The August MOnthlies.

Tho publishers of Scribners Montilty call
attention to the series Of articles by Col. Warng
now being published in that magazine, under
the title OF "A Farmers Vacation" These pa
pers are claimed to be among tho most amnsing
as well practically valuable illustrated articles
which have appeared for some time past Col.
Waring il well known as an engineer and
farmer, rs well as a graceful and entertaining
writer. In his recent European travels he was
naturally attracted not only by picturesque pha-
ses,-quaint scenes and quaint people, but al
so by the various agricultural customs and devi-
Cos. His article in the August number des-
cribes the pretty isle of Jersey, and tells great
deal that is of interest about the famous 60
called Alderney Cow which il here ''at home"
"a MILDLY in Manila" is rollicking little illus
trated sketch, which reads very like familiar
letter to some old 'chum'' at home. The other
contents of note story of New Orleans,
MADAME Delicieuse, which has a very foreign
flavor, paper by Albert Rhoades, "Along the
Seine," and some solid articles on "Education
and Free Thought" "a Word of encouragement
for Timid Linguists 'How to Treat the In
dians," the last named by an Indian Agent
--,Sk Nicholas brings us this month series
of excellent contributions, all interesting and
some Of them pleasantly suggestive of noun
tain air and sea. breezes. "The Cruise OF the
Crusoe" for instance Ca prolonged journey such
as almost every boy would like to take on some
one OF these summer days, )hardly needs illustra-
tion, since it is itself a very perfect picture !;
yet 1t has six characteristic and familiar scenes
in pencil. There is an interesting paper on
umbrellas, with picture Of the first umbrella
in the streets OF London. "a Gunpowder
Plot is the story Of an assault upon hornets
nest, in which the strategy of the attacking
party has to contend against the power and
numbers of the garrison, humorous and

A ~ Fellow,

To call Mr.. John W. Hawkins "fellow, as
Eoery Ecening does, in its issue of last evening,
may be smart but it is certainly neither just nor
fit. Mr. Hawkins has seen proper to exercise the
undoubted right OF a citizen i'll presenting to
Council, and becoming the representative of,
certain charges against Mr. Hyde. That Mr..
Hawkins brought them forward in good faith we
presume few will deny. and when we remember
the usual timidity Of people IN regard to public
affairs, and the extreme difficulty OF finding any
citizen with courage enough to help make public
officials tread precisely in the path of their duty
there is reason to compliment Mr.. Hawkins on
his having the courage and energy to appear in
such a position. We have found him.
heretofore, Possessed of just such quail
ties, and while he has not unfre-
quently been opposed to tho COMMERCIAL
on various questions of more or less Importance,
that fact does not prevent our saying, in justice
to him, that in the public positions which he has
filled he has dschS ged his duty like man. We
were called upon to note this fact, few weeks
ago, whom, as one OF the Grand Jury, he had the
proper legal process issued for ONeill, the pc
hceman who shot and killed little girl.
AS to the propriety of that sort of Journalism
which aneers at John W. Hawkins as fel-
low" because he asks an investigation into Mr.
Hyde's proceedings, We say nothing, but as to
ts justice, if he is " fellow what are some
other people?

MR.. HYpE,s DEMOCRATIC BASIN.

1t is not worth while to discuss the abstract
proposition whether or not Republican Chief
Engineer of the Water Works should or should
not select Republicans for the positions of re-
sponsbility under him. In thia community there
are two opinions, one Of the other OF which
would be expressed by ninety-nine hundredths
of the people. Republicans would say that Mr..
Hyde, il he is Republican, as he declared him
self and his friends pledged him to be, is
in honor bound to give the patronage of
his place to men of his own party, 80
long as he finds therein persons fit and
competent; while Democrats would laugh at
the idea of his doing anything else, except as a
"sell-out." They will not hesitate to say, il
speaking candidly, that il relations were
changed, and Mr.. Hyde had been elected as a
Democrat, with Democratic majority in Coun-
Gil, they would expect him, OF course, to select
his subordinates from their party, and nowhere
else. This is a fact so well understood that 1t
needs only to be mentioned.
Now, Mr.. Hyde has no moral right to make
his organization at the reservoir II Democratic
machine, rs he has substantially done. He has
no moral right to discharge Republicans and fill
their places with Democrats, until only about five
out OF twenty-five OF tue bosses. tme-keepers,
clerks, &c, are Republicans, and then put the
whole concern In the hands of Democratic
wire-puller like Councilman McIntre. Mr..
Hyde WAS chosen as a Republican, and
would not have been elected If he had not been
represented to be such, in the most positive
manner. Neither John II. Adams nor William
Candy, both of whose votes he got, and both Of
,nl,cl 'oere necessary, would have touched him,
if he had been supposed capable.of taking the
course he has taken. They were elected to
Council by Republican majorities, as Republi-
cans, and they would not, for one moment, have
given him their support, except on the assurance
that he also belonged to the Republican party,
by convictionI and upon principle, and was,
moreover, man of honor who would be faith
full to the implied pledges of his election.
The placing of the reservoir force not only
under the direction of Democratic snb-bosses,
but in the general charge Of Councilman Mr..
McIntire, is the last scandal and one not to be
patiently borne. II this we're to be endured, the
Republican party in this city would be justly the
laughing-stock of it's opponents. Such spec
tscle would be evidence that it neither regarded
its duty to its own members nor even its duty to
the community-thst Of filling places of respon-
sibility with fit and meritorious persons
