The Police Board protests too much its honest
intention to appoint good election inspectors
and a competent Superintendent. Its honesty
will be Judged by its future action rather than
the profuse promises .of to-day. We confess
we have no hope of securing an able and
honest Superintendent, such as Inspector
Walling would make, except from the Com
missioners' dread OF public opinion. 1t is more
likely that the Ring, only half broken by the
removal of Gardner and Charlick, will prevail
to elect some plant tool who can be depended
upon in political emergencies and who can be
trusted not to disturb the arrangements by
which in certain precincts police and poll
ticians make fortunes by system of extOrtion
which protects and encourages criminals. An
investigation of this system, the existence of
which pslce officials, of course, Indignantly
deny, and good citizens who do not come into
contact with crime dlscredit, is shortly
promised, and it is to be hoped that the Com
missioners, who are to elect a Superintendent
to-day may not be found guilty of elevating
to the position one who may turn out to be
implicated in the frauds to be investigated.
We do not mean by reference to Mr.. Walling
to reflect unfavorably on any of the candidates
named elsewhere; but it is safe to say that
not only does his long service and ability give
him title to the place, but that his reputation
will justify his promotion in the eyes of
citizens most familiar with the police organ

The young woman who on Wednesday
night at great personal risk saved tenement

the act was a brave one, worth as much

The Hon. John Jay sailed yesterday for
Liverpool on his way back to Vienna. 1T this

politicians have been keeping an anxious
watch.

The Mayor is comforted with the assurance
that the Governor thinks lie cannot remove
him unless corrupt intent is proved. This, we
believe, has never been charged on the Mayor;
his chief offense in office has arisen from the
fact that he knew no law except his own
within. But there are plenty of others, besides
the Governor, who, recognizing all the Mayors
delinquencies, see nevertheless grave reason
to doubt whether it would promote the public
interests to force his removal on the eve of a
campaign, and so near the end of his term and
his career.

From our London correspondence, the other day.
it appeared that the English Liberals are Grumbhna
because Mr.. Gladstone, instead of attending to hli
duties in Parliament and guarding the interests OF
his party, secudes himself in the country and de-
votes himself to the study &C theological dogma.
and writes letters to his eminent friends in the
outer world on topic so devoid of political interest
as that of eternal punishment. We should be glad
of the chance on this side of the Atlantic make
this complaint Of some of party leaders FoI
obvious reasons, they could hardly be expected TO
give to the world the late Premier has DONE Their
conclusions about Homer; lit if they could be in
duced to retire for brief space to private life and
consider seriously 1.-The nature Of everlasting pun
ishment, its meaning intent, and scope" when they
emerged, as unfortunately they occasionally do.

We are glad to learn that the treasury Of Henne.
pn Co.. Minnesota, is in an OVERLOOKING condition
and we are equally glad to learn that it is guarded
by County Commissioners who mean to tase good
care of the money. Gov. Davis went up to Minnea-
polls the other day to beg the Commissioners to give
little cash for the relief of the destitute settlers
of the frontier He made appeals of all sogts lie
took the Hon. J. s. Pillsbury with HIM to back up
his solicitations. The Hon. Mr.. Pillsbury went so
far as to give his personal guaranty that the Legs
lature would refund the money from the state
Treasury. Bat the County Commissioners not beng
of trusting of mind, couldn't see it. In fact.
" they rather thought not" We must say that such
scrupulous and conscientious caution is exceedingly
refreshing in these degenerate days of defacation
and much malfeasance The Hennepin County Com
missoners are entitled to the thanks Of taxpayers

The series of calculations respecting the tail
of Coggia's comet which have appeared from
time to time in THE TRIBUNE, constitute an
entirely new feature in astronomical research.
This is the first instance i'll which an attempt
has been made to predict the rate of deyel-
opment of the tail of comet, its curvature,
and its position in space. The accuracy OF
these predictions has been verified by the facts;
and in another column will be found sum-
mary of the new knowledge gained on this
abstruse subject. Among other important re-
suits are the deductions that the tail of this
comet was not a hollow cylinder, and may
have been fiat disk; and that the repellant
force which drives off the particles that form
the tail, is the exact counterpart of the gray
itation which it supplants. Although the tail
has become invisible to most eyes sooner than
was anticipated, we cannot yet be certain that
it is quite imperceptible. Prof. Lewis Swift
writes that he saw 1t in the predicted position,
even in bright moonlight, on Monday night

The ghost of the late Civil Service Reform
still haunts the Departments at Washington,
Notwithstanding the knives of Mr.. Butler and
other supporters of the Philadelphia platform
were supposed to have reached its vitals and
the leading statesmen were believed to have
had war-dance around its scalp. Mr.
Treasurer Spinner holds the ghost at
bay, and the Secretary of the Treasury,
being new in his Office has referred to the
President the question whether the Reform
still maintains a gasping sort of existence. or
is what Mr.. Spinner considers it, goblin
damned" 1t will delight the soul of the
first great apostle of the Reform to know that
one of the persons in whose behalf it is to be
finally removed out of sight and buried is DR..

