Old Citizens.

No inquiry can be more interesting to man
than that which seeks to ascertain the primal
condition of him on the earth, the methods
of his life and the early steps of his emer-
gence from that barbarism which made
him of kin with the dragons Of the prime.
Much light has been shed on these impor-
tant subjects of late years. Sir Charles Lyell
and Sir John Lubbock, Mr.. Evans and Mr..
Geike, in England, Boucher de Perthes
Rigollot and DR.. Schmerling. in France,
together with great numbers of scientific
Investigators in Germany, and not few in
our own country, have borne share in this
useful and interesting work: and now Mr..
Charles Rau, of the Smithsonian Institution,
accumulates, in brief series Of short and
compact essays, the results of the lQtest dis
coveries in this line Of investigation giving
the outlines of the theories founded upon
them; and his work, originally published in
successive numbers of Haaper's Magazine, is
now given to the public by that firm in a
handsome volume which deserves the wide
attention it will doubtless receive.
Chronology is, comparatively speaking q
modern science, and while the visible testi-
monies of the primeval man accumulated
by the diligence of modern discovery are
most abundant they do not help us to any
precise dates of the time in which he lived
Antiquity is new beside the bones of him

tritus and all the events of which human
tradition makes montion-Aryan migrations,

nance than opponen is who fought it Mt
every stage and yielded only when they
were overpowered. The wretched misrule
which has resulted from the reconstruction
policy of the republicans shows at what a
tremendous cost they are willing to maintain
negro rights, and the sincerity and efficiency
of their protection to colored citizens is so
entirely beyond doubt that the North can
have no hesitation in trusting them rather
than the democratic party for guarding the
political results of the war. If, therefore,
the republican party could succeed in its
attempt to make the Southern question the
predominant issue in this Presidential cam
vass there is no reason to doubt that it
would carry the election.
The democratic party would have ut least
an equal advantage if it could make the cleo
ton turn on the great question of administra-
tive reform. The republicans are as proiuse
In professions on this issue as the democrats
are on the results of the war and negro
equality. But their sincerity is equally open
to question. If the good faith of the
democrats is exposed to suspicion on the me-
record, that of the republicans is equally sus-
plcious on the reform question on the same
ground. The monstrous abuses which de-
mand reform have grown up and tiourished
under republican rule. 1t is not safe to
trust party to remedy evils which, having
the power, it did not prevent The past
record Of the republican party is as bad on
the reform question as that of the democratic
party is on the negro question. There is
| just as much reason founded on its history
for discrediting its reform professions rs
there is for discredting the democratic
| professions respecting the rights and
equality of the negro race. The repub-
lcan party has been in power for
sixteen years. Had it been true to
the country the reform question could not
have become one of paramount urgency.
It's professions on this head are exposed,
like the democratic professions respecting
negro rights to the suspicion of being a
hollow pretence for electioneering effect
The reform professions of the republican
party belle its record. Had it done its duty
during its long tenure of power there would
be no urgent need of reform
The real question on which this Presi-
dental election is to turn is whether official
honesty and administrative reform be more
important than the protection of negro
rights in the South If the country regards
the negro question as paramount it will elect
Hayes; if it regards the reform question as
paramount it will elect Tilden.

Giinsorc's Beer.

The farce at Gilmores Garden Oh Sunday
evening, when the police were watching the
barroom while beer was distributed from
the galleries. shows the folly Of our police
authorities in their way of enforcing the
laws. II it is wrong to sell beer in Gill
mores Garden it is wrong to sell it anywhere
in the city. And yet it is sold all over the
city. The raid upon the Hippodrome looks
like persecution. and should come to an
end. 1t really brings the law into contempt.
All these attempts to enforce Sunday laws
or sumptuary enactments are opposed to the
spirit of the age. People will respect the
Lords Day from religious motives, and not
because the common councils so or
dain it. If law is necessary to protect
the Sabbath the sanctity of that holy day
rests upon slender foundation. All that
VIC expect from the police is that order shall
be preserved on Sunday as on other days
that there shall be no crimes or breaches Of
the peace. There the functions of the
police should stop. The idea that lemonade
and soda should be sold and beer should be
contraband is absurd. Ii it is wrong to sell
one it is wrong to sell the other 1t is inst
possible that Mr.. Gilmore, who has genius
for advertising, means to advertise his
garden. This idea has occurred to us. and
we cannot help thinking that the police
could be in better business

Tho Assessment OF Clerks.

