A ,STINGY PARENT.

An event has just occurred in London which
bids fair to revolutionize the loyalty of the
Australian Colonies toward England. Much of
this loyalty has, perhaps unconsciously, been
based upon the belief that the good old Mother
Country was always pleased and ready to ad-
vance little fresh pocket money to grease the
wheels of colonial life. Unfortunately, this lib
erality on the part of the parent country has
become a thing of the past, and the London
money market, which opens its arms with such
reckless hberality to bankrupt States in South
America, has now practically closed its doors
against the great and prosperous Australian
Colonies of Great Britain.
lgnominious failure met the efforts OF the
Bank of England ten days ago when it attempt
ed to float a Queensland Government loan OF
$40, OOO 900, the subscriptions barely amount
ing to one million dollars. Similar disaster has
crowned the recent efforts of the Government;
of Victoria and South Australia to dispose Of
three and-a-half per cent Understanding bonds
on the banks of the Thames, and the indigna-
ton throughout Australia is extreme No words
appear too hard in the Antipodes for the Eng
lish Just at present, and the manifold disad-
yantages of integral connection with State
forming part of the old European system as
sumo more and more formidable proportions II

pRnGRESS IN THE BAHAMAS.

The increasing prosperity of the Bahamas is
to be ascribed in large measure to the intelli-
gence and sound judgment displayed by the
Governor, Sir Ambrose Shea. When he went
to Nassau he found the expenditures OF the
islands in excess of the revenues, the sponge
and salt industries declining, and the population
discontented and unemployed In the course
of few years he has converted the deficit into
a surplus, introduced a new industry OF great

ing report by Consul Mcl4ain published in one

the remarkable progress made under the Gov
errors administration. The trade of the
islands is increasing al the rate of 100000 a
year. The new industry, sisal OF Bahama
hemp, is still in tentative stage, but large
tracts of barren land have been converted into
farms, investments OF capital have been made
by Joseph Chamberlain and MANY other Eng.
lishmen and Canadians, and there are the
strongest reasons for expecting an enormous
production of fibre OIL the islands within five
years. Sir Ambrose Shea is q magician. lie

Governor Hills earnest devotion to Civil
Service Reform is conspicuously illustrated by
little incident at Albany this week Not
long ago he secured control of the Insurance
Department by getting rid of Superintendent
Maxwell, a capable official, and appointing ex-
Senator Pierce In his place. But 20 get rid of the
clerks In the office and supply their places with
solid Hill men. was an almost equally difficult
operation. Mr.. Hill has accomplished it, how
ever, by practically abolishing the Civil-Service
rules. That is, he has caused stenographers and
typewrtem to be placed in the non-competitve
class, which properly covers assistant heads OF
departments and confidential positions Thait
leaves the selection of all subordtntes IN Tie
hands Of the Superintendent, and, of course,
only stenographers and typewriters" who are
warranted to do Hill service will hereafter be
employed.

the baccarat case has gained new title to admira-

The defence in the latest murder trial in this
city was that the prisoner committed his
crime when insanely drunk. 1t is creditable
fact that the jury took only twelve minutes to
find the man guilty. Drunkenness should never
be successfully pleaded as an excuse for wrong
doing. When jurles were more tender-hearted
than they are to-day. however, such defence
was more than once successfully made, even in
the case of serious charges. 1t Is satisfaction
to see jury take the right view of the matter.
A man who gets drunk Is responsible for doing 80,
and should be held legally responsible for his
conduct while intoxicated.

Baseball has reached a situation of remark
able interest. Thus far this week the New
York and Chicago clubs have maintained their
relative positions, one notch apart, but yesber-
day New-York was ia winner, while Chicago
suffered bad defeat at the hands of Boston,
thus placing the two leading clubs side by side
As they are to cross bats to-day at the Polo

The opponents Of genuine temperance reform
should take notice that the Excise Reform Asso-
citation of this city has just been incorporated
and is preparing TO continue its excellent work on
genuinely business-like basis. It's purpose is
TO promote the passage Of more stringent excise
laws, to establish an excise system which shall
impose adequate regulations upon the sale of
LIQUOR, and TO secure the proper enforcement OF
excise laws and regulations. After this year
David B. Hill will no longer stand like lion
in the path of Excise reform, and with Re-
publican Governor and Republican Legislature
there will be a bright prospect of legislation which
will accomplish the object that the Excise Reform
Association has in view. The Democratic
friends of the liquor-dealers will do all IN their
power to prevent the passage of a restrictive law.
Hence the importance OF electing a Republican
Governor and securing a good Republican major
ity in both branches of the Legislature.
