our roLicr witji regard to
CANADA.
We regret to Bee such an undue amount of
attention given by our press to Canadian po
litics. We cannot understand that they con
cern ns in the slightest degree in their proxi
mate issue. The people of Canada are quite
able to manage their own affairs and their re
lations with England without our generous
Interference, and they show pretty plainly
that it is their intention to do so. We may
test assured that annexation is the idea least
contemplated by the great body of Canadians,
and the least desired by every sensible man
On this aide of the dividing line. To mind
our own business, to turn our attention
towards developing the vast wealth of terri
tory we already possess, these are the solu
tions to that great problem now before the
American people, viz., how we shall pay the
national debt and grow rich ?
We are in favor of annexing Canada when
ever Canada shall grow into a Relf -sustaining
State. That time has not yet come. Her
forces are scattered and Insufficient, her re
sources are only comparatively developed,
and for many years she would be a burden
upon the American nation it could very illy
Lear. Every dollar and sinew our citizens
can spare must now be devoted to our own
territories. It will need every nerve and
muscle of our home and foreign emigration
to colonize and develop them. We need to
be Btrong ourselves, in every part; we need
to get our own vast machine in full active
Working order throughout, before we turn
our attention outward. Let us consider this,
and stop dreaming. The day will surely
dawn when Canada not only may be, but
must be, ours: do not let us hope for this new
and heavy responsibility before we have dis
charged the old one that rests upon us at
home.
That the true means to accomplish the end
of annexation are in active operation now, we
are rejoiced to know. The tide of emigration
is setting Bteadily westward, and in a few
years, local centres having sprung up through
out the whole country, and fruitful fields hav
ing been evolved from marsh and desert, we
trill find we have infused such power into our
national arms that we are ready for new ac
quisitions and fresh enterprises of civiliza
tion. What we contend for is that our charity
Bhould begin at home; we have no wish that
it Bhould end there. Let us strengthen our
selves, and we shall be in a better position to
strengthen others. Let us cultivate and deve
lop that -1,499,561 miles which is as yet com
paratively undeveloped, and we shall see
clearly how we may annex 2,841,327 miles
which will need all the outlay of money, bone,
and muscle we are able to invest to render it
ultimately profitable. We hold it the duty of
every responsible journal in this age of fever
ish scheming to set these facts fairly before
the people. The strength of a nation does
not lie in the extent of its territory, but in
the extent of the development of that terri
tory. . Every acre of ground we add to our
possessions to-day, if it does not prove a
Source of immediate revenue, will be a source
of immediate weakness. Alaska, for which
we paid seven millions in gold, would be well
got rid of at a price less than the sum we
have already spent in her improvement.
Texas and the country acquired by our
treaty with Mexico will now, for the first
time, become a paying investment for money
sunk there by a Democratic administration
twenty-one years ago. Look where we will,
experience still points to the same moral no
annexation without remuneration.
Of course, our remarks do not and cannot
apply to the acquisition of Cuba. Her inter
nal commerce is vigorous and healthy, her
Soil is in a high state of cultivation, and her
people are willing and anxious for annexation
to the United States. The sum we shall spend
upon her reconstruction, as a new State in the
American Union, will be inconsiderable,
while the life-giving power of American laws
extending over her territory will strengthen
and vivify every native energy which Spanish
oppression has hitherto done its best to
weaken and destroy. By Grant's policy we are
losers neither in fortune or good name. By
anybody else's policy, looking to the purchase
or acquisition of fruitful icebergs and teem
ing trades in skins, we lose at least our repu
tation for sanity and an amount of money
woful indeed to compute. Of course, we
might console ourselves with the reflection
that we had got wisdom by experienoe; but
when we meditated how much in the course
of our history we had paid for that valuable
commodity already, it might not prove a very
potent comfort. Moral: let us mind our own
business at home.
TUB KINO OF SPAIN.
