EFFECTS OF IRE HEAT.

The Troy { y. y } Times, in an article up
on the effects of the late heated term upon
the cities Of the east, calls attention to the
fact that the number oil sunstrokes has
been greater than WAS ever before known in
one season, but disease, it says, is by far
The most destructive agent, in densely pop
ular districts. The poison that lies COM
paratively latent in decaying animal and
vegetable matter in cola weather is active
and deadly with the therm, meter in the
vicinity of 100 degrees. The long continu-
ance OF no: weather has made every
neglected corner source OF poisonous
emanations, so that in many parts of
large cities the air is surcharg.d with
elements in which health, if not life, is all
but impossible for any great length OF time.
The crowded districts of New York have
become almost phenomenal in the misery
that there seeks in vain for breath of air
fit for the lungs. People cannot live in
their hot apartments nights, and so sleep in
the streets. The mortality is especially
great among the infants and thildren. In
twenty-five days nearly 2,200 under five
years of age have died in the metropolis.
The direct cause is cholera infantum, in
duced by the extreme heat and want of
proper diet and fresh air. In such time
as this the curse of the tenement house is
particularly noticeable. Most of the vic
tins live in such marrow quarters, and the
result is death, almost as sure as if bullet
had pierced the heart.

The foregoing paragraphs, arranged in

VERY BACKWARD FOB LEADER

For professional ''reformer," claiming
to act upon principles and to be the man
the people have long been looking for, the
Boston Traueiler thinks Cos. Tllden shows q
surprising want of courage and lsmenta-
bic lack of confidence, both in himaelf and
in hi party friends. The man who has
been so demonstrative in the past is inac-
tive now. The warrior Who promised to
lead an aggressive campaign fingers in his
fortifcations and does not show his head
over the ramparts. With much boasting
as he put on his armor, he hesitates about
taking the field. The reason for this mac
tivity-for this silence, is not difficult to
discover. Congress is in session, and be
does not dare to speak until assured tha,
the acts of his parry friends in
that body will not contradic,
his words. They have no principles,
and he has no principles, but this is the
least Of his concern; his hesitation is mol
due to want Of principle, but to lack Of
policy. He and his sparty friends are all in
accord in their mutual desire TO secure q
party victory, but thev are agreed in moth
ing, unless it be in their hatred of the ne
groes. Thus it is that the voice of the pre-
tentious reformer is hushed, the feet of sh.
braggsrt leader fetterrd. Until Ben Hill
and Cox, and Tarbo1, and Fernando Wood
and Sam Randall, and Lamar, and thei
associates, go home, Tilden dares not say .
word. Was ever party in such a fix? Wa
ever party leader 20 hampered before?
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1876-08-03
THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO DO II.

Notwithstanding all its raging retrench-
ment fever, the House has actually con-
sented to let money he taken out OF the
public treasury to complete the Washington
monument. The bill, which has already
passed the House, for the purpose, provides
for an appropriation Of 100000 from the
Treasury, to be paid in annual installments
Of $4,000. This amount, it is estimated,
will complete the WORK, which it is expected
will be ready for dedication on the ceuten-
NAL anniversary OF the surrender OF Lord
Corvallis, at Yorktown, October l9, 1881.
/, is also proposed that the Government
shall assume the ownership OF the grounds
and monument, and Governmet commits
sion shall, conjoinily with the society, exer-
cise supervision of the work.
The cornerstone OF the monument was
laid on the 4th of July, 1913, by President
Polk, and, after attaining an alti'
tude of 10 feet, the work was
stopped for the want OF funds, and has &c
remained till the present time. The origi'
nal project was an obelisk six hundred ieei
high, with circular colonnade at the base
the whole to cost about 81 100000. Within
few year., modified plan has beer
adopted, reducing the altitude TO 40 feet
and Dispensing with all ornamentatiOn a
the base, save fountain and terraces. About
S275, 900 has already been expended, and it il
estimated that the appropriation now pro
vided for, will be about enough to complete
it, upon the modified plan.
