"No Seat No Fare"

The throwing out of Mr.. Killian's bill to
legally affirm the right of every passenger on
the horse cars to seat for a fare shows that
the railroad lobby has been busily and, so
far, successfully at work. 1t is, indeed, pitt
able that by using arguments with two or
three of ''the boys" the member from
Squash county, the members for Squirtville
and Tadpoletown, and getting the mem
Der for Rings to keep out of the way, city
like New York should be left at the mercy of
grasping monopolies willing to pay the
price. OF the New York members of the
Committee on Railroads, to which Mr..
Killan's bill was referred Mr.. George Y.
Whitson is said to have gone over body and
soul to the monopolies while Nicholas
Muller kept out of the way when the vote
was taken. The adverse report of the
committee was accepted by the Assembly,
but this by no means need end the fight.
In the first place, Mr.. Killian's bill was de-
fective in not providing adequately for the
enforcement of the mo seat no fare" rule;
and although Mr. Killian was willing to
have it amended in accordance with the
draft of bill drawn up for Mr.. Bergh, no
steps were taken to that end The fact that
the adverse report on the Killian bill was
rushed through the Assembly in Mr..
Killian's absence shows that the majority of
the committee had carefully calculated their
time. The proposal now made to have the
bill discussed in Committee of the Whole
may bring out tho real feeling of the House
upon the subject, and will at any rate put i'll
the pillory of public scorn the members who
can provo so recreant to their trusts us
to choose in favor of the plundering horse
car companies and pickpockets of New York
against public decency and comfort. We
should like to see in full list of yeas and
nays the names of the creatures of the horse
car companies who are willing to say by
their vote that tho tired working girl, the
weary workingman and citizens generally
have no rights that the grasping monopolies
and the pickpockets, their allies i'll plumber
ing tho people, are bound to respect The
admirable draft of a bill submitted by Mr..
Bergh should be substituted for, or its main
provisions incorporated in, Mr.. Killian's bill.
Tho monopoies must be taught that ''con-
vincing" the majority of a committee is n
different thing from buying up an entire
Legislature, or else the Legislature must so
down to history rs the cheapest and most
contemplate of the line of iibels on law
making bodies that have earned the disgust
OF the people.
The New York herald., 1876-03-17

would not be, but he could and would turn
the scale in favor of some honest rival of
sound views. Reform ought to be the para
mount issue, and we wish well to every
Presidential candidate who has a record as q
reformer. If Mr.. Tilden should develop
strength and become formidable his oppo-
nents would be forced to bring forward
a man of high integrity to compete with
him and we care not who the individual is
if the Convention will only nominate thor
oughly incorruptible man. For the same
reason we should be glad to see Mr.. Bristow
go into the Cincinnati Convention with a
strong support. We do not know that he
would make a good President, but if he
should grow formidable as a candidate no
republican of low moral tone would have
any chance for the nomination, or, at worst,
Mr.. Bristow's supporters could turn the
choice in favor of the least Objectionable of
his rivals We wish that every State con-
vention, of both parties alike, would pledge
its delegation to some citizen of high and
unquestionable probity, that the honest men
of each convention would combine to defeat
the trimmers and tricksters, and then let the
strongest of their own number win.

Miasm and the Park Ponds.

For the production of the miasm to which
intermittent fever is due it is held that the
combined operation of heat and moisture on
vegetation is an essential condition. De-
cayed vegetable substances newly turned
over and exposed to the summer sun; excava-
tions made to depth beyond that reached
by the plough and which thus expose quanti-
ties of earth rich with vegetable mould; or
swamp lands whose grasses are covered by
water at one season of the year and exposed
to the sun at another-cases like these supply
the conditions for the production and ex-
tensive dissemination of miasm. In the
case of the ponds just drained at the Central
Park there were perhaps some elements of
danger. Pond beds may become so packed
with decayed vegetable substances that the
whole body of their water is q saturated solu-
tion of gases resulting from such decay, and
as the water is vaporized in the summer sun
the gases thus given off would be harmful.
But the case would be even worse if there
should be any considerable difference of
level at different seasons as matter sub
merged at one time would in the dry warm
weather of early autumn be thus exposed to
the scorching heat. 1t is a good precaution
that has been taken, therefore, in the clean
ing of these ponds. Some apprehensions
are expressed that disease may be caused by
the present exposure of the matter taken
from the bed of the ponds, which has been
used on lawns; but there is no danger in
such exposure without warmer days than
any we ever have in March. Mud taken
from the bed of a pond is not agreeable to
the nostrils in pleasure garden, and that
is an objection to such use of this substance,
but it cannot affect the public health.
The New York herald., 1876-03-17
The Case OF Rubenstein.

