what this Herzegovinian trouble is all
about-we quote as follows from this
instructive letter:
The crushing nature Of the taxes has
been a prime mover in the frenzy which
has led to the instruction. and whatever
be the end of the revolt in Bosnia and
the Herzegovina it is pretty certain that
| while the taxes may not be diminished
they will not be collected three or four
times over, as is now the case. The
more carefully one looks into the causes
of the troubles in Bosnia. in particular.
the more certain it seems that the war
now begun is not, in the sense Of first
thought, religious one. but that it
is the revolt agniust the oppression which
has been exercised at no very remote
periods upon peasants in all European
countries. 1.-THE Bosnian said to me
a highly intelligent Frenchman who has
been twelve years on the frontiers OF
Atasonia, 1.-The Bosnian is now just in
the position that the French peasant was
before the great revolution that the
Hungarian peasant was in previous to
1S4s that the Russian serf was in but
a few years ago. You will hardly believe
me-" he continued, when ! tell you
that during my last visit to Bosnia when
ever passed a village or hut that the
peasants threw themselves on their knees
in the mud. There was never q case
where they did not at least come to their
doors and stand with bowed heads until
and my companions had passed. The
race is thoroughly broken down, and one
is inclined to despise it for allowing the |
Turks to triumph over it in such a
manner. The depression is beginning |
to show itself in the industries Of the |
country. People are SO discouraged that
they will not work. They do not attempt
even to raise their own food. l have
positively been two days without any
thing to eat in the interior of Bosnia.
At the novels and villages along the
route the inhabitants had barely enough
for themselves. They were once ac-
customed to raise what they needed, and
TO conceal the fact that they had it from
the tax collector. But his greed was too
sharp for their expedients. and he spied
put their stores. Then they gave it up
IN disgust. The people live widely sep
.rated, and there has never heretofore
been any difficulty about enforcing every
demand, no matter how unreasonable.
against them. WheE the Turk can think
IF no other way to bring the Bosnian to
his way of thinking he whips his feet,
him and then locks him up.

The ELKoNIANs are a monstrous funny
people. As witness the following personal
notice in the Independent of Saturday:
Al. Parker snapped off his big mule
team to-day for pair of horses and a
buggy. After donning his store clothes
and getting his hair curled, We couldn't
help noticing how much taller he had
grown, as with strange lady by his
side. his flyers tore around the corners
and kicked up the dust. A judicious
commingline OF modesty and gallantry
prompts US to restrain criticism as re-
CARDS the lady-even though she was
sunburnt and negligent about her toilet,
and confine attention to her gorgeous
shawl and stunning parasol. We thought
we detected in her countenance a RESENT
blance to the Dorsey family, but the ac-
alkali on the bridge of her
nose perfectly disguised those loved liz

The Chamber OF Commerce.

This respectable body held its annual cleo
ton of officers yesterday afternoon and gave
its customary annual dinner yesterday even
ing. Both the election and the dinner will be
found reported in our news columns Tho
election was more exciting than ordinary, but
the warmth of feeling will Immediately sub
side and is of no interest outside the organiza-
ton. Mr.. William E. Dodge, the retiring
President, made brief, pertinent speech, in
which he expressed the consistent devotion Of
the Chamber of Commerce to sound princi
pies of currency and its sense of the i'm.
portance of cheaper terminal facilities, rapid
transit in the city and canal reform in the
State The election resulted in o decisive
triumph of the opposition ticket, headed by
Mr.. Samuel D. Babcock for President
The dinner was marked by tie usual
festive good fellowship. The after dinner
speeches evinced no particular originality,
but that of Mr.. Fernando Wood was timely
in its topics and touched upon all the chief
matters of immediate interest to the city, in
Guiding, among others, the necessity for reor-
ganizing the city government in such man.
ner as to concentrate power and responsibility
in the Mayor. Mr.. Schultz made strong
free trade speech Mr.. Bryant spoke for the
press, and Mr.. Woodford, in speaking of the
development of the resources of the State,
referred to De Witt ClInton-a great man
who belonged to a past order of things.
Science has effected revolution in the
methods of internal transportation, of which
Clinton had no foresight or conception. Ii
the Erie Canal did not exist to-day il
would never be constructed. The lateral or
branch canals, of which it is the parent,
were completed just OF the opening
of the railroad era, and they are
now condemned as worthless encumbrances,
to be got rid of as speedily as possible. Tha
State would be thirty million dollars richer
to-day if spade had never been struck into
the earth for this excavation. The fame OF
De Witt Clinton is destined to dwindle, be-
cause his conceptions, magnificent as they
were, contemplated water ways as the chief
channels of internal commerce. The Erie
Canal is, nevertheless, one of the few works
of the kind which is SO happily located as to
stand its ground successfully against railway
competition. Few of the letters received by
the Chamber of Commerce declining invita-
tions to this dinner contain much that is note
worthy, Mr.. Stewards strong argument for
cheap transportation being an exception.
They are mere courteous expressions of re-
gret, and not even that of Governor Tilden
expresses any striking ideas. The proceed

