New-York tribune., 1875-11-29
MR. ROBEsONS PRECAUTIONS.


The Secretary of the Navy is talking with
sundry journalists in Washington about the
sudden activity in his department, and nothing
could be better, In its way, than the air of
frankncss and cordalty with which he docs
it. Even in the diluted report of his contiden-
tial talk, as we get it from time to time in
the Washington dispatches, there is charm
ing look-you- -straig ght-in the-ey -clap-yOu-
on -thc-sh sort of downright, breezy
honesty which you hardly ever find except on
ship-board. We see the ruddy old salt unr0lling
q chart bringing his bronzed fist down thump
upon the table, and proceeding, with the GUS
tomary maritime garniture OF speech, to give
the bearings of the Cuban question and lay
out the course of the entire feet Dye see
that, my lad Well, there you have the Gulf
of Mexico, and here lies Portsmouth, and yOn-
der is New-YOrk. Am getting all my ships
into the waters between these pointsi Whereby,
why not The best time to go South is the
Winter, and il is only matter of precauiion
10 station our navy where we can get at it in
case of need. If so, what oddsf Two years
ago. dye see, the navy was put into condition
of efficiency at great expense, because there
was need of it. Now there isn't any need
of it, so | am going to do it again-as mat
ter of precaution. Can any man say otherwise !!
No. The bearings of this observation lays in
the application on it. That aint no part of my
duty. Avast then, keep q bright lookout
for'ard, and good luck to you. And so the
Secretary beams farewell to his visitor, with
the light of honesty in his eye and quid re-
volving in his left check.
This is all very pleasant for short time,
but the patient and perplexed public cannot be
amused by it forever. That there is no cause
for war between us and any power on earth
we are assured, and that our relations with
Spain in particular are friendly is well ascer-
tanned. Yet it is as clear as MONDAY that the
explanations put forth in Mr.. Robeson's name
are ridiculousy inadequate. 1t il rather an
aflront to our intelligence to tell lis that the
spasm of activity which seized tho whole de-
partment about the first of November was
merely the result of Mr. Robeson's system Of
keeping the navy up to the point Of efficiency
established during the Virginius troubles; or
that he has suddenly begun to tit out ships and
put officers on sea pay for the sake of economy.
All these preparations are costly, and Congress
will insist upon knowing what the money has
been spent for. If it should turn out that
there IL or has been purpose to make po-
ltical demonstration on the Cuban question,

A BRIGHTER LOOK AHEAD FOR BROOhLfA'
The second stage of the Reform crusade
against the Brooklyn Ring has finally been
reached by the appointment OF John Il. Far
sons as acting Attorney General to prosecute
tor the recovery of certain sums from promi-
nent contractors and officials. Exposure by
the newspapers there, as in this city, re-
suited in the overthrow of the Ring
ut the polls, precisely as it did
in this city four years ago. The popular
triumph there, as the ono here, has been
promptly followed by legal proceedings to re-
cover misapprOpriated or stolen funds; and we
hope in time to record greater success there
than we have been able, thus far, to chronicle
as the result of the suits begun in the name
of this city and its plundered people.
That the proceedings now to be instituted In
the New-York courts in the name of the people
of Brooklyn will finally break the power OF
the Ring in Brooklyn We have not doubt
we are convinced they ought to -result also IN
the punishment of some officials and con-
tractors. The last named result remains to
be hoped for, not confidently prophe-
sled. OF the culpable extravaganza of the
Brooklyn Ring there has long been ample
prOOf, WHICH, Ill one UT JNO CtStst NoihP'i'"
restitution. OF the corruption of many OF the
officials and contractors in that city we have
long since ceased to doubt; in fact proofs
furnished largely by ourselves have resulted
in removals. But what there is in
the present cases remains to be learned.
That proof exists il just as certain
as that extravaganza and corruption prevailed,
but whether the judicial investigation now
practically if not formally set on feot VIII
develop it is doubtful question. The Ring in
Brooklyn was shrewder than that of this city !;
thorough examination 81 ia methods convinced
us of that long ago. The members had influenced
the Legislature to organize there commissions
with greater powers and less responsibility
than those of this city and in all their opera
tions they dealt more cautiously and stole far
less recklessly than in this city. They cannot
however, have fully guarded every point, and
it will 60 hard for the Brooklyn taxpayers if
their armor be not penetrable at some weak
point.

Chicf-Justice Waite has done a sensible ac-
ton in refusing to become candidate for the
Presidency 1t is an honorable ambition to as
pire to the White House, but an innate sense
of propriety teaches the people that It is an
ambition in which the Judges of the Supreme
Court will wisely not indulge The serene at
moslhcre Of our highest judicial tribunal ought
never to be disturbed by the contentious OF
politics and the intrigues of party. The men
upon whom the grave responsibilities of this
bench are conferred are bound to hold
themselves free from the taint of Obec-
tionable associations aud even the suspi-
cOn of prejudice. Political candidates can
never do this cannot even avoid sander and
denuncation, however pure their lives and
purposes 1t would be misfortune to the cOun-
try if Judges continued 10 preside over our
most august court while the mob was drag
ging their ermine through tho mud and pet-
ing them with abusive epithets.
Moreover it is of great Importance that the Chief
Justice should never even DO supposed capable
OF using his high place to promote his OWL
political fortunes. When ho accepts this Of
flee it should be understood that he aims at
nothing beyond, and can never hope for the
favors or dread the resentment of any posi-
BILE suitOr; above all, that he has nothing tC
gain by the decision of constitutional or polit-
ical questions according to the policy of ODt
or the other of the rival parties. As Chief
Justice Waite well says. his duty is not onl,

Prof. Proctors lecture on Religion and As
tronomy s more pronounced than anything he
has hitherto delivered. Its tone rather than
its separate expressions indicate that his au-
tipathy has been deeply stirred against those
who hold opposing views and draw their
weapons from the Biblical narrative. His re-
marks about certain miracles and his attempt
to connect the laws of Moses with astrological
superstition, show more clearly than any ex-
plantations he has offered, how wide Ia the gap
between his present views and those held gen
erally by men of the religious faith to which
he formerly adhered.