The throne of Spain 1 has now been vacant
about a year, and although the country ap
peared to get along very well for a time with
nnt Vino, dissatisfaction , with the Provi-
eirmoi fVwmmfint has been increasing, and
tnnttAra Iiava aow come to such a pass that
unless something is speedily done to complete
in a satisfactory manner tne gooa wont com
Tr,on v.- 41m A-rnulsion of Isabella, the
prospects are that a new revolution .will be
inaugurated. In the exultation of their new
found liberty,' the Spaniards were satisfied
mid. oiirtnnt unvthincr. but the dilatory policy
!VU mwt- J - jr w m m
of the men who assumed the responsibilities
of the Government gave ample opportunity
for wnl factions to organize and. assert their
claims to notice. As time passed on the
line between the Republicans and Monarch
ists became more definitely drawn, and the
advocates of the largest liberty were less dis
posed to yield anything to their opponents.
The regency of Marshal Serrano was looked
upon as a mere makeshift, and the difficulty
in finding a suitable and acceptable person to
fill the vacant throne served to strengthen the
hands of those who were in favor of doing
away with thrones and kings altogether. The
republican outbreaks in various parts of the
country have been suppressed by force of
arms, but as fast as put down in one place
the enemies of monarchism appeared in an
other, and the Government has had its hands
full to manage them. In addition to this
there is a revolution in the wealthiest and
most ' important of Spain's colonial posses
sions, which hns managed to at least hold its
own against the Spanish forces, and which
threaten the mother country by a prospect of
the ultimate interference of the United
States.
In this muddled state of affairs, Serrano
and his colaborers have apparently come to
the conclusion that it is high time that the
election of a permanent ruler was consum
mated. We are consequently informed that
the Council of Ministers has fixed upon the
Duke of Genoa as the future King of Spain,
and that his name will be presented to the
Cortes in a few days. The probabilities are
that this young gentleman will be elected,
and he ought certainly to prove a good choice
if there is any merit in the length of time it
has taken to make a selection, or the thorough
canvass of the merits of all the available and
unavailable candidates that could possibly be
put up. At any rate, there will be a visible
head to the State, but whether that will be
sufficient to reconcile all the disturbing ele
ments that are now in conflict is yet to be
determined.
Prince Thomas Albert Victor, Duke of
Genoa, and the, at present, prospective King
of Spain, is the nephew of King Victor
Emanuel. He is now between fourteen and
fifteen years of age, and is at present com
pleting his education in England. Report
speaks well of him, but he is too young yet
to have made much of a mark in the world,
and it remains to be seen what kind of a
monarch he will make. In case of the Duke
of Genoa becoming the King of Spain, the
most disappointed candidate will be the Duke
de Montpensier. This prince has a large and
influential party advocating his claims to the
throne, and to reconcile them, the project
of a marriage between the Duke of Genoa and
the Princess Maria, third daughter of the
Duke de Montpensier, has been started. Such
an arrangement as this is expected to satisfy
all but the extremists of both sides the
Bourbon partisans and the uncompromising
republicans.
It would seem that there is more statecraft
and intrigue in this arrangement than sound
political policy; and although the selection of
a youngster like the Duke of Genoa may
have the desired effect of pacifying the coun
try, and completing in a satisfactory manner
the work of the revolution, it must be con
fessed that it is a doubtful experiment, in
which the chances of failure are greater than
those of success. Every friend of liberty will
earnestly desire that Spain shall prosper
under the new order of things, and that one
of the most remarkable revolutions of modern
times shall produce results that will conduce
to the happiness and welfare of the people
and to the spread of liberal ideas; but the
signs of the times are not 07er promising,
and no one will be disappointed if the new
monarchy fails as the Regency and Provi
sional Junta failed before it.
LITERARY EDUCATION.
These columns have advocated recently those
forms of education known as "for business"
and "scientific." We 6peak to-day of that
more general training obtained from a classi
cal course in a good college.
