MR.. BRIsToWrS RETIREMENT.

Mr.. Bristow's retirement from the Treasury
will be generally and profoundly regretted.
lie has done his country great service in a
difficult and important place, not only
by q judicious administration of the
finances. q strict enforcement of tho law,
success in collecting the revenues. and
singular energy in breaking up formid-
able and wel-prOtected organization of official
thieves, but by giving the world consplcu-
GUS example of official purity, and proving
that high sense Of honor and duty is not
always wanting in our public functionaries.
He has won universal respect during his term
in Washington and he will be followed into
private life by the best wishes of the
best of the American people. His recent can
didacy had the appearance OF being prompted
by the spontaneous wishes of large fraction
of the Republican party; and although his
suppor.ers in the Convention did not show the
strength they seem to have counted on, yet
they were strong enough, both in numbers
and in character, to pay remarkable
| tribute to their favorite candidate. 1t Is
no slight honor to be the first choice
| of earnest reformers like Schurz, Dana, Bry-
| ant, Adams, and the other eminent men who
took up Mr.. Bristows cause.
| 1t has long been notorious that Mr. Bris-
tow's relations with Gen. Grant were not
cordial, and that his position in the
Cabinet was a very unpleasant one. But
for the anticipated effect of his resignation
upon the transactions at Cincinnati, the pres
sure of private business would have called him
away long ago. But we regret that since he
has borne with annoyance so long he could
II. II. e -
term. We regret it for the sake OF the coun-
try, which loses q valuable officer, and
we regret it for the sake of Mr. Bristow,
who lays himself open to unjust criticism by
appearing to confess that after the nomination
at Cincinnati he has no further object III re-
manning at the Treasury. We do not believe
that Mr.. Bristow's public career Is or ought to
be ended by this Convention. He is still
| or he was till ho resigncd--a hero in the
| eyes of great many thousands of people,
| and he might have gone on accuIDuiatinS
| fame by the same vigorous performance OIL
duty which has made tho reputation he enjoys
already. Tho Republican party might have
| meat use for him yot and many who were
unwilling to support him for the Presidency
because they knew little about him, would
have been glad Of the opportunity to Learn
more There were perhaps private ree-ons.
however, which compelled Mr. Bristow to tho
step he has taken.
The country may well feel concern "a to
the character Of the Secrctarys successor.
Gen. Grant cannot fail 10 give us q hard
money man, but VIC do not believe no will
! ever repeat the experiment Of appointing such
an eager investigator Of frauds upon tho
revenue.

II is not mt all likely that the House Com
mttcc on Naval Affairs will be able to bring
home to Secretary Robson the charges which
have been 80 freely bruited in connection with
the Caitcll family, their contracts with the
Government, and the remarkable amount of
influence which they at different times put
upon the market. The loose and bungling
manner Of the investigation, It's laundering

yEyTD QUESTION DECIDED.

At last we have il upon the authority OF the
Court of Appeals that lager beer was
within tho intention of the Assembly in
the act regulating the sale of "ale or
.'becr., or other intoxicating beverages. This
il "a decision in accordance with common
sense and the rules Of common construction.
OF tho actual purpose of the Legislature, we
have never had any doubt. The decision,
which afiirms that beer was included In the
general phrase 4" Intoxicating liquors" and that
lager was included in the general word
beer" ought to stop the traffic in malt bev-
cragcs in every garden and saloon IN the city
ON Sunday What will be the practical effect
of the ruling remains to be seen We wish
that the Executive Committee of the Liquor
Dealers Association would content itself with
legitimate efforts to procure the repeal Of laws
which it does not like. On the contrary, 1t
constitutes itself society for promptly fur
nishlng bail to law breakers, and in advising
liquor sellers to keep their front doors closed
on Sunday it hints at secret violation of
the statute, which is more dscreditable and
damaging to the public peace than any open
defiance Of the law could possibly be. There
il only one satisfactory course which can he
pursued by those who regard "a law as i'm
polite OF Onerous. They are at perfect liberty
to seek its repeal and until it has been so re-
pealed they are to obey it to the letter.
The noisy and we may say fussy dem
onstrations against the saloons We're not
continued yesterday; but the law was
quietly and firmly enforced SO it
had been, indeed, to considerable ex-
tent before the recent extraordinary dem
onstrations. The police for several weeks
had been closing the obnoxious shops Oh Sun
day under the orders of the Commissioners
The work might have gone on etfectually, or
rs nearly SO as circumstances would have per-
mitted but for the introduction of pOlit-
Ical element The raids as they were
termed, were made with similar purpose,
with which the good order and tenn
pcranco Of Sunday had but little to
do. 1t is now apparent that the law is suhi-
cient, if enforced for very considerable
suppression of an obnoxious traffic. All that
is necessary is to go on mcthodically and
persistently. This can be done without disturb
ance or violence, as it has been done for
several Sundays while those who do not like
tho law ought to understand that its vigorous
execution will do more than anything else to
accelerate its modification.
