ANOTHER "AMERIC4N PERIL." ="

II Is IN he observed that those ultra-nnam-
mable European journals which have oeen en-
deayorIng TO raise the standard OF Jehau ashlhSt
what they are pleased TO call the American
peril" now see red, not when they look to"alu
the United States alone, but also wheh the''
ewes in fine frenzy rolling scan the vast plains
Of Argentina. These two republics constitute
the twin menace to Europe which Europe must
Drepare TO meet. That It VIII readily De per
ceiyed Is decided change OF tone from lithe
while ago. when they were talking OF Argentina
ss an unsettled and unimproved waste, when
progressive European nations would be Jusuleo
in rushing" 1t now appears that Argentina
far from being unmproved has been 50 I'M
proved and developed that 1t has become Seri-
Gus Industrial rival of European lands Ana
we are inclined TO think, upon the OASIS OF re-
cent statistics that such view is not far re-
moved from accuracy.
In the single matter of live stock production,
for example, Argentina has come forward TO al
most the very first rank The statement has
been made that the once vast herds OF wlld cat
tie there have vanished as completely as have
the bison herds of the United States That is
true But instead of extermnating their wild
cattle. the enterDrsing and thrifty Argentnes
have civilized them into first rate stock, and at
the same time have increased the number Of
them At the present time there are in the re-
public more than thirty million head of cattle.
Most of them are native stock improved by
cultivation. The number Of imported cattle of
thoroughbred strains is. however, rapidly in
creasng Thousands of fine thoroughbreds for
breeding purposes are brought into the country
every wear and are so well cared for that the
number Of their offspring. equal in quality to
any cattle in the world is to be reckOned by
hundreds of thousands. The exports of live
steers are row valued at 81 100000 year and
of hides at nearly twice as much. In the first
five months of the present year exports Of
frozen meats included more than 100000 car
casses of mutton and 153,000 quarters OF beef
More than 100000 head of cattle killed
yearly for ierked beef and beef extracts for
export OF wool, nearly 250,000 tons ex-
ported yearly, valued at S4J0o0,0@0.
| Not to go further in analysis of live stock sta
| tistics, it is evident that so productive a coun-
| try is an Industrial and commercial force to be
reckoned with seriously It cannot be regarded
as a wilderness still open to invasion and con-
quest. It is Il settled civilized. industrial State
which has made far more rapid progress in de-
| velopment OF its resources than most other
! countries of the world Talk Of rushing it
must, of course, be laid upon the shelf. Talk of
| its being peril" to Europe is Ill advised. Eu-
rope must get animal and agricultural supplies
| from somewhere, since it cannot produce enough
! for its own needs, and it may well get some
| from Argentina from elsewhere.

WHAT CAN BE DONE.

Despondent views have been expressed from
time to time since the election as to the power
CT the incoming administration to give the
people of New-York the sort OF government they
voted for on November 6. 1t is pointed out
that the limit OF Indebtedness has been nearly
reached; that the general work Of the depart
ments viii have 20 be done during the next
fwo years by subordinates VINO were put into
office by Tammany and are protected by statute;
that most Of the huge sum raised by taxation
must be expended in ways prescribed by law,
and that thus hampered, the new Mayor, his
colleagues and appointees will be unable to
effect any real transformation Of municipal con-
ditions. Doubtless obstacles of this nature will
be encountered, and 1t is to be regretted that
Mr. Lows administration is not to have more
liberty OF action. But nevertheless there is an
ample opportunity 10 effect improvements In
the public service for which the people would
be profoundly grateful. and OF which they
would not tsconsent to be deprived at the end Of
TWO years.
First OF all, it is universally believed that
far larger number of persons is employed to do
the work of the city than is needed to do it
well; that most of the departments are con-
gested with superfuous employees. of whom
many are incompetent, while others have be-
come shiftless by force Of example, and that
the whole system of government has been
demoralized by the encouragement OF radi-
cally false conception Of what is due to the
municipality from those who take its pay. II
this state Of things actually exists there is moth
ing In the law TO compel its continuance. Every
head OF department has full authority to reduce
his force by the suspension OF employees whom
he does not need. except in the case OF veterans,
for whom he must provide by transfer IL he
does not require their services, and that restric-
gt1on leaves ample scope for the process of
reducing swollen payros within reasonable
limits. The amount OF money 10 be saved in
chat way is presumably large, but the pecuniary
Sonsideratiou is not the most important. The

Kaahumanu's wall came from 1.-The

many of the prisoners who built IL were
serving time for religions sake. After
the natives had cast down their idols
and been converted, they turned against
all forms of idolatry with the zeal CT
new proselytes. When the Roman
Catholic worship came in, the chiefs
mistook the use of images for idolatry
and threw n great many Catholics into
prison. The labor which went into the
Kaahumanu wall included theirs.

structure was to keep cattle grazing

NEW RULES FOR

The Federal court held two brief SEES
sions yesterday, morning and afternoon.
At the morning session the petition of

ruptcy was received, and the day for
hearing fixed for November 18th.
TIE Grand July did nj report duiin%
the day but considered the charge of
slavery made by Judge f.stee, and
heard numerous Witnesses in their in
vestigation. High Sheriff Brown and
Deputy Chilingworth presented the
evidence to the Grand Jury. 1t is quite
probable that a final report will be
made some time today. one of the
cases to be reported upon will be that
OF Contractor Campbell.
At the afternoon session the court
adopted two new rules of practice, as
follows:

(From Saturdays daily

Yesterday was the second distribution
day OF plants at the Government Muir
sery on King street under the recent
order of the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture. The Nursery opened last Men
day for the first distribution this fall
and nearly a thousand plants were
given away upon the orders counter
signed by Wray Taylor. The demand
for plants was almost as large yester-
day, and the gardener, c. j. Austin, and
his assistants were kept busy removing
plants from the pots.
The greatest demand at present is for
palms of the royal and date varieties.
AS this is the season of the year when
they will thrive and as the rainy sea-
son is soon to set in, householders are
anxious to lay in a big supply of the
tropical beauties so that by next spring
they will have their palms we'll up from
the ground. Next in the demand are
trees generally termed wind breaks
such as the greveilla, or silver oak, and
the eucalyptus. Both these varieties
are hardy specimens and make an eff
fectual barrier against the wind. They
are valuable not only as windbreaks
