Advices from Albany are to the effect that
Maynard is consulting anxiously with Senator
Murphy in reference to ways and means to
secure his election. and that the Democratic

election return would jump at a chance to buy

Luckily the BallotReform law opposes seri-

FRANCES NEU MOVE IN SIAM.

There is no occasion for surprise. or even
for any special indignation at what France is
now doing in Siam. She is doubtless acting
unjustly, depressing weaker nation. breaking
faith. and disregarding international ethics
All that is true. But it was all equally true
few weeks ago, when she actively began hcl
sp0lation of Siam. Her present conduct is
only the logical sequel to her conduct then,
with the quasi justification of the IMMUNITY she
then enjoyed and the success she then attained
To her first exorbitant demands Siam promptly
and Internationally yielded, because she could
not help herself, and no other Power would
help her. Why should not France now make
further demands? Siam is no better able to
resist them than she was. nor is any other
Power more likely t. interfere. 1t is merely
an illustration of the old saying: Siam gives
an inch. and France takes an ell.
The interesting feature of the case is the
sorry figure cut by England. That Power is.
far more than any other, concerned in the in
tegrity of Siam, or in the disposition to be made
OF that country when it's independence falls
1t was TO England that Siam looked for aid.
and there was indeed some general eXpecta-
tion that England would in some way check
the rapacity Of France. But not by act or by
word did England in the slightest degree assist
Siam in her brief struggle with France. She
did not save her one cent Of money or one
rood of land. She did not spare her any de-
gree of humiliation. Slams settlement with
France was IN no respect easier than it would
have been had no such Power as England ex-
listed in the world.
1t is probable that England intended to let
France take such share of Siam as she want
ed. and then, in due time. take what remained
for herself. Indications Of this purpose have
not been lacking, and indeed certain intima-
tons of it were put forward. as if to quiet
those critics of the Government who COM
planned of it's cowardly inacton And there
was in certain quarters considerable deal of
exutation over what was called Englands
diplomatic triumph. 1t was triumph greatly
like that of the man who, after watching from
. trapdoor in the loft his wife do battle with

POSTMASTER DAYTONS PROCEEDINGS IN THE
FACE OF LEGAL DECISIONS.
Postmaster Charles w. Dayton. who Is also Gus
todian Of the Federal Building, yesterday sent the
following letter to John l. Davenport Chief Federal
Supervisor of Elections
"Agreeably to instructions this day received By
me from the Secretary OF the Treasury. you are
hereby notified and requested to vacate rooms NOS.
IA 176 and It's now occupied by you In the United
States Courthouse and Postofice Building IN TINS
CITY and to deliver possession thereof to me on or
before September 1, 1885,
The instructions referred to were received from
Acting Secretary c. S. Hamilton. in consequences
of efforts made by Mr.. Dayton, who wants TO
shift around several of the occupants OF rooms
in the building The Postmaster wishes to move
the Inquiry Department into the room on tho
second floor now used by the Railway Mail Ser
vice officials These Mr.. Dayton would have go TO
rooms Nos 1872 1874 and 1856, on the fourth MOOR IN
which the records of the United States Circuit
Court are kept The plan is TO get Mr.. Shields.
clerk of the court, to move the tens OF thousands
of documents UP to the fifth floor TO the rooms now
occupied by Mr.. Davenport. All these changes are
contemplated. therefore, only that the Inquiry De-
parment should have another room, Its present
one being exactly as large and conveniently
situated the one wanted for it.
The letter for Mr. Davenport was left at the
Union League Club but he was not there 1t is
hard to see what led Mr.. Dayton to take this
step. for only a few months ago United States
Judge Addison Brown. decided that the Treasury
Department was merely the caretaker or jantor
Of the building and had shadow of right to cause
officials to move out of which they occupied.
The opinion was given in the suit OF Samuel II.
Lyman clerk of the United States District Court
to restrain General Sharpe, of the Board of APP.
praisers, from taking possession Of the rooms In
which records of the court were kept. General
Sharpe had obtained order from the Secretary
OF the Treasury in his favor.
When John Sherman was Secretary OF the Treas
ury he tried to get Mr.. Davenport's room for the
Internal Revenue Service but Attorney-General
Devens gave opinion sustaining Mr.. Daven-
port's claim The Supervisor OF Elections was APP
pointed by Judge Woodruff of the United States
Circuit Court and is an officer OF the court.

