our voices against barbarism and ignorance
But it happens in civilized New York, whose
rulers have made it the most unhealthy city
in the world. This is the root of theiwhole
matter-that we are ruled by knaves and
fools. New York could be made as healthy
as Paris or London. 1t has better natural ad-
vantages 1t is surrounded with water. The
soil is easily drained. The sea is at our doors.
A Moorish alcalde could take New York and
make it a delightful city in summer. But
our rulers are corrupt or idiotic. We have
Twecds who plunder or Wickhams who do
not know enough to steal, and neglect every
thing. Rings control the city. TO please
one ring rapid transit is postponed; to
please another soap factories are permitted
to pollute the atmosphere to please q
third the Harlem flats and otIer nuisances
are allowed to generate malaria; to please
fourth we give up one Of our downtown
parks to railway and propose to throw in
the Battery; to please others we allow our
streets to be paved with wood and tar. which
generate diphtheria we have sidewalks
burdened with death. All of this could be
remedied by good government.
AS we have said, there is not one Of the
gentle, suffering, innocent souls of the two
thousand children who have died within q
month from the want Of fresh air who is not
a martyr to the system which sways this
city. Surely the time has come for us to
put an end to it, to take hold of the great
city as though it were a mansion or busi-
ness and so manage it that all the blessings
Of civilization would fall alike upon the rich
and the poor. Ifever there was time when
the people OF New York should look to their
lives and homes, the lives and happiness of
their children, it is now, when the children
of the poor are dying by thousands, and
when, if there were good government, the
largest part of these lives would be spared.

The New York Posr OFFICE having been
investigated the Committee on Public
Buildings yesterday made a report to the
House practically censuring the completion
of the structure after the appropriation was
exhausted, but not indicating any fraud in
the work 1t strikes us that this is cheap
exposure. We can see no good reason for
complaining that the building was not ex-
posed to damage and delay merely because
Congress was slow in voting the necessary
appropriations. If there had been waste or
fraud there might have been cause for COM

edness and misery and desolation would over

Speaking of emancipation in the British
West India Islands he aid:-"Very differ
ent would be the result of abolition in the
United States. To form q correct concep-
ton of what would be the result we must
look, not to jamaica, but to ST. Domingo
for example. The change would be followed
by unforgiving hate between the two races
and end in bloody and deadly struggle be-
tween them for superiority. One or the
other would have to be subjugated. extir-
pated or expelled and desolation would
overspread their territories, as in st. Do
mingo, from which it would take centuries
to recover" Works. ", 389) We could
multiply such quotations to any extent from
the works of Mr.. Calhoun and the speeches
and declarations of other democratic states
men. The tendencies which they depicted
in glowing colors have thus far been held in
check by federal authority; but if all outside
checks should be withdrawn on the election Of
a democratic President can anybody be GER

even the faintest ground of probability
for such predictions to rest upon the foolish
flippancy of the democratic editors, who
liken the race troubles in the South to occa-
sional disturbances of the peace in the
North, is sufficiently apparent. Unless
every democratic statesman who enjoyed the
confidence of the party when it was in
power was silly dreamer, frightened by
the chimeras of his own Imagination, there
is a very broad distinction between the con-
dition of the South since emancipation and
that of any Northern community We be-
lieve, or at least hope, that Governor Tilden
will recognize this distinction and that he
will speak out in such forcible language as
will prevent republican demagogues from
alarming the negroes and sowing in their
minds the seeds of rebellion if he should
be elected,

Public Health and n Public Duty.


The weather was in relenting mood yes
terday. We are told by cable that storm
will come upon us to-day. Other prophets
bid us look out for cool weather by Tuesday.
There is no certainty of this, and even if we
were to have pause in the heated term
there is no assurance that what we sec now
may not be seen in August and September.
When we look at the warm weather as a visi-
tation of Providence, as something that may
never come again, we show heedlessness and
folly. Our duty is to prepare for this torrid
season as part of our years life. We
should take lessons from our friends in the
warmer climates-in Morocco, Brazil and
Spain. We should so arrange our city that
there would be little suffering in summer and
winter BY neglectng proper sanitary pre-
cautions we make New York the most un-
healthy city in the world. And the appalling
evidence of this is the fact that within q
month over two thousand children have
died.
If this had happened in Tangiers or Bonn
bay or Madrid how we should have lifted

BELKNAP-"GUu.T' AND 'JURrspIcrroN. -
The Belknap case hurries to a close. The
evidence of the Secretary's guilt is unmis-
taxable. Mr.. Belknap's attorneys make no
defence except the technical one that the
Senate has no jurisdiction, and therefore
cannot pass Judgment We fear, from the
question submitted to the managers by Mr..
Conkling, that there is disposition on the
part of some Senators to acquit the Secre-
tary on the ground that there is no jurisdic-
ton. Mr.. Conkling seems to labor under
this impression. and it is n marvel that so
able and clear-sighted a man should fall into
the blunder. The question of jurisdiction
is one thing, that of guilt or innocence an
other. The Senate has settled the first and
in such manner that it will become pre-
cedent in all impeachment cases-a princi-
pie in impeachment law. But one issue re-
mains-that OF guilt or innocence e--and upon
this alone each Senator will pass.

The Indian Question.

