MINOR DANGERS IN NEW YoRK.-The sud-
den death of two passengers on the Ply
mouth Rock excursion beat by stepping
off the vessel at Twenty-third street. on
Wednesday evening, is an event which
should call down the severest censure upon
the authorities who have charge of our
wharves and docks, as well as upon the
managers of the Plymouth Rock. The evil
dence is that the boat came in toward midi
night The night was dark There were no
distinguishing lights on the vessel or the
dock The two passengers walked into
tho water and were drowned. We trust
the Coroner's jury will mako n search
ing inquiry into all the circumstance. and
award the blame where it belongs. If tie
city is to blame then let the verdict deter
mine. II the managers of the Plymouth
Rock are to blame that vessel should no
longer have public patronage or support.

The FREE BATHS are becoming as popular

HE FREE BATHS are becoming as popular
with the women as with the men, and on
''ladies' day" are filled with graceful swim
mers who illustrate the poetry OF motion"
in the water. We have made many urgent
appeals to our city authorities to increase
the number of these health-giving establish
thousands of toilers who cannot afford to go to
Long Branch or Rockaway for bath. Must
the summer pass before this great public
need is supplied? Hurry up the contractors,
Mr.. Commissioner of Public Works, and let
the people enjoy what the people must pay
for anyhow.

A HINT TO GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN The
Chicago Times, the leading democratic news
paper in the Northwest, in discussing the
Hamburg massacre, comments upon the prop
osition to g silence or unload" Sitting Bull
Butler and the South Carolina Sioux. sThe
only way, says the Times, 'to satisfactorily
silence the Hamburg assassins is TO hang
them by the neck until they are dead" This
is a heroic remedy, but the epublic opinion Of
the North-without distinction Of party.
and with the exception of Sunset Cox--is in
favor of such treatment When Southern
men discover that the murder of negro

The CHANGE OF WEATHER which we ON.
nounced yesterday is coming on us rapidly,
and during to-day storm of considerable
violence will probably pass over the vicinity
of New York. Rain areas now extend from
the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and the
precipitation in the former region is particu-
larly heavy. The influence which we an
ticipated would be exercised by the Ale
ghany Mountains on the movement of the
low barometric area, causing DETECTION of
its eastward course toward the st. Lawrence
Valley, has produced that result, and yes
terday afternoon the isobars indicating the
variations of pressure trended northeast and
southwest along the mountain chain referred
to. This shows that while the low barome-
ter moved steadily eastward on the northern
end the portion of the area of high pressure
south of the Alleghanies was held by the
elevated ridges of that range of mountains
and continues to pour its air currents into
the depression formed to the northward.
With the coming rains the temperature will
rise, and we will have n repetition for
short time of very warm weather. We may
also expect high winds along the coast, par
ticularly that of New England.

BLUFoRD WILSON'S TESTIMONY before the
House committee to investigate the st. Louis
whiskey trials is exceedingly painful in
more aspects than one. General Babcock il
still further exposed, and it is discreditable
in view even Of the single instance of bad
conduct and Justification adduced by Wilson,
that he should be allowed to retain his rank
in the army But there is scarcely any ex-
cuse for retailing the story attributed to
General Horace Porter of the origin of the
''Sylph" despatch, or at least so much Of it as
refers to the President. Mr.. Wilson himself
declares that he disbeleves it, and it is not
creditable to him that he should relate
story which has no real connection with the
whiskey cases, and the only effect of which
will be to subject General Grant to unneces-
sary and unfavorable criticism.

OPPOSITION TO PUBLIC IMPBovEMENrs.-
During the last few years it has become
customary to hamper great public works
by the aid of the courts. 1t has been sought
to prevent rapid transit by means of legal
proceedings, and now judicial authority is
invoked to forbid the construction of the
Brooklyn Bridge. The consequence of q
battle in the courts over every legislative and
Congressional grant will be to transfer the
worst elements Of the Washington and
Albany lobbies to the halls of justice, and
10 taint even the administration of the law.

Tho Plans for tho Custer NIonument


/ The following letter from ON architect of
this city is one of many evidences we have
received of the interest taken in the Custer
monument
To EDITOR THE HERALD
beg leave to Offer my services gratis for the Cuscr
monument. AS subordinate at that time, designed
the Gettysburg, the Lincoln and other monuments,
an have designed not few since have been in bus
ness for myself Respectfully,
GEORGE KELLER.
We are glad to see this spirit of liberality,
which, no doubt many American artists will
emulate Of course the offer of Mr. Keller
must besubmitted to the proper committee
which will, no doubt, in accordance with
the usual practice, invite artists to compete
for the honor of designing the monument.
The Custer Monument Association, which
will have the final charge of the matter, will
want the best design it can get, provided
that its cost does not deplete too much
the fund raised for its erection. An
expensive plan, which would leave lit
tie money for the marble and the
actual work of sculpture and building
even if Michael Angelo could furnish it,
would be out Of the question. On the con-
trary, poor design, costing nothing, ought
not to be accepted because its author was
patriotically generous. The best available
design is what the subscribers to the fund
wish the association to adopt. A distin-
guished American sculptor has offered to
furnish plan for ten thousand dollars and
we trust his offer will not be considered.
The Custer monument is not a government
job, but tribute of the people to one Of
their bravest soldiers and all his comrades
who perished, with him in o noble cause.
They wish to make it worthy of the illus
trious dead and of the country. The less
the design costs the more money will remain
to make the monument magnificent Mr..
Keller has set his profession an honorable
example and shown the true way to build
noble memorial of the heroism Of Custer and
his troops. Any American artist should be
proud to supply the best plan in his power
and should be ashamed to seek personal
profit at the expense of an act of national
gratitude. We are glad to learn that Mr.
Belmont has consented to act as treasurer of
the fund, and his eminent position as an
authority in art and the iberality and judg-
ment he has shown make him the best per-
son to whom the plans for the monument
should be sent.

in any preceding event of the season, the

The GARBAGE WAR reflects little credit
upon any of the parties concerned in it.
Which of them was most to blame it is diff
cult to decide The question at issue was
one to be submitted quietly to the courts,
and the presence of either the New York or
the Brooklyn police was unwarrantable and
inexcusable. Shore Inspector Ferguson was
wrong in courting counter demonstration,
and the New York Police Commissioners be-
haved like schoolboys trying to get up a row
on the slightest provocation. The proper
course for the Shore Inspector to have pur-
sued was to obtain warrants for the arrest of
the men on the scows, in order 70 test the
question, and to demand the aid of the Po-
lice Department Of this city in arresting its
own servants.

slightest chance Of winning for if they

its sad fate and repenting its wasted career.
