cHILDREY,S FAIRS AND VACATIOyS

One Of the most noteworthy feat1res OF IHE
TRIBUNE Fresh-A Fund is the leaiiug part taken
by the children themselves in replenishing the
treasury For several years good share II DOT inc
bulk of the contributions has been derived Hoih
fairs and entertainments and enterprises OF many
kinds managed by children IL the money received
from this source had been withheld last season. INC
work would have been greatly restricted ana not
more than one-balf of the children of the tenement
world who taken out OF the city during the
heated period would have enjoyed their fortnights
vacation The entertainments had wide range.
Two little girls with a table on the sidewalk
covered with pinv heels and homemade toys were
able to send dollar or two for the Fund as tho
gross profits of their enterprise: and from this low
est point the returns from chIldrens fairs and ger
mans would rise to h1ndreds of dollars. In one
instance nearly $1,000 was sent to THE TRIBUNE
by few little girls in of the city churches as
the outcome of a determined and well-pIanned
effort 10 interest Peep Elm this beautiful charity.
Generous contributions were received from sum-
resorts in che mountains and on the coast
where the children of the weli-tojo contrived to
and entertain themselves and their elders ana
at the same time to increase She resources OF IHE
TRIBUNE Fresh-A Fund. Already acknowledg-
ment has been made of receipts from many chill

them 80 seats and still have a majority in the
new House. To be exact, the loss OF 81 seats

Conservatives and Liberal Unionists majorit.

candidates are classed as Liberals and the Lib

Unionists must gain SIS seats from the Glad

The preponderance of Conservative and LIB

gives them momentarly lead in the lists OF
elected members; but as our regular London
correspondent points ont IN his cable letter. this
advantage isnot decisive. The Conservatives

polling last year, but Hodge in the country dis

MORE REFORM BACKYARD.

The Indian Rights Association and the Board
of Indian Commissioners have for some little
time been vainly endeavOring to find out why
the President removed Mr.. William II. Lyon
from the last named board. The Indian Rights
Association, not having the fear of the official
1uillotine before their eyes, have issued pro-
fest against the removal in which they set
forth facts iustifying the conclusion that the
nrincple of Civil Service reform had nothing
To do with Mr.. Ceveland's action in the case.
They show that Mr. Lyon has been particu-
larJy useful member of the Indian Board. A
letter quoted says of him: Mr.. Lyons ser
@vices have, for ten years, been of great value
q to the Government and the Indian. His pro-
@nounced ability as merchant, his wise ana
rare Judgment, his skill in the selection OF
northumberland his unlmpeachable integrity,
aadmirably fitted him for the position OF chair
man of the Purchasing Committee of the
aboard. He has given freely many months Of
sservice 10 our mercantile department and half
"a million dollars would not cover the sum
saved by the Government through his wise,
slirm administration
Strange that such a man should be removed
without any cause being given, but perhaps the
following observation, taken from the letter
onoted above, may afford a clew to the mystery:
.Mr. Lyon has stood in the way Of host of
contractors who, by his knowledge and skill,
Shave been shut out from the opportunities
sthey once enjoyed of securing large profit
from the Government. Whether they have
secured his removal or not ! cannot tell"
Neither can we, but to such as are capable OF
distinguishing a hawk from handsaw the
inference from the facts is apt tn be anything
but ambiguous Mr. Lyon protected the Gov
eminent interests He has been removed with
out accusation or explanation. In his place has
been appointed man who, in the words of the
prot. /, "has, given no indication of having
such knowledge of Indian affairs, or such
interest in the progress of Indian civilization.
as would especially enttle him to occupy his
spresent position" In word, a useful, eff
Gent man has been removed to make room for
dummy who Will not stand between the con-
tractors and the Government. Score another
point for President Cleveands special and par
ticGar kind of Civil Service refOrm-patent
applied for.

west and most Of the Southern States, fully de-
veloped summer weather has reigned for several
weeks; and in the great wheat belt slight fears OF
drouth were excited. But in tho North Atlantic
States the season, though generally delightful, has
been singusrly COOL None of those bursts OF torrid
heat which VIC expect In June were experienced
In this vicinity. for instance, the temperature did
not rise above $50 last month"; although IN April last
it touched SO. Normally there is difference
between the two months of over 200. Rarely does
the mercury fail TO get into the Dneties IN juno
hereabouts, and it has even reached 1902. This
COOL moist weather has delayed the rush to summer
resorts and depressed the excursion business. but it
has conduced to health and comfort and, coming
after an early spring, has benefited most crops
especially hay.
