DEAD. POOR THING !

SmOthered. In the Committee. Under the
Tower stairs. A little, sickly wall went up I;
there was silence; a door slammed; the Com
mittee on Civil Service Reform, so admirably
constituted last December by Mr.. James G.
Blaine of Maine, came out in a professional
way, like high-stepping. supple-sinewed su-
pernumeraries returning to the stage to report
in blank verse the carnage they have lust
wrought in the wings there was moisture on
the spectacles of the Chairman, Mr.. Kellogg
of Connecticut, whose mouth Overfowed with
explanations, while his lips quivered with re-
gret; Mr.. Butler of Massachusetts followed
with q rolling gait and blood in his eye, and
that dreamy, stony stare, abstracted, but not
unconscious, with which the heavy statesman
of the period contemplates the grief-strcken

that 1T was puny child, and would have

havior of the Committee that signifed that
something had been strangled. Not anything
strong or healthy, or that was capable of re-
or that could snivel protest. No.
it was not that kind of cOmmitteei But
the consciousness of having strangled some-
thing came in with them and sat on their
frosty brows. And Mr.. DOrman b. Eaton. and

tion IN the proyisions of the statute. but MS
appeals fell upon deaf ears.
While the Brooklyn Ring was in full power
all attempts at investigating this abuse were
readily foiled. Even in the very Crisis OF Dis
fate, Britton, then District-Attorney, lent tne
Commissioners a helping hand for though ih
January last he brought the matter before inc

pared. he refused to sign it on the day tha'
it was reported that Gov. DIX had re-
moved him, although he had as YET 10
legal notice of that fact (; ana tha'
Jury was discharged. District-Attorney hou-
man brought the matter before new Grahd
Jury, but his prosecution of the case was IN
terrupted by his failing health. At last this
trial has been brought to conclusion by the
efforts of District Attorney Wlnslow' ih ai'

Gov. Dix this being the first case on its cal
endar, with the trial of Sprague to follow.
The important point covered IN this case i'
that public officers cannot plead as an excuse
for neglect of duty their ignorance OF the
law. 1t seems absurd that such plea snOuid
ever have moments consideration. But tne
three recreant officials, who have now sub
iected themselves to the possible penalty OF
years imprisonment, left no stone unturned
in their defense, and will probably
carry up the case to the Court OF
Appeals upon technical points. Judge Daniels
of Buffalo, to whose admirable statement
of the law in his charge in this case the
good result may be largely attributed, has had
similar good fortune in the cases OF Genet
and Brennan. The Commissioners are meaneI
cuprits, who have defrauded the paupers OF
the almshouse of the dOles of charity. we
doubt whether Charity's self can regard them
without execration. Their downfall Is one
more step in the progress toward purer CIVIC
administration in Brooklyn, to secure which
THE TRIBUNE's efforts have already borne
such important fruit.

EARLY CLOSING OF RETAIL $40

EdRLY CLOSING OF RETAIL SHOPS.
Now that the hot weather is coming it is
time something was done for the relief Of the
work people who feel it the most. These are
not, as might be supposed, the labOrers or
mechanics. but the salesmen and women and
clerks in retail shops, and the employees of
small manufacturers, who do not choose to be
governed by any eight hour rule. Eight hours
to hOd-carrier or q bricklayer, even of July
day, beginning at seven, with the pause of an
hours nOOning," and ending at four, is not
excessive labor by any means, and gives tho
stalwart Irishman or German plenty of time
and opportunity to rest with his pipe and lager,
or to go out of the city in the evening if he
chooses for purer air. Business of all kinds
is usually over ip New-York at 5 D. m, with
the exception of the retail trade. But this
exception is shamefully marked. Through
the long hours of the July and August after
moons last year, and in the evenings when
even the day laborer had time to sit down
and rest, one might see behind the counters
of the retail shops the rows of pallid, wearied
statesmen, painting for breath in the close,
stirless air, and waiting for the advent of
chance customer. In the streets of cheaper
shops the time of closing fingered on to some
indefinite hour of the night, or until nobody
was left to buy. The gas blazed overhead,
foul smells poured in from the streets, women
gossiped in front of the counters, while the
Door wretchcs waited behind, for the chance
to creep of late at night from their hot work
to hot. exhausted sleep. without q mQmeats

There is another point which We wish We
could urge with as much hope OF SUCCESS
that ia. the granting of a weekly half-boliday
during the Summer to the thousands and tens
of thousands of children and women employed
in small manufactures. SOup-hOuses in Win
ter and city relief societies, and free excur-
sions for children in Summer are pot whit
more necessary to the preservation of human
life than this action on the part of employers
an action by which they themselves are in
the end the gamers. But it is only those
among them who are, in certain degree,
men of culture, refinement. and humane ideas
who will be able to see how the real advan-
tage outweighs the loss of the few hours
actual labor. Several of this class of men we
reported last year as having given their hands
this weekly gift of chance of fresh air and
rest. We hope the list will be larger during
| the present season.

TIE BROOKLYN CHARITY CON MLSSIONERS

All good citizens will rejoice in the success
of the suit brought against the Commissioners
of Charities in Brooklyn for conspiracy to
evade the law in respect to supplying the arti-
cles consumed in the public institutions at
Flatbush. Up to 1871, the successive Boards
had this business all their own way-giv-
ing out contracts to favOrites and keep
ing the poor dependents upon public charity
close on the point of starvation. An act of
the Legislature passed in 1871 was designed to
remedy this abuse, and provided that articles
not of perishable nature required by the
Commissioners must be made the subject of
due advertisement, and the purchase be made
of the lowest bidders. The law was explicit
and it is nowhere assumed that there was any
question as 20 its intent. The Commits
sioners, with hardihood worthy of
the palmiest days of Ring government,
attempted no evasive compliance with
the law; they simply and absolutely ig-
n9red it. One Of their pqWber, Mr.. Gun

The skirmishes between Ireland and Italy increase
in frequency and severity. The community which
has given better homes and threefold better wages
than laborers Of either nationality ever earned At
home, has right to insist that they shall keep
the peace, and that neither shall interfere with
the freedom of the others in working for whatever
they choose to agree upon. The Irish have had tho
field toI themselves, butl they must understand
that the Italians have come to stay, have equal
rights, and will be protected in them. Meantime.
the interests which have been so severely crippled
by the enormous cost of doing anything in New-York
will gladly welcome wholesome competition.

civil suits was rendered The point raised In
these cases was this Shall the suits against
Ingersol and others be conducted in behalf
of the State of New-YOrk or in the name OF
the Cityf The decision is to the effect that
they must be continued in the name OF the
City. OF course, this will not affect Tweed's

on the other suits is yet to be seen.

Elections in England are not models of fairness
and decOrum and indeed are a great deal worse than
our own but then the injustice done at the polls Is
often redressed on petition. Thirteen members OF
the present House of Commons have already been
unseated for malpractces at the last general cleo
ton-one for bribery, for corruption one for in
timidation, and five for treating'-and there arc
others to hear from. That is the way they do things
under q monarchica despotism. In our free and
glorious country gentleman who gets into Con-
gress by false certificates or returns of imaginary
majorties is likely to stay there long he can
keep on good terms with tho party in power. Or il
his case is altogether too fragrant he is sent homo
