NoN-REsDENTs OsTBAcIzED. The Board Of
Aldermen have passed resolution forbdding
non-residents to hold Office in any branch OF
Iho city government. The edict apart
from its political side, is evidence
that the Board of Aldermen are awake to
the necessity of inducing people engaged in
business in New York to look ON the city as
something more than a counting house, to be
escaped from as soon as business is over.
But the most effective way to do this is to
promote some system of rapid transit by
which persons of moderate means may be
enabled to find homes in westchester. In
this way only can the evil be dealt with.

The Recent Wind and Weather ON
the Atlantic.
The wind and weather on the Atlantic during
the last fortnight have been of the stormiest
type, and have put the best navigation to the
severest test 1t is generally believed that the
Atlantic storm season is at its worst during
the equinoctial period, when the atmospheric
equilibrium is most seriously disturbed, and
that there should be on interregnum of CON-
parative quiet in July and one in January.
This year, however, seems to be exceptional,
so for as the present month is concerned, and
the ocean, like death, claims the sovereignty
of ell seasons.
The recently reported detentions of west
ward-bound steamers Though in part happily
reduced by the arrivals of the last two days)
show through what terrible battle these ships
make their winter way to our shores. Some
of them were over eighteen days out and
seem to have been baffled, not by
single storm, but by succession of
storms pressing upon each others heels
These successive gales appear to have been
connected with the high barometers, or polar
air waves winch nave recently swept across
the northern part OF the United States and
have been launched into the hot and humid
regions of the Cult Stream, off Newfoundland
One of the merchant ships arriving here on
the 18th reported encountering the polar
wave of the Sth, about forty miles southeast
of Sandy Hook, where she was quickly
shrouded in the freezing vapor drift, and the
ice deposited over her deck was twenty feet
high. This however, could occur only near
shore, but the same frozen meteor plunging
into warm water belt in mid-ocean must
produce the most indescribablc agitation of
the elements. When it is remembered that
one of these cold waves sometimes covers one
fourth of the area of this country we may get
some faint idea Of the extent Of the disturb

A Memory of tho Past.

The death of the oldest surviving son of the
any circumstances should not be passed over in
silence. 1t seems like bringing the past into
the present to imagine son of this Revolution
airy statesman living with us. Yet the Alex
ander Hamilton who died on Monday leaves
behind him three brothers still in the vigor
of as much health as can be expected from
extreme old age. The deceased was in the
ninetieth year OF his age when he died. As it
is seventy-one years since Hamilton himself
was killed, his surviving children have all
passed the limit ascribed to human life by the
Psalmist.
tits long period since Hamilton died, espe-
cially in history as brief as ours. We are
now entering upon the Centennial times, when
every day almost is an anniversary OF some of
the great events of the times which tried mems
souls. First among the great men who led
this country from its struggling, disordered
condition as q confederation OF provinces into
the imperial rank of nations was the father Of
the venerable citizen who died on Monday.
He was great man, by many believed to be
the greatest of his day. To him we owe
much of the vigor and promptitude shown
by New York in taking part in the war. He was
the counsellor and friend of Washington. He
was the first Secretary of the Treasury in
Washington's administration and founder
of our national representative system. When
he retired from Office it was because honora-
BILE ambition was denied to one who in all his
temptation had led the life of honorable pov-
erty. When he died by the pistol of a subtle
and audacious opponent he was still young
man. Had he lived there is no knowing to
what higher eminence he might have attained
in the councils of the young Republic.
The name of Hamilton grows loftier as his
figure recedes from u.s. We are reminded
how short a time has passed in the life of
nations since the Revolution by the fact that
we are even now mourning the death of one of
his children, and that we rejoice still in the
presence of three of his sons in honored.old age.
Alexander Hamilton lived quiet, retired life.
He was an efficient, useful, modest citizen.
He did what work fell upon him with dill
gence and propriety, and bore aloft a noble
name. He bore 1t for ninety years stainless
and exalted, never forgetting what was due
to the ancestor. In leaving it behind him he
leaves it as O model for the emulation of
Americans.

