The Mail and Express thinks it would be a great yictory for civilization if a prize fighter who had killed his mac should be convicted of murder and hang ed. •‘Last year,” says the Mail and Express, “our Democratic brethren were in a pain ful state of mind over the accumulation of a big surplus in the national treasury. This year they axe frightened almost to •death because they fear that Commissioner Tanner will do something to decrease that very same surplus. It is to be feared that our Democrat’c brethren are very hard to THE’fW oHiisf’s L kagtoe after G ot - BRNOR feLL.-^Goyernof Hill, by vetoing the femkle inspector tactory bill, has in curred the displeasure of the Woman's National Industrial League, and it Is in the power of women to incalculably lessen the governor’s chances of a re-election as the chief executive of this .state or of his ejection to any higher position to which he may, and possibly does, aspire. The governor, therefore, ought to have con sidered well the consequences when he vetoed a bill which had the special ap proval of the women. We are afraid he has “ pul his foot in” now, sure. At the regular meeting of tUe Woman's National Industrial League, held in ■Washington, D. C., several days since, a preamble and resolutions condemnatory of the govern or’s veto were unanimously adopled. They are signed by Charlotte Smith as president and Catharine Bergan as secre tary. They are as follows: Whereas, It has been demonstrated to tbi league that David S, Hill, governor of tn. stale -of New York, is an enemy of labor am the cause of the industries of this country, and has by his vetoes shown his friendship for □lies antagonist‘c to the interests of the The fund for the printers’ statue to the late Hon. Horace Greeley, to be erected in Ffinting House Square, New York city, has reached $10,045. The statue is in tended as a tribute from the printers of the country to the memory of the' great journalist. There ought to be a ready response to the call for contributions from the printers of the country. Those who give even the least towards It ought to consider it an honor to have asBisted In so worthy an object. “ The irreverent third-party orators who Insulted God,” says the Elmira Advertiser, “ by declaring that he afflicted Johnstown because it was not a Prohibition town are in a box now. Johnstown voted in favor of the amendment.” They will bob up serenely out of the box by declaring that the ten thousand drunkards who were drowned left only the temperance popula tion of the town to vote, and hence the majority in favor of the prohibition amend ment. One of the orators belonging to Kansas contingent expressed himself prac tically to that effect. The latest “ authentic” information from Hayli is to the efieot that Hippolyte has got Legitime cooped up in Fort au Prince, •and he is ready to enter that city just so soon as the citizens thereof shall invite him to come in and “occupy.” All of the outlying provinces, cities and districts, ac cording to this veracious account, are subdued unto the redoubtable Hippolyte, and if it is true, the next move will be a check-mate. If Legitime is closed in, his •communication with the outside world must be seriously impaired, and so his side of the story will fall to reach us. But we would like to hear from him before we accept Hippolyte’s story as conclusive. And so, as in that other case of doubtful TeBulis, the Cronin affair, we await further developments. Another negro exodus from the South is imminent. This time from Texas. The objective point is Mexico The commis- aioner who has been to that country look ing over the ground said that if satisfac tory arrangements oould be made with the Mexican government for land, a colony of at least ten thousand persons would soon be In Mexico. Already 700 families in Washington, Wharton, Brazoria and Bas trop Counties have signed an agreement to emigrate. “ These,” the commissioner, an intelligent colored gentleman named Ellis, £ays, “are all hard-working, industrious people. Many of them own farms, and some are large cotton planters. If we can find the proper location in the cotton grow ing belt of Mexico, that will soon be a cot ton-exporting country instead of an im porter of the staple. Many farmers and laborers from Louisiana and Mississippi will join us, and there is not the preju dice in Mexico against colored men that there is in the United States.” The appointment of Mr, Phelps as min ister to Berlin is all right ; at least it has met the—hailing, it is true—approval of the New York Evening Post, and it must be admitted that :the Post’s taste is very fastidious; butiOld Probability must have been master of the roost when the endorse ment was incubated. We are told by the doubting Post that “ the appointment of William Walter Phelps as minister to Germany will, as things go, give general satisfaction. The only dissatisfaction will be among those who wanted the place. Mr. Phelps is not a heavy-weight, but we do not want heavy-weights Tor our foreign missions, except in England. An agile, agreeable gentleman, wh© has seen some thing of court life, and who' is not quite destitute of linguistic acquirements, will answer the purpose at any continental capital. Probably Mr. Blaine’s prefer ence has been consulted in this case, hy way of rarity. Probably Mr. Phelps’s share in the Samoan conference has given him some prestige. Probably his absence from New Jersey for a few years can be borne, with a great effort, by Mr. Sewell, and other aspiring politicians of the state. Upon the whole, we think that Mr. Harri son has done very well in this instance.” Strange to say, the only way to kill a law is not to execute it. monopolies antagonist‘c to t V. jrking cHsJ ?.

