have written his faith on his banners.
But religion to him and his antagonist was
really pretext. There were good Catholics
who followed the flag of William and good
Protestants in the army Of James. Catholi-
clsm was only one of the questions between
them, and not in any sense q vital question
1t became so after James was in exile and
largely because he was dependent upon q
Catholic King Tor hospitality. But the Battle
Of the Boyne was no more q religious contest
than the Battle of Gettysburg was an anti
slavery contest. Religion was 10 some extent
an issue in one as slavery was in the other
The battles were for empire on the part of
William, and for union on the part of Lin
coin.
Why, then, should Irishmen, in this far
land and at this. late day, celebrate the Battle
OF the Boyne Why should tradition dark
and bloody, become year after year flaming
brand in free, bipartisan America What do
Americans care about the Battle of the Boyne
Even suppose it to have been purely re-
ligious fight, should we, as Protestants, care
to cherish it ? This is country of religious
freedom, absolute, unquestioning, where Pope
and presbyter have spiritual respect and
power. Why should we brood over these sad
memories Of the time of the Prince of Orange
When Irishmen come to America to leave
its citizenship heritage for their children
why should they cherish such q tor
bidding memory as that of the Boyne?
Of course no one questions their right or that
of any citizen to celebrate any anniversary.
We are only dwelling upon the taste OF these
displays. Americans, whether by citizenship
or birth, should always be Americans. Aliens
should bring with them only pleasant thoughts
CT home. There are many festivals in all
countries, sweet, domestic, religious, which
we are glad enough to welcome. 1t is these
war legacies that we despise-these anniver-
saries of hatred which are rarely celebrated
without bloodshed. Why should the Germans
celebrate Sedan, or the Frenchmen Jena
Why should Englishmen honor Waterloo, or
Protestant Irishmen the Battle of the Boyne
Why should there be any celebrations of
events that have no connection with America,
and that in their intent and meaning are an
insult to worthy fellow citizens of different
creeds and nationalities? Let our anniversa-
ries be those of peace and of amity, celebrating
great achievements in science and art. Let
the dead and bloody past bury its dead. Let
our anniversaries be American in their spirit,
and their coming and going will not be SO
dismal as this foolish memory of the Battle of
the Boyne.

protection against famine. In seasons
of great scarcity the prices of grain
become too high for profitable dis
tillation, and at the same time the con-
sumption of spirits necessarily falls off, be-
cause when mans whole meaLs are needed
to purchase food for his family he has no
money to spend for liquors. The additional
crop raised to supply the market for distilla-
ton insures sufficient supply of food for the
human race in the worst Of seasons. and inter-
national commerce has created and keeps in
constant existence the means for its prompt
distribution. While deploring the great
calamity which has befallen unhappy France
it is allowable to rejoice that we can feed her
out of our abundance and to appreciate
the relief which heavy grain trade will
bring to the depressed business of our own
country.
The vigorous preparations which will soon
be made for moving the new grain crop of the
West will inspire our long despondent bust
ness men with fresh confidence, and we may
reasonably expect brisk and active autumn
under benefcent Providence which 'sfrom
seeming evil still educes good.

Lafayette and France.

The statue of Lafayette which has been pre-
sented to the Central Park by the French gov
ernment is graceful and timely courtesy 1t
will be most welcome. Any memory of La
fayette must always be grateful to The Amer
ican people. He represents the ancient alli-
ance between France and America the de-
votion of the young nobleman to the cause of
liberty; the important, and we may almost
say vital, aid given. to our young confedera-
ton by France. At this time also, the gift
has another meaning. France suffers from a
terrible catastrophe. Some of her most fer
tile valleys have been desolated. The foods
have inflicted losses on her people amounting
to millions of dollars. Lives have been lost
in great numbers One of the most important
sections of Franco section upon which the
government must depend for good share of
revenue-has become beggared Consequently,
not only are the people in distress, but the
government with its extraordinary obliga-
tions and its diminished revenues, is limited
in its power to aid them. Other nations have
hastened to send France material help. Amer
lea should do her part in the good work. We
should think of Lafayette, of what he and his
King did for our fathers and for ourselves,
and celebrate the coming of his statue by
sending to the sufferers in France munif-
cent contribution.