ing folk. lie considers the fluctuations in their
daily wages during the last six centuries, anu
the simultaneous fluctuations in the cost or Drca"
and meat. Then, computing the amount OF such
food required for the sustenance OF an average
family he shows what relation its cost bears 10
the wages earned by the head Of the family, and
what proportion Of the wages remains for rent,
clothing, and other purposes. An attempt is also
made. if not to explain the causes Of fluctuations
at eas. - indicate the circumstances under when
they occurred Thus down TO 1850, under the
villainage system, the agricultural aborer did not
receive half enough to buy bread ard meat for his
family while the carpenter had to pay for such
food fully half OF his wages. Then the wage ana
guild systems came in, with steady Improvement
for both of these classes. down to 1910; that is to
say, wages rose more rapidly than the cost oil
food. though neither showed remarkable increase
With the beginning Of transoccanic trade and the
decay OF the guilds great changes occurred
Wages rose greatly and so did tho cost Of bread;
and while the carpenter earned more than enough
for food the margin left diminished, and in
the case Of the agricultural laborcr it was often
altogether lost. From go 70 1860, however,
Improvement was marked The cost OF
food remained nearly stationary, with
the farmhands wages little above it. and
with the carpenters wages climbing steadily
until y handsome space was left between them
Thence on TO 1885 the wages of both classes
rose rapidly with sharp decline at the end
of the period and the cost Of bread rose until
it absorbed all the earnings Of the agricultural
lab:,rer Since then there has been general
increase of wages ard decline in the cost
Of food until now, Mr.. Stefcn recIons. III"

wages for his family's bread and meat. though

cost Of clothing, rent, and other things equally

TUO NOTEUORTHY STORMS.

Twice within week the weather has fur
nisbed to the eastern coast OF this country a
subject for wonder and twice IN that time
the Weather Bureau of the United States
has splcnddly indicated itself. The violent
storm which came upon the southern coast on
Sunday night and after devastating georgia
in the form of hurricane rushed northward,
spreading itself and making Tor the ~ Law
renee River territory, was foretoid long IN ad-
vance. As early as Friday we were warned
by the Weather Bureau that a hurricane was
gathered in the Atlantic five hundred miles
east of Florida. On Saturday the hurricane
was reported to be nearer TO flofida' On
Sunday morning it was directly OIL that coast,
and the official bulletins gave notice that 1t
would come landward that evening. Georgia
was unfortunate enough to receive the bolster
Gus and unwclcOme visitor at the threshold.
That evening it came down with terrific
msh. II made havoc with the beautiful city
of savannah and its suburbs. Whirlng along
the coast it wrecked shipping, laid low vegcta-
ton and swept bare cultivated fields. Then
swiftly leaving the Atlantic, it swept on to
the north and west, seeking In canada an
outlet to the sea. 1t was in that region last
nj ght.
Between the hurricane OF yesterday and that
which preceded it by only few days there
was a striking difference in one respect The
first storm was essentially transform accom-
paned by violent winds which did great dam
age. The storm for the season OF the year
was uncommon; the rainfall in quantity was
extraordinary. The successor TO this hurricane,
was almost solely one OF terrific wind the fall
of rain was so slight as to be almost unworthy
of consideration While in the one case people
could find consolation in the thought that Il
parched and suffering country was receiving
relief in floods from the skies, though the
handwork of man was being torn and crushed,
in the other they could count only devastation
with no apparent recOmpcnse. One was
fierce storm bringing with it benefits III
strange way, the other was ruthless destroyer.
Specially remarkable about these two great
storms of a week is the fact that they both
came from the West Indies. >ually hurr-
canes which are born thcrcabOut 90 curvIng
to the east and are lost on the Atlantic. II Is
rare that they sweep down upon the coast oil
this country. Both these hurricanes. how
ever, turned westward and northward.
Both wrought great damage on The
Atlantic Coast And - the shining credit
of the Weather Bureau officials early warn
ngs were sounded by them about both. We
were told days before they came that thcy
