It will be a consolation 90 bousckccpers to
know that the rumor OF an advance IN the prce
Of zee was unIomded. The consolation may be
the more acceptable since the price of coal has
unqacstionaby risen.
There are signs of increased activity in the
Eastern War. Austria has decided to mobilize
her army. The Russians have so far recovered
from their checl; in Asia that the march to-
ward Erzerum is again undertaken. south Of
tine Balkans the Turks are masslng Their forces
near joni Saghra. There is certainly a pros
pect of decisive battles within q short time
probably q few days.
Gen. Howard is reported rs aI~,t 20 con-
ccntfate an unusually lSrgo force for ms IN
dian campaign. With 1000 ve0 uncer hls
command he woull De able TO maze short work
with the enemy. But against such u body Of
troops il is hot likely that the Indians will at
tempt battle, aud there seems reason for hoping
that the campaign viii DC bloOdless yet CT
fec'ull.
The list Of employers that have discharged
clerks for absence while serving in The Ma
tional Guard, seems 10 have been more eAocn-
siye than vas at first supposed The particu-
lars OF some OF these cases are related in our
local columns EmploJ ers who have been
guilty of this meanness shall not want pubiici-
~ and where the fact i, verified their names
will not soon be forgotten by our citizens.
Mr.. Yauderbilts order, directing the diyi-
sion of 800, coo among the employees Of the
n. y. Central and hudson River Railroad, is
q handsome recognition Of their fidelity dur
ing the recent strikes. Even the men who
still believe in the policy OF striking and not
ing will probably admit that it Is better 70
share in this money and the kindly comp.i-
merts that 10 with it, than TO be IN jail awai,-
ing trial.
Harlem Flats have bred feyers ever since
their vicinity was built upon; and, growing
gradually worse, they have for score Of years
been a public nuisance. The report OF the
BOARD of Health shows that this Nuisance can
be abatcd. The remedy lies with the Board
of Pubic Works. No great engineering work
is required simply tie c2.enson OF sewer
and certain amount of dredging and filling.
Delay in this matter is neither pleasant nor
profitable.
Stealing timber on the public lands had been
going on so long that il acquired somewhat me
character Of a regular business, ana Kept many
,aw-mills and several vessels busy. NO doubt
the seizure Of the stolen timber by our Gov
ernment seems, 10 the saw-ml owners Ike
ON invasion Of their vested rights. The lesson
comes late and VIII be felt all the more Sc
yerely; but unless it is followed up by a bet
