Governor iill, of New York, un- doubtedly in a more perplexing and anxious situation at this time than any other aspiving politician in the nation. ‘The troubles that harrass the governor proceed from the diselosures in the ease of Squires, the commissioner of publie works of New York city, who was re- moved from oflice by Mayor G is now under indictment ch crimes hardly less scandalous th which sent Tweed to a felon’s cell. action of the mayor in removing Saquir requires to be confirmed by the gov- ernor, and this is the hard nut which Mr. Hill is now trying to find a v without smashing his fingers. ger that confronts the governor is that the political editice that he ha . fully constructed, with Squires and O'Brien as its pillars, threatens (o tummble to vieces wnd bury hum in the ruins, and how to eseape the scemingly inevitable disaster is the very serious question Lhat troubles him. There is mnot o shadow doubt respecting the guilt of Squires. Al the circumstantial evidence and the confession contained in his letter to Flynn are conclusive of that. Thero is also very little ground of doubt that O'Brien is dceply involved, though the disclosures as to mm were not so is of f eporti the | ¢ defimte and dircet 23 to warrant hus in- dictment. Flynn will reccive his punish- ment at the hands of the courts, but not being in office his case is of ouly inci- dental interest to the governor as aftect- ing his politieal influence. There 1s a general demand from the democratic press of New York that tho removal of Sauires shall be confirmed, and these papers call upon O'Brien to re: chairmanship of tho democratic state committee, a position he owes to the favor of Governor Hill, Now 1t is evident that to confirm removal of Squires would be an acknowi- edgment on the part of the governor of his belicf in the guilt of this trio of poli- ticians who have been the most favored recipients of his high consideration, and upon whom he has in a very large meas- ure rested his hopes for the future Only a few days ago we quoted from the New York Worid th statement that “‘the friends of Governor Hill control the party organization com- pletely,” and among the most faithful of these friends awe the three men whose oflicial rasealities have been exposed. the The present pacty organization in New York is tho work of Mr. Hill and he placed O'Brien atits head as his repro- sentative. In many ways the governor has strengthened the nhands of hus chief henchman and thereby helped the other two who were associated with him in managing the machine and pocketing the spoils. How heavily this matter weighs upon the governor may be seen inthe fact that with the most convincing cvidence before him of the guilt of Squires he has been deliberating on tho question of confirming his removal for nearly two wee hearing daily the calls of the democratic press upon him to do his duty, and knowing that o lionest citizen expeets him to place his condem nation upon Squires. But he still hesi- tates,and it 18 beginning to be feared that he will find some way to avoid the dis; greeablo duty at least until after the fall election, and perhaps altogether, ailow- ing the indicted ofticial to rewain in office pending the determination of his l ease n the courts. The situation shows how strongly the ring is intronched, aud how fiemly Goy- orpor Hill is bound up with it. That he 18 making a very grave mistake in his present courso ought to ba apparent to him. Heought to see that he cannot without the risk of disaster to his politi- cal hopes dety the honest and decent pub. lic sentiment of New York. If he can- vot in all respeets emulate the examplo of Mr. Tilden in dealing with the Tweed ring, for the reason that, unlike Mr. Til- den, he is himself a ringster, he ought to be able to go far enough 1 the only di- voetion which he ean properly pursue to demonstrato that he mlhwn]n. i or done r his most favored chmen. many people feel a very deep interest the action Goveraor Hill shall tak this matter, and probably none more than ihe gentleman who is resting and tishing in the Adirondacks. rm———— Tuar bill to make gambling a folony, which Church Howe intreduced in the Iast when legistatnre ana afterwards killod the collection taken up by the ng fraternity warranted the mur will haunt the legislative black or from the banks of the N¢ for many dor ma maha year Move, of Russia's Latest The insidious character dip ymacy rece m in th vosit of Bul i\ st move in t whatmy sterious g g Do all bnt pean ¢ m of A Prine consumm Saturd m ex and some o that in i3 playn s of a conapiracy some of the Eu t ( ) s nna the s the chav its urts while im Ber heme on Was b the L nderstood there people ms not L by with any dissatisfac There was no popular disturbance, Lut on the contrary the people aceepted the situation with an apparent feeling ot rolief, and the dispatehes represent that they rejoice at the eve tolerable situation, while anticipating the bost rosuits from Russian domination in the union of Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia, which the people eagoerly od since the division an autonomy of the former was established by the treaty of Berlin in 1878, 1t is not easy to forecast what the political consequences of this of Ru though there is a wide of possibilitics in conncction with it. foree of thy blow falls upon Turk which Bulgaviz wa ity under the su and tho cours: to the mattor will have with determining futur also a menace, mdiveetly land’s influence in the public expression in England p regard it as an event i which that nation has less intorost than any other.

