Explosives in the city.

The Fire Commissioners want the Park
Commissioners to permit them to blow up
the people while they, the said pc ople, are
out for holiday or few hours recreation
in any one OF the public places called parks,
and the Park Commissioners are obstructive
about it. 1t is necessary to have some place
of deposit for explosive material that may
be available at any hour in arresting
great fire in the city by blowing down few
houses in the path of confagration. and
the Commissioners, whose duty it is to
have such material properly located, have
no money to purchase real estate with. and
demand that the Park Commissioners
should assign to them some corner in any
piece of real estate that the city already
owns. This seems to us very reas enable,
and we are astonished that there should be
any difficulty about it. Why not assign
them part of the City Hall? It is IN edi-
fee somewhat uselessly occupied as it is
by explosive material which never goes off
to any good purpose. There is plenty of
storage room in it, and if it should happen.
that ton or two of nitro-glycerine should
explode within it's walls while the Alder
men are in session and the Mayor is at Sara
toga there would be q chance for some spicy
obituaries and for the most beautiful con-
tracts for public building ever made since
the new Court House was begun. BY all
means give them the City Hall.

Attention was divided last night between
the total eclipse of our satellite and the
planet Mars with his little family. That
the moon came out of her trouble all right
was apparent to those who enjoyed her glo-
rious light after eight o'clock p. NJ, and
they were many, for the temperature in
doors suggested promenade in the cooler
outer air. OF course New York watched the
eclipse, or rather what was left of it,
when the moon rose above our horizon, and
various comments, sage and silly, were
passed on the event But in spite of the
interest attaching to the emergence of the
moon from the earths shadow, as the scien-
titic insisted on calling it, the eyes of
thousands, like the eyes of Delaware, were
bent on Mars in the vain hope of getting
a glimpse of the youngsters. 1t really
seems ridiculous to associate Mars with
the nursery, but then the thing is q fact,
as Professor Hall solemnly assures us, and
though Mars may blush blood red and look
more fiery than ever people will gaze in his
direction. Now the question is mooted in
astronomical coteries whether these little
fellows will be reared on the bottle OF other
wise They may possibly be sent to farm
house in the Milky Way, which is the
Orange county of the celestial regions. Our
descriptions of the eclipse printed else
where contain the. fullest information re-
speeding that interesting event

FOO much credit cannot be given to the
members Of the American rifle team for the
grand results in craftsmanship which they
achieved during the recent competitive prac-
tice for places. The skill displayed by the
selected men is something marvellous, and
gives promise of q glorious victory at Creed
moor during the coming month. But we
would be glad if the honorable rivalry
which resulted in sthe selection of the
team according to the test of merit should
now give place to q cooperative effort to
raise the efficiency Of all the members to
common standard of excellence. 1t may be
gratifying to the best marksmen to head the
score list after every days practice, and the
effort to attain this pre-eminence may
conduce to individual improvement, but
we must point out that there are
no longer individuals on the team, and that
it is the team as whole that is to defend
our Centennial trophy against the British
competitors. The object should now be, by
judicious system OF coaching and cooper
alton, to raise the weakest member of the
team and reserve to the same level as the
strongest. Full scores at all the ranges by
two members of the team will not cover the
losses caused by breakdown by two Others
Individualism must, therefore, be set aside
altogether, and the team, as whole
brought up to the butts with as near an
equality of skill among its members as pos
sible. We do not believe there is the least
rivalry among the members of our team be-
yond that very natural one born of desire
to excel. But this feeling must be sup
pressed in the interest of the common good.
Therefore, gentlemen of the American team,
exchange notes on windage, elevation and
light freely. Let no member see his colleague
throw away shot, even in practice, for want
of little hint that may help him to make
bull's-eye
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-08-24

As we indicated in recent articles on the
military situation in Bulgaria, it became
a question as to which would move
first, the Russians or the Turks. Now the
latter under pressure from Constantinople,
have Numbered into taking the initiative,
and are dashing themselves at all points
against the Russian positions Thus we
learn that they have attacked Tirnova and
have been repulsed with heavy loss. They
have made ten determined assaults on the
intrenchments in the Shipka Pass and have
been as many times driven back with slaugh-
ter Another attack by Osman Pacha has
been made on Se1vi, but without success.
In the direction of Eski Djuma the Turks
claim victory, but it is evident that the
fight was only an unimportant affair Of out
posts. There is, in fact, a general Turkish
advance, and we are prepared to hear
of many battles along the whole line
from Plevna to Rasgrad during the next
few days. Fighting has been resumed in
Montenegro and Crete is in instruction.
Greece is sending her advanced bodies of
volunteers across the frontier and a fight
is reported to have taken place at Larissa
The most important statement, however,
that reaches us is denial that Suleiman
Pacha has joined forces with Mehemet Ali.
If this proves to be true the probabilities of
O Turkish defeat west Of Osman Bazaar are
increased. Servia continues to talk loudly
but remains inactive just at the moment
when the addition of her forces to those of
the Christian hosts might turn the tide of
battle against the Turk.

A Pleasing Outlook.

One of the best evidences of returning
prosperity that a country long weighted by
debt and discouraged by business depres-
sion can exhibit is in the decrease Of her
imports and the increase Of her exports.
The first indicates capacity for home pro-
duction that will satisfy wants that should
otherwise be supplied from foreign markets
and at loss to the consumer. The second
proves that for the abundant productions Of
the country there are markets in foreign
countries which always insure a ready and
profitable sale. Hence when what is termed
the balance of trade is in favor of q country
the gold flow tends toward her and renders
her people rich and prosperous. Such is
the pleasing outlook for the United States
to-day, as we find by glancing over the
trade statistics for the past three years. In
1875, ending June 30, we find that the total
specie value Of the imports of the United
States amounted to $685. 9O6, 1853. In 1876
the figures were s476, 677, s71, and in 1877
1892, OS1, 1868. There is therefore clear re-
duction between 1876 and 1877 of over
SCI, 100000 payable to foreign producers.
The increase during 1877 over 1876
of S15,0OO,OOO is probably due to
the extensive introduction Of foreign
goods during the Centennial encouraged by
the impression produced on visitors to the
great worlds fair by the elegant displays of
other countries. But the falling off Of i'm
portation is so decided that even the excep-
tional transactions of 1867 can be over
looked.
Now, with regard to our exports we find
that the increase in value is almost exactly
equal to the decrease of import values. The
aggregates for 1875, 1876 and 1877, to
June 80 in each year, are $G05, 574, S53,
$500, S9O973 and $65S, $751; 723, respectively.
These aggregates include what are termed
foreign exports, but these rarely exceed
$25, 900, 900 in value, and have varied only
slightly during the three years. The in
crease has taken place in domestic exports,
merchandise, &C., not including gold. A
reduction of nearly fifty per cent has oc-
Cured since 1876 in our specie exports, so
that we pay less money for foreign goods,
we sell more of our own, and the flow of
gold, which so long set against us, has now
turned in our favor. In few years, with
our present prospects, there ought to be a
glut of gold in this country, for by no trade
process can we get rid of it. Even to-day
our specie imports equal our specie exports.
