THE TRIBUNE IN BROOKLYN

A branch Office of THE TRIBUNE was opened
yesterday in Brooklyn at No. 1923 Washing
tOn-st., near the City Hall, and adjoining the
POst-Ofice, where advertisements will be re-
ceived and newsmen may obtain papers, with
out extra charge, at any hour after their
morning supply has been exhausted. The
large increase in our Brooklyn circulation
and business requires that this accommO-
dation be provided. 1t will also be the
headquarters of large staff of news re-
porters, who will continue to furnish fuller
reports of Brooklyn affairs than any other
New-York paper publishes.
For two years past THE TRIBUNE has la
bored with the non-partisan people of Brook
lyn to reform the corrupt Government existing
there. Whenever it has seen an OppOrtu-
nifty to defeat an obnoxious measure of the
Ring it has not failed to oppose and de-
nounce it in unequiyocal language. In Au-
gust and September of 1871 it made exposures
of corruption which largely influenced the local
election of that Fall. 1t began months ago sys-
tematic opposition to the Bridge Directory and
the Bridge bill, which resulted in changing
one and defeating the other. 1t fought I'M
happily without avail, the corrupted Charter
of the Committee of One Hundred, which has
already been proved snare to Reform set
by the Ring. Nearly two months ago it was
the only journal to expose promptly the defal-
cations of Mills and ROdman, and to denounce
the treachery by which McCue concealed the
frauds of the Ring in that bank and the City
Treasury. To that exposure primarily is due
the popular uprising which now threatens to
revolutionize the municipal government there.
THE TRIBUNE recognizes the greater struggle
and the higher duty before it. and its friends
will observe that it is now only putting on
anew armor for the old battle for Reform which
it began two years ago.

Mr.. Treasurer having tried the persuasive,
resorts at last to the dissuasive, and an
nounces the intention of the Government.
Hereafter these girl murders will be punished
"with one degree of additional severity We
are not well acquainted with Chinese Criminal
Law, so that we do not know what is the adj
ditional degree of severity threatened If "any
"people with conscious wickedness neglect to
turn over new leaf.n But something
dreadful. doubtless. will happen to them
perhaps the doom of being whitfield to death,
or the even worse death of enforced sleepless-
ness. And so ends the Hupei Proclamation
against Infanticide. 1t is not, we are sorry
to say, considering its subject matter, what
may be called a heightened state-paper
There is in it hardly any trace OF an appeal
to conscience or the most nobly natural motives
and intentions. Designed to save children,
there is an odd sort of childishness about it,
as if Chinese parents were themselves only ba-
bies of larger growth. Where in all this
world is there another semi-civilized govern
ment which would try the experiment of dis
suading fathers and mothers from killing their
female infants, by telling the muderers that
the more girls they kill the more girls will be
born to them' If threats of this description
are effective in China, what an almost hope
lessly debased people the Chinese must be!
What an aggregate of anOmalies-of stupidity
and cleverness, of superstition and sharpness,
of enormous vices and the pettiest moralities!

TRUTH IND FALSRHOOD ABOUT THE


very stupid untruth has been published
in many of the city papers to the effect that
the City and County debt has increased over
twenty three million dollars since the list of
April, being at the rate of forty-eight million
dollars year. Those who make this charge
either deliberately misrepresent, or they are
ignorant that the city raises about twenty
seven million dollars year by taxation, and
that the taxes are paid in after September and
before April. In the interval between April
and October the receipts from taxes are almost
nothing, and the debt consequently appears
to grow with frightful rapidity. THE TRIBUNE
has already several times published the fact
that the debt is steadily growing at the rate
of ten or twelve million dollars year. 1t
ought not to increase another dollar, but there
is still great difference between a growth of
twelve millions and one of forty EIGHT millions.
In all our structures upon the financial short
comings of the State, National, and Municipal
Governments we have had but the single mo-
tive of making known the truth, and in this
course we intend to persevere no matter who
suffers OF who benefits. If the people will not
see that their interests are sacrificed, We must
be content to wait until they feel it.
We observe that Controller Green, in his
letter published yesterday morning on the
consolidation scheme, attempts to throw upon
the Legislature the responsibility of protract-
ing the existence of the deadly system of
saddling the city with immense permanent
debts for all conceivable purposes. The
responsibility rests not on the Legislature but
on the Controller himself. VIII he deny
that the Board of Apportionment in
December last fixed the total appropriations
at about thiriy-eight million dollars !;
that a BILL having his sanction and proceed
ing from his office, was introduced ut Albany

Our dispatches from Worcester give graphic
picture of the mighty gathering in which the
Massachusetts, contest has eliminated. Despite
the wild arithmetic with which the Butler men
keep up their spirits, it is clear that their
champion has lost the fight And now
the vast crowds, drawn together at
the Republican Convention, are discussing
these two questions: How will Butler take
his defeat7 and How will the anti-Butler men
use their victoryY The indications are that
Butler will "behave himself if he does not
get too mad. But the other side is likely to
worry him roughly. He will want all his
GOODNESS when, as delegate, he is
obliged to face the storm which is pre-
pairing for him. 1t is said that the Massachu-
sets Republicans, sick of these repeated raids
of Gen. Butler, are determined now to crush
him out effectually. That is so much easier
said than done that most men will look on
curiously to see how the Convention Will do
it. Perhaps that wise Providence which has
ordered this violent shaking of Massachusetts,
politics will, with this last disturbance, permit
its permanent discontinuance.

