Life Saving Medals.

We print to-day the order Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to the Director Of the
Mint to have struck two ''life saving medals"
of gold of the first class--one for Colonel
Schuyler Crosby, The other for Carl Fosberg,
seaman, formerly of the yacht Mohawk.
This honorable distinction is conferred
under an act Of Congress cited in the order
for ''heroic daring in saving and endeavor-
ing to save human life The tragic event
of the loss of the Mohawk is no doubt still
generally remembered. She was going down
the bay with holiday party on board and
was as near as may be the reality Of Gray's
picture:-
Fair smiles the morn and soft tho zephyr blows,
And gayly riding oer the azure realm
In gallant trim the gilded vessel COOS,
Youth on the PROV and Pleasure at the helm.
Suddenly the scene was changed, how
ever. Badly handled in sudden squall
the yacht was capsized. her ballast shifted
and it was impossible to right her. There
were at the moment she went over some
eight or nine persons in the cabin, and FIVE
of these were drowned despite the heroic
exertions of Colonel Crosby and Carl Fosberg
to help them out. Every one will agree that
the honor the government now pays to those
efforts was calamity and devotedly earned.

Hobart Pacha's intentions or orders with
regard to the bombardment Of Odessa figure
in the dispatches again to-day; but we
doubt whether the Russian city has yet
heard the sound Of his guns. Indeed, if tho
Russian torpedo system has any value what
ever, the duty of bombarding Odessa must
necessarily be very wet one, and from
what has actually occurred on the Danube
it is to be inferred that the Russian torpedo
system has very substantial value. All
the vim was taken out Of the whole feet Of
Turkish monitors by the results of the
encounter of one of their number with
two torpedo boats, and it is very certain
that the story has not improved the
morale Of the Sultan's navy. Still there are
some substantial advantages to be gained for
the Ottoman cause by bold stroke at Rus
sia, and if Hobart Pacha is the man for the
occasion, of which there is as yet no evil
dence, now is his time. Russia, it seems,
has borrowing capacity not counted
upon generally, as she is able to draw
upon the resources of her own SUBJ
jects to the extent Of two hundred
million roubles-an evidence that her peo-
pie have both money and confidence. Both
will be greatly needed if the war does not
move with sweep in short time. In Asia
it has certainly gone forward as rapidly as
could possibly be expected, and 1t may be
unreasonable to demand more in single
campaign than has already been gained
there. But the attention Of the world is
fixed on the Danube operations, and there
the war drags and it is to be apprehended
that Russia will lose men terribly if her
armies do not soon emerge from the marshy
districts near the river.

The Police Commissioners appear to have
settled the question of dumping" in ac-
cordance with the custom Of the old politi-
cal, school. They dump tho enormous
street cleaning appropriation into the pool
Of lazy, worthless. sweepers, cartmen and
drivers furnished them by ward politicians.
and the garbage in the bay or the North
River orwherever else they please, and ask,
after the example Of Tweed, ''What are you
going to do about it?" The old Police Com
missioners having enjoyed the honor of es-
tablishing a pest hole on the east side Of
the city by means of what Professor Chand-
Ter would call the healthful bouquet OF the
Harlem flats, the present Commissioners are
endeavoring to rival their predecessors
fame by establishing well supplied maya
zine of disease and death on the west side.
The Street Cleaning Bureaus scows, under
cover Of the night, are said to be dumping
their foul loads along the North River. The
Police Board is evidently inclined to be i'm
partial. As the east siders have been COM
PEELED to bear tho evils entailed on them by
the fetid vapors Of the Harlem flats, the
Board probably deems it only fair that the
heretofore healthful and beautiful homes Of
the west siders along the Hudson should re-
ceive their share Of the poison, and then,
from whatever quarter the wind may happen
to blow, the city is sure to be impartially
and thoroughly impregnated with the foul
breath of the garbage dumps
If the city did not pay a princely fortune
TO these incapables for cleaning the city and
protecting the public health they might
have some excuse for getting rid Of the gar
bage by dumping it wherever chance offered,
without regard to consequences. But they
swallow up the public money as sand swal-
lows up water, and show as little for it. 1t
is their duty to bring intelligence to bear
upon the garbage question, and to invent
some means Of getting rid of the garbage
without risking pestilence in the city. IT
they cannot do this they arc. unfit for the
positions they hold and Mayor Ely, in
stead of allowing himself to be bullied into
making new partisan Police Commissioners,
should set to work to get rid of the present
Board. When the city needs cleaning the Com
missioners leave it in filth Clothed with the
duty of removing the garbage for the protec-
ton Of the public health, they make it
more critical peril to the public health than
it would be if left to rot piecemeal in the
streets. Yet all tho time they swallow up
every dollar of liberal appropriation made
to enable them to do just what they neglect
to do. Is not this cause enough for their
removal?

