term which will long be remembered for It's severity
The range of the thermometer was not 80 ligh as IL
has been in some former years; but the long coh-
tinuance of the heat and, during tho last TWO OF
three days the remarkable oppressiyeness OF the
atmosphere have made the affection hard indeed
TO bear. Outside the close streets with their burn
ing bricks and stones there has been reliei Ior
those who had the leisure to seek it, The breeze at
times has blown strong from the sea, DrlnRlhg
health and vigor; but it was only mt great eieVa-
tions above the pavement as in the upper floors OF
The TRIBUNE building orinstance, that THESE ireS
and liferiying winds could be felt they were all
LOST in the scorching city, The erratIe thunder
showers Yesterday afternoon had moro effect upon
the temperature than the rains of the evening be-
FORE and as we write there is the cheering prospect
of a cool night to refresh the million of weary DIS
heartened and feverish peOple who have been suner
ing IN the metropolitan furnace.
Mr. Indian Commissioner Hayt came promptly
to the front few days ago i'll card indlg-
nantly denouncing "puerile and mall
cious" the statement that he had failed
to avail himself of his option, under an
existing contract. to take beef for the Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail Indian Agencies at 81 90 per
hundred that, instead, he made new
contract for the remainder of the current
then proceeded to make contract for the next year.
for the same agencies, at 50 SO and 2 80. The con-
undrum which the people who bad been taught that
Commissioner Hayt was to introduce absolute purity
and straightforward business management into
the department. where hitherto the Indian rings
had full sway were now bothered over was this
Why shoud the Commissioner insist on paying $3 20
for beef, which he had contract for at 81 80. and
which he found he could get a new con-
tract for at So So To that conundrum
Mr.. Hayr has offered reply. His
letter in roundabout way admitted the facts, and
in very direct way called them "puerile and ma
licious" The public hardly takes that view OF
them. We respectfully submit that it is quite time
he should write another card.
Is there any good reason why the people on Muir
ray Hill should pay the most of the CrOtOn water
tax aud get the least of the CrotOn water There
is an abundant supply in the reservoir
and everybody is assured that there is
not the least danger of any scarcity this
Summer. Yet over large portion Of the
Hill it is now impossible to get water above
the second story-in some portions lmpos-
sible to get it even there excepting early
in the morning or late at night. Some years
ago the residents of this section demonstrated
so vigorously that some mains were laid
for their special benefit, and people were as
tonished at the sudden and sometimes for
chile appearance of water in their fourth
stories. The ardOr of that irst gush has long since
passed away, and is evidently not TO be renewed,
unless under the stimulus Of complaints as loud and
long as before

The latest reports from the Indian country
are much more encouraging. General HOward's
fight with the hOstiles at Butler Creek was
gallant and successful action. The Indians
were driven three times from posts of
natural vantage, and their camp was cap
tured. Six hundred troops are reported as
pursuing 1000 hosUiles who are moving
toward the Columbia River. The most
reassuring news, however, is that. i'll the
opinion both of General Sherman and General
Sheridan, the danger of a general Indian war
is past, and that they expect the suppression
of the present outbreak, which does not seem
likely to be long delayed, to be followed by a
lasting peace.

The firm stand of the Michigan Republicans
for honest money has compelled the Demo-
Gratis of that State to take an almost equally
sound position. The spectacle of two rival
parties IN Western State agreeing that tie
money of the Constitution is gold and silver,
and that all notes should be convertible into
coin at par, is calculated to cheer up the dog
days

II seems that among the uses of the Army
which the elastic Banning has been so careless
as not TO prohibit is that where it Is desired to
protect the rights of the discOYerer Of guanO
island, or of his widow, heir, executor, admin
istrator or assigns. There is danger to civil
liberty in this guileless clause, and Banning
should look to it.

The reassuring reports which Bank Super
intendent Lamb has received of the return OF
confidence to savings bank depositOrs are
signs of healthier condition of the public
mind. Uncalled-for distrust of these banks
only breeds the evils which it fears, and it is
a subject for general cOngratulation that this
Is coming % an end.

