Coming HON O.
to death.

The Columbia College crew, the victors at
the Henley Regatta, sailed from Liverpool
ON the City OF Berlin on Thursday last,
and will probably arrive in New York on
Saturday next Whatever reception may
be in contemplation should be ready Oh
that day, as the City of Berlin is reliable
boat and, barring accidents, is tolerably
certain to reach her dock some hour on the
day named. 1t is fitting that demonstra-
ton should be made on the return of the
victorious crew in addition to the welcome
they are certain to receive from their col
lece associates. They went to Europe on
their own responsibility, quietly confident
in their own powers, without any pecu-
liar "git thar" stroke or any boastful
"git thar" promises, and they won.
Since their triumph their bearing has beon
as unassuming as il was prior to the race.
They have proved that our own New York
college can turn out oarsmen capable oi
beating the choice crews of Oxford and
Cambridge, and they are satisfied. Their
pluck, earnestness and modesty ought tc
be recognized by handsome welcome on
their arrival in New York, but the more
simple and informal the demonstration ID
made the better it will please Captain
Goodwin and his men.

Reducing Expenses.

Comptroller Kelly has addressed eiicu-
lar to all heads Of departments and officers
of the city government requiring them to
send in to the Board Of Apportionment, be-
fore September l, their estimates OF the
amount required for the use of their several
departments and offices Tor 1879. In max
ing this request the Comptroller directs at
tention to the absolute necessity of the
strctest economy in every branch of the
city government, and adds that where
estimated amounts are deemed not
to be absolutely necessary or are
considered too high the Board will
vigorously exercise the power to eliminate
or reduce the items. This action of the
Comptroller will be approved by the peo-
pie, and il is to be hoped that the promised
economy will be enforced in supplies for
the departments as well as in salaries
The weight Of taxation is still heavy in the
city, and the business interests, and espe-
cially the interests of real estate need re-
lief. The early reception OF the estimates
will enable the Board of Apportionment to
carefully scrutinize the items, and will
afford an opportunity for wholesome crit
icsm OF them by vigilant press.

nIr. Charles Foster.

When Mr. Foster, Of Ohio, was accused
of being party to 'bargain" with South
ern democrats he promptly denied it. Yet
he now thinks the Presidents Southern
policy "has not been responded to as ho ex-
pected." Does he mean to say that
because the President restored local
sclf-government in Louisiana and South
Carolina therefore he thinks the
Southern people are bound to vote
the republican ticket? lie talks as
though he knew Of some bargain Of this
kind; ii he does he ought to speak out
plainly. We suspect that Mr.. Foster, who
was formerly straightforward supporter
of the Presidents Southern policy, is now
getting on the fence to concliato q
few extreme republican voters in his
district. But these ought not to be deceived
by Fosters present attitude. He really be-
lieves in the Presidents policy he made a
report to Congress in 1876 which showed
up the rascality Of the Louisiana re-
publicans he made speech in Congress
in 1877 justifying the new Southern policy
and foreshadowing it lie is one of Its
responsible authors; and if the republicans
of his district want q man who dislikes II
they must get some other man than Foster.

a case for large issue as their opponents
for a small issue. II those engaged in GER

industries have fair case for similar or
even greater demands. In all these mat

Several witnesses complained that small
manufacturing enterprises are crushed

complaint is we'll founded. 1t is so all

cannot help them. Meantime, we advise

Coal strike. In Penn.yiv.ai..

We learn from France that the strikes in
its coal mining regions have collapsed. and
our dispatches from Pennsylvania tell us

show the miners OF Turkey Run to be phi
losophers. The answer of Superintendent
Parrish in another case to the demand for
an increase was to the effect that the Wilkes
barre Company's greatest concord was to
keep all the men at work. The effect
of this on the men appears to
have been good. little frank
ness Of this nature can do employers
no harm. Where the inability to give
an advance and continue work is de-
monstrable few workingmen are rash enough
to tempt starvation by going on strike. It
gives US pleasure to note this common sense
spirit on both sides. Communism can have
no abiding place in the councils of working
men Of this stamp.

Austria in Bosnia.

The Turks apparently can understand
all the arrangements in their disfavor OF the
Treaty of Berlin except the handing over
of Bosnia to Austria. That puzzles them.
The Austrians are there in force, ayowedly
to keep order and reorganfze the province,
with q faint understanding that they are to
get out some time or other. But they
steadily refuse to say when that will be.
In fact, everybody outside of Turkey
firmly believes that Austria has ''come
to stay" On the Ottomans themselves
this disagreeable conclusion is forcing
itself, but they affect to ignore it, and
are busy asking questions at Vienna that
nobody will answer. Now, the Turks
are fighters with live traditions of fair, fat
provinces taken at the edge of the sword,
and they submit to the Russian slicing the
Bulgarian principality, Independent Servia,
independent Montenegro and reformed
Roumelia with q clear conscience that 1t
was because they could not cut enough
throats to prevent these changes. They are
shrewd at bargain, and when they give a
lease of an island to England at tho
rent of its surplus revenue, with
an important alliance thrown in, they feel
at liberty to congratulate themselves.
Their feelings at seeing the white coats of
the Anstrians marching over the Bosnian
frontier can be imagined. Austria did not
fight them, nor will she pay them. She
pretended to be the enemy of Russia and the
friend of England one moment and no.
body's friend the next 1t is according to
Osmanli logic that Austria should be made
to do little fighting; but as poor, be-
devilled Turkey cannot carry this bel
licose intention out in her own name
she evidently takes leaf from the
Russian plan during the Servian cam
paign of 'making war by proxy" She
cannot answer, she says, for what the inhab-
itants Of Bosnia may do, which is plain
intimation to the rowing Turks who did not
have enough fight in the late campaigns,
and there are great many Of them, that
they can 90 to Bosnia and make ambus-
cades tor Austrian hussars and slaughter the
men of the line whenever they geta chance.
The Mohammedan population of Bosnia
numbers nearly half million, and the
Christians, both Greek and Catholic, num-
Der over eight hundred thousand. The
prospect, then, is that Austria will, for
some time at least, find Bosnia to be q
second Venetia on her hands. This will
not be displeasing to Russia.

