THE MUNICIPAL NOMINATIONS.

Although great political interest centers on
the municipal nominations to be made to-day
the popular feeling on the subject Is much
wider and more deeply-seated. AS this Is inc
last of the twenty days allowed under the
new Charter for tho Mayor to send his ap-
pointments to the Board of Aldermen. we
must have the names OF four Ponce
Commissioners, four Public Park Commls-
sloners, two Commissioners of Accounts
a CITY Chamberlain and the remaining fye
City Marshals made public to-day. Inc
accumulation of this list OF officers Is enough
TO show how important are the interests In
yolyed There is much speculation, of course,
concerning the possible nominees, OF wDlcn
the reader may have his share. But the
prevalent feeling is one of confidence
in the excellence of the Mayors ap-
pointments. Mr.. Havemeyer keeps his
own counsel, but judging from the
general character of previous nominations, we
have the right to expect none but the best
for these Offices of vital importance. The
politicians have great hopes OF securing the
Police Commissioners We prefer to believe
that they will be disappointed
Do we mean, then, that politicians should
be excluded from Ol1lceI ASSureuly hOl' III
the large sense, no man is good citizen who
is not a politician. But we do insist that the
Offices should seek the men rather than the
men the Offices; and specially that, in places
like the Police Board, men who are known as
active managers in Ward politics. or whose
prominence comes from their connection with
partisan machinery, cannot be trusted to Sc
cure the demanded non-partsan administra-
ton. Every intelligent observer knows that
for years the Police of this city has been
used as the most effective political
agency in the hands of the party
that chanced to control it. What we
insist upon-what Reformers expect of Mr.
Havemeyer-is that henceforth the Police shall
be remanded to the business of preserving the
peace and forced to abandon meddling with
elections. No active chairman of political
committee, whether Tammany, Apollo Hall, or
Republican, can be trusted to do that 10
would be precisely because he was expected to
do the opposite that his party would push him
for the place.

benefit and the profit of Republican office
seekers would be justified at Washington.
The responsibility for this outrage upon free
government rests with the cowardly and short
sighted Congress which failed so sgnally in
its duties last Winter. The Administration
party came out of the last campaign greatly
strengthened in numbers, and burdened with
a corresponding increase of responsibilities. IL
knew that enormous abuses existed in the
government Of the Southern States-some OF
them the fruit Of the avarice of carpet-bag ad-
venturers, others the result of a sharp pohticai
contest, in which the patronage assumed unu-
sually important proportions. One OF the hrst
labors of the victors ought to have been 10
abate these wrongs. The power was In tneir
hands; the need of reform was urgent; tne
wisest politicians gave warning OF the neces-
sity of action, not merely for the sake OF inc

out pistol and open fire; and 1t seems that
men who are not supposed to be able to afford
many luxuries, who have to labor hard for the
necessaries of life, carry their pistols when they
90 to their daily tasks. Is this one OF the con-
ditions of our advanced civilization Ii not
let us have somo action taken about it. We
do not need to wait the overt act. Had
Nixon understood that for carrying pistoi
he was subject to arrest and punishment
his victim might have been alive TO-
day and he himself would not have hung
strangled between the heavens ana eartn,
as he did yesterday. 1t is pretty good
time to catch and punish these budding mur-
derers before they have taken life Let IL DO
understood that the man who carries loaded
pistol is an unripe assassin, to be plucked and
punished, as a preventive of crime. without
waiting TO cure him after he has ripened for
the scaffold by some deliberate murder. This
man Hurley is a good subject to make an ex-
ample of. Let him be shut up for as long a
term as the law will permit, and then let swift
punishment overtake any and every man who,
in whatever station in society or walk In
life, invites into his heart the devil OF murder
by strapping on his hip the invitation TO crime
and the means for its commission.

fayorite mode of swiDding the city, IN
which the old Ring INDUCED inordinately was
that known as "Opening streets on paper" In
each case three Commissioners with large allow
ances were appointed, and certain Surveyors
To whom immense fees were paid, and clerk
who was permitted to charge any sum he pleased
were retained in permanent employment. Inc
Judges who appointed these tayorltes always
confirmed their oppressive reports and allowed
their excessive charges. TO property-oWners
favored of the Ring, as Mr.. Thomas Murphy
was, large awards were made. Upon un-
influential taxpayers along and near the
line of the street to be declared le-
palIy omen, heavy assessments were imposed
The area of assessment was always dlsprO-
portionately wide and besides the city at
large was heavily assessed for beneht"
which was very indirect indeed. The to-
tai awards to be paid being fixed, the
assessments which had to be COLLECTED were
invariably put at sum great enough III

Surveyors, and Clerks, and the Judges who
appointed them, the stealing" decided upon

bled the Ring in four or five years to steal at
the Iate of quarter of a million annually.
1t appears by some incomplete investigations
which TRIBUNE reporters have made in Brook
lyn, and which are now published, that like
system prevails in that Ring-ridden city. Here
the robbery was consummated in Bureau of
the Corporation Counsel's office. In Brooklyn it
would seem that not only the Corporation
Counsel but the Park Commissioners cloak this
imposition upon taxpayers. The latter ap-
point Commissioners, Clerks, Surveyors, and
all, and further charge a percentage for col
lectng the heavy assessments which these
impose. The Corporation Counsel charges for
himself and clerks large fees for searching
titles which arc not doubtful, and which by
virtue of his salaried Office lie is required to
examine without extra charge. The system is
not as complete as that in this city was, but
it seems to be proportionately as oppressivej for
as will be seen by the article referred to, the
assessments in some instances have been so
heavy as to compel property-owners to sell
their lots to pay the charges against them.

The report from Albany that the Governor
will veto the Local Option Prohibition bill
has been anticipated. Whatever may be said
of the popular feeling on this measure, we be-
lieve it is coming to be generally admitted
that its fundamental principle is a sound one.
1t relegated the whole question of license or
no license to tho communities Immediately
affected by the sale or prohibition of liquor,
just as the Cincinnati Platform referred
the tariff question to the COngression-
al districts. The friends of the bill
very forcibly urge that in the framing of this
scheme of law they have avoided the possibil-
ity of enacting another law which could not
be enforced they say that they have con-
suited the saving value of public opinion in
framing the law, and have depended on the
Republican party and its promises for its en-
actment. They find the vanity of putting
trust in the politicians.

The British "Qadrterly, So savage and tartarly,"
is playing its old tricks again. 1t has an article on
the State of English Painting" which is not too
conspicuous for sweetness and light According to
this critic English Art is in melancholy state
that it is question whether not it really exists
as school; the price set upon picture by artdeal-
ers in the saeroom has too often nothing to do with
its actual value the epic and idylic spirits have
departed giving place to merely clever limitations,
in detail, of nature; on the Academy walls hang
mostly what artists call potboilers y the names of
well-knovn authors draw the half-educated parrenu
to the purchase of poor stuff which he is told is fine.
Nor does this hard-hearted person stop here. He
growls fearfuy at various artists whom it is fash
ionabe to reverence not even sparing the romantic
MiIais the adored Millas. The faults, the degene-
rations in English Art are caused in the critics
opinion by the largo of machinery in Art manu-
factures and the taste and superabundance of cheap
Art; by the tone of modern Art criticism, and by
the nature of the Art education prosecuted at the
schools of Art. which are useful but far from per-
feet institutions" All this seems very severe, but
we believe il to be on the whole healthful And it
might be said with good effect in other lands than
England.
