Judge Hilton, of New York, has
raised q great commotion by or
dering that all jews be excluded
from the grand Union Hotel, Sara
toga, which is q part of the A. T.
Stewart estate. The first victim of
the Judges order was Joseph Sell
igman, Q wealthy banker of New
York, and he wrote the Judge a We
ry sarcastic letter which has been
printed, but to which and all pro.
tests the Judge refuses to reply ex-
cept to say that he is running the
hotel and that he don't think Jews
are entitled to put MP at first-class
Christian houses. The Judge is We
ry much like the sailor who, when
on shore and half drunk, rolled in .
to . revival meeting to see what the
row was, and after listening atten-
lively for about half an hour sailed
out and knocked down the first
black bearded and hook nosed per-
SON he met, and when asked why
he so ferociOusly assaulted an en-
tire stranger replied that the rascal
was . jew and had crucilied the
Savior. "But that was two thous-
and years ago, said . by-stander.
"Damn the odds, replied the sail
or, eve only just heard about it. ,
Judge Hilton must have been to
hear Moody and Sankey lately. We
give 1T as our deliberate opinion
that Hilton is . fool aud DOM

JUNE 19.-Another desperate bat
tie between the Turks and Monte
negrins occurred on the 10th, al
PIana, in Montenegro. 10000 Turks
attacked the Montenegrins, who
had fortified we'll chosen position,
and made four successive assaults,
but were repulsed each time. The
last assault was very destr uctive
and the Turks broke and fed, pur-
sud by their enemies, who killed
1900 Turks and suffered but slight
loss themselves.
JUNE 22.-The Russian army final
~ began to cross the Danube on the
22d, without any serious opposition
from the Turks. The crossing took
place in two places at Gaiatz, and
Ibrail. They crossed on pontoon
bridges, made of RATS which had
been constructed in great numbers
along the Roumanian side of the
river, and were suddenly floated
out, fastened together, and anchor
ed as they were swung iato line
by the current. The reason why the
Turks allowed the crossing to take
place without resistance is not yet
known.
The English ministry have asked
parliament for ten millions of
pounds for an extraordinary emer-
gency, and great fears are entertain
ed that England will soon take part
in the war, in aid OF Turkey.
The Turks have driven the insur-
gents from Ostrok and now occupy
all the strategic positions in Monte
negro, and the campaign is consId-
cred as closed. This lets $1,000
Turks loose 10 fight the Russians.
1t is supposed that England will
send large army to Egypt, to pro-
tect the Suez canal, and to be near
the seat of war in case interference
is deemed necessary.
JUNE pa COnstantinople dis
patch says a battle has been going
on all day at Talsre Chiva, near
ErZeroum, between tho main force
of the Turkish army under Muhk-
tar Pasha and the Russians. Result
unknown.
The Turks are placing a COM
plete net work of torpedOes at the
ROsphorus entrance into the Black
Sea.
Russia has bought the gigantic
Krupp gun which was exhibited at
the Philadelphia Continual, and the
steamer carrying it grounded on
the 23d near the island of Oassel,
somewhere in some ocean.
Suleiman Pasha's and Ali Saib's
armies, numbering in all 10000 men,
have finally effected junction in
Montenegro, and are marching on
to Cittinji.
The Russians burned the military
hospital st Ardahan, and 800 in
mates perished in the flames.
Terrible outrages on the Christ
ians and Armenisns by the Turks
and Russians,a are reported from Tur-
kish Asia. Russian reports claim
that several soldiers of one battalion
having outraged women in one
town. the whole battalion was, by
order ofthe Russian general, ordered
out and shot.
June 25-The Russians continue
to cross the Danube at IbraiI.

A rather discouraging impression
is made by the exhibition, in the
daily papers of New York, of the
mortgage debts of the churches 10
that city. The total, as taken from
the books of the county register, is
81, 367, 1856, divided among the de-
nominations as follows: Presbyte-
rian, 100000; Reformed, $644, 900 !;
Protestant Episcopal, $4,000; Ro-
man Catholic, $229,0C0 Baptist,
$4,000; Methodist, $4,000; Lu-
theran, $4,000. Some of the debts
of single churches are very heavy.
The Church of the Heavenly Rest
carries S137,OO the Memorial Pres
byterian, $4,000. These debts have
been incurred in the erection of
new edifices, and show the costli-
ness of churcn-building in that city.
They also show the over-reaching
pride of modern christianity, which,
according to the teachings of the
preachers, is net in accordance with
the spirit manifested by the Master
while on earth.

The telegraph reports lively
family episode which occurred on
the 10th at Pittsburg, Pa. Robert
Richter, aged 40, clerk in the quar-
ter-master Generals office, remark
ed to the wife of his bosom that elf
you don't keep your kittens out of
the garden l will kill them" She
replied, "If you do will tear up
all your tomato vines" Richter be-
gan to beat the cat, and Mrs. Rich
ter began to tear up the vines, and
the cat began to sQuall, and the
vines began to fly, and Richter drew
a revolver, and exclaimed, "You

The New York Sun comes to the
defence of the foaming lager, and
cOngratulates the public upon the
fact that beer was supplanting whis-
ky as the National American bev-
erage. We agree with the Sun that
lager beer is doing an immense
amount of good. We have long
considered it the great temperance
apostle of the age, and believe that
it is doing more to eradicate the
evil Of intemperance in the United
States, than all other agencies to-
gether, and have never been able to
understand why those good people
who are really in earnest in their
temperance efforts will not recog-
nize the fact that lager beer might
be made their ablest ally in the war
upon whisky, for if they desire to
prevent whisky drinking one of
the very best ways to do 1t is to en-
courage beer drinking Leaven-
worth Times.
Then let us organize a tenn
perance party especially pledged to
drink all the lager beer its mem-
bers can swallow?

