hour, perhaps longer, when infant No. 1
wakes up again with storm in its bowels.
He lends his howl to the storm, and the UNI
happy bachelor stops his ears with both pill
lows, but the shril nuisance penetrates his
Uranium even then. Daylight begins to ap-
pear before he can fall asleep, and his eyes
have been closed only five minutes, when he
hears the fendish Waterman knock like a
batter1ng-ram at the next door, and sing out,
Shalt past five o'clock. Time to get up.''
The bachelor knows that his turn will be
next, SO, in desperation, he jumps out of bed
and dresses. If you see a hollow-eyed, pale
looking youth crawling to his work that
day, returning from an unsatisfactory din
ner, be sure he is some poor devil Of bach
elor, boarding in the ''family'' OF top floor of
the hotel, where children are allowed to run
riot BY day, as well as scream fercely by
night. This explains why people read in the
advertising columns 50 many notices Of
board required in places where there are no
children.

A Bachelor in a Hotel.

From the Chicago Times.
One of the pleasantsst things about hotel
life is for bachelor to sleep in room which
communicates, en- selste, as it were, with
other rooms on its right and left, allowing
every sound to reach his ears. Very often
the hanking apartments are occupied by
married people, with Or without children,
more frequently the former. The bachelor,
having nothing to come home to, prolongs
his stay at the saloon, mayhap, until OF Q
o'clock in the morning. He reaches his
room and attempts to snatch some repose,
aided by the narcotic effects of some mid
night celery, beer and tobacco. Vain hope.
The infant on his right has the colo, and
howls murder, while the anxious father, in
his night shirt, PAGES the room and attempts
to keep the cherub from yelling too Justify.
Then the gentle mother, snug in bed, calls
out: 'sWhy, Jeenls, how can you handle the
poor baby SO awkwardly." Whereupon
ssJeenas'' becomes nervous, increases in awk-
wardness, and the infantile screeching
grows in proportion. For two or.
three hours the hapless bachelor twists
and turns, unable to repose, and
with the thought that he has to get up at s.
o'clock to go to work staring him in the
brain. Finally, the innocent expends his
wind, and peace appears to be restored. De-
lusiye Relief! Hardly has No. quoted
down, when infant No. 2, in the room on the
left is seized with the whooping cough,
which awakens the whole family, who begin
to chatter in chorus. This continues for an

The Death Of the Princess Alice.

rics Of caste, and break down all barriers
OF political differences and distinctions.
VICTORIA is n woman as well az II Queen
and Empress, and tho deceased ALICE was
q daughter, sister, wife, and q mother,
as well as Grand Duchess. This day,
throughout tho civilized world in the freest
republics as we'll as in monarchical coun-
tries there will be one common and deep
feeling Of sorrow and sympathy for tho
royal family OF England for the deep afilic-
tion which has so suddenly and uncxpoet-

The coincidence OF the death OF the Prln-
cess ALICE is not alone that 1t occurred on the
same day OF the week and the same day of
the same month with that OF her father, the
late Prince ALBERT; but, like her father, she
died OF disease-though different from his

The Intelligent Indians OF the Civilized Tribes
Protesting Against the swindIe.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: As n

per. wish to ask Of you a favor in behalf OF the
Indians who own and inhabit the Choctaw and
Chickasaw. the Cherokee. Greek and Siminole
roveryations-in other words the five civilized

l hope you will slit and show up the doings Of
the Patterson Congressional Committee and
the Railroad Rings who are trying to extin-
guish the titles which these Indians hold TO
their lands, in order that the land grabbers
may get them.
The Patterson Committee have come and gone
more like froiicking excursion than like men
trying to investigate facts They had an extra
train on the NJ. X. and T. Railroad. None OF
the Committee visited the Choctaw nation ex-
cept Patterson. They took no evidence at all
in Atokn which is one Of the largest and most
important towns. But they stopped at String