The Churches During tho summer.

A closed church resembles spiked cannon.
1t occupies its place upon the Notifications of
Zion, but for the lime it is useless and frowns
unavailingly upon the enemy encamped in
the fields. Fortunately for the piety of the
city, however, our fashionable churches are
only closed in that season when they are least
needed. Thousands of our best and most re-
spectacle sinners annually leave town for
Long Branch, Saratoga, Niagara, Cape May
and other watering places, and the clergymen
follow them, not simply for recreation, as
some people foolishly suppose, but in order to
watch over them in places where they are
particularly exposed to temptation. The
summer exodus Of the clergy may be, there
fore, compared to the sally which garrison
makes from the citadel. Or they may be said
to resemble a shepherd who, when he finds
his sheep have run away from the reach of his
crook, does not idly sit down and bemoan his
loss, but pursues the flock, resolved to
bring them back into the fold or share
their wanderings and dangers. Nor is
it to be forgotten that in the summer time
there is less danger to religion than in win
ter. The theatres are generally shut in sum-
mer. So when the opera boufe is away it is
safe to close the Church of st. Bartholomew,
and when there is no circus at the Hippo
drome there need be no preaching at the Tenn
pie. Our theatrical managers and clergymen
seem TO pair of, as members of opposing par
ties do in the United States Senate, and thus
maintain the statu quo ante belIum with honor
able fidelity. The churches, however. have
the advantage just now of the theatres, for of
those that are open the former far outnumber
the latter. We publish to-day sermons by the
Rev. Stuart Dodge, the Rev. Dr. Steel, Rev.
Mr.. Forester, Rev. Robert Scott, Rev. ].
Spencer Kennard, Rev. Mr.. Lloyd, Rev. DIR.
Cyrus Dickson and others, which emphati-
cally prove that the clergy have made ample
preparation for protecting the metropolis
during the hot season.

The sad, Old story.

We note that the Roman Catholic clergy
men in Lawrence, Mass, have issued card
deploring the riots which took place ON Mon
day. the 18th of July. 1t seems tnat there
have been disturbances in Canada arising
out of the Orange celebration, some of them
of very serious character. In New York we
got along very well, the terrible lesson of
four years ago still bearing its fruits. The
Orangemen who went out to picnic in honor
of the day were guarded by policemen as
though they were convicts intended for Black
wells Island Still there was no difficulty be-
yond blow or two. This anniversary, cele-
brated with so much anger, and at times
bloodshed, commentaries the Battle of the
Boyne This battle was fought nearly two
centuries ago, between William Of Orange, q
Dutch prince, who was seeking throne, and
james H., an English prince, who was flying
from one. The issue was one of power and
personal ambition. William I'LL wanted q
higher place, and to fight France, the hered-
itary enemy of his House. lie joined the
wings in England and seized the GRO en OF his
father-in-law. Like Frederick the Great, who
was an atheist he cared nothing for religion.
But he knew tho value of cry, and
wrote on his banner that no was 'the
defender Of the Protestant religion.

TIE WIMBLEDON MATCHES. Major Fulton
has been tied in the shooting for the st.
Leger Sweepstakes by Mr.. ]. Rigby, of the
Irish team of 1874. Last year, in the
match for the Bennett Cup at Creedmoor,
these fine shots were very nearly tied, Mr..
Rigby making 159 to Major Fulton's 158,
and, now that they are actually tied upon the
highest possible score at the two hundred
yards range, this reminiscence will add to
the interest of the contest. It is possible
that, at the request of the English, Irish and
Scotch teams, the Americans will be permitted
to shoot for the Elcho shield. Should they be
victors they viii not be able to bring the
shield home, as the terms Of the competition
require that it shall not be taken from the
United Kingdom.

