War! War! War! Among the

merchants Many, very many against one.
But he all alone is ready to fight them all as
he is backed by very large army, as the
public at large will surely assist one against
so many, especially when he has brought war
amongst them on their account. Now you
see the prices you have been paying for
goods; the Important brought them down and
he will stand here with you and give you a
chance to buy them at those figures for many
years TO come. You will find uniform prices
there and no bats on Il few leading articles;
therefore go to the Important, under the La
iayette Hotel, and get what you need.

Financial Anomalies.

Among the financial anomalies of the
present are the plethora of money and low
rate OF interest in Wall street. while there exist
want Of money and high rate of interest in
many parts of the country, especially in
the South and West The money en-
ployed in one day in non-productive and
demoralizing stock gambling-yes, the money
loaned by the banks for this purpose-would,
if applied to legitimate business and enter
prise, employ many thousands of work people
and add greatly to the national wealth. There
is ample security for money in the property
and industry of the country and good interest
to be obtained, but the banks and capitalists
prefer lending to stock spectators on col
laterals, upon the pawnbroking principle Of
business, because they make more by that
Even the country banks, supposed to be
established for the benefit Of the people in
their several localities, send their money and
that Of their depositors on to New York to be
used in 'sthe street." and leave the farmers,
traders and manufacturers at home without
means.

A FALLING EDrFIcE IN BKoADwAY.-In
another place in the HERALD of this morning
will be found on article descriptive of ON up
town scene which largely occupied the atten-
ton Of our citizens yesterday. A large build
ing in Broadway has been robbed Of some
of its supports by the demolition ofsome small
houses adjoining. The result is that the side
wall which stretches from Broadway to Crosby
street has bulged out ALI day yesterday
crowds gathered in the neighborhood, and
there was momentary expectation that the
wall would give way. At any moment the
building may fall, and, in addition to the
probable loss of much valuable property. there
may be loss of life. It is another illustration
of the reckless manner in which our entire
building system is conducted. In this direc-
ton reform is greatly needed.

THE REFORMED EpwCopAL CHURCH IN CouN-
cn~-Yesterday the Council Of the Reformed
Episcopal Church held its second session.
The new Church does not appear to be
troubled with any great pressure Of business;
but it lives and can afford to hold General
Council, and that is something. Yesterday q
large portion of the day was spent in discus
sions about wardens and vestrymen and such
like. A new Church, having the proper idea
of Church's mission, might find more suita-
BILE themes for discussion. The Reformed
Episcopal Church does not yet fully compre-
hend its mission, if it has any. 1t ought not
to concern itself too much about .sold
clothes" il it means to make it's mark in the
world. The active modern world cares less
about old-fashioned names than about work.
We advise Bishop Cummins to be done with
all this rubbish and get to work.

THE STREET CLEANING SCANDAL4-We print
this morning letter from the pen of H. G.
Eastman, the chairman Of the Committee
on Cities appointed by the Legislature.
Mr.. Eastman's letter claims that the COM
mittee, SO far as the Street Cleaning Bureau
is concerned, faithfully did its work. No
doubt can any longer rest on the mind of any
one as to the corruption and bad management
laid to the charge Of this bureau. Negligence,
ignorance Of duty and misuse Of authority in
the way of levying contributions for selfish and
personal ends-of these and like offences
the Committee Of Investigation found the
Street Cleaning Bureau guilty. 1t was the
opinion of the Committee Of Investigation,
however, that the ''control and execution Of
this important work should be in the hands Of
an efficient Police Board" The great ques-
ton still remains how an efficient Police
Board can be found.

The apostles of woman's rights held thelr
annual meeting yesterday at Irving Hall, and
1t will be seen from an account published in
another column that their proceedings were
marked by unusual enthusiasm. The tireless
Susan still urges on her petticoated legions
TO struggle against the domination of the
brute man, and under the leadership of this
female Caesar the Amazons threaten to become
danger to the State. The cotton umbrella
OF the oratorical lady shines in the vanguard
OF the woman's movement like the oriAamme
of Navarro, and whenever that awful piecs Of
cotton waves tyrant man trembles The most
serious part Of the business is that tho
legions are no longer recruited from tho
female printers and the somewhat repellent
ladies with the cropped wigs, but the services
of the young and dashing bellies of Fifth
zle the male kind to find out the grievances
of the latter class, unless, indeed, they may
think Of executing change of front and be-
coming useful as well as ornamental Per-
haps they have taken pity on their husbands
and papas, and want to have the right to earn
6Ouo VI tuo bA4A ulCbSCo tAlOy AVOA oO WOAA A0s
If this be part of the programme we do not
doubt that it would prove quite acceptable to
the tyrants. Indeed, we think good
many reforms Of this nature would bo
necessary before extending the much
desired suffrage to the ladies. We have
already too many politicians and patriotic
persons are endeavoring to find some means
Of reducing this class within reasonable limits.
Under these circumstances the irruption Of
the ladies into the political arena would be
viewed with alarm by the community, as cal
culated to turn every household into minia-
ture Arkansas. Two Governors in one State
have proved disturbing enough, but the estab-
lishment Of divided sovereignty in the homo
circle would produce universal anarchy. For
these good reasons the umbrella of the woman
suffragists will be for some time to come
waved in vain, as the disagreeable fellows who
hold the reins of power mean to keep them in
spite Of Miss Anthony and her noisy legions.

