We are sorry for Grants own sake
that he has permitted himself to indulge
in the peculiar criticisms of the present
administration which has fallen from
his lips, hut we are glad for the sake of
the country that he has, through some
agency, been induced TO exhibit himself
as he really is. The expressions from
him which we published yesterday, and
the others of similar tenor that preceded
them, prove as plainly as need be that
General Grant has learned nothing and
forgotten nothing since his administTa-
ton was wound up. Despite his plea
for charitable judgment he is the same
as he was when he broke down the prose
oution of the whisky ringsters,
when he shielded Belknap from punish
ment, and when he perpetrated or
countenanced the thousand and one scan
dals of his eight years in the White
House 1t is as plain as the MONDAY
sun that if he was to return to the White
House to morrow he would be exactly
the same kind of an Executive that he
was when he was last there. He has no
more comprehension now than he had
then of the principles of republican gov
eminent or of the function of republican
executive administration. More than
this. he lacks the commonest kind of
common discretion in the use of Ian
guage; just as he lacked 1t in the per-
Torrance of executive acts. However
it may have been with him when he was
young and ambitious soldier, engaged
in making reputation in fit and con-
genial field, he is no longer a man whom
the American people can afford to put
any trust in: His ideas, if carried out
half way to their logical conclusions,
would be utterly destructive to republi-
canism on this continent, or to anything
worthy of bearing the name of good gov
eminent.

The Russian Revolution.

The tidings from Russia, to the effect
that a section of the Nihilists have
seeded from the Terrorists and have
fastened to assure the Gar that he and
his high officials have not been con-
demned to death, either indicate that
the revolution is to take on new phase,
or that the Gear is to be lulled into fan
cied security to the end that his ruin
may be the more easily brought about.
The revolution, in itself, is perhaps
the most remarkable the world has ever
witnessed, and the determination of its
promoters and the obstinacy of the ruler
and his counsellors are alike subjects OF
wonder. The murdered Car confessed,
in measure, the justice of the revolu-
tionary demands, and was apparently
about to concede something to them
when his life was taken from him.
The new Gear, confronted with his
fathers terrible fate, and furnished with
additional proofs of the remorseless
spirit of Nihilism, makes no effort to
placate it, but shuts himself up in his
grim fortress in the hope that there he
may WELD in safety the sceptre, and
preserve the pride of the Romanoffs. If
ever the fable of the wretches pursued
by the Fures were realized, the Autocrat
of All the Russias illustrates it to-day
as he looks out from his refuge and his
prison.
A change of some kind must come.
The dungeons are crowded with the sus-
pected, and if they are kept filled with
new arrivals, it may not be long ere a
new Russia rises beyond the Ural,
where the exiled may find all that they
struggled for in the Russia of history.
We might wish that it might be, for
while we may condemn the methods and
perhaps the aims of Nihilism, we may,
with Edmund Burke, pardon some
thing to the spirit of liberty"

Crime in Kentucky-A Humiliating
Admission.

The COurier-JOurnGI, prefacing some
structures of the New York Herald on
the administration of criminal justice in
Kentucky, admits that Kentucky JUS
tice is really farce. Our officers, " says
that paper. acknowledge that at present
it is almost impossible to punish crime
of any kind. Gambling, robbery or
murder, it is all the same. Either the
laws are inefficient or the officers are at
fault. There is no crime which has a
more pernicious and at the same time a
more subtle influence on public morality
than gambling. Our statute books bris-
tie with laws aimed at the extinction of
the vice, but they accomplish nothing.
1t is time for our good citizens to con.
slider this matter seriously, and de-
termine, if public safety does not
demand some vigorous measures. some
radical and thorough reform. A society
for the prevention of crime would have
a wide field in Kentucky at this time,
for crime of all kinds is rampant. In
deed, the marvel is, when we consider
how leniently we deal with criminals,
when we notice how careful we all are
not to hurt the feelings of the unfortu-
nate men who kill or steal and fleece
their victims at keno, or by the lottery
wheel, when we say all this is thought
of, the marvel is that the criminal classes
are so considerate, and manifest such
restraint and self denial; the law certain
ly has no terrors for them"

Cholera Infantum.

