UyFORTUNhTE OMJSSyONS

None of the orators of tho Tammany ratif-
cation sought to extenuate the portrait of Gov.
Hoffman, painted by Mayor Hoffman, which
we have hung up to public view. None of
them attempted to grapple with the mysteries
of that branch of the public service in charge
Of Controller Connolly. None Of them endeav-
Ored to show the excellence of that provision
of law which gives three such men as A. Oakley
Hail. Wm M. Tweed, and Richard B. Connolly
power to make appropriations for the Depart
ment of Public Works without hindcrance or
supervision. None of them had anything to
say about the amount to be stolen during the
coming years by means of assessments for
street improvements as consequence OF this
extraordinary power. None Of them referred
to the market rates for lead pipe, nor informed
us whether the CrOton Department has lately
paid 81 cents per pound for that article or not.
None of them stated how many John Glennons
are slowed away in the municipal departments
who don't spend any time in the performance
of duties for which they are paid. None Of
them enlightened us as to the peculiar methods
adopted by Mr.. Oakley Hall to secure the de-
sired result in his darklantern census. A
lame defense Of Democratic mismanagement
of the canals, and hearty execrati0n of tho
law which secures to every citizen the right to
vote once and once only, was about all the
Tammany speakers attempted. The ruthless
robberies of the Ring, by means of which bank
rupts have become millionaires with marvellous
rapidty, and the cunning and shameless frauds
in every branch of the administration which
have made our municipal government re-
proach to a free people, did not furnish mat
ter for Democratic eloquence, much less Tor
Democratic rebuke. 1t is sad.

1t is unreasonable to ask stronger evidence
of the hearty good will of Russia for Germany
or at least the perfect understanding between
the two powers-than the decree of the Gar
which removes from the border departments
the Russian Governors who entertain feelings
of enmity against Germany. 1t is clear from
this and former actions on the part Of Rus
sia, such as her refusal to engage in the peace
negotiations and the rejection Of NJ. Thiers's
diplomatic advances, that she does not intend
to permit complications to arise between her
and her neighbor Bismarck had only Russia to
fear on beginning the struggle with France;
evidently he has nothing to fear from her
interference now that it is about concluded.

The ways of the Heather Chinee are said to
be peculiar, and this assurance is repeated by
telegraph all the way from Bombay, in story
which declares that day has been fixed by
the Chinese for the massacre of all foreigners.
The only evidence of this murderous design
which is vouchsafed us is embraced III the
statement that "they are marching and dis
"tributing their troops" We prefer to believe
that this movement of troops indicates the
purpose of the Chinese Government to protect
rather than destroy the foreigners. We have
lately heard declarations that the Government
in concentrating troops in this city designs to
provoke riot on election day; but no one of
sense believes its purpose other than to prevent
fraud and maintain peace. The wicked story
from Bombay and the absurd and infamma-
tory declarations of Tammany doubtless pos
sess an equal basis of trdth.

We do not blame the Female Refomers for getting

The squabble about comparative population be-
tween several Western cites-St Louis and Chicago
Leavenworth and Kansas City, fer instances
simply foolish for any town. whether the number
of is inhabitants be accurately reported or not. will
not have one man. woman, child the less or more
within its borders for all the error. The most feTo
cious dispute just at present Is between the two
cities last above named. Leayenworth complains
that Kansas City, with en actual population Of
II 5O is returned at $4,000. II is said that the U
Deputy Marshal registered everybody he could hnc
iuthe hotels and dining rooms and IN THIS way ap
propriated good many Of the inhabitants OF LeaVen
worth who were temporarily sojourning WITHIN hn
precinct. "The honest fellow" says The LtGre'-
,ror,h Bulletin. between each two names left
blank Of four TO six lines Curious TO know the next
stem in the programme, our friend watched and saw
him give each name wife and small family. Out Of

very much like to know how much truth, if any
tbere is in these charges. The census is taken. by
national authority not 10 ascertain merely the p0pu

population of the nation. One would think, TO read
the newspapers of that ilk that tho sole business Of
the Deputy Marshals to establish the superior
honor and glory of their respective districts. Their
could MT be a greater mistake to begin with.

Watches manufactured in the United States bear

definite value protected by statute laws, the in.
fringement of which is severely punished. Imported
watches, however, may still be brought in with
these trade marks, the law which severely punishs'
the native forger being poweress against the foreign
offender. Our people are thus largely swindled BY
cunning inferior limitations of American watches by
foreign manufacturers. The watch importers are
now boasting that. if it costs S2Oo0oO they will pre-
vent the passage of bill at the next session Of Con-
gress for the passage Of which at the last we ear

In comparing the astonishing vote in th'
10th District of the With Ward with the Cen
sus returns for the same District, in his chal-
lenge to Mayor Hall, Marshal Sharpe did not
make the best comparison possible. He chose
for the purpose of comparison the vote in the
State election last Fall, which showed not
quite so many voters as there were inhabitants
in the District. The vote last Spring, how
ever shows precisely sixty-four more voters IN
tho District than the Census shows inhabitants,
the population being $40, the total vote last
Spring 934 and the Democratic vote alone ee4.
