THE INCREASE OF THE POLICE FORCE
The bill for the increase of the police force,
which was reported favorably in the Assembly
some time ago, was on Tuesday recommitted
to the Committee on Cities. The Governor
lately vetoed bill to appoint president pro
tenn. of the Commission, and the referring back
of the Police bill to the committee is said to be
aruse on the part ofcertain individuals to have
clause appointing president pro tenn. tackled
on to it. As Mr.. Acton's leave Of absence
viii expire in month or two, and as the Com
mission have got along very well so far with
out visible head centre, there does not
appear to be any necessity for the appointment
of any such official at present The bill for
the increase Of the force is q good one as ft
stands, and should be passed; but the action
of the ''recommitters" may kill 1t eHtectually.
After all, II the Commission cannot well live
without president pro tem., why not appoint
one Of the present Commissioners to the posi-
tion and thus end the mattcrf Better this
than TO load the bill with a clause certain TO
cause its veto.

incomprehensible Pacific Railroad dispute IL

We give to-day in another column the state
ment of an American gentleman, who has just
arrived from Cuba, narrating his personal
experience in . ride Of three hundred miles
through the insurgent districts from Puerto
Principe to Havana, and who was shown
through the revolutionary camp with the
express injunction that he should come and
tell the HERALD what he saw and heard.
He has complied with his promise, and our
readers now have his statement before them.
1t is plain narration and is entitled to credit
and consideration. From personal observa-
ton he is impressed with the belief that the
Cubans will succeed in driving the Spaniards
out of the country, but will want more and
better arms than they now have before they
can capture the fortified ports and harbors.
Inasmuch as the armament for these ports
and the ammunition are largely sent from
here by every steamer for Havana, 1t will be
no more than common justice that we let
the Cubans have some also, with the bel
ligerent right to use them. These are what
Spain was in haste to grant to the Con-
federates in the late war, and it is our turn

COLLECTOR OF THE PogT OF New YORK.
Mr.. Moses II. Grinnell, the well known mer-
chant and gentleman Of excellent reputa-
ton, has been nominated by President Grant
for the post Of Collector Of the Port Of New
York. The varied and extensive commercial

affected by faithful or dishonest discharge Of
the duties OF this Office render IL In every way
desirable that Mr.. Grinnell should accept the

The Purity Of the Fountains OF Educa-
ton.

The Purity Of the Fountains OF Educn-
We have a large number of public schools in
this city. For their support and maintenance
the taxpayers have to be largely assessed.
Over three millions are demanded for the
educational fund the present year. What are
our citizens to expect from this outlay2 The
fountains of education must be kept pure and
unpolluted, else there will flow therefrom
stream whose poisonous waters will permeate
and damage every relation Of political and
social life. Hence arises the necessity for the
exercise Of discretion in the selection OF
members of the Board Of Education. That
Board should never have been allowed TO
become partisan organization. The matter
of educating the rising generation is one that
attaches to no particular party; but any
party that ignores or tampers miserly with
the subject must suffer ingominious failure.
In order to secure the advantages which
the expenditure Of a large sum Of money
might demand for educational purposes the
people expect Board of Education composed
of gentlemen of solid substance and personal
responsibility. The proposed new Board may
be an Improvement upon the old; but the
very movement for change shows that
reform is necessary. In Governor HoG-
man we have sensible chief magis-
trate who will not allow his prejudioes
to lead him astray in this matter of educational
reform. He has the ability to grasp the sub
ject and the good sense to use that ability to
the advantage of our municipality. The Tam
many ring is divided. There is rift in 1t that
will require time and exquisite manipulation
and Water street-between the Sixteenth and
Sixth wards, ringing in the First by way Of
giving Supervisor Hank Smith word 10 say.
Now why cannot the Board of Education be
constituted upon the plan on which the Cen
trail Park Commission operates2 That COM
mission has given extraordinary satisfaction TO
the whole community and added largely to the
prosperity not only of the city and of the
State but to that of the whole country. A
Board of Education might be selected from
such men as Royal Phelps, Moses Taylor,
Moses II. Grinnell, Marshall 0. Roberts,
A. I. Stewart and number of others who
would stand the test of scrutiny and present
an invulnerable bulwark against all sorts Of
corruption. With such men as these at the
head Of the fountains Of education there need
be no fears that the stream flowing therefrom
will not be one of social health and political
prosperity. The eyes of the friends Of our
great educational system rest upon Governor
Hoffman.

The New SPANISH CoSsTITUTIoS.-At
length certain order seems TO be growing
out OF the chaos OF the Spanish revolution.
The committee appointed to draft new con-
stitution reported yesterday to the Cortes. II
Is proposed that the future form Of govern
ment shall be monarchical-a result for which
we were not unprepared. Provision is made
for Senate and Congress the Senatorial
term to be thirteen years, the Senator's, four
from each province, to be elected by provi-
sional councils the Parliaments to be trien-
nial and universal suffrage TO be the rule
the King 10 reign for eighteen years. The
majority Of the committee favored separation
Of Church and State, while minority advo-

STOLEN PROPERTY in the Supreme Court
the other day il was decided that banker
who had taken gold certificate for five thou
sand dollars which he had been notified was
stolen was not responsible for the amount 10
the person who had been robbed of the ccrtiG :
cate, because the notification Of the theft was
not accurate in the description Of the pro-
perty. and because IL is not reasonable that
cashiers should be required to remember such

has been gifted to 1t from private sources since
1860, or which has no marketable value. All
other property shall be taken up by the gov
ernment. The income OF the Irish Church is
about seven hundred thousand pounds ster-
ling year. About seven millions win be
given the Church as compensation for
the loss Of its property. The Presby-
terians in the shape Of Rcgium Donum re-
ceive some fifty thousand pounds year.
Existing incumbents among them are to
be treated like the Episcopalians. They are
all to have life annuitles, provided they con-
tinue to discharge their duties In addition to
this the money now given annually in aid of
the Widows Fund and of the Belfast College
Is to be represented by a sum fourteen times
the amount, paid down at once. Maynooth re-
ceives some twcnty-six thousand pounds annu-
ally. For this the Roman Catholics are to
receive sum fourteen times the amount BY
the year 1881 1t is expected that the
separation Of Church and State will be com
plete: that the Church will have fairly entered
upon her new career; that the government
will have converted the Church property into
cash. will have met all its obligations and will
be In possession Of seven millions OF surplus
money. This surplus seven millions is to be
devoted in variety Of ways to the benefit Of
the poor Of Ireland.
Such in brief Is Mr.. Gladstone's bill.
Passed into law IL will have certain effect in
reconciling the Irish people to English rule.
The great lesson which the Introduction Of
such bill into the British Parliament reads
to the world is this That the State Church
system Is doomed. What Is about TO be done
for ireland will ere many years roll past be
done for Scotland. and England will follow.
