what is vastly more to us, shall not make us
unhappy by the story Of their suffering or re-
buke our littleness by the nobleness of their
sacrifices.
No; we put on airs whom we talk In pity
ing way of these explorers and navigators /;
we assume too much when we call them fool
hardy, or undertake to weigh the results of
their lorg and weary voyages against the pri-
vati0ns and dangers and the death they cost.
1t is not for us to put the puny scales of our
judgment TO such tests. For however small
and insignificant these results may seem to
us, we cannot weigh them here and now.
Their influence reaches further forward into
time than we can see. Their contributions TO
science are longer and broader than to-day.
And even If they bring US back no new
acquisitions that shall be the Sepping-stones
Of future discovery, they have done better
than any of us who spend our days buying
and selling and getting gain. They enrich
history with such great examples of devotion
and sacrifice as will make the world better
worth the living in, and humanity better
worth the wearing 1t is not for US to say
there shall be no more Arctic voyages. Let
us be a little more modest.

advise that body, as the Constitution of the
United States requires. to call upon the Presi-
dent to protect the State of Louisiana from
domestic violence.
When this has been done the duty OF the
President will be plain too. In deciding to
install Mr.. Kellogg as Governor of Louisiana,
Gen. Grant undertook to sustain him in exc
cutting the functions of the office, to give him
all the troops he needed, and to put down all
resistance to his authority. He cannot now
retreat from the position he voluntarily as
sumed. It is an ungracious, an odiOus position ;
but it is too late to change it. We cannot
suffer Louisiana to drift into anarchy, and at
present there seems to be no choice for her
except between anarchy and military despot-

TBE ALDERMEN IN THEIR TENTS.

The failure of the Aldermen to confirm the
nominations already made by the Mayor, and
their adjournment until next Monday, when the
time allotted for makingnominatOns expires, are
the result of unanimous resolution OF the
Aldermen to do nothing more until their own
claims are satisfied. Ii is a D0g-in-the- Man
ger policy on their part. They assert that there
shall be no Reform that does not provide their
friends with places and themselves with pat
rOnage.
The fears of true refOrmers exaggerated the
danger last night. The accounts of the various
newspapers this morning will doubtless err in
the same direction; we fancy our own report,
published elsewhere, somewhat distorts the
danger and makes it appear really greater than
it seems, but we do not modify what eye-wit-
nesses saw and heard of the conflict The
simple truth appears to us to be--and we
think all friends of honest government will
recognize it before the week is ended-that the
Aldermanic Board is composed of such incOn-
gruOus clements that a strong, determined
combination is impractical and impossible.
There are in the Board four Custom-bouse peO-
pie, four Tammany Hall Democrats, two Apollo
Hall Democrats, two Reform German Republi-
cans one Reform German Democrat, etc; and
to combine these except upon one basis is
impossible. This basis is the one upon
which they united temporarily to postpone
confirmation. They want to know what they
are to get before they go any further in
giving patronage. They are unwilling to
accept in good faith, ~ the public does, Mayor
Havemeyer's past nominations as indicative of
his fixed purpose and future policy. They are
had eli
able-to recognize the City's just right to
Reform Commissioners in all departments as
superior to their own claim for petty patron
age in each office.
They will come ID recognize this before
next Monday. The apparent combination of
yesterday will be broken by that time, and
dissensiOn and CONSERVATION will prevail
before the Aldermen again meet. The natural,
irrepressible expression of public opinion will
produce this result. 1t is a crisis-a minor
one to be sure-which calls for such ex-
preston, and it VIII not fail to be heard.
The action of the Aldermen is the first faint
attempt at the organization of Ring. 1t is
the first weak growl of party for place; and
that spirit of Reform, which has been so deter
mined for two years past, should be heard in
no equiyocal terms in condemnation of the
partisan spirit which the Aldermen have
betrayed. Under the present condition of the
City Government, with Havemeyer insisting
upon Reformers in all public places, and with
Green guarding the public funds irrespective
of political claims, and neither caring for their
future political prospects, Ring il impossible
if only the people are faithful to themselves
and the true men in power.

RROOKLYN,S PROTEST.