The fact that the Belgian government has
been enabled 70 retire from the controversy
with Prince Bismarck without sacrificing its
Independence is gratifying. In the European
contests of the last fifty years the smaller ma
tons Of the Continent have had abundant
cause for congratulation in the fact that they
have escaped the desolations Of war. Their
weakness has been in truth their strength.
Belgium, Holland, Sweden and Norway and
Switzerland have oil been allowed to grow and
prosper, to advance in the arts and sciences
without fear Of being suddenly thrown into
an armed strife with the great nations Their
kings have not been dethroned by the ambi-
ton Of Napoleon or Frederick or Charles

HAYTL-The calm which succeeds the
storm has settled on the capital Of Hayti.
That human volcano is at rest once moro.
Unfortunately it has left sad traces of
its short but destructive outburst OF
fury. The foreign residents who escaped
the fury Of the mob found refuge at the con-
sulates, and it is to be hoped they are now
out of danger. The government seems to
have acted with commendable promptness to
suppress the outbreak in the beginning. 1t is
worthy of note that only two Of the native
generals were killed.

A very ambitious effort will be made next
the great assemblages Of representatives OF
musical art that have long ago become so
popular in Europe. The wonderful progress
in music eyinced in England during the past
dozen years may be, to q considerable degree,
attributed to the annual festivals held in the
principal cities. Leeds, Worcester, Liver
pool and other English cities have taken q
lively interest in musical matters, and the
influence exercised by their festivals has
already borne good fruit In France and
Germany the result Of those annual musical
conventions has been equally beneficial to tho
cause Of art The long standing reproach under
which this country has 50 long labored, of in
difference to art, will be quickly removed by
the encouragement Of such festivals as the
one about to DO inaugurated by Theodore
Thomas in the West. Isolated efforts in this
art are apt 70 prove discouraging, as they are.
in the hurly-burly Of American business life,
soon forgotten. But grand festival which,
for week or 50, interests the public of the
city in which it is given and indirectly other
communities cannot fail to develop a taste
and liking for musical art. We cannot have
too many Of those festivals, and they deserve,
when given on the broad scale proposed by
the people q Cincinnati, 70 receive the en-
couragement and Endorsement Of all lovers Of
art. Such festival is regarded in Europe as
an important event.

Governor Tildsn and Dclaneld smith
Governor Tilden should either remove
Delafeld Smith from the Office of Corporation
Counsel of New York, or he should release
Mr.. Smith from the imputation put upon him
by Mayor Wickham. 1t is now nearly four
months since Mayor Wickham made pubic
the document and removed Mr.. Smith for In
competency in his Office and for being practi-
cally in collision with members of the old
Ring. In the meantime Mr.. Smith has con-
ferred an important law appointment upon
gentleman who was, we believe, either part
ner of Governor Tilden or an employe IN his
law Office. Now this does not look well. II
such a thing had been done by President
Grant or by any member of the federal adj
ministration- such thing, for instance, as
allowing federal officer under suspension to
confer patronage upon the business associates
Of the President-it would properly have been
regarded as a scandal anda mockery OF justice
We have not taken part in the discussion as
to whether Mr. Smith has or has not been
good officer The position into which this
matter has fallen, especially by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Mccain, is unfortunate. 1t
leaves the Governor, Mr.. Smith and Mayor
Wickham in an absurd, if not worse posi-
ton.

The International Rine Match.

The team selected to represent America IN
the coming contest with the Irish rifemen,
though it leaves little to be desired in the
way of proficiency in the use of their arms or
in reliability, is scarcely 80 representative in
character as could be wished. 1t is, perhaps,
unfortunate that 80 little new blood has been
infused into its composition. As the team is
now practically selected we see that the men
who won last year at Creedmoor will be called
American rifemen in the coming contest.
Hopes were entertained that the appeal made
to the rifemen Of America would have brought
forth new men. The great West was
expected to furnish strong ele-
ment in the new team. but these
expectations have proved groundless. 1t is
difficult to understand why no response was
made from those States where the rifle is daily
in the hands of the inhabitants. Much re-
lance was placed on the aid to be derived
from the Western and Southern States in
making up team that would have truly rep
resented American skill with the national
weapon. This representative character is
wanting IN the team SeleClcu, lOI the large Iuh-
jority of its members are drawn from this and
the neighboring States, certainly the least
promising localities to look for the repre-
sentative American rifeman. In anticipation
Of such augmentation of strength as the
American public looked for every effort
is being made in Ireland to gather a
team Of unususl skill. For that purpose
competitive contests are proceeding at Lon
don, Belfast and Dublin, so that the best pos
sible material may be obtained for the new
Irish team. 1t does not seem that the Irish
have fallen into the error committed by the
Joint Committee OF the National Association
and Amateur Club Of allowing members of the
old team to stand upon last years score. Who
ever wants a place must win it and had the
same policy prevailed with Us there might
have been more interest exhibited in the COM
petition for places. It is only justice, how
ever, to the gentlemen composing the team to
say that it would be difficult to obtain steadier
or more skilful marksmen anywhere. What
ever the result of the coming trial of skill
may be there can be no doubt that the skill of
American rifomen will be amply indicated.
