without waiting for Captain De dorsey to pre-
fer formal charges against his pilot.
POIfCE DISCIPLINE.

We do not know any municipal matter in
which the general public il more directly III
terested than in the good behavior, vigilance,
and honesty of the police. In the nature OF
things they have q good deal of power, how
ever brief, and when they see fit to act, no
matter how tyrannOusly, for the time being
there is no appeal from their decision. II they
please to consider person proper object OF
arrest, arrested he must be, and in most eases,
guilty or innocent, he is sure to be locked up.
Or course a large body of men like the police
must contain some characters either Inefficient
or efficient in an indelensibe way. Recently
the attention Of the community has been par
ticuIarly directed to the dOings of this class and
there is some danger that the whole force may
be censured for the misdeeds OF some OF its
members. There seems to be, however, dis
position on the part of the board to investl-
gate fully all charges made by the Superin-
tendent or by others. Capt. Kennedy OF the
Ninth Precinct has been called to account for
neglect of duty in overlooking very indecent
and demoralizing exhibition in Twelfth-st.,
and Capt. Murphy of the Twenty-frst Precinct
is in precisely the same difficulty. In these
cases Mr.. Comstock and his Society for the
man Devlin of the Tenth Precinct is in more
serious trouble, being charged with very cruelty
assaultng q prisoