SUPERINTENDENT FALLING.

The public will be agreeably disappointed at
the result of yesterdays meeting of the Police
Board. The candidate for the Superintendency
whom The TRIBUNE suggested as, on the
whole, the most experienced and suitable per-
son Immediately available, has been selected.
Mr.. Walling appears to have been taken
finally as a compromise. But we are glad to
believe also that the Board recognized and
Yielded to the public demand for q man of
experience and reputation.
The new Superintendent la,ks perhaps one
or two qualities for the position, to call atten-
ton to which is possibly the briefest way to
emphasize his general fitness. He is not as
strict dsciplinarian as the man in his place
should be. His subordinate position as an
Inspector where he had to carry out the
orders Of superior5 VIGOROUSLY lax, like
Kelso and Jourdan, may have devel-
oped this fault; i'll his higher position
he should at once correct it. He is thought
also to lack posltiveness of character The
same cause may have caused him to seem
at once careless of discipline and infrm Of
purpose. In tho past, Commissioners have
so largely assumed direction of the details of
Police business that the Superintendent has
been q mere figurehead for the force, and
practically powerless to increase its effective
ness or to arrest its corruption or demoraliza-
ton. We are satisfied of the new Superin-
tendents purpose Gas of the Old Inspectors
frequently expressed desire) to eradicate
gambling bells and panel-houses to put q
summary end to the corruption by which
captains of precincts, ward detectives, and
even private officers, levy taxes on dsreputa-
Bile public places and on known criminals
and to keep the principal thorougbfares and
resorts free from disreputable and dangerous
persons. Mr. Wallng has said he can do this,
and if the Commissioners permit him, we
believe he will.
We have not been inspired with the highest
admiration for the present Board 1t Is not
perhaps the worst we have ever had, but it
has been generally conceded to be the least
able. Now, however, is Its opportunity to win
| public respect by few wise acts. 1t has begun
well. Let it keep its promises with regard to
it's next important duty, tho appointment of
Election Inspectors, and it will do still better.
Let il go further than this, and, combining
itself to its own general duties. cOnfide to its
experienced though new Superintendent the
duty of looking after the details of the bust
ness. He ought indeed to have increased
powers over the captains and detectives.
Heretofore the former have appeared before
the Superintendent each morning in a
sort of meaningless dress parade, and
the latter have investigated cases and
disposed of criminals at the orders of
Commissioners, and almost without the
knowledge of the superintendent. The Com
mssioners have really no immediate business
with the subordinates of the force. Nothing
in the past has been more frequent or disas-
trous than the interference Of inexperienced
Commissioners in important detective work.
Neither through natural nor acquired ability

do the present Commissioners inspire tho be-
lief that better results can follow from such
meddling now. They have wisely chosen an
experienced Superintendent. Now let them
give him power and hold him responsible for
an efficient and disciplined police. Give him
no chance to say that the police force Is In
bad condition because he lacks the authority
to control it. Grant the power and exact the
responsibility. Let the new Superintendent
know that for every shOrtcomin OF the police
the most ignorant citizen will understand that
he is responsible. We shall then get his best
work; and, if that is inadequate, we shall the
sooner get rid of him and be ready to search
for q better man.

HAPLESS ERIE.

The interminable lawsuits in which the
Erie. Railway Company has been involved
most of the time for the last ten years are to
be reopcned by Attorney-Gencral Pratts de-
cslon that the bringing OF the suit by MIR. Angel
for the dissolution OF the Company shall be In
the name of the People of the State. The
points 20 be settled are four, and they arc all
of nature to admit of endless argumeDta-
ton: 1. Can the Erie lease the Atlantic and
Great Western under its charter or the exist
ing laws of the Statel 2 lad the Erie a
right to buy the shares of the Buffalo, New
York and Erie Company g. Had the Erie a
right TO buy coal-mines in Pennsylyamal T.
Was the last dividend fairly earnedf The
Attorney General thinks the Board of Direct
ors have acted honestly. but questions whether
they have not transcribed their powers.
Concerning the great majority of this emil
nently respectable board, we have no doubt
that the Attorney G eneral is entirely right.
There is small but active and aggressive
minority, largely controlling in the manage
ment, which we incline to believe capable OF
quite as dishonest acts, quite as much STOCK
speculation, and quite as much general reck-
lcssness as its predecessors and so between
the various contestants the real facts about
Erie are involved in cloud Of bewilcering
and many sided falsehood. The question OF
the dividend is especially muddled. Some
time ago we commissioned Il careful ex-
pert to go through all the figures on
this subject with the view of reaching
some conclusion as to the exact facts. His
report seemed to make the right to declare the
dividend at least very doubtful, but at that
time it appeared clear that any statement
which could be made on the subject would
only be seized upon by stock spectators, and
we therefore declined to publish it. As there
is not likely to be soon again any occasion for
another dispute about an Erie dividend, the
matter loses practical importance now, save in
so far as the stockholders may undertake to
establish personal claim against the Direct
ors for the declaration of dividend not
earned.

LIGHT on THE BROOKLYN SCANDAL.
1t is Impossible to deny that when Mr..
Tilton published on Tuesday, through the
convenient indscretion of friend, his ar
raignment of his wife and of Mr.. Beecher,
the document produced powerful sensation.
1t was not only the fame and the popularity
of the eminent clergyman thus assailed which
caused the public to read this savage attack
with painful eagerness. 1t was in itself an
admirable piece of work, considered in a
rhetorical and dramatic point of view. The
case was strongly and cunningly presented.
It absolutely required an answer, Although
almost all of it rested upon the unsupported
statements of Mr. Tilton himself, and although
it was generally felt in this community
that any assertions of his were all
the better for liberal collateral support,
the best of Mr.. Beecher's friends and ad-
mirers saw that the silence which he had
hitherto observed with so much fitness and
dignity could no longer be kept. and that it
was necessary for him to meet this envenomed
attack, first by denial Of its grosSer details,
