Comment is superfluous, IN an Ti vopublican party in Now York ought to profit immensely by tho expos ure of the Tammany scheme for coloniz ing voters in New York City. No bolder attempt at political fraud has been mado sinco the days of Tweed, and it shows that Tammany is again in the control of men who are as daring and unserupulous as the great rvobber whose infamous namo is indissolubly connected with the history of that politi or- ganization. The exposuro of this in- tendod fraud will doubtless put an end to colonization schemes, but it should do more thun this, It should lead thousands of lawsrespecting democrats and every independent voter in New York to refuse thelr support to a political organization capuble of such business, and to any candidate in affiliation with it, THE renomination of Mr. Groves for the city clorkship was a mistake—not becauso he was born in Treland, but bo- cause ho was originally put into the place by tho old council combine and Twenty-cighters and city clerk the papers in his offico have been missing at a convenient time when boodlers were anxious that they should not bo found because s SENATOR SHERMAN and ex-Governor Foraker last turday addressed tho largest meeting of the Ohio Cincinnati, and the appearance of these loaders on the samo platform was marked by the most cordial feeling bo- tween them.

This congress was opened yesterday afternoon with about 100 delegates in attendance, including a number of gen- tlemen of national repute. Although the congress is not so largely attended as was expected, probably for the reason that it follows so soon after the last ses- sion, it is a thoroughly representativo body, and its deliberations may be pected to reflect, so far as the practical questions to be considered are concerned, the intelligent sentiment of the state from which the delegates come. The cordinl welcome extended to the dele- gates by Governor Thayer and Mayor Cushing is heartily acquiesced in by all our citizens. Most of the questions to be discussed by the congress very directly concern the intercsts of the west, and therefore will merit the careful attention of our men of affairs, The question of a deep water harbor on the Gulf of Mexico is held to berof importanco to all this see- tion, because such a harbor would afford an outlet for western products that .would cheapen the cost of transportation to the advantage of producers. The sub- joct of irrigation is another matter in which the west takes espe- ciul, though not exclusive interest, for latterly this question has hoen receiving wmore friendly consideration in the east. If this congress shall concur in the posi- tion tuken by the recent irrigation con- gress, as it probably will, the united influence of the twp will have great weight. A number of other important matters, not only to the west but to the entire country, will be considered. It is to bo rogretted that the session of the congress here falls in the midst of an exciting political campaign which absorbs the attention of our peoplo to the exclusion of almost nll other matters, but it may still be hoped that all eiti- zens interested in the practical subjects to bo discussed will find opportunity to visit the congress. None can fail to hoar there something that will be instructive. ex- OUR INTERNAL COMMERCE, nocratic campaign orators are fond aring that our commerce hy De of dee swopt from the seas, but it says nothing about our intornal comme which has grown to proportions under the policy of the republican party and is steadily increasing. The of merchant macine was ono of the ¢ trous consequences of the rebollion, from which the country has not yot recovered, and doubtless will not for muny yours tovome. Wo are vaying bo- tween ono ond two hundred millions of dollurs annually to foveign ship ownor tor carrying our products boyond the sons ns one of the pounlties of thoe at- tempt to destroy the union. But whilo we have en unable to remedy this, lavgely the v that there has been persistont democratic opposition every effort to provide a rem- the development of the in- dustrios and the business of the coun- try through the volicy of the republican party has built up an internal commer greater then any other nation over had, amounting annually to mora than the whole commerce of Great Britain, vmany, Russia, Holiand, Bel- gium Austrin, Tho of Greav Britain is onessixth of oup domestic commerce, and while statistica show that the proportion of the commerce of oat Britain has been steadily declining, our internal commerce has rapidly increased. The is 0o stronger argumeut in suppc the policy of protection thun is supy by the facts arding the dc of domestio commerce, Every patriotic American hopes that the time is not far off when the foreign commerce of the United States will be car ried on largely by American ships. It i uot well that we are compelled to pay out s beon enormons loss our g b for s0n to edy, Prance, and commerce onl lopment | aunualiy to foreigt a vast sum of money that ought to be used at | home in maintaining ship yardsand con- tributing to the prosperity of the various industries which shipbuilding draws upon. It is humilinting to know that in many of the of the tho American flag is rarely or nevor seen But it is not altogether fault of the r publican party that this the That party took in the last congress to increase the mer- chant marine, and the chief obstacle o success is the apprehension that a dem- ocratic congress may refuse to carry out the conditions of the law. Th is every reason to believe that had a re- publican congress been elected last year there would now be assurance a large addition to our transportation facilities, particularly in southern « trade in the development of which such facilities must play n most important part. . In the course of time this country will ecover the leading position it once held in the ving trade of the world, but it will not be done under democratic policy. Meanwhile the republican party can with pride point to the development of the internal commerce of the nation as an ample vindication of its principles and policy ship owners orts world T at o mast hoead. or chiefly the is ons steps our ANNEXATION OR BANKRUPICY. The Canadian ministry is said to be greatly concorned over the unmistakable sentiment rapidl ing in every quarter of the Dominion in fuvor of po- litical uaion with the United States. A late dispateh from the Canandian seat of government states that s Al of the most ardent supporters of the late pr mier have hocoms the foromost pro- moters of the movem-nt, and a tory leader is quoted as making the admis- sion that the only recourse to save Can- ada from bankraptey and ruin appeared to be political unioa with the republic to the south. He pointed out the failure of the Dominion nment to negotiate trade relations with foreign countries their missions for this purpose having vroved signal failures, while the restri tions imposed by the United States upon Cunadian exports promise soon to exclude Canada from those markots in which, up to now, 45 per cent of all the Dominion had to sell had been dis- posed of. In every section of the coun- try organizations are being completed tourge the situntion upon the people, the watchword of which will be “annexation or bankruptey.” Enthusiastic meetings have already been held for furthering the cause of annexation, and it is said that within six months there will be anumber of elections to parlinment in which the question of political union with the United Stutes will be a leading issue. It is unquestionable that the general condition of the Dominion is such as to encouragen demaad for aradical chunge. The country is not making progress, cept in piling up debt, as the figures of | the last census plainly show. Popula tion increased. in ten years only balf a million which was considerably s than the number of immigrants brought to the country during that period, showing that not only did most of the people from foreign lands leave the country, but tens of thousands of native-born Canadians. Meanwhile the Dominion debt has nearly doubled and the fiscal burdens have grown steadily oppressive. In this state of affairs Canadians natur- ally are asking themselves what next ten years will bring, and as the government has no particular remedy for the unfortunute conditions, political union appears to thousands of them to be the only way of relief. The suggestions of an imperial customs union and other expedients to bind them more strongly in colonial dopond- ence, while finding support with a certain claas, sceiving less and less consideration from the masses of the people. Confronted by the over- whelming commereial power of the United States, and seeing little prospect of making any better commercial vela- tions with this country, tho more pro- gressive among the Canadian people ean discern no benelits to come from any policy that discriminates in favor of roat Britain, A few years ago Senator Snerman predieted that within ten years Canada would be indenendent or o part of the United States.

