Department and Gas.

Elsewhere in our columns will be found
these times "Urbanity and courtesy" are
now to be found in the offices Of gas compa-
MES. They are strange things to be found
in such places. Independence has been
proverbially recognized as the great moral
attribute of wood sawyers; and impu-
dence and a general tendency to adopt an
insulting demeanor toward protesting pub
lie are equally known as the distinctive
characteristics of all persons employed by
gas companies. So it has been for time
from which the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary but now we hear that these
persons are attentive; that they listen to
what people have to say that they admit
the possibility that their complaint may be
we'll founded that they inquire into the
matter. This change has been pro-
duced by kerosene. 1t seemed strange
when people heard that the beautiful
new colors in silks and ribbons, invented
in these days, were produced from kero-
sene; and it seems a fact equally remote
from the nature of this fluid that it should
mend the manners or improve the heart of
man in a gas office; but it has evidently
done both. BY an article on gas, given else
where, it will be seen that greater wonders
yet are to flow from the use Of kerosene for,
through the invention described, it seems
possible that every large establishment may
yet make all its own gas.

The Inconvenience of living near gum
powder mandatory is very great, and the
haste with which people who find one grow
ing up in their midst remove from its vicin-
ity or combine to have it removed may be APP
piled to the state of mind in which the
American citizens along the Rio Grande
find themselves with revolution in
full blast on the other side of the
river. Our dispatches acquaint us with
very disagreeable condition Of affairs at La
redo, Texas, and New Laredo, across the Rio
Grande. where, after the perpetration of an
outrage upon an American citizen, the Next
can federal commander had fight with the
revolutionists, in which stray missiles
wounded four persons on the Ameri-
can bank. The revolutionists repulsed.
the Mexican commander opened fire upon
the American soldiers on this side of the
river, to which Major Merriam, the United
States commanding officer, replied by drop
ping two twelve-pounder shells into the
Mexican town. These are acts of war on
both sides, the exact responsibility for
which it is difficult to assign at present, but
as the facts are stated Major Merriam has
the point in his favor of having acted on the
defensive.
What occurred at Laredo yesterday may
occur to-day or tomorrow at other points
along the Rio Grande; and as the United
States do not propose to move away from the
river because a few ragged cutthroats Of one
or other Mexican kind are fighting
for supremacy in Mexico, the situation
becomes particularly delicate. On the
other hand this country is now in no mood to
take the trouble of removing the Mexican
boundary back to the mountain line. Hence
it becomes absolutely necessary that meas
ures should be taken to prevent the recur.
renee of these disagreeable episodes between
the citizens of countries nominally at peace
This is to be done by keeping such force
upon the border as will overawe
the fighting ragamufins Of Mexico and
placing it in the hands of prudent officer
of high standing who can be relied on to
make such dispositions of his command as
will make rencontres unlikely. The whole
business Of official communication along the
Rio Grande needs to be strictly regulated. We
cannot, for instance, understand what right
Major Merriam had to cross the river and
handy words with the Mexican commander,
The gallant officer was probably led away by
sheer motives of humanity, with which, as a
soldier, he had nothing to do. 1t is hard,
no doubt, that American citizens and
soldiers should be shot at without
replying in kind; but as we have no
desire to see the United States hurried into
war by such acts the government should
take prompt measures to prevent their repe-
tition. The President, his Secretary of Wan
and the General of the Army will be held re-
sponsible for preserving the peace by prompt
and dignifed action.

or down. Perish the thought that great
hickman should stand on such triies! But
if the prices were adjusted, as were the
prices in other bills against the city. with a
view to dividing with the persons who aud
tied the bills, then we can understand how
the great hackman got his ideas up on the
subject OF prices. But we can assure him it
is time to get his ideas down. The Ring is
extinct, and the public mind is getting into
that normal tone when people refuse to pay
for any service a cent more than just what it
is worth. Let Van Ranst be easy about
irresponsible drivers. People do not mean to
be victimized by them. nor by responsible
ones either.

ANOTHER PHRASE FROM GRAST.-Once
more Grant has given us phrase which ex-
presses pithily and happily thought and
aspiration of the whole people. He is
famous for his phrases. Several of them are
inseparable from the history of the war On
some occasions he concentrated the pro-
Rramme of campaign in an epigram; as
when he said, "the Confederacy is SHELF
OF, II will fight it out on this line" DC. His
declaration to the republican party, that it
was sstime to unload" was of the same sort
Now he expresses, with sense Of Impotence,
his wish that the 4th Of March, n, were
already herein short, that he were out Of
office. How deeply and widely the whole
American people are with him in this re-
spect, how precisely he has given words to
their thought in uttering his own, he can
never understand.

After a short trial the butcher of Simmons
has been convicted of murder in the first
degree. Had the crime of the killing not
been supplemented by the atrocious butchery
of the remains the defence might have been
heard to some effect. AS the crime stood,
in all its horror, the story on which the
prisoner relied to save him from the gallows
could not, in minds unused to fine legal dis
tinctions, outweigh the inference to be drawn
from the revolving means employed to hide
the body of the murdered man. The in
stances of men frightened by the conse-
quences of an act legally or morally
justifable into really criminal efforts
at conccalment are not unknown to
students Of criminal practice. These
surround case with great difficulty,
for the color given to the first transaction by
the acts that followed is often such that the
truth is extremely likely to be obscured. In
Fuchs case the utter depravity exhibited in
his mutilation of the remains Of Simmons,
his cunning, and the vile moral atmosphere
in which the crime TRANSFERRED, gave
the same bestial color to his defence
that similar story told by a dog
would have done. It could scarcely be ex-
pected to help him among ordinary men.
The first ballot Of the jury, we are told,
showed that six Of them totally disbelieved
this story; that five accepted it in part, and
only one out Of the twelve in its entirety.
That all of them finally rejected it and
agreed to make the offence the highest
known to the law shows that what may
have been feebly grasped at first by
some of them rs the legal grade
of the crime per Sc could not be
defended by them when opposed to the
strong reasoning of the majority based on
the whole story Of the killing, the mutilation
and the concealment. 1t resulted in
verdict which will be accepted by the
public; for, no matter how the story of the
provocation has been received, no one will
say that such o miserable wretch as the
prisoner is too good for the gallows.

