with the instinct of self-preservation, naturally
turned the other way. The hunter mounted
him-for he held his fur in high esteem
and the result ensued which might have
been expected-bunter and gyascutus went
rolling down the slope together. The hunt
is not yet over. There are clouds of dust on
the mountain side, and occasionally the mingled
shout of the hunter and howl of the gyascutus
issue from them. No one can tell at the
present moment whether the hunter Will
succeed in taking the pelt of the gyascutus or
whether there will be any fur left on it when
he gets it but the general belief is that 1t
is all up with the gyascutus.
Upon the whole we think Tom Clyma's
animal was genuine gyascutus.

The numerous poetioal quotations IN Mr. Curtfss
speech at the Holmes dinner and the late hour al Whch
the speaking commenced made tough rork for the
s.enogropkers WhO oae not able to ,ere up the Whoe
oJthe speech for The first edition Of THE TRIBUNE ycster
day morning. In the second il appeared IN full, and
COPIES Of this edition still be found at the counter.
The reputable residents of Long Island City
are to be congratulated on the result of the civil
proceedings against ex-Mayor De Bevoise.
This verdict of 100000 against him is the
first step in the accounting which that
suffering town has begun with the corrupt
and impudent politicians who have robbed her
10 long. Mr.. De BevOise was crushed by the
verdict yesterday, and wept bitterly. And yet
it is only few months since he cOolly set the
respectable element in Long Island City at de-
fiance, and laughed at the idea of reckoning.
Sympathy for such man is wasted.
The authorities of Springfield, ILL.,, can hardly
have kept close watch on the labor troubles

1t would that there are two sides to the ques-
ton of pensonng the teachers of the city, and it is
understood that difference Of opinion exists among
the teachers themselves as to the wisdom OF this
plan. On the one hand there many consdera-
tons in favor of rewardng long and faithful SER
vice. but il should be borne in mind that if the bill
for peusionng teachers is passed the existence Of
these pensions may be some time taken as an excuse
for cutting down salaries.

Now that the city has gone to the expense OF re-

there are no walks and the few scattered
stones here and there prove a delusion aud snare
to the vayfarer. On Thursday night these infre-

TEE SILVER DOLLAR.

b
President Arthur and his cabinet,
with other leading Republicans, are di-
rectipg their energies against the coin
age Of the silver dellar. In order to
weaken the purchasing power OF the
money of the poor man, they are max
ing statements that our silver dollar
contains less than eighty-five cents
worth Of silver in the markets Of the
werld. They proceed to argue that it
is folly in us to continue to coin large
amount Of currency of less value than
the worlds standard, and in case Of
csmmercial crisis, or the balance Of
trade being against US, that the soun-
try w0uld be drained of gold and that
the silver would then come into circd-
3atien and fix the standard of values to
the utter confusion of business and
general loss and damage. This sounds
very much like rehash Of the argu-
ments which were made use of by the
1obbers and stock gamblers who sough
to control the money of the country at
the time the silver bill was before Con-
gress. The fallaciousness of this kind
of logic Is apparent and the bug-bear
with which they then threatened the
country, exploded by the practical Uses
of the silver dollar IN carrying on the
commerce Of the country since the pas
sage Of the silver bill; withstanding
that an administration in the interest
of and controlled by the money power,
have constantly used the influence OF
their position to prevent general cir
culatien Of the silver money, and done
al that lay within their power to de-
uaenetize or lessen Its use as measure
ef value. They are now striving tc
avoid the further coinage of the silver
dellar and retire that which is alread,
in circulation, in order that the none,
pewsr may the more easily control tht
currency Of the country and thereby
csnpsl the people TO pay higher
slAlts to banking institutions FOR th'

OUR NAVY.

Ed. INDEPENDENT:-In leader ii
last weeks issue of your paper you
spoke of the inefficiency of our navy
and the contempt that it is held IN by
foreign nations. It's well that at least
Il portion OF the puhlic press of tLis
country has com mnenced to enlighten
The people on this important point, as
very many knew but little about naval
matters and seem to cass less. The
history ef this and other natioas points
to the fact that sooner or later this
country, notwithstanding its desire for
peace, will End Itself at war with some
naaratlme nation; and furthermore, that
when the struggle comes we may not
be looking Tor tive may be taken
unprepsred. Older nations than ours
have been continually preparing for
war and say that the strongest and
most convincing argument IN favor of
continuous peace is to be thoroughly
prepared for wa. See, for Instance,
the enormous war steamers Euslaud
has been constructing, such as the
Dreadnaught, Warrior and the lnh4xi
ble, with their 100 and 1000 pounds
Of steel shot fred from their 81 tor
| guns, and think of the short work they
made on the forts of Alexandria, v.hicl
In five hours made it possible for few
| blue Jackets and marines to take ant

but . few years since proud and impe-
rial France has been humbled ard de-
stroyed by the more thoroughly equip
ped German, with his immense krupI
guns.

The Irish Famine.

There is want and woe la Irsl nj
The famine is spreading from the sles-
olate coast to the interior. The distress
is great and increasing in Donegal and
along the Atlantic seaboard from Sligo
Bay to the Cliffs of Moher, in Glare,
taking in the Whole co..st of Mayo, along
the strands of Connemara through the
coast line of Galway, on By kinvara
and across the bay to Ballyyaushan and
Burren. Thence, say the accounts,
famine marks every step of progress by
Lisdorayama, Ennisty mon and Miltoun-
Malbay, and on to Doonbey. Kilkee and
Kilrnsh, and across the Shannon to
Kerry. This Is, however, only an liz
tensifying Of the distress that las been
more or less prevalent In all that district
during the last three years. Now the
cry Of want comes from the interior
Ennis and Coro6n aud Newmarket on
Fergus, in Glare, are dismally contem-
plating the Winter, and Ia Galway the
situation Is getting desperate. Lough-
r.a, once a thriving and prosperous
town, in the midst of a rich agricultural
district, sees the laboring portion OF its
population almost in a condition of
famine. A fortnight ago labcrers'
meeting declared that bread must be
had for starving children at any cost
Press dispatches, private letters and
Government reports concur in repre-
senting the state Of affairs at Loughrea
as disheartening. Portumna, further
on to the interior and on the banks of
the Upper Shannon, is almost as badly
off, Complaints are manifold of the
sad prospect in the not distant districts
Glare, Skariff and Feakle and Tomgran-
ey. Tt is said that, unless measures be
speedily taken to avert the danger, the
unhappy state of affairs existing at the
points stated win prevail in most of the
rural and sona of the urban districts
of Ireland. The Government is being
urged to provide works Of improvement
upon which the hungry laborers may
ba emnloyed. The Indications are that
the Winter viii be sad one in the
sorrowing isle.

The last railroad spike connecting
San Francisco and New Orleans was
driven at noon On she 18th inst. The
hopes entertained by the people that
tlis line would iii some degree relieve
them from the extortlon of the Central
Pacific have proved greundless as they
are both under one management and
governed by tho same principle, which
is to compel the shippers TO give two
thirds Of his. profits to the railroad cor
poration. The only relief that the great
Northwest can expect TO obtain is from
the Northern Pacific which We fear is j
slender thread unless it is subjected te
legislative control.

Civil Service Reform.

both houses of congress and will un-

ton, not only from Republicans, but
Democrats. The Democratic opposi-

bill would not accomplish the object