There never was better opportunity for
great political leader than exists just now in this
country. The two parties are really more
like two political mobs than like organ
lied bodies. There has not been tor many
years so good an opportunity for q public
man of acknowledged character honesty
and courage, Ito make his influence pre-
dominant and to gain adherents and success
tor wise, positive and honest policy, such as
the country needs. The mass of the people
of both parties feel that matters have gone
greatly amjss, and that not only in the fed
eral, but in the State governments, and not
only in the States, but in the cities and coun-
ties as well. The people have suffered very
seriously from bad laws and reckless and
ignorant administration, and they are per-

fault If the republicans are accused of COR
ruption and maladninistraton in the federal
branch of the government they point to the
democrats, who are equally guilty in cities
ard States where they have had power In
such a case, where neither party has clean
record, there is clearly an opportunity for in
dividual character in statesmen to make itself
felt. But what do we see I? Everywhere our
public men are either silent or hedging
and seeking strange unholy alliances.
Here are the republicans IN Ohio,
Pennsylvania, California and other States,
praising the wisdom and success OF General
Grants administration; and here, on the
other side, is Governor Tilden going about
with John Morrissey, and really making him
the head of the democratic party, while Nc
Creary, democratic candidate for Governor in
Kentucky is allowed to tell his people that
the bonds ought to be paid in greenbacks, and
the banks ought to be abolished.
We acknowledge to great deal of surprise
at Governor Tiden's course lie has always
aimed TO play the part of respectable and
somewhat reserved statesman; and has, to
outward appearances at least, seemed to shun
all contact with the lower elements III our pol
tics But of late he too has fallen.

THE IMPROVED POSTAL SERVICE. Govern
ments, as well as individuals, find q great in
centive in example. We read, for instance,
that the Post Office Department is about to
establish a fast postal train between this city
and Chicago. This can scarcely fail to be a
good movement, but it is worthy of remark
that the idea never occurred to the Post Office
authorities until after the HERALD had illus
trated its feasibility. Our fast trains to Sara
toga and Niagara showed what little energy,
when properly directed, could accomplish.
Every city in the West was delighted by the
receipt of the HERALD twenty-four hours in
advance of the delivery Of other journals
through the mails, and the satisfaction was so
great that even the Post Office Department
has been aroused. There is at last to be a
quick delivery between the East and the West,
and it is not surprising even that the route
chosen is the same as that adopted by the
HERALD. 1t mattered little to us whether the
government increased its facilities. for we
have shown that we could command them for
ourselves but we still rejoice that tne lesson
to be drawn from o successful enterprise has
not been thrown away by the Post Office Off
Gals, and that in consequence Of our fast
train the people of the West are to have
better postal service.

AS yet the little trouble in the border land
Of Turk and Christian scarcely exceeds the
Dimensions of that bit of proverbial cloud that
ultimately fills the whole heavens with the
shadow of war; but yet it appears to be an
obstinate trouble, and that is region in which
obstinate revolts lead very far, for the social
and political relations are of the most delicate
nature on every hand. There is no spot in
Europe where the political status is less
stable, or where so great fire may grow from
so small q flame. 1t is about three weeks
since our dispatches first told of disturbances
which were then represented to be mere af-
trays consequent upon conflicts with the
Turkish tax gatherers; but now our news
tells of the revolt of the people at widely sep
arated points, OF battles with the soldiery in
which the insurgents have captured cannon,
and of call for united action on the part of
Bosnia, Servia and Herzegovina-say two
million and half of people. This, there
fore, is no accidental conflict with tax gath
erers; and what, then, is it? All the coun-
tries between the Balkan and the Danube, the
Black Sea and the Adriatic, are alike in their
double relation to Mohammedanism on one
hand and Christianity on the other. They
ore conquered countries. Anciently Chris
tian, but overrun by the conquering hordes
that swept to the gates Of Vienna in the days
of Ottoman glory, they have been held
ever since in the loose yet semi
savage grasp in which frontier dis
tricts are always held by power like that
which reigns at Constantinople. Nobody
them; they could not free themselves, and
the Turk did not care for them enough to gov
ern them well, and, indeed, only held them to
keep half waste military frontier between
him and his enemy. The people in these
countries are of the Slavic race, and are in
the vast majority Christians of the Eastern
Church; SO they come within the limits of the
half-political, alf-philosophical frenzy of Pan
slavism, and are supposed to live and die with
their eyes turned toward Russia. Here, then,
are Turkey, Austria and Russia all compli-
Gated more or less in relations with Chris
tan people in revolt against an infdel gov
eminent; and this, therefore, is neither more
nor less than that formidable Eastern question
which for centuries has divided the attention
of Europe with Franco-German wars-one
uniformly being up for settlement while the
other was in allegiance. Neither Austria nor
Turkey nor Russia is just now in condition to
meet the case that such difficulty, if encour-
aged, must open, and without the encourage
ment Of one or another of the Christian Pow
ers what can the people do? Only compel
the Mohammedans to put them down, and
this will be done. There is no hope for them,
therefore. They must only go on as before
revolt from time to time, once in fve ten or
twenty years-and one of these days their re-
volt will coincide with favorable juncture in
the general politics of Europe, and they will
see the Turks driven over the Balkan and be
themselves organized into the Austria Hun
garian monarchy, or in revived Bulgarian
empire.

