SUMMERING 1T AT UNCLE SANS
EXPENSE.

Only two weeks ago Secretary Bris-
tow announced with some flourish that
he intended putting a stop to official
summer tours at Government expense,
so far as his department was concern
ed. Yet the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Times specifies two such
expeditions now organizing under his
very nose. Avery, his chief clerk, and
two members of the Lighthouse Board,
are soon to set out for a trip to San
Francisco. There a revenue steamer
will take them on board, when the in.
teresting crowd will proceed to inspect
the lighthouse system Of the Pacific
coast. The other expedition is to be
under the charge Of Bluford Wilson,
Solicitor Of the Treasury. Its destina-
ton is Europe. The alleged object of
this visit is to secure the United States
bonds which have been called in for
redemption. There is no law for the
reception Of bonds for redemption
other than in this country. Just how
this junketing trip for the pleasure of
a few faYorites can be justified is not
plain.

SPEAKING of the crops in Louisiana,
the New Orleans Picaylrne says reia-
bic accounts from every quarter concur
in representing the crops of this year
as exceptionally fine. A better mu-
tual feeling prevails as between en-
ployer and employee, and there has
been a benefcent concurrence Of cir
cumstances to reward the courageous
energy with which, despite the many
reverses and discouragem ents Of the

JUDGING from the testimony elected,
there seems to be ample occasion for
the appointment by the New York Leg
islature of a committee to investigate
the causes Of crime in New York city.
Last Tuesday, Police Sergeant John R.
Groo was before the committee and re-
lated his experience on the force. In
one panel house robbery after robbery
has been reported to the police. without
any arrests resulting or any disturb
ance of its inmates. The charges of
this officer are direct and positive
against Police Captain named Will
liams and a ward detective named Ter
williger, and embrace blackmailing as
well as neglect of duty. In view of
these revelations, the NesV York HeraPl
suggests that "the people have more
to fear from the police than from the
thieves and burglars, who seem to be
the mere victims of police robbery"

MAYOR BARCLAY, Of Elgin, Illinois,
expresses tho opinion that city war
rants issued when there is no money in
the treasury are about as worthless as
checks drawn by an individual against
a bank account that does not exist.
Notwithstanding its truth there is no
occasion for the local excitement
arising from this dictdm, because the
city warrant and bank check are alike
evidences Of acknowledged claims.

GOBBLING A NEGRO UNIVERSITY.

GOBBLING A NEGRO UNIVERSITY.
Herea5outs, the negroes are pushing
forward with commendable zeal some
two or three institutions of learning on
a large scale. What the future of these
enterprises may be, or who will own
them a dozen years hence, is rather
problematical, unless the darkey de-
velOps more wisdom in the future than
be has since the war. The recent
change in the management of the How
ard University at Washington has pro-
duced considerable commotion among
the representatives Of the negro ele-
ment in that city, the displacement Of
the daH1-hued J. NJ. Langston from the
presidency and the election Of the white
Rev. George Whipple being regarded
as the first step toward placing the in
stitution in the hands Of the Congrega-
tionalists, a denomination to which few
or no negroes belong. The excitement
has reached such a pitch that Fred
Douglass feels constrained TO respond
to frequent inquiries about it, but he
does not app ar tesbe fully cognisant
Of the real designs Of the Board, and
contants himself with a few words Of
caution:
While there was no declaration of a
purpose to change the character Of
Howard University TO make it in any
measure a mere tender to either the
American Missionary Association or to
the COngregatiOnalists, viii not deny
that the colOred members of the Board
thought they saw In the election of Mr..
Whipple, and in the influence by which
he was elected, tendency in these d.
! rectiOns.
With the history of the Freedmen's
Bank before them, an Institution which
afforded a set of hungry sharks, with
professions of piety upon their lips,
the opportunity to rob the freedmen of
their hard earnings, the colored Trus-
tees Of the University may, be pardoRed
for being a little suspiciOus Of having
the University pass into the exclusive
control of any religious organization.
Howard University, to-day, owns prop
erty to the amount of nearly million
of dollars, and the control of the insti-
tuition even In respect to this vast sum,
is not undesirable, and since it is
money drawn from the blood of colored
soldiers, it was not unreasonable that
colored men desire a voice in its man
agement.

