THE Herald presents a frightful pic

THE Herald presents frightful pic
ture OF the present sanitary condition of
New York City, and of its appalling
death rate as compared with that of 9TH
er cities less favored by nature and po-
sition. The stenches, malaria, nu.-
sances, and other evils complained of by
suffering people lead the Herald to re-
mark that New York is the worst gov
erned city on the face of the globe.
Paris is twice as large as New York, and
is situated il humid climate; its death
rate is 224 London is nearly four
times as large as New York, and Il city
densely populated with every form Of
misery and want; its death rate is 17.6.
In Boston the is "a 60; in ST. Louis, &C.
90; CharIston situated in a ma!arial conn.
try, shows only 26.55. In Brooklyn the
rate is per cent less than New York,
cent. In New York, while i'll torrid Phil
adelphia it is per cent. lii New York
the death rate for the week ending July
was 47.G4. The proportion of deaths,
therefore, is nearly three times as great
in New York as in London. In twenty
five days over two thousand children
under five years were buried, the direct
cause being cholera ilfantum, caused ly
extreme heat and want of proper d e
and fresh air. 1t is neither very fiat
tering nor credit;ble reflection to Thu k
that the great commercial metropolis OF
the East the gateway to a great republic,
is the worst governed, most unhealthy,
and corrupt city in the civilized Chris
tan world.

THE best joke of the political season
is the effort made to change the St.
Louis platform. The plank titled
against the s'Heathen Chinee'' has been
entirely omitted. and the soft money
plank, demanding the repeal of the re-
sumption clause has been changed to
read 9 resumption date" We say this
is joke, because it has that thinness
that will interfere with nobody's per
ceptions and it indicates that even at
this early sta sc of the campaign. the
Democrats have found barriers which
are worthy of notice and destruction.
But in this effort they lose their soft
money men and the Pacific Coasters
who hate the Cinese.

never forgotten them, but such is the fact.
But we are glad and happy to share them
again. and we look joyfully forward to
their perpetuity as our brightest hope. But
just here we pause. We have heard words
ofpeace and fraternal regard before, and re.
member too well that the South has been too
prone to insist on monopoly of patriotism.
We love the patriotism of acts more than of
words, and when these orators are express
ing grandiloquent sentiments that may be
and are made use Of for sectional and party
purposes, and in the guise Of generosity an
advantage in political sense is sought to
be won by them, we say that they are but
as sounding brass and tinklIng cymbal.
There is no more Of the true music of pa
triotism in them than in the beating Of the
Chinese tom.tom. Genuine sentiments of
good. will we revere, but the studied plan
to gain Northern votes by the display of
meteoric and strangely -coincldent shower
of patriotic fireworks does not deceive In
the least. The North has held out its hand
of amity for years. All that is to be done
is to step up quietly and take it. There
is no need of going into convulsions of
patriotism about it. There is nothing of
the war troubles to forgive. They are al
ready forgotten. But the peace asked for
by the North is the peace of to-day. 1t
wants the South to come here with clean
hands from the latest elections; not with
forgiveness for war wrongs done or re-
ceived, but with genuine desire expressed
in acts to live q new and better life.

THE peculiar Civil Service system in
augurated by the Democracy in the House
will be robbed of one victim at least. We
refer of course to the venerable journal
clerk of that body, MIR. John NJ. Barclay,
whose twenty nine years service in po-
sitions which have enabled him to win
widespread respect. have been illustrated
by the closest and most commen6able at
tention to duty. Profiting by the ex-
perience of DR.. Mehafey, the reading
clerk, whose retention in office had been
voluntarily promised by his superiors, and
who has been summarily requested to
'tstep down and out" Mr.. Barclay tend
cred his resignation to take effect yester-
day, and thereby escaped the almost GER
tainty of becoming a victim to the ex-C Con-
federate guillotine. With Barclay, Clayton
and MehafeY gone. the last vestige of ad-
herence to the true principles Of civil SER
vice reform will have disappeared before
the greed for Office which has disgraced
the present House, and the almost invalid
able services Of three competent and de-
serving public servants will have been
most injudiciously and unwarrantably dis
Densed with

