Is It Charity?

The report of committee of the Grand
Jury on the Charity Hospital ON Blackwell's
Island is anything but pleasant reading to
people who are mulcted by the tax gatherer
of moneys for the support of public chart
ties. insufficient ventilation and the air
poisoned by filthy water closets, baths
unfit for use and insufficient culinary ar.
rangements combine to make this nominal
sanitarium more dangerous place than the
cellars and attics from which many of the
patients come. It is sometimes said of the
sick poor that if they were dead they would
be better off. Judged by this saying the
Charity Hospital is doing its best. But if,
as appears from official documents, the
hospital is intended to exemplify the
old fashioned idea that the suffering
poor need and deserve assistance from So
ciety at large, the Charity Hospital needs
either q thorough overhauling or an effec-
tive confagration. The Female Lunatic
Asylum is another institution which the
committee found in condition dangerous
to it's inmates and disgraceful to the officials
who are charged with its management. One
resident physician, with fourteen hundred
patients, can give to each unfortunate his
attention for about half minute per day.
The value Of such service can readily be
estimated by any one who has had expert
ence with lunatics. To dignity such neg
lect and abuse by the holy name of charity
is one Of those bits Of sarcasm which are too
horrible to provoke smile and too full of
meaning to admit of any excuse from the
officials to whom the people have confded
this sacred trust.

Brooklyn bank has recently been
robbed by two of it's officers. One has re-
stored the amount of one hundred and sixty
thousand dollars, which the president is
satisfied is all that he stole, while the other
is alleged to have limited his plumber to the
modest sum of ten thousand dollars. The
latter is said to have compromised with the
bank by paying back portion of the miss
ing money and giving a deed of his house to
cover the remainder. This is very COM
Portable arrangement for all parties, but
especially for the two thieves. Those
precious rascals escape tho fate Of other
felons, and are at liberty to enjoy at their
ease at least portion Of their plumber; for
the tale that the restored amounts are all
that have been stolen from the bank is one
to be told to the marines.
The people of the United States are grow
ing altogether too familiar with this story.
1t is told in the papers almost every week.
Dishonest tellers, cashiers, bookkeepers and
other bank employees promise soon to be the
is clear. Not one of the robbers fears pun
ishment. A thievish bank clerk has only to
steal sum sufficiently large to induce the
officers of the institution to compromise on
the return of half the amount and he is safe
from State prison. Bank presidents and
directors are in tremor on the discovery of
robbery lest the credit of the concern
should be injured, and probably in many
instances lest their own careless misman-
agement should be exposed. The dishonest
employees therefore find no difficulty in
settling" and their success encourages 9TH
ers to commit similar crimes. If every bank
robber could be made certain of the State
prison the offence would be less common
than it is.
There is o statute Of the State which says,
every person having the knowledge OF the
actual commission of any offence punish
able by imprisonment in State prison for
any other term than for life, who shall take
any money or property of another, or any
gratuity or reward, or any engagement or
promise therefor, upon any agreement or
understanding, express or implied, to COM
pound or conceal any such crime, or to alb
stalu ircIu any prosecutor CnereIOr, or 70
withhold any evidence thereof, shall, upon
conviction, be punished by imprisonment in
n State prison not exceeding three years, or
in county Jail not exceeding six months. :"
Probably the enforcement Of this law in
some case in which bank felony is COM
pounded would tend to put q stop to o
crime which is gradually undermining the
popular confidence in all banking institu-
tons.

Rapid Transit's Tria Is.

