TO maintain conservatism at the expense OF
reform, which the President OF the Chamber
has made the fashion under tho new name
OF opportunism.
Whether the vast majority OF republicans

notion OF GAMBETTA and his present policy,
will soon be determined by events. The
time now seems not distant when the fore

The Worn and Mu,iiated Greenbacks.

Among the earliest duties OF the Demo-
cratic majority in both branches of Con-
gress at the approaching session, is that OF
calling in and destroying all worn-out and
ragged United States notes, to the
end that they may be replaced by
new issue, thus providing that
they shall not be entirely withdrawn
from circulation. Having occasion within
day or two to step into one of the savings
banks, we asked to have note for the sum
OF ten dollars exchanged for smaller notes.
The teller, accordingly, gave in exchange
four notes for one dollar and three for two
dollars each, making seven notes in all.
Every one Of these notes, which, Of course,
had been brought in by working men.
women, and children, was so far mu-
tilated, worn, and ragged as to be unfit for
further circulation. After considerable
time spent in the effort to mend these notes
by the aid OF paper and mucilage, one must
still hesitate to pay out any one OF them.
Let it be borne in mind that when these
rags can no longer be circulated as cur
rency, the loss is certain to fall, not upon
brokers, bankers, shopkeepers, or railroad
companies, but upon seamstreSses, SER
wants, laborers, and operatives. 1t will
not be at all surprising il Mr.. Secretary
SHERMAN shall congratulate the country
upon the saving which the Government has
made by the loss or disappearance OF its
notes. A transaction OF this Kind will be
quite in keeping with his course through
out his entire career, whether in the Treas
ury Department or in Congress. Let tho
Democratic majority in Congress see to it
that he does not add to his claims upon his
party the merit OF having robbed those
members of the community who can least
afford to bear tho loss, and who, above all
others, deserve the careful attention OF the
law making power.

The investigations OF Commissioner CAMP
BELL regarding the waste OF water In private
houses help to explain why New York consumes
the extravagant quantity OF hard on 100 gallons
OF Croton water per inhabitant daily. An In
strument invented by one OF the officers Of the
Croton Aaueduct Bureau enables an inspector
to discover from the outside OF the house
whether there is waste going on within. and to
measure its quantity. BY this gauge 1t was
found that in fourteen private houses in various
parts OF the city the waste OF water averaged
seventeen gallons an hour from midnight until
O'Clock in the morning. Leaving tho faucet
open at night may prevent the freezing OF the
water in the pipes in cold weather. bur proper
plumbing would make such waste unn ecessary.
II people were not so wantonly extravsgant OF
1t. we should have plenty OF water without in
creasing our supply.

The recent reports attributing to Judge
DAVIS OF Illinois desire to exchange his place
in the Senate for seat on the bench Of the Su-
preme Court are not only unfounded. but they
are fabricated out OF whole cloth. 1t is an open
secret that he proposed resiGning from the
court two years before his election to the Senate
in 1876. and was only deferred from carrying
that desire into effect because he did not wish
to give Gen. GRANT the appointment OF his
successor.
He was elected to the Senate by a union be-
tween the Democrats and the Independents.
without having been candidate. and with no
expectation OF being chosen. Having accepted
that trust for the State and the people OF Ill-
nos. he will fulfil 1t. as he has done all others.
Certainly he will not be a conniving party at
any arrangement for transferring the control
OF the Senate to one side or to the other.

The astronomical events Of this week in
clude a conjunction of the moon with Uranus
on Thursday night. The moon will not rise
then until after midnight. and the only popular
interest that the conjunction has is in pointing
out the place Of Uranus. 80 that those who own
telescopes without equatorial clockwork can
readily find the planet. Uranus is barely visi-
BILE to the naked eye. but by sweeping with a
telescope ak or seven degrees north Of the
moon 1t will bo easily picked up. Uranus has
now made about one revolution and a quarter
around the sun since Sir WILLIAM HERscHEL
became famous by its discovery. On Tuesday
Mercury comes between the earth and the sun.
and after that 1t will be morning star.

