It was designedly, and perhaps appropriately, inteaded to be a burely social affair, without any of the labor agitation aud the eicht-hour demonstrativeness of the day before, and the intention was fully. earried out. Saturday not being a. working- man’s holiday, go fur as the mostgof the wage- workers were concerned, th® attendance was somewhat meagre, consisting for the most part of the leaders, who could afford, 0 be idle, and of women and children, who could as easily spend a day in the rove as at their homes. Probably there were 1,000 people in and out of the grove during the day and evening. The pienic managers, with 2 pardonable disposition to make the best show- ing possible, put the number somewhat higher. The receipts, however, were more com: mensurase to the actual attendance than were those of the day before, when tue marchers in the Procession deadheaded toa man. Yesterday there was no procession, and the attendanve, though dimin- ished, was made up of people who had to Day. ‘the “no-return-check™ rule was not in vorte yesterday, the managers having cvideutly seen the injustice of it, and when one wanted to ro out with the intention of returning at pleas- ure he got the vasteboard that entitled him to the benetit of that privilege. ‘The morniug hours passed away amid music, Gancing, playing games, beer-driuking, and so ov. In the afternoon there were races for the children, The first. was a sack-race, in which twelve small boys were the contes.ants. Each little fellow was tied uo in a sack and all started for the foal, 100 feet away, as fast as they could ‘zo, considering that they were haudcapped, as it were. All received presents, victors as well vanquished, the yalue of the rewards being according to the speed with which they had ruu. ‘the next contest was for twelve little girls, blindfolded, to break a number of flower-pots 100 icet distant. Each contestant was armed with astick, und, having reached the goal, set about belaboring the pots with all Ler might. Enoch carried 9 tub of water on her bead and did her best not to unset. ‘Che best pot-breakers and the best water-corriers were rewarded with cheap parakols, or still- cheaper albums, ‘The rewards in both contests were instenificant, but the fun.to the youthiul contestants was evi-. dently immense.” ‘The last test was a race for the. boys—a ‘sort of “free-for-all, pean pone please” atfair, which was productive of as much sport as the previous runs. ‘The remain- der of the day passed away -pleasantly enouch to those whv.enjoy that sort of thing in dancing, lunening, sleeping under the trees, beer-swallow- ing, ete, ete.

Curoaco, July 5.—Coming in ‘from Hyde Park on the 5-o’clock train Saturday, when we stopped at the Twenty-second street depot my attention was called to no less than eleven nusses sitting on the steps of the depot with Nttle babes fn their arms, or in the carriages which stood less than three feet from the edge of the platform. The nurses seemed to be en- joying themselves, eating nuts and talking swith the usual number of men who frequent the de- pot, while the little ones sat there blinded by the sinoke and frightened by the rash of the constautly-passing trains.

Ford” takes things too much ‘to the great, serious,” as the French say, “ American Soldicr ” is evidently a waz of the firs water; and, while makiug his humorous suggestion that an American Geueral should be sent out to aid the English in South Africa, he must hare been laughing in nis sleeve at the thouzht of how he would raise the dander of some frasvible Brit- isher, already, perhaps, goaded to desperation by the approach of the glorious Fourth. Per- haps, however, a little commiseration taay be spared for the unhappy victim whose stolid na- ture fails to penetrate the witticism. For, when taunted with the inability of the Englisch to conduct warfare with savages, how cau he but recall the gallant deeds of his countrymen in the cause of civilization agatust barbarism in every clime? Howcsn be but remember bow in turn the Caffre, the Maori, the Burmese, the eruel Sepoy, the dusky bandits of