Our correspondence from Paris this morn
ing confirms the despatch we published the
other day in reference to postal treaty be-
tween France and the United States. This
treaty would have been matured some time
sinca but for the obstinacy of NJ. Thiers' gov
ernment, which insisted upon an extravagant
rate Of postage. Under the new treaty, post
age viii be reduced to reasonable rate, and
the French government will find an advan-
tage in it, as heretofore the bulk Of American
correspondence between France and America
has been transmitted through London, with
consequent loss to the French treasury. The
French have yet to learn that nothing is 30
desirable as revenue as cheap postage.
This is lesson, too, that should not be for
gotten by our authorities at home. Thus
HERALD despatch from Washington informs
us that the Postmaster General has ap-
proved new bill providing for the pre-
payment of postage on all newspapers and
other printed matter at the rate of two cents
o pound for journals and periodicals. Pub
fishers can thus pay in bulk for large pack
ages, without stamping each particular news
paper or magazine. The principle of pay
ment in bulk for all such matter seems to be
o sound one; but we think two cents pound
is too high postal rate. The experience Of
the English authorities in this matter should
not be lost upon US. They accepted the doc
trine that the Post Office was not merely to
earn revenue tor the government but to
minister to the public convenience and diff
fuse intelligence. What we want is cheap
postage. England has found cheap postage
more profitable as revenue even than the
old system and we have no doubt the Same
plan in America would lead to similar results.
Itseems to US, therefore, that in the interest
Of cheap postage it would be better to average
the rate Of postage on newspapers sent to
subscribers at one cent per pound. The
same rate might be applied to magazines and
books; although two cents would not be IN
exorbitant charge. This rate could be paid by
the publisher at the Office, payment being
made in gross for the absolute weight of mail
matter delivered This would be more Just
and feasible than the present plan, undar
which, as we learn from published statements,
the Post Office authorities only succeed in
collecting about one-third of what is due
them. Enforced prepayment would insure
the whole amount, and it would be far better
to have a uniform rate of one cent pound,
invariably paid, than the two cents pound,
which is never collected. This plan seems to
be worthy the attention Of Congress.

The EVIDENCE in regard to corruption in
the Department Of Charities and Correction is
said to be Of very damaging character. 1t
lis rumored that the purchasing Of supplies
will equal anything perpetrated under the old
regime in downright rascality. 1t is difficult
ito believe this, since all the bills for purchases
have to undergo the scrutiny of Comptroller
Green, who would scarcely have allowed
them to be paid if they were open to sus-
picion. But why is not the investigation an
open one? Why is it conducted with closed
doors and with the seal of secrecy stamped on
every man lipsS

GOVERNOR Dn is doing good service in his
close scrutiny Of the bills crowded into the
Executive chamber at the latter end of the
Legislative session. 1t is to be hoped that he
will withhold his signature from every law of
doubtful honesty or expediency. There are
enough loose and useless laws on the statute
books already. At the same time it is to be
hoped that such measures as are demanded
for the public interests or in the cause of hui
mainly will receive his prompt approval The
psople are well satisfied to leave the decision
in the hands OF Governor Dix.

Steam Lsnes-Should Not steemships
San In Twin CompsnionshiPs
No suggestion that we have urged in con-
nection with the establishment of 'steam
lanes" has been more emphatcally
endorsed among seafaring men than
the proposition that two steamships
making the transatlantic passage should leave
port together and keep company across the
ocean. never being beyond "hail' or signalling
distance Of each other, every circumstance OF
wind, atmosphere or sec to the contrary not
withstanding Can this be done? Can one
steamship become the convoy of her COM
panion, and, if it could be achieved. would
not safety on the greatest ocean highway OF
the globe become an absolute certainty 1t
is the opinion Of seamen and practical navi-
gators that there is no difficulty in keeping
two powerful steamers always 'abeam" on o
fixed '1ane." Indeed, there has rarely been an
instance whom either monitor, transport or
any unwieldy sea leviathan has escaped the
sight Of her convoy, even along the stormy
coast OF Hatteras. Surely, if this is the
maritime record over the great area of cyclones
in the South Atlantic. it would be an easy
matter to establish the convoy principle in
connection with ssteam lanes"
AS we have said before, q system Of electric
lights must be used and fog signals Of the
most powerful class. But more important
than these, is accuracy in navigation, which is
essential to the establishment and observance
of the highways tobe laid down on the charts.
Two heads in an emergency are always better
than one, and especially in navigation. 1t is
O well understood hct that our merchant cap
tains are not scientific navigators, although
in many instances their land-falls are of sur
passing accuracy. But there is o class of off,
GERS in the United States Navy, in the junior
grades, who have been schooled in navigation
from its elementary principles to the niceties
of its intricate calculations. These officers
are poorly paid their salaries are beggarly;
their lives in time of peace monotonous and
unrelieved by any pleasing incidents. 1t
would be to the advantage of transatlantic
travel if the companies would constitute
grade of navigator, and the duty OF
this officer should be to keep the
steamer on given course, according
to the prescribed 'lane," taking charge of
oil the instruments, chronometers, log books
and charts, holding them subject alone to the
orders Of the captain. OF course it would be
impossible and unwise to divest the captain Of
any share of his authority. But now he has
too much responsibility, too much labor, and,
necassa rilv from hia 1onp md nrnctical life at
sea, too little scientific knowledge. There is
another element in such an innovation that
should not be ignored Naval officers are
masters of discipline, and in moment of
danger are cool beyond comparison The
mere knowledge that such an officer is on
board steamship would reassure flock Of
landsmen in q panic at sea.

A SENSIBLE TEMPERANCE GospEL.-Henry
Ward Beecher lays down in recent letter that
''total abstinence is the rational and safe
remedy for intemperance" He sees no value
in preventive laws at this time which, however
right in principle, cannot be enforced now be-
cause of the low tone of public feeling he
would win his fellow men from the despotism
of strong drink by reasoning, moral influence
and kindness, rather than by any form OF vio-
lence