Last week's clearingsplace us eleventh in the list of commerc centers, Business shows gradually increasing activity at leading business centers throughout the country. The recent gain in bank clear- ings and railroad earuings and the ad- vanee in interest rates for money are un- mistable evidences of the vevival of con- fidence and growth of onterprise commercial ecivcles. The improvement is but slight in some departments, but it nt to some extent in nearly branch of business. One of the more encouraging features of the situa- tion is the renewal of something lke o'd time activity in the ex- port trade 1 wheat. The legiti- mate trade in this cereal is better than it has been for some years past, and its effect upon tho country’s exports is likely to be supplemented shortly by larger shipments of new cotton, which will soon bein su nt supply to admit of in- creasing foreign sales. The distribution of all kinds of merchandise to interior points is steadily enlarging in volume, and there is & hopeful and cheerful ing as to business prospeets in all par of the country. Cotton and wool ren dull. Manufac of wool are fu active, and mills generally are smployed on orders. Cotton good continue under good control, as del on back orders and a steadynew demand are taking up the bulk of production of leading mills. The general outlook for business in the dry-goods market contin- ues satisfactory. Jobbers at all points are getting larger and more frequent orders, The price of wheat in the seaboard marketis 1} o § cents per bushel higher than it was a week ago, and better ures have been recorded in the interval; but in the Chicago market the net ad- vance for the \wul. isonly % of a cent per hel. The rise in price is the result of sustained activity in the export demand All cable reports indi decided age in the ontturn of European crops andan increase in import require- ments during the year that is variously d at 75,000,000 to 100,000,000 bush- .

Between the opposing interests the country has profited by a healthful ex- pausion of its export trade, which might bave been seriously erippled if the specu- lative market had taken its usual course inn the presence of an active forcign de mand. The diversion of uttention to wheat hus dwarfed the dealings in corn to compurative insignificance in all grain centers, Prices are 1 cent lower here in the west, where the raims in thecorn belt have induced a more bearish feeling in speculative eireles; but the eastern mar- kets continue firm under light stocks of merchantable corn and 4 good demand for home consumption, Export demand corn is light.

It appears that, by pro- vision of the constitution of the state of Nebraska, the United States senators are clected, or supposed to be, by the popular vote. This provision, which was in serted in the state constitution to serve as a bulwark against possible mznipulation of the legislature, has never been called into play uutil now, but Van Wyek in- tends shall be' given a practieal fall.

I'he lute marquis of Waterford, among numerous accomplishments, excelled as o boxer, and of his aptitude in this art he was justly proud, s the Pall Mall Guazette. He never picked his men: he used to fight conlheavers, dqustmen, hod- men, fellowship porters, and others of that ilk. and then gavethem a bank of England plaister, and if he ever was caught uapping and met a suver bruiser, great was his superior’s reward But sometimes an insolent jarvey ob taimed all the thrashing and no reward, as the following ancedote will show: The marqus on_one occasion hailed A cab vather early in the morning, and directed the cabman to drive him to St square, tho residence of his h-bishop of Armagh. When ved at his destination he handed (hman half a sovercign nost insolent manner, demanded more, “All right,” said the mavquis,and, slipping in the house by the means of a lateh key, he quickly donned his unele’s episcopal robes, and, returning to the door, quictly asked what the cabman re. quired. The jarvey, not recognizing the marquis, and_ thinking to frighten the clerical "swell, gave him some choice Billingsgate, whercupon his lordship in bis new charactor knocked cabby down. Amuscd at the idea of having to fight with & parso bhy sprang up and went for his man in good style; but the sham prelate foiled eyery blow and re turncd his delive with such vigor that atlast the cabman, thoroughly b and believing that he had the “devil lawn sleeves for an opponent, jun glad to “hook it. rince of Chatelherault 1sa brui: of the {Vatortord sta up.

To hit out at the sweep was the noble s first impulse, and, lnnlhugounhumun s nasal orgun, the carmine and black were soon ming- ling. Nothing daunted, the sweep himself together and tried all b get on terms, but in a short time_he 50 battered and braised that his from the “‘Lane,” who had now must ! strongly, came up, and it was a ense of one down and the other come o; 5 lated, no doubt, by the bottle or « sorter he had imbibed, his lordship lumck d the pride of Drury e down one after the other i nine-ping, ealmly asking, like Fitzjames of Roderick Dhu's bund, forone and all to come on.