The explicit and manly defense of Mrs.
Tilton which Mr.. Beecher addresses to the
public will be received with unalloyed de-
light The denial of Mr.. Tilton's allegations
is uuequivocal, direct, and absolute; and both
Mr. and Mrs. Beecher appear as the defenders
of the assailed wife. The explanation of Mr..
Beecher's own letters-which alone have
harmed him-is limited at rather than de-
tailed and it would be a serious mistake for
the Committee TO act on the theory which Mr..
Beecber seems to have adopted that the full
explanations need not reach the public at the
earliest moment. Meantime decent people
will rejoice at the great encouragement given
10y Mr.. Beecher's preliminary statement.

a repeal of the Legal Tender act, and a
withdrawal of small notes from gener-

The BreMers. Party.

The fourteenth congress of brewers,
lately in session In Boston, adopted a
platform of principles, in which they
declare that their usefulness entities
them to protection by States and ma
tion; that, to encourage them, barley
and hops ought to come in free of du-
ty; that they are pillar in the State 10
point of revenue, and are proud of it;
that the national and State legislatures
ought to be made aware Of their value
to the commonwealth; thatito this end
they will Instruct them therein by a
public address; that they ought to be
protected in order that the revenue
may increase; that the tempsrancists
have slandered their beverage and per
secuted their trade by arbitrary laws;
that they protest against this course,
and are resolved as follows:
81 Resolved, That, through our local
associations, by personal effort, and by
means of our official organs and the
press generally, we will endeavor tC
influence public opinion in favor ofthe
use of malt liquors as Wholesome, nu
tritious, and absolutely necessary as I
healthful restorative, without in any
manner or form tending to the injurs
of person or property, and, therefore
not calling for any police regulations.
This resolution contains the nub o
the principles of the platform. They
further resolve that, unitedly and in
dividually, they will use every exer
tion TO prevent and repeal laws agains
malt liquors, and will support only
such candidates for Office as are in ia
vor of making the sale of malt liquor
free. Their address isan amplificatioE
of all this.

DEAR CHRONICLE-Perhap it might

of Flushing, and its environs. There
fore, and firstly, we have fair pros

Judging from the present appearance
of the fields, meadows, orchards, gar
dens-and, indeed, no part of the veg
etable kingdom shows anything but
what ought to continually remind us
of our duty to the Great Giver of all
those boundless blessings, and raise in
US an ever-enduring desire that we
may always strive to do our duty in
every relation of life, and thereby ac-
knowledge our dependence on the Au-

those blessings.

"For the Blood is the Life"

See Deuteronomy Chap. xii, Verse
%. The blood being the source from
which we derive our mental as well as
physical capabilities, how important
that it should be kept pure. Ii it con-
tains vile fostering poisons all organic
functions are weakened thereby. Set
Ting upon important organs, as the
lungs, liver or kidneys, the effect is
most disastrous. Hence it beheoves
every one to keep their blood in per-
fectly healthy condition, and more es-
pecially does thisapply at this psrticu-
lar season of the year than at any 9TH
er. No matter what tie exciting cause
may be, the real cause of a large pro-
portion of all diseases is bad blood.
Now DIR. Pierce does not wish to place
his Golden Medical Discovery in the
catalogue of quack patent nostrums by
recommending it to cure every dis
ease, nor does he so recommend it, on
the contrary there are hundreds of dis
eases that he acknowledges it will not
cure; but what he does claim is this,
that there is but one form of blood dis
ease that it will not cure, and that dis
ease is cancer. He does not recon-
mend his Discovery for that disease,
vet he knows it to be the most search
ing blood cleanser yet discovered, and
that it will free the blood and system
of all other known blood poisons, be
they animal, vegetable or mineral.
The Golden Discovery is aO0rTa,ated by
him to cure the worst forms of Skin
Diseases, as all forms of Blotches, Pim-
pies and EruptiOns, also all Giandular