Hill has by course of action in vetoing bills passed by Legislature of the state for the benefit of wage earners, proven himself a friend and active agent of the monopolies who oppose the best imeresta of the people. Resolved farther, That in the opinion of this league the veto of the bill for female in spectors of factories was simply infamous, it being an acknowledged fact that women are better qualified to fill the ofiice of inspectors in all places where women are employed tha men, and that his action can only be accoun ed for by his desire to appoint men, who have votes, to assist him in his political aspirations. Be it further Resolved, That the greed for office manifested by men, and the indignitie heaped upon women by public pfficials-^in noring and refusing her a -participation i the National Bureau of Labor—establishe bv her efforts and perseverance, where the were totally ignored, even in the appointmei of agents, until this League brought the sul ject before Congress-in the injustice prac ticed upo 3 her by tbe vetoing of laws framed for her benefit—calls for organization on the part of woman who is now a political factor— to combine against any and all men who re fuse to accord her the rights of industrians or an equal participation in the rights and priv ileges enjoyed by man, and that the number of women exceeding the male population entitles them to fair recognition and equal rights which they will dare to contend for and maintain. And be it further Resolved, That it was which The Tradesman of July first shows that during the last quarter 1,021 new indus tries have been established throiighoui the South, against 690 in the previous quarter. The first six months of the present year in that section show 1,711 new industries, against 1,290 for the corresponding period of last year. The Tradesman says a sig nificant fact connected with this increase is that its character is of a “ more substan tial nature and is on a •much better basis than in previous years. The speculative fever has been in a large measure repress ed, and iadustiies are now being estab. lished more in consequence of actual re- sources and legitimate enterprise than bC fore:” One of the most noticeable features o'f the quarter’s increase has been the organi zation of 51 new cotton and woolen mills, against 35 in the previous quarter. Georgia leads, with 16 new mills, North Carolina following with 8. Fifty-two foundries and machine shops were or ganized. Alabama leads in this particu lar industry, with 9 new works, Tennes see, Georgia and Kentucky following with 7 each. Eighty-two mining and quarrying companies were organized, of which 17 were In Kentucky. The number of rail road companies organized shows a gain of almost 100 per cent, the number for tbe past quarter being 130. Texas and Ala bama lead in this respect, with 22 and 20, respectively. Two hundred ..and seven wood-working establishments were or ganized. Other industries established in the last three months were 7 blast fur naces, 46 oil mills <16 in South Carolina), 11 potteries, and 3 rolling mills. Thus it will be seen that the South is developing a diversity of industries which will soon make that section of the country a lively rival of the North. It will soon afford a good market for home productions. Pro tection will follow close on the heels of this industrial awakening, and, breaking through prejudice and sentiment, the “Solid South” so called, will be teelotally and irrevocable rent in twain.

Therefore be it further resolved, That it is the duty of this league to denounce alii laws d all men who refuse to dispense equal jna- dless of sex, and and all n er political creed which has not for its objec it a welfare of the wage industrians of th( country.

