Chris tnms Is Coming.

Although Christmas is still several days
distant the sunshine and gladness of the
great Christian festival have begun to
warm the current OF our lives. On what
ever side we turn we arc reminded OF the
great event of nearly two thousand years
ago, Of the modest inn at Bethlehem, of the
little child. OF the star and the wise men
and the song of the shepherds. We see it
in the brighter and kindlier faces that
throng the great avenues OF the city; in the
great storehouses Of trade and commerce,
filled to overlooking with appropriate gifts
it is presented to us in books and in many
colored pictures in poetry and In prose !;
in the churches and even in the prisons in
the quarters Of squalid poverty and in the
stately homes Of wealth and fashion. The
time draws near the birth of Christ, and its
influence is upon all the land. To the fathers
Of the present generation the coming festi-
val was in this city on event of far less So
cial and religious Importance than it is to-
day. Forty years ago it was not as with us
a red letter day, in fact, the day OF days. 1t
was, to be sure, observed, but in o very diff
ferent fashion from what it is now. 1t was in
great measure time Of lawlessncss, when
the long forgotten kalathumpians played
their Wild orgies and INDUCED in the rude,
but time honored, license Of beating the
night watchmen or changing the signs Of
tradesmen. All this has fortunately passed
away. Christmas has become with us what
it is in the older countries of the world-a
season of charity and we'll doing, Of the re-
newal of broken friendships, of tho cement
ing OF the love of children and parents, of
peace and good will to oil the world.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-12-20

An important feature of the conference
between the Board of Education and the
Board of Apportionment reported to-day
was the reference to the charge that the
Board OF Education had expended five
million dollars Of the public money without
warrant Of law. 1t was the opinion Of some
members of the Board Of Education that
this charge is completely answered by the
opinion Of the Counsel to the Corporation
holding that the law which defined the
limit Of expenditure for the instruction Of
children was in effect repealed by the law
which created the Board Of Apportionment
and gave it authority over these expendi-'
lures But there are those who hesitate to ac-
cept this opinion as final and do not regard
it's authors as competent to settle the
point. If the Legislature has declared that
only ten dollars shall be spent in any one
year for the instruction of every child taught
in the public schools and subsequently
gives q commission authority over the ex-
penditures it is not by any means clear that
the second law repeats the first It sho uld
rather be assumed that the intention was to
give control within the limit previously de-
clared, unless there are words in the statute
absolutely inconsistent with such ON inter-
probation. Judicial determination of this
point would be preferable to ON official
opin ion.

If there is any one branch of the city
government in which reform is more needed
than in any other it is, perhaps, the Cor
oners' Office. The expense to the city Of
conducting it is outrageous; the service is,
rs rule, bad, and the results in nine cases
out of ten are OF the most. unsatisfactory
character. An enormous amount Of money
is annually expended which might be saved
to our sorely pressed taxpayers, and with a
proper system, such as has been adopted in
Massachusetts, for instance, we should have
some assurance that our inquests are not, as
they too often are, mere meaningless formal
tiles, held for the sole purpose, it would
seem, of taking money out of the treasury.
The inquest just held on the unfortu-
mite May Bell is n case in point. What
case? All the facts of her death were as
clear as daylight She had been attended
by respectable physician, who informed
the Coroner Of all tho particulars of her ill
ness. In card, elsewhere printed, this
gentlemen declares "there was no necessity
for post-mortem examination, nor was one
ordered by the proper authorities. The
Coroner fully understood my object in hav-
ing him take charge Of the remains" Again,
we ask, why was this inquest held? If
merely to take money out of the treasury
the taxpayers ought to know it. Certainly
that is the only substantial end that has
been gained by it.

did not simply want peace but only peace
on the basis of the recommendations Of the
Constantinople Conference. As Turkey be-
lieves THAI the course taken implies war
Russia cannot afford to feel any confidence
that it does not. Indeed, as operations cam
not make great progress in the winter the
parliamentary advice with regard to peace
would be in ample time at the regular meet
ing OF Parliament but haste can only DO
necessary if the government wants to have
money in time to give to military prepare
ton all the period between the present and
the date when operations may be resumed
That this is desired, or that it is hoped to
make men believe that it is desired, seems
clear. and the opinion of the Russians
seems to be expressed in On order Tor
another levy of sixty thousand men.

