RIGHT WORTHY GRAND LODGE OF GOOD
TEMpLARs -"W. F. NJ" under the date Of
Bloomington, ILL.,, May "a, writes that the
Right Worthy Grand Lodge of Good Templars
is in session in that city, and will continue for
five days. Nearly every civilized nation is
represented by delegates. Maine is represented
by W. f. Morrill, of Portland, and W. o.
Fuller of Recklsnd. Sunday afternoon an
immense public meeting was held in Chicago,
which was addressed by men and women from
various parts of this country and England.
The report of the Right Grand Worthy Chief
Templar (not yet made public shows that
lodges of the Order have been established in
South Africa, Quebec, Wales, the New Zea-
lands, Mississippi, Arkansas, and are about to
be established in Japan and Jamaica. The
total present membership is $4,000, a net gain
of 10, 600 the past year. The largest gains in
membership are reported in Alabama, Canada,
Georgia, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Mime
sofa, Missouri, North Carolina, Wisconsin,
Tennessee and Scotland. The receipts the past
year were $19s6S.45. and the expenditures
S14,2OS77. The assets OF the organization over
its liabilities are S1S,3l1 TO- The meetings are
full of interest. 1t is probable that the next
session will be held in Philadelphia the last
week in June.

The Hot Season.

Now that the hot season is really upon US
we begin to grumble, in shame-faced man
ner at first, at the excessive beat. We have
scarcely got through snarling at the cold, and
have had insufficient time as yet to get accus-
toned to new vocabulary of expletives dtted
to the season. Some there are who are always
prepared, who hold that the Internal climate
is as variable as our own, and who conse-
quently have an objurgatory epithet pat to
the lips whatever degree of temperature the
mercury may mark. But these are foolish
fellows, having no warrant in theology, nature
or tradition, for their contradictory belief 1t
will take at least one week for most of US to
forget our ardent longings for summer and
our railing at the cold. By that time we shall
be mplorng wind from off the icebergs and
seeking the shades of the mountains.
The hot season always takes us by surprise.
Last year 1t surprised us by not coming at all.
But it seems minded this year TO atone for its
neglect by an added warmth of greeting. 1t
is not to be wondered at that between lovers
like the Sun and Earth the first embrace at
ter long arrangement should be fervid
one. We ought to pardon much in consider
alton of that. Indeed remembering our bit
ter experience of the winter, our earnest de-
sire for the summer sun, we ought to submit
without frown or grumble heat even
which shall compel everything except the
trees to 60 al fresco.
1t is pity during the hot summer now be-
fore us that those who are compelled to pass
their time in the city cannot change their
houses as they do their clothes. One ought to
be able to move, on the approach OF the
warn term, from the thick-walled winter
home to dwelling as airy as seaside suit
and as open as basket hat. The perfection
of luxury will not have been reached until
this change of tenements is possible. How
ever we can manage to live without great dis
comfort in the houses we have framed to
keep out the winter cold. If we do suffer
little from the heat the summer makes ample
amends with its flowers and fruit. Clad in
the thinnest of suits and keeping the coolest
of tempers we can endure the blazing sun of
August even without distress.

THE ingenious French have contrived
novel way to impress the baabaric mind. M.
de Brazza, who has charge of the expedition
to Senegal, carries an electric battery in his
pocket communicating with two rings on his
hand and with other apparatus scattered
about his person. When he shakes hands
with savage chief that chief will be very
much astonished, for an electric shock will
run up his arm and he will see lightning
playing about the head of his visitor. Nat
urally he will think he is being interviewed
by the devil, and will be ready to consent to
anything in order to get away.

ABOUT this time look out for cholera reme-
dies and like cheerful literature in the news
papers. For the next four months we shall
be cautioned against eating anything we
want to eat and drinking anything We want
to drink. Even the temperance organs will
join in the cry against cold water. The grav-
est objections will be advanced against un-
ripe fiuit, and to the Journalistic mind all
fruits are unripe except winter apples. An
onslaught will also be made upon meat, and
the editors, after partaking literally of roast
and boiled, will go to their sanctums and
write articles in advocacy of vegetaranism.
1t is only in winter that we can eat and
drink what we please.

