Wyoming and other healthy Territories of
the United States for free entry into this
country. At present the Canadian Gov
eminent stands in the way. But it is
evident from what Sir John Macdonald
has said that Canada is not altogether
free from concern, lest upon this refusal
there should grow up a demand to allow
these cattle to pass by United States ter
ritory, under strict precautions, to Port
land, in the State of Maine. 1t seems
that rather than this should happen, and
that Canadian waters and Canadian YES
sells and railways should lose the traffic,
the Dominion Government would give
way and let the Wyoming and sther stock
pass, as permitted by the cattle act of this
year, by way of the lakes"

INCOMPETENT OFFICIALS.


A Washington correspondent Of the
New York World recently turned himself
loose with deadly effect upon Territorial
abuses. Among other things he says that
there never was a more picturesque lot Of
scamps turned u to Craze than those
sent by Republican Presidents to take
charge of civil affairs in the Territories.
Speaking of the Governor Of Dakota, for
instance, he says: His name is Gilbert
A. Pearce, and he was a sort of cores
pendent roady to Arthur in Washington
last Winter. Two weeks before his ap-
pointment he was writing letters to the
Grand Fords Herald and other Dakota
papers begging for a twenty-dollar-a-week
position. And the appointment of New
York's own sweet-scented Platt Carpenter
TO be Governor of Montana is still a mat
ter of recent occurrence. Carpenter was
the man Of straw put up to run as Lieu
tenant Governor along with Folger and is
the cheapest sort of starveling shyster. -
In considering the Territorial judiciary
the correspondent says among other
things II might appropriately recall
Hayes appointment of old Sener as Chief
Justice of Wyoming, to remove an eyesore
and 6lthy-smelling nuisance from Wash
i~ngton." In rapid succession follows this
lurid bit of language Report says the
Delegate elect from Dakota for the next
two years is one of the most absurd carl
catures IN craftsmanship that has ever
appeared in all the shabby lot. He is an
ignorant, clumsy, country lawyer, who
can neither look, walk or speak like n gen
tleman, and the most he will ever be able
to do will be to sit at some obscure desk
under a gallery and draw his pay"
Judging from surface indications
one might be led to believe that the
World man was suffering from a severe
case Of hillary calculus. That he has a
fierce and well-defned hatred of many Of
the appointees loaded upon the Territories
is quite apparent to even the casual OBJ
server, but he makes one mistake as do
all men who start in to write an unbridled
screed. There are honorable exceptions
to the rule of incompetent, vulgar and
criminally inefficient men who go Il make
up the list of Territorial a~ppointees, but
of these, Of course, he takes no notice.

JOHN r. MCLEAN, the youthful editor
Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, it is stated,
has closed the purchase of the New York
Star, heretofore the organ of Tnmmany
and the personal organ of John Kelly.
Mr.. Mclean made many unavailing efforts
to secure possession of the Chicago Times
since the demise of Mr.. Storey. He was
perfectly willing to pay over at once the
price at which the establishment is val
ued, 81, 900, 600, and the paper would
probably have passed into his hands but
for the fact that it will be tied up in the
courts for about three years to come. If
the report about the purchase of the Star
proves true, Mclean will be the second
Western man who has succeeded in cap
turing a metropolitan paper. Some time
ago Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the St
Louis Post Dispatch, secured possession
of the rather decropit New York World.
The paper now has a circulation Of
about 100, 900 Il day and Pulitzer
has already been elected to
Congress. Mclean has probably as keen
newspaper instincts as Any man in modern
journalism and could readily place the
Star in the van of the best American
-wspapers He is about IS years old
and besides his rich natural gifts is highly
accomplished and has travelled extensively.
He was especially educated by his father,
Wash Mclean, for newspaper work, and
the old gentleman, who used to W the
paper, made way for his son as soon as he
thought him capable of managing the
concern. Young Mclean served a rigid
apprenticeship in both the business and
editorial branches of newspaper work and
combines the rare qualities Of a brilliant
writer and shrewd business a

FACTS ABOUT TmE BEAVER.
some Interesting Observations Made by
Prof. samuel Aughey.

