FEDERhL OR STATE SUPREN1CY

Yes, it is very much the old question, after
all Shall the Nation perish that the SUI
premacy of States may be established The
Democratic leaders would put the question III
different form, no doubt. But among the
rank and file of that party, every assertion
of the power of the Nation to defend its own ex-
istence, its laws, its officials, or the purity of
its elections, is regarded with undisguised
hostility. That feeling of hostility is only
the more potent because it is rather half
unconscious impulse than an avowed and de-
liberate purpose. Half of the Democratic
party was in arms against the Nation too
long not to be irritated by every display of
the Nations power Another portion sympa-
thized with rebellion as COpperheads too long
and too heartily to regard without bitterness
the mighty power which the Nation first dis
played when traitors menaced its existence.
Another portion, being essentially Socialists
or Communists, regard all government as
their enemy, and a strong government
as a more dangerous enemy than a weak
government. Thus, many shades of motive
and forms of belief cOnspire to produce that
bitter hostility to a vigorous, self-defending
National Government, which is the charac-
teristic spirit of the Democratic party. This
spirit finds fuller expression in the attempt
to nullify the Election laws. to cripple the
Army, and to strip the President of his consti-
tutional power than it has found at any other
time since the war.
The country has new reason for thankful
ness whenever some Democratic leader, by an
unguarded Outburst of frankness, makes the
real spirit and purpose of that party clearer
Mr. Southland, q former member of Congress,
whose boast it is that he brought on the pres
ent struggle by his course at the last regular
session, has been speaking with candor, and
has entitled himself to the public gratitude.
The extra session, he says, was only a
skirmish, and the battle has yet to
come. The Democratic party will, per-
force, become absolutely united in the
effort to repeal or nullfy the Election laws,
to provide that the Army shall not be
used to enforce those and other laws, and to
put down what he is pleased to consider the
usurpatiOn of the Executive. He is firm IN the
belief that the party must fight TO the death
on this line, and gives a pertinent reason.
With the Election laws, he says, enforced
as 1t now knows how to enforce them, the
Republican party is invincible. The phrase Is
a strong one, and Mr.. Southland gives details.
He asserts that in ten or more districts the
Democrats would have elected members of
the present Congress but for those laws, and
that their better enforcement hereafter Will
deprive the Democratic party Of still greater

what the precise cause OF the falling
out is, bat the public may rest assured that 1t
is not any quarrel over speculative schemes.
Schell is no such man. Neither is Kelly. 1t
is not impossible that it is radical difference
between them on the proper Interpretation OF
Dorsheimer's celebrated speech. 1t Is some
thing, certainly, connected with the Struggle.
1t is very sad to think that the paths OF
these two StrugPlers may hereafter lie apart,
and that the Struggle, already divided up INTO
so many wings in this city, may have TO
undergo another subdivision. But there IS
encouragement in the thought that so long as
there's dollar in the Treasury the Struggle
will go on and Messrs. Kelly and Schell will
be running some part of it; if not together,
then separately; if not in Tammany, then In
Irving Hail. or some AntiTammany head
Guarters but everywhere and at all times
"whooping it up" for the rights of man and
whatever places are open in which ener-
getic men can earn living salaries sup
porting the Constitution of the United
States and attending the primaries. 1t
may be, too that the breach will be
healed. Could we entertain for mo-
ment the suspicion that 1t has arisen from
the meicenary considerations which the foes
of Human Liberty connect It with we should
say at once, let the Fourth Avenue Elevated
be built at the expense of the city if neces-
sary, and Frank Spinola be empowered to pipe
the whole Island for steam purposes, rather
than have this painful condition of affairs
continue. If there's anything that the city can
do to heal the breach. by all means let it be
done For when John Kelly ana Augustus
Schell fall out, Liberty is IN danger.