GRANTS LETTER.-There seems to be,
amongst editors Mt least, but little diff
ference of opinion as to the meaning Of
Grants letter to the President of the Re-
publican State Convention of Pennsyl-
vaniG. All agree that it clearly indicates
a strong desire on his part to be Pres-
dent during third term, if not afourth,
a fifth, and SO on. The New York Tri-
6une is charitable enough to profess to
believe that Grant intended his letter
for q declination made in good faith
The Herald and the H1orid are not so
liberal. The Times significantly re-
marks that the Republicans at least must
accept it MS a positive assurance that
Grant is not n candidate. The Baltimore
american reads the letter as meaning
that Grant would rather run than not.
The Sun seems to he rather more chari-
table, but hits the mark when it saws
that the letter '.means nothing'-that is,
1t leaves Grant as free to accept the
nomination as lie was before he wrote it..
The Philadelphia papers speak in much
the same strain as do those of other
places The Presidents little orgnn,"
ms the IIIord calls the Washington
Republican, talks now just as it
has been talking for the last year or
two on this subject. It is for President
Grant first, last, and ell the time BY
the way, Grants letter reads exactly rs
did the editorials with which the RepuI-
,lican favored the public last winter The
letter and the editorials had q common
origin, though Grant likely dictated
rather than wrote the editorials. The
Richmond Dispatch thinks it is pretty
certain that the hint thrown out by the
New York Times is the one upon which
the Northern Republicans will act They
will profess to believe that Grant is in
earnest, and will proceed not only to de-
clare for new candidates, but to de-
lnounce their opponents for ever having
dared to suspect that Grant would like
ito run for the third time. They must
feel as if burden had been removed
from their shoulders. Tho fear of the
C@sarism that might be concealed in a
third term had much to do with the
great success of the Democratic party in
the elections of last fall. General Dix is
supposed to have lost the Governorship
of New York. in consequence of this fear.
Altogether, it is rather difficult to foretell
what will be the results of the publica-
ton of this singular lettes. If he chooses,
Grant can organize q large personal
party. The Radicals of the Southern
States no can. control absolutely. Per-
haps We shall have two Republican no
tional conventions, after the manner of
the Douglas and the Breckenridge con-
ventions of 1860

to other purposes, and that the total debt
exceeds the limit of 5000, 900 placed upon 1t
by the Legislature of the State Further,
that the City Hall, for the construction
of which the issue Of bonds was authorized
by the Legislature, remains unfinished,
and the new Aims House is likely to repeat
the history OF the new market in conse-
quence Of the wastefulness, criminal mis-
management and utter incompetency of the
city administration
}; The committee beg to add single word
as to the future. It will require m annual
tax Of nearly ten mills to pay the interest
on the debt. This must bc provided for
Two judgments for large amounts have
already been entered up against tho city in
tional Bank, and the other by the Colum-
bia Water Power Company, upon which
further proceedings may be anticipated;
while smaller judgments have already been
executed upon the carts and mules of the
city. Next year $4,000 of the present
bonded debt of the city falls due, and they
must be provided for. To this may be
added the arrears of unpaid coupons,
interest on the borrowed money, further
due under the water contract, and
n large sum due to many creditors for small
bills, which are being constantly created,
making a mass of obligations which will
continue to increase the cmbarrassments of
the city, unless its financial management
is changed to its very foundations and
economy and responsibility introduced into
every department. If it's affairs be left TO
drift on rs during the pnst five years, we
may anticipate q percmpto'y mondamus to
levy taxes to pay its indebtedness, just

Itract was made beyopd an arrangement boz
tween Mr. Alexander and certain commit
tees of the Council. The price paid for
this work is six cents per pound, or $134. 10
per ton for plain rough castings! The
large amount Of money required to meet
these payments is presumed to hays been
taken from the proceeds of the sales Of the
bonds Such use Of these funds would
have been legal after the completion of the
lCity Hall, Or reservation of enough funds
to complete it; but the Mayor and Council
have left the City Hall unfinished, and
diverted the funds to purpose which
could; only become legal one after full
Legislature. The Mayor aids in this diver
sion, and his machine establishment gets
the profits Of the work.
The committee take this occasion to ex-
press the opinion that the Mayor and men,
bers Of the City Council have no right to
enter into contract with themselves as in
ldividuals, to furnish supplies to tho city,
Ior enter into contracts for work to be done
They occupy the position of trustees,
charged with the care and protection of the
interests of the city, and they cannot net
for it in double capacity. 1t is illegal to
do 80, being of itself violation of the trust.
The accounts under examination, show
that all supplies to the city are furnished
by members of the City Council; the evil
|going SO far that the supplies and contracts
are given to the members of the several
committees having special charge of the de-
partment supplied. Nor should contracts
for supplies be awarded, except to the
lowest responsible bidder, after public
notice, so that the city might get the bene-
fit of competition. The present system is
full Of abuses, and requires rndical change.
The committee have also compiled from
the books and accounts the following items,
which they have placed together under the
