The Mayors decision on the Police Board is
wise and timely. He has taken such steps as
he could to secure a reorganization without ab-
solutely turning the present incumbents out
neck ana heels. The worthless members stick.
The next thing to be done i, to remove them
and lay the case before the Governor for ap-
proyal.
But we are within two weeks of an exciting
election. a month ago there was not Il news
paper in the city which did not loudly pro-
claim the imperative necessity for an iumcdl-
ate reorganization of the Board. Now two
thirds of them-sllch is the fairness o. the
partisan press-arc ready to shout that the
MAYOR Is only reorganizing it in order to con-
trol the election. 1t seems wiser, therefore,
since We have borne with the Board so long,
10 bear with il two weeks longer, and Mayor
Wickliam is judcious in deciding To make no
change-unlcss further circumstances should
compel it-until the election is out of the way.
Then we assume that Messrs. MatScll. Dis
becker, and Voorhis will depart from our
sight forever; and the Mayor will be Judged
as Mayor Haycmcycr was-by the Commis-
sOners he appoints.
Meantime the people will not fail TO note
the Mayors scrupulous effort net only to AVOID
evil, but even the appearance OF eyil. 1t has
been Il LONG time since Mayor OF New-l lork,
with ample power in his hands, has heSitated
to exercise it III the way his Judgment and his
interests both indicated, lest ii might seem to
the community an eiiort to Use political power
for partisan ends. 1t is a novelty to find one
of our public officers who does not think il his
duty to use his power in that way. Mayor
Nickllam will gain by his moderation; and,
unless Matsell & Co. should become suddenly
and unusually active, the city will not mate
rally suffer by il.

lect, made Butler a military commander and
Chandler leader of the Senate. The states
manship of the one was very much like the
peperalship of the other, and both are remcm-
bercd principally for very large and very
harmless explosions. All parties have eradu-
ally come to understand of late years how
empty and disreputable these rcs0unding pat
riots are, and if we have not yet got back to
the higher types of statcsmanship once repre-
sented in Washington when Sumner and Schurz
adorned the Senate, we have ut least grown
somewhat ashamed of the rampant vulgarity
of the modern Elijah Pograms, and Colonel
Divers. and General Fladdocks. Mr.. Chandler,
in Cabinet which contains Fish, and Brlstow,
and Pierrepont, and Jewell, is frightful
anachrOni%m.
The action of the President in this ease Or
the statement of the Associated Press, that the
place has really been offered to Mr. Chandler,
is true) is so strangely at variance with the
policy he has recently seemed disposed to
adopt that it Will be generally asclibCd to
the result of the Iowa and Ohio elections.
With the first glcam of Republican success he
returns to the old vices which led the party
80 close to the brink of destruction. If this Is
the explanation of his extraordinary action, it
proves what the closest and most diSpaSsion-
ate observers of Gen. Grants character and
habits have long known, that the Republican
party must break with him much more dCcid-
edly and openly if it would ever regain the
power that is fast slipping from its grasp

1t has become the fashion to abuse John
Kelly. He holds no Office, is Il candidate for
none, is known 10 want none. Evidently he Is
q dangerous man. SO he is called Boss"
Kelly; the papers compare him to Tweed, and
every form of ingenious libel is skilltully used
against him. Mr. Kclly's patience is at last
exhausted, and he gives notice that he intends
after the election To hold his libelerS response
blc We are 10 ap0lOgist for Mr.. Kelly.
If it can be shown that he has done
wrong to the city, either i'll his past
official relations OF III his present work
as a most efficient political manager we shall
certainly be among the first to denouncc him
and demand his punishment. But the proof
might as well precede the sentence. Until
Mr.. Kelly is shown to be guilty OF some
thing, ne has right TO resent the pcTpct-
ua abuse to which he is subjected.
Mr.. Kelly leads Tammany. The difference
between him and the leaders of the Custom
house seems to be that he is much more skill
full and successful. He has made great i'm
provemcnt in the character Of the men raised
to Office by his party, and the judges he has
helped to choose are certainly among
those in whom the public now place
higa confidence. If he has done wrong,
cut with it. Till then let him have credit
for the good he has done.
