malignity toward the President which ac-
tuates the Post and few other journals is
not shared by the general public, who recog-
nize in the President a man who was sud
denly called to most trying position, who
has had very little fair play extended to him
by large section of the press, who from the
first has been exposed to systematic mis-
representation and slander, but who has in
the main striven faithfully to do his duty
toward the country. We may fairly look for
still better results from his administration as
his time of service goes on-but even now,
contrast him with the Democratic candidate,
Governor Hoffman, and see who is most en-
titled to the confidence and respect of the
country. The Democrats would unsettle the
entire domestic policy of the nation, and
there is no proof whatever that they would
not even revive the reputation projects of
1868. And yet Republicans are running a
race with each other to see which can help
Democrats the most Papers like the Post
far surpass the Dem ocratic World in pig
headed hostility to the President. We believe
that the people look upon these tactics with
indignation, and that the time is coming
when they will cause their opinions to be felt
by the journals which are now conspiring for
the overthrow of Republican rule, and the
elevation to the chief place of authority of
the confederate of James Fisk, Jr., and the
Tammany clique.

The New York code obliges all companies in
that State to lend their funds within the State
limits, and while Ohio, Illinois, and other
States we're offering eight per cent. interest
and the best of real estate securities, the New
York insurance men we're obliged to loan
their funds at four, five, and six per cent.
More than this, the Western States have re-
belled at the injustice of allowing New York
to swallow up, year after year, the millions
paid in premiums by Western policy holders-
and have warmly welcomed a new class of
companies which, organized under the laws
of Connecticut, propose to lend half their
premium receipts in the States from which
they are received.
The eagerness with which this concession
has been received in Western cities has
awakened the agents of New York companies
to the necessity of securing similar ad-
vantage, and at their instgation the New
York insurance officers are besiegng Albany
for permission to lend part of their premiums
in the States and cities from which they are
received. How important a change is hereby
contemplated will be understood from the
statement that Ohio alone sends East every
year more than two millions of dollars in life
insuran9 policies. Either the Eastern COM
panies must return part of this fund to be
loaned to our merchants and manufacturers,
or Ohio and other Western States will pro-
vide arrangements of their own by which the
money they pay for insurance can be kept at
home, The Albany Assembly has not yet
yielded assent on this point, but the strength
with which it has been urged shows that the
case is correctly understood and must soon
be properly adjusted.

THE AGE OF STATUES AND THE AGE OF
BRASS
From the N. Y. HCrald.

BRASS.
From the NJ Y. HCrald.
We have received a nicely printed circular
inviting us to contribute our aid towards
the construction of statue representing our
well-known fellow-citizen, William M. Tweed,
State Senator, Commissioners of the Depart
ment OF Public Works, etc. etc. The pro-
ject is endorsed by such distinguished
gentlemen as Richard O'Gorman and other
Irish patriots.
Now, if Mr.. Tweed had departed from this
to another and a better world, full of years
and honors, we do not know but we might
encourage the erection of some suitable
monument to his memory. Mr.. Tweed, how
ever, has relieved us by modestly refusing to
be thus honOred-at least with his consent.
Indeed, he forbids it altogether.
Nevertheless, if the worshippers of Mr..
Tweed are determined to do him up in marble,
iron, or brass, why not 60 further and give
all our prominent local politicians and nabobs
chance for this kind of posthumous glory,
so that the statues of our living men may be
found, like the old town pumps, at almost
every corner! Peter b. Sweeny and Mayor
Hall are pre-eminently entitled to the honor.
Judge Hilton, Robert j. Dillon, Thomas @.
Fields ought to be ''statooed" for the work
they have already accomplished in conjune-
tBon with Mr.. Sweeny, in oInamenting our
public parks. Who SO we'll deserve the CRATE
ful remembrance OF their fellow-oitizens as
these gentleneng Central Park, City Hall
Park, the Battery, Bowling Green, in fact all
our public parks and places, might with pro-
priety be adorned with their statues. The
Department of Public Docks should not be
forgotten. 1t might be represented by a

Referring to the amounts of personal property
returned for taxation, as published in THE STAR
of Saturday, it seems proper to state that the
sums there given include, in many instances, the
par value of stocks, etc, which have little OF no
intrinsic value, and from which no income is re-
ceived. We doubt not that large number OF
the gentlemen whose names are given would be
glad TO close out their personal possessions for
sum far less than the figures with which they are
credited in the list as published; and on the
other hand the names of many individuals who
might reasonably be expected to stand near the
head of such roll are not found at all. Whether
this omission is due to the errors of the copying
clerks or TO the failure of the individuals them
selves TO respond TO the request OF the assessors
We leave the public TO guess.

1t is to be regretted that those persons in our
midst who are just now demanding enlarged
suffrage, OF, rather, greater number of elective
officers in the District are not able to carry OH
their deliberations without the disgraceful
scenes which have characterized the primary
meetings held in some of the wards of the city
during the past week or ten days. These pro-
eeedinGs have been in the highest degree dis
oreditable, alike to the participants and to the
city at large. and must have a tendency to de-
feat rather than secure what, under other cir
cunstanees, would &c conceded to be Just and
reasonable demand. But sell-respect, if no
higher motive, should prompt dIscontinuance
Of such riOtous and disgraeeful manifestations.
Only evil can come from them.

Washington las but one hook and ladder com.

Washington has but one hook and ladder COM
pany, and the occurrence of two extensive fires
at the same tiue, or one after the other In quick
succession. a. in Chicago, might result most dis
astrously in destruction of property and loss of
life, for want of another truck. The importance
ofimmediate action to remedy this defect in our
otherwise well organized Fire Department will
not be questioned, and We trust the measure
proposed by Fire Commissioner McDevitt at the
last meeting Of the Board, may be successfully
contaminated without delay. The federal gov
eminent has a seryiceable truck at the Wash
ingtOn arsenal. and Mr.. McDevitt moved, and it
was agreed to, that a committee inquire of the
military authorities whether they will not turn
II over TO the District Fire Department He
said, in making the motion, that during the
winter the truck of the department may get out
OF repair, OF may be disabled on a run to a fire,
and that the consequences might be very serious.
The transfer Of the truck viii not increase the
isk Of loss by fire at the arsenal, for there is no
doubt whatever that our active and thoroughly
drilled fremen would be able to run the sppa-
ratus to a confagrstiOn there and get it in action
sooner than gang of unframed employees at the
post could make 1t servieeable, even if it was
housed in the yard.

To the everlasting discredit of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, that extortionate
monopoly raised its rates to Chicago after the
fire had destroyed the business portion of the
City and telegrsphic communication became
more important well as more difficult. To
be sure, Ii is explained that this only continued
for short time, and that the extra charge was
made under the pretext of covering "the ex-
pense of hunting up persons who had no fixed
place of business or other known address," but
the damaging fact remains that a wealthy cor
poratiOn profted by a Providential dispensation
to speculate upon the necessities and anxieties
Of those who were connected by relationship or
business concerns with the doomed city, and
who were bound by every tie of affection and
interest TO use that medium of communication
at any cost. Money acquired in this way may
swell dividends, but it can hardly be considered
clean, or likely to be of much substantial use to
its recipients.