Colonel Sturgis, Colonel of the Seventh
cavalry, the regiment of which the lamented
Custer was lieutenant colonel. has been in
terviewed again by reporter of the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat The Colonel proves
to be flowing spring of information for re-
porters, as there have been several inter-
views with him since the Yellowstone disas-
ter. AS to the opinions which Colonel Stur-
gis chooses to entertain of the valor, the
courage or the military traits of Custer we
have nothing to say. The Colonel requires
the kindest treatment from the country,
for the massacre took from him his only son.
Even if we were disposed to resent the
harshness of his judgment of Custer we
should feel restrained by the fact that upon
him rests the shadow of deep and lasting
grief. There is one point in this interview,
however, which merits attention. The
Colonel. according to the reporter, ''espe-
cially deprecated the manner in which such
papers as the New YORK HERALD sought to
make demigod out Of Custer and to erect
n monument to Custer only, and not to his
soldiers" We are afraid the Colonel has not
read the HERALD, and if he is no surer of his
facts in commenting upon fhe Indian ques-
ton than in discussing the HERALD he is an
unsafe critic.
We have said over ando over again that we
do not propose to build merely monument
to Custer. In fact, we do not propose to
build a monument at all. AS newspaper
we receive such subscriptions as the people
choose to send. At the proper time we shall
turn the money over to some of the associa-
tions who have the work in hand, and at the
head of one we have no less a soldier than
Sheridan. Moreover, whenever we have had
occasion to discuss the matter. we have said
that the purpose Of this monument is to
honor Custer and his men-not one more
than the other, but to honor ALL The idea
is to commemorate an achievement of valor
and self-denial, the performance of solemn,
high duty. The men who did this are
worthy of lasting fame. 1t will be a me-
mento to the young Sturgis, who died like
hero i'll his first campaign, as we'll as to the
commander who there crowned brilliant
and noble life.

In THE INTEREST OF HARMONY. that
the republicans are casting about for State
ticket that will harmonize the party let us
make this suggestion
For Governor,
RoscoE CoSSliSG, OF ONEIDA
For Lieutenant Governor,
RkuREN +. lkNroN. of CnArrAuor

There are many arguments in favor of this
ticket. 1t would enable Mr Conkling to 60
before the people and show the country his
real strength. Itwould give us his personal
support in the canvass. II would bring Mr.
Fenton back into active rotations with the
party. 1t would unite both wings of the
party. II the republicans lost the State Mr.
Conkling would still be Senator. If they
carried the State then Carl Schurz or George
William Curtis could be chosen 10 take his
place, thus crowning the cd6ce of harmony
and reconciliation. "Let Us have peace"

As ANNOUNCED IN THE HERALD the begin
ming of the coming week will bring cooler
weather The barometric areas have reas-
,umed their alterations in our latitude, and
NE may. therefore, look forward to the re-
aainder Of the summer for genial warmth,
tempered occasionally by cooling winds
from the westward. However, in the South
ern and Southwestern States, the isotherms
indicate marked differences of temperature
between points near to each other, and
.hcse, with the peculiar distribution of pres
mres in those regions, cause us to antici-
pate local storms and even tornadoes in the

SIR EDWARD WILLIAM WATKIN is British
statesman of a peculiar stamp, and it seems
he is anxious that Great Britain shall offer
her friendly Offices for the termination of
the war with the Sioux. Watkin apparently
sympathizes with the Indians in this strug
gle, and we are quite willing that he shall
undertake mission to Sitting Bull as soon
as he is ready to visit that gentle savage. 1t
is possible, however, that Watkin. and Sit
Ting Bull have real estate interests in the
same neighborhood.

The CONDITION of the English and Scotch
operatives in the mills is growing worse, and
the reduction of wages is likely to become
general. This will be followed by strikes
and great suffering, and in the end the
workmen will be worsted. The business
depression is so severe it is to be feared that
only starving labor will revive it.

Tn. South and the Canvass.

One of the arguments addressed to the
white men in the South to win their
votes for Tilden is that his election
will be the dawn of new era to
the Southern people. In what way can
Tilden help the South His record is that
of Union man. He supported the war. He
accepts all the amendments to the constitu-
ton; all the measures Of reconstruction. He
would not pay the Confederate debt. II
President all he could do would be to re-
move the federal officers and appoint new
ones; and even in this he would have TO meet
the approval of Senate which will be repub-
lican, most likely, whether he is elected or
not. In the hope of winning this barren
recognition the Southern men array them
selves against the republicans, and give
renewed reasons for the continuance in
power of the republican party. And
yet the republicans, especially in the
letter Of Hayes, offer to meet the
Southern men on equal ground, and
let bygones be bygones, and have no future
but the whole Union, one and indivisible.
If the Southern men would take the repub-
licans at their word there would be an end
of sectionslism, and very soon an end of the
republican party. New issues would arise
in which the war, race, reconstruction would
have no place-issues like those which
divided the federalists and republicans in
the past This would give the South q
vantage ground it has never yet possessed.
We are surprised that Southern men like
Lamar, Gordon and Fitzhugh Lee do not
see this A really great Southern statesman
could do as much for the South now az
Thiers did for France when he threw aside
the monarchical traditions of life and ac-
cepted the Republic.

The PRESS AND SUBscRIFTIoNs.-Som
Western journals deprecate the practice Of
the New York newspapers taking up sub
scriptions for objects of public interest or
utility. They misunderstood one of the
higher functions of the metropolitan press.
A newspaper is a public institution. The
people know it. They have confidence in it.
1t is in constant relations with the public.
If citizen wants to'give money to charity
or to some object of general interest he can
do it more readily by sending it to his news
paper than in any other way. He knows
that it will be received, that it will be pub
licly acknowledged, that it will find its
proper uses and that other well intentioned
people may be moved to follow his example.
Thus the newspaper becomes the agency foI
useful and good work, and performs one Of
the offices which the increasing power of the
press forces upon journalists more and more
every day.

quently while in Congress, and he does him.
self credit in this response to an appeal in

We trust he will be able to add large sum
to the subscriptions already received, but it
is not proper that the public should be con-
tent with such efforts at securing the neces-
sary amount. Let everybody contribute, so