The Legislature is still engaged in mysti-
flying the question Of rapid transit for the
city of New York. It is difficult to con-
ceive what legitimate object can be subserved
by the continued meeting of committees and
hearing Of witnesses on the point as to
whether rapid transit is or is not necessity
for the metropolis. That matter has been
settled long ago. The Legislature OF 1876,
after q strenuous opposition by the inter-
ests opposed to this great public i'm
provement, passed q law which was
believed to be honestly designed to ac-
complish the much desired object. Since
then every device that cunning can invent,
or the corrupt expenditure of money can Sc
cure, has been resorted to for the purpose Of
obstructing the operation Of that law. The
courts have been appealed to and injunc-
tions have been obtained against the prose-
cutors of the work on the most trivial pre-
fences. The Common Council has been
''ixed" for the purpose Of throwing such
difficulties in the way of the construction Of
IN elevated road as the limited power of the
Aldermen will permit. The Legislature was
assailed as soon as it assembled, and not
without effect if we ore to judge from the
numerous insidious attempts that have been
made this session to damage the prospects of
rapid transit under the false mask OF friend
ship for the enterprise.
The people of New York have much pa
tience. They are distinguished for submit
ting to outrages for a long time without ris-
ing against them. But when they are fairly
incensed they are likely to treat the public
enemies with some severity. The sudden
and complete overthrow Of the old Tam
many Ring is proof of this popularity Of
our population. twill be an act of wisdom
on the part Of the horse railroad corpora
tlons, the property owners" in their inter-
est, and the Aldermen and representatives
in their service. if they cease their undue
opposition to this great public work before
the people are thus aroused. The law of 1875
will be eventually carried out. Of that
there is no doubt. A bin before the Legis-
lature provides that the work shall be re-
lieved from the embarrassment caused by
perpetual stoppages through temporary and
JruHpery luJ uiCcioAo' Ills Auw uoeS III
Justice to no one, since it leaves all legal
questions to be decided on their merits, and
holds the constructors Of the road account
able finally for any damages they may have
illegally occasioncd. But it prevents fac
tious delays of the work; and this is just
what the people demand. This bill should
be passed, and the people will mark all
those Senators and Assomblymcn who op-
pose it. The Legislators must now choose
between the money of interested corpora
tions and the continued support of their
constituents.

The Foster-aratthevvs Correspondence.

We do not sec that anybody is hurt by
the publication Of those letters President
Hayes is not damaged, for he neither
authorized the correspondence nor had
any knowledge Of it. Messrs. Foster and
Matthews have no cause for regret, for the
opinions they expressed as to the purposes
of Mr.. Hayes were amply justified by the
language of his inaugural address. The
Southern members of Congress to whom
their assurances were made cannot suffer
either in the estimation of their own party
or tho country, for it is evident that they
had no desire to bind Mr.. Hayes or his
friends by bargain, but merely sought au-
thentic information from persons whom
they supposed competent to give it. Messrs.
Foster and Matthews on one side and
Messrs Brown and Gordon on the other
appear with unstained honor in the whole
transaction; and as for President Hayes,
the communications do not touch him, for
he had no knowledge of them at the time
they took place.

Governor Hampton's Wayside
SueecheS.

We see no reason for the hullabaloo made
in Washington and elsewhere about the
speeches made by Governor Hampton to the
admiring crowds that greeted him at the rail-
way stations on his journey to Washington
The nincompoops raise cry that he has put
the settlement of the Southern question in
jeopardy. We have nothing to say as to the
prudence or good taste of General Hamp-
toms speeches. But we deem it pertinent
to say this, that the South Carolina
difficulty is not a question of the good
taste OF strict decorum Of Governor Hamp-
toms speeches. but question as to whether
he was legally elected to the Office he fills.
The only question for President Hayes to
consider is whether General Hampton had
q majority of the legal votes in the South
Carolina election. If he had, he might out
vie Wendell Phillips in intemperance of
speech and extravagant rhetoric without in
validating or in any way affecting his title.
The President is in no way called to pass
Judgment on the decorum of General Hamp-
tons official manners or the taste Of his
speeches to crowd, but only on the ques-
ZION Wuetlcr ne was electeO. III NC WAS Ae-
gally chosen Governor neither the President
nor even the impeaching power in his own
State can remove him for mere intemperance
of language. The head and front of his
offending at Wilmington was only strong
assertion of his own title and of purpose
not to compromise it. 1t would have been
q weakness for him to have held any other
view, although the good taste of expressing
it SO strongly may admit OF question. What
we insist on is that his speeches on the way to
Washington have no bearing whatever on the
legality OF his election in November, and that
it is an insult to the intelligence and sound
Judgment of President Hayes to suggest that
Hampton injured his chances Of recognition
by his frank speech at Wilmington. If his
claims suffer in consequence Of that speech
it can be only because the President is glad
of protext for backing out of the policy of
his inaugural address. We have too much
respect for Mr.. Hayes sincerity to believe
anything Of the kind.

