costly building monument to their own
departed taste is timely one, and the
people demand that it shall receive imme-
date attention. Ajumbling of Romanesque,
Renaissance, Gothic and half dozen other
schools of architecture may indicate to
wondering public the almost boundiess
scope of the architects professional libraries,
but the information thus conveyed is hardly
worth the fifteen or twenty million dollars
which the new building is to cost. We al
ready have enough ofarchitectural eyesorest to
last us until time shall end. If we lived
in land of earthquakes the case would not
be so sad, for then we might have at least
the consolation of knowing that some day
our unsightly Capitol would become pic
turesque stone heap; but as there is no
prospect that at Albany the wrath of nature
will ever come in mercy to relieve the eye
of man the Capitol will prove least often
sive if completed according to the ugliness
of its original plans.

In view of the evidence before the jury
charged with the investigation of the acct
dent at Ashtabula, it appears highly proba-
BILE that there is at last case in which
everybody concerned is not to be exoner-
ated, whitowashed and vanished. 1t has
already been shown that this style of bridge
was not adapted TO the difficulties to be
overcome at this point that it was not put
up even in accordance with the plan, but
modified in II sense to make it's deficiencies
still greater that it was put up by persons
who "did not know how" it should
be done that important elements of the
composite structure, having fallen out, were
not restored; and now it is shown that when
the bridge was first placed it would not
s.sustain it's own weight" but had to be
taken down and put up again, and still
again, with patched up contrivances to
make it equal to that first requirement OF
holding itself in position. Yet this is the
bridge over which the public has been carried
for years, and the real wonder is that it did
not 90 down under the first train ever sent
over. If such disregard to human life on
the part of company can go unpublished
there is certainly no remedy for the public in
any case to be found in the criminal law.

Immediately after the close OF the Centen-
NAL it became comically evident that all the
other countries in the world were poor by
the production of pianos. Our enterprise,
ingenuity, genius and artistic skill were SO
bewilderingly manifested on every side that
the judges appointed to say who made the
best pianos had to give it up. Blinded by
excess of light, they put up one hand to save
their eyes and with the other passed out
"highest" awards without distinction to
everybody that reached for them. Thus it
came about that the Centennial Commits
sioners certified of several persons, sub
stantially, that each made better pianos
than anybody else; or, rather, that each
in lis instruments that the attempt to
discriminate was vain. This queer fact
made very picturesque appearance in the
advertisements for time and then dropped
quietly out Of sight but now, like sup
pressed fever, it has broken out anew and
RACES in angry subacid communications in
all the papers. 1t appears that one of the
holders of the first medal resented the pub
lication by one of the other half dozen that
he also held the first medal, and called
upon the courts for an injunction. So there
was chance that the great piano problem
would really come up in court, and that we
might have a deluge of testimony and elo-
quence on the subject to make the doubt
more terribly deep as to who really does
make the best pianos. But the attempt to
obtain an injunction has been withdrawn,
and thus there is yet glimmer of hope that
the great snarl may yet be ravelled out.

On the Wrong Tack.

Both houses OF the State Legislature have
already been flooded with bills and resolu-
tions in relation to life insurance companies
and the interest taken in the subject is o
gratifying proof That its Importance is prop
erly appreciated by our legislators But
none of the propositions seem to touch the
main evil or to reach far enough to afford
sufficient protection for the public. Expert
ence has shown that it is useless to ask
such institutions for exhibits of their ex-
penditures in salaries, commissions, counsel
fees and similar items, or for lists of their
bonds and loans on real estate. All this in
formation is given, and ought to be correctly
given, in the annual reports required by
law; and if deception can be successfully
practised in those reports it can be prac-
tised also in the special statements called for
by the Legislature.
Two things are needed to secure the hold
ers of policies in life insurance companies
first, revision of existing laws that will
restrict the investments Of such institutions
to unexceptionable securities, and make
trustees, directors and officers civilly and
criminally responsible for any illegal or IL
regular action and, next, capable and
faithful Insurance Department, held to the
strictest accountability for any neglect of
duty. A company may make its reports,
but these ore valueless unless a competent,
firm and incorruptible public officer scru-
tinizcs all the details, searches thoroughly
into all the securities, tests and criticises
the expenditures and obtains positive proof
that the institution is as sound in fact as it
processes to be on paper. With these re-
forms the policy holders would be safe, I'M
sound companies would be speedily wiped
out and sound companies would be spared
the injustice and injury of constant sus-
picions and Investigations.

THE WEATHER yesterday throughout the ter,

tinc A light rain fell in the morning at San
Francisco where the weather was threatening,
and an area of cloudiness covered the eastern

but clear weather is reported from nearly all the
other districts. Tho depression now moving
over the lake region is attended by brisk winds
In It's southern and eastern margins. The high
eat pressure continues in the Southern States,
From indications along the Gulf coast it is proba
bic that another depression is advancing
uorthcastward through the Gulf of Mex

cold weather in the West is believed to have de-
stroyed the eggs of the grasshoppcr and Colorado
beetle or potato bug. This will prove of great

President Grants Approval.

