The rufianly policeman, Michael Cleary,
who SO brutality dubbed an unofending
citizen of Brooklyn little over q week ago,
has been lodged in Jail on charge Of assault
with intent to kill. The condition of the
injured man is critical and the prisoner is
held without bail to await the result.
Should his victim die, as the attendant
physicians think he will. Cleary will be
tried for murder. There will be no diff
Guilty in proving that the deadly assault was
premeditated, and the ruffian's words, while
he was coolly beating the life out of his VIC
tim, were that he would ''kill him." It is
to be hoped that the man may recover. but
should he lose his life through the assault
the spectacle of bloodthirsty policeman
dangling at the end of hangman's rope
would be lesson of inestimable value in
the two cities. In such an event the fellow
should 80 to the gallows in his uniform,
with his bloodstained club in his hand, and
a deputation of New York policemen, headed
by Captain Williams, should be in attend
ance at the gratifying operation.

Horse Car Hints.

One Of our Complaint Book entries sug-
pests the division of the seats in the horse
cars-as is done on all the ferry boats-by
means Of an iron arm, which sets off the
space allotted to every individual. This
would render it impossible to cram in few
more on either side, and would prevent that
probably more common evil-the occupa-
ton by three or four selfish people of all
one side of q car while timid or difident
passenger stands up and contemplates their
sublime indifference to his or her exist
ence. The only reason we know why the
horse car companies should not adopt this
system is that it would be convenience to
the public. Complaint is frequently made
that people who get into tho west side cars
to come down town are landed at the corner
of Canal street and Broadway through their
having taken cars not marked Vesey street.
This is mishap likely to occur to any per-
son not constantly riding on these lines,
who are forgetful Of the Canal street diver
sion or do not even know how to distinguish
the cars. Why should not the conductor be
authorized to supply every passenger thus
mistaken with a coupon good for one hour
for the rest of the ride down town on the
cars of the same company?

Judiciously enforced, qualified with some
discretion as to their application, there is
no doubt that the laws in regard to the pre-
vention Of cruelty to animals would be
useful to the community, and would be
universally sustained by public opinion;
but the enforcement they receive is GER
tainly preparing the way for their inevitable
repeal or great modification at no distant
period. As applied these laws are mere
covers for all sorts of tyrannical and Off
cious intermeddling with concerns that have
Mt most only q constructive relation to the
objects of the law. 1t is outrageous that
poor wretch who gains q meagre livelihood
in the gutter should be compelled to pay
heavy fine because he has his dog to help
him in his labor, and because the two work
hard together. There are cities in the Old
World where great deal of labor is done by
dogs. Are those, therefore, barbarous
cities? In Belgium they have the breed of
big mastiffs that once exclusively hunted
the wild bears in the forest of Ardennes,
but now these great beasts drag the milk carts
in the cities In Brussels n milk cart is
scarcely drawn in any other way than by
dog team. Dogs are in fact utilized there as
ponies are in England, md people who
could keep neither horse nor pony yet
have in their dogs o handy team that trots
away to market every morning with the
product of the dairy and helps to support
the family. Is that barbarism or an Geo.
nomical use Of the means at hand? Why
should not gigantic cur from Newfound-
land, weighing hundred and fifty or two
hundred pounds, do his share of the work
MS we'll as puny boy of half his size? And
is it not nonsensical mockery to say that
it 10 cruel to compel a dog to do what is
done necessarily by oil the children Of the
poor2

Lees confession, made in view of death,
of the history of the Mountain Meadows
massacre SO plainly incriminates Brigham
Young as to leave no doubt on the mind Of
the unprejudiced reader that the Mormon
leader was cognizant of that horrible
slaughter and q party to it. But this
is moral conviction only, and unless
the crime can be legally brought home
to him it would be unwise in the govern
ment to initiate proceedings, for the fail
ure to punish would have o bad effect.
1t is, therefore, point of very great
public interest whether or no it is not
yet possible to obtain evidence to prove
legally that guilt of which there is
morally no doubt. Many stories that have
appeared in Western papers since the pub
LEGATION in the HERALD Of Lees confession,
and many statements made by frontiersmen,
seem to indicate that there are persons hav-
ing knowledge Of the occurrence who are
now willing to tell all they know. Some Of
them may themselves have been accessories,
and are now frightened at the fate of Lee
and the indication that the heads of their
Church have given them up; but whoever
they are the occasion to make them Of SER
vice in the enforcement of justice should
not be lost. It is just possible that the
criminal law may yet solve the most difficult
parts of the Mormon problem.

