Watt Srreer Yesterpay.—The transac- tions in stocks yesterday amounted to about 98,000 shares. The fluctuations were unim- portant. Business was fairly distributed. Gold declined from 112 1-4 to 111 7-8. Money loaned on call at 2 percent. Gov- ernment and good railway bonds were gen- erally steady and in moderate request by in- vestors. Tue Jesuits in France are to have peace ander the Republic. This determination is another wise resolve of the French rulers. Tae Heratp Train to Schenectady on Sunday morning last is the theme of a very interesting narrative which we print this morning. Tur Exrrapizion Questio’ is a-great bug- bear with the English Ministry, and even Mr. Disraeli finds excuses for not discussing it. There is little wonder he is indisposed to be taikative on the subject. A graver blunder was never perpretated in the diplo- matic history of England. Tus Surneme Covrr of the United States has decided in the bankruptcy case of Jay Cooke & Co. that the United States have priority in the separate and individual estates of the bankrupt partners. 'Phis will leave exceedingly small dividends for the other creditors. Tux 'Lonasuorumen’s Starke is the latest blunder. In a city where probably a hundred thousand men are out of employment three or four thousand suddenly stop work upon a demand for increased pay. The demand is probably just, but where there are so many without bread there will be plenty to accept the half leaf, and those who possessed it will lose it. Lorp Anrgcorn is about to retire from Ireland, and it 1s said Lord Wharncliffe will succeed him. If Abercorn ceases to be Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at this time it will spoil one of Columbkill’s prophecies, which predicts a great European war during his administration. Mr. Disraeli must see to it that Abercorn does not retire until the prophecy is verified. Exouiso Porrcy may be classed among those things which Dundreary declares ‘‘no fellow can find out.” One of the under secretaries for Foreign Affairs says in Parlia- ment he is unaware of any intention to attack Dahomey, at the same time that the ports of the African potentate are blockaded by English ships. If this is not war it is a singular peace policy. Snepson’s Litre Game, as it is told in the Herap this morning, is something new in the way of confidence operations. Simpson represented himself as a reformed convict, who had got religion and he expected to live by it. His scheme was discovered, how- ever, and now he will become a real convict and nobody will care whether he gets religion or not. Iv Sxcnetany Roseson is guilty of the charges alleged against him in Mr. Whit- thorne’s speech in the House yesterday it is clearly a public duty to let the Senate deter- mine whether his offeyce is impeachable. As the matter now stands it is in very fair shape for the campaign; but if the Secretary is not guilty it is very unjust to him, and if he is guilty the country is wronged by any delay in bringing him to trial. Tue Poticr secured a first class burglar yesterday, and captured his ‘‘pal” and his “kit.” If the man can only be punished now that he is in custody it will be well, but at any rate the example of Detectives Fields and O'Connor is worthy of imitation by other detectives. By tollowing up the afrest of Jones by an examination of the premises where he resided the evidence of his nefari- pus business was discovered, aad now it only remains to arraign and punish him for some of his many offences. A Workinomen’s Merrixo Tompkins square yesterday, after which a procession was formed and proceeded to the City Hall to ask for work from the Mayor, | the Comptroller and the Commissioner of Public Works. All this was well enough, but these workingmen seem to forget that public works are not undertaken merely to | ‘4 ‘ supply men out of employment with labor and that city governments are not organized as labor bureaus.

The Republican Canvass—-What the Party Should Do. Governor Hayes’ letter of acceptance did what the Cincinnati platform entirely failed to do; it gave definite promises and pledges of reform and good government. It had an important and fortunate effect upon the party fortunes, for it did what the Cincin- nati platform entirely failed to do—it brought back to the republican ranks a large body of voters, represented by Mr. Schurz, Mr. Bryant and other leaders in sympathy with them; men whose position was doubt- ful and whose conclusions were watched with much anxiety by persons who desire the success of the republican party in November. This class of independent voters were not persuaded by the Cincin- nati platform; but when Governor Hayes issued his letter they were satisfied and gave in their allegiance, They saw there a definite pledge of civil service reform, sound money and of liberal and consti- tutional management in Southern af- fairs—the three points of policy about which all thoughtful citizens are anxious. It may be correctly said, therefore, that Governor Hayes’ letter did what the Cincinnati platform entirely failed to do—it secured to the republicans the sup- port of a class of voters without whose votes they cannot hope to carry the election. But, on the other hand, the Hayes letter excited the contempt and alarm of a con- siderable and very powerful part of the re- publican party—of the actual chiefs and rulers of that party in fact. The President thought it offensive