Itputs an efficient check on the power of the
municipal governments to create debts. 1t
enforces the responsibility of all mayors OF
cities by giving them the sole power to ap-
point and remove their subordinates. More
important than all, it seeks to create o
Board of Finance to be elected by the tax
payers, which will prevent people who pay
no taxes from voting away other peoples
money. This plan courts discussion in the
Legislature and is entitled to it. If it is
wrong let it's errors be exposed. If it has
even q color of reason let it be handed on to
the next Legislature for more mature con-
sideration. To treat it with nero con-
temptuous neglect and give it the go-by
without deigning to consider it, would be
quite indefensible.

Important Litigation.

Three interesting and highly important
cases were before tho courts yesterday In
one, an action for assault was brought by o
sailor against the captain of vessel for
hanging him up by the arms because he was
unwilling to work, and tho captain was fined
fifty dollars. In another, sailor sued tho
mate and steward of brig for beating him
because he made free with pie which
he found in the forecastle, and the plaintiff
recovered forty dollars damages. In third,
quarrel occurred between u landlord and
his ledger about q broom, in which the son
of the former took an active part, and was
called on TO pay fifty dollars for his pains.
In these cases half q dozen or more law
yers were engaged; days time was con-
sumod in their trial. the Judge, deputy
sheriffs, seventeen witnesses, clerks, court
officers and stenographers were all occupied
on them; Shcriff's fees, court fees, witnesses
fees and lawyers fees, besides the awarded
damages, had to be paid. It would DO an
interesting calculation to ascertain just what
they cost the city and what they cost the
litigants. The information would probably
deter some sensible people from seeking the
expensive uncertainties of the law on such
trivial causes of quarrel. Not long ago q
suit involving less that fifty dollars occu-
pied one of our courts nearly three dhys.
It is to be regretted that such litigants can
not be made to fight out their disputes
without expense and trouble to the people
and the courts.

Promising Peace md Preparing for
War.

BY the latest aspect of the news from
Europe it appears that England and Russia
have exchanged promises, and each appar-
emily with conviction that the other is
insincere and does not mean to keep its
promise. England agrees to sign protocol
of the relations Of the European Powers to
Turkey on condition that Russia promises
to demobilize and dismantlc the enormous
army that she has been so many months
in getting ready for active service but If
Russia should fail to demobilize then Eng
lands action on the protocol is to be re-
garded as void. This is the news There
may be some foundation for the report that
England has on some conditions agreed to
sign the protocol That report is credible,
because it would be blunder for England
not to sign it, and the British Cabinet has
Numbered SO persistently in these negotia-
tons that it is fair to suppose they may
some time OF another exhaust their capacity
to blunder. Russia could not desire that
the nations would do otherwise than leave
the case of her differences with her neigh
Dor to her and that neighbor; but England
insists that it is case for Europe ct large.
That declaration is formalized by the pro-
tocol; and the refusal to sign the protocol
would be to declare that England regards
the Eastern question as general in its rela-
tions whenever it is agreeable to her that it
shall be so regarded and local in it's nature
when it is Of no advantage to her that it
shall be general. 1t is possible, therefore,
that England may make some guarded
assent to the position assumed by Russia in
the construction of q protocol of the rela-
tions of Europe to this issue; but it is
certainly not true that the condi-
ton OF that assent is o pledge on
the part of Russia to demobilize her south
crn army. At that point the story is erro-
neous. We do not believe that Russia has
promised to demobilize her army; but if she
has promised, then we do not wonder that
the British negotiators have provided for
the possible failure Of the promise, for if
made it cannot be kept. It would be insan-
ity for Russia to demobilize the great army
she now has ready without as good guar
nntee for the future as that army would give
by midsummer; and from whom is such q
guarantee to come? England would not give
it if she could and it is not in her power
to give it if she would; for the Conference
showed how little the Turks care for any
thing that comes from England, except the
troops and money with which John Bull
from time to time sustains the Turkish ssin-
tegrity." Russia has her guarantees in
Bessarabia, and at the right moment she
will movo them to the Danube. She is ready,
and no one else is, and it is not credible that
arms for few fair promises made in Lon
don. Austrias preparations indicate the
tendency of events in Europe more accu-
rately than the report Of England's prom
ises
