The Police Commissioners.

The charges against the Police Commits
sioners are not to be urged until after the
election. II this delay is based upon politi-
cal grounds the reasons against it are equally
strong with those in its favor 1t might be
argued that it would be improper to remove
the officials by whom the inspectors of cleo
tion are to be appointed just before the
election, while it can be urged with equal
plauslbility, on the other hand, that if the
Commissioners are unfit for their places after
the election they are also unfit before. In
reality this question ought not to be allowed
to enter into the matter The efficiency
OF the Police Department is above every other
consideration in necessity and importance.
For long time the service has been becom-
ing more and more demoralized, and the
Board of Police as now constituted, is power
less in increasing the efficiency of the de-
partment. The testimony before the Assembly
Committee on Crime all tended to prove the in
effectiveness ofthe department and the demor-
allied condition of the force. Reform is imper-
ative, and the only way in which reform is to
be gained is to attempt it under new Board.
Delay will only add to the difficulty of effect
ing it The thing to be done in the emer-
gency is for the Mayor to lay the charges be-
fore the Governor at as early day as possi-
BILE, and SO place the responsibility where it
properly belongs, and we trust both these
officials will see the necessity of speedy ac-
ton. This question has no real connection
with the approaching elections, but it is in
itself one of paramount importance and de-
mands immediate and vigorous treatment

PHILLIPS, BUTLER AND Pro IRON KELLEY. -
These noted republican infationists have
shown themselves to be bad politicians and
worse prophets. Instead of waiting for the
wagon" they ran to meet it and jumped in
just as it was going over the precipice Had
they foreseen the fate Of imitation in Ohio
we dare say none of them would have 50
needlessly committed his reputation to that
heresy. They had not even the poor excuse
Of party obligation, which will be pleaded
by some Of the democrats in extenuation
Of their error. They could not discern the
difference between the rising and the
setting sun, and nobody will sympa-
thize with them in their humili-
alton. If, when Sir Walter Raleigh gallantly
and Loyalty spread his cloak over a piece Of
mud for Queen Elizabeth to walk upon, he
had discovered that it was not the Queen,
bUt discarded waiting maid, he would have
soiled his garment for nothing and made
himself ridiculous. Messrs, Phillips, Butler
and Kelley mistook imitation for the youthful
queen Of our politics, and it now remains for
them to pick up the besmearcd mantle of
their reputation and brush off the mud when
it shall have had time to dry.

mediable would be to induce the State to
dispose Of its canal property in the interest
Of official morals For the last ten or fifteen
years there have been advocates, of whom the
late Mr.. Greeley was one, Of the sale of
the State canals, as means Of removing the
carcass on which two generations Of unclean
vultures have fed No private corporation
ever permits itself to be swindled as the
State has always been in work done on the
canals. II the new amendments did not
afford hope of protection the logical infer
ence from the recent exposures would be
that the canals ought to be sold, as the only
means of curing gigantic evil which has for
forty years withstood all other remedies. We
do not suppose that Governor Tilden has
had anything of the kind in contemplation /;
but, in the absence of the late amendments,
the most popular cry that could now be
raised would be a cry for the sale of the
canals and the purifcation of the State gov
eminent by a removal of the chief temptation
to dishonesty.
If the late amendments fail to accomplish
what is expected of them a despairing popu-
lar sentiment will force the State to part
with the canals. To be sure, the constitu-
ton forbids their sale, but it is an easy thing
to amend the constitution when any of its
provisions obstruct the popular will The
canals are ceasing to be source of revenue,
and there is really but little force in the
chief objection which has always been urged
against their sale 1t has been constantly
said that it would remove the only check on
the extortions Of the railroad companies.
But the State might fix maximum
rate of freights and sell the canals
subject to that condition. They would,
of course, bring lower price than if the
purchasers were left free to fix their own
rates but if it be true, as Governor Tilden
stated in his message, that the canals have for
the last three years been burden to the
State instead of source of income, it would
be an advantage to dispose of them, even at
a moderate price We do not imagine that
Governor Tilden has intended any such con-
sequence, but it is the tendency of his efforts
to reconcile the people to final divorce be-
tween the State and this scandalous source
of corruption.