A ftor the national bank charter was issued the deposits had been used to the extent ol some 0,000 to make up the outstanding certificates, The assets of the bank in lands wore nominally upward of 00,000, and as the officers are men of excellent standing, the comptroller thinks they may be ablo to pledgo their real esta nd vorrow enough money to pay their debts to the bank and resume business.

High Authorities Diffor on Its Effect Upon the Sick. New Youk, Oot. 10.—Somo Now York medical men think tho staid old British sodi- cal Journal is guilty of imposing w foolish bit of humonggary on its roaders, A oablo dis- patoh quotes that journal as indorsing recent oxperiments that have been mado in London hospitals of curing tho sick by tho soothing influence of musie. Some one named Canon Harrod is reported to have organizod a so clety that makes a businoss of visiting sick peopio in the hospitals and playing and sing- ing to them. Tho British Medical Journal, which hns always boen classed among the most cautious and conservativo of Europoan publications of its kind, praisos the society in unstinted terms, ana’ goos so far as to inti mato that music is the remedy to tako the place of morphine and chioral in tho troat mant of norvous diseases. A caso is oited where Canon Harrod entered a wand that was filled with cases who woro suffering from in- somnia, A simplo lallaby was sung and all the patients went to sleep. ven tho physi- cian who had beon entrusted with testing the experiment is alleged to have found it difi- cult to keep awake, Dr. Georgo I, Shrady, cnl Society, read the cab torday, aid at ouce pronounced Canon Har- Lacrunk, “Tho idea of music serving ns a therapoutic wgent is absurd,” Dr, Shrady said. “That it may be introduced among n cortain class of patients with admirable re. sults is very likely, but if tho ward full of patients wero soothed to siecp, as described in the dispatel, it must bo that tho patients wore carefully selectea before the exveriment was made. 1t 1s boyond all scientific reason t0 say that music of any charactor could possibly attect an indiscriminate congrogation of persons alike, Somo oxtremely nervous vorsons would doubtless bo quioted if the r of tho Medi- Atehies yos | music were soft and mellow, whilo a number would ner. *“Tnere s nothing new about it, howover. “or wore than twenty yoars similar expori- nents huve been going on in tha insane as lums of this country and in Buropo. I ro- member that old Dr.” Rannoy, when he had charge of the asvlum on Blackwell's island, ated some of his patients with music, and in some cases with good effect. With somo it would divert tho mind from delusions that were producing delirium, and when such persons became soothed v fell asieep, were made fuirly frantic by almost tho first notes that were soundod. No doubt Dr. Rauney could have selected a numbor of patients who wero benctited by the music, and vy placing them toether in one ward have reached the same results as noted in this dispateh, “All of us know the magic charms of music. Wo sce the infant lulled to slumber by tho mother's voi T'ho same charm is seon in the sick room. A patient tosses about, racked with pain and the head throbbing with fover. Strains of music may aivert the wind in co tain cases until slosp comes, or it is Just as likely to provoke the most aceute icritation. Conscquently, when the suggestion is mado that music may becomo a substituto for mor- phine we can only cry bosh, for it is not com- mon seuse.” bo affected in quite the roverse man- Southern Alliance Disintezrating.
