When we consider that two great armies
are face to face and within striking distance
Of each other in Bulgaria, it is not a little
surprising that the news from the seat OF
war should be SO meagre. Under the cir
cumstances, however, great battle cannot
be long delayed, for the Russians cannot
afford to remain inactive after their recent
reverses. The Sultan has summoned all
the faithful to arms and evidently means to
make o stubborn defence of his European
territory. Whether the finances of the OF
toman Empire can stand the strain remains
to be seem In reality this war is being fought
on credit, for both the belhgerents are only
increasing the debts that already press so
severely upon them. General Gourkha has
been sent to st. Petersburg to command the
Imperial Guard, which is about to be sent to
the front. That such capable leader
should be withdrawn from the field just
now, when his services are most needed,
suggests the idea that his recent dash over
the Balkans may have inspired jealousy in
the more influential commanders, and that
the gallant Gourkha has been 'rusticated."
Rustchuk is no longer pressed by siege OPP
erations, but is still observed" by a strong
force. The Greeks appear to be growing
quite enthusiastic in favor Of war, and
volunteers are focking to Athens from
distant places to join the army. The
Prince of Montenegro is again forced to raise
the siege Of Nicsics in order to defend his
frontier. Probably this hungry town will
be again revictualled during his absence.
The news from Armenia is conflicting
but as it comes exclusively from Turkish
sources cannot be regarded as at all reliable.
So we must wait patiently until both sides
get ready to do something and the bashi-
bazouks can be employed in more useful
work than numbering Bulgarian villagers

New Jersey Politics.

New Jersey elects Governor in Novem-
Der, and the politicians Of both parties are
in o state of uneasiness about candidates.
They feel pretty sure from old experience
that if either side dominates an unfit man
the people will 60 against him. New Jer-
sey has had o long. line of Governors all
respectable and most Of them able men,
and bad nomination to this Office has
more than once lost party the election.
Just now neither party has any candidate
conspicuously tit for the place, though there
is no lack Of respectable names. On the
republican side faction would like to
nominate Mr.. Blaine's friend Robson; but
they dare not. feeling pretty certain that he
would be badly beaten. Mr.. CORTLAND
Parker is spoken of, but it is doubtful
whether he would accept the nomination
and very doubtful whether he could carry
the State. There are several other candi-
dates, but we do not hear any one mention
the name Of ex-senator Frelinghuysen He
would be very respectable candidate, and
could, no doubt, be elected if the democrats
should make bad nomination, which just
now seems not improbable
On the democratic side Senator McPher-
son is said to be trying to build up party
for himself in the State, and Mr.. Leon Abb
bett is mentioned as his candidate for Gov
ernor. If Mr.. Albeit should receive the
democratic nomination the republicans
could probably carry the State if they
should nominate q mMn like CORTLAND Par
ker OF ex-senator Frelinghuysen. Other
democratic candidates are Joel Parker,
ex-senator Stockton and Judge Teese.
The State is uncertain, and we advise
both parties to put forward good men.
Neither side can afford to throw away
chances. With good nominations the demo-
Gratis have rather the best chance Of carrying
the State, but they have nothing to spare,
and it is not good year for them to take
risks or to count upon the republicans
making blunder In fact, New jersey
politics are in that happy condition where
the people and not the politicians control,
and where the political managers, therefore,
are apt to be on their best behavior.

The Long Island Savings Bank.

We RETAINED from commenting yesterday
on the statements of the officers Of the Long
Island Bank made on Wednesday, because
full report of the condition of the bank
was promised, and we preferred to wait for
that in the hope that it might prove salts
factory. A supplemental explanation.
from the counsel for the bank, however,
indicates that there is to be no further pub
LEGATION Of the banks actual condition, and
claims to dispose Of the ''only points of diff
ference between the May report made by
Examiner Reid and the sworn January re-
port Of the bank officers We therefore
desire to point out to the counsel for the
bank and its secretary, General Fowler,
wherein we regard their explanations as un-
satisfactory.
One point of difference in the reports of
the bank officers and Mr.. Reid, the examiner,
is as to the value of the bank building,
which is put in as an asset The bank
schedules it at $3.50, 600; Mr.. Reid at only
s2O7, 0O0 General Fowler says to the Brook
lyn Eagle, ''We have estimated it ut $3.50, 900
year after year and it has not been ques-
toned 1t cost $207, 000 and we really
think it worth $3.50, 0O0 but we put it in at
$3.50, 0O0.' Is General Fowler ignorant of the
tact that the law requires the real estate
owned by savings bank to be scheduled
among its assets at it's actual cost? Does he
not know that in the statement he made
last January are the words banking house
and lot at COST" and that as he admits
the cost to have been $207, 900 he had no
right to incorrectly state it at $3.50, 900? In
this item it is clear that the bank officers
were wrong and the official examiner cor
rect. In explanation of the fact that the
bank had on hand on January J., 1877,
sA, 200, and on January l, 1876, about the
same amount, while 1t had only $4,000 in
Nav, 1876, tho officers state that there is
always greater amount OF cash on hand in
the early part of the year than in May. We
accept the explanation, although it has been
the practice of some banks to swell this
convenient item at the time of making nm
annual report for the purpose of increasing
its apparent assets.