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The meeting Of the Woman Suffrage As
sociation to day will be of more than ordi-
nary importance. The movement has
gathered strength during the last few
years, and is commanding, as 1t should,
the serious consideration of the coming, if
not of the present statesman. The day has
passed when the question may be laughed
and sneered into oblivion. 1t presents it
self at every turn, and must be met squarely
upon its merits. Thinking men are arriv-
ing at the conclusion that it must be treated
seriously. 1t is an clement that is bound
sooner or later to exercise an important in
fuence upon our political future. Perhaps
it will be the absorbing question in the
opening year of our new century. And
very many men are asking themselves why
it should not become so? 1t is suggested
that the labor of the women Of this country
is important to the creation Of wealth, per-
haps quite as much so as that of men. A
hard working man saves and thrives ac-
cording as his wife and daughters are in
dustrious and economical. Much of the
economy which produces individual wealth
is due to the management and discretion
and wisdom of the women as to those of the
men, Ifthen, the women are co-workers and
expert economists, why have they not an
equal right to voice in making those laws
which protect persons and property?
Again, it is suggested that laborers are tax
payers. In this country the consumer pays
the taxes. Those who produce nothing are
drones; they live upon the labor of others.
If women labor more hours than men, if
they earn the bread they consume, are they
not taxpayers? And if they are taxpayers,
even in this sense, have they not the same
moral right to vote which the men claim,
and which the genius of our republican
institutions accord to the laborer, however
humble? These suggestions certainly ap-
pear to be logical and worthy of serious
consideration.
Another very important feature of the
woman-sufrage question is the hope (not
to say facD which many indulge, that
through this element, if in no other way,
sounder and more elevated and pure state
of political morals may be achieved. 1t is
averred by many that to clothe woman with
the ballot will degrade her to the present
level of pot-hous politicians. But is there
any real danger of this? Did the entrance
of the influence and presence of woman into
any earthly sphere ever result in baneful
effect upon men? Does not experience
teach us rather that the appearance of such
influences exert refining tendency every
where? Who believes that if woman at
tended at the hustings they would be
held at groggeries, or that they would re-
suit in drunken orgies and disgraceful
fights2 Who knows but that we are to be
indebted to the ballot in female hands for
greater purity of elections and G sounder
code of political morals than now prevail
throughout our country2

THE proposed reduction of the salaries of
our diplomatic officers is simply piece of
infamous demagogism. The world over
the diplomatic representatives of the United
States are respected because of the i'm
portance of their Government, and are
consequently expected to act the same as
their contemporaries from other Govern
ments. The salaries paid to them now
are not sufficient to support them in their
efforts to do this, and they are consequently
compelled to draw upon their private
means. These facts are known to the
Democratic demagogues in the House, as
well as the further fact that the Senate will
probably refuse to concur in the proposed
reduction. They will claim, however,
when the Senate thus refuses, that they
attempted to cut down expenses and were
prevented from so doing by the Republican
majority in the upper House. This specious
claim, presented in the coming campaign,
will serve as political capital-about all of
that scarce material that the Democrats
will be able to discover

THE New York Tribune still demands
the immediate disgrace and expulsion Of
Senator Spencer, of Ala. 1t admits, how
ever, that the evidence against him is en-
tirely ez parte, and that the memorial sent
to the Senate by the Alabama Legislature
regarding this matter is based upon the
prejudiced assertions Of violent partisans.
Without waiting TO hear his defense it pro-
ceeds to arraign the Senator on these
charges, try him, find him guilty and, as
we have said, demand his punishment. 1t
is fortunate that the Tribune is not all
powerful in this instance, and it is also
fortunate that the Senate, before which the
case will soon come for final action, is not
so easily influenced by partisan and per-
sonal malice as that journal

THE Hon. Thomas c. Platt, Representa-

has been immortalized by the portrait
fiend of the New York Graphic. Mr.. Platt
years ago wore side-whiskers, but now
wears q full nut-brown beard. The por-
trait-fend aforesaid seems to be ignorant of
this important change in the honorable
gentleman's appearance, however, and in
Tuesdays issue Of his journal gives to the
public portrait Of Mr.. Platt as he ap-
peared when he was first elected to Con-
gress. Next to being killed in battle and
having ones name spelled wrong in the
official bulletin, the greatest glory of mod

have ones face printed wrong in the

however, that Mr.. Platt will survive this

In RESPONSE to published call, about
one hundred and fifty Republicans of the
District assembled last night and decided
to make an effort to reorganize the party
in this District. AS a primary measure
they adopted resolutions looking to the
simultaneous election of three delegates
from each of the old Legislative districts,
to compose central committee. The i'm
mediate necessity for such an organization
is to provide for the election of two dele
gates to the National Nominating Conven-
ton in Cincinnati. who it is only right and
proper should fully represent the Republi-
can sentiment of the capital. The day
was fixed for the election of said delegates,
and it should be the acceptable duty Of
every Republican voter to attend the ward

sentatives to the central committee.

record is as pure and consistent as that of
any man in the country, either in public or

the unbounded abuse Of the Opposition by
being brought out as a candidate for Presi-

this for the Opposition, and the Senator

In THE present rage for retrenchment it
is proposed to make sweeping reduction
of salaries. Reformers should recollect
that the salaries of the first, second, third
and fourth class clerks in the Executive
Departments are the same now that they
were paid liz gold before the war. The
pay of these grades has never been raised
except by an extra allowance of twenty
per cent. for one year. As these salaries
were fixed by the Democratic party, when
prices of subsistence were fifty per cent.
lower than now, it is submitted that they
were either extrayagant when established
or that they are much too low now.