4 FAREWELL TO THE SINKING FOND.

A FAREWELL TO THE SINKING FOND.
The usual contribution to the National
Sinking Fund will not be made this year.
The United States Treasury now owns, ac-
cording to its own statements, about twelve
millions of coin not subject to be drawn from
it on demand, and about the same amount of
currency. These amounts, under ordinary
circumstances. would be amply sufficient pro-
vided the Secretary would keep out of Wall
Street, and allow the gold and currency of the
country to regulate themselves by natural
laws. OF course we are here supposing that
nothing is to be done to restore specie
payments. But while the Treasury may
be strong enough to carry ON its legit-
mate business we are decidedly of opinion
that from this time until the close of the cur
rent fiscal year it will have no ammunition to
waste. In palmer terms, there will be little,
if any, surplus revenue; little. If any, reduc-
ton of the debt. small decrease, it is
likely, will be figured out for the current
month, but increases must appear frequently
in the months succeeding. In August the
receipts from customs are the heaviest of the
wear, which accounts for the reduction of the
debt of over six million dollars reported o
week ago. In July, it will be- remembered,
the decrease was less than four hundred thou
sand dollars.
We base our opinion that the surplus IN

THE BALLOON VOYAGE.

To-day, if all go well, Prof. Wise and MI.
Donaldson Will sail upon one of the most
adventurous voyages ever undertaken by men.
The enterprise by which they have made
their names known all over the country has
been little discredited by certain vulgar
tricks of advertising to which we need not
refer in detail, but for these the daring
aeronauts are not responsible. Such trifiing
circumstances will not detract from the hOnors
due to the vOyagers, or the credit that
belongs to the proprietors of The Daily
Graphic for their enterprise in furnish
ing the sinews of the expedition. Mr..
Wise has been thirty years or more in pre-
pairing for this venture. 1t has been to him
the dream of long life. His observations in
scores and scores of ascensions have been
directed to the subject Of q trans-oceaniC
voyage, ana he has studied the scientific points
of the problem with care and intelligence. We
have reason to expect from him therefore
something of permanent scientific value, and
not the mere amusement OF an idle curiosity
Donaldson is a gymnast whose courage and
agility may perhaps be found of use in the
course of the trip. Of the other travellers
nothing is known.
1t is useless to deny that the equipment oil
the balloon has fallen far short of the
promises of it's projectors, and that the proba
bilties Of its ever reaching Europe are very
slight indeed. Ii seems to have been built il
an economical way by persons of little prac
teal experience in such matters. It's capacity
is far below the original estimate; it GER
tainly cannot carry the large party Originally
invited to go in it, nor keep afloat even half as
long as the period at first assigned and 1t L
understood to have been decided yesterda!
that it could not safely carry even it
own car. If that Wanted portion o
the structure be left behind, the adventur
ers may take their flight in The
life boat upon which they depend for The
completion Of their voyage. The smaller bal
loon, which was to have been taken as
tender. has been abandoned because the ma
terial of it proved TOO fimsy. 1t is greatly t.
be regretted that Mr.. Wise's experiment SHOULD
be tried under such unfavorable circum
stances but there is still a fair chance tina
he may accomplish something, and reach the
Old World by water, even if he fail to reacf
it through the air. The whole country viii
wish him a prosperous trip, and whether he
succeed or fail will honor his pluck in starting

We are beginning to think that the argument that
the weaker sex is not sufficiently pugnacious to fur
nish the republic with major-generas must be
abandoned Two young ladies of Quincy, ILL.,. were
recently fined for pounding each other with pine
boards. But still more wonderful and decisive
case recently occurred in England. Two ladies in
Melsham, who had formerly kept hotel in Bristol,
having retired on their means, had a neighbor, /" a
retired civil servant who claimed the right of
cess TO a field through that of the ladies. This
was stoutly resisted by them, and find
ing him with load of hay upon their
premises, they went for him not with tender
gances and dissuasiye speeches, but in the regular
ri ct drmis style. One of them hit out from the
shoulder with clenched fist, and smote the poor
man in the face She also raised her foot and
kicked him more than once in the arm. 81
never said the complainant, touchingly, touched
her but told her if / was doing wrong she had a
better remedy" farmer who was driving the
cart Jared no better He too received one straight
from the shoulder on the mouth" and then the
fiercest of the women said to the other: Mary
90 and fetch my big knotted-stick" Then
we are told the poor men retired"
and wisely. For what could they dol Could they
strike back again, when who lays his hand upon
a woman save in kindness is monster whom it
were gross lattery to call good follow However,
the retired civil gentleman brought an action
against the rural Amazon. He tried for Geo dam
ages and he got 40s.--a very inadequate finding.
IL woman can hit out and cannot hit back again.
and if the stoutest of us can be assaulted and bat
tered at the low cost of twenty shiIings what be-
comes of us as Lords of Creationi That's what we
want to know.
