Health should order al cargoes Of Sags to be

and let Q regular mart be established
there for the sale Of this material, without
bringing it into the city at all. In Paris and the
other leading cities of Europe there are mar
kets established for the sale Of certain articles,
and everybody who wants to purchase knows
exactly where to 60. It would be well for us
to learn from the experience of older countries
which had TO meet these difficulties and have
overcome them. There are many sanitary
measures which we might adopt from the sys-
tens which operate successfully in Europe.
For instance, the slaughter houses have been
banished TO the suburbs of Paris. Why not
drive the rag repositories and other dangerous
nuisances out Of the city of New York; We
trust that the Board Of Health will take imme-
diate action upon this matter II is not too

The DUTIES OF THE BOARD OF HEALrH.-THE
Board of Health was in conference yesterday
with the junk and rag dealers, with a view Of
removing what may be regarded as one Of the
greatest nuisanccs most liable to introduce
contagious diseases into the city. 1t is well
known that quantities Of rags are stored away
in Easements in the most populous districts
For the most part these rags come from Italy
or Constantinoplc, precisely the places which
furnish most abundantly the germ Of infection;
and as long as those seeds Of disease are kept
in the midst Of the city there Is really no guar
ansee Of safety Dor the community. The
Board Of Health has already decided to
abolish Washington Market a. nuisance. In

*The Journal Of Commerce return Detective the last
quarter not being in.
The HERALD returns are immensely larger
than those Of any other journal, and it is to be
noted of the HERALD returns that they are all
for bona Jade advertisements declaring the
wishes or necessities Of the public. This is not
the case with all the papers In this list Some
of them have no existence before the public at
all, and their returns only state the amount Of ad
vertising they have done for the Common Coun-
Gil Several have their otherwise small returns
greatly swelled by this display of Corporation
patronage. But the HERALD returns are not
swelled in this way, and they indicate, there
fore, the immense superiority Of this paper over
all others as an advertising medium. Our re-
turns Of circulation have hitherto shown that
the HERALD is the great newspaper Of the
country, that the vast majority of the people
buy it to get the news; and these returns now
make it equally clear that the great mass Of
advertisers wishing to reach the public also
choose the HERALD as the means. AS the for
mer returns showed that our circulation was
equal to the aggregate circulation Of all other
papers of the same class so these also show that,
setting aside the Corporation business, the
amount of advertising done in the HERALD is
equal to that done by all the other papers of
the same class taken together. Thus it is seen
that the HERALD is the great chosen organ of
the public for both the purposes accomplished
by journal All the great public wishing to
know what is going on in the world reads the
HERALD, and every man who has anything to
sell or to rent, or who wishes to buy, or desires
in any other way to be put in communication
with the social and business world, advertises
in the HERALD and accompanies his object.
The HERALD is on this side the Atlantic the
great organ of the public, as the London Times
has been in the British empire.

The Pacfnc Railroads.&c. Ncceaalty for
Concentrating all Efforts on One Line.
TIE Pacific Railroad is vast enterprise that
will in the future be greatly identified with
the development of the wealth Of this con-
tinent; and it is, therefore, much to be desired
that all the ideas and plans in relation to this
enterprise, as well % all the energy and money
that the country can give it, should be concen-
trated on one line. The divi'ion Of the ma
tional purpose and power in this respect will
retard the scheme for years, If it does not in
definitely defeat it. There are now three pro-
jected lines-by a northern, a southern and a
central route. If all the means to build q road
were concentrated on one line it could not be
built in less than five years; 1t may, therefore,
readily be seen how far this noble idea is from
realization If each OF the companies, insisting
upon It's own project, shall induce the public
to listen to it If these companies 20 on, each
with its separate establishment and plan, and
Issue stock and get the public money and grants
Of land, they will DO able only to defeat each
other.
If the directors and managers Of these several
lines are really animated by the desire to build
the great line across the continent, a simple
consideration Of their own interests will show
the necessity for . consolidation Of their
enterprises. The country Is not rich
enough TO build three lines, and there
must be one line or, three failures
On the one hand, If they unite, the scheme Of
such railroad is feasible-it is a thing that
can be realized. The country will see this
will come 10 its support-and the road will be
built But If the lines 60 on separately the
whole scheme will have to be given up by the
country as visionary, and the people will have
10 consider that money subscribed for II il
money thrown away. The directors have II in
their own power TO remove their enterprises
from the number Of things visionary to that Of
things real. viii they do III Will they con
tinue their operations on paper like true bubble
makers, or will they, like practical men, do the
only thing that will enable them to build the
road? All the power Of the several plans
must, for the common good, be united on the
most feasible route. 1t lies with Congress Il
determine the question whether there shall be
Pacific road or not by Its action in this re

