THE CHILDREN And THE HEATED TERM.

LIE tHILDhEN 1hD JHE ma ~ iEhM'
Generous response has been made since the
beginning of the week to the appeal for TIE
TRIBUNE Fresh-Air Fund, but more money is
required, and promptly. Hundreds of children
are being sent out ut short intervals, and next
week the manager desires to dispatch an un-
usually large number to the country. The
good people in the rural districts have shown
and are showing wonderful eagcrncss and
en-handedness in receiving the little ones.
The mails every day bring shoals of letters
asking that children shall be sent to the writer's,
and the best possible evidence of the good be-
havior of the little visitors consists in the fact
that nearly everybody who had any of them last
year wants the same children sent to them
again now. But time is precious, and oppor-
tunities lost cannot be recovered. The Late
prolonged heated spell caused great prostration
among the children of the poor in the city.
They could obtain no relief night or day from
the cxhausting heat, and nearly two weeks with
the mercury in the ninetics was more than
enough to sap the strength of children previ-
ously weakened by insufficient nourishment
Overcrowding and all the hardships of poverty.
In too many instances the hot weather sets all
preservatyc measures at defiance, AID the poor
little things droop, collapse and die under 1t in
a few hours. Doubtless many of even the most
feeble might have been saved could they have
been removed in time to the cool, fresh, sweet
air of the country, but they are so many and the
means of helping them, despite the generous
gifts of the public, are inadequate. Yet this is
the worst period of the year, and the time when
the greatest efforts need to be made, and since
there can be no more beneiccnt expenditure
made by any one, since in fact every dollar SO
bestowed may save life, we do not feel it
possible to be too urgent in our appeals for
further aid for the Fresh-Air Fund.-
Over $4,000 has been subscribed this
season, and nearly all of it has been expended
in sending children into the country. Double
the money is needed to do what should be done,
aud those who give Of their superabundance
must bear in mind that the good people in the
country are after all undertaking tho most
0nerous part Of the WORK. at the same time that

STRIKES AND VIOLENCE.

II is only few days since the strife between
employers and employed, in the lumber regions
of Michigan and in the iron regions OF ONO,
resulted in violence and disorder. These con-
troyersies have hardly been settled, If indeed
they have yet made real progress toward settle
ment. but already new strikes Of considerable
importance. such as that of the shopmen on the
Wabash Railway and that of the carpet
weavers In Philadelphia, are announced
Is there sound reason for this unusual fire.
ouency of strikes Is it not true that the
business of the country is greatly depressed
Surely there is proof enough in the fact that a
large proportion of establishments In many OF
the leading branches of industry are closed
because they cannot be kept In operation with
out loss. Many others are adding to their
losses with every day that they continue in
operation, and have passed dividends and not
a few corporations have been forced into bank
ruptcy. Surely at such time it ought not to be
difficult to convince intelligent workmen that
the employers have unusual difficulties to over
come.
Looking at the other side, is it not true that
the wages paid have at present greater pur-
chasing power than usual Prices OF ali I'm
pOrtant products are unusually low all over The
country. Certainly it cannot be said that the
working people find that the dollar will buy less
now than it would buy five years or ten years
ago. On the contrary, it may be doubted
whether, unless for a month or two at time,
the purchasing power of the dollar was ever
greater than it is now. Yet there has been no
such decrease in the general rate of wages paid
within the past three years as there has been in
the level of prices. Is this time to be extreme
and obstinate in demands for higher wages :
In not a few cases, the workingmen must be
able to see that persistency in their demands
will tend to PROSTATE the industry upon which
their employment depends In better times, when
employers are securing large profits, and busi-
ness is brisk and growing, the sympathy OF the
public is generally with the labOrers, because il
is felt that the employers can probably afford to
pay more in such times than they had previ-
ously paid. But in times of unusual depression,
is it strange if intelligent observers lean in
most cases to an opposite Judgment

they are doing their full share in material con-
tributiOns. But it is work which comes 10
fascinate all who engage in 1t, for it ministers
to the highest and purest needs OF human
nature, and it rewards the workers in the most
suilicing way in the enjoyment of the happiness
of Innocent and helpless sufferers. 10 see the
tenemont-house pallor and premature anxiety
and care fade from the worn faces OF these poor
children; to see the rapt ecstacy produced IN
them by the unimagiued beauties OF grass ana
water and waving trees and loneliness OF
scenery; to watch the glow of health growing
upon their fast-roundng cheeks, and the light
Of happy childhood stealing into their haggard
eyes-thesc sights are more than enough COM
pensaton for the trouble the patient and easily
pleased little visitors give.
There should be no one industrious OF tasting
such fresh and pure pleasures, and all can share
them by helping The TRIBUNE Fresh -Ar
Fund. 1t is in such enterprises, too, that the
genuineness and depth of our civilization are
most thoroughly tested. Hitherto the response
to appeals has been nobly liberal, but the battle
against sickness and death is not ephemerai'
and the "cry of the children ascends still.

4 SAD RESULT OF THE HOT WEATHE

Il SAD RESULT OF The HOT WEATHER.
The Chicago Tribune'S strangely incandescent
article upon the selection of NewYork as the
burial-place of General Grant must we con-
clude, be regarded as an effect of the hot
weather, for there is certainly nothing in the
facts of the situation to account for its furious
outburst. 1t is well known that when the
human system is demOralized by physical dis
comforts the reasoning faculties often become
torpid, and an abnormal irrtability is created
which vents itself upon everything within
reach. 1t is of course impossible to treat with
seriousness. or to regard as responsible, a
journal which denOunces New-YOrk as "a
plague-spot on the body polite" and an I'M
American and un-National city," simply be-
cause the family of General Grant have decided
that he shall be buried here The utter incOn-
sequence and absurdity of the attack merely
serve to demonstrate the extremely depressing
effects of the heated term Oh the shores of Lake
Michigan.
Of course everybody knows that Chicago is
not only great commercial emporium. but a
great moral example, and when there is real
demand for lesson in ethics or a discourse
upon social virtues, all the world instinctively
looks that way for the fitting observations. But
even in Chicago the hot weather produces bad
effects, converting philosophers into common
scolds, and supplanting reason with rant. 1t
also induces precipitation in writing which
tends 70 confusion OF ideas, and altogether has

Jacob Sharp appears. In court he now crops out
as the Twenty third Street Railroad Company.
Although that corporation is far from the switches

explained by the fact that the company Is the
lessee of the Bleecker-st. read Then we are toid
that the Bleecker-st. hne-Jacob Sharp-has an
