Getting ria OF a white Elephant.

Getting Rid OF q White Elephant.
The President Of the Board Of Police is
strongly in favor of using the Little He'll
Gate passage as dumping ground, for the
reason that it will at once relieve the Police
Commissioners from an awkward dilemma.
The question is how to get rid of the city
refuse. It cannot be used to fill the sunken
lots, says President Smith. because Of the
cry of malaria and disease. It cannot be
dumped in the lower bay, because the Pilot
Commissioners protest that it will fill up
the harbor. It cannot be taken out to sea
by means of steam tugs and scows during
the winter or in stormy weather. So the
President of the Police Board and his asso-
ciates Jump at the chance of pitching it
into the Little He'll Gate passage and thus
getting rid of their white elephant without
any further trouble.
The prospect of immediate relief is so
tempting that the Police Commissioners
propose to commence the work by violating
the law Housekeepers are required to sepa-
rate the ashes from the garbage, or rather to
place them in distinct receptacles for col
lection by the street cleaning carts, and
the street cleaning authorities are required
to gather them and dispose of them sepa-
rately. They are forbidden to dump the
garbage where it will prove danger to the
public health. But President Smith argues,
on the authority of that remarkable body
known as the Health Board, that the
dumping of garbage in Little He'll
Gate will not be unhealthy. In
fact, he insists that We can make pest hole
of the passage, spreading malaria and dis
ease, without offending the nostrils of the
people or risking the public health. This
will scarcely be credited, even on the au-
thority of the Health Board, by those cit
liens who have inhaled the perfume Of the
Harlem fats and who know that only good
fortune and favorable weather prevented q
pestilence from being carried through the
city on the fetid vapors of the flats two
years ago.
The Little He'll Gate passage should be
filed. There is no doubt that the closing
of the passage would benefit the Harlem
River. The ashes and dirt Of the city could
be used for that purpose at great saving OF
expense to the city. But the garbage should
be collected separately, as the law requires,
and disposed of either by being carried out
to sea or in some other manner not hazard
Gus to the public health. Even to relieve
the Police Commission from embarrassment
we must not create another and OIL aggra-
waited Harlem flats nuisance in the city.

but sudden new convert, like Mr..
David Dudley Field. The democratic party
of the State cannot fairly be held response
BILE for man whose course is disapproved
and repudiated by all the representative
democrats of the State.
The filibusters have an advantage in
the use they are able to make of the
parliamentary rules established for the
protection of minorities. Those rules
are wisc and proper, but like oil good
things they are subject to great abuse. The
most important OF them, the one which is
the most potent engine of delay, is in the
constitution itself. We. of course, refer to
the rule which requires tho yeas and nays
to be taken on any question on the demand
of one-ffth of tho members present. AS it
takes fully two-thirds ofan hour to go through
the roll call and record the yeas and nays,
process which may be repeated on every
question that arises, it is easy to see how
powerless the Speaker is, and tho majority
of the House is, to squelch all dilatory pro-
ceedings. But there is . limit to the
potency even Of this engine of obstructive
ness and with two full days still re-
manning it is a clear impossibility for
tho filibusters to prevent the completion of
the count and the Inauguration of President
Hayes. we therefore advise everybody to
keep his temper, to be rs good natured as
he can, and be thankful that nothing worse
than little delay and vexation result from
the most exciting Presidential contest that
has ever taken place in our history. Even if
all the appropriation bills should not DO
passed an extra session is no great evil,
especially rs the members receive IN an
nual salary and get no additional pay, but
only mileage, in the event of called ses-
sion. Instead of losing our temper over
the abortive attempts Of the filibusters we
should rather congratulate ourselves that
they are able to do so little mischief Let
US extract all the consolation we can from
the maxim that "Alls we'll that ends we'll"

runs from Vaara: on the Black Sea, to

The Roumanan, Turkish and Aus
tran railways have uniform gauge
Of 4 feet 81 inches, except from Jassy
eastward to the Russian frontier.
ne gauge or the RUSSIAN railways,
and of the line from the Pruth to the
Jassy, is five feet. The purpose of the
Russian Government in making this
break of gauge was to prevent other
nations seeking to enter Russia from
that direction from gaining the full
benefit Of her railway power. At pres
ept Russia is placed at disadvantage
by it. Should Austria conclude to
oppose Russia it can immediately
avail itself of the Roumanian railway
system, which has direct and perfect
connection with its own. If Turkey
bridges the Danube at Rustchuk it
may transfer railway material across to
be used on the Roumanian lines.
Russia can use its equipment no farth-
er than Jessy, where transfer must
be made to the narrower gauge.