Abyseinia and Afghanistan, the sivages in the tever-haunted forests of Ashantee, the fierce pirates of the Persiau and Chins'Seas, the bill robbers of Hin- dostan, the degraded cannibals of the: Pacitic, £ would add the intamous trailickers in the stave- trade, have ezch and all been humbled by the strong right arm of Britain, and their savage natures subdued before the progress of bnuan- ity, gory though it be? ‘The curious thing, however, is that he should suppose that Americaus iguore these facts, patent to the whole world, or that they forzet Unat they possuss, in common with theirEnglish brethren, the grand mission of the Aap lo Saxon Tave, the carrying of civilization to. the utter- most parts of thecarth. Yours truly, A.B, Flarrison’s Domagogism. To the Editor of The Tribune. Curcaco, July 5.—It is not now, and never Was, the duty of the Superintendent of the Fire Department to fix the salaries of the members of the Department, ‘Mr. Hatrison wanted the credit of baying the oxpenses of the Depart- ment curtalled without assuming the responsi- bility of doing it himself. His plea of being a taxpayer and in favor of economy is simply nonsense of the most obvious character, If he wanted the men to take less, be bad only to no- tify the Department officially that men who did not voluntarily offer to accept the necessary re- duction might consider their places as subject to'the ability of the city to procure other men at the reduecd rate. 3 George Armour hit the nail squarely on the head when he suid to your reporter that it was a piece of demagogism; that Harrison wanted to wet the credit of being economical, but bad not the courage to take the respoustbility of making the reduction. It was an attempt to create flap-doodle on the part of the Kentuckian, which is as silly as hfs speech to the Sharpshooters, and a great deal more dangerous, Af the Citizens’ Association desire the respect of this community, they won't indorse any such nonseuse as a member of that body is reported as uttering to areporter, “Guilty of insubor- dination,"—indeed! I suppose he would call it insubordination if Mr. Benner had refused to remove dead cats from the alleys of the city. ‘The fact is, that, instead of a business man, we have got a politician for Mayor, and these ¢3- timable Republican gentlemen who voted for him will probably get enough of him before he Gets through. Os oF THE PEOPLE. Luminiferons Ether, :., To the Editor of The Tribune. Cmicsco, July 4.—A writer in last Sunday's TrinoxE disputes. the existence of the resisting medium of ether,and affirms that space isa vacuum. ‘ The majesty of this subject has been discnésed by some of, the ablest minds of the past and present age; and the existence of the inter- stellar medium isos well settled os any other astronomical question, If space were a vacuum there could be no motion, heat, or light; in fact, no organized: matter, The result would be chaos, ‘The propérties of this ether are peculiar. lt fs {afinitely more attenuated than gas, and is more like a plasm thao air. It is produced or increased by any exciting cause. When matter Is brought into proper condition the influences | of this ether generates life. We observe its uction upon animals und plants. Ic causes them to grow, propelling the biood and sap to and from the heart, and oy the attraction and repuis‘on agency the atoms aud moiecules of matter Vibrate, the heart beats in the thorax, and the planets swing in their orbits. By its influence, moving in ethereal waves, our actions, our words, our thoughts, our images are impressed or painted on all the universe. Every acom of matter records the events of human history. Every blade of grass, the leaf of the oak, the lity of the valley, the rose of the garden, are all beautifully colored by the chemical raf’ of this ether. . It exists in all nature. {¢ pervades all space, from the mterstices formed by the smallest atoms of matter to the immense distances that Stretch away from world tu world. or from sun tosun, It exists in all matter, from the monad to the mammoth, end from: gatelites to suns.

