Mayor Ely has signed the resolution re-
questing the Corporation Counsel to inform
the Board of Aldermen if it is in the power
of the Common Council to pass IN ordi-
nance to prevent the overcrowding of ex-
cursion steamers leaving any of the piers of
the city. 1t is to be hoped that some means
may be found to put stop to practice
that if continued will assuredly bring about
some deplorable calamity. If full grown
idiots who choose to risk their lives on
overcrowded boats, from which in case of
bad accident there can be but slight chance
of escape, were the only passengers on these
excursion steamers no person would be
much troubled about the result. But women
and children, who know nothing of the
peril they incur, are led by the thousand
into these life traps, and they would mainly
be the victims in case of an accident. The

that she did not send those flowers to the
Schitzenfest. For if she had it is horribly
apparent from ono Of our dispatches she
would have ceased to be IAN adopted alma
mater" Precisely what IAN adopted
alma mater" is we do not know
and Mrs. Hayes does not know--and
never will for she is charm
ingly typical specimen Of the good
women OF this country, who "know that
which before them lies in daily life" and
scorn the fume and pretence Of those
attitudinizing, absurd and ridiculous
''weird sisters" of the day who go about in
woman's garb and get up societies and lay
down platforms. Let us hope that no SEN
sible person will think the worse of Mrs.
Hayes because some petticoated fools pre-
tend to admire her, for it may be that they
also have some private ends to gain, like
the dog that went mad.

In another column will be found an article
quoted from the London Saturday Reuie,c,
the writer of which will appear to the sensi-
BILE reader as person to be numbered in
the category of those who "came to laugh
and remained to pray" As the public
generally is aware this so-called Re
cleo is publication whose primary
function is to sheer at all things and
all persons from standpoint of superior
wisdom. 1t objects in a style more or less
savage to all things said or done in the
world at large, save, of course, to the few
small and smattering things said by the
Saturday Reviep. 1t is in journalism what
the frightfully smart fellow commonly is in
good company, a bore and a nuisance, and
one who for his pretence and his incapacity
equally merits and receives the contempt
of the judicious and the pity of the benevo-
lent. In the article to which we
refer this tremendously critical journal
violates, in evident ignorance, all that is
known and recognized in grammar, style
and geography, and describes lines of pro-
jected discovery as somewhat parallel =
and defines the termination Of one specified
line as ''some point on the Equator" the
fact that point so described may vary
within three thousand miles being un-
worthy the knowledge or notice of sneer-
ing journal. But it is fact of consequence
that journal which represents the sneering
species of thought recognizes, in spite of its
evident inclinations, that the exploration of
the African continent has at last beceme one
of the important activities of the world and
has, in fact. passed into that second stage
where the knowledge accumulated by the
earlier explorers is to be classified and steps
taken for the permanent occupation of the
vast region in the interests of civilization.
1t was said long ago that the British mis-
sionary was followed by the British Consul,
and the Consul by the army. From the ar
guments in the Reuie,o it is to be assumed
that opinion in England is ready for the Sec
ond step toward the appropriation of that
rich continent

Fourteen hundred and fifteen democratic
delegates meet in convention at Richmond
to-day to nominate Governor and make
platform. There is, of course, the greatest
desire for Harmony" but it is admitted
that whoever is nominated an Independent
ticket will be run. There is no longer re-
publican party in Virginia, and "the great
conservative party" as the democrats have
fondly called their organization, is top
heavy, waterlogged and ready to split to
pieces, to the great advantage of the Com
monwealth of Virginia and of the country at
large.
The present dispute in Virginia is about
the State debt. A HERALD correspondent
elsewhere gives an account of what is pro-
posed by some and opposed by other
democrats. The struggle is evidently bitter,
and the division in the party already irrec-
oncilable. Nobody need fret about it. II
is a good thing for Virginia to have two par
ties each of them with some brains in it il
is good thing to have the color line swept
away, as it is and it is all one ofthe benei-
cent results of the Presidents Southern
policy.

We are now in the midst of the most dan
gerous season of the year for the spread OF
malarial diseases. Decaying vegetable mat
ter and stagnant pools and marshes, under
the heat of the August sun, exhale their
deadliest vapors The old pesthole OF the
Harlem flats, always public nuisance and
peril is now more offensive than ever and
more hazardous to the public health. The
newer hotbeds of disease planted by the
present street cleaning authorities threaten
the lives Of all who are unfortunate enough
to live in their neighborhood. When, in
addition to these permanent dangers, we
have neglected and filthy streets in the most
garbage is left to rot in the cutters, and
where the street sweeper and the garbage
carts are myths we may well wonder how it
is that our bills of mortality do not present
more startling increase of deaths than they
do and that the metropolis is spared from
being swept by pestilence.
The Street Cleaning Bureau, we have no
doubt, spends the full monthly proportion
of its appropriation every month. How it
is expended in fine weather is known only
to those who manage the affairs of the
bureau. Certainly the people receive little
or no benefit from it. We might almost as
we'll be without any appropriation as to have
the public money wasted as scandalously as
it is in this street cleaning business. Dur
ing the winter, when the snow is on the
ground, the people are told that there is no
power in the bureau to remove the obstruc-
tons Of snow and ice because there is no
special appropriation for that purpose.
The streets are, therefore. absolutely neg
lected, not even the ashes and garbage
being carted away. Yet the proportion Of
the years appropriation WAS found to be ex-
hausted every month during the snow
blockade. Now that the streets are clear,
and that there is no difficulty in the removal
of the accommodating filth, the garbage is left
to rot in the dirty cutters in many localities,
and yet the months money goes as usual.
1t will be well for Mayor Ely to inquire into
the action--or rather the inaction-of the
street cleaning authorities. The money al
lowed for street cleaning is amply sufficient
to give us clean streets in every quarter of
the city, but while it is wasted on political
brooms and carts the public will never de-
rive any benefit from it,

