The English manufacturer Is not pre- pared to raisu wages In order to enable nis omployés to buy dearer food. The English mechanic is not prepared to pay any more outof his present wages, nnd absolutely enue uot live on less food than he has had during the past. ‘The schema Is probably Impracti- cable, even if it were desirable.

The Americans engaged in surveying for Mextfean raltroads are entitled to protection, Tho Mexican Government desires the .rail- rons built, and: has eneduraged the tnvest- ment of Anorienn capital and the services of American oxperts.: This is not the only outrage that hag been committed on Americans on Mexican territory, and there {is some reason to belleye that tho thicving ralds and murderous assaults are not made by Indinns alone.

But when was abolition of wrong ever wedded to nssasination ? Assas- ination Is itself n wrong, and a greater one than despotism, With all peaceful agita- tion, with open rebellion, or with a revolt of the Itussinn peopte against their despotie and eruel Government, the American people will be in sympathy; but they can never be taught to beliove that. assasination fs an honorable, orn brave, or a useful mode of warfare, : yaults, We should think it kely that the bineks would retain a partot it, unless thoy are universally and hopelesly hinproyident, There is cerlalnly no other kind of money so well adapted to hoarding, or so conventent for clreulation among people of small moans and modest wants.

Tf this fg to be the turn ot affairs for n thne, the.people of the United States can afford to full Into the same direction and awalt futuro developments. : TOA ...csserecee sere iB GL It will be scen from the above tablo that more than half of all the murders committed in this’ community :during the past seven yenrs occurred during the four warm months, and of these'nearly twice us many were con: mitted In the warmer ‘months of July and August as In the cooler months of June ant September. ‘Tha uniformity of this oxhiblt 18 pretty conclusive evidenee of the inciting cases of the heated term, which, for the rest, are founded in the reason of things. SU another Inference Is warranted from tho showing of the above table. During tho seven years In which 178 murders have been committed, only two men have been hanged. Shorry and Connoly suifered the death penalty for thelr crime in the yenr 1878. The murders of that year were at the minimum, and remalned so during the succeeding year, During the threo years previous to their hanging the number of murders ranged from twenty-five to thirty. After the hang ing thoy decreased to soventeen n year, During Inst year, when there had been a Inpse of to years without’ a hanging, the number of murders Increased to thirty-six, and this yont,’ at tha rate of the past’ six montha, will produce forty-flye or fifty mur- derers, It may be safely concluded. from these facts that tha lalauoz-cller policy, In- yolving legal technicaliiles. and delays, false sentimentality, corrupt juries, and tender- hearted Judges, may hettor be nbvandoned for x falt test of more rigorous trontment, Mus. J. 8, Loweut’s paper read before the Boston Couference of Charitics Inst week has excited much attention m tho Eastern press. It was cutitled “ Considerations upon a Better System of Public Charities and Cor- rections.” Most .of tho illustrations were drawn from the experience of New York City. The charities ‘and correction system there Is beset with two «ificulties, ‘The first {s politlenl Interference, oid the second is tho giving of public.money to private instl- tutions, Appotntments are made solely for political rensons, ‘he goverment of the instituttons isin the hands of three Com- inissioners, who ure politicians and nothing more. ‘The nltempt of the Mayor to appolut a person of a different character was resisted by the Board of Aldermen, Intd over for eloven weeks, nud at last accounts had not been acted on, ‘Lhe Commissloners, being nppolnted for such reasons, naturally choose. subordinates possessing the same kind of nbllitles.. The consequence Is, that there Is nelther stability nor efMiclency In tho service. From tho reports of ten institutions Mra, Lowoll finds that during 1880 umong the in- cumbents of G13 offices In Now York Instl- tutions there were 233 resignations and’ 81 dlsmissals, In the New York Clty Insane Asylum, with 08 officers etuployed, thore were 92 resignations and 43° dlsm{ssals, THE RIVER ROUTE FOR GRAIN.