toward himself. Senator Spencer, Senator Logan, Senator Sargent and the Senatorial Ring generally re- garded it as a most ill advised and ignorant document. More than one of them spoke of it as “rot,” and de- clared that it would very seriously damage “the party.” ‘It is the hay at the end of the pole that makes the horse pull,” said one of them ; ‘show are you going to get men to work if you can’t promise them an of- fice?” In short, the machine politicians who have brought the republican party to its present condition of weakness, but who have all the while feathered their own nests, and who have not the least idea of giving up their supremacy, were for the moment bit- terly offended. Since their first outburst they have been silent but by no means in- active. On the contrary, they have been extremely busy. They are fortifying them- selves. They are causing the dismissal from the public service of all who are known to be in sympathy with Governor Hayes’ letter. Since that letter was issued they have turned out Postmaster General Jewell, Commis- sioner Pratt, District Attorney Dyer, Mr. Yaryan and a considerable number of minor public officers, of tried fidelity, in different parts of the country. They have substituted in every case for these faithful officers ‘‘safe party men”—men who belong conspicuously tothe very class of ‘machine politicians” whom Governor Hayes’ letter condemns and offends. They have begun a process of whitewashing other public officials, as, for instance, Secretary Robeson. They havo caused the nomination of Marshal Packard in Louisiana, as a signal that the rule of terror and thievery in the South is not to stop ; and while we see men like C. C. Sheats appointed to federal office in Alabama, Bab- cock retained in his place in Washington, Orth, who, but for a statute of limitations might be under criminal indictment, run- ning for Governor in Indiana, and Secretary of War Cameron urging the use of United States troops in South Carolina, the organs of the party and many of its prominent speakers begin already to ‘hoist the bloody shirt” and appeal to the people with tales of outrage, most of which are false, and none of which have any relation to the canvass. One of the most effective speakers in the party—a man of considerable influence—de- clared the other day that the strongest and the only argument he cared to make for re- publican votes was that it was not safe to trust the South in the hands of demo- crats. Meantime Mr. Zachariah Chandler is made chairman of the Republican Na- tiopal Committee, and has begun the circu- lation of documents the clear intention of which isto arouse religious hatred and keep alive the spirit of prejudice against the Southern white people, as is sufficently evi- dent from the following titles :—‘‘The Bitle the Security of American Institutions;” “Religious Liberty, Our Perils and Hopes;” “Vaticanism in Germany and the United States ;” ‘Relations of the State to Religion and the Public Schools ;” “The Bourbon Conspiracy to Rule or Destroy the Nation ;” “Democratic Violence, Proscription and In- tolerance;” ‘Spirit of the White-Line Democ, racy—Duty of the Republican Party to Main- tain the Rights of the Colored Men ;” “Jeffer- son Davis and Amnesty,” being the notorious Blaine debate; ‘Can the Nation Trust the Democratic Party?” and so on. That is to say, under the rule of Mr. Chandler, the Pope and the “bloody shirt” are to be made the two leading issues in a eampaign where the candidate has declared that civil service reform, constitutional government and a sound currency are the real issues. In the bundle of republican documents which lies before us, by the way, we find but one on the currency, and that declares that the republican party will cer- tainly resume January 1, 1879, and we find one in favor of *‘Protection,” which we rec- ommend t» our neighbor the Evening Post. Now, the republigan party is composed of two sections. One of these sincerely desires all that Governor Hayes has promised; the | promised reforms, and is determined to pre- vent them. This last section has control of the whole machinery of the party. terest Mr. Chandler circulates documents and appoints speakers; in its interest the President removes faithful officers who favor reform and appoints ‘‘safe party men;” in its interest, and for its protection and profit, men who have prosecuted whiskey thieves are disgraced and the Whiskey Ring gets a new assurance of security. This is a matter of vital importance. The reforming element of the republican party supported General Grant in 1868 and again in 1872, but | it found itself each time merely a tail to the machine kite, good to make that kite fly, but with no power to control it. General Grant, when he came into power, was, we believe, as sincerely in sympathy with re- . other is just as sincerely opposed to all the | In its in- | | \ form as Governor Hayes is now; but he was instantly shown by the machine men that if he wanted a quiet life and a little influence with his own administration he must sur- reuder to them. He did surrender; and who shall assure us that Governor Hayes will not also be forced to succumb? He is said to be a man of determination; but is he more obstinate than Gen- eral Grant? We can cull out of the President's remarks, reports and mes- sages from 1865 to 1870 sentiments and dec- larations precisely those for which Governor Hayes’ letter is now justly praised. But the “machine men” were too much for him. What, we repeat, shall assure us against a similar misfortune if Governor Hayes is elected? We warn republican reformers that they cannot afford to sit still and let Mr. Chandler and the Ring manage the party affairs. They must themselves take the lead; they must speak out against the policy whose details we have shown. They must protest and make the weight of their protest felt. It is far better for the reform republi- cans that the party should be beaten than that they should help once more, and for another four years, tosaddle the country with the rule of such men as the Spencers, Sargents, Packards, Shepherds, Babcocks, Logans, Carpenters, Frelinghuysens, Robe- sons, Camerons and Mortons. We advise them to make their influence clearly pre- dominant or else to abandon what, if they cannot do so, must be a hopeless task. Is This the Way to Wint Governor Tilden has honored a corre- spondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer with an expression of his views upon the canvass. The summing up of the conversation is in these words :—‘‘There is one thing all of us as good democrats can do. We can unite in a vigorous campaign against our common enemy. We can all agree in our determina- tion to root out the fraud end corruption and dishonesty which we see daily exemplified in that party. We may have our different views on matters of policy or finance and the like. You people out in Ohio may believe one way and we people here in New York another. One is as honest in his belief as the other. But the thing for us all to do now is to unite and make our battle on grounds on which we can all agree, and then, after we have won our victory over acommon enemy, is time enough to settle our differences among ourselves.” In other words, the Gov- ernor will avoid every issue upon which the country has any feeling and ask the people to vote upon an issue that is imaginary. Reform is very well in its way, but we have little confidence that Mr. Tilden would do any better than Washington, whose Secre- tary of the Treasury was denounced as a “corruptionist” by the early reformers; or Jefferson, who was arraigned as “corrupt” for his Louisiana purchase; or John Quincy Adams, who made a ‘‘corrupt” bargain with Clay; or Andrew Jackson, who ‘‘corruptly” removed every Cabinet officer who would not accept as a social equal Timberlake's widow; or Martin Van Buren, who was the father of the “corrupt” Albany Regency; or John Tyler, who sought to ‘‘corrupt” the whig party by patronage; or Franklin Pierce, who aimed by ‘“‘corrapt” means to force slavery on Kan- sas; or James Buchanan, whose ‘‘corrup- tions” were the basis of the Covode Commit- tee’s report; or Andrew Johnson, who had as close relations with ‘‘corrupt” whiskey people as Grant. We say we have no confi- dence that Mr. Tilden will do any better than Washington, for instance; but we have no doubt he will do the best he can. In or- der to inspire confidence in his willingness and ability he should make his political pro- fession of faith specific and plain. Instead of the vague, misty generalization, addressed to an Ohio reporter, let him say:—“‘If elected President I willremove no man from office except for cause, and appoint no one except for fitness. I will ignore party associations in making appointments, except to the high places, where I will need the counsel of party friends. I will not accept a nomina- tion fora second term. I will deal with ne- gro killers in the South as I dealt with Do- lan. I will veto any measure that interferes with the public credit.” This is real reform, and ifthe Governor presents his views in this definite, intelligible manner the coun- try will understand them. But this holding up the one word ‘‘re- form” without clearly showing what it means and asking people to vote for it is like the charlatan at the county fair with his medicines that will ‘‘cure everything for adollar.” The cure-everything-for-a-dollar poligy will never win. No doubt the Goy- ernor was mystifying the Ohio reporter and reserving his real ideas for his letter. In tue Bro Horn Movntarys.—We print this morning a very interesting letter from our correspondent with General Crook's ex- pedition, detailing, in picturesque language, the experiences of a trip among the Big Horn Mountains, where it is believed that even the foot of the red man has not penetrated. Hoping to find the evidences of the existence of gold onthe crest of the Big Horn our correspondent was induced to make this journey, and, though he failed in this pur- pose, or saw only signs of the absence of the precious metal, his descriptions of seenery— mountains and the rivers and lakes, ridges and canyons of mountains—and of the wild life of exploration are sufficient to repay him for his toil and the reader for the perusal of his story. Next to adventures by flood and field, by unknown paths among strange mountains and valleys, is the pleasure of reading about them. This story will be found as fresh as the breezes which blow over the grand peaks of the Big Horn, ten thousand feet above the level of the sea, and we commend it to our readers, especially to | such as sigh for the mountains but can only contemplate them from afar. Wrxstow's Warttnes, which we print this morning, are singularly interesting not only asa plaint for what was good and pure in his own