tho savage who h0rrihes the neighborho0d
night after night with the sound OF his furi-
ous blows. the brutal Snowman who forces a
borrowed baby to peril it's limbs or its neck
in the arena,-these are criminals whom the
law seldom reaches simply because the victims
cannot make known their wrongs. NO one
who reads the newspapers needs 10 DO tolu
that cruelty to children often amounts 10
murder Many more children than any OF us
suspect probably die Of the lash, or OF hun
ger, cold, and neglect. The police RECORDS
teach us that abduction is not uncommon ana
the Ross case by no means the hrSt OIL i'S
kind. A society which will undertake the
protection of the little ones can accomplish
incalculable good
But the prosecution Of the prosecutors VIII
he perhaps the least of its labors The
founders of tho Society seem to understand
that the only sure way to improve The condl-
ton of the children is TO instill humane IDEAS
into the parents The work OF prevention "
must begin with the elders. Hence we ma
that among the schemes Of these benevolent
persons some method of bringing the moral
Influence of good and gentle women TO bear
upon the violent and Ignorant holds pfom-
neDt place. Meetings partaking somewhat OF
q social character district visiting, missionary
excursions through the streets, have oil been
suggested. No doubt these ladies and gentle
men are conscious of the great delicacy OF
this part Of their task, the danger especially
of irritating the class which they wish to
reach, and rousing their hostility by the ap-
pcaranco of impertinent interference or the
assumption of superior wisdom. There are
two things which man, as rule, always be-
lieves he can do best without help: drive his
own horse and manage his own boy. But
there is no question that it is by friendly
counsels, indirect influences, and the gradual
operation of gentle associations, that the So
ciety can accomplish the most valuable re-
suits if its methods are wisely chosen and
directed.

TILE MAYORN MESSAGE.

The administration of Mayor Havemeyer
must be looked upon as an exceptional period
in the history of the city,-the result of rev.
olution which had only the definite purpose of
destroying bad government without having
made preparation to substitute promptly there
for good one. Ostensibly Republican, it
proved purely personal administration, in
which ignorance of present public needs and
strong personal prejudices resulted in tenn
porary and unstable policy, and, as a conse-
quence, in weak and in one sense dishonest
government, though tho Mayor himself was
actuated by the most honest impulses. Begun
under the most favorable conditions and gen

subject to the orders of Kellogg. Sixty United
States soldiers have elected from the Legisla-
ture four members who had been declared
legally elected by the Legislature to which the
returns had been referred by the Returning
Board. The citizens Of Louisiana have seen
themselves cheated and defrauded, and when
the fraud came near to failure they have
seen the whole power of the General Govern
ment used to consummate it and make vii

the facts as they are they invoke the dellber-
ate Judgment of tho American people.

President MacMahon is probably satisfied by
this time of the impossibility of any union for
constructive purposes among majority of the
members of the French Assembly. The vague
language of the statement in regard to the
conference at the Elys6e shows pretty clearly
that it is not able to carry out the purpose
for which it was convened Considering the
numerous attempts which have already been
made for union and have tailed, this last
hope was very forlOrn.

Sbe loved him so tenderly-it was in Missouri

he needed very much, would move him to requital.

ingratitude of mani he went sparkling another

Il prominent point in Mayor Hunters mes

Brooklyn in 1874 was only about fifth of
what it was in 1879 and one-seventh of the
increase i'll 1871 And yet the Reform agita-
ton there was looked upon as something very

The views of Mr. Isaac Sherman on the sub
ject Of taxation, which are given at length on
the sixth page of this mornings TRIBUNE, will
be found to contain a very clear and intelli-
gible account of the fundamental principles
which make it impossible for any man who
eats and drinks and wears clothing to escape
the taxes. This truth may be of no cOnse-
uuence to those who draw an illicit income
from the public treasury, but to all others it
is of great importance. The magnitude of TIE
taxes is enough to stagger the boldest, and
the one thing that is needed to produce re-
form is to convince the great mass of persons
who own no property that they have full
share in paying the taxes, and that it is expe-
dent for them to have o care whom they del
egate to guard the public chest.

The apparent tactics of the counsel in the
Beecher case to bring it before particular
judge ought not, and probably will not, delay
the trial set for to-day. The preliminary ac-
tons have indicated to some extent the prob
able rulings of the judges upon minor points
of law, and naturally the counsel seek to get
before the judge inclined to their construction
of the law. But it is small matter before
what judge it is conducted, for the question
involved is one of fact rather than law.

The Pennsylvania Democrats seem to have
done well in the nomination of candidates for
officers of the lower branch of the Legisla-
ture. 1t is to be hoped that they will not
throw away their chance for giving PennSyl-

States Senate.

Mr.. Donnelly has resigned his position in
the Department of Charities and Correction
because of business engagements. The pro-
ceeding and excuse are equally rare. since
few ofice-holders ever resign, and it so hap
pens that many of ours were selected to di-
rect public affairs largely because they had
failed to successfully conduct their own.

The Congressional investigation of Missis-
sppi affairs still drags its slow length along.
The Committee have found i'll feeling be-
tween the races engendered by partisan adj
ministration of the State Government and the
misrepresentation of carpet baggers holding
and seeking office; a Governor incompetent,
quick tempered, and stepped in prejudice
against his political opponents; the col
ored people melted to excuses, and
the white people goaded to iDjudicious
means of redressng their wrongs. If there
is any remedy for this deplorable state
of affairs it is not the interference of the
Administration in behalf of the carpet-bag-
gers, who seem to have been mainly instru-
mental i'll bringing it about.

In the prosecution of the Pacific Mail
inquiry in Washington yesterday, consider
able part of the money which passed through
the hands of Congressman Schumacher was
traced little further, but its final resting
place has not yet been definitely ascertained
by testimony. Mr.. Schumaker's untimely dis
appearance provokes suspicion, and the re-
port that he has gone to Europe seems to
gain credence. 1t will be well for the Com
mittee to give careful consideration to what
Nr. Irwin says about the assumed ignorance