Hunter, of this city, as collector of internal revenue, for the l4th district of this state. The appointment is a good one, and will meet with the approval of all who know Mr. Hunter. As postmaster for eight years, Mr. Hunter established a reputation for superior management of his office, fpr knowledge of his business, and for the re forms introduced to facilitate the early distribution of the mails,. equal to any official in tbe department, and in his new office be will undoubtedly do as well. He will first thoroughly acquaint himself with the details of the office, and then give it his personal attention, not trusting it to deputies, as is the habit of too many offi- The office will be moved to this city in the government Jbuildlng, which will be a great accommodation to the taxpayers here, as they have for some time been obliged to send to Albany for stamps. Mr. Hunter will have the appointment of a chief clerk and three or four assist ants in his office, and'of deputies at per haps ten or twelve different points in his district, which, by the way, isr a large one, taking in all the counties on both sides of the river from New York city to Canada. We congratulate both Mr. Hunter and the taxpayers on the appointment. A POTJGHKEEPSIAN HONORED.—NO fOF eign appointment which President Har rison has made will meet with more hearty approval than that of our well known townsman, Wallace Bruce, Esq., as consul to Leith, or rather Edinburg, Scotland, which was made on Monday. This appointment is not only a proper and every way a worthy one, but it is peculiar ly appropriate, Mr. Bruce’s affection for Scotland is well known to his hosts of friends all over the Hailed States. That country has inspired some of his best literary efforts, and our government cou.d not have sent an abler and at the 'same time • a., more sympathet ic representative than the president’s appointee. His knowledge -of Scottish history and of the 'manners of the people and their characteristics, together with his well known scholarly attainments and his patriotic sense of duty, peculiarly fit him for. the position, and will enable him to perform its duties- with marked success and satisfaction. While we shall regret to lose sight of him for a time, we are glad that his labor will be one which will en gage hii heart as well as his mind, for we doubt not it will be an agreeable duty to Mr- Bruce. And now comes the astonishing state ment, from that ever-reliable individual, \who Is in a position to know,” that Dr. Cronin, whose murderer is at present be ing hunted down by Chicago detectives, is not dead, but alive. The man who im parts this information is one O. H. Rolhaker, managing editor of the Omaha Republican, and he claims that the dead man will turn up in London before many days. Mr. Rothaker, in an interview, ex pressed himself as being positive that the body found in the sewer was not that of Cronin, but a “ stiff” obtained from a Chicago medical college. He said that his belief that Cronin is still alive is “strengthened by a telegram addressed to a prominent Irishman In -Omaha, and which was shown me. It was sent from Chicago and its contents were to the effect that a positive assurance had been received by the sender that Cronin was still alive, and requesting information as to his where abouts.” This story will of course be taken with a great grain of allowance; hut if it should turn out to be true the Cronin case will have another unique character istic, given it by the counterfeit \stiffs” adulterated “ scents,'” deceiving trails, false clues which it has developed, and we cannot blame the Chicago police If they should be mad about it. Minneapolis and St. Paul, the twin ciu ies of the northwest, seem to be forging along, Increasing their population with wonderfuljrapidity. The new directories of the two places indicate a combined pop ulation of half a million. By the census of 1880 Minneapolis had 46,887 and St. Paul 41,473—total 88,360. The state cen sus of 1885 gave Minneapolis 129,200 and St. Paul 111,397-total 240,597. By and by they will come the Chicago dodge, an nex each other, and outstrip all other cit ies in the West, including the present western metropolis. The State Assessors.. The New York Times, commenting edi torially on the proceedings of the state assessors in Poughkeepsie, says ; The slate assessors, in their pilgrimage through the counties^ are finding that the local assessments of property for taxation are very unequal. Though the assessors have sworn to assess property at its actual value, they do not scruple to admit that they assess it in some cases as low as half its value or even less. The result is great uaequality among different towns in the same countv. The injustice occasioned by this dereliction of'duty is evident. The amonnt to be raised ;by taxation is fixed, and no reduction of assessments can change it. If all property were assessed at Its full value, or even at a uni form ratio to Its value, the taxes would be equitably aoportioned, the rate alone be ing affectea by the assessment, but where the assessment is at the full value in one town and half its value in another, there is an inequality in the taxation so far as it is for county purposes. One town shifts a part of its burden upon another. It is just as much an injustice as inequality of assessment among counties so lar as the tax for state purposes is affected, or ine quality among individual property owners so far as local burdens are concerned.

The trial trip was something that the hero of previous successful battles with the Whirlpool rapids had not intended, but unfortunately for his life be was forced to make it. Graham had not the slightest doubt of the safety of the queer Httle craft, but others thought that it could not stand the trip, despite its careful construction. Mant^er W. S.
