CANADIAN EGGS.

The statement is made that Canadian eggs,
which at one time found market in the
United States, have been turned by the new
tariff in the direction of England. 1t is
also stated that the English find the Cana
dian egg so much superior to the ordinary
American egg that hereafter they will eat
Canadian eggs exclusively. The English
market is, therefore. practically closed to
American eggs. The owner of American
hens will now proceed to count up his losses
by this diversion of the egg trade. The
first item in his calculation will be the obvi-
Gus fact that he now supplies the American
market with eggs Canadian hens formerly
supplied. 1t will be difficult for the free
trader to figure out much loss by this
change. The Canadian egg assumes the cost
and expense of transportation. 1t takes
the chances of a market which is partially
supplied from other sources, and which may
consequently be oyerStocked at times. The
American egg is eaten on the ground. The
producer gets for it all it costs the con-
sumer. Fair average prices can be main
tanned by holding back the product for few
days when the supply is excessive. The
Canadian egg preferred tie American mar
ket as long as it was open on even terms
with American eggs. Its second choice is
the English market, and it wisely tries to
convince itself that the second choice is bet
ter than the first

a PRETTY TOUGH CROWD.

4 morning contemporary, noted for the
alacrity with which it comes to the support
Cf every project TO increase the burdens of
taxpayers, has arrived at the conclusion
that the so-called slurians are a pretty
cough crowd, and are likely tc live a long
tine So far as prolonged life is concerned
The Siurans are likely to oUtliye the cranky
lTogressiyes who propose to set the bond
mil at work for the benefit of the specula-
tors. The silurians are lodged in the clause
Of the State Constitution which prohibits
The creation of debt without submitting
the proposition to the people, and which
requires payments to commence the year
after the bonds are issued. BY virtue OF
this provision the pinch will be felt by the
property-holders about as soon as the money
obtained by the sale of bonds is distributed
The condition of older American cities is a
silent argum ent in favor of maintaining the
policy the so-called silurians have estab-
lished. All the principal American cities
are in debt up to the limit allowed by their
several State constitutions. In order to in
crease their debts they have to increase
the assessed value Of their property. San
Francisco alone of all these American cities
is practically free from debt Its entire
revenue is at the disposal of the authorities.
1t has built its school-houses, its City Hall,
court-houses and other public institutions
ont of current revenues. 1t has not left
anything undone that really needed to be
done. A rich field now awaits the crafty
b0odlers who can break down the barr iers
the property have erected around
The City Treasury. There are crevices in
their protecting walls through which petty
boOdlers get their hands into the public
money chest, but SO far their pilferings are
comparatively light. The most liberal mu-
nicipal government in the United States is
conducted on cash principles. OF course
this desirable condition viii not be pre-
served without effort. The city could easily
float bonded debt of SIS, 900, co. and there
would be rich pickings for the enterprising
bOOdlerS who might secure the handling of it.

known that large proportion of the AL
lance members opposed the formation of
third party. They held that the measures
they advocated could best be promoted
through action on the national parties. The
convention which is called to meet at st.
Louis on the 18th of September is expected
to oppose what is known as the SubTreas-
ury plan. With this feature eliminated
from the Alliance platform, there is little
that would not receive favorable considera-
ton from one or both of the national par
ties. The Sub Treasury plan has been
shown to be so utterly impracticabie that lew
farmers now favor it.

THE INDEPENDENTS.

The party variously known as the Farm
erS' Alliance, the Peoples party and the
Independents met in convention at Hast
ings, Nebr., on Tuesday, and adopted a
platform, which makes several issues with
both the old parties. One of these issues
is the proposition to authorize the Govern
ment to loan money to private individuals;
another, the Government control of rail-
roads, steamships, telegraphs and tele-
phones; third, a service pension and pen
sions for prisoners of war; fourth, the
forfeiture of land held by aliens. After
these somewhat radical resolutions. decla-
ration in favor of free coinage Of silver and
another calling for the retirement of bank
notes and the substitution of legal tenders
seemed mild leading.

THE HOME FEELING,

The occupation of one country by the mill
tary forces of another is apt to lead to con-
ficts, both parties to which are apparently
in tie right The execution of the Manipur
princes in India is case in point. The
princes rebelled against established author
ity, and established authority put them to
death. Their execution was entirely legal.
1t may also be said that from the English
point Of view IL was necessary. If these
princes had not been executed, their exam
pie might be followed by other princes.
The people Of India are not reconeiled to
English rule. IL they are told that the Eng
llsh give them a better government than
they could give themselves, the answer is
that they do not want better government
than they can give themselves. They pre-
fer to work out their own redemption
They are especially disinclined to accept
redemption at the hands of a race which
VIGOROUSLY undertakes good works for the
profit that can be made out of them. Eng
land has made great deal OF money out of
the government of India, and the people
the English have enslaved do not credit
their cOnquerors with phlanlhropic mo.
fiveS. The greed Of the invader is much
more apparent in its methods of govern
ment than any desire to extend over the
people the blessings OF good government
The several nations of Europe are now
showing disposition to elevate Africans as
the English have elevated the Hindoos. A
desire TO profit by Africa's trade will be OBJ
scured under pretense of giving the people
Of that continent better government than
they can give themselves. There is feeling
also that the Africans have not yet dis
covered the kind of religion best ada pied to
Their advancement, and this feeling justifies
the exercise of the assumed right to take
them In charge. These movements against
The Independent existence of nations infe-
rior to those of Europe in the science of
war are but thinly disguised exercise of
the principle that might makes right Bat
ties are now fought in gun factories The
weapon that can Kill its man at the greatest
distance is the principal arbi ter in deter
mining the result of a war.

It's n Mapfa Now,

The mania for suicide by leaping into the
bay from the ferry steamer Newark has
grown SO strong that no sooner does a
woman walk 10 the rail unattended that
every man within fifty feet of her makes a
wild rush for her. A case of this kind oc-
CURED yesterday morning, when a young
woman found herself rudely seized by a
couple of men, who, in spite of her struggles,
took her into the cabin and persisted in
keeping guard over her for the remainder of
the trip If the mania continues much
longer it would pay the company to place a
wire netting all around the outside of the
boats in such a manner as to prevent any
one leaping into the bay. 1t would do away
also with tine trouble of watching suspicious
looking young women, to say nothing of the
stopping Of the steamer and the lowering a

istra,ion declared step toward bimetal-
lsm, which is favored. As Pennsylvania
has been ciassed on this question with the
gold States the conclusion is reasonable that
the party generally are satisfied with the
purchase of the entire product of the silver
mines of the country and the issuance of
Treasury notes against it at market value.
The platform indorses the administration,
and expresses the hope that the National
Convention will nominate Blaine for Presi-
dent If nominated unanimously the con-
ventiOn considers his election sure.