Lux The Nuisance of the Fourth. To the Extttor of Tie Tribune. Curcaco, July 5.—Onr present Mayor asserts Quite loudly that he must carry out the lew as he finds it. Very well. How about the shoot ing nuisance on the Fourth? Did our police, even try to stop it, and did they arrest one single Violator of the ordinance? All stationery and candy stores over town did display their fire- Work-merchandise in spite of the ordinance for- biading the retail trade of That stuff. ‘Did the police haul up one solitary retailer? Not much, flowever foolish it mav be, and dangerous tolet boys get used to fool around with pistols: when small und big loafers commenced to throw fire- crackers rigat under thestreet-carsand’ vehicles, it was the duty of the police to arrest such bummers and vagrants. “Did they even try it?I ask. Or did thev resign their duty and let hell have its own way? I heard it said, “Well, our youth must have a little fun.” I pity the routh that is taught to consider such outbursts of bar- barism and rufllanism fun! Woe to the country whose boys are taught to call the violatio of daw und order and common sense aud decency fan. If those fools that donot know any better way to show national joy than by raising a reign of mob in out strects only crippled and killed each other mutually, the country would bave no occasion toweep. But cannot the death of many @ woman in delicate condition, und cannot the injury for lifetime of many an innocent citizen, be.traced right back to this foolish and out- rageous conduct, which our- Mayor did not try tostop?. I ask our citizens, I apocal to their 00d horse-sense,—if the mania of the Fourth bas Jeft any in Chicago,—is the life of one aiother replaced by the damnable pleasure of a hbundced millions of fools und law-breakers? Lf every solitary law-breaker of this stamp had for Pon jaw yesterday I would not be sorry cause, if it was possible to teach sucl their jaw-boue likely fesson, the loss of would be this lesson. Fi A Surrerer oF Tue Founta. Doing Wis Duty. To the Editor of The Tribune. Catcaco, July 5.—I was very much enrprised to hear of the discharge of Matt Benner; but, after hearing both sides of the question, Isay the Mayor was rignt. Benner did not display much zeal in helping to reduce the expenses.of his Gepartment, and I think bis conduct savored of insubordination. But the Mayor has adopted the right maxim. Orders must and: shall be obeyed,especially when it tends to the interest of the taxvayer. T am a large property-holder, and appreciate anything that lessens our taxes, I was surprised to read of une attitude sssumed by some of our Aldermen and some of our tax- aviny citizens toward him for doing his duty. the above-mentioned parties may go back on him, but the taxpayers and_the business-men will certainly uphold bim in doing his duzy. Is isastep our city Government should have taken loug azo. Our Council should join with the Mayor in ‘trying to lessen the city expenses; it would mect the approval of every taxpayer and yoter in Chicago. Ttlooks to me as is Mr. Harrison intends to run the City Government for the best interest of the people. His action thus far looks as if he does not care much for popularity, because he is dealing alixe with friends and foes. Some parties are foolish enough to- ask if the com- tunity will sustain the removal. In answer to the question, i will say that all { haye’spoken to about it promptly ftdorse the action of the Mayor. We want a head to our City Gorern- ment, and not a vaciliating tool that any one could walk over, As I said before, Tam a laree Pproverty-holder, and also a Republican, and 1 thorougnly indorss the action of the Mayor, and Ldo not hesitate to say that every ocher property-holder in Chicago will say to bim, “Do your duty fearlessly and we will all stand by you.” ‘The city will not suffer a particle on account of Benner’s removal. [tis absurd to say the elty sustaiog .a loss. It is not so, for there ure over seventy-five meu in the Fire De- partinent just as capable as Mr. Benner to take charge of the Department. Con, R. &. Hues. British Vator. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cmoaco, July 5.—It is with reluctance that T attempt to prove the absurdity of “ American Soldier’s” assertions, for his prejudices and van- ity-bave doubtless so far misled him as to draw upon himself the ridicule of all sensible men. . Judging him by his unfounded statements, ‘one is led to the conclusion that be fs utterly igaor- ant of the achievements of the British arms in all the bloody engazements in which they have participated. In that case, instead of writing of matters he knows but little about, it would have been wiser for hit to haye studied more thau he bas done the unquestionable valor of Britis soldiers, what they have always done, and are always prepared to do. Honor to whom honor is dus. Such fields as Blenheim, Salawanca, Waterloo, Inkermas, Balaclava, etc., do not bear testimony to the truth ofthestatement that, as “American Soldier” says, the English are overcome with fear and im- becilitv.§ At Balaclava “fhe Six Hundred? charged down a valley over a mile in length, between the flanking batteries of the Fedioukine Alls und the Causeway Heights, took thirty guns in position, and cut tteir way into and out of the Russian army. This is the cloth of gold whieh ‘American Soldier” alludes to, with ‘Tennyson as a historian. I challenge **Amer- icau Soldier” to produce me its parallel in the whole history of the American: arms. At Isandula seven companies went down to a man, overwhelmed by 20,090 to 24,009 Zulus. At Rorke’s Drift, eightv men, in: command of tio young Lieutenants, withstood the con- tinuous day and nicht astacks of 4,000 Zulus, with vo other barricade thao a few bags of meal. These are the men “Ameri- cau Soldier ? will have are overcome with fear and imbecility. Doubtless he believes not fo history, unless it be the outerowth of his own imagination, as Witness bis statement substay- tially as follows (in answer to my request to naine the twenty-five celebrated Indian-tihtin Generals he alluded to): “Any subaltern in our army Who has seen service on the plains is the superior of auy English General in Africa.” His modesty is too much, too- much: indeed. I wilt not answer his puns and insinuations fur- ther than to state that the difference octween a Sharp's rifle and an assegai is precisely the same as that existing between a gentleman and awhistle made out of a pie’s tail, assuming American Soldier” to be the wiistle.