DEMOCRATIC NONSENSE IN KENTUCKY. -
Colonel McCreary, who has just been elected
by the democrats to be Governor of
Kentucky, told his people during the
campaign that among the leading ini-
quities of the day for which the republicans
ought to be voted out of power are:-First,
the promise to pay of the national debt in
gold second, the exemption of federal bonds
from taxation third the establishment of
national banks, and fourth, what he calls
the unequal distribution of currency
That is to say the democratic candidate for
Governor in Kentucky asked for votes
on the ground really that if his party
had power it would pay the national debt in

The Recent storms.

The telegraph has, within the past few
days. brought us intelligence from all parts
of the world of series of severe storms and
rains a parallel to which will be found, at
least in Europe, only after searching back
wards for many decades. The storm that was
so terribly severe in Geneva and its neghbor-
hood seems, according to the best accounts,
to have but begun at that place and to have
subsequently extended northeastward and
northwestward with a severity comparable
only to that of the great hail storm of July IT,
1888. This latter storm, in less than nine
hours, traversed O belt of country twenty
seven miles broad and five hundred miles
long, destroying property to the extent of five
million dollars. A special commission has
been appointed by the French government to
investigate the circumstances attending the
recent storm, and it is to be hoped
that from its report there will result
such additions to our knowledge as will
Increase, even in some degree, the accuracy
of the storm predictions of the meteorologist.
In a general way however, the char
acteristics of the present summer heavy
rains and low temperature seem to
have been foretold some three years
ago by certain meteorologists. who have
deduced connection between the solar spots
and the prevalence of storms, the temperature
of the air, &c.
Such very general predictions, however, as
are warranted by the conclusions of these
savans can have comparatively little practical
value to the man of business, who looks with
more confidence to predictions based on data
gathered nearer home That the atmosphere
of our earth is unit; that the weather of to-
day in Europe and Asia has great deal to do
with the weather of tomorrow and perhaps
of next week in the United States;
that the field of our observations must
be made geographically more extended and
philosophically more minute-these and SIM
liar principles are those that must be brought
to bear if our farmers and sailors are to re-
ceive timely forewarning of such an atmos-
pheric revolution as we have witnessed dur
ing the last week in the sudden change that
we have experienced from midsummers heat
to autumnal rain. 1t is not too much to say
that, had this country received week
ago creditable assurance of the approaching
foods some crops would have been harvested
even in their immature state, in order to save
something from the wreck that would other
wise have befallen them. and that thus, as well
as in other ways, saving to the country could
have been effected of hundreds of thousands
of dollars Thus far the Weather Bureau at
Washington has not attempted to predict such
local storms as are most destructive in the sum-
mer season, nor, indeed, to predict any general
weather changes more. than day in advance.
Would it not, however, now seem time to I'M
dertake this most important work? Can not
some foundation for such predictions be found
in the data furnished by the magnificent bull
letin of international simultaneous meteoro-
logical observations which the Weather Bu-
reau is now able to publish for the further
ance of meteorological studies?
