family of New York. Miss Davidson of
Boston tarried here few days to look

pancy. This and the Smith house near it
are worthy of mention, both being of Queen

mountain and water combined making it
quite unequalled in this part of the coun-

TBP GOVEBNOR UNAfAsKS HIMSELF

Some OF the thick and-thin organs of Governor
Hill have the assurance to contend that he has
not been plotting since election to count out
Republican Legislators who received a plurality
of all the votes cast in their respective districts
They pretend to believe that he has merely been
laboring TO secure fair play for Democratic can,
didates for the Legislature When one rmem-
berS the frauds which the Governor has been
backing in DutchesS, in Onondaga and other
counties this sort of talk on the part of his organs
seems most preposterous Nothing is clearer to
the intelligent and reputable citizens of the Com
monwealth than that David b. Hill has for weeks
been intent upon securing Democratic ma
iority in the Senate by foul means.
Nay, more he has virtually confessed that
his interest in the conteStedelectOn cases is not
the patriotic interest of Chief Magistrate de-
temined that the will of the electors as expressed
at the baot-box should prevail, but the interest
of an unscrupulous partisan. We gay that he
has virtually confessed this; let rs see if he
hasn't. What was the politics of the two County
Clerks whom he lately removed? They were
both Republicans. Why did he tuin them ont
of office? Because as he claimed, they had been
unfaithfu insubordinate-the fact being that
they had commended themselves to his displeas-
ure simply by refusing to certify to bogus re-
turns. In place of the decapitated clerk OF
Dutchess County he appointed a Democrat named
Emans. And yet i'll face of the notorious fact
that Emans has been guilty of worse offence
than the one which was imputed to his prede-
cessor by the Governor, he is not summoned to
Albany for removal, but is allowed to remain
undsturbed in his Office. In defiance alike ef the
direction of the Board Of County Canvassers and
of an order issuing from the Supreme Court, the
Democratic Clerk Of Dutchess neglects to for
ward to the Secretary of State the certificate Of
Mr.. Deane's election. Mark the contrast. Hoff-
man (Rep) disobeys an unlawful direction Of
the Canvassers and is removed Emans (Dem)
disobeys not only lawful direction of the Can
yassers, but an order Of Supreme Court Judge,
and is protected. In view Of these crcum-
stances, it is folly to pretend that Hills interest
in the election cases is patriotic and unselish.
lie is aiming, not at securing just determina-
ton Of the disputed elections, but at partisan
success at any cost, standing ready 10 condone
any scheme, however vile, which seems TO serve
his purpose.
In the circumstances, the attempt to show that
Hills motives are honorable is the last expression
of folly There is not a repeater or balot-box
stpser that has more clearly demonstrated his

TILE OUEREC CRISIS.

The dismissal of the MERCER Ministry in Que
bee revves a grave constitutional controversy
and promotes political agitation against the Con-
federation The Conservative Governments at
Ottawa has eerted It's power through political
ally. the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, to re-
move a Liberal Ministry on the strength OF
report of special commission on railway scan
da. A Conservative Ministry has been Writ
ually organized with MIR. De Bouohervllle as
Premier which will have to face strong Liberal
majority in the Provincial Parliament. Hostile
votes will follow and the dissolution OF the
Legislature will involve most exciting election
in which the full power OF the Dominion 6ov-
ernment will be exerted to secure the permanent
retirement of Mr.. Mercier and the defeat OF tha
Liberal party in Quebec.
This intervention of the Ottawa Government
in Provincial affairs practically deprves Quebec
of local autonomy. The Mercier Ministry is dis
missed, although it is supported by Parliament
elected by the people of the Province. Ii an
other Liberal Parliament be elected after the
approaching dissolution Mr.. MERCER will be re-
turned to power: and then the Lieutenant-Goy-
ernor will probably be at liberty to remove him
q second time on the strength of supplementary
fepOfO Dy dIOtHcr Colhhhooioh Vh '""' S~S VI w
uption. Apparently there are under the Con-
federation no limitations upon the power OF the
Ottawa Government to harass political opponents
in the Provinces and 10 suspend the normal func-
tons of legislative autonomy. What is most
nec,liar in this constitutional controversy is the
embarrassment under which Mr. Mercier will
labor in discussing it. Thirteen years ago Mr. DE
Boucherville, who now succeeds him. was re-
moved from office under similar circumstances.
As Mr.. NIercier was then the political adviser
of the Lieutenant-G overnor and became Premier,
1t will now be difficult for him TO raise the con-
stimtional question.
Mr. Mercier is most adroit and popular lead
er and has we-organized party behind him.
II he can succeed in making good defence
against the charges OF corrupt administration
and in convincing the voters of Quebec that he
is the victim of political persecution instigated
by opponents in the Dominion Government ne
will be restored to the Premiership. lie IS
nominaly Nationalist, who has taken an ag-
gressive stand against the encroachments OF the
Dominion Government. He is also known to
look more favorably upon the policy OF annexa-
ton to the United States than any other po-
Htical leader in Canada. The impending strug-
gle in Quebec for his restoration to power is an
event in which Americans are very deeply con-
carned

ADMIRABLE APPOINTMENTS.