Cnicago, July 5.—As one intervsted, in com- mon with all thouchtful people, in the manace- ment of our public schools, I took upon myself the duty of inquiring as to the statements made in your paper of the ist int, by Mr. J. T. Healy. In justice to the Board of Education, I take the liverty of stating the result of my inquiry in an equaily public manner. ‘irst—Mr. Healy states the school-seating capacity of the First, Second, Third, sind Fourth Wards af 8,400; the actual tsures are 7,107; be states that oP the Fifth Ward to be 2,224; the true number is 3,174. Second~Mr. Healy complains that many Third and Fourth Ward children are being taught in the Fifth Ward schools, but overivoks the fact that quite as many, if vot more, Fifth Ward children attend schools in the other wards. In fact, there are none of the eight schools in the First, Second, Third, and Fourtn’ Wards, except possibly the Jones. Haven, and Third Avenue Schools, that are not now accommodating - chil- dren who reside within the‘Vifth Ward limits. Third—Had Mr: Healy stuaied the School- Census Report of 1873 be’ would have found (as you intimated in your comments) that there Were uo less than 2,930 children in parocbial schoofs fn the Fifth Ward,—a number bat a trifle less than the. whole number attending its public schools. - Mr. Hesly mag say that the at- tendance. on parochial schools is so large be- cause it is impossible for parents to send: their children elsewhere, fading the last report (April, 1378) for ‘the but probably will not, upon ; School-year previous, showing “that while 556 quildren baa applied for admission to the Fifth Ward schools, and were temporarily refused for want of room: bn sixty-six of the umber sub- ¢ accommodated, and in the First, Secoad, Third, and Fourth Wards 470 children similarly applied, and eighteen simil- arly failed ‘of admission, From these fzures We conclude that many children ip the Fifth Ward are being educated in the parochial schools by the..choies of their pai ents, and would nop be allowed to "attend. the public schools in any event, and clase “is very larre throughout. Tear, steadily facreasing Smt cig) and i, ‘ourth—Mr. Healy. compiatns’ that Ci = tees on the Fifth Ward “Schools from the Boat “are never known to visit them.”’. This grave statement, 1 am advised, is another error of Mr. Healy’s informant, as the teachers in all the Schools of that ward Will instruct Mr. Healy on application. The schools of the Fifth Ward sre visited frequently -by the Board’s proper Committee. ‘ 4’ sth—In general reply, and as a matter of gratifying public information, presented by those best qualifled to judge of the fact, the nuinber of children debarred from public-school privileges in the city by reason of insufficiency of accommodation does not exceed 3,000 at the present time, which secms effectually to answer Mr. Healy’s charge that there 7,300 thus de- barred in the Fifth Ward alone, Sizth—Tonching the implied charze of discrimination in favor : aud against. the. Fifth, it seem to the writer tion, except in the imagination of Mr. Healy. ‘The Board of Education knows no ward bound. aries, uo political divisions, ig governed by the necessities of the population,’ and is honestly and faithfully endeavoring to do its duty by the children of the city, with a full knowledge of the respousibility it has assumed,—tuis, at least, I Grmly believe, as far a3 the members thereof whose acquaintance I have are convern- ed,—and they are a large majority thereof. At might be well to say in Teply to one clause of Mr. Healy’s letter. that the Board of Educs- tion 1s now in’ possession of a lot, in close prox- imity to the Healy slouzh, purchased bya’ for- mer Board of Mr. Healy himself, and that it doubtless would have been built upon, ‘or the attempt made to utilize it, were it not that many of the residents of the ward have strenu- ously, and. in some cases, violeatly, protested against its use fora school site, from'the danger to the children apprehended from such a ous locality. J. esis 4 Shoemakers' Wages. To the Rattor of The Tribune. Cucaqo, Joly 5.