Nowhere in the whole country have they
given hearty support to the Southern
policy; and yet that policy has brought
peace and good will to the country, and is
even accepted by the colored people in the
South as the best for them. Everywhere the
republican leaders grumble at and oppose
the Presidents efforts to reform and purify
the civil service; and yet the people know
that such publication is absolutely neces-
sary to the security of our institutions.
Nowhere have the republican leaders this
summer shown capacity or even a wish to
grasp and deal with the problems forced
upon the public attention by the universal
distress and prostration of industry. Their
whole attitude toward the country is that
of demagogues, and they deserve defeat and
do not deserve that the Presidents policy
should rescue them from it anywhere.
The proposition, therefore, that if they
are beaten they will hold the President re-
man should threaten to sue the man who
plunged In to save him. II anywhere this
fall the republicans escape defeat they will
have to thank for it Messrs. Evarts, Schurz
and Key, and the President who called these
gentlemen to his Cabinet and who has
known enough to take their advice The
notion of demanding their dismissal is abb
surd. It would not be tolerated by the
country, and the fact that such project is
seriously entertained, and in fact has been
determined on by the republican leaders.
will. we believe, help to defeat them this
fall, because it will convince the voters that
it is not safe to trust such men any longer

THE WEArHER.-The depression with its at
tendant rain area has moved northeastward
very slowly and now extends over the New Eng
land and Nova Scotia COASTS and the Upper Mid
die States. The rains extended from the central
Ohio Valley to the northeast coast and to New
foundland, the heaviest fall being along the
Atlantic coast and in tho lower lake region
Another depression is developing in Dakota,
with light rains and brisk winds, but the indi-
cations are that it will not prove very great
disturbance. The highest pressure is now in the
Southwest and South, where northwestcrly to
southwesterly winds prevail Along the Atlantic
coast the winds southwestcrly to south
easterly, aud in the Canadian districts generally
oortheasterly to northerly. Heavy northeast
winds have prevailed for some days at Quebec.
The temperature Is relatively low in the lake re-
giou, Middle and Eastern States and Canada.
1t has risen in the Northwest and West and is
stationary in theSouthern districts. The weather
In New York to-day will b. warm and partly

The lamps on Park avenue have not been

ance and inconvenience of the residents
The President of the Park Department has
been appealed to Tor relief but he has no
appropriation for lighting the lamps, and
insists, furthermore, that it should be done
by the Gas Commission. The latter, how
ever, contends that as the management and
control of the parks are in the hands of the
Park Commissioners the lighting of the
lamps is portion of their duty. Mean
while the residents Of Park avenue are left
that the whole lighting OF the city, whether
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-08-17

in streets, avenues, parks, squares or ON
docks, should be done by the authorities
empowered to contract with the gas CON-
panies. 1t is absurd to require different
departments to light different portions Of
the city. The gas is supplied by contract,
and one contract should cover all lamps,
whether inside or outside the limits of q
park. Otherwise we should have all manner
of contracts, one department paying one
price and another paying another price.
Park avenue should be lighted and the
danger and annoyance be removed at once,
and the lighting should be done by what
ever authority is empowered to contract for
gas for the public lamps Of the city.

THE PANsY.
BY H. w.

Sweet flower, what makes thee seem so glad
While hearts about thee feel so sad?
Dost thou not grow aweary?
Or hast thou aught in life e'er had
To make it seem adreary?
Thy winsome smile doth ever beam,
In joys forever thou dost seem,
Ever so bright and CHEEKY;
Thy sunny life seems like a dream
And wilt thou solve my querye
What is the secret of thy joy,
Which naught on earth seems TO destroy;
Though other lives are blighted,
And my sad soul canst thou decoy
From realms so much benignted?
For surely thy sweet face was wrought
When nature chanced a happy thought,
1t ever is so smiling;
And truly joy thou must have taught,
Thy smile is so beguiling.
Then pray, sweet flower, with face so fair,
And features soft beyond compare,
What is thy gift so holy,
Allowing thee without a care
To live in pleasure solely?
In thy sweet face one surely sees
That fate's command can only please,
Thou feelest no resentment;
The answer softly caught the breeze
'My secret is contentment."
