AN OCEAN HORROR.

The loss of the British battle ship
Victoria last week, with over 400
of her officers and crew, was an APP
palling disaster, and the thrill OF
horror which swept through Eng
land on receipt Of the news has been
felt also in other countries. The
Victoria was heavily-armoured
vessel and the calamity occurred
while that and other ships were in
somewhat close quarters and were
attempting to turn and fall into
double line by direction of the COM
mandng officer. A misunders .and-
ing of orders on the part of the Off
GERS of the Camperdown resulted in
collision between that vessel and
the Victoria, the Prov of the former
crashing into the latter and sinking
her within few moments with the
majority of all on board.
Responsibility for the disaster is
alleged to rest on Rear Admiral
Markham, who is to be court-mar-
tailed. The fixing of the respon-
sibility, however, will not make
amends for the fearful sacrifice of
human life.

wholly devoid of cant, in endeavor-
ing to show how the morals OF a
community may be affected by good
or bad roads. He argues that as,
in the rural districts especially, at
tendance at church or the public
schools is seriously interfered with
by bad roads, the establishment of a
system of highways so substantial
as to be but slightly affected by the
weather would conduce to more
general attendance at the churches
and at our educational institutions,
and so strengthen the morals of the
community.
The important part which poor
roads play in the result at the polls
on election day is familiar to most
people, as is also the anxiety which
politicians feel regarding the state of
the weather and its effect on the
roads at such times; and the writer
in question deems it not unlikely
that bad roads have often stood in
the way of public moral advance
ment because they have kept voters
away from their duty on election
day. Another point he makes thus:
"No one doubts that civilization, and
with it moral culture, goes with free,
developed society. There may well be
over-crowding that leads to immortality,
but the higher life that comes from con-
tact with refined people, as well as many
of the agents of refinement and culture,
in the noblest sense of that abused
word, cannot be developed in solitude or
in crude halfformed society. Our
country people suffer more than they or
Others are aware from isolation. Good
roads, that would permit neighbors liv-
ing five or ten miles apart readily to visit
one another, whatever the season OF the
year, would remove this evil"
1t cannot be denied that, in strict
ly farming communities, poor roads
have a depressing effect on the
church, school and social life, and
that if this evil can be remedied a
marked change for the better is
made not only possible but prob
able, However weighty the argu-
ments on the economic side of this
question, there is much also to be
found and said from the point Of
view taken by the Congregation
lists writer If improved roads will
thus tend to the development Of a
moral culture among that large por-
ton Of our people who are destined
to dwell in rural sections, certainly
no one will cry out as against the
agitation, which is now so wide
spread, in favor of better highways;
and the advocate of the moral side
but gives additional force to the
economic argument for more rapid
and easy communication between
towns.

MORALS AND GOOD ROADS.

The economic side of the good
roads question has been pretty
effectually discussed, and the farmer
and everybody else interested has
been told how much could be saved,
in dollars and cents and in wear and
tear, by thoroughly improved
system OF highways. And there are
few if any thinking people in the
country who will claim that the
advocates of the economic side have
at all exaggerated.
A writer in the Congregationalist
takes up the matter from the moral

The small boy and the toy pistol
got in their work very effectively at
Gibson, New Brunswick, last week.
1t began in barn, and ended with
the destruction of eighty dwellings,
two churches, six stores and two
public halls, making one hundred
and twenty-five families homeless
and causing a total loss Of two mil.
lion dollars. The boy-and-th e-toy-
pistol combination ought to be
squelched.

The Chicago river has been declared
a nuisance, from sanitary point of
view, by the city authorities. Just
what they propose to do about it is
not quite clear, but it is probable
that they will not attempt to remove
that stream bodily from the city.
Chicago, however, has had so easy
a job manipulating the government
in the fair-shall-not-be- open-on-Sun-
day matter, that her authorities
may be able to handle a river as if it

The Boston Herald hints that the
governor of California is out of the
state and may remain away long
enough to have the lieutenant-gov-
ernor appoint him to the vacancy in
the United States senate caused by
the death of Senator Stanford. This
insinuation does not exactly blend
with statement by another author
ity quite asreliable, that California;
governor and his lieutenant have
made an agreement that the latter
shall not usurp too many of the
gubernatorial prerogatives during
the formers absence from the state.

Bradford is endeavoring to start a
boom based on her ability to turn
out granite, and the Opinion, in try

Others might make dollar, kept
them out and st. Johnsbury scooped

LAMENTING THE WEA TIER.

The Boston Herald sends up a
wall over the unusual dampness Of
the season, which has interfered
seriousl v not only with the outdoor
pleasures of thousands of people,
but as well with the harvests which
the merchants of the Hub have ex-
pected to reap. An extraordinarily
large number OF rainy Saturdays
have knocked the bottom out of the
retail trade, and countless business
men mourn the consequent loss of
shekels. Harvard's class days were
days of damp, clinging woe, and the
elements seem to have played havoc
with pleasure-seekers generally in
Boston's immediate vicinity.
Sorry, to be sure. But grass has
been coming along finely under the
influence of the recent rains, and
while Boston's deyotees feel called
upon to whine over the state of the
weather, Vermont farmers have
been quite satisfied with the rains of
the past week, which ensure a good
hay crop.
Weather is weather, whether one
likes it or not and it would not
be likely to improve, on the whole,
if 1.-THE common people" had hand
in its manufacture.

ground to explain the situation to them,
fully understand the terrible extremity to
which the people on the sea islands Of South

have already forwarded handsome contribu-

sufferers, and will soon place them in q fair
condition to endure the Cold weather which

MR CLxvEArp's HEALTH. - The New

ssThat tie friends Of President Cleveland in
this city were right in discrediting yester-
day, as reported In the Etnisg Post, SEN
sa'icnaf dispatch from this city TO tho Phila-
delphia PSess to the sE~~s a.. 55-.svrvus
vPrrsuon hsd been performed on President
Clsvelapd for the removal from the upper
part Of the mouth Of growth probably Of
oancerous nature, 10 established BY the state
nent cf the dentist, DR.. Ferdinand Has
bsouck, who glministsfed 10 the President
the anesthetic gas used In tho slight opera
tion which was performed. Dr. Hasbrouck's .
-etstcment 10 as follows:
ssThe operation performed on Mr. Glove
land was similar to csses We meet with every
day In the course Of our regular dental
practice. 1t Was neither moro or less than
shst. and on any less . person than the
President II would not have been noticed.
IL consisted Of the extraction Of two Of the
upper teeth and the removal Of slight por-
tion " diseased tissue and bone back Of the
nnee The disease causing the operation
was not At all in the nature Of that for which
the operation was made on Gen. Grant nor
were there any signs indicating sarooma.
The President had been suffering from ulcer
ated teeth, and as is often the case, the
uiceration had extended up and back to the
autrum. Because Of that It became neoes-
sary to remove some Of the bone aud dis
eased tissue.
M The operation was performed on E. C.
Renedic,s yacht Oneida, the other day after
leaving New York. DIR. J. D. Bryant, whom
President Cleveland appointed Surgeon
0aneral Of the State. when he was Governor
and DR.. w. W. Keen, Of Philadelphia. had
I charge of the operation. l administered ths
anmsthetio, extracted the teeth, and assisted
DR.. Bryant and DR.. Keen.
So far as can see, there is no reason fol-
alarm The President has simply had wha
amp one is liable to have, and what is no
considered at all dangerous. As said,
saw nothing that would indicate disease o
. cancerous nature, and don't think Their
will have to be another operation perform