The appointment of Mr. Ekins as Secretary
of War is one which will greatly strengthen the
Administration. He not only has wide ln1u-
ence as a party leader Of unrvalled authority
but he has also the practical qualities and force
of character which are required for conducting
one of the great departments of the Administra-
ton. Mr. Elkins is one of the few men in public
life who have a thorough knowledge Of the co,in-
try as a whole. Born in Ohio, actively engaged
in mining and stock interests in the Far West,
having important business connections in the
East and being identified with the development
of the resources of the New South, he has a
comprehensive acquaintance with the practical
requirements of every section of the Union. lie
will be in the largest sense representative OF
the Nation rather than of any State or section.
His Judgment on all public questions considered
bv the Cabinet will be sagacious and free from
sectional narrowness. His executive ability Is
of the highest quality, so that in the War De-
partment he will be a worthy successor to Secre-
tarv Proctor. who has left behind him remark
able reputation for efficiency and mastery OF
details.
Mr.. Elhns has not been honored with this
appointment on the strength of his claims as a
politician. A lawyer by profession and sue
cessful business man, he has had comparatively
little leisure during his busy career for what Is
ordinarily known as the business of politics.
He has held important offices, such as United
States District Attorney and Representative in
Congress for two terms but while he has never
shirked the responsibilities of public duty, he
has ordinarily preferred to keep out of politics
so far as possible and to devote his time and
energy to his mining and railway interests. While
he is most favorably known from New-York to
San Francisco as a keen yet conservative busl-
ness man, he has exerted great influence in the
National councils of his party. As stanch
supporter of President Harrison in the last can
vass and an intimate personal friend OF the
Secretary of State, he will be most useful mem
Der of harmonious Cabinet, and will strengthen
in every way public confidence in the Admins
tration
The Presidents appointments for six OF the
new judicial circuits to be commended as
satisfactory in every respect. By selecting two
eminent Democrats Mr.. Putnam, of Maine and
Mr. Dallas of Pennsylvania, when he was at
liberty to appoint six instead of four Repub-
licans. he has given a practical demonstration OF
non -partisanship which will be heartily applaud
ed by all impartial minds in the country. Three
Of the selections, those of Judges Shipman, Woods
and Taft. involve promotion on the bench, and
that is Civil-Service reform of the most practical
kind. General Goffs appointment is con-
spicuousIy good one. Every one of the Judges
is well known for uprightnesS and ability Bet
fer nominations were never made for the Fed
eral bench.

THE FACT ABOUT EXPORTS.


The Free Traders assert that Protection sup
presses exports. Facts weigh more than the
ories, and the value of exports in November was
greater than in any other month in the history
Of the country. But exactly the same had been
said with truth of the exports in October, when
the value for the first time exceeded 100000
0OO in any month. In November Judging from
the shipments of the principal products the ag-
gregate viii be not far from S10S 600, 600, about
fve millions greater than in October and nine
millions greater than in any other month TAX
ing October and November together the value
Of exports in those months was probably greater
by $23, 600, 900, or more than 10 per cent, than
the value in any other two consecutive months
in the Nations history.
The figures for November are in part est
mated, but the variations from month to month
in the aggregate Of the minor items il so small
comparatively that a close estimate can be made
with safety when the value of the principal prod
ucts is known. The following shows the value
exported in November from the principal ports
only of cotton, breadsthfs, provisions cattle and
hogs and petroleum, in comparison with reports
for the same points last year:

Our Health officials take a hopeful view re-
garding the "grip," Of which few caset have
occurred in the city this winter. They declare
with considerable emphasis that there is no cpl
demc, and DR.. Tracy feels sure that there will
not be a third epidemic Of the disease. DIR.
Edison, however, is not quite so sanguine, and
thinks that unfavorable climatic conditions will
be likely to cause periodical outbreaks Of the in
fuenza. The wise thing for everybody, now
that winter is really with us at last, is to avoid
all exposure and keep in as good bodily con-
dition as possible. These precautions may not
ward off the grip" but they will help those
attacked to withstand it successfully.