The Honorable John Peels for the
Fight

The Honorable John has decided at last to
step into the ring and to do battle with John
Kelly's candidate for the Senatorship Of the
Fourth district. In his letter of acceptance
the political gladiator clearly and manfully
defines his position. He was power in the
Tammany Wigwam only few weeks ago. A
little subserviency to John Kelly, a little sac
rifice eofindependence and self-respect, would
have enabled him to retain his position and
influence in that organization and to enjoy
his share in the nominations and the patron
age of the party as he enjoyed it at the last
election. But he saw that matters were not
conducted in manner which he could ap-
prove, and the bluntness of his nature forced
him to object. He did not Like the idea of
citizens and ofice-holders of the State Of
New Jersey being called over to New
York to take charge of our munich
pal departments while lifelong and
hard working New York democrats
whose honesty and capacity were undoubted
should, according to the principle of home
rule, have had the preference He did not
believe that John Kelly's assumption of the
right to dictate to democratic districts who
their local candidates should be was in ac-
cordance with true democracy. He did not
approve the reduction of the wages of city
laborers through the influence of Mayor
Wickham and John Kelly while the large
salaries of the heads of departments re-
mained untouched. He therefore rebelled
against the leaders of Tammany and uttered
his sentiments freely on these points. The
consequence was his retirement from the
General Committee. Having left the organi-
zation on principle, and having, moreover,
met with severe family sorrow, the Honor
able John did not desire to be a candidate
for any Office whatever. His battle against
the arbitrary rule Of one man and the in
justice done to the laboring classes was a
disinterested one, and he did not desire that
the slightest suspicion should be cast on his
motives by his acceptance Of any political
nomination.
But some men have honors thrust upon
them. The workngmen of the Fourth SEN
atorial district insisted on running the Hon
orable John as their candidate against the
candidate Of the man who procured the re-
duction Of the city laborers' wages and then
endeavored to evade the responsibility of the
act The whole nti-Tammany element
called upon the Honorable John, as the
avowed opponent of bhe one man power to
stand up against it in a district where it had
been Extensively exercised. The Honorable
John could not resist such an appeal. His
heart and soul are with the working classes !;
how could he refuse to stand up for them in
fair, square fight? So the Honorable John
has thrown off his coat, SHE'D his castor into
the ring and stands with his toe to the
scratch ready for square fight He has never
yet been beaten at the polls, and the work
ingmen who are at his back declare that he
will come victoriously out of the present
contest

The Committee ON Crime.

IL Is beginning to be suspected that the so
called Committee ON Crime, created by the
House OF Assembly, is degenerating into an
electioneering machine, to be used in the SER
vice of Tammany Hall between this and
election. The ill-advised attempt to force the
counsel of the committee into the position Of
a Tammany nominee did much to impair
public confidence in the impartiality and
honesty of the Committees work. Subsequent
proceedings have led to the belief that an in
vestigation that might have been promotive
Of the public good has degenerated into an
electioneering weapon in the hands of the
Tammany cabal. In the few days preceding
election the committee cannot hope to
accomplish any good by investigation
A quorum is seldom present and
public interest is too much absorbed in the
campaign to pay attention to any develop
ments that may be made. non-partlsan,
honest investigation, conducted in the in
terest of good government would cease its
labors until after election. The committee
is now doing work that will justly cast suspi-
cion on its intentions and impair its useful
ness. 1t should adjourn for two weeks. If
it should stamp itself as partisan instru-
ment no reputable journal will countenance
it or pay any more heed to its proceedings
than to the proceedings of a political club.

Investigating Committee. There was long
session of explanation yesterday in which
the Treasurer mainly figured. Severe rehec-
tions were cast on the committees report,
and it seems now that the reform movement
Of the Governor is likely to create some
serious divisions in the Canal Board But the
people will probably remedy this by elect
ing the democratic State ticket next month,
and thus strengthening Governor Tilden's
hands

COLONEL STEBDNs, the President Of the
Park Department, gives his views of the
progress and improvement Of the Central
Park in q conversation with a HERALD re-
porter, published to-day The President is
an enthusiast in relation to the Park,
and no doubt it will, as he says, be one
day unequalled in the rest of the
world. But he points out forcibly
an evil which he has before now complained
of-namely, the efforts Of politicians to run"
the Park for their own benefit. The Presi-
dents opposition to Comptroller Green's in
reference with the Park Commission was
based on these grounds. The management
should be wholly free from personal
and political intrigue. At present, how
ever, with our large debt, the Central
Park is good enough for the people, and
with one or two popular and inexpensive
improvements sucl as a united drive, bride
path and promenade, similar to Hyde Park
and the Bois dc HouloSne will do well
enough for the next ven Fears. Meanwhils
IL should DO kept in good condition and well
policed This is all tast is now necessary,
and TO secure this harmony in the commits
sion is very desirable.

prospect of its completion within the time

We are told, however, that while the struc-
ture is not likely to be finished until 1879
we may next year have the stone work on
both sides of the river completed and
temporary bridge thrown over AS soon as
we get a connection with the other side of
the East River the convenience will be felt
and the demand for other bridges will in
crease. Before our youngest children are
fifty years old who knows that the East
River may not be spanned by as many

Homicide and Society.

The frequency Of crimes of the same char
acter and degree in certain seasons has often
been remarked, and just now the old obser-
vation is verified by repeated homicides
caused either by love or jealousy. On
Wednesday Jacob Standerman was convicted
in the Court Of Oyer and Terminer of the
murder of his sweetheart, and about the
time this poor culprit was doomed to the
gallows another wretch attempted the life
Of woman who had rejected him, and sue
ceeded in taking his own. There has
been singular development of murders
or attempts at murder, followed by sui
eide; but the frequency Of these peculiar
crimes is to be found in social causes
Scarcely any other motive would have
induced Standerman to become q mur-
derer, and the same yengeful feelings
Of disappointment led Revere into the
double crime, which, had it entirely sue
ceeded, would have made him murderer
as we'll as a self-murderer Society is partly
responsible for the frequency of these
crimes-the loose notions Of morals and the
freedom allowed to the relations of the sexes
being the sources Of this, as well as many
other evils. Prevention can only come with
the severe punishment of all offenders, and
the enforcement Of sterner rules of morals
and Of social etiquette. We must take
backward step, and not only surround our
women with the sanctity Of purity, but pro-
tect them and ourselves by making the
sacredness Of home and virtue inviolable.
We have gone too far in the freedom Of social
intercourse, and it is time that we begun to
learn the methods which society adopts in
older lands than our own.