There seems to be a sinful tendency in the
National party to use up Mr.. Eugene Beebe.
Mr.. "The Allen did what he could the other
day in the way of reducing Mr.. Beebe's fea-
lures to homogeneous mass, and now he is
charged with stealing the funds of the organ
ization, and committee of five proposes to
put his character through the Allen course OF
treatment. If Mr.. Beebe took the money, he
is simply the martyr of TOO great consistency.
1t was sad mistake to suppose that
a party which was preaching something like
Communism would practise anything like it,
but it was very natural mistake for Mr..
Beebe to try to illustrate the theories of the
organization with the nearest pile he could
find of somebody else's money. Whatever is
the result of this solemn inquiry, it is to be
hoped that, in no contingency, will Mr.. Beebe
be compelled to return to his original profes-
sion of writing for newspaper waste-baskets.

In Kings County the Greenback party is, to
all appearances, exceptionally well organized
The claims of its members as to the number
of votes the party will cast are doubtless ex-
aggerated, but the fact that there is an organi-
zation in every ward and town; and that it is
proposed to run a candidate for every office
voted for, shows that the new factor in pol
itlcs has assumed respectable proportions in
Kings County in a very short period. An
article on another page sketches briefly some
of the Brooklyn leaders

Lord Beaconsfeld is finding that nothing
succeeds like success. The acquisition OF Cy-
prus excites hearty approval in Vienna
and Berlin, and even Prince Gortscha-
koff's organ regards the matter with
complacency, saying that Beaconsfeld
secured Cyprus so that he might not
return empty-handed from the Congress. In
Paris, the press in general complains bitterly
of England's conduct but one journal, owned
by Cabinet Minister, speaks apOlOgetically for
her. Everything indicates that England will
be allowed to retain her booty without much
reprOach.

All Sin is neither white enough nor black
enough to vote. This is Judge ChOate's de-
cision, made in conformity with a decision
given in the United States Circuit Court in
California by Judge Sawyer. The early laws
upon this subject permitted the naturalization
only of white aliens, and the later mOdifica-
tions have been in favor only of blacks or per-
sons of African birth or blood. All Sin, Or
as his New York name is-Charles Miller,
is neither the one nor the other, and
cannot, therefore, be naturalized. Thus
the anomaly is presented of the United
States expressly declaring that the night of
any citizen to vote shall not be abridged be-
cause of race and at the same time refusing
to a whole race the right to be naturalized.
1t is an anomaly, however. which has lasted
for long period, and could not be brought
to an end without great struggle. The
struggle is not likely to begin at once, either.
as the death of Senator Morton removed the
one statesman who was disposed to lead a
movement IN favor of Chinese citizenship.

THE TRIBUNE has again and again defended
the general purposes of the work which has
(unwisely perhaps) been committed to the dis
cretion of Mr.. Anthony COmstOck. OF late it
has been compelled more than once to
express its doubts as to the wis
dom with which Mr.. COmstOck con-
Quoted the work. In card written few
days ago, he resented, with some heat and
doubtful grammar, any question of the en-
tire correctness of his methods, repeated
his charges in the particular case in
which the Grand Jury had thrown them
out and bOasted of his purpose yet to make
them good. We print elsewhere his letter,
together with yesterdays record of judicial
proceedings in the case. The one seems
to dispose pretty effectually of the other; and
we now repeat, with somewhat more
emphasis, the warning to the members of this
society, that they must either teach Mr.. Com
stock more discretion or lose good deal of
the cordial support they have hitherto received
from the better portion of the public and the
press Of New York.

General Smythe, who is in command of the
Canadian troops at Montreal, having failed SO
far to declare clearly whether he intends to
protect the Orange procession or to prohibit
all large crowds on Friday. the excitement
naturally continues, and threats are made that
the Irish faction will be aided by disturbers
from Quebec 1t is unfortunate that large
city should thus be exposed to blOOdshed and
alarm through the supineness of the military
authorities. They should bear IN mind that it
is better to prevent riot than to quell it.
