It is the wise policy of the British to reward
literally all inhabitants of islands or coasts
who give ccOr to shipwrecked English
sailors. They take great pains to do this. Our
own Government has pursued the same course
at times, and would probably have done SO
oftener. if there were only more American
sailors to be wrecked. We certainly have
chance now to do something handsome Tor

proof of this obligation.
New-Yorkers have not had much comfort out
of their beautiful Fifth Avenue this fall, at
least. For months, block after block in Its
busiest part has been torn up, and the work or
repaving drags frightfully. Further north
there is state of things nearly as bad. The
surface of the macadamized road-bed which
skirts the Park has been ground to powder,
which fills the air, interfering with the pleasure
and injuring the health of every one who walks,
drives or lives there. This is caused solely by
the neglect of the city authorities to keep the
road in good order 1t should be sprlnkled
constantly and cleaned often or it should be
repaved with granite blocks, which, to GER
tain extent, take care of themselves.
Mr. Emery A Storrs a strong friend of Gen
eral Arthur, comes CALAMITY to the front with
defence of the campaign management of the
National and the New-York Republican State
Committees. His assertion that Mr.. Blaine was
the only Republican who could have carried
Ohio. and therefore the best man for the Presl-
Dental nomination, is confirmed by the opinion
of all careful observers. When Garfield was
nominated four years ago, the pride OF ONO
was highly gratifed but even then the reply
of an Ohio Republican to congratulations com
monty was, "Ah, yes, we like Garfield; but we
would have preferred Blaine Throughout
the Western Reserve this feeling was especially
marked. The fact that the Republicans car
red that State at all this fall shows how popu-
lar Mr.. Blaine was. In regard to some OF the
other opinions expressed by Mr.. Storrs, there
will probably always be two opinions but as
to the necessity of closing up the party ranks
preparatory to sharp fight four years hence,
all Republicans are unanimously agreed.
Chances for success then look brighteven now.

trim our great party is left for the next
contest. What he says of his per
sonal feelings over the result will
be fully credited by all who understand what
his attitude toward this years campaign has
been from the outset. He did not want the
nomination would not lift his hand to help
secure it; always regarded the struggle this
year as difficult and doubtful with
any candidate when the nomination
came, did the very best he could for the party,
and will now waste no time in repinings. He
was splendid leader, and the party will be as
proud of him in his defeat as ever before.