II il an era of memorable weather all over
the country. The heat from which we have
been suffering for two days is as nothing
compared to the heat which has been drying
up the face of the South for two weeks past.
Dispatches from Richmond state that there
has been no rain in that region for month /;
many water-courses are drying up, and
the James River itself can be crossed at one
point not far from the city without wethng
ones shoes. In Georgia and other States the
drought is doing vast damage to the crops.
The heat seems to have eliminated yesterday
in the South as well as here. In Virginia
the mercury which has been unusully ambi
tious of late reached 104o i'll the shade, and
in Georgia the weather is declared TO
be the hottest known in forty years
In this city the thermometer showed at one
time 1O1o in the shade-a rise of two degrees
beyond the day beforehand i'll the sun, at
station in Central Park where the tube was
not affected by the radiation from houses
and pavements, il showed 1882. People who
have fancy for trying the sunny side of the
street may know now what to expect. For
tunately however, the number Of severe
sunstrokes was light, owing to steady
breeze. More than twenty cases were re-
ported, but there were only two deaths from
this cause.-In New-Engand the disturbance
which made itself felt here at night in re-
freshing rains took the form in some places
of actual tOrnadoes. Boston and the City OF
Fitchburg were visited with especial
severity, much property being damaged
Many yachts and boats were capsized in
Boston Harbor and five lives were
lost by drowning. Much damage to property
is also reported from Connecticut. 1t was a
day of atmospheric commotiOn on all sides,
and there will be genuine rejoicing when the
prophecies of the observers are fulfilled, and
the elements are again at peace.

DAYS when Pendleton Illuminated the original
"Ohio idee," and is indeed just such a hard
money platform as Mr.. Tilden would approve,
If he bestowed any attention upon politics
nowadays. The Convention also nominated
candidate who would be personally devoted
to Mr.. Tilden's interests, If he had anyj and
so arranged matters that If that gentleman
were not wholly withdrawn from active life.
he might perhaps control the Democratic ma
chine and obtain the vote of Pennsylvania in
the Democratic National Convention. MIR.
Tilden is one of the quietest men IN the
United States, however, and Will hardly give
a passing glance to these things.
The term of fierce heat which began on
Tuesday has already caused considerable
increase of diarrheal sickness. especially
among the children of the poor who are con-
demned, many of them, to live night and day
in an atmosphere of almost unvarying heat
aud foulness The heat which brings discOm-
fort 20 the well-tO-dO members of the COM
munity should at the same time remind them
of those unfortunates to whom the height OF
the mercury is actually question OF lie OF
death, and who have more reason to dread
llle not DrtalH Oh IMAM IiiO Nhii'-i'e
blasts of Winter. Some instances of suffering
among this class are given in our local col
umns, and hundreds must exist which do not
reach the public eye and may even fail OF
proper relief. Happily, however, this subject
has received so much attention within the
past few years that number of hospitals and
seaside sanitariums have been founded for
sick children, and those who wish to help tins
beautiful charity have only the easy duty TO
perform of giving what money they can, and
giving it promptly. They are spared the
labor of searching out the sick or arranging
provision for them; the whole machinery Is
ready made if they will but put it in notion
The Seaside Sanitarium, of which Mr.. Henry
King is president, and the Sick Childrens
Mission of the ChildIen's Aid Society are con-
spicuous in this noble work. Both need
money, and both will apply it so that the
greatest possible amount of good may be done
with the least possible amount of money.
The same may no doubt be said of all other
institutions of o hike kind, and those VINO ald
them win have the satisfaction Of knowing
that they are giving helping hand to some
of the most unselfsh charities in existence.

THE BREADsTUFFs' MARKET.

There was strong demand for breadsturs yester-
day, which was largely speculative and for export
and by those who had sold short" and bought to
cover" Winter wheat was active with an adj
vance of from q to 81 cent bushel Red WIN
teri being firm on the advance. "Spring" wheat
was unsettled Oats declined from l to Ia cents
lower. aud were offered freely. Some dealers
thought that the advance In freight rates on Mon
day would make prices of breadstulis more nlIi
but there is comparatively nothing dong at tann
rates nor is it thought there will be until the crops
begin to move and by that time the tariff rates VIII
be ignored 1t is asserted that most of the business
now doing on East-bound freight is on old con-
tracts, which rates are less than one-halt the
schedule rates. and that all new business is done on
a renewal of old contracts.