Anti-MasOnry.

Gen. PHELPS, the Anti-Masonic candidate
for President, seems to have received only
rs votes In this State This Is striking
illustration Of the fallen condition OF a
political faction that within the memory OF
the present generation enrolled among its
leaders In New York such names as WILLIAM
II. SEWARD, MILLARD FILLMORE, FRANCIS
GRANGER, and THURLow WEED, and on
several occasions determined the election
OF Governors. members OF Congress, and
other important officers.
Elsewhere this faction bore great sway.
Vermont, tho State In which Gen. PHELPS
resides, cast its seven electoral votes In
1882 for WILLIAM WRIT. the Anti-Masonic
candidate for President, while q few years
later the Anti-Masonic party of Pcnnsyl-
vania, under the lead Of THADDEUs STE

gether with tho avowed purpose Of having a

KELLY, Comptroller OF the city, toward
Mayor COOPER, at an official meeting be-
tween these dignitaries, surprised great
many persons who had previously con-
sidered Mr.. KELLY q gentleman. That he is

On the Canada Line.

The dispatches which have reached the
War Office on the subject OF MILEs's move
ments in Montana are extraordinary.
We find Gen MILES as long ago as Sept.
II suggesting to Gen. TERRY that to the So
called hostile Indians in northern Montana
thirty days should be given in which to sur
render, and THAT those who do not surren-
der shall then be hunted down." 1t was not
pretended that at that time war existed, or
that the Indians were rs whole hostile in
any other sense than that which Gen SHER-
IDAN established, with memorable effect,
just before CUsTER's defeat, when he dl-
rccted that all Indians absent from their
reservations should be treated as hostile
English tourists come from their game
preserves to slaughter buffalo in the North
west by the hundreds for the sheer pleasure
of hunting, leaving the carcasscs to rot, and
are accompanied in their quest by army
officers and escorts. But Indians who leave
their reservations to hunt the buffalo for
the winter food of themselves and their
families are to be shot down as If guilty OF
crime, on the hunting grounds traversed by
their ancestors for generations.
Next, we find Gen. TERRY, though perhaps
startled by the bluntness OF MILEss pro-
posed butchery, yet declaring: Il think
your propositions, as | understand them,
are wise" But he urges, nevertheless,
every effort in your power to induce them
to surrender not on the score of human
ity, but "to avoid the expense and diff
culties OF hunting tho Indians down.
This was not Gen. MILES only scheme.

Heproposed TO "burn over the country north
of the Missouri" 80 as to prevent SITTING
BULL, then about to como on buffalo hunt
toward the Yellowstone region. from doing
80. This Gen. TERRY disapprovcd, on the
ground that the region is the Government
reservation OF friendly tribes, "and we have
not the right to burn it over except as last
resort" or course, Gen. MILES already
knew that this reservation belonged to
friendly indiana, as q mans house In New
York belongs to him.
Once more we find Gen. MILES proposing
that call firearms and every pound Of am
munition north Of the Missouri River In the
hands OF civilians be destroyed or seized
and held until every hostile Indian has sur
rendered" This presupposes state OF
war, which destroys ordinary hunting and
trading privileges.
Gen. SHERMAN once suggested that the
army should be employed in exterminating
the buffalo, on the ground that these ami
mails are sources Of supply for the Indians,
and that the red men can never be success
fully penned and pauperized In reservations
30 long as they can earn their own living
by the chase. Gen. MILES would go step
beyond Gen. SHERMAN. not only destroying
the buffalo, but burning the country for
thousands OF square miles.
1t Is not, perhaps, to be wondered at that,
though out OF q total OF about three thou
sand reputed hostiles, fifteen hundred have
already surrendered, and more are expected,
yet the scouting parties in Montana have
already managed to start up one skirmish,
and may yet substitute war for peace.

Dor, at present President Of the Board Of
