1t can hardly be said that the Indian wars
ever come to an end. The pauses between
them for refreshment and recreation at the
expense of the Government, are like the waits
between the acts at theatre. News now
comes that LOO Sioux, who were on their
way from the Red Cloud Agency to the Mis-
souri, River, have broken away from their
companions. and are on the warpath in the
Black Hills country. This means another war,
and Winter campaign.

people would be shocked TO learn that any furtbor

who do no labor, and even inquring where tbs

Figures which are as nearly correct as
unofficial figures can be, show that Mr..
Allen c. Beach received a smaller num-
Der of votes than any other candidate
on the Democratic State ticket--a flattering
showing for the candidate who stood at the
head. His plurality is also the lowest being
just 24.S2O less than Mr.. Olcotts. Mr. Beach
is a candidate who imparts strength TO the
ticket on the other side and the Republicans
should at once take measures TO see that he
secures the next Democratic nomination for
Governor, which is understood to be the object
Of his ambition.

A further exposure of affairs in the New
Rochelle Savings Bank shows that, for a long
period, its secretary has been Systematically
stealing the funds. His process was very SIM
pie; it consisted chiefly in putting into
his own pockets the cash that was de-
posted; the only record of the deposits
being in the pass-books. This method
of fraud is not at all new in banking oxpe-
rience, and is one of the things that good
management always guards against Such
stealing cannot be carried on for length of
time unless the trustees are neglectful of their
duties, since a comparison between the pass
books and the ledger would at any time re-
veal it.

The interview given in another column with
a distinguished Louisiana Conservative, is I'M
portant, because of the revelations it makes of
the beliefs and expectations of the Democrats
1t is a voice from within their camp, and witbal
to notice how the Democrats regard the Louis
lana Commission as a mistake; how they be-
lieve there was a chance for Hayes party at
the South, but that the opportunity has been
lost; and how they count or using two or
three Senators to detach the President from
his party.

The attack Of the Turks on a Russian posi-
ton before Plevna may be a desperate effort
to show that the garrison has done its
best. Osman Pasha could hardly expect
to break through the lines of con-
tinuous trenches held by 10000 men,
provided with abundant supplies, and COM
mauded by such officers as Todlebon, GhourkO,
Skobeleff and Imeritinsky. The time when,
with aid from Western Bulgaria, he might
have tried to raise the siege with fair pros
poets of success, is past. The fall of Plevna
seems now as inevitable as was that of Metz
and Paris.

Now and then the reforming comes to a
stop, but the stealing, never. 1t is one of the
singular features of reform movements that
the thieves are often found afterwards to have
been calmly connecting and executing their
schemes at the very time when the fierce light
of exposure was beating all about them The
city of Troy, for instance, has just discovered
the existence of ring which Is supposed to
have stolen $4,000 in the last year alone,
by the familiar device of fictitious bills.
These fellows seem to have burrowcd so far
into the Troy treasury that the noise of the
downfall Of two great rings within a few
years did not reach their ears at all; and as
for the cry of Reform" which has grown 80
popular that each party tries ~ shout it the
loudcst, why, ten chances to one, these very
men did the heavy believing.

The announcement made elsewhere Of the
belief Of the Acting Bank Superintendent in
the complete sOlvency of the Union Dime
Savings Bank, is pleasant one. After what
the bank has gone through, no one will qucs-
ton the accuracy of this Judgment The
bank has been subjected to most
thorough investigation, protracted for months,
under Mr. Lambs personal direction, and has
come out of the fire well proved. 1t was subjected
TO severe run, which lasted several DAYS. The
verdict of Mr.. Best, the Special Examiner, will
put the bank out Of the reach of such dangers for
a long time to come. Putting every item so far as
possible at its actual value, he finds a surplus
of nearly $500, 900. and prospective annual
profit of $4,000. At the same time, he
recommends, and it is understood the Acting
Superintendent will require, a reorganization of
the Board of Trustees Some reasons for this step
are given in the report, and Mr.. Lambs careful
administration thus far gives assurance that
he does not make this demand except Oh good
grounds. The depositors, however. can rest
assured that their money is safe, aud that the

1t is evident that the award of the Fishery
Commission is regarded with uncOncem if not
dissatisfaction in England, where imperial inter
ests are invariably expected to override those %
the colonies. The British discomfort arises from
the great probability that the award will
form the germ of further contentious when
our ten years lease of the Canadian fisheries
expires Coming trouble is also dis
cerned in the doubts as to the validity
of the award md in the likelihood that
Canada will again try TO "trade"
her fisheries for commercial recipro-
city. 1t is natural that John Bull, who will
get none of the money, but must bear the
burden Of the entire transaction, should be
somewhat disinclined to have our friendly re-
latlons placed in jeopardy by it.

