| throughout the world to-day is toward the rear
ization of the Socialistic ideal OF society ana
| government. He finds proof OF this IN the iact
| that the affairs of life which should be lelt
for private. personal adjustment, and which
once were so left. are now coming more and
more under State control This means Social
ism, for the world. and Socialism in his opinion
means slavery and despotism. Such view
of the tendencies OF our times Will give
little pleasure to thoughtful men-and there Is
truth enough in what Mr. Spencer says to make
our legislators at least extremely thoughtful.
Dispatches from the Lower Mississippi Valley
are somewhat complicated, but fair cOnstruc-
ton of them indicates that the river is falling.
AT some points above New Orleans the levees
show signs of weakness, and fear is expressed
that they may give way. In that city, however
there is less anxiety. The citizens still MAINTAIN
their attitude of sturdy independence, saying
that they are quite able TO protect themselves
This is an admirable spirit to show. There Is
no general disposition throughout the country
to refuse Governmental aid to sufferers from
flood or storm in any direction, North, South,
East or West but still, if New-Orleans, or any
other place, can get along without help, so
much the better for it and the rest OF the
country, too.
The mass-meeting at Cooper Union tonight
in behalf of reform legislation at Albany comes
at most opportune time. The disgraceful con-
duct of the Democrats in the Assembly yester-
day shows that they are not yet fully persuaded
that the citizens of New-York are in earnest in
their determination to have honest and decent
government in this city. The great hall at
Cooper Union, therefore. should be filled TO
overfowlng this evening in order to convince
these representatives of corrupt "Halls" and
"rings" that the demand for the passage of the
reform bills now pending at Albany is one 1t
will not be safe to refuse. Excellent speakers
will be there, among them the Hon. W. NJ.
Evarts, Judge Noah Davis, and Professor
Dwight. In addition, it only needs large at
tendance of citizens to make the meeting most
effective. ~

The British troops on the Egyptian shore of
the Red Sea are beginning to succumb to the
effects of the terrible climate. The march of
General Graham's men toward the walls of Ia
manieb yesterday must have been pitiful
sight. Hundreds fell from the ranks Frustrated
by the bad water and the intense heat, and
although they grew better toward night, still
General Graham feels obliged to give up the
proposed cavalry expedition to Berber. Incl
dents of this kind show the disadvantages
under which the British are carrying on this
iamentable campaign. The Arabs may not be
fatal but the climate is.

Yesterday it was reported that a sale Of 5000 tons
of steel rails had been made ut S3t per ton ms, be
il remembered is the result of active competition
among home producers. When Great Britain con-
troed the market, we were charged anywhere from
$50 upward for steel rails.
The city will soon DO provided with needed
hospital facilities on the east side. The Board Oh
Estimate, some months ago, made an Appropriation
of 81 0U0 for reception hospital on That slde OF
the city below Canal-st, and an appropriation oil
$40 900 for a similar hospital in Harlem. The Com
mssoners of Charities and Correction are considering
the adyisability of leasing house belonging 10 the
Ketcham estate, at eighth

a hospital in Harlem There is said to be great need
for such an institution in that part OF the city
Last wear there we're 200 ambulance calls from the
East One-hundred- twenty Street Station
House. Il would seem wiser, however, for the city
to purchase a building rather than to lease one,
especially as the Harlem hospital will undoubtedly
be permanently needed. The hospital below Canal
ST. is TO be made tender to Bellevue, and Will re-
lieve the one on Chambers st.
Auction sales of $500 pieces Of wOOllen goods re-
suited in prices disastrousy low" it is said. The
makers Of these goods according to report, will got
less than cost for them. But Democratic statesmen
are nevertheless clear that tariff reform is neces
sary, in order to secure cheaper woollens to con-
sumers and to break down the Intolerable" monopO-
"" of American manufacturers and operatives.
The little circumstance that the prices are about as
low now as they are anywhere else in the world does
not seem worthy of Democratic statcsman's atten-
ton.
To the Legislature: The Republican State Con-
vcnion is to be held on the Odd Of April four weeks
from Yesterday. There is time enough between now
and then to finish the work of the session, provided
both houses work hard and long and take few re-
cesses.
The wheat market went to pieces at Chicago
Yesterday The event has been expected by those
who have looked in tho face the facts Of the COM
mercial situation. For months THE TRIBUNE has
been calling attention to the fact that prices in this
country were so high as TO prevent the sale OF our
surplus grain abroad. The spectators have persisted
in their false stories of European scarcity, however
and some dealers and holders have persisted in be-
lieving them Prices have been artlficialy held mp
month after month, while India and Russia, Au-
stralia and South America, marketed what wheat
they had to sell The result that this country has
left on hand from the crop of 1888 many million
bushels of not very good wheat, with new crop,
and probably large one, close at hand. The dam