It would, no doubt, be sheer folly for any
authority to dictate to the American people
what sort of education they wish for their
sons. If the practical needs of the age de
mand for certain students the omission of
Greek and Latin from the curriculum, and
the substitution therefor of physical science,
or if want of time or of means necessitates
partial courses for other young men who
mvxt go into business, that college is simply
blinded by prejudice which, in the name of
conservatism, refuses to supply these demands,
especially if the interests needing men thus
trained are of any magnitude. But we must
not forget, in our haste to furnish what is
popular, that another class of students the
sons of rich men whose leisure is to be ample,
or prospective students of professions both
wish and need the broadest and most liberal
culture possible. Hence, while every chance
is given to those who can stay for the "half
loaf" only, to those who seek a higher educa
tion still greater opportunities should be
afforded than are now offered anywhere in
this country. The large dumber of Ameri
cans who go abroad to study proves that the
wants of our students will not be fully sup.
i ni i ..! ... .
t'uou " o nu universities On tile
German plan.
The value of extended theoretical investi
gations appears dearly, when we consider the
capacities of the human . mind and the im
portance of disciplining it to the highest pos
sible point. It certainly is worth our while
to develop the material good of earth, but it
is not all of life. Practical men, in large
numbers, are indispensable; but suppose
their practice had no foundation in theory !
Can we conceive of the art of civil engineer
ing had the science never been determined?
Even the science of language, apparently the
most unpractical of studies, connects itself
with our everyday life. And yet the dis
coverers of the principles constituting these
and all other sciences were theorists, such
J?80"'' Newton,
a boy the mathematics of the law Qf gravita
tmn? say practical men. "Its workings are
ftU he needs to know." But the law of giavi-
tation was merely a guess, based on the fall
of an apple, till Newton's calculations proved
it true for the universe. Suppose man fami
liar with its effects, would the thousand nice
applications of it that are now directed, nay,
suggested, by calculations of its exact power
under given conditions, have ever been pos
sible ? The argument is capable of indefinite
expansion, but enough has been said to make
evident the necessity of preserving a widely
educated class, whose mental discipline shall
be entirely in the direction of abstract study,
and whose aim shall be the development of
pure science.
But, further, literature (we take the word
in its fullest sense) is of itself both a pleasing
and a profitable study. The Sanskrit books
and the cuneiform inscriptions of Chald:i'a
have both been adduced to prove the an
tiquity of civilization far beyond the cen
turies commonly assigned to it. Philology,
the historical study of language, off ors stores
of valuable knowledge to any one in earnest,
and is as yet but in its infancy as regards
certain groups of nations. These studies, it
is true, add nothing directly to our money
bags. A man may devote his life to them,
and die with not one dollar more a year than
he had when he came of age. But what life
is nobler for one who inherits wealth ?
To have contributed a single link to
the great chain of knowledge that binds
the spiritual in man to Him who is an all-wise
spirit, is better than to have built great
houses or laid out vast estates, and neglected
mental culture. We know, of course, that
this life is open but to comparatively few, but
these few are more than enough to demand as
ample endowment for literary professorships
as for scientific chairs. The various courses
in our universities should be kept wholly dis
tinct, so that no students may seek instruc
tion which they cannot find.
On rich parents devolves the duty of
maintaining this culture in the world. Let
no boy who shows ability of this high order
be sent to count up profits on sugar and mo
lasses, if ample means are already in the
father's strong box. Men who must toil for
their daily bread need to be brave indeed if
they will face the self-denials of the poor
student's life. Those who already have wealth
for several generations are the destined cru
saders for the recapture of the intellectual
Jerusalem.
Let Him Withdraw. The opposition to
the re-election of Colonel Elisha W. Davis to
the Legislature from the Tenth District is so
strong and so manifest in the ranks of the
Republican party, that it is his duty
to withdraw from the canvass, in order that a
candidate may be selected who will command
the votes of all the Republicans in the dis
trict, and thus prevent it from falling into the
hands of the Democracy. Colonel Davis is
well aware that, if he remains in the field, he
will not receive the hearty support of the
Republican party of his district. Many votes
that would be cheerfully cast for almost any
other prominent Republican in the district
will be thrown in favor of his Democratic op
ponent, in case an independent Republican
candidate is not placed in the field, while
many others will neglect to vote at all. In
this way the success of the whole City ticket
is imperilled. Colonel Davis claims to be a
good Republican, anxious to serve the party
to the extent of his ability. Let him substan
tiate his claim and his professions by remain
ing no longer an impediment to the success
of the Republicnn ticket throughout the city.