the carrying out Of reforms, in order to save
his kingdom from Acknowledgement, the FIVE
great powers conCurring in the guarantees.
The position Of affairs since the Franco.Ger-
man war Of 1870 has been highly favorable
to Russian designs on Turkey, which, by the
neutrality-suspicious. Of Servia and Roumania
and the practical independence Of Egypt, has
been much deprived Of her power. The re.
pudiation by the Gar Of the provisions Of
the Treaty Of Paris which kept his war ships
from the Euxine, showed tho animus Of Rus
STA, and there is little doubt that the Servian
war year ago was stirred up by her agents.
Though Turkey made peace with Servia last
March, Montenegro, whose Prince is PEN
sioner Of the Gar, was prevented by Musoo-
vite influence from coming to an amicable
settlement. The first attempt by European
powers 10 put stop to hostilities was The
armistice Of last autumn, Of which the pro
tOcol was tho result. This provided for thu
execution Of reforms by Turkey, whose con-
sent to an srmistice, not Of six weeks as pro.
posed by Russia, but Of six months, wal
pressed home upon Count Schouvalof, b.
Lord Derby, who warned Russia against tri
fling with English feeling in regard to Con
stantinople. The Porte finally accepted tn,
Russian proposal for an armistice Of six week
but the threats of the Cabinet Of st. Peters
burg as to the necessity of Turkeys carry
ing out her reforms speedily, was met by tn
defiant reply which has resulted in war. Tha
this has been brought about by the machina
nations of Russia is plain enough Her di
plomacy has outwitted England, while th
atrocities Of the Turks in Bulgaria hav
helped to divert the British people from th
contemplation of the probable results of tn
aggrandiziug policy of the cabinet Of s
Petersburg, which has thus far at least ha
practical mastery Of the situation.-BOstO

Political self-COntrOl in England and
America.

Ia England there is, we think, more dis
position to be carried away by impulse In the
moment OF peril than there is 10 tho United
States. In fact, Il is the most striking iea-
ture Of our political institutions that they
express and concentrate the waves Of popular
feeling-whiCh, indeed, they sometimes tend
70 exaggerate while 1t Is the most striking
feature Of the institutions Of the United
States that they repress and diss'pate the
waves Unpopular feeling-which, indeed, they
somewhat tend 10 underrate. And both ma.
tons appear TO have got the habit Of reaect-
ing, 10 certain extent, the tendency Of
their institutions. There is no doubt that
uppermost phase Of British feeling often as
sumes too imposing an air to spectators who
are not in any way behind the scenes, aud
that what the nation really thinks and wishes,
il appears TO think and wish with even moro
intensity aud unauimity than il really does,
The opposite thing happens 10 the United
States. The very fact that strong populaE
feeling is gaining marked asOendency there
seems to call out all the restraining and
self-repressiug power that the nation contains,
If we remember how long public feeling il
the north was in breaking down the consti.
tutional respect for the fugitive slave law

great are the forces, both constitutional an'
moral which seem TO hold back the America
people from anything like rash surrender u

THE news came on Saturday that the cab
met had decided to postpone the call for the
the extra session Of congress until the middle
Of October, and though unexpected, this
news will be to the general satisfaction of the
public. The following are some of the rea-
sons mentioned by the dispatch: First,
that the business interests of the country do
not warrant an extra session in June and
second, that the session may not be held in
hot weather. The truth is, however, aud il
is idle to ignore it, that the sole reason for
not calling congress together until October
is to give more time for the development Of
the presidents southern policy, and afford
the people of the country ample time to see
its practical workings. The president has
been advised that the southern men intended
to come here in June aud camor for addi-
tional legislation. This fact, coupled with
the readiness Of certain class Of republicans
to attack the administration. if any weak
spot become exposed, would lead to embar-
Arassment. BY postponing the session for a
lew months it was probable the political feel.
would cool down and congress would come
%gether in better frame of mind to deal
be pending matters of legislation. Oh
" republican senators in this city, all
ss qualification that the time has been
Aded, and the necessity of remaining
here through June and July averted."

The Best Vegetables to Plant.

April and May are the two busy months
in a well.mauaged vegetable garden. Dur
ing these months, the most important
work of the season has to be hurried through,
for planting time is short, and there are many
small matters that need prompt attention.
First Of all is the selection Of choice garden
seeds Of recent growth, aud such as will be
found true to name. The surest way is TO
select from each years crops n few Of the
best specimens OF the same to raise seed from.
For the rest, send to some responsible seed
merchant, and don't depend on the kind Of
stock found in small boxes in the country
grocery stores. As matter of reference for
those not familiar with the best sort Of veg
table seeds and plants, append the follow.
ing list naming two or three kinds Of each To
select from
Dwarf Beans-Early Valentin and Ref
ugee.
Pole Beans.-Large White Lima and
Horticultural Cranberry.
Beets.-Dark Red Egyptian aud Long
Smooth Blood.
Cabbage.-Jersey Wakefield (early), and
Premium Flat Dutch and Drumhead Savory

Cucumber.-White Spine and Long

Carrot.-Bliss' Improved Long Orange.
Corn.-Moore's Early and Stowell's Ever.

Cauliaower.-Early and Late Erfdrt.
Celery.-Dwarf Incompatible aud Boston

Egg Plant-ImproVed New York.
Lettues,-Ourled Silesia and Butter.
skmclon-Skillman's Fine Melted.
Mountain Sweet.
Onious.--W ethersfeld Red and White
Portugal.
Parsnips.-Long Smooth.
Peas.-Philadelph Extra Early, Carter
First Crop, Champion Of England, aud Whit
Marrowfat.
Peppers.-Large Square aud Dull.noso.
Radshes.-Turnip Scarlet, Long Scarlet
and White Spanish.
Squash.--Suulmer or Crookneck, Boston
Marrow aud Hubbard.
In this brief list will be found the leading
kinds grown both by the market and private
gardens near largo cities. With bush beans
peas and radishes, it is best to repeat thu
sowngs every TWO or three weeks until thu
middle Of June. By following this plan, 1
fresh supply Of these sorts will keep coming
on for table use until late 10 the season.