cannot well be estimated. Happily, yesterday
passed without important failures, here or at
Chicago, though some apprehension felt because
of the large amounts of money believed to have been
loaned Oh grain by bankers.

Despite all the confusion in the Assembly yes
terday over the bills which were special order,
an important measure which was regularly in
order was passed, and now is IN the hands of
the Governor. 1t was the Gibbs bill making
the Office for President of the Board of Alder
man elective This means an end to the corrupt
bargains and combinations which have so long
disgraced the Common Council Chamber. No
more Kinks! 1t also means that another officer
directly responsible to the people will have a
place on the Board of Estimate and AppOrtiOn-
ment, and a vote as to the disposal of the tax
naYerS millions.

The President has transferred Mr.. Sargent
from Berlin to st. Petersburg and the Senate has
approved his action. This wasan excellent move.
1t relieves Mr.. Sargent from a position which
was most painful to him and humliating to this
country, and at the same time does so in
way that casts no reflection either
on the Minister or the Nation he repre-
sents. Indeed, no other course than this was
open to the Government for 1t was the folly of
our State Department. in publishing Mr.. Sar-
gents confidential communications, that
first brought upon him Prince Bismarck's
wrath with all its disagreeable consequences.
The experience will probably teach the State
Department something-but, really, 1t is no
credit to a State Department to have to learn
wisdom In this way.

that amputation was unnecessary. Mr.. Brodie

Fire.-Early on Friday morning of last week
a brick smoke house and two small frame build
ings on the property of the late j. S. Forney, in
Reisterstown, were destroyed by fire, causing a
loss of about 5000. The property is now owned
by Hon. Andrew Banks, but when he purchased
it at the late sale he failed to have the insurance
policy transferred, hence the policy is vitiated.
The prompt assistance of neighbors prevented
the destruction of other property.

Advantages of Hornless Cattle.-A cor
respondent of the Ellicott City Times, writing
from Lisbon, Howard county, contributes the fol-
lowing: GAS there has been a great deal said and
written on the subject of hornless cattle, send
this for the benefit of your readers. My expert
ence for a number of years has been in favor of
hornless cattle. AS a general thing they are do
ce and easily managed and can be kept in large
or small numbers without Sailing or haltering,
the possibility of goring injuring each other
being out of the question, which is almost certain
to occur with the horned kind. For instance it
is almost impossible to keep bull of any of the
improved breeds, especially the Attorney, until
they are fully matured, on account of their dis
position to become vicious and manageable
Many valuable horses have been killed or other
wise injured by them, and they often attack man
also. pair of horned oxen for instance will usu-
ally keep herd of cows in danger of their lives
where they are permitted to run together, either
to be fed or watered. To those keeping stock for
feeding or grazing, to have them hornless would
be great advantage indeed, as the stronger often
push around the weaker ones without any mercy
whatever, frequently causing death. What a
wonderful saving there would be to those farmers
in the West and elsewhere who raise cattle for
shipment to foreign and domestic markets, if the
secret of having all cattle of every breed and kind
made hornless was known, To those wishing to
raise their own the coming season will give all
the information necessary to effectually prevent
the growth of horns on any and all breeds with
out the slightest injury to their health or growth