A correspondent, in letter published in
yesterdays HERALD, suggests that we should
have Compliment Book, as well rs Com
plant Book, and that one of the first to be
complimented should be the Commissioner
Of Public Works. ''For the first time in
eight years." writes our correspondent, I'VE
have water on our third story. Two months
ago the HERALD complained we had not, and
we have had it ever since" The writer
dates his letter from Fifty-second street,
and we congratulate him on his temporary
good luck in the way of water. We believe,
however, that the improvement in his supply
must be attributed to local causes. We have as
many as o dozen letters from residents in the

to set of against his single communication
on the other side. Householders along Sew
uptown streets are seriously Inconvenience
by the scarcity of water. In many instances
the flow in the second story, even when the
basement faucets are closed, is a mere drib-
bling, and no water at all can be obtained
on the third story. There is no reason why
this evil should exist. 1t ought not to con-
time m hour
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-04-02

foundations? This specious argument
may be easily exploded. In the first
place there is no certainty that the
excellent plan of the Municipal Com
mission will be ratified by, or even sub
mitted to, the people ofthe State. 1t would
be unwise to suffer evils which may be
promptly remedied during the two or three
years required for amending the constitu-
ton. In the next place, there is no conflict
between the bill which has passed the Sem
ate and is pending in the Assembly and the
plan of the Municipal Commission. They
are substantially the same system, except
that the plan Of the commission goes further
in the same direction and is more efficient
and thorough. Both alike require a
spring election. Both alike give the
Mayor the sole power of appointment
and removal, and clothe him with au-
thority commensurate with his response
bility. Both alike deprive the Legislature
and the local Common Council of control
over the tax levy, comforting it upon small,
separate and more responsible body. The
plan Of the commission constitutes this body
in different way, and its whole scheme is
endangered by limiting suffrage to tax
payers. But, after all, the two systems are,
in the main, identical In the third place,
the passage of this charter by the Legisla-
ture, instead of obstructing the constitu-
tional amendment, would contribute to its
success. When the new charter is found to
work well in this city there will be no
objection here to making it permanent by
engrafting it in the constitution, and its
beneficial effects would progresses public
opinion in it's favor in other parts OF the
State. AS means of securing the constitu-
tional amendment nothing could be wiser
than the passage Of the new charter. If the
amendment fails our own city will still have
the most important benefits of the plan. If
the amendment succeeds it will work but a
slight change in this municipality and put
us to no perceptible inconvenience.

Railroad Greed Against tho Public
Good.

Good
The trunk railroad freight wars are grow
ing to be such serious public evils that it is
worth while to inquire whether some ma
tional legislation not liable to constitutional
They unsettle values, injuriously affect
commerce among the several States, which
Congress is empowered to regulate" and
are constant injury to all steady CONNER
cial interests. No one is really benefited
by them. When grasping corporations,
eager to outbid each other for the transport
tation business, adopt the cutthroat policy
Of carrying goods and produce below a fairly
paying rate, a few sharp operators may make
contracts and secure petty temporary adj
vantage over other dealers. But in their
turn they suffer from similar success on
the part Of their competitors. In the end,
after the roads have become sick of their
losing game and are ready to ''kiss and be
friends" they make the public pay in exor-
bitant tariffs for the losses their own rival
ries have entailed upon them.
1t is only few weeks since the bitter
"railroad war" in which all the trunk roads
were engaged during the fall and winter
was apparently ended by treaty Of peace.
The terms Of the agreement then made have,
it is said, been faithfully observed by the
New York Central, the Erie and the Penn
sylvania Central. The Baltimore and Ohio,
on the other hand, is accused Of keeping
the word Of promise to the ear only, and
of privately making rates against the letter
of the agreement and unjustly discriminate
ing against New York bound freight. Mr..
Garrett may be very sharp railroad man,
but he has evidently yet to learn that fair,
open dealing must lie at the founda-
ton of all solidly successful bust
ness. The Baltimore and Ohio road
in the recent war was found not to be in
such good condition to defy its great COM
petitors as was supposed. Its reported sur
plus, which was to support it in diverting
trade from New York. vanished in smoke.
1t was found to be q surplus very much like
the assets of some of our savings banks and
insurance companies AS the New York
Central, Erie and Pennsylvania Central
seem now to have made up their minds to
let the Baltimore and Ohio have oil the fight
it desires, we may soon hear of another
patched up settlement But the constant
recurrence of these disturbing contests is
deplorable injury to all steady, legitimate
business, and they ought to be rendered i'm
possible by legislation.

The WEATHER.-The storm centre has moved
from the Missouri Valley eastward over the
lakes, and is, as we write, passing between
Toledo and Oswego in southeasterly direction,
which, however, may be changed during to-day
to northeasterly, The pressure has increased at
the centre Of the disturbance, but will probably
fall again when the storm reaches the coast.
During yesterday morning the rain area cx-
tended from Omaha to the Atlantic, and south
ward into Louisiana and Alabama, but as the
day advanced the western limit of precipitation
moved to the Mississippi River. The heaviest
rain occurred at Nashville, Tenn. where 1.79
inches fell during sixteen hours. The winds on
the western side Of the storm have been very
heavy. Gales from westerly points prevailed at
Omaha and Duluth in the morning, and at Chi
cago, Milwaukee and Toledo in the afternoon.
The temperature within tho immediate
area of depression is very high, but
westward and northwestward falls with
great rapidity. The temperature in the
South and along the Atlantic coast is high. The
stecp barometric and thermometric gradients be-
hind the storm favor the development of local
tornadoes in tho regions of the Missouri and
mississippi valleys. The highest pressure is now
over the British Atlantic provinces The Ohio,
Missouri and Cumberland rivers have fallen, but
the Mississippi has risen during the past twenty
four hours. We repeat our warnings regarding
dangerous gales on tho Middle and North Allan
bic coasts during the next few days. The weather
In New York to-day will be warm and cloudy,
18th rain, followed toward night by falling tenn
perature and increasing southwestcrly to west
1rly winds.
