The Board of Public Works has made an
other step in the way Of economy. The I'M
derlings of Mr.. Tweed's Office (by stretch of
courtesy called Aldermen) have been directed
to vote, and have voted, to attach to each
street lamp somebody's patent burner and re-
fiector, the expense not to exceed $15 for each
lamp. Let us have more light thrown on this.
We can we'll imagine how such an improve
ment for our street lights might be very valu-
able, and also how the amount mentioned
could be readily thrown away on a very
worthless article. Who owns the reflector 7
Who inspected and reported upon it Let us
have the full particulars, even to the names
of those who are to profit by it. We lately
had certain worthless pavement imposed
upon property-Owners and taxpayers by legis-
lation not more mysterious in its manner than
that attending the present project. The people
were most grieEously swindied in that in
stance. And We half suspect they are to be
in this case of the patent gas burners and
refectOrsn AS there are nearly $4,000 lamps
in the city the job is one of some eonse-
duence, and at a moderate calculation, may
put at least 100000 into the pockets of the
King.

Crops md THE WEATHER.


Our reports from the grain growing regions,
show the prevalence of drOuth to an extent quite
remarkable for the early Summer. AS estl-
mated by the Statstcian of the Department OF
Agriculture, the falling off in Wheat must be
nearly 20 per cent. Until the Goth of June,
Corn everywhere looked pale and grew slowly;
but the intense heat since the solstice has
given this vigorous plant great lift, so that
we may expect full crop, and in some parts
of the West, as the Wabash Valley, great
yield.
Asa general thing, the Atlantic water shed has
not as yet suffered for rain. Grass, the great
crop, is in many counties unusually heavy, in
others an average only A great deal of hay
has been made since the solstice. If no re-
markable change occurs before the end of the
harvest, the summary of the year will be a
medium or small crop of Wheat; a full Corn
crop; Hay as good as usual; Potatoes so plen-
ty that there is no money in raising them for
market; Cheese and Butter at good prices and
with steady demand. This result will draw pru-
dent farmers into better lines of production, and
we are, therefore, glad the season is just as we
find it, 1t will show that profit lies in pro-
ducts that convert Grass and Corn into food
that is to say, in dairy products and in flesh
and will draw us away from themistaken pol
icy of large grain growing, by which we de-
press the European farmer, exhaust our strong
est soils, and enrich nobody but the railroad

Whether we should have any Naturalization
laws is one question; whether, if we have
them, they should be efficient, is another. The
outcry against the bill now in Congress is only
because it is efficient. IL that is an OBJ
lection, why not do away with Natu-
ralization laws altogether When the gentle
men now hypocritically denOuncing the
present measure, because it is likely to Sc
cure the legitimate end of such a law, the
guardianship and protection of the suffrage,
have the frankness to take that ground, we
shall know where and how to meet them.
Till they do, they are in the position of men
attacking law to whose objects they do not
object because it is so framed MS to secure its
objects

CELESTIAL THERAPEUTICS.

The incoming of John Chinaman furnishes a
great many queer, odd, and startling para
graphs for the enlivening of the public jour
nails. We have had full descriptions of his
dress and diet, of his tail and his temples, of
his peculiar manners and Oure-mer customs !;
but the establishment of veritable Chinese
Doctor of Medicine in this city renders pecu-
liarly interesting the item which provokes us
at present to write. The Hon. Secretary of
the Treasury sitting at Washington, sur
rounded by huge mountains of greenbacks
and other papyrus currency, is surprised by
the receipt of a box from San Francisco, upon
opening which he discovers to his horror dried
snakes and centipedes, and flies and bugs,
which, having been entered as drugs and medi-
cnes at the San Francisco Custom House,
have so puzzled the Collector of-that port that
he has sent on these specimens of an entO-
biological pharmacopGia to Mr.. Boutwell,,
and has asked for instructions as to the
legality of admitting such frightful poi
sons into the country at all. One

There is some comfort in having enemies
honest enough to say what they mean. The
Cincinnati Enquirer protesting against the
Funding bill, says /" If this measure passes,
" there will only be one resource, that
of the entire reputation of the debt,
principal and interest" The Inquirer
is one of the leading organs of what
the Tammany Society designates as the only
party that knows how to govern the Coun-
"try;" and it came very near making the last
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
"The entire reputation of the debt, principal
and interest,"-that is plain enough, at least
We shall be very glad to go before the Coun-
try on it this Fall.

ANOTHER WoRD ON THE INCOME TAX.

ANOTHER WORD ON The IACOME I5A.
On June "a, the United States Senate, fifty
nine of it's seventy-twO members being present,
after long and sharp debate in which all the
arguments for and against the bill reenacting
the Income Tax were fully expressed, resolved
that the tax should no longer be imposed.
The action was positive and decided, and was
carried by a majority of eleven of the men,
bers present, the vote being 35 to "a.
But on July 1, during thinly attended
evening session, with only forty-tive members
present, after brief debate in which no new
arguments were advanced, the Senate, by
majority of only four, reversed its deliberate
action of the week before, and resolved that
the tax should be continued. The action was
characterized by haste and an evident desire
to silence debate upon the question. 1t was
not then accepted as the deliberate decision of
the Senate. 1t is not now considered snch
and it is looked upon, to speak simply and
plainly, as fraudulent legislation-the result not
of argument but of trickery. Advantage was
taken of the absence of the Senators who had
persistently opposed the tax, and 1t was re-
newed solely because of their absence. The
Senators guilty of this legislative strategy to
use mild term, though we think they VIII
take as a compliment what we write as a re-

The Currency bill has been passed by both
Houses and goes to the President for his sig
nature. The initiation permitted by it is es-
timated at $54OOOOOO. 1t appears by yester-
days proceedings in the Senate that the bill
also entails large addition to the present
clerical force. This revelation only increases
the regret with which we regard its passage.

The Senate very positively and very properly
refused to increase the Navy from $500 to
10000 men. We shall be glad to believe that
this is an indication of its feeling on the
Army bill, and an intimatien that we are to
have an actual reduction of that very ex-
pensiye organization.

OF the thirty-fve members who had pre-

tax, only three, Messrs. Abbott, Anthony, and

to support the bill. Eleven other of the pre-

With the loss of the three hasty converts,
there was still decided majority against the
proposed law; and that majority still exists.
1t can be and ought to be brought out.
There is one chance remaining to defeat the
measure by which fraction of the Senate
seeks to impose this odious impost, by a
breach of national faith, upon an indignant
people. The bill, if the reports of disagree
ments in the House prove true, must be re-
turned to the Senate. Let the Senators who
are committed in opposition to the tax
see to it that the clause renewing 1t shall
become, in no shape or form, a part of the
law. Let the Senators who have the power to
defeat this obnoxious tax see to it that this ma
jority is again recorded againstit. Their opinions
have not been changed during their absence
the character of the tax has not been altered;
and it has not been made less Odious. The
outrage is too great to be patiently borne
We do not believe the people will again sub
nit to it patiently, and it ought not again to
be levied. VIII the Senators who by their
vote pledged themselves to oppose this tax
permit it, by their absence or silence, finally to

was performed in Memphis, the patient be-
ing an aged lady, the granddaughter of that

now has perfect use of all her limbs.