to exercise very discrcetly its power to gran

in that way II may make this line, that ought Il

all tie gas companies in Brooklyn could and
probably would result with advantage to all
concerned. Aside from the two so-cailed mu-
tual charters-one for Brooklyn and one for
New York-now before the Legislature, there
are only four gas companies chartered by spe-
cial acts in the State, all Others are organized
under the general law. These four companies
should be compelled to organize under the
general law, and hereafter no gas company
should be chartered by special act The gas
companies Of this State have grown to enor-
nous proportions. The time has come when
they should all be placed upon Q common foot
ing. and each held under strict restrictions es-
tablished by general act. In establishing new
regulations for gas companies, they should be
required TO furnish hight in public thorough
fares gratis, or at nominal charge to the dty.
This is but fair when tlss city gives to them he
use Of the streets in laying pipes to supply
private consumers. But whatever may be ths
views Of consumers on these points, one thing
is certain; that Is, gas reform IL imperaHvely
demanded, and the Legislature should not sd-
journ without shaping ont some means tcreacb
the object in view.

The Derby Ministry hAs been installed.
After years Of Liberal rule the Tories have
gained the English Government through ths
detection of Liberal representatives. Great
indignation, manifested in violent popular
demonstrations by the English masses, is the
result. Had the English people shown the
same earnestness in the matter Of Reform
that they have since its defeat and the over
throw of Lord RussELL's administration, the
Reform Bill would have carried.
The defeat of the Reform measure of 1880,
followed by great popular disturbances, led,
two wears later, to its adoption. The dem
onstrations in London and the other cities;
the cheers and laudstions with which Rus.
SELL, GLADSTONE, MILL, BRIaHr, and the
other Liberal leaders have been greeted wher-
ever they appeared the misses and hcotings
with which the Earl Of Derby, Lord Dun
KELIIS and the Tory leaders and renegade
liberals have been followed to their homes by
maddened crowds, are indexes'of prevailing
popular sentiment in England, and forbode
the early overthrow of the Tory sdministra'
ton.
The attitude, and prevailing sentiment Of
the English masses during our civil war
showed that Liberalism had the ascendency.
That sentiment has been intensified by our
success in putting down the rebellion and
maintaining the Union. In the organization
of his Cabinet, Lord DERBY-frm Tory as he
is, aristocratic, and without any sympathy
with the lnboring classes, believingas he does
that the aristvcracy alone have political rights
To be maintained, and that no man that La
bors should have voice in the government
even Lord DERBY had sagacity to comp6-
mise or repress his Toryism and seek to- An
fuse slight liberal element into the organi-
zation of his Cabinet. Whether this will be
able to infuse any enduring vitality in it which
shall preserve it from early defeat remains to
be seen.
Meantime GLADSTONE, Mill, BgIGHr, Rus
SELL are too determidly pledged to reform to
let the matter rest. English public mind is
in good condition to be worked upon, and
the Liberal leaders will take advantage of
the situation. There is no going back now in

FOUR YEARS OF REPUBLICAN, RULE.
Poets being frequently Of philosophical
bent of mind and observant Of social and po-
htical phenomena have impressed upon us in
measures of various merit, the fact that life
is in achievements not in years. That is q
wholesome and elevating proposition that we
do not at all feel disposed to cautiously con-
trovert. In fact it has occurred to us as a
very pretty poetical text for consideration of
the record of the Republican Party.
Venerable with years come unto Us the
fossils Of the reconstructed regime; and in
vading with ruthless sacrilige the abodes of
American patriot dead, they claim descent
from Mr.. Jefferson, and glorify themselves as
the legitimate perpetuation of Jeffersonian
democracy from his days down unto this pres
ent.
The Republican party offsets the long years
of democratic rule by four years Of national
administration. Oftheir record during those
years they are justly proud.
They have passed the American people ont
from under the control of that slave domino.

ment, had made one section the unblushing
champion OF the most accursed system of
