WASH ugton, Aug. 2i-What effect q
war between France and Ch;na would
have on our trade with the latter coun-
try, is of course matter of speculation.
but it is believed the United States
would be largely benefited thereby. The
report of the commercial relations issued
by the state department in 1883, gives
tie total imports and exports Of China,
as shown by the latest statistics, as $685.
$4,000, of which Great Britain con-
trolled 1923, 3,l95,0-); Hong Kong. 1884,.
5000; British India, $50, ,122, 600; inter-
est of Europe, $2l.016.000; the United
States, $l4,246,0C); Japan, $685. 900;
Russia, $6,256,OCo. The efforts
made by our manufacturers
for the enlargement of our
trade with China are now being felt, the
direct exports from the United States
having increased since 1881 from 81, 100,-
0C0 $5,450,000. The direct mutual trade
of the United States and China in 1881
was $22,3l7, GOO, of which S3,625,OO0 rep.

cotton goods manufactured for the Obi
nese market are highly adulterated and
inferior in quality to the American,
they control the market.
Wh'le it cannot be expected
that American goods con Immediately
displace the perfected and long acquired
trade of the British goods, still the COM

By reference TO the City Charter we find
that the duties of the Superintendent of
Water Works are thus defined, "THel
Shall have the care and management of the
city water works, and shall at all times he
subject in respect thereto to the orders of the
City Council" The duties of the Superin-
tendent OF Streets are laid down as follows
'IHel, subject TO the orders and ordinances
OF the City Council, shall have the immc.
dlate care and supervision of the streets and
public sewers. lie shall be under the
general direction and control of the standing
committee Of the Board OF Aldermen on
streets and highways
These are the powers and duties Of
the superintendent OF Streets and
Water Works, aud they were uni
versally recognized us such until with.
in few years. Then the Aldermanic
committees began to usurp the Superin-
tendents powers, until at the present time
things have come to such a pass that tn,
| committees are omnipotent and the Snperin
tendents are mere clerks. The committee,
dictate to the Superintendent in even tn,
smallest minutip, engage and discharge men
and manage all the details of the Supetin-
tendents' Offices. The Superintendent are al
present not personally responsible for one
single thing they do, Tor they simply execute
| the orders OF the Aldcrmanic committees
| Aud III the case of the water works, the Su.
perlntendeut is not at all responsible to tho
| committee by the charter; and in the case OF
the streets, the Superintendent is subject only
to the general direction and control of the
street committee.
The system is therefore unjust and wronp
as far as the Superintendent are concerned
Tor they are obliged to give bonds and arc b,

management of their departments. wherea,

the gravest complaints against the SYSTEM

departments referred to. The Superintend
enls are certainly not responsible, and SC
ilucluatlng body us committee has OF
course no res onsJilitY whatever. Finally
the system is wrong ia that it combines in
the same men the legislative and executive
functions OF government. 1t is as if The
National House OF Representatives should
itself expcnd the sums it annually votes III,
Government in The appropriations. The same
Aldermen vote the money and expend it.
This is wrong in theory and injurious in
practice, and we hope one OF these DAYS &c

political bearing whatever No one admits
more readily than We the good things which
some of the Aldermen have done for the
city and t.e time thought and labor they
have devoted to its interests, not only with

it seems to us that the abuse We have been
considering Is great and dangerous one.

In the new aspect Of the canvass, the names
most often mentioned are those Of Governor
Barstow, Hon. George Nichols of Mortified,
Lieutenant, Governor Pingree. and Gen. w.
W. Grout-a list in selecting from which no
serious mistake could be made. There has
Deen no governor since the adoption of the
biennial system whom we would not have
been glad TO see reelected and Governor
Barstow-whose administration has been
second to none in dignity and success-cer-
talnly forms no exception to that desire. If
there should be living chance to break the
one-term rule, with him or any subsequent
governor we shall for one be on the watch
Tor it, ana nope to see the effort made.
But we know that Governor Barstow does
not expect anything of the kind; and that
The invelerate and unwise practice of the
State at present offers small hope of success
In such an endeavor The other three are
well known and worthy Vermonters, ideu-
tined with the name and interests of the
State, and having hosts of mutual friends,
who could cordially support either of them.
AS between them, We do not believe the
State convention can do better that TO place
the name of DR.. Nichols at the head OF the
ticket. He is a strong and working Repub.
lican, his personal character is without
blemish, his long experience as Secretary of
State-an office which he has held for some
twenty years, during which its duties have
been increased and made much more respon
sible, largely on account OF the especial &C.
curacy, fidelity and ability with which he has
performed them-has given him a familiari.

man In the State can equal His remarkably
wide acquaintanceship, conservative tenden.
cies and courteous bearing, are added
qualifications. His name is not a new one

candidate for the nomination it will be not
the slightest disparagement of him if the
majority of the convention shall, on the
whole, give their preference to the older,
more experienced, and more widely known
man.
We write In this NATTER as the partizan of
no man or clique, having no grudges to graft
fy and no obligations to repay, save those of
long friendship and kind regard for all the
gentlemen named; and looking only at the
best good of the public and OF tho party,
which exists for the public good. The stu
alton, we are glad to believe, is not one that
is likely to evoke any bitter rivalry, or heat
ed contest. And it IS to be hoped that cour-
tesy and good temper will characterize the
canvass, whatever may be its issue.
