REGULAR OPENING OF THE FREE BATHS Elk.
PEcTED TO-DAY.
For several weeks past the boys Of the city have
boon waiting, YEARLY waiting for the coming OF the
floating free baths which generous act OF the Legs-
iature provided their accommodation. The unex-
pected advent OF hot weather the impatence OF
the boys all the greater and yesterday It fairly boiled
over. The baths anchored IN Gowanus Bay
during the winter but owing to the low OF the
water Il found impossible to move them mp to
tue city last week, in accordance with the pro-
gramme OF the Bureau OF Repairs and Supplies,
which has them In charge. The baths are

men and boys have IL all TO themselves for certain
days OF the week and the women and girls Tor other

multitude oil youngsters from PEARL Cherry, Baxter,
Front South, and all around the Fourth and Sixth
wards, one OF the public baths was towed up 70 tho
foot Of Gouverneur slip and anchored there To-
morrow afternoon there Is every likelihood II will be
thrown open TO the public free Of charge.

The WASTE OF WAR.--The history of the
world teaches how much easier IL is to begin
wars than to end them. We now witness the
beginning in earnest of fighting between Rus
STA and Turkey. No one can tell when it will
end. No one can say how many countries
will become Involved In the difficulties before
they are adjusted.
But il is safe to predict that this war must
be attended by impeachment and destruction to
peaceful industries by the diminution of
production by the waste and devastation,
and the consequent inordinate increase in de-
mand, that usually attend upon great vars
These tend to public impoyerishment. The
world, ON the whole, is made poorer. But for
the time being they may be in some respects
advantageous to this country, and may in.
crease the demand for several of our staples.
Should such advantages accrue, they will be
short-lived, aud at an expense of misery tc
other people,. The real and permanent pros
perity of this country must be brought about
by other means.

ExPoRTINo BEEF.-The enormous ship
ments of beef to Europe is working its own
cure and have depressed the prices abroad.
The Ledger says: We are not surprised to
hear that recent consignments of dressed
beef from Philadelphia to England have turn
ed out a loss, so that the trade bids fair to be
somewhat restricted in the future. The bust
ness has evidently been pushed to the point
of reaction, and this is not much to be regret
ted. Our own meat supply has gone up in
price, the great foreign demand urged as the
reason for the advance at home, the butchers
and droyers declaring that 1t is stripping the
country Of available CATTLE and thus forcing
higher prices. 1t is not certain whether these
foreign shipments really cause the advance or
whether they are avaiIed OF asa convenient
excuse but the same should be true of meats
as of grain. With the falling off Of the
foreign demand prices ought to decline, and
there is no reason why we should not buy
meat in this country as low as 1t can be
bought in England.

All accounts go to show that the Turkish
soldier has not degenerated from his ancestors,
who were the terror Of Europe in the fifteen
th century, For dash in a charge and for
obstinacy of resistance behind Entertainments,
the Turks of to-day are probably not surpass-
ed But, like all Oriental warriors, when re-
pulsed of confused by the loss Of commando
81, they soon become panic stricken.
Nor has the Turk lost any Of his ferocity.
at Damascus recently Turkish soldier went
into the bazaar 10 buy q sword. To try the
temper Of one he looked for some object
Just at that moment asJew happened to pass.
In the twinkle Of al eye, with a sweeping
blow, the soldier cut off the Jews head, as
clean as though done by the axe Of the execu-
tioner. Theu he coolly pronounced the weap-
on of good Steel paid the price, and went his
way. Such soldiers are apt to be as terrible
to the people whom they defend as to the en-
envy.

LAMBERTyHLE, N. b.:


Those who have not visited the nterna-
tional Exhibition since the opening day, when
100, 900 people were present, would scarcely
know it now. The vacant spaces have been
filed with handsome showcases containing a
great variety of interesting exhibits, and the
Exhibition Building presents quite as brilli-
ant and varied a scene as at this time last
Summer. Indeed, the variety is far greater,
since along with magnificent collection of
the classes of goods then displayed in the
Main Hail, are now to be seen many splendid
specimens Of painting, statuary, and photog-
rapby, besides machinery, agricultural imple-
ments, the glass works, and other things Of
interest which were necessarily scattered
through several buildings in the Centennial
Exhibition. This concentration, under one
immense roof, of curious and wonderful arr
ticles from all parts OF the world and belong
ing to every department of art and industry,
renders the Permanent Exhibition particular
" attractive, and the work of studying it
comparatively easy and pleasant.