West Point Grad yates.

The Board of Visitors seem to be satisfied
that the National Military Academy was
never administered with more intelligence
General Schofeld, although Congress, by
misplaced economy, has curtailed the
means of making this important institution
useful. Between seventy and eighty cadets
will be graduated this week and become en-
titled to the brevet rank Of second ieuten-
ants. We notice that some Western jour
nails take this occasion to find fault that the
government is put to the expense of edu-
eating and paying so many officers whose
services are not needed. It is even advised
that if the Academy is to be longer main
tanned only small proportion of the cadets
should receive commissions and the rest be
dismissed to the pursuits Of civil life when
they have gone through the course of stud
les, the five or ten who stand highest in
their class being retained. This absurd
suggestion has not even the merit of being
n logical consequence of the clamor for the
reduction of the army. 1t is asked, indeed,
what possible justification there can be for
a large annual crop OF new officers if there
are to be no men for them to command
This is shallow question. 1t is because
we maintain but small standing army
that we need IN abundant supply Of
capable, trained officers. AS often ms
necessity arises for large armies we are
obliged to cxtemporize them. 1t would be
impossible to transform vast bodies of raw
recruits rapidly into efficient soldiers with
out the services of corresponding proper
ton of thoroughly competent officers. 1t
is safe to have our standing armyso small
rs we always make II in time of peace only
because We regularly train officers enough
to promptly convert citizens into disci-
plined soldiers in emergencies. There could
not be wiser measure Of economy than the
Military Academy, which keeps us always
within few steps of an efficient army for
large military undertakings without the ex-
pense OF supporting one when it is not
needed. We create and support what is the
life and vigor of armies--abe officers. With
n sufficient number of these we can quickly
organize great armies whenever they are
wanted.
The idea that we should commission
every year only the Ave or ten cadets who
stand highest in their class is, If possible.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-06-13

still more absurd. It Is safer to let the
ablest OF them go into civil life than the less
gifted. In point Of fact many of the ablest
do always resign their commissions in time
of peace. because they find more lucrative
employment as civil engineers, architects,
professors in schools of science, and man
ayers of railroads But the superior men
who thus leave the army in peace promptly
return to it on the breaking out Of war. A
large proportion Of the most distinguished
officers in our late civil war were West
Point graduates who had gone into civil
life. They had not forgotten their military
education, and had acquired great deal OF
other useful practical knowledge which in
creased their fitness for high commands.
The bulk of more ordinary graduates, who
remained in the service, were kept fresh In
the routine matters requisite for training
recruits into soldiers and filling subordi-
nate places. 1t is not necessary that
all army officers should be great gen.
erals, but multitude of good routine
officers are needed in the organization
Of new army. Hence the utility OF giving
commissions to all graduates and retaining
them in the service until they are tempted
to resign their commissions by the chance
of lucrative employments in civil life. These
exceptionally able officers are sure to come
back the moment a war begins because
their superior talents insure them the high
est prizes in q war Of any length. The
Military Academy is our only guarantee of
efficient armies in time Of war, and it ought
to be very literally supported