was written by Prof. Samuel Auchey.
Territorial Geolorist. The Professor is
| collecting material for a monograph on
this subject and desires to receive any facts
concerning this animal that may be in the
possession of d and others who
have observed his habits.
In the Summer of 1865, while resting
late on a cloudy, sultry afternoon near the
banks of a stream south ofthe Niobrara. in
| Northeastern Nebraska, | had the entif-
cation of seeing a singular beaver per-
formance. | was sitting on a fallen tree.
when | heard a peculiar noise oeer a rise
beyond me. Creeping to the ton of the
slight elevation. and p~eeping over. | saw
n dozen beavers rolling a small log or
thick pole of cottonwood in the direction
of a stream. A few were pulling in front,
but most of them were pushing from be-
hind. Finally they rolled the log into a
shallow depression, whose farther side
was much deeper than the side from
which they brought II. Their united
strength was insufficient to roll it out of
this depression, and it was most curious
to watch the various manoeuyres to nc
complish this purpose. First they cut off
about eighteen inches of the thick end.
and then made another attempt. and
again failed. Then they came together
almost in a circle as if for consultation
Suddenly they separated. went back to
the log, and rolled it about sixteen inches
back in the direction from which
they brought it. Five of the beavers
row went in front. stretched out their tails
towards the log. when those behind rolled
it on the tails of those in front. The five
beavers in front now pulled, those behind
pushed, and in a few minutes the log was
drawn out of the depression on to com
paratiyely smooth ground. When this
was ACCOMPLISHED the imprisoned tails III
front were released, and the tails were
handled and examined Ms if they were
hurt. Rolling was than resumed. This
satisfied me that the stories which | had
heard from trappers and Indians about
the beaver sometimes using his tail TO

The Homerton Hospitals Scandal.

Seldom has more fragrant corrup-
ton beer exposed than in The inquiry
which has Just been concluded into the
management of the Homerton Hospi-
tails. Never has stronger indictment
been framed against a system Of di-
vided responsibility and sham local
government than he evidence given
or the inquiry. The inquiry began
before three Commissioners OF the
Local Government, Board on April
22nd. 1t ended on July 23rd. When
ii did end, it ended rather because
every one concerned was sick of it,
than because the case had been tho
roughly siftcd to the bottom. No one
had control of the inquiry, 1t began
at The instanceofthe Metropolitan Asy-
Ium~ Board. But the only valuable
evidence was produced by Mr.. Lewis,
acting for the I>lington Board of
Guardians. 1t shifted from point to
point, from day to day, and was never
brought to any definite issue or con-
vertpd into a definite tria! OF distinct
issues. Enough evidence, however,
was discovered to show that ever auto
cratic Russia or aristocratic England
of the last century, or the debased
democracy of Tammany Hall, could
hardly beat the Homerton Hospital
authorities in mismanagement aud the
consequent corruption.
No n can be said to come we'll
out of the inquiry. The Metropolitan
Asvlums Board on whom the respon-
sibility of the management ultimately
and ostensibly rests, admitted that
they depu,ed the management entire
ly to a committee over which they OK.

most of the Southern division of the

the deficiency has been made good.
We fear the average yield for Au-

has been greatly aggravated during
the current month. The canes, how

to the. expense hat was going on.
Yet it was their business to sign
cheques for the various items Of ex-
penditure. They acted as the Trea-
Sury, but exercised none of that con-
troll or even criticism which the Trea-
sury is accustomed to exercise over
the items of expense submitted to its
notice. What is the result of this
method of devoIution without autlori-
ty3 In 1880 the Board expended
9373,0OO. In 1884 it expended
9557,O0O, and yet experts allege that
infectious diseases have been more
widespread in London since it was
started than before. In the case OF
the two HOmertnn hospitals the ex-
penditure rose from EGG, 900 in 1880,
to $4,000 in 1884. No doubt the
accommodation is much greater, but
the increase of expense is out of all
proportion to the increase of accom-
mediation, a. the expenses of manage
ment should be proportionateIy less
with q larger accommodation than a
smaller. The total expense at Ho-
merton per patient per day was 13s.

nnce of the staff was As. I'd. a day,

while ut S~tOckwelI the same expenses

The only wonder is that it was not
more considering the way things were
managed. The managing committee
used to dine or banquet on committee
days once a fortnight. What says a

subcommittee used to meet and dine
on other days. The chairman used to
visit and take a little refreshment, and
occasionally dine. In one menu put
in, turtle soup formed an item, with
other expensive Iuxuries. Even de-
sert was not forgotten. "Grapes were
placed on the table as a general rule