life, but as an illustration of the way in which business is done in the godly city of Boston, The main purpose of Winslow's letters is to prove that he was not all his life ‘‘a pious fraud ;” but this being accepted os true his story becomes all the more painful. Evidently he was as much a victim of the loose business notions of the time as to any natural inclination toward wrong doing, Amateur Oarsmen and the Centennial Regattas. The entries for the Centennial Rowing Re- gatta on the Schuylkill close to-day, and there is little doubt that the most prominent rowing clubs in the country have made en- tries for the races on the programme. In view of the fact that we have invited amateur oarsmen from all parts of the world to com- pete, that one of the Cambridge University crews is already here and in practice and that other crews are coming, it behooves the Qualification Committee in Philadelphia to closely gcrutinize every entry made, so that we shall have fairand honorable competition in the sports. Of late there seems to bea tendency on the part of some rowing clubs to get racing crews together for the purpose of winning prizes and putting money in the pockets of the men who back such crews if they win. There are men connected with some of these boat clubs who do nothing but row, have no employment but that of being members of such clubs, and who, during the winter, when there is no racing, are willing to turn their hands to any kind of labor to make a liv- ing. In the summer, or during the row- ing season, they row shell boats, go into training and live without any expense to themselves. And these men are called ama- teurs, some of them graduates of colleges, and their sole means of supporting them- selves is their connection with a boat club. Amateurs who have legitimate business to attend to, and who only practise and be- come proficient in the sport in their leisure hours, have no chance to compete with these semi-professionals, who do nothing else but row and who use the sportasa means of help or profit, The Centennial Regatta Committee, as well as the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen,, will do well to consider thoroughly this question without delay, and seek means to avoid the evils it is likely to produce. The Pity of It. A North Carolina journal which sup- ports Tilden says :—‘‘Black against white— twist and turn it as you please—that’s the issue in this and every other State,” We are sorry to think this is true. It is one of the misfortunes of our pol- itics, and prevents an intelligent con- sideration of important questions. Black against white, North against South, race against race, section against section, this is the result of ten years of ‘‘peace.” What's more, any such contest must be a losing contest in the end for the South. Nothing issurer. Even if Tilden were to be elected and to attempt the policy of Mr. Johnson— the policy which his Southern supporters expect—his administration would fail as irretrievably as Johnson's failed, and the republicans would come in power again as intolerant as ever. If the Southern men were wise they would take this question out of politics. Let them put an end to intol- erance and ostracism. Let them concede to the negro what the constitution gives him— political equality. Let them invite the negroes into their political associations. Cease this vain effort to substitute political slavery for personal slavery. Hang up the shotgun. In time the whites will rule, as in the endthey mustrule. But they never can do so by so treating the negro and the immigrant that the whole North, from the sheer sense of fair play, is bound to sup- portthem. Tho South needs wisdom. Sho has valor and fortitude, but wisdom is want- ing. Farmers’ Visitors. In the first days of August there is a he- gira of townspeople toward up-country farms. Itis the month when school children are everywhere free and when fruits are ripening. He who has a wife's cousin in the country now resumes his acquaintance, to* drop it again with the advent of colder days, Country relatives are bores in spring, nui- sances in autumn and utter evils in winter. August alone shows them in all their rural loveliness. We hope our reader has a dis- tant relative revelling in verdant luxury upon some green, sloping hillside, where fishing is good, cucumbers brittle, bait easy to dig and horses easy toride. If by any possibility it is uncertain whether you are related to your distant cousin or his wife your welcome will be better, because each will treat you well for the sake of the other. Be sure to take with you all your white duck clothes, so that the farmer's wife may enjoy the hot wash days. A large empty basket will be handy, for when you leave you may bring with you the only half bushel of pears the poor fellow has been able to raise. For real country pleasure along, thin walking stick is desirable, and with it you may poke down the few peaches that the poor, red-faced woman has been watching all summer long and hoping to brandy for winter use. Nobody goes into the country without wish- ing to get fat on pure cream ; so every morn- ing at ten, when you rise for the second breakfast, which has to be prepared for your sake, go into the cool cellar, skim the cream which is rising for the churning and do not forget to leave a city-Jike taste of cocktails in the cup and pan. It would be well to go into the field at any