A writer in the New York Sun, allud.
ing to the fact that cholera infantum
and analogous troubles carry off the
bulk of infants who die during the
heated terms of summer, says: 1T may
almost always be traced to food and
drink and the manner of giving them.
You would be surprised to know the
number of children who are killed mad
vertently by the carelessness or lgnor-
ance of mothers or nurses. The ma
jority of infants who die in the summer
season are those who are fed by the
bottle; the milk used is often sour or
partly So Another prolific cause of
their death, and an exceedingly impor-
tant one, is the failure to provide them
suff1ciency of cool water to drink"
He proceeds to show that the depriva-
ton of water has brought about a larger
number of cases of death than all other
causes combined. They are always too
much wrapped up. and in any case
would perspire very freely. The water
lost by perspiration must be supplied
As DR.. Murdoch stated in his paper on
''Cholera Infantum," 'the child is
thirsty, not hungry; but, not getting the
water, which it does want. it drinks the
milk, which it does not want" The con-
sequence is that the stomach is over
loaded with food which it cannot digest,
and which soon ferments and becomes a
source of severe irritation. Then follow
vomiting, purging and cholera infantum
The remedy for the evil is thus given:
'Have water-without ice always &C.
cessible to the child, who will then re-
fuse sour milk and will eat only when
hungry. Water is the great indispensable
article for the preventive treatment of
children in hot weather. 1t is important
enough to nursing children, but is life
itself to those reared on the bottle. The
result of its judicious use is that they
will then take milk when it is sweet and
will drink it only in such quantities as
they will be able to digest. A
child who drinks often of water
is much less likely to get overheated
than one who is deprived of it. A child
must be watched, of course. AS rule,
its instinct is its best guide. 1t is only
in the grown-up child that the animal
instincts become vitiated and unreliable.
You may state with entire confidence
that the free giving of water is in ma
iority of cases potent preventive
against the terrible scourge of cholera
infantum."
These may be timely hints for many
mothers, especially those who are either
ignorant of some simple but great truths,
or misguided by ideas that have no basis
in cold fact.

PosrpoNEMENr OF THE STAR ROUTE

PosTPoNEAfENT OF THE STAR ROUTE
CASES. CONTRARY to the general expec-
tation the investigation of the star route
cases by the grand jury of the District
Criminal Court has been postponed until
September. The drawing of the grand
and petit juries was completed Tues
day, and the government was ready to
proceed with the inquest, but, under the
law, the cases against persons who are
in Jail must take precedence of all
others. Judge Cox, who is holding the
term, has decided to adjourn court for
the summer vacation on July 2, and it is
scarcely expected that the Jail cases will
be disposed of before that time. The
postponement of the inquiry into the
star route "crookedness" is said to be
highly gratifying to the gentlemen who
expect to figure as defendants If the cases
are brought to trial. .#"

No More Lieutenants to be APP
nOinted from Civil Life.

The Washington Star says the War
Department is flooded with applications
for appointment as Second Lleutenants
in the army from civil life They come
in by the hundreds daily, There is no
use in sending them there. There will
be no appointments from civil life this
year, and probably none for several
years. This is due to the provisions of
the military appropriation bill of last
year. General Drum has issued an order
citing the provisions of that law, and
saying: "Under the laws cited, it will be
perceived that appointments to fill va.
cancies in the grade of Second Lieu
tenant in the army are made from four
classes, and in the following order, viz
1. From the graduating class, of each
year, at the Military Academy. 2. From
meritorious on-commissioned officers
of the army 3. From regular graduates
of the Military Academy who have been
honorably discharged from the service.
A. From civil life. The first three classes
being more than sufficient to fill the va
cancies occurring in the army from year
to year, the success of an applicant from
civil life is, except by reason of extraor-
binary and unforeseen contingencies,