Bay Ridge boat which got aground few
days ago with a large load Of passengers on
board was not even supplied with oars for
its boat, SO that the means of leaving the
vessel to seek for aid were not provided.
This is criminal carelessness, and is punish
able as such, the law which requires a
steamer to carry boats of course intending
that the means to propel the boats should
be provided. The greed of the proprietors
of these excursion boats induces them to
pack on board every passenger that offers,
and unless the law speedily steps in for the
protection of the public we shall assuredly
receive q lesson that will teach us greater
prudence at a very heavy cost

plus, else it is wasted and does him no good.
If you prevent him from selling this surplus
you condemn him to idleness and poverty.
But the same is true of nation we must
sell our surplus products. Our laws pre-
vent us from doing SO, because they forbid
us to buy in return. Secretary Evarts said
rightly, the other day in Philadelphia, that
this is not question of protection or free
trade. 1t is question of existence; 1t is
question of bread and shelter and clothing
for four millions of Americans who are now
surplus, who cannot gain livelihood, who
are starving and who are gradually becom-
ing tramps because restrictive laws dis
able us from selling what they could make.
Why can we not sell our surplus manu-
features abroad? Because our laws forbid
us to buy in return the products OF other
countries, which yet we need. There is not
gold and silver enough in foreign countries
to buy what we need to sell. Four millions
surplus because of q set of absurd and
antiquated laws and commercial treaties
which make it impossible for us to sell our
surplus manufactures abroad. Every in
dustry is PROSTATE for the same reason.
Does any sensible man believe that the
country will tolerate Congress given up
to party mannuvres, session spent in at
lacking the Southern policy, in raising the
''bloody shirt" in petty and vulgar squab-
bles over offices in the presence OF this
universal suffering? Senator Lamar is
right; the questions of tariff. trade. COM
merce, transportation begin to engross the
attention of the people, and these are the
tive questions which wise public men will
hasten to discuss as soon as Congress meets
and which will so press for discussion that no
demagogue will be able to keep them back.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-08-08

We notice with regret disposition in the
press to attribute the silly and mischievous
Communistic resolution in the Cleveland
platform to Senator Stanley Matthew'S MI.
Matthews is neither an ignoramus nor q
demagogue, and the author of that resolution
was certainly one and probably both. The no.
ton that man Of brains and education. like
Mr.. Matthews, would ask Congress to enact
laws to ''secure fair returns for capital in
vested" in railroads and "fair wages to
employees is absurd. 1t is more likely to
have been the sharp work of some hired
attorney of q bankrupt or improbable rail-
road, who would like to middle the ques-
ton Of wages to workingmen by parallel
demand for a government guarantee of profits
to the corporation.
We notice also an attempt by some of the
anti-administration republican journals to
throw doubt on the good faith of the Con-
vention's approval of the Southern policy
But all accounts agree that o very large ma
jority of the Convention were enthusiastic
cally in favor of President Hayes whole
policy. There are few ''soreheads" in
Ohio; but they did not even attempt to
speak in the Convention.
Finally, we see with some concern that
Mr.. West, the candidate for Governor,
and some other republicans are trying to
explain away the currency resolution, and
pretending that it means nothing, or that it
means opposition to the Resumption act
This is nonsense. The Cleveland platform
means resumption; it favors double stan
dard, gold and silver, but in the clearest
manner demands on honest silver dollar,
worth dollar in gold. 1t is, as we said the
day after its adoption, an honest platform,
: so far as currency is concerned, and salts
factory to every man who is opposed to in
fation, except to those few who demand q
single standard. We hope the Ohio repub-
licans are not going to be scared by their
own thunder. 1t was not by being FRIGHT

The President orders that all trade with
the Indians of any district where they are
hostile by which they can come into possess
sion of arms or ammunition of any kind
shall be forthwith discontinued Authority
for this is given by the law in several places
and would result without special enactment
from the Presidents power as commander
in-chief. This order is wise and timely /:
unless, indeed, as to its timeliness the OBJ
lection may be made that it should have
been issued many months since. But now
that the order is issued what are the pros-
poets for its enforcement? It does not of
course, concern the propriety of issuing an
order to say that 1t will prove idle It
is the Presidents duty to do his
part and give fair trial to that
which is good course in theory.
If the supply of arms and ammuni-
ton to the Indians with whom we are at
war cannot be stopped by any means now
in the hands Of the government it is well to
know that and give Congress the chance to
supply means adequate to this important

soon have done with the Indian war now on
foot if this order were enforced vigorously;
but the order will enhance the price of am
munition in the Indian country, and that
increased price will be temptation that
will not be controlled by the penalty Of
confscation. If under this order q COM
mander of troops might shoot few traders
with a little of their own ammunition il
would prove of more value.
