these new private charters. Under these cir
cumstances unless we desire to see the
city stand still or retrograde while
she should be growing and prospecting, we
must use our best efforts to push forward oil
those improvements that are still within our
reach. Foremost among these are to be classed
the elaborate and well-considered plans of the
Dock Commission, which, if energetically car
ried out, will do more to perfect the metropo-
lis than has been accomplished in the last half
century. The commerce of New York is our
great strength. AS that increases our wealth
and importance increase, and every descrip-
ton of business receives an impulse. The
Dock Commissioners propose to make the
whole water front available for dockage and to
give facilities for warehousing and locomotion
by the construction of new streets along the
two rivers. The great scheme they have per-
feoted, when joined with certain needed
reforms In the handling Of freight
arriving in the city, will place New
York at the head of all the ports
of the world in facilities for landing and re-
ceiving cargoes as we'll as in safety. 1t only
needs a-wise lberality on the part Of the fnan-
cial branch of the city government to enable
the Dock Commissioners to proceed rapidly
with the splendid work they have laid out
and to place 1t 80 we'll in advance towards COM
pletion Is te render il secure from interruption
hereafter. There has been some delay in the
action Of the Board consequent upon q lack Of
the appropriations to which the law entities
them; but this withholding of funds was only
due to the uncertainty that prevailed as to
what the late Legislature might do with the
Commission. The danger of its abolition
or transfer to the hands Of politicians
is now over, and hence there is no
further reason why the Commissioners
should be embarrassed in tbeir. work for
has done SO much in the past to promote the
Improvement Of the city, will, no doubt DO
: willing, by liberal appropriations to the Dock
Department now, to make up for the delays
; they were subjected to last winter and spring,
and hence we expect to see their plans well
carried forward before another year COM
mences. If our dock improvements are in o
4 good state of progression when the next
: State Legislature assemblies it will serve the
cause Of rapid transit and render the construc-
ton of the city viaduct roads the more desir-
able and the more probable So let us have a
liberal financial policy in the city government,
and free scope to all honest and intelligent
plans of local improvement, commencing with
the splendid programme of the Dock Com
mission.

HE JEsuITs AND THE GERMAN CONFINEMENT -
cable despatch from Berlin gives us To
understand that bill is being prepared in the
Federal Council providing for the expulsion
of all Jesuits from Germany, even if natives.
All things considered, we are disposed to
believe this report It is well known that
Prince Bismarck since the close of the war has
regarded the Jesuits as his most bitter enemies
1t is his belief that they are opposed to the
unlhcation OF Germany, on the ground that
The unihcation of Germany will necessarily
nave the effect of Protestantizing the Catholic
States OF the South He has actually, as we
know, made discoveries which Justify this
belief We cannot blame Prince Bismarck for
uiSiikin8 his enemies and doing bis best to put
ihe,n. Gown; but we cannot say that we
approve OF the policy which threatens the
expulsion OF the Jesuits Expulsion means
persecution and persecution in this case as
1t ever has done, will defeat its own purpose.
prlnce Bismarck, ii he means TO win. will /
adopt another and wiser course The cause
Oh German unity is too grand and too noble,
and too much Of an accomplished fact to be
ruined by the frowns of the Vatican and the
paltry intrigses Of South German priests.

The Floods I'm Bohe mia.

We have by telegraph to-day additional de-
tails of the floods in Bohemia, OF which brief
mention was made at the close of last month.
1t now appears that these floods were far more
disastrous than was at first reported. The
rivers Elbe, Beraun and Moldau became swol-
len by the recent heavy rains, overhowed their
banks and swept over vast tracts Of country.
Fertile districts were devastated, crops de-
stroyed. and houses wore rendered desolate.

The Board OF Health and the Sanitar
Condition OF the City.

The Board OF Health and the Sanitary
Condition Of tho City.
We are glad to notice that the Board of
Health is giving signs of life and that steps
are about to be taken to abate some of the
most offensive nuisances which threaten the
health Of the population. Owing to the indiffer-
ence manifested by the authorities last year the
escape of the citizens from the scourge of con-
tagious diseases was due to the interposition of
Providence. No doubt Providence will always
be our best reliance but this in no way JUS
tifes the authorities Of crowded city for not
taking such precautions to avert the outbreak
|of pestilence as common prudence calls for. So
far as we can judge, the coming summer
months promise to be unusually hot and op-
pressive. Unless, therefore, vigorous mea-
sures be taken to secure cleanliness we may
look forward to terrible crop of fevers and
contagious.
AS we have before pointed out, the chief
danger to the health of the city lies in the
crowded districts, and il is to these that the
attention Of the authorities should be first
turned. The resolution adopted by the Board
for the suppression of offal docks, fat stores
and slaughter houses in the centre of the city
is eminently proper, and we hope to see it
vigorously enforced. These nuisances are
chiefly confined to the west side, but there are
other districts scattered through the city which
require no less strict attention. In many of
the poorer localities garbage is allowed to
accumulate until it becomes not only a
nuisance, but absolutely danger. The Board
!of Health would do we'll to have these filthy
streets thoroughly cleansed and purified. As
it is impossible to rely upon the people them
SELVES to exercise the precautions necessary to-
the general health the police ought to be
instructed to prevent the throwing Of ashes or
|other refuse matter into the streets under
|any pretence. In cases where the officer
does not actually see the offensive matter
deposited he might be enabled to summon the
owner Of the property before whose premises
the rubbish was placed to account for its pres
|ence, and by the wholesome restraint which
this supervision would impose or Tic I'LL;
tants Of the crowded districts state of proper
cleanliness could be maintained.
No precaution should be oIii;;..ttad to preserve
the population from the scourge of contagion
which in nine cases out of ten results from
Ineffective sanitary measures. The removal of
the soap factories, slaughter houses, &C., from
the city is wise precaution, and if the Board
will only exhibit the same thoroughness on all
other points we may hope for an unusually
healthy season. With It's splendid situation
New York ought to be absolutely free from the
danger of contagious diseases, and if we
make proper USE of the facilities that nature
has conferred upon us our city can be made as
wholesome rs summer garden. We hope,
therefore, that the Board Of Health will con-
tinue in the way it has entered upon, and that |
we may soon be able TO speak in testimony of
It's thorough effectiveness

pace. and throwing their backs into every

shivered under them, were these same distin-
guished foreigners. and from the way they
were doing their work it was manifest
that they had excellent ground for thinking

for moment under the western shore. Three

doing just the tallest rowing that ever was done

stake at the centre of the course. Why. actu-
ally these slab-sided countrymen are turning
it first; yes, by three good lengths. All but
the Englishmen can stay, and these fellows are
sure to go to pieces on the homestretch. Now
follow them, and look how they are just flying
away down along that same homestretch
Every thew and sinew in every man in either

man there fairly agonizing to be in first at the

as it says, il really thinks they have lost it,
might it not be well enough to just give these
Ward brothers another try and seer "We
hope the Americans will learn how to row;
then they may put our oarsmen to severer