time and ask the farmer to take you to the town for your letters, and if you can invite some fellow citizen to visit you the former will go down for him with the best buggy. He will be delighted to leave his work and go if you will only pay the six cents toll. Sometimes the quiet farmer has had the wish to give his children a taste of watermelons, and, as he has suc- ceeded in raising five or six, to the delight of the poor youngsters, who go down into the patch every day to see the green monsters grow, have no hesitation in plugging every blessed melon until you get one to suit you, then sit on the fence and eat it in sight of the little ones and spurt the pits at them. ‘They think city men are so nice. Melons are country productions, and you must not forget that you goto get country food and luxuries—‘‘plain, healthy, country fare, you know.” Country people get so used to melons and plums that you can take them all for yourself. You had better go to church on Sunday, when the farmer's wife can stay home, and stew over the stove, boiling pears and getting up a nice tea against your return. Beiore you start ask her to wash and iren a white necktie for you. When you come back from church make fun of the } musia : it may be her sister who plays the | Blaine’s letter, so we do not know whether melodeon, Last of cll, when you are leav- ing with that basket with the only half bushel of pears tucked between your knees and you are hinting that you do not hold baskets in the city, be so good as to tell the poor woman that you donot suppose she ever comes to the city, but that if John hap- pens to be in New York you hope he will run into the store for a minute and let you know how they all get along. Do not refuse the big piece of sponge cake she has put up for you; it is easy to throw it out of the car window. When you reach the depot get your flask filled, and tell Jphn that you sup- pose with what currant wine his wife has made he does not care for whiskey. Do not ask him to come to spend a week, with his poor, tired wife, at your house ; but with the joyous exclamation that the first thing you purpose to do the minute you reach the city is to get a first class beefsteak, which you have been hungering after for a month, waft your hand grandly, and sing out, ‘‘Goodby, John.” What Does Mr. Bla Mean? It is reported that Mr. Munn, of Chicago, asked Mr. Blaine to use his influence with General Grant for some purpose or other. Mr. Blaine, according to the story, replied in these terms:—‘I have no influence with the present administration. No man has who is not a thief by instinct.” This 1s the most serious condemnation ever passed upon Grant, It is written by the most popular man in the republican party—the man who came within an ace of receiving its nomina- tion for President. No date is given to Mr. it was written before or after the Convention. It would be interesting to know when the administration passed into the control of men who are thieves ‘‘by instinct.” For seven years Mr. Blaine has supported it. Havo thieves ‘‘by instinct” been all-powerful all the time? Mr, Blaine has had a vast in- finence with the administration. In his in- terview with Mulligan he showed that he had influence enough to promise him a con- sulate. That was only a few weeks since. Are we to understand that thieves ‘‘by in- | stinct” have come into power since this in- terview with Mulligan. We sce no reason for Mr. Blaine putting this indignity upon Grant. The President has done Mr. Blaine many favors, and in return Mr. Blaine has supported him. It isnot long since the President offered a Cabinet portfolio to his nearest friend, Mr. Hale, and if Mr. Blaine had been nominated he would have expected the full support of the administration, thieves “by instinct” and all. Moreover—and this may have escaped Mr. Blaine in writing— there are no members of the administration more conspicuous than Mr. Fish, Mr. Taft and Mr. Morrill. Are they thieves “by in- stinct ?” “ Mr. Blaine has made an unworthy assault upon the administration. He has shared its triumphs, taken its favors, given it his sup- port. He never in its day of power had a word to say against it louder than a whisper. Every fair-minded man will feel that it is unmanly to assail it now. Honor to Philadelphia. The brilliant correspondent of the London Times, whose letters upon the Centennial are models of taste and exact information, devotes a paragraph to Philadelphia as the city of health and of homes. According to statistics ‘‘obtained from the most authentic sources accessible,” he learns that the average of mortality of Philadelphia is less “than that of London and Paris, and considerably less than‘ that of New York, Berlin and Vienna.” The exact average of the death rate per thousand, according to the figures of this correspondent, are as follows:—In Philadel- phia, 22.27; Paris, 23.06; London, 23.33; Berlin, 29.91; New York, 29.93; Vienna, 31.42, In 1874 Philadelphia attained a de- gree of healthfulness almost unparalleled. With the then population of 775,000 the number of deaths was but 14,966, or 19 3-10 per thousand. The correspondent of the Times has been examining this question and discovers that the exceptional healthfulness of Philadelphia is due to the abundant and cheap water sup- ply and to the use made by the poorer classes of the Fairmount Park, an open space cover- ing nearly three thousand acres. As