We have never entertained any doubt that
the Electoral bill would receive the Execu-
tive approval. The successful result OF
the Joint committees labors was mate
rally aided by the repeated express
sion of President Grants views as to
the expediency Of an agreement by the
two parties on method of counting the
electoral votes, and his Endorsement of the
plan eventually adopted was no doubt one
cause of the large majority cast for the
bill in both houses Of Congress.
The news from Washington published
this morning confirms our previous antici-
pations, stating positively that the
President will sign the bill and return it to
the Senate during the AFTERNOON, with n
message giving the reasons for its prompt
approval. The Presidents course has been
admirable during the exciting period inter-
vening between the election and the passage
of the committees bill. He has combined
entire impartiality with firmness which
has had the effect of placing strong re-
straint on partisan violence. No person has
doubted for IN instant the serious sincerity
of his ayowal that he would see his
legally elected successor duly inaugu-
rated and there has been no warrant
for suspicion that this promise
would not be as faithfully carried out
should the legal choice fall on Mr.. Tilden
as it would be if Mr.. Hayes should prove
successful. The determination of the Pres
ident to accompany his approval of the bill
with special message setting forth the
necessity for such measure is wise and
fortunate. His views will tend to promote
satisfaction with the settlement among re-
publicans, and to give the whole country
additional confidence in the committees
work and the tribunal it creates. Such q
message as the President will doubtless
write will give brilliancy and honor to the
closing days of his administration.

To-day, as on every other Monday that
late years have brought us, there are thou
sands of people bemoaning the misuse of
Sunday. and particularly the drunkenness
and brawls which, among certain classes OF
people, seem the peculiar distinguishing
marks of the last day of the week. The
blame for it will all be placed where the
same critics have heretofore always laid it.
upon the rumsellers-and many will be the
ton which shall sweep out of existence
these liquor dealers and their danger
GUS property. But are the reformers
under the impression that the clos
ing of all the liquor shops, if such
work were possible, would compel
Sunday oilers to change their habits? Have
they ever squnrely faced the fact that, ex-
cepting the churches, which do not on any
Sunday prove attractive to half of the peo-
pie who make pretence Of attending them,
the rumshops are the only places that are
open to that great mass of restless, unde-
vout and yet not vicious men whose homes
are cheerless and without social attractions,
and who have natural and proper longing
for warmth, personal comfort, entertainment
and association with other human beings?
The rumseller offers seats around fire, files of
newspapers, tables for games, and frequently
provides modest lunch; he hangs his wallis
with pictures, none Of them by the old mas
tiers and some which richly deserve effectual
burning, but all more interesting than the
blank walls Of boarding house chamber or
a cheap lodging room. What has the would
be reformer done in the same line and in
opposition to the liquor dealer? Nothing
absolutely nothing. Between the church
and the rumshop there has been provided
no place where man averse to rum, yet
without strong religious feeling, can feel at
ease and find occupation and entertainment
for his mind. room or two of this kind
in every ward could be filled every Sunday,
even if a small admission fee were charged;
way house exists on New York SOIL If the
reformers want to close the rumshops let
them operate as they would if the matter
was one Of business instead of sentiment /;
let them start opposition houses. Let them
open their pocketbooks and prove their
principles by their works ; in short, let the
reformers reform themselves. After such OF
them do so as have in them the stuff of the
genuine reformer perhaps those who have
talked only for talks sake will be shamed
into quietness, but liquor dealers will be
no more prosperous on account of such
silence and friendless humanity will be
better off.

SUNDAYS SERMONS appealed alike to the dcvout,
the anxious, the curious and the intellectual.
Among their topics were creed and conduct;
man as the child of God; the duties of the
Christian physician; the Day of Judgment;
the sin of coveteousness; Gods mercy ;
the way of safety; the love of
God; Christ's prayer for his murderers
and the arrogance Of moral teachers. At tho
Cathedral Cardinal McCloskeys secretary read
the invitation issued by some of the Roman

short, firm step we could cross the frontier
and be in safe territory. BUTT would require
Congressional action, and we do not expect
Congress to deal with this subject during
the few remaining weeks of an outgoing adj
ministration. But we believe that the law
requiring resumption in 1879 will stand and
be made efficient, and with this prospect in
view business will tend more and more
during the ensuing two years toward the
specie basis. Most business engagements
having more than year or two to mature
will be made on gold basis.
Whether it be Mr. Hayes or Mr.. Tilden
that is declared elected by the new tri-
bunal our Southern troubles will come
to an end. Mr.. Hayes would not be
bound by the Southern policy of his
predecessor, and events have SO fully
demonstrated the expediency of allowing
the Southern States to manage their local
affairs that we may expect the same non-in-
reference from republican as from dem
ocratic administration. Those States are in
q fair way to compromise their State debts
and once relieved from the fruits of the
carpet-bag incubus they will start on new
career of hope and prosperity. They will
become q more capacious and valuable
market for the manufactures OF the East
and the products of the West than they were
before the war; They will recover their
great importance in the mighty and mu-
tually supporting circuit of our business
interests, stimulating national production
by vast and stable market.

The Scicn tiic' Street Cleaning Bureau
Expedition.

Expedition.
While the world Of science is struggling
against difficulties innumerable in the effort
to solve the problems Of nature it is pleasant
to record m instance Of success which is
deserving of the admiration of our commu-
nifty. TIE expedition fitted out at the pub
lie expense, but directed by the Scientific
Street Cleaning Bureau, is achieving re-
markable triumph in its operations and win
ming fame among the frigid regions of Union
square. When we calculate the difficulties
to be overcome by this gallant band OF ex-
plorers we are lost in amazement Mt the vigor
which characterizes their efforts. Already the
sledge and pick parties have succeeded in
penetrating to the frozen wilds of Four
teenth street, and some hundreds of cart
loads of dirty ice have been dumped into
the turbid currents of the Hudson River.
The devotion displayed by the officers and
men of this expedition is truly admirable.
Fired with zeal in the interest of science
they have conquered obstacles to their
northward progress which might well have
discouraged their predecessors. They have
laid bare the pavements of past ages long
covered by the glaciers, and their voices
may be heard among the SHOWS of that re-
gion where hitherto silence reigned su-
preme. We do not hesitate to repeat our
statement of some days ago, that Fifty
ninth street may yet be reached 'if it takes
oil tho cummer"