Three several investigations OF the Brooklyn
Bridge Company have resulted in nothing
not even in deceiying the people of Brooklyn
whose millions are involved in the enterprise.
Alderman Wylie, in his report submitted yes
terday to the Common Council, says emphati-
cally that there has been no investigation by
his Committee. He might very justly have
said the same of all previous investigations.
They have been sti6ed or else controlled by
the parties in inter est. The Legislature was pre-
vented from appointing Committee of Inquiry
only because the representatives of Brooklyn
refused point blank 10 present the petition OF
her citizens. Other inquiries which have
been made were incomplete and farcical. The
real investigation apparently has yet to be
! made, and the public feeling in Brooklyn now
appears to be 80 strong that thorough investi-
CATION cannot be long deferred. The full
truth must be known, or the people of that
city, and our own as well, will be apt to ex-
press their condemnation of the present man
agement by refusal to vote the additional five
millions for which it will be necessary soon
| to ask.
The minority report of the Common Council
Committee is just arraignment of this man
agement. Ii is a protest against the Directory
in which all Brooklyn will join. For iDcOm-
plete foundations and towers which, when
finished, were to cost less than s3,oOO,O00, this
report shows that nearly if not quite $5,OOO,OOO
have already been expended. That the first
calculations were not underestimates is shown
by the fact that the foundatiOns-the part
most uncertain and difficult to calculate, if not
the most costly to build-were constructed for
something like 100000 less than the engineers
anticipated. There is no tracing the missing
50, 100000.
The Directory which thus conducts its busi-
ness is elected annually by private stockholders
subscribing only $5O0OOO, while tho two cities
which hold S4,5O0,0 900 have no vote whatever.
And of these private stockholders a single
man holding $4,000, and voting on proxies
for $101 900 more, elects the entire Board,
which thereupon returns the compliment by
electing him Superintendent and, at his
dictation, appoints an Executive Commit
tee which contracts for supplies in Sc
cret, pays the Superintendent an enor-
nous percentage upon all expenditures, audits
it's own bills and permits no question
ing of it's accounts. For public enter
prise, avowedly expecting no further help
from private subscriptions, and the managers
of which are asking to bc relieved OF half
they now hold, this Directory seems to us to
be a very excellent one to dismiss. Certainly
the feeling in both cities is adverse to further
subscriptions. OF to the canceling of half the
present unpaid private stock, until some as
surance s had that the same men are not to
manage the Bridge forever.

JOHN BRIGHT AND TIE REPUBL

JOHN BRIGHT AND TIE REPUBLIC.
1t il reported from England that Mr.. John
Bright has written letter reviewing the re-
cent revolutions in France and Spain, which
have resulted in the establishment of the
Republic in both of these countries. We are
left to infer that he finds nothing encOur-
aging in them, as he concludes by declaring
against the establishment, now or hereafter,
of the Republic in England. There Is GER
tainly nothing surprising in this. Mr. Bright
has never been Republican. Even his lib
eralism, which was 80 advanced few years
ago that his name was not quite proper one
to mention in good society, has been reached
and passed by dozens of prominent men, and
by many thousands of tho thinking and
voting masses of England. His great
services to the liberal cause, bis high
| personal character and extraordinary gifts,
must always make him one of the most no
ticeable persOnages in the history of the de-
velopment of democracy in Great Britain.
But it has been evident for several years that
his usefulness as leader was past. When he
entered the Ministry he attained the climax
of his career. Advancing age and failing
health have made their mark upon him, dimin-
isbing that fund of combative hOpefulness
which is necessary to keep man at the head
of liberal progressive political movement
| If the meager report of his late letter conveys
| its true spirit, it may be taken as his formal
abdication of the position he has only nomi-
pally held for several years, as leader of the
English Democracy.
II ia not his conclusions 80 much as his prem
ises that indicate want of faith in popular in
stitutions. The most liberal and enlightened

THE PRESIDENT AND THE GOVERNOR
The dispatches from Louisiana are still full
of discrepancies. One account says that I" the
"whole affair is virtually over" another pre-
diets that the trouble has hardly begun. 1t is
certain that tho people of the State are no
more reconciled to the Kellogg usurpation now
than they were two or three months ago; and
although they have no disposition to fight
against the United States army. they will not
submit to Mr.. Kellogg until at least show
has been made of compulsion. Whether their
submission is to be enforced quietly and speed
ily depends upon the action OF the President
and the Governor. The policy Of the citizens
seems 10 be to organize passive resistance to
the acting State authorities wherever they can
do 80 with reasonable prospect of success !;
to disturb the peace no. more than may be
absolutely necessary in order to assert their
position; and to disperse at once whenever the
Federal troops are marched against them.
Their action, therefore, is not civil war, but q
great popular protest against illegal power.
In the meantime anarchy virtually prevails
in some Of the remote parishes; the processes
of law cannot be executed the courts cannot
perform their duties life and property are in
secure. No State must be allowed to remain
in this condition. An illegal government is
better than no government at all and if there
is no chance of the installation Of McEnery
in the seat TO which he was chosen, we must
all hope. for tho sake of order. tina, Kelloggs
authority may be recognized. The acting Gov
ernor pretends that he is the honest preference
of tho electors Of Louisiana. He assures us
that a vast majority of the people sustain him,
and his only opponents are few miserable Reb-
els. 1t is time for him to abandon this absurd
pretense, which deceives nobody. and to confess
that the insurrection is beyond his control. He
cannot govern without the Federal bayonets,
and everybody knows it. Now let him throw
off DISCUSSES. and since he processes TO be Gov
ernor. let him govern in earnest His duty is