an evi- dence of the popularity of this park it issaid that it was visited last year by eleven mill- ions of persons. More than all, the health- fulness of Philadelphia is to be attributed to its abundant accommodation as the city of homes. It contains one hundred and forty- three thousand dwelling houses, occupied by families, being forty thousand houses more than we have within the limits of the city of New York. Its population covers an area of one hundred and twenty-nine square miles, which are traversed by more than a thousand miles of streets and roads. We say, All honor to Philadelphia! When we think of what has been the misfortune of New York during the past heated spell, of the two thousand children dying from in- fantile diseases in twenty days; when we think of thousands of our honest, virtuous, noble hearted working people confined to the.dirty, narrow, crowded, nasty tenements of the lower part of the island; when we think what might be the case if the broad, open space in Westchester county or Long Island could be reached by rapid transit, we emphasize the tribute paid to Philadelphia by the correspondent of the London Times and honor it asthe one city among Ameri- can cities which deserves to be called the metropolis of homes, Frrenpiy Inxpians, and especially half breed Sioux, are not so trustworthy that the safety of an army or an expedition can be allowed to depend upon them. We have al- ready suggested this in the Heraxp, and our despatch from Bismarck this morning touch- ing the Custer massacre is a confirmation of what we alleged against the danger of trusting Indians. According to this story Custer was not only betrayed into the hands of the savages by a half breed guide, but the Sioux were warned of the attack which followed the misrepresentations of the guide. If not true this narrative is very like what might have been true, and it is corroborated by many cireumstances which show that it is probable it is true. At any rate it is a warning against trusting any one whose friendship for the whites is a betrayal | of his own neople, The Democratic State Canvass. There are many candidates presented to the suffrages of New York for the demo cratic nomination for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, but none of them have the conspicuous merits of Marble and Dorsheimer. Mr. Marble has been for many years the leading democratic journalist of the country. In the darkest hours of the history of the democracy he was loyal and brave. He is a man of rare acquirements, of fine executive abilities, Now, when there is an opportunity to honor so much devotion, the man to name is Marble. Governor Tilden has made his ad- ministration peculiarly one of reform. He believes in his work. He cannot wish to have all that he hag done fall to the ground. There is no one among all the democratie leaders who can take up this work with the earnestness of Mr. Marble. We want a polis tician who is not bound up with rings and political complications, a man who will have the ambition to rival the splendid career of the Governor. If the democrats content themselves with a ring nomination they must be content with a ringrule. The re- publicans mean to strengthen themselves and to carry New York if it is possible, The democrats cannot give them a trick in the game and hope to win. For this reason, in taking Mr. Marble they take a man who represents all the strength of the democracy and who is burdened by none of its weakness. To Mr. Marble we owe the splendid hard money platform of the St Louis Convention. To Mr. Dorsheimer we owe the plucky fight for that platform which saved it in the Convention. The men to carry the banner of Tilden and reform in this State are the men who championed the credit of the country at St. Louis, With Marble for Governor and Dorsheimer for Lieutenant Governor the fight in New York, so far as Tilden is concerned, will, im all probability, be a fight to win. ; Ox Every Hanp the troubles of Turkey seem to increase. Even Greece finds it dif ficult to maintain neutrality, owing to the atrocities of the Bashi-Bazouks in Thessaly and Epirus. When Greece begins to prepare for defence the surroundings of the Ottoman Empire must be bad indeed. Then it ap- pears also that the ill-tortune of the Servians is more than counterbalanced by the success of the Montenegrins. If the army of the Mussulmans can be got on the run by the most insignificant among European Powers the “sick man” must die or all Europe go to war to save him. Tux Kinos County Savines Bangs, accord- ing to the semi-annual statement, show an increase of nearly $1,000,000 over the Jan- uary statement and a still greater increase in the amount due depositors. On the Ist of January the total resources of the banks were $53,878,371; now they are $54,830,263. Then the amount due depositors wag $48,373,130; now it is $49,142,273. The ex- cess of assets over liabilities in January waa $5,382,444 and now it is $5,660,796. These are healthful if not surprising indications, Critics who marvel that Hendricks can support hard money now, after his record in favor of Allen, show a dim appreciation of politics, We felt sure that if Tilden wore firm Hendricks would come down. When the tail found it could not wag the dog it was quite content that the dog should wag the tail. The dog and the tail are essential one to the other, and vivisection is not to be considered.