only 767 persons in the United States who
hold 80 much as $4,000 each ofnatlonal bank
stock, while more than half the whole num-
Der OF shareholders owned but 81 900, or less,
apiece. Tho Comptroller does not enable us
to fix tho aggregate sum controlled by the
few hundreds OF larger stockholders but he
does prove that, taking the whole number
together, the average amount possessed by
each Individual was but So The dis
trlbutlon Of the shares is also noteworthy.
Thus it appears that citizens OF the Western
States held more than $4,000 shares, and cit
i2cns OF the Southern States more than 1900.
In the stock Of banks organized in the East
ern and Middle States The figures here
brought forward attest further that ma
tional bank stock is apportioned well nigh
as widely among people OF moderate means
as is that Of any other class OF corporations
in tho country. Another fact not generally
known Is the tolerable evenness OF Its allot-
ment TO the two great political parties, a
state OF things which ought to insure free
dom from the pressure Of partisan influence.
Altogether the statistics published in this
report are extremely pertinent, and the
Comptroller's deductions are made in fair
and temperate spirit. Such compilation
will do good service by leading the oppo-
ncnts and the advocates OF the national
banking system to limit the field Of argu-
ment to basis OF exact, established fact.

The Army and Navy under Hayes,
Jackson, and Van Buren,.

II lie only by comparison with the expcn-
dltures OF other Administrations on tho
army and navy that we can clearly appre-
ciate the proillgacy of the expenditures of
the present Fraudulent Administration on
those two branches OF the public service.
In his annual report TO Congress, JOHN
SHERMAN says that the expenditures OF the
HAYES Administration for military and ma
val purposes for the last year, the present
year, and the next year will amount to
total Of $155,124,OOO. A portion OF this
sum for thcicurrent year is estimated, as is
the whole for the coming year.z Long expe-
rience, wide observation, and innumerable
deficiency bills have taught the country
that no Secretary Of the Treasury ever over
estimated the expenses Of his department.
And certainly JOHN SHERMAN Is not an ex-
ception TO this rule. Therefore the infer
ence Is irresistible that his OUTLAWS for the
army and navy are likely to turn out to be
at least ten millions more than he places
them at. However, for our present pur-
poses, let themHstand at S155, 124,000 for
three years.
The great political leaders Of their time,
WEBSTER. CLAY, and CALHOUN, arraigned
the Administrations Of JACKSON and VAN
buren, for their wastcful use OF the public
money, especially upon the army and
navy. They were particularly severe upon
Mr.. VAN buren, for his extravagant navy
expenditures. They denounced both in the
bittercst terms for their Black Hawk, Semi
mole, and other Indian wars, which proved
10 be so heavy n burden upon the Treasury.
To defend these Administrations against
these attacks required all the skill and elo-
quence Of BENTON, WRIGHT, CANIBRELlNG.
and their Democratic associates in the
Senate and House.
JACKSON and VAN BURTS held the Presi-
deucy twelve years, the Administration Of
the latter being regarded in popular esti
nation as only continuation Of the former
Now, let US see what these two Administra-
tlons spent on the army and navy
During his eight years JACKSON spent on
the army Si9, ,9ss, and on the navy
$3l, 93l COS making n total Of Ssi,5l9,99l
During his four years VAN buren, spent on
the army Si2.592,2l6 and on the navy
s25,074,6s4, making total OF SCI ,666, 900.
These sums make an z aggregate Of
$40, 1851 expended by JACKSON and VAN
BURES on the army and navy In the twelve
consecutive years Of their Administrations.
This, it will be perceived, Is less by S5,937,l0
than the amount which the Fraudulent
Administration proposes to expend on the
army and navy in only three years In
other words, it is carrying on the army and
navy at rate more than four times as ex-
pensive as that which evoked the bitter
Bnathemas Of WEBSTER, CLAY CALHOUN.
and their followers in the days OF JACKSON
and VAN BURES.

Major Quincy,s Denial.

Our severe condemnation OF the county
officers was based on the assumption that
the admissions alleged by the Committee Of
the Bar Association TO have been made by
these officers had really been made by them
In THE Sun Of yesterday we printed let
ter from Major QUINCY, Order Of Arrest
Clerk in the Sheriff Office emphatically
denying that he had made any such admis-
sions.
OF course under these circumstances Il
would be very unjust TO form judgment
against Mr.. QUINCY. When man pleads
not guilty to an indictment, he is not to be
condemned except upon the clearest evil
dcnce.
The Committee OF the Bar Association are
now in honor bound to maintain the charges
they have preferred, or to retract them. To
wilfully and falsely charge public officer
with extortion is in itself crime. The repu-
tations Of men, whether in public or private
station, are the most sacred OF all posses
sions, and are not to be lightly assaulted.
II the charges are true they can be proven
II they are untrue let them be manfully
withdrawn.
