THE New York Herald is evidently of the
opinion that Sir John Macdonald takes it reg
ularly and uses it as his guide instead of the
laws Of the Dominion. On Wednesday the
Herald paraded the following choleric head
lines: "Riel Respited." "Public Opinion
Conquers the Arrogant Premier" "He
Dare not Hang Him" 'victory
of the New York Herald in its Fight against a
Tyrant, and so on. The Inconsistency of this
bloodthirsty headline did not seem to daunt
him, for after he had shown that it was pub
lie opinion" that had conquered the arrogant
Premier" he blandly arrogates the "victory"
of the eight against tyrant" to the New
York Herald! The chances are that Riel will
yet be hanged, but if he is not it would be
tie sublimity Of impudence for the Herald to
claim any influence in the matter.

THE Chicago Tribune, formerly one of the
rankest, solidest free-trade papers in the coun-
try, has evidently received an access of in
formation. In its yesterdays issue it says:
"There are two conventions now in session
in this city. One of them is composed Of
gentlemen who are agitating for revenue re-
form with all that the question implies. The
other, which is complex affair of several
wheels within a wheel, is agitating for pure
butter, good cheese, unquestionable eggs,
blooded bulls milky Mothers strong and
swift horses, sheep that can furnish the most
fine wool to the square inch and the best
mutton, and hogs that, by mysterious pro-
cesses of porcine evolution, can give us pork
without a suspicion of the trichina spiralis
or any other parasite. OF these two con-
ventions it is but truth to say that the popu
lar interest centers in the one which has for
its purpose the illustration of the fat stock
show. Tie free-traders show suffers in the
compe ton. One reason for the popular
apathy is that the show has been thoroughly
thrashed. Another reason is that we are liv-
ing in an ocean of free trade, extending from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada
to Mexico. AS only about one-tenth of the
commerce OF the country is affected by the
tariff, and the other nine tenths, comprising
the huge interstate traffic is run on the abso-
Lutte principles of free trade, the general pub
lie does not take much interest in the question
of tariffs. If our thirty eight States were sep
arated from each other by trade barriers, and
their frontiers were lined with custom houses,
the question agitated by the Hershey Hall
reformers would have a vital interest. The
other convention, however, is discussing ques-
tions of practical interest that appeal to popu-
luar sympathy. People care more for good
butter, cheese, eggs, poultry, beef, pork, NUT
ton and strong, fast horses than they do for
abstract questions in finance and political
economy, upon which the experts themselves
cannot agree"

| "MR. SALTONSTALL, though Democrat, is
mugwump in every fibre of his body. He
| is the kind of man in every way which no
| lifelong Democrat likes to see in Office, be-
cause he will neither lie, steal, get drunk nor
neglect his duties nor let others neglect
theirs, for politics."
The above paragraph is taken from the New
York Evening Post. 1t is evidently in that
frame of mind, wrought up by chagrin, that
i t would bite itself if it could. If the "stab"
at the Democratic party contained in this
spiteful paragraph conveys the real sentiment
of the mugwump toward it, it only goes to
prove that the mugwump is very inconsist-
ent. spiteful and hypocritical creature. The
Democratic party has not changed an iota in
its essential characteristics during the last
twenty years. The nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land, forced upon it, did not alter it's nature
The same men are in it, the same influences
predominant in its action. AS an organiza-
ton it is just as hungry" just as ''thirsty'
now as it was eighteen months or eighteen
years ago. The election of Mr.. Hill was in
terpreted just as the mugwumps said it would
be-the rank and file of Democracy believed
it to be in the nature of rebuke, and from
the New York World down the Democratic
press did not hesitate to say so, and not a few
of them have added insult to injury by nom
mating already ticket for 1888 in which the
name of Mr.. Cleveland does not appear. The
very respectable and very good mugwumps
know that the Democratic party is party Of
spoils. They knew so in 1884 They knew
that Cleveland alone stood between that party
and an unrestrained rush of ignorant and
vicious men upon the public Offices, so ably
and so conscientiously filled by Republicans
They knew that in the event of the death of
Cleveland during his term of office his sue
cessor would be Thomas A. Hendricks, who
has so often proclaimed his contempt for any
and all laws that stand in the way of clean
and sudden sweep. Spitefu!ly and maliciously
the mugwumps went over to the aid of this
corrupt organization because they could not
have everything just as they wished it in
the Republican party. They demanded
pharisaical perfection, and because
they did not get it, stultifed themselves and
gave the lie to their sincerity by associating
with and assisting men who, according to the
Posts insinuation, 'lie, steal, get drunk and
neglect their duties" 1t was the most shame
full betrayal Of friends and trusting fellow
partisans ever Known in American politics.
There is nothing strange in the fact that
many of the Republicans who had seen their
party betrayed by them should revolt against
their so soon resuming dictatorial powers in
the organization. The Democratic party sue
ceeded in New York in the last election only
because of the impudent and unwarranted in
reference of these men. Men who can DELHI
erately aid q party such as they describe the
Democratic party to be, and in twelve months
afterwards boldly come back and undertake
to run things in the old organization that
honest men did not forsake, are not the kind
TO make a campaign popular.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR.

According to the report of the
Special Deputy Collector, the i'm
ports of raw sugar at San Francisco,
from the Hawaiian Islands for the
year ending 30th June last, amount
ed to 169, ,591 900 pounds, the
largest quantity from these islands
for any corresponding twelve months
previous. For the five years ending
with the same date, the Hawaiian Isl
ands sent 5S4 ,269,716 pounds, while
the aggregate quantity from all other
sources in the same time, was &c.
209, 1874. Comparing 1S84-S5 with
1SS0-S1, the quantity was more
than doubled. The crop for the
current year will probably be still
larger, as there are favorable re-
ports from all the plantations. The
crop never looked better, the
acreage is greater, and methods are
more economical than ever before.

IRRIGATION.

1t is claimed that a thoroughly
developed system of irrigation will
add to the agricultural wealth of the
State of California 100000, 900
annually. On this subject, the S.
II. Bulletin says: ''Heretofore irri-
cation has been mainly applied to
fruit and vegetable culture, but with
the increase of small holdings and
the prosecution of diversified indus
tries, its value will be more fully
developed. The result of thorough
cultivation, and abundanb water
supply. in connection with the fer
tile soil and the steady heat of the
valleys of California, will, in the
future, be almost beyond the limits
of cool calculation. The same
words apply with even greater force
to the Hawaiian Islands, and es-
pecially to Oahu. Its products, in
the future, may be increased a
THOUSAND fold by similar means. A
widespread system of irrigation and
the influx of large bodies of indus
trious inhabitants are all that this
island wants to convert the mythical
gardens of the Hesperides in solid
realities.

The war cloud in the east seems
TO have lifted for the present. Ne
gotations between Great Britain and
Russia have advanced to point at
which both parties express them
selves pretty well satisfied. Russia,
however, has not receded from her
position in Afghanistan, and prob
ably does not intend to. England on
the other hand, though. wildly ex-
cited at the news of the Russian
advance some six months ago, has,
after sober reflection. arrived at the
conclusion that her Indian Empire
has nothing to fear from the move
ments of Russian troops in the At
CHAN territories. Steps have been
taken to secure the tranquility of
her Indian subjects whatever the
Gar and the Ameer may do. While
negotiations have been in progress,
the defences of the northern 'front.'
iers of India were being strengthen
ed, and are now considered impreg-
nable. This being the case very
likely accounts for the apparent in
difference with which the old lion
contemplates the movements of his
adversary in the east.
