate the abuses in the
Utica lunatic asylum. 1t may interest New
York people to know that the Alabama in
sane asylum in this city is believed By many
persons competent to Judge to be the best
conducted insane asylum In the country.
Its surroundings are beautiful, and 1t Is
more like a charming home than an asvlum.
The superintendent Is DR.. P. Bryce, and 1t
Is to the law Of kindness which be adopted
at the beginning that is due his remarkable
success In the management of 600 patients.
The buildings are almost palatial. All
duced. The gas is made on the premises
from the coal taken from mine on the
grounds owned by the asylum. The build
ings are heated by steam and supplied with
hot and cold wate-. Each ward has its
dining-room, BATHROOM, corridors and q
bay window Is feet across, in which there
are beautiful exoties, singing birds and
well-stocked aquaria. The chambers, with
their rustic furniture, pretty notices and
other adornments, are far more inviting
than ordinary hotel rooms.
Ne mechanical restraint Is used with the
pstients. DR.. Bryce burned the strait
jackets twenty years ago. No punishment
Ia permitted, and II the nurses are not liked
by the patients, and there Is good cause for
the prejudice, they are ssnt away.

SPRING WHEAT.
The Prospects for the Crop in Several Of the
Western States.
Chicago Tribune.


The reports from the spring wheat belt Of
the Northwest show that there will be little
IL any change from the general record Of
previous years. In the older states, no.
tably,. Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin,
thereis marked dimiu,ition of the area
devoted to this cereal. but the loss thus sus.
tanned is compensated for in the fields Of
Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska. A 80
per cent. increase Is noted In Brown county,
Dakota, and one of over 500 per cent. in
Clark county Of the same territory. A Gen.
tral Illineis report, on the contrary, chron-
icles the sowing Of the grain for the sole
purpose Of excepting the bugs from the 9TH
er crops.' The outlook in Minnesota
seems very encouraging, chiefly in tie
western and northwestern sections, and 1t
is declared by an authority on the subject
that there has never been better spring for
seeding wheattha the present one.
The influence of prices on the acreage is
not perceptibly large, save In sections where
the grain is an unreliable crop and where the
inducement Of ample remuneration must
balance the risk of q small harvest.
The larger and surer profits incident to the
raising of cattle and corn have also, in some
quarters, caused farmers to abandon the
cultivation Of the smaller cereals. Indeed,
the star of spring wheat, like that of Bishep
Berkley's empire, seemsto be steadily TAX
ing its course westward.
A review Of the reports shows that the
area is maintained at 30 per cent. of the
points heard from, and that the percpntage
of increase and decrease is about equally d.
vided between the others. a...

Determined MExIcANS.


CITY OF MEXICO, Mex. Dispatch: There
is no abatement to the feeling caused by the
onerous stamp tax and the streets have q
deserted air. The spirit shown by the mer.
chants here has spread, and reports receiv-
ed show that the business men of other cit
les of the rep:;blic are assuming the same
determined attitude regarding the oppressive
law.
A bill passed to q second reading In the
Senate repeating the stamp act, but what its
further progress will be can only be guessed
at. The Government is apparently not In
sympathy with this measure Of relief.
RUMoRs IN CIRCULATION.
1t is rumored that the Government pro.
poses to declare the course of the mer.
chants in closing their stores revolutionary,
and to force them to resume business. An
other rumor is to the effect that all mer-
chants who persist in keeping their stores
closed will have their licenses revoked, and
that the Government will make them pay
heavily for the privilege of reopening. In
Vera Cruz every place of business was clos
ed, including bakers, provision dealers and
others not affected by the stamp tax.
