The Committee on Public Health ap.
pointed by the Assembly to examine
into the sources Of the disagreeable
and unhealthy smells that poison the air Of
New York have returned to Albany after q
mere flying visit to some of the breeding
grounds of these enemies of the public
health, and without visiting some Of the most
offensive places at all. Probably the ex-
periences they had during their two days
inquiry on the east and west side about
Thirty fourth street were enough for them,
but they surely might have spared time and
strengthened their stomachs for visit to
the pestilential area of Harlem flats.
If the thing was worth doing at all II
was worth doing thoroughly. New
York demands the suppression of these
nuisances which came under the observation
of the committee, but from Harlem fats
roll miasmatic vapors quite as offensive to
the sense of smell, and infinitely more
dangerous to health. Our municipal au.
thorities have proved themselves unequal TO
the task of dealing with this huge nuisance,
which, since the days when Disbecker found il
o paradise, scarcely anything has been done
to mitigate the evil Whatever measure is
passed by the Legislature to relieve New
York Of its stenches let the publication Of
Harlem fats be included in it. The COM
mittee, after their run up the river, should
be sufficiently refreshed to return and face
the horrors Of the flats for single day. The
warm weather is now approaching and every
day adds to New York's danger.

Cheap Cabs and the District Teles
graph Company.

In urging the District Telegraph Company
to take hold of the business Of providing
cheap cabs for the New York public we do
not wish our proposition to be COMPOUNDED
with the efforts the company are making in
another direction. They are entering into
arrangements with certain stables near their
branch Offices to supply vehicles to their
present customers as the latter may desire
them. This shows progress, but it is not
enough. Doubtless the want of capital and
fear of travelling outside of what the COM
pany consider their messenger business
make them hesitate to embark in the owning
and running of a cab service on their own
account. We think their organization i'd
mirably suited to making such cab service
of the greatest public utility, and, therefore
profitable. Such men as Mr.. Belmont, Mr..
Vanderbilt, Mr.. Stewart, Mr.. Aston and
others of our wealthiest citizens could bl
called on to furnish the capital for the ad.
ditional outlay, since, in addition to
doing great public service, they would be
making perfectly safe investment. Under
such auspices and with the management in
hands that would guarantee business-like
administration, the entire public could be
acceptably served at rates far cheaperth
the most progressive stableman would be-
lieye possible. If the District Telegraph
Company examine the matter on q broad
basis they will see that it would be as absurd
for them to rely for this cab service upon
independent stablemen as it would be to
rely on their neighbors for messengers.
All the public wants in order to create q
great cab business is perfect understanding
with responsible parties, prompt service and
fair rate. The District Telegraph Com
pany, with little enterprise, can supply all
these. Let them try it.

Tho Coming Emperor.

meeting Will be held at Delmonicos
should be taken to extend proper hospitali-
ties to His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil,
during his proposed stay in this city" The
gentlemen whose names are signed to the
circular summoning this meeting are among
our best citizens. meeting under the di-
rection of Royal Phelps, J. Pierpont Nor
gan, James M. Brown, E. d. Morgan and
men of that class will do everything possible
for the credit of the city.
The coming of the Emperor is among the
most important events Of the kind that have
ever happened in our country. We have had
royal and imperial guests before-princes
who were to be kings in their day, and once
or twice princes invested with royal rank.
We have had king and queen from the
Pacific. We have had princes Of the
houses of England, Russia, Bonaparte
and Orleans. Their reception was in
all respects hearty and becoming. Mr.. Tick
nor's memoirs show how gratefully the Queen
of England appreciated the civilities we paid
to the Prince Of Wales, and, although there
was some feeling on the part of the Gear rs
to the manner in which the President treated
the Grand Duke Alexis, His Majesty was
eager to acknowledge the kindness shown
his son by the people But the coming EN-
peror is in adifferent category from our other
guests. He is prince of ancient and illus
trious lineage. He is directly descended
from the houses of Bourbon. Braganza and
Hapsburg, three of the ruling houses of the
world So that in rank alone, so fur as we
may feel disposed in this free and easy coun-
try to regard rank, the Emperor is deserving
Of the highest consideration. He is a man
scholar. Even among scholars he would be
distinguished for his learning This is o
great deal, especially in a century which
has had so many princes who were high and
privileged vagabonds More than all, the
Emperor is the chief Of great nation, the
greatest, next to our own, on the American
continent It is not merely therefore Dom
Pedro of the Bourbons-prince and en-
peror, scholar and gentleman who comes
to our shores, but the chief of q power
full nation, with whom we are on
terms of peace, and whose ruler we shall
only be too glad to honor. In considering,
therefore, what is due to Dom Pedro as our
guest, we should consider the honors that
would be paid to General Grant, if, while
President he were 10 visi. Brazil. He would

A Centennial List-The English Mis-
sion.

The President has good opportunity to
send good Minister to England. He can
solve many problems and simplify many
endorsements by making the proper
selection. We have presented the name of
Mr.. Longfellow, but there are other gentle
men eminent in letters, science and the law
who would honor this country at the Eng
lish Court. Let us give the President a GEN.
tennial list -
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, Of New York.
EDWIN D. MORGAN, Of New York.
CYRUS w. FIELD, OF New York.
WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, ofNew York.
ANDREW D. WHITE. OF New York.
PETER COOPER, Of New York
HENRY W. LONGFELLOw, OF Massachusetts
WENDELL PHILLIPS, Of Massachusetts,
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL of Massachusetts
RALPH WALDO EMERSON. OF Massachusetts,
JAMES G. BLAINE, of Name
MURAT HALSTEAD, OF Ohio
HENRY c. CAREY, OF Pennsylvania
Here is a list of which any country might
be proud centennial list which the Presi-
dent could throw into hat and draw out
blindfold, feeling that whoever came would
be o prize Mr. Curtis would meet the sup
port Of Mr.. Conkling. No gentleman would
be more welcome to the Queen. He could
show those pleasing traits of character which
essays upon manners and fashions and
show to behave" Mr.. Morgan, as a great
merchant, would appeal to that commercial
sentiment of England which has made
Britannia mistress of the seas. Mr.. Field
has already won so many honors in England
that his presence at court would be COM
pliment to both nations The name Of Bry-
ant is so illustrious that he would be re-
ceived at Windsor with honors like those
paid to Franklin at Versailles President
White, of Cornell, represents the best aspect
of Young America, while Peter Cooper would
Peabody. Wendell Phillips, the chief OF
our orators, would be peculiarly welcome in
the home of Gladstone and Bright Lowell
and Emerson shine so brilliantly in tho
gnlaxy of our literary stars that they would
give lustre to tho mission. Mr.. Blaine has
awaiting contest for the Presidency, and
might relieve the canvass by accepting the
inevitable and going to London Murat
Haistead is war horse among the tremen-
dous journalists OF the West. If it werc
necessary to make tho lion roar he has the
courage and ability to do so. Henry c.
Carey could end his long and useful life in
no position more gracefully than at the
Court OF st. James.
The President should thank us for this
centennial list As wo said in the begin
ming, ne could put these names in a hat,
feeling surc that the first name drawn would
be that OF gentleman who would honor his
country.

SPURIOUS CHAMPAGNE.--The democrats Of

that efforts are being made to put o stop to
the domestic manufacture Of their favorite
beverage. A great deal of the crime in Bax-

traced to the poor quality of champagne
drunk by the inhabitants. Short hairs and
swallow tails can unite on this common
ground to back the prosecution of tho
ubiquitous fabricators of this fine American
drink. "Cut the wires of another" will be
the motto of the reunited democracy.
