The vIcKsBURa FEUD. Throughout the
South the legitimate results of that recon-
struction which had for its object the con-
tinuance Of party in power rather than the
best interest of the section are manifesting
themselves daily, and the two races are gradu-
ally crystallizing in an attitude Of hostility
toward each other which promises the most
disastrous consequences In vicksburg, where
the feeling at one time seemed likely
to eliminate in bloodshed at an
early day, the catastrophe has been,
for the present. happily avoided by
the firmness and forbearance of the white citi-
zens, added to the sober second thought of
the colored people, and the city, as stated by
our correspondent, was never more peaceful
The former are preparing for an energetic
campaign in the forthcoming municipal elec-
ton, by which they hope to relieve themselves
from the rule of the ignorant blacks and cor
rupt carpet-baggers, who have rolled up q debt
equal to one-fifth of the taxable real and per-
sonal property of the city. Governor Ames
reiterates his call for federal troops, which the
Executive, with discretion it might well
have exercised in previous cases. declines to

Trouble I'm tho Park

Of all the departments under the municipal
regime in which the public of New York take
special interest the Department of Public
Parks stands first The labors of the gentle
men In charge of this all important branch of
the city government for some years past have
been encouraged in every way as long as
their efforts were directed toward the improve
ment of what has been so aptly named 'the
lungs of the metropolis. But trouble has
arisen even here. One of the Commissioners
Mr.. Stewart, records his veto against the pay
ment of sundry bills in the Department of
Parks. He is of opinion that the present city
charter prohibits the payment of any salaries
to his brother Commissio ners, the President
alone excepted, and he decidedly puts his face
against granting any further emolument to
Superintendent Ryan beyond that which he
enjoys from the rental of restaurants within
the confines of Central Park The obdurate
Stewart alleges that an employee of the city
government engaged in business of this kind
is acting in direct violation of the terms of
the charter 1t is quite an exciting question
of debate III city matters and may reach be-
yond the ken of the Park Commissioners.

RENOVATED HoMBURo. publish in an
other column an interesting letter on the
present state of Homburg. 1t was expected
that the abolition of the gaming tables would
ruin the town; but, strangely enough, the dis
appearance of the elegant blacklegs who
thronged nightly around its gaming tables has
been followed by an influx OF respectable visit
ors who more than make up for the disap-
pearance of gambling noblemen and the very
questionable society by which they were sur
rounded. There is q healthy lesson in these
f.cts which ought not to be lost on ourselves.
Persons friendly to gamblers and backleps
have urged that the suppression of games of
chance has had the effect of driving Western
merchants away from our marts. II this be
true the loss is more apparent than real.
Western merchants who come to the city to
gamble must be dangerous class of custom
ers, and New York need not weep over them.

THE RELATIONS OF THE SPANISH AND FRENCH
REPUBLICS are becoming exceedingly compli-
Gated, and likely, if we can judge by our
cable news reports to become still more so.
The Spaniards allege a formidable bill OF
indictment against the French charging
the Versailles government with constant
and glaring violations of neutrality in
favor OF the Carlists. In the meantime it is
anticipated in Madrid that the advent of the
German squadron to the coast will cause the
Spanish navy to pronounce in favor of the
Carlists. A Paris journal alleges that new
Carlst loan has been successfully placed and q
portion of the proceeds forwarded to Spain.

America. The beautiful and apt use which

Our Financial Figures-Let Us Have

Our FINANCIAL FtEures-Let Us Have
Light.
The questions put to Comptroller Green by
Assistant Alderman Thomell are carefully
prepared and should be explicitly answered.
1t is notorious that the statements laid before
the people by the Finance Department are de.
signed to conceal our true financial condition.
We do not know to-day how much the city owes,
what amount of matured debt has been re-
Office, how much new debt has been created
what is the amount of claims against the city
or what is the exact condition of the Sinking
Fund. Mr.. Thornelrs inquiries cover these
points and others of like Importance, and the
immediate attention of the Comptroller to the
demand for information should be insisted
upon. If the accounts of the Finance De-
partment are properly kept there can be
no difficulty in making a prompt reply
With the liberal appropriations made for
clerk hire in that department, largely in ex-
cess of the expenditures of any former ad-
ministration, the Comptroller should be able
to furnish the figures as readily as bank
president could supply balance sheet of his
business for the last year.
There are reasons why these questions
should be put at this time and answered in q
truthful manner. Mayor Havemeyer has ex-
pressed himself on more than one occasion
recently as dissatisfied with the manner of
conducting the financial business of the city
and as disposed to ''let the people know the
truth. The truth about what? Is the
ally concealed from the people? There
is enough to justify such o suspicion.
The Comptroller, in his debt statement up to
the last day Of December struck out $665, 900
from the debt, which was not paid until
January and February, and thus made an ap-
parent decrease Of double that amount, de-
Quoting it from the total as s'warrants paid"
and still leaving it in the Treasury to be de-
Quoted again as money on hand. In the same
statement he represented the outstanding re-
venue bonds to be eight or nine million dol
lars less than their actual amount It has
been found impossible to obtain from the
Finance Department any information as to
the amount of outstanding claims against the
city, or as to the amount of judgments and
law expenses A report, said to have been
prepared by the Commissioners of Accounts,
on outstanding claims has been suppressed.
All that we do know is that the Corporation
Counsel reported some time since that suits
were then pending against the city and
county to the amount of about seven million
dollars. The only report ever made by the
Commissioners Of Accounts on the condition
of the Sinking Fund showed singular dis
crepancy between the amount Of securities
called for by the books and those actually
found in the tin box in which the securities
were kept, and, while that report was literally
abused and denounced, it was never satisfac-
torily explained. Under these circumstances
Mr. Thornell's questions must be regarded as
timely. Will the Comptroller answer them at
once?

Indian mind on civilized pursuits. While the
Indians are allotted reservations just beyond
the borders of civilization, and are left to fol-
low such pursuits as they may please and to
herd together, raids and outbreaks with their
attendant horrors must be of constant
occurrence. The most important step
in new and wiser policy would seem to
be to separate the tribes as far as practicable,
to put them on reservations in the rear of the
advanced march of civilization, and to find
employment for the young and active men,
The latter might be accomplished by the for
nation OF large Indian branch of the United
States Army, ofiicered by white men, and in
the training and employment of young Indians
on the public works. Many other sugges-
tons offer themselves in the same direction;
but these crude outlines of plan may be
worthy OF consideration-the transfer of the
business of the Indian agencies to the
United States Army; the strengthening of our
forces on the borders, with orders to make
such warfare as may be forced upon us short,
sharp and unsparing, in the cause of true
mercy; the settlement of friendly tribes with
in the bounds of civilization; employment
OF young and active Indians in the army, on
public works and in other directions. These
are reforms in our Indian policy that seem to
deserve the attention of any statesman who is
ambitious of winning fame and deserving the
gratitude of his countrymen.