Commissioners of 1876 which requirements
have been accepted by the railway CON-
pany. The provisions are that upon the
general trains Tor all distances on the
east side of the city, not exceeding hve
miles, the fare is to be limited to the excess
Of ten cents and not to exceed two cents per
mile for each mile or fraction of mile over
that distance but fifteen cents is to be the
limit for the entire route to Harlem Bridge
and seventeen cents to High Bridge. The
ten cent fare is to carry q passenger on
either the east or west line from the south
ern extremity to Fifty-ninth street "Com-
mission" trains are to be run on both
sides OF the city on the east side
from the Harlem River and on the
west side from Fifty-ninth street-at
half these rates Of fare. from hali-past five
until half-past seven o'clock in the morn
ing and from five until seven o'clock in the
evening The law has, therefore, protected
the laboring classes to this extent. But
aside from this limitation the managers Of
the rapid transit lines have sufficient intel
ligence and enterprise to make their roads
profitable and popular by giving such
facilities to the laboring classes as their
necessities and the real interests Of the
companies demand.

Custer,s Com RADIO.

Eighteen slow months have crept by since
Custer and his three hundred soldiers died
in the fateful valley of the Little Big Horn.
can be gagged in the present generation; it
is lesson which the politicians of to-day
seem quite unable to learn and even the
military brothers of those who fell are
not as tender toward their memory as was
Caesar toward that of Pompey; yet these
blemishes upon the nations character are
faint beside the stigma, resting upon some
one, of neglecting the sacred and essential
duty of giving sepulture to the CHASTITY
bones which still lie in piteous exposure on
the field Of battle. Some weeks ago COM
mon soldier, who had served out his enlist
ment and returned home, wrote strongly
and sensibly in the press on this subject
The expeditions which last summer visited
the spot, if they really attempted to give
burial to some OF the remains, did so in a
manner that would not be just to those Of q
murderer just cut down from the gallows
The coyotes of the wilderness have since
dug them up; and, worse still, human
wolves have helped in the sacrilege. 1t has
been stated, and not denied, that an army
surgeon has gathered some of them together
and subjected them to scientific expert
ments, and this, too, at q military post,
where the comrades and perhaps the widows
and orphans of the victims must bitterly
realize the poignancy OF the outrage. An
officer, just arrived in this city, confirms
these facts in the main, with strong en-
phasis Of indignation. The vulgar me-
chanics, employed by the government to
build barracks at the new frontier posts,
amuse themselves when they have leisure
in plucking from the skeletons pieces
of bone or garment to keep, sell or give
away as mementoes. Were the private
soldiers permitted they would eagerly per-
form the last rites Of humanity over what is
left of the dead, but they seem to be re-
strained from general effort by the exigen-
cies of military duty and discipline. The
conveying away of Clusters remains, gallant
and noble as he was without, when the OPP
portunity was present, covering more effect
ually those Of his humber but not less
glorious followers, was not altogether cred
table to those who were engaged in it. What
public care could be too costly or elaborate
to preserve mark of their resting place to
posterity or to. family Indicate national
sense Of their devotion? There should
be reared an obelisk appropriate to the
fame of those who ought ever to sleep
under the sod which they consccrated with
the libation Of their blood. Governments
cannot afford to be ungrateful toward the
shades of their departed defenders, and
since the army has not prevented the infamy
OF this neglect Congress should relieve the
people from it by action which shall in itself
be n historical monument

The Excise Fury.

In another column will be found COM
mnnication in which DR.. Howard Crosby is
especially called to account for some Of the
loose, erroneous and iliberal declarations
of which his address on the sale Of liquor,
delivered a few nights since, was made up.
There is scarcely statement made thus far
in this dispute by the so-called temperance
men that is not equally open to criticism.
But their words and their acts are equal
in nonsensical inconsequence and in the
evil results they are likely to produce. The
attempt to govern the people of this State
from the fanatical standpoint Of the awfully
virtuous minority cannot succeed, as
even the minority must admit if plainly
questioned. Liquor will be sold, therefore,
and the only chance to prevent the greater
evils that may result from the traffic is a
good license law. They cannot fairly be
called real friends of Temperance who are
opposed to such system and who take
every unfair advantage against it.
