The chief point gained would he the reg
ular assignment by each Government Of
one or moro of Its vessels to the duty OF pa
trolling the North Atlantic for theldestruc-
ton OF derelicts in that part OF the area
which 1t might agree to police. In the
navigable coast waters Of the United States
1t is already the custom to send naval
vessel to blow up dangerous wrecks. al
though additional authority and appliances
might be desirable for this purpose.
II is plain that while private interests are
chiefly concerned In the removal OF these
menaces to navigation. the task Of destroy
ing them Is properly that OF the Govern
ments. A passenger steamer or even
freighter could hardly afford to stop In It's
voyage for that purpose and might also be
in doubt about It's authority to blow up the
wreck; or it might not have the explosives
and electrical appliances to do 1t with. A
Government vessel would have no such
drawbacks. and might better be employed
In this useful duty than in more aimless
cruising. The growth Of transatlantic
travel and traffic suggests that this project
should be carried out by the leading mari
time nations without further delay.

Architects to Select Sic for tho Municipal
Building Commissions Consideration.
AT yesterdays meeting OF tho Municipal
Building Commission. County Clerk Purroy
renewed his objection to the site selected and
repeated his argument in favor Of removing
the County Court House and increasing the
size Of the new building.
Mayor Gilroy replied that the plan adopted
had met the approval Of the best architects.
plan very similar to that Of the County Clerk
had been considered and rejected. The Mayor
opposed delay. and declared that the rejection
of the plans submitted In competition would
be an act OF bad faith. and few architects could
be got to enter plans in q second competition.
The Court House. he declared. can be torn
down or altered later. but work on the new
building ought to begin as soon as possible.

There is very little difference between the
dialects Of northwest and southwest
Greenland though. as far as we know, the
Danish Eskimos and the Arctic Highlanders
have not met for ages, except as recent ex-
plorers have brought them together To
this general rule pervading the Eskimo
family an exception Is afforded by the ma
tives living In and near tho Angmagsalik
ford in east Greenland; and the striking
differences between their language and
other Eskimo dialects seem to be chiefly
due to their superstitious dread of men
tioning the names of their dead.
Many OF these names. like those among
our Indians, are words In common use and
are applied to persons to indicate some
quality or characteristic. When these per-
sons die the words applied to them as
names can no longer be used as part OF
the common vocabulary. SO it happens
that not few words have been arbitrarily
invented to convey ideas that have been
robbed OF their usual forms OF expression

No way has been found Of preventing the
multitudes Of people who get out OF the chol-
era districts OF Russia from taking ship for
this country. Whom they were deprived Of the
privilege Of sailing from Hamburg and other
German ports. many OF them sailed from
French and Italian ports; at n ilater period
they sailed from Belgian and Dutch ports. and
still more recently from British ports. About
10000 OF Thorn have arrived In New York this
year from regions In which tho cholera has
been raging for eighteen months. and other
ship loads OF them are coming every week.
Even though they are inspected on tho other
side. and even though our quarantine and
health authorities arc as vigilant as possible, it
Is surprising that some OF these pc ople have not
introduced the disease into this country. But
there must be danger to the country as long as

More Gold.

Ever since the silver panic struck the
mining States of the West. we have been
getting news Of tho revival Of activity in
the gold-producing regions Of Colorado.
Idaho. New Mexico. and Arizona.
By our latest dispatches We learn o. the
progress Of development work in many OF
the Colorado gold camps. and tho success
Of this work Is shown In tho fact that lots
Of the yellow metal are now taken weekly
to the branch mint at Denver. The miners
Of earlier days had merely scratched
over any one camp when they left for
another at which gold could be more
easily shovelled up; and the profitable silver
mining that came next drove from their
mind all thought Of developing the regions
in which gold ores existed. But recently
they have begun to return to the abandoned
camps, and also to resume the washing of
the sands along the rivers and creeks. with
advantage.
Wo have reports OF the same kind OF &C.
tivity in the gold fields of New Mexico.
from which unusual quantities OF the metal
have recently been transported In Idaho.
new placer mines. rich In free gold, have
been opened up. and hundreds Of men are
already at work in them; and from two or
three ore chutes there has recently been
favorable news.
It is possible that Colorado and other
States will grow richer by tho proper de-
velopment OF the god-bearing regions
than they have grown by operating the sill
vcr mines; II they do wo shall expect to see
thom change their opinion about the coin
ago Of silver at the ratio OF sixteen to one.