—In g recent issue of Taz Sonpay Triscne there appeared an article Purporting to be’ an interview-with one of the leading firms engaged in the manufacture of men’s bouts and shoes in this city. The object of the interview, so far asthe firm was con- cerned, was to lend the public to believe that a liberal price was pafd for this Ine of goods, and men engaged in making them could make good Wages. To demonstrate this assertion, the firm, with an apparent candor and honesty of purpose, well calculated to disarm suspicion of unfairness on their p: threw open their wages account for examination, and gave figures from it which made a favorable showing on their side of the Iedger. ‘The account showed the men to be making from $15 to $30 per week. Iu order to get 2 proper understanding of the case, it is necessary to understand the system under which the men work. “Since the adoption of the factory principle the men work in teams” aud by “posits? A “team” con- sists of from fivé to eleven, and sometimer fixteen men. in this city the’ men employed in making meu’s boots and shoes, as a rule, work in “pairs” (except on sewed work), though sometimes singly. As the firm interviewed was engaged in the manufacture of men’s boots and shoes, pezged, the writer will confine bimeelf to this brauch alone. ‘ When a mao is employed to work in one of the factories of this city he secures the servizes of a “striker,” and the two men set up their bench, and are ready for work. “A,” the man employed by the firm, takes out the work, and it is charged to him ‘by “the foreman or superinteddent. of the making depart- ment. At the end of the week, or when the pay-roll has been made up, the name of A”? isthen transferred from the'Superintendent’s book to the wages account, and thus *A” draws the money carnca by A and B, while ‘in’ the wages account the whole amount is charged. to A, and appears as the wages of A. only, Jn order to. show the public what wages is actually made by men working in this depart- ment, the writer will oresent the book accounts of two expert men working on fine calf boots, and also of tivo men workin, on what is known in the trade as “ stogies,” or coarse work. ‘The writer will first take the book account of the two experts, 4 und’ “B,” commencing with the fall season of 1878, and closing with the spring season of June, 1870: : Sent. 2. does not to have any founda- 5 97:75 June 14 24.74|Tone 22, 21.50) June 28, ‘Thus it will be seen we have an aceregate or annual product for the year of two seasous the sum of $707.75, which, being divided by 52, would give an average weekly wages for ** A” and “ B” ‘combined ‘the sum of $15.36, oran averuge of $7.63 to.each man. These figures are from the books, and can be veriflea by com- parison with the wages account of the firm. Is this wages for skilled American labor? Why, the conrtnon Jaborer on the streets makes bet~ ter wages. ‘he writer will now present the bool account of *C” and Bie Workiug on tes s” or coarse work for the same period: { : We haye in the annual account of craditor and debtor the. gross amount of $191.35, whico would be an annual wage of $210.67}¢ ‘for cach iwau. [t will be observed, however, in the latter euse that those two men were paired seventeen weeks only, ont of the Sfty-two—t. ¢., from August to December, 1578—they were paired eleven weeks, und in. 1879, from January to Jane, six weeks... ff we take the ume each man worked singly, and add’it to the time worked in pairs, the amount earned would give an an- nual prodaet for their labor of $273.65, or a weekly average of $5.26 foreach map.” ‘We wiil not pretend to comment on these fig- ures. ‘The English language fails to suoply words to give expression to or characterize such a condition of things. ates We are not now addressing the principals of sthese firms. It is folly to reason. They have the whip-hand and they are using it. “They are slike indifferent to the cries of humanity as they are to the duties and objizations of man to man. ‘They know no God ‘but Mammon; they worship at no shrine bat Mammon’s shrine. Their avarice and’ cupidity harden their hearts against all appeals of bumanity, cloud their judgment, and close the .eyes of their souls to all human und godlike insuncts; and, lost to all principles of honor and manhood; they are absorbed in the accumulation of wealth at what- evér sacrifice it may cost. But with these men we have no controversy. ‘They have stated their case to the public, aud we but ask the privilege of doing the same, leaving the decision to a conscientious and dis- criminating public judgment while we pursue our bumble path in the grand conformation of society.