The fact that the clerks in the departments
are asked to pay certain sums to the republic
can committee for campaign purposes begins
to excite the democrats in Washington. We
hear there is to be committee ofinvestigation
and all manner Of inquiries and penalties.
There is good deal of can't about this in.
uuiry. Parties must be run like any other
business. Printing, advertising, music,
fireworks, halls light, all cost money, and
some one must pay it. 1t does not follow
that because money is spent on cleo
ticns it is used to bribe voters. This
country is too large and American voters
too independent for much to be done in the
bribery line. II it can be shown that clerks
md others are threatened with removal il
they do not subscribe, or permitted to annoy
the government as a reward for subscribing.
we can see how it would be matter for inves.
tigation Otherwise investigation will ba
waste of time When Mr.. Tilden was chair.
man of the democratic committee he did
not hesitate to take five thousand dollars
from Mr.. Tweed for the uses of the party.
Mr.. Tweed held office and paid to strengthen
his party. No one ever questioned the in
tegrity or even the propriety of Mr.. Tilden'a
accepting the assessment from Tweed. The
Washington clerks will not pay enough to
kill anybody. 1t is not their way.

Nrorton,s Niaiediction.

The apostle of the vermilion undergar-
ment has spoken at indianapolis with more
of the tone of demagogue than usual
Morton is transported with rage. He insists
that the morals of public officials under
Grant are no worse than they were under
Jackson, which is bad showing for jack
sons officials. He is worked up to high
pitch of indignation by the ia ct that Con-
gress refuses to permit the administration
to run the government honestly and econom-
ically. Mr.. Morton says that President
must have party and must stand by that
party, and he believes that the election of
Tilden would mean the third Bull Run.
Tilden, he says, would give the South
whatever it demands. 1t is within
Mr.. Mor!on's belief that while the demo-
cratic platform recognizes federal power the
pcrsonnel of the democratic party in
Congress is Of such n character rs
to warrant the supposition that it
is wholly secessionist and Confederate.
Tilden, in his estimation, would be the
President of the Confederate States, with
the prize fighter Morrissey for his principal
friend. Of Hendricks Mr.. Morton has no
other idea than that he is respectable in
small things, because he has succeeded in
dodging large ones and that he is Bu-
chanan democrat. or, what is tantamount, q
political coward. If Morton's indianapolis
speech were true Hendricks would appear as
a man who had great incentives and oppor-
tunities, but who chose 10 he as wicked as
the shadow of Shareholder politician. If
Hendricks were elected Vice President, with
the chance and the hope of succeeding Til
den, the debris of the rebellion, including
the captains of the Ku Klux Klans, would,
according to Mr.. Morton, lule the American
Confederate States.

The President.

In another column we present an interest
ing interview with President Grant, which
will speak for itself When so great a man
is in question why cannot we be fair to
him? All sorts of accusations have
been made against him. If he took
the money and houses given to him
by a grateful people for services that will
history he did what Marlborough did when
the Queen gave him rank, money and
estates; what Schomberg and Bentinck did
when William III. gave them wealth and
dignities; what the elder Pitt did when the
Duchess of Marlborough made him one of
her legatees; what Wellington did when the
nation gave him palace; what oil the mar
shals of Napoleon and all the generals of
Frederick did; what his comrades, Sherman
and Mcclellan, were not ashamed to do. If
the taking of presents under these circum-
stances is to be censured let the censure
fall upon others as we'll as upon Grant.
Judge Black threw out the impression
that the President has taken presents since
he entered the White House, and to such an
extent as to be as guilty of bribery as Bel
knap. He cited the case of Hoar and the
library which Hoar denied. He cited Ed
wards Pierrepont paying S20,00 But that
was an election contribution paid to the cam
paign fund in New York. We have seen no
evidence that the President has taken
honors or money or valuable presents since
he became President, and if any one has
such evidence it is duty to the public to
make it known. General Grant will soon
retire from public life. No journal has sup
ported him more earnestly than the HERALD
when right or censured him more severely
when wrong. He does many things we can
not approve. But his name will be one of
the great names in our history 1t will live
with Washington, Jackson and Lincoln
That cannot be taken from him. Why de-
grade o name that will be an example to our
children?

The Indian Question.