Progress in Hawaii.

An important contribution to the current
| knowledge OF the Hawaiian question ia
made in letter OF the Rev. DR.. BISHOP Of
| Honolulu to the Independent. He dwells
upon the Frightening prospects for Hawaii.
| and for its people, amid all the uncertain
| ties Of the times.
Under the trying circumstances OF the
past eight months. there has been steady
growth of confidence in President DOLE
and his colleagues. whose conduct has been
that Of men Of marked practical ability and
high personal character. The Provisional
Government has developed and CONSOLE
dated Its strength throughout the coun-
try. more especially since the occupation.
Of the royal palace two months ago.
Its financial credit is entirely satisfactory.
By appropriating the Crown lands. and
applying them to public uses. 1t has greatly
enlarged the resources of the Treasury
The bonds Of the Government have sold
readily at SO per cent. The construction of
public works is carried on In a very success
full way. Since the middle Of July there has
been q large increase Of deposits In the
Postal Savings Bank. fact which gives
proof Of popular confidence in the admins
tration Of public eifairs. and In the coun-
try's prospects.
In his letter to the Independent DR.. BISHOP
comments upon these things. and upon the
happy change In the state of the affairs Of
Hawaii since the revolution OF January last.
He also speaks Of the peculiar difficulties
which the Provisional Government has had
to contend with ever since the time Of Its
organization. such as the intrigues of
the Queens party. the contrivances
Of financial wreckers. and the machi-
nations OF the aged coolie driver SPREcK-
ELS. Despite them all. 1t has maintained
and strengthened its authority, while
keeping the peace without indulging in any
act for which it deserves reproach. and
without imperilling the political or the
business interests Of the liberated country.
DR.. BISHOP seems unable to believe that
the American Government can refuse to &C.
cept the great gift offered to it by Presi-
dent DOLE and his associates.

Emigrating Esklmos.

Nine years ago Capt HOLM spent months
In the most northern settlements OF the
isolated east Greenland Esl,imos. For gen.
erations they had been cut off from the
rest OF the world until year or two before
HOLM aud his party made their advent
The Danish explorer told the natives many
things about the world that astonished
them greatly. and he whetted their curos-
ity to learn more. About year lator small
bands OF these natives. who mum bored. &C.
cording to HoLM's census. 41s persons,
made their appearance around the southern
end OF Greenland. and told the people of
Julianehaab and other west coast settle
ments that they had come to stay. Their
experience with white men had pleased
them. They had heard that white men
lived on the west coast. and that others
visited that part OF Greenland every year.
They said they wished to live, hereafter,
where they might meet white men and
trade with them.
Last year Lieut.. RYDER. another Danish
explorer. visited the settlements OF these
Angmagsalik natives where HOLM had dis
covered them. He found only 22l people.
where HOLM had counted 4l9 souls. The
mortality among them had been very
heavy. but emigration was chiefly respon-
sibe for the fact that the population had
been reduced nearly one-half.
A curious fact about these Esklmos was
illustrated by the difficulty RYDER expert
enced in his efforts to learn how many of
them had died since HOLM lived among
them. They can hardly be induced to speak
of their friends who have died. They ex-

PA1CHoGUE TO BECOME A CITY.
At an Election Yesterday the Incorporate
Party Won by GO Votes.

AT an ELECTION yesterday the incorporation
Party Won by 60 Votes.
PATCHoGUE. Sept IA special meeting
was held here to-day to decide whether the
town should become an incorporated city. It
was the bitterest election in the history Of the
town. Business men let business stand still
and fought tooth and nail for their respective
sides. The contesting parties were known rs
Observation-Disclosures and incorporationists.
The incorporationists were headed by such
men as T. Bailey. William Smith, Judge Car
man. supervisor Price. Editor James Garfield.
DC. Men opposed to modern local govern
ment headed the other party. For many
weeks the two sides have fought each other
with fierce arguments, and in many cases ties
OF friendship which had existed for years have
been ruptured by the personal feeling in the
matter.
An attempt was made to Incorporate the
town three years ago. but the Incorporation
party was beaten BY thirty-si1 votes. Since

polling pol i room to-day was IN the Town Hall
which when the votes were counted was fairly
packed When the decision was rendered
giving the incorporation party sixty votes
majority. the Joy OF the incorporation pro-
jectors knew no bounds. SILK hats were thrown
as high In the air as common derbys. On the
streets deafening cheers were heard. Pat
chogue will now have municipal government.