The fiscal year closes june so, and it
is now pretty evident that the Treasury
receipts viii fall short, by over twenty
million dollars, of meeting its expendi-
lures, including the sinking fund. The
deficiency cannot be avoided, because
after obtaining an increase Of taxation
from the last Congress for that express
purpose, Bristow met the claims of the
sinking fund. Therefore, thedefciency
must be carried over into the next fs-
cal year, and a strenuous effort is being
made to delay the presentation Of war
rants already due, until the appropria-
tions for the coming twelve month are
available. This involves the same old
vicious style of bookkeeping that dis
graeed Richardson's administration.
The public have expected better things
Of his successor from Kentucky.

NOT ANY MORE, H You PLEASE.
ST Louis Dispatch

The tone and the persistent reitera-
ton of the Liberal Republicans and In
dependent newspapers make daily more
and more apparent the fact that these
two elements in politics, whatever their
standing or strength may be, mean to
make a tremendous effort to control the
next national Democratic conventions
They will not succeed, The successful
carrying out of such a programme is
impossible. The Democratic party has
already repented in sackclothand ashes
for the self-inficted wounds of Gin
cinnati where, suddenly overcome with
admiration for the supernatural states
manship of Mr.. Charles Francis Adams,
it got down on its knees to kiss his feet,
and would have. kissed them slobber-
ingly but for the audacity of Gratz
Brown, and the prairie manhood
of the Missourians. Shamed slow
ly to an erect position again,
and before the wrinkles were fairly out
of its back, it had the special gratifea-
ton of hearing Mr.. Adams, when he
came to New York to deliver the eulO-
gy upon Mr.. Seward, declare that the
principles of the Democratic party were
a conspiracy against human rights, and
that as an organization it ought to be
put to he political sword.
Mono more tinkering with the old
party by new corners, apprentices, no.
madic reformers, trar scendental noun
tebanks, and the q sacks of caucus
and convention who have each as bag
gage to bring into the organization only
a bag of oats, one spear, a saddle fit
solely for a barbarian, and a kind of
hairy raiment that in addition to its
grease and dirt, contains also the ira
ditional nine kinds Of lice They made
the platform before, they named the
candidates, they conducted the cam
paign, and a corporal's guard of re-
cruits led a whole Democratic army to
utter and complete defeat. It is
enough. =

THE RON IN TANTMANY.


New York Correspondence Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Tammany Hall is again in trouble,
and the legions of John Morrissey and
John Kelley are in open rebellion. For
several months a storm has been brew
ing in the party, growing out of Mayor
Wickham's selection of Manhattan
Club candidates for fat berths in the
Commissions and Bureaux, and making
the sbort-haired Democrats merely
hewers of wood and drawers of water.
The boys think that they
have been sold out by KEEL
ley and Wickham, and therefore
feel very sore. Then at a conference
of the heads of departments the wages
of the laboring men ON the public
works was reduced forty cents per day,
and this has caused still greater dissat-
isfaction. The workingmen cOnse-
quently Join hands with the Young
Democrats who run primaries and de-
clare that they will burst up Kelly's
ranch. They have in some wards held
primaries and inaugurated a new party,
which promises to become general.
The chances are that before the fall
election takes place there will
be arrayed against Tammany a
party made up of all the discordant
elements that may indeed "bust the
ranch" The present Mayor has be-
come very unpopular, owing to the
"styie" be assumes, and the utter dis
regard in which he holds the men who
elected him to Office. He will not deign
to ride on a street car, or be seen in the
street with ungloved hands, and charges
the city nearly one hundred dollars per
month for carriage riding for himself
and This gorgeous Private Secretary.
He is the butt for journalistic ridicule
as well, and newspaper men generally
consider him amere valet to John Kelly
and John Morrissey, whose bidding he
must do, and then take the abuse upon
himself.