Considerable excitement has been
created in Atlanta by the rumor that the
Louisville and Nashville Company had
purchased or leased the Richmond and
Danville Road. The Constitution is
especially aroused, and threatens storm
of indignation which the company could
not stand six months. This is very much
like the talk which was heard in Nash
vile at the time of the purchase by the
Louisville and Nashville of the Nash
vile and Chattanooga, but there was no
cause for it. General Alexander, who
has been in New York for ten days,
reached home Yesterday. The article
and he was asked if the purchase of the
Richmond and Danville was the object
of his visit.
mot at all, F" he said eth G Louisville
and Nashville has not purch ased or
leased the Richmond and Danville; that
you can state very positively. You can
also say, that if such a purchase had
been made, no attempt would follow to
damn up Atlanta, nor to obstruct the
general development of the South. We
want to see the Georgia Western built !;
we would have built it ourselves if we
had had the funds available AS we did
not, we transferred the charter to those
who assured us they had the money to
build, and would build at once. If the
Georgia Western is not built, the re-
sponsibility will not rest with the Louis
vile and Nashville Company" 1t is
hoped when this statement reaches At
lanta the excited newspaper men will
calm down.
Some correspondent at Atlanta sends
a special telegram to the Cincinnati
papers to assure them that what he calls
the Georgia Pacific" is not to be under
the control of the Louisville and Nash
vile Company. There is nothing what
ever in name; what was called at one
time the Georgia Western" was just as
important, if not as imposing. as what
is now called the Georgia Pacific. 1t is
merely a local road, with Birmingham
as its objective point, passing through
rich coal fields, and it is probable this
road will be built. Who will control it
is not known, nor is it of much import
ance. The Louisville and Nashville will
receive all the favors it will ask. General
Gordon, who is at the head OF it, is
regularly drawing his salary as attorney
for the Louisville and Nashville, and the
charter, which he is to use, was trans
ferred to him under special conditions,
which will undoubtedly be observed. In
no city in the Union is more wild rail
road talk INDUCED in than Atlanta. Idle
vaporings around banquet boards are not
substantial enough to build railroads.
Atlanta IS fourishing city, and she de
serves success, but there is decided ten
dency in that locality to slop over. Not
more than one road in ten built on
paper and endorsed by banquet in At
lanta will ever be open for business All
this is merely by way of warning. Louis
vile is entirely satisfied with the present
and prospective railroad situation in the
South.

The Chicago Tribune declares that
ConkIing and Platt have been playing a
losing game from the start. They had
more votes on the first ballot than on any
subsequent one. Their forces were bet
ter organized, more harmonious. and
more hopeful when the balloting began
than they ever have been since, or ever
will be again. They have embittered the
opposition by their obstinate and selfish
policy, and have gained no friends in
any quarter. The longer they maintain
the deadlock the more irritated the peo-
ple become. 1t is certain now that they
can never be reelected. They may
make up their minds to that. If they
should secure an adjournment and refer
the matter to the people. the result could
not by any possibility be favorable to
them. Either a Democratic majority
would be returned, or the administra-
fiouists would come back reinforced in
numbers and in resolution. The only
hope Mr.. Conkling still has of political
future consists ia his deciding to submit
gracefully to the people. and admitting
his error by so doing. Hecannot be for
given until he repents.

Grant Holds Out His Hat III New

it is said, is for the purpose of receiving
the purse of $3.50. 900 subscribed by
wealthy citizens for his benefit. There
were two of these subscription funds fol

IN Boston, still chung fire" the last we
heard of it; though tie full amount was
said to be nearly raised. That fund
was nominally for the benefit of the
ex-Presi ients- Grant TO have it first,
and as long as he lived. Fhe fhila
delphia subscription was a gift
outright-$250, 900 to U. S. g. This. we
suppose, is the fund he is after, in New

Mr.. G. Washington Childs, of Philadel
phia, is expected to wait on him in day
OF two and arrange for the presentation.
The Generals heada uaFters arc at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Among the callers
on him, as soon as he arrived, were Lou

Eden Newman. Grant was asked wheth
er he would take part in the Senatorial
struggle at Albany. He said that he was
ready to go to Albany to assist Mr.. Conk
ling, bnt he could not see that he would
do him any good by going.