We have no doubt that the verdict which
sentenced Rubenstein to the scaffold is just
one We have never seen any reason to
think the contrary. But, at the same time,
it will be mistake if this sentence is car
ried out without hearing before the Court
of Appeals. Such hearing is the un-
doubted right of every one in peril of life
by legal sentence. The only trouble is
that the law is SO loosely constructed that
this right depends upon the whim of judges
who may be under the pressure of an angry
and unreasoning public opinion. Ruben
stein is an alien. He belongs to small and
peculiar sect, sect which, from its paucity
of numbers, its peculiar faith and its sorrow
full traditions of persecution and suffering;
is entitled to more than usual consideration
from those who administer our laws. There
should be no possible right denied to this
prisoner which is open to any other citizen.
Yet We have the courts reprieving Dolan
from time to time and giving him o
hearing before the Court of Appeals.
Dolan is under sentence of death for
a murder much more atrocious than
of an innocent, unsuspecting citizen who
was striving to defend his property People
will ask why is it that the murderer Dolan-
and no one, we believe, doubts that he is q
murderer, and justly under sentence of
death-can have SO many privileges, while
this poor Israelite is denied them all. We
think that Dolan is entitled to his hearing
before the Court of Appeals. We would not
withhold from him any privilege of citizen
ship; but we ask the same right for Ruben
stein. We cannot help thinking that if
Rubenstein were defended with the persist
ent ability shown in other cases he might
secure this right. 1t seems to be miscar-
riage of justice to deny it to him.
The truth is that our whole law of capital
punishment needs revision. 1t should be
more certain and swift. When prisoner is
condemned to death he should be entitled
to an appeal to the highest tribunal in the
State. 1t should be made the duty of the
Court of Appeals to hear it without delay
! Once the sentence is confirmed there should
be only short time before the execution.
These delays are unjust to the people, who
suffer from the delays in justice, and uni ust
to the prisoner, who hangs between life and
death like the victim of some horrible
Chinese torture. The law does not wish to
revive the torture, no matter the enorm ity
Of the offence.
| Let us have the whole system of capital
punishment revised, and, in the meantime
we trust that some judge will be brave
enough to give Rubenstein as good chance
for his life as Dolan. There should not be
one code of justice for the Jew and another
for the Gentle.

The Coming Princes.

The announcement comes officially that
we are to have at least two princes with us
for the Centennial Exhibition. The Emperor
Of Brazil will sail in a few days from Rio
Janeiro in Brazilian man-of-war and di-
rectly for New York. The second son of the
King of Sweden will come later The EN-
peror of Brazil is one of the most distin-
guished of living monarchs, not only be-
cause of his ancestry, which is of the high
est but from his patriotism and personal
character. AT time when it is generally
thought that prince is only another name
for n rich and privileged vagabond the En-
peror of Brazil is one of tn he most indus
trious of students and among the most adj
vanced thinkers of modern times. He comes
from a sister American nation, in whose for
tunes we have always felt profound and
friendly interest. lie will have republ-
can, which he will see to ba even moro than
n royal, welcome The son of the King of
Sweden will also be welcomed with unusual
hcartiness. No European country has shown
so much interest in the Centennial rs Swc-
den. We have a vast number of Swcdes,
and no people have adapted themselves so
readily to the higher and better duties of
citizenship America owes n great deal to
the influence of the scandinavian character
in building up her States and Territories,
and a visit from tho son of tho King of
Sweden and Norway will be peculiarly graf
flying.
IT is hardly to be expected that We shall
have an overflow Of foreign visitors. Any
such calculation is wild one, based upon
our American enthusiasm and our DISPOSE
ton to regard tho Exhibition as new and
brilliant .oy which no ono has ever seen be-
fore, and which all the world will hurry to
scc But oil tho world, with the exception
Of the United States and Brazil, have seen

Diplomatic Retreat.

On February General Schenck profered
his resignation, and on the 9th was informed
that the President did not deem it necessary
to act on that proffer, but on the 11th he was
informed that the President had recon-
sidered the subject and would accept the
resignation. He, therefore, wrote his resig-
nation of the 18th and mailed it on the 10Th.
On the 21st, when this document was two
days out, he asked leave of absence to re-
turn to the United States and face his ac-
cusers. Such leave was accorded on the
23d, but he was informed that the inquiry
was only into the conduct of the State De-
partment, and that consequently he had no
accusers. On the Goth he was told that his
appearance before the committee would be
appropriate, and he said he would sail on
the steamer of the 18th of March, and re-
quested that action on his resignation be
suspended. On the Sd of March he was told
that action on the resignation could not be
suspended, that it would be acted on as soon
as received. 1t was then thirteen days out.
He sailed next day-March f. His resigna-
ton was received here on the same day. He,
therefore, left London ION leave of alb
sence" on the same day on which his resig-
nation was received in Washington. If he
had sailed on the 18th he need not have
come on leave of absence, but might have
come as Minister resigned. sBut then he
would have been some days without the
cover of his diplomatic privileges, and might
have been annoyed" by the courts.

G1BRALrAR, in addition to being an Eng

Spanish smuggling. AS England backs her
impious opium trade in the East with all the
force of the Empire, so she looks with a

remains to be seen whether she will sur