The Tyrant Lopez has been pushed to the
wall at last. The latest advices from the seat
of war in Paraguay, which appear entirely
worthy of credit, state that Lopez has sus
tained two overwhelming defeats, and that in
his flight he was forced to abandon his
steamers. Ever since Count d'Eu assumed
command of the Allied armies, the war has
been prosecuted with unusual vigor, although
the clamor for its abandonment has not
ceased in Brazil and the Argentine Republic,
and there is now a prospect that it will
speedily be brought to a successful close,
even if such a desirable result has not
already been brought about.
Miss Mubphy has made another tremen
dous jump, clearing 11 feet 7 inches at a
single bound. Here's another incontroverti
ble argument in favor of female suffrage.
What show of justice is there in depriving a
woman of a vote who can clear 11 feet 7 J
inches, and yet permitting a man who cannot
jump half that distance to vote as often as he
pleases?
English Textile FAcroiuEs.The inspectors of
factories In Great Britain have Just'lsaued their
semi-monthly reports, and the facts therein em
bodied are of special Interest to the proprietors and
employes of the hundreds of fuctorles scattered
throughout this busy city.
In 1S68 the number of cotton factories in the
northern district of the kingdom was 2210; lu lsos
It was 8M9; and In this period woollen factories had
Increased from lui6 to 10M; worsted factories from
648 to 703 ; flax factories had decreased from 41T to
405; silk factories had Increased from 400 to 691 ; and
new factories, of a description that did not exist at
all In ISM, had been established to the number of
4DT. The number of spindles In these fuctorles has
greatly Increased since 18W, as follows:
13. ISfli
otton 28,010,21T 32,000,014
Jjoollea 1,780,97 4,22,0
Worsted 1,324 549 ,18,10
I.IMS.048 ' l,07W,Sft7
1,093,799 OTS.103
The number of power looms In these factories has
increased from 869,205 in lssa to 640,619 in isos, and
upon these are employed 248,630 power-loom weav
ers, In some cotton mills one weaver being sufllolent
for four looms, while In some woollen mills each
loom requires a weaver. The whole number of per
sons employed In the cotton, woollen, worsted, flax,
and silk factories in lsos was 820,081 ; fa I850 the
number was only 6S2.4&7.
ItcssuH Commerce. The gigantic empire of
Russia, embracing some 80,000,000 of inhabitants and
9,000,000 miles of territory, now that It has relieved
itself from the incubus of serfdom, is beginning to be
one of the leading nations In commercial Import
ance. Its trade with foreign countries has grown
vastly within the last ten years. In that time Its
exports by the Baltio have Increased In value
10,000,000 rubles (8,iKio,ooo), and the value of those
goods shipped upon the Black Sea and across the
western land frontier has nearly douuioa. no im
ports have also Increased aliuoat three-fold by the
lund frontier and have doubled In the northern
ports. Great Urituin and l'russla are the largest uu-
porters of Russian goods, the former taking four
times as much as the latter. The Imports from
foreign Slates In 180T exceeded those In I860 by no
lens than M,3fflt,8n7 roubles (t 13,495,494), the largest
share of which falls to Prussia. The entire value of
the exports and Imports of the empire to and from
European countries (Including Finland) amounted In
1867 to 4f.7,ooo,8S5 roubles 36600,boo). Dnrtug the
same year 11,047 vessels wore entered in Russian
ports, and 11,090 cleared, showing totals respectively
Of 1,8SB,7&8 and 1,400,652 tons.

proved they were fire-proof Indeed, for I witnessed
the opening of the most of them, and In every case
the contents were preserved, while Safes of other
makers were partially or entirely destroyed I at
once concluded to have something that I could de
pend upon, and purchased one of your Safes.
The safe I purchased of vou t. that tim
Jected to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev.
eral gentlemen that rcsido In the neighborhood) at
the destruction of my Marble Paper factory a
Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of the
24th Inst. After digging the safe from the ruins
and opening it this morning, I was much pleased to'
find everything, consisting of books, papers. mone
and silverware, all right. I shall want another ot
your safes as soon as I can get a place to continue
mv business In. I could not rest contented with any
other make of Bares.