Heat In California.

oL. LOUIS hopuOHcans
A spell of unusually hot weather
that prevailed in California week
before last reminds Ms that the
weather at times is hotter in certain
localities in that state than any
where else on the continent. The
month of June rarely passes with
out bringing the mercury in Their
mOmeters at Sacramento, Stockton.
Marysville, Davisville and other
valley towns up to 100 and log de-
grees Fahrenheit, and sometimes
up to los degrees. AS q rule the
lowest summer temperature is
found along the coast line where
the suns rays are cooled by the
winds from the west and northwest,
and the highest in the foothills at
attitudes ranging from 500 to 1,5O0
feet above the Sea level. Some To-
calities are afflicted with q degree
of heat that people living in other
parts of the United States can have
no conception of. At Knights Fer
~, on the Stanislaus river IN Stan
islaus county, where q perpendicu-
lar cliff of cement and gravel re.
fleets the suns rays back on the
town, the mercury reaches 40 and
LIZ degrees in the shade. In San
Bernsrdino andat the eastern parts of
Los Angeles and Santa Barbara
counties the mercury once indica-
ted temperature of 133 degrees.
Cattle persisted in the fields, and
the birds dropped dead from the
trees before the scOrching blast
At the same time in the towns along
the old Placer belt, from the Mokel-
umne river to the MERGED, east of
Table mountain range the temper
ature was LIT to 119 degrees in
the shade. This was in 1859, the
hottest summer remembered in
California. The present June is
hottest known since that year. the
excessive heat being cansed, strange
~ enough, by q north wind, aggra-
waited by the unusual dFyness OF the
country.

Judge Kelly, who has been driving
and riding with President Hayes,
says, and we have no doubt cor
rectly, that the president favors the
vigorous enforcement of the resum-
ptiOn act to the full letter of the law,
and will aid Secretary Sherman's
efforts to carry it out" The only
point on which the President is
supposed to be undecided is wheth-
er or not silver should be remone-
tized and made full legal tender for
all debts, and On this point reports
differ, and he has really made no
definite expression of his Views.

The Universal Peace Union hell

The Universal Peace Union held
g meeting in New York last week,
aud the proceedings developed the
fact that in 1873 % per cent. of the
expenditures of France were for
military uses; of Russia, 81 per
cent. of Great Britain, 81 per cent. /;
of the United States, % per cent.
In England the expenditures for ed
ucation were per cent. Europe
has spent this year over 500, OO0,O 600
In war preparations, and will spend
altogether this year over 81, OC0, Co.,
600, while 100000 men are kept
under arms waiting to march.
This is q beautiful commentary on
modern civilization and Christianity.

Gen. Grants Foreign Tour

The Chicago Times has found out
what it ali means. It says:
This European tour Is a part of
the programme for bringing ont
Grant as the Republican candidate
four years hence. Its details were
thought of long in advance. Badeau
and PierrepOnt were just the men
to take charge of the flunky part of
the business in England, and they
deserve credit for the efficiency
with which they have discharged
their allotted tasks. From the Brit
ish islands the hero of Vicksburg
will go to the continent, and his tri-
umphal march will proceed from
court to court, the celebration in
England leaving the other Europe
an powers ne choice. The story of
his royal progress will be chroni-
cled day by day, and the national
American vanity thus petted and
flattered until the personality OF
Mr.. Grant shall appear to have be-
come insolubly united with the at
traction of American power, glory
and fame. He will stay abroad
nearly three years; the Nicaraguau
canal project will be convenient to
haYe IS Grant magnifier when
nothing else is convenient; and be-
fore his return to the United States
a series of ovations" will have
been arranged for him like sue
cession of Fourths of July. He
will be nominated in the Radical
convention with 9 whoop and huz-
"a, and there will not even be time
for Bob Ingersoll to get the bel
lows blowing on another flaming
forge speech.
And il he is nominated will he
not make a very formidable candi-
date for the Democracy to beat ?
They had better begin looking up
their best men.

We see it stated that Judge Dill

ing James L. Mcdowell and others
from the judgement against them
in the celebrated Brown cOnfisca-
ton case, the judgment not being
just. This is the case in which
Gov. Osborn was involved, and we
presume the decision relieves him

IL is quite likely that the first re-
ports from the scene of the Indian
disturbances in Idaho were exagger-
ated. Nevertheless, 1t is evident that
the difficulty is serious. The tribes
at war with the whites are the Nez
Perces, Ceur d'Alenes, Palouses,
and Spokane Flatheads. The first
two of these bands are on reserva-
tons in the northern part of the
Territory, and are subject to treat
les with the United States. The
others are wandering Indians, sub
sisting by fishing and hunting. The
treaty Indians, however, have not
been strickly confined to their res
ervations, but have been free to go
where they pleased in pursuit of
their precarious livelihood. All of
these, including the Flatheads, w hose
main body is nominally confined to
a reservation east of the Bitter Root
mountains, have usually been re-
garded as peacesble, though idle
and worthless people. They are
formidable foes when aroused, and
it is apparent that they have had a
difficulty with the white settlers
which has been expanded into q
general war. The settlers are not
prepared for q fight; the military
force in the department is small