A SECRET WHICH THE FIRE
GAVE UP.-There is proverb or
saying, to the effect that in times of
danger men tell the truth, and there
might be another, that in accidents
secrets come to light. This truth re-
ceives fresh truth in secret which
che great St. Louis fire has disclosed.
Newspaper readers will remember
that two or three years ago daughter
of the late Henry L. Blow, of that
city, was married to a Russian Count
of some unpronounceable name, whose
possessions were represented to be
somewhat fabulous. After round of
gayeties in this country, the pair de-
parted for Europe, as was supposed, to
reside upon the husbands estates in
Russia. In the meantime, her father
had died aud and her brothers were
boarding at the ill-fated Southern.
Among the debris gathered from the
ruins of the fire, on Friday, was a
letter from their sister, dated at St.
Petersburg several months ago, in
which it was stated that the husbands s
pretentions of great wealth were false.
1t was even doubted whether he was
nobly connected. 1t was feared that
he was an arrant imposter. The writ
er represented herself as being in ab-
solute need of money for the purchase
of necessities. This is not the FIRST
instance in which it has turned out
that American girls have been de-
ceived by a pretended title and
snowy exterior into marrying scamps
who come to this country with the sole
purpose of marrying rich wives.

Don't Kill the Birds.

The last legislature enacted a law
against killing birds, which it will be
we'll for bad boys to read. It is an
excellent and wholesome law, and
should be enforce! to the letter. The
following is the law:
Section l. Chapter l78 of the gen.
eral laws of 1869 is hereby amended
so as to read as follows: 1t shall not
be lawful for any person to kill by any
device whatsoever, any brown thrushes
blue birds, martins, swallows, wrcns,
cat birds, robins, pewee, meadow lark,
sparrow or any other insect-eatiug bird
of any kind in this State; nor shall it
be lawful for any person to disturb or
destroy the nests or eggs of any Of the
birds mentioned in this section.
Section 2. And any person who
shall violate in any manner the pro-
visions of section one (l) of this act,
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, aud on conviction thereof shall
be punished by fine of not less than
one dollar, nor more than five dollars
for the first offense, aud not less than
five nor more than fifteen dollars for
each subsequent ofense. Justices of
the peace shall have concu rrent juris-
diction of the offenses mentioned in
this act; provided, that any person
convicted in the justices court, OF any
offense of the provisions of this act.
may appeal thercfrom as provided by
law in criminal cases.
Section 8. This act shall take
effect and be in force from and after
its passage and publication.
Approved March I, 1877.
It will be seen that this law is
sweeping in its terms and the killing
of any insect-devouring bird: or the
breaking up of the nest of any such
bird, is misdemeanor under the law.
The attention Of agriculturalsts is
called to this law, and they should see
that lis provisions are rigidly enforced.
Aside from utility of these little birds,
their beauty and cheerful songs,
should protect them from wanton de-
struction. LIE. the law be enforced by
the punishment Of every violation of
It's provisions. Madison Democrat.

The influences of the war will be
beneficial to this country. Breadstuffs
will increase in price, and large guam
titles must be shipped. This will fur
nish work for our railroads. Arms
and munitions of war must be largely
purchased here, aud in many ways this
country will be benefited Thus our
industries will be revived, and the
country prosperous. The war will prob
ably be OF extensive scope, and evi-
IDENTITY will include strong effort to
capture ConstantlnopIe. II this sue
ceeds, Turkey in Europe will be blot
ted out, aud the map Of Europe must
be readjusted. With all this il is not
surprising that the entire world should
watch the strife with deep interest.
Unless other nations intervene the
Turkish Empire will struggle in a
death grip. 1t is not, however. to be
supposed that Sic is not prepared for
a strong effort, nor will she break in
pieces under the first shock The war
will probably be prolonged and the
struggle fierce. The full tide Of war
will probably develop rapidly, and its
first shocks be soon experienced.

OUTRAGEs NORTH AND SOUTH
The Newark (N.J.) Adgestiser, strong
republican journal, remarks that "out-
RACES occasionally occur at the North
which, if done at the South, would
taint it throughout as savagely disor-
ganized." Reference is made to lynch
law of the most revolving kind which
was lately applied at Waterford, Pa,
to a woman. She was taken from her
bed at night, tarred and feathered, and
ridden upon rail for mile and a.
half. The Advertiser remarks that,
though a bad woman doubtless, COM
munity which can permit such doings
in its midst should be relegated to
heathendom, and that Pennsylvania
has too many blots upon her name
already to permit of many more, and
especially in the shape Of such out
RACES on decency as this. The law
and order population of Pennsylvania
are not responsible for these crimes,
but they should reflect that neither are
the mass of the Southern people re-
sponsible for the work Of bad elements
in their midst.