COURT DECISION a decision Of the
Supreme Court, by Judge Depue, upon the
subject Of the taxation of national banks, he
recitcd various acts of Congress, and said
By these acts the stock owned by persons
not residents of this State is taxable in the
township or ward where the bank is located,
and that owned by residents of this State is
taxable in the townships or wards whore the
owners respectively reside. The stock owned
by non residents of the State was lawfully
taxed in the ward where the banking house
is located. With respect to the stock owned
by persons residing in the city of Newark it
was taxable to them in the city.

resolutions says 6 Some forms Of this amuse-
rhent are more mischieyous than Others, the
round dance than the square, the public ball
than the private party, but none of them are
good, bnt all are evil and should be discoun-

Christian parents not to send their children to
dancing schools where they acquire fondness
and an aptitude for the dangerous amuse-
ment.

EXECUTION OF GUIDRY.

Jules Guidry has suffered the extreme pen
atty of the law for the murder Of John Beale.
The circumstances Of the case the respect
able social position Of the accused, and the
plea set up by him for the homicide he COM
mitted had, at first, excited some sympathy
and commiseration for his fate, and sub
iected our Governor to severe test Of his
frmness and sense of official and public duty.
The strong and pervading sentiment of our
Southern people, which iustifies and demands
of every man of honor the Staying of the man
who dishonors his name his wife and his
children, and invades the sacredness of his
domestic circle had been invoked and enlisted
In behalf Of the communication of the sentence Of
Guidry. Gov. Nichols was beset by petitions
and appeals of this character from gentle
men who were entitled to much consideration.
Calmly listening to these appeals, his invari-
able reply was that verdict of the jury had
been rendered on a fair trial. and the accused
had had the benefit of all the pleas and testi-
mony which were now presented to him. He
could find nothing in any testimony, since ex-
hibited, to make him doubt the justice and
honesty Of their verdict On the contrary, all
that had been shown to him went to confirm the
up for Guidry These proofs and circum-
stances, known to the Governor, and which
convinced him Of the justice of the iury's YER
dict, were probably not presented to those
who addressed the appeals in Guidrys be-
half. 1t was most dsagreeable duty Gov
Nichols had to perform, but he could not evade
or shrink from its performance, He would not
withdraw his signature from the death-war-
rant Of Guidry, and SO that warrant was yes
terday executed. And sorrowfully as we may
contemplate this terrible and dishonoring fate
ola young man, perhaps of some good qualities
and most respectable family connections
as we sympathize in the humiliation
and misery his untimely end may bring upon
his innocent family, relatives and friends, we
cannot withhold our commentator Of Gov.
Nichols for his resolute and firm determine
ton to see justice done in this case, and for
the care he has taken to thoroughly investi- |
gate the whole matter before he decided to
deny the appeal for Communication presented
by Guidry's friends.

HOW PROPERTY SHOULD BE AS
AESSED.

Editor Democrat Reading your valuable
paper of the 21st inst, I was struck with an
article relative to the assessments in this city,
in which I find the following reflections !:
These CONVERSATIONS are numerous and in
volve questions of a vexatious and embarass-
ing character. The truth is that the stand
ard and rules for assessing property in this
city, are exceedingly difficult to determine"
Now, Mr.. Editor, it strikes me that if our as
SCISSORS instead Of resorting to arbitrary or
fanciful standards of value, would simply
follow the letter and spirit of the law, they
would find it simple enough The law of 1877,
p. 1879, sec. Is, provides: THAT all real and
personal estate, subject to taxation shall be
estimated by the assessor at it's cash value
and in case of doubt, or at the demand Of the
owner, the assessor shall be required to call
to his assistance two taxpayers, etc." in
other words two experts. It is self evident,
that the assessors have not followed out the