A Political Bald Mountain.

In North Carolina there is weeping lad
wailing and amazement and disgust among
the politicians of both parties. Political
those hateful disturbers Of harmony, the
independents, have cast their votes regard
less Of party lines democratic counties
have been carried by republicans, republi-
can counties by democrats, and both by
''dark horses" and the "Bald Mountain
party" as the independents are called, have
shaken up the whole State. It is quite
awful for sedate North Carolina man to
find that old Josiah Turner, the chief Sin
dependent" disorganizer of the State, has
actually been elected to the Legislature in
defiance of both parties and that Governor
Vance will not be elected to the United
States Senate.
These are perilous days for party leaders.
In Georgia the independents are as plenti-
full rs stumps in a backwoods clearing; in
Pennsylvania the republicans are terror
struck at an independent movement which
may bring ex-senator Edgar Cowan ont Of
his retirement as candidate for Governor;
IN virginia tnere are aimOSt hS manly CALL
didates as there are voters; in Massachu-
setts General Butler threatens both parties,
and. everywhere there is political disinte-
grafton. And yet the fall canvass has
hardly begun. Not half the nominations
have been made, yet it is the exception
rather than the rule to find only two candi-
dates in the field for any one office.
! Nor is the end yet. The Louisiana demo-
Gratis have just adopted platform which is
very certain to split their party to pieces.
Following the example of their brethren in
Missouri and Arkansas, they demand the
repeal Of the Resumption act the initiation
OF the currency and the payment of the
debt in grcenbacks. They may carry the
State on that platform with the help of re-
publicans, but they cannot keep their own
party together on it. Meantime the Della
ware democrats honorably and sensibly de-
mand currency of coin. or paper money
redecmable in coin. What do the Ohio
democrats say to that? And while in
Maine, Michigan and some other States the
republicans have adopted currency resolu-
tions precisely like those of the Delaware
democrats, in other States they are quietly
submitting to the greenback and initiation
| movement.

Too Bursy 10 Go.

The Hewitt committee has ceased to take
volunteer testimony from workingmen, yet
there are some large classes who were mot
heard from ut all. The owners of the thou
sands of small farms within half-day's
Journey Of New York work as hard and for
as little money as any one who put in acom-
plant. So do the thousands of car drivers
and conductors, the great body of sailors
and fishermen, the porters and clerks in
stores, and the mass of men of long
hours and small pay who occupy
subordinate positions in businesses not
strictly mechanical. There are the hosts of
professional men out OF employ and ruined
merchants these once had large incomes,
but now have the wolf at the door all the
while, and sometimes see his head inside
as they toll for whatever they can get.
There are large numbers of mechanics and
artisans who, finding trade dull in their
own line, have gone at whatever else prom
ised bread and butter, or even bread
alone. All these classes are certainly as
anxious as any one else to improve their
condition and as competent as any of their
fellows to suggest means of improvement
by LEGISLATION. There was some reason

Can Michigan outrow New york.

NAh HAAchiSAu OuIrOw New 1OrA
A difference of opinion exists in boating
circles as to the relative merits Of three un-
questionably fast four-oared crews-the
Columbus. the eShoe-wae-cae-mettes and the
Atalantas. An opportunity is at hand to
settle the question, and as it is not likely to
ever come again it should not be lost. The
Columbias will soon be home, the 'Shoes'
are reported likely to be in the national
regatta at Newark on the 21st inst, while
the Atalantas are doubtless available at very
short notice. None are far enough
out of condition not to be all
right in a fortnight or three weeks
Now let them row breast race
of mile and fve-sixteenths-the
Henley distance ON the Harlem River, say
on the 23d inst, or at the Metropolitan
regatta on the 28th inst. on the Hudson
River. No contest ever rowed on New
York waters would be more exciting. We
should then see whether the ''git thars"
would win, or whether Atalanta really out
rowed them ut Watkins Columbia would
show her pace, for it will be remembered
that the present team never raced at home
as crew. 10 be sure, she will need one
new man, but she has plenty Of good on es
at home besides Mr.. Eldridge, the substi-
tute she took abroad. Columbia ached for
another chance at the ''git thars" abroad.
Let it come now and there will be glorious
fight and plenty of doubt beforehand as to
the result.

Activity or the Clerical Party at Rome.
PHILADELPHIA BnIlatin.l

The Clerical party Is showing great activi-
ty, especially In Rome. There Is Central
Clerical Commission, the headquarters Of
which can be found at the Palazzo Borghese.
The commission is very jealous and Indus
trious In regard to the Observation-Disclosures
political elections. 1t has called many meet
ings lately; has sent out circulars to all the
committees of the various Rioti or Roman
wards. These circulars are exhortations to
the members Of the committees to take care
that there shall be as many Clerical electors
as possible inscribed on the electoral lists.
The Liberals are not half so energetic as the
Clericals, and will probably be defeated In a
future administrative election. tits said that
the Pope encourages this activity. We all
know from history the absorbing power OF the
Roman Catholic Church, the Piedmontese