Van Ranst seems to be regarded as the
magnate of the hackmen-the person whose
consent must be obtained and with whom
terms must be made before any change can
be permitted in regard to the use OF tho
street for cabs. He is evidently satisfied
with things as they are. So long as the law
will permit and the public will pay him he
will be happy to fit up vehicles to carry
man or q woman about the streets at two dol
lars nm hour, or at a dollar mile, which
would be about five dollars an hour. If he
could keep his coaches constantly employed
at this latter rate for, say six hours day,
or thirty dollars for each coach, the bust
ness would pay; not extravagantly, but so
that man need not complain. Indeed, if
the public had to pay him five dollars mile
there is reason to believe that he could stand
it. 1t will not astonish any one to find that
this owner has an unlimited capacity for
regarding any sum paid for any service
as no more than sufficient, for was he not
trained as to the expenditures of the public
in the school Of the Tammany potentates,
who now patronize the omnibuses in Brus-
sells or walk in Montreal? He was the Hack
master General Of the Ring days, and in all
the accounts for carriages that figure in the
municipal documents of those days he had
nm interest. No one suspects that when his
bills we're sent in to the city he made them
higher or lower as the price Of oats was up

Rip van Wrinkle in tho white nous.


It is not generally known, but yet seems
to be established on competent evidence, that
in the past seven years is a mystic
number-there has been in progress in this
country, on grand scale, one Of those cases
Of oblivion that have SO often attracted the
attention of poets and philosophers. Irving
has set what may be called the oblivion
myth, in popular style, in the story of that
idle and amiable old reprobate, Rip Van
Wrinkle. 1t was written in another age that
a man walking through forest heard the
voice of bird, and stopped to listen to the
most enhancing music that ever smote hui
man ears He listened for little while, as
he thought, and then went on to the neigh
boring village; but seven years had passed in
what seemed to him moment Of delight.
This thought has, in short, reappeared from
time to time in various forms, garnished with
different fancies rs the imaginations
Of the poets of different countries
adapted each to the customs and
comprehension of his own land-the
ever applicable truth that lifetime may
slip away in what will seem but moment in
the revelries of pleasure, and that, by the
man who is lulled in the delights of the
senses, duty, honor and every vital obliga-
ton are forgotten. But, though this comes
up in various forms in the hands Of the
poets, who would have looked to see it come
up as a fact at the national capital? Yet
that is the case before u.s. 1t seems that as
soon as Grant reached the White House he
fell into modified form Of this kind Of OBJ
livion; a lethean dimness came between his
vision and the world; lethargy seized upon
the warriors will This fully accounts for
the change the people noted in the character
of the acts that were called Grants acts be-
fore he went into the White House and the
acts given out as his after that period. No
effort was spared by men about him to guard
his slumber-to perpetuate the trance that
separated the hero from the world as it knew
him. Babcock, the faithful secretary, kept
q hop pillow under his head, and filled
the air with the vapor of peoples and
the drowsy music of well poised fiattery.
Williams darkened the windows and packed
the keyholes to keep out noise. Duties Of
this nature were divided between dozen.
And while they kept him in this slumberous
condition they iran him as piece of Pres
idential machinery. They made appoint
ments through him-governed in his name.
SO it went on for seven years. Then came a
democratic investigating committee and
walked him up, and now he comes forth to
find himself in rags as to his reputation-an
old man in world he cannot recognize, and
gazed upon by people who cannot recognize
in him the gallant soldier whom they
elected President seven years since--a man
who has slept while the house he was APP
pointed to guard and keep has been tumbled
to ruins about his ears AT such sleeper
indignation might be fierce but for the pity
that will rise with il, and pity might soothe
his remorse but for the truth that pity is in
separable from contempt.

ICELAND is better off than was believed.
The volcano-vomited pumice dust that was

makes the grass grow where it never grew
before, and the islanders who were threat

Mr. CoNKLING AND THE PRESIDENCY
The generous manner in which the Sun
supports the claims of Mr. Conkling for the
republican nomination shows discernment
and liberality which never appear to SO
much advantage as in independent journal
ism. Mr.. Conkling represents the courage
and discipline of his party, and SO long as
we have two parties in our politics the wis.,
dom of independent journals in supporting
the real leaders of each organization is COM
mendable. More than all, we are glad to
welcome the Sun into these high realms of
politics and to the consideration of national
questions from q national point of view.

The USsEATrNG OF NJ. RouHEH by the
French Chamber Of Deputies. on the ground
that letter from the Prince Imperial exer-
cised an unconstitutional dynastic influence
on the electors of Ajaccio, may be polite in
France, but reads strangely here. We have
not spark Of sympathy with the Vice
Emperor or his pack of Adventures, but an
nulling the votes of the Corsican electors for
such reason is certainly straining matters
to dangerous point In effect, too we
doubt its wisdom. for Ajaccio is Bonapartist
almost to man, and will probably re-elect
NJ. Rouher or Prince Napoleon, and whether
a Bonapartist comes as an avowed imperial
list or disguised as republican leaves very
little choice Of evils.