The hopeIessness of any action from Con-
gress on the Indian question throws the
whole responsibility on the President. Tho
Indian Ring is too strong for an assembly OF
easy virtue like our present Senate. The
House was willing to pass an act transferring
the Indians to the army, but the Senate
would not concur. That would be the end
OF the ring the end of department which
has kept the Indians in n state of constant
war, which has cost VS. five hundred mill
ions of dollars and brought dishonor upon
or national fame. Since Congress will not
act why should not the President? He has
power to direct the disbursements OF
oil moneys. He is now in military
occupation of the Indian country. He
can drive out every Indian agent In twenty.
four hours. An order to General Sheridan,
saying that the peace of the country de-
mands that the Indians should be under
stringent military rule, will end the ring.
We think it his duty to do so. These In
dian reservations and agencies as at present
managed are simply bases Of supplies for
Sitting Bull. hospitals for his wounded,
stations for recruits. When he wants arms
he sends to reservation. The money he
took from Clusters command is probably by
this time in the pockets of an Indian trader
who received it for ammunition. When
Sitting Bull has wounded or infirm old
men or women as impediments he sends
them to Red Cloud or Spotted Tail
for protection. Our Indian policy has
been to arm the Indians so as to mas
sacre our settlers, and then arm the
troops to massacre the Indians. The traders
supply each side, and the war is q profit to
them. When Sitting Bull wants recruits he
sends to the reservations. The young men
steal away at the first whisper Of war; The
old chiefs cannot control them. They seek
the war rs the tiger seeks blood. They ex-
pect to have good summers fighting, and
when over to come back to the reservation
and be good Indians and shake hands and
wait for the grass to come. The way to end
this is for Grant to order Sheridan to sup
press every reservation as now organized az
a base Of supplies for the enemy. 1t is his
duty as commander of the army to do SO,
and Sheridan is the man to do it.

The Wagner Festival.

The second performance at the festal the
a.re at Baireuth last evening proved to be a
more pronounced success than its predcces-
sor "Rheingold." being merely an intro
duction to the great musical drama of Wag-
ner. it could not be expected to possess the
same degree of interest as any one of the
trinity of operas that compose the Ring OF
the Nibelungen." Our special cable despatch
from Baireuth gives an account of the per-
formance of ''Die Walkiire" last night that
will be read with intense interest by every
musician. The selections from the score of
the work which we publish to-day Will also
furnish an excellent key to the proper un-
derstanding of the peculiar nature of the
music. Wagners followers, with their
intense dramatic zeal. may be now pre-
pared to shake countless laurels on his
head and to fight the more earnestly for the
new life in art. The realization of his life S
desire will be completed in two more even
incs, and. whatever the ultimate effect of his
theories on music and the drama may be in
the world of art, the four performances this
week at Baireuth will serve as an imperish-
able monument to his genius and self
reliance.

OFFICIAL CHANGES in British administra-
ton, it seems, are about to become as
frequent as have been the changes in Gen.
eral Grants Cabinet. A few weeks ago it
was announced that Lord Abercorn was
about to retire from the Lord Lieutenancy of
Ireland, and now we are told Lord Lytton
will not long retain the Governor General
ship of India, and it is even asserted that
Lord Beaconsfield will soon yield up the
premiership TO Lord Derby. Disraeli has all

his acceptance of a peerage can only be fifty

MIR. RASDAIL's SPEECH reviewing the work
of the House touching appropriations is the
most elaborate campaign document SO faI
launched upon the tides Of the canvass. In
this effort he makes the most OF his endeav-
ors to reduce expenditures, and tries to show
how zealously his committee and his party
in Congress labored to promote the best in
tcrests of the country. A speech Of this
kind at the close of o session of Congress ia
as unusual almost as General Grants Message
to the House yesterday but it will be read
with interest by men of al parties, and must
be regarded as an official summing up of the
facts upon which the democracy propose t.

GENERAL GRANT is becoming almost as
epigrammatic in his political messages to
Congress he was in his war bulletins. In a
Message to the House yesterday he told that
body that if it had been compulsory to spend
the money appropriated in the River and
Harbor bill he would have vetoed it. AS it
is, he will take care that none of it is spent
on useless works or on works not clearly
national. The Message is unusual in it's
character, but its political point is too keen
10 be overlooked.

The WEATHER rains and fog
prevailed in the Lower Missouri Valley and
on the Atlantic seaboard, and cloudiness,
with light rain, on the Gulf coast. The
winds have been exceedingly varied all over
the United States, the directions changing
within remarkably small areas. In the
Northwest a high pressure, with cool but
cloudy weather, prevailed last evening and
small rain areas in Dakota and Northern
Nebraska Eastward Of the Mississippi the
temperature increased, with rain areas on
the lower lakes and the Atlantic coast be-
tween Montauk Point and Cape May. The
mornings for the next two or three days at
New York will be foggy, and there will be
only q slight fall in temperature, while light
rains viii continue to fall along the coast in
our immediate vicinity until the end of the
week. By Saturday next the weather will
become cooler and clearer. In the mean
time this city may be visited by thunder
storms that will approach the coast through
the Ohio Valley.

THE HAND AND WRIST of the right arm OF
the statue of Liberty which France is about
to erect in New York Harbor arrived yester-

when completed, is printed in another col

to republican America is not only singu-

both countries took part a century ago.