GOLD AND Com. N.-To-day we give some
special information which will prove cor
rective to the recent rumors in Wall street
that the published accounts from the Treasury
Department were incorrect. The so-called
"coin balance" OF the Treasury is given in our
Washington letter as s6S, 5000 OF this
s24, 100000 is in coin certificates, $4,000, 900
in silver bars, s14,000,0OO in silver coin and
$4,000, 600 in gold coin. OF this $24, 500, 600
there is due on call for bonds already made
50 1000, 900; for interest due the 1st of July
and unpaid interest previously DUE
S10,OOO,000. There are in hand and dispos-
able therefore only $4,000, 900 Of gold coin,
which may legitimately be regarded as fur
ther reduced by the sale of 50, 200, 900 to be
made this month. II is the large accumua-
ton of silver returned as coin which has led
to the misapprchension in regard to the
Treasury statements; for it was known that
the figures published by the Secretary gave a
statement OF ''coin" in excess of the gold in
hand, it being assumed that coin meant gold,
and that therefore the rep0ss we're inaccu-
rate.

The NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONVENTION,
which closed its annual session at Sea Cliff
yesterday, no doubt did great deal of good.
The evils of intoxication are so many and so
painful that all agencies which are arrayed
against them deserve the sympathy of all who
seek the welfare Of the community. But the
temperance crusaders frequently injure their
cause by their extravaganza. Drunkenness is
bad, but what aid does a speaker give to
sobriety by frightening mothers with such
language as this, 'Oh, how many have gone
down AS you press your child to your
heart you don't know but you are nursing
murderer" OF course, the mother don't
know, and we cannot see the relevancy OF
such remark unless the lecturer means that
if the child is to be brought up by hand, like
Pip, there should be no milk punch in the
bottle Nor do we think much good is
achieved by telling such stories as that OF
ga Mrs. Laverty, in Cincinnati, by whose
labors whole family were saved from intem-
perance and brought to Christ within an hour
and half" There is temperance in speech
as well as in drinking, and we are compelled
to think that these worthy champions of
good cause would sometimes do well to re-
member it.

The Indian Question.

We do not see how the President can deal
with the Indian question, as presented with
SO much eloquence and detail by our CORE
spondence from the Sioux country, without
removing Mr. Delano. the Secretary Of the
Interior, and Mr. Smith, the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs The facts cannot be dis
proved. They are incapable of explanation.
They are confirmed by the evidence of Pro-
fessor Marsha who has been in conference
with the President on the subject What
makes it incumbent upon the President to
act with frmness and promptitude is the fact
that bis own brother is storekeeper in the
Indian country, that he is sustained in his
monopoly by the government and that the
President cannot protect him without bring
ing upon his administration the darkest
odium. n4segF te1i hm, <
From one point of view 1t may be argued
with fairness that the Presidents brother is o
free citizen, and if he chooses to sell goods to
the Indians he has right to do so. But the
country will draw an inference most disas-
trous to the President if it finds his brother
largely profting out of frauds as base and
persistent as those perpetrated upon the
Indians. Orville Grant is allowed to open O
store in the Sioux country and to join the
Indian Ring solely because he is the brother
of Ulysses S. Grant, the President of the
United States. If the President fails to take
summary action upon the facts as presented
it will be said that he prefers 4e interests Of
his brother to those of the people. r
The President has done so well in hiA
recent Cabinet changes, and has given his
administration so much strength by them,
that he should not fail now. He gave us
Brstow for Richardson, Pierrepont for Will
Jams and Jewell for Creswell. The country in
every instance approved the change. Now
let him give us some strong sound, hones
man in the Interior Departmental man Of
sense, integrity and courage-whose going
into the Office would mean reform and JUS
tce. If the President can find such
man, even though it is necessary
to dive as deeply below the surface Of
apparent availability as when he selected somS
of his present advisers, let him do SO. A
strong appointment in the Interior Depart
ment-such man as the late Mr.. Stanton,
for instance--would immensely strengthen the
administration. The removal of Delano would
give us the most popular Cabinet we have had
since the time of Pierce. Fish, Bristow, jew
ell and Pierrepont are unexcepionable. Now
and then we have growl about Robson and
Belknap, but they have in the main done
well. If Delano is not directly involved in the
Indian frauds he has not suppressed them,
and this sin of omission in Cabinet Minister
is as fragrant as any sin of commission.
Let the President remove Delano and
Smith, and then send for Orville Grant and
bring him home and give him some honest
employment. Let it be Fred Dents old
place. if none better Offers to carry in the
cards and talk craftsmanship to the boys
from Newspaper row. But he has no business
in the Indian country, making money out Of
the poor, starving squaws 1t is dishonor
to the President and a stain upon his admin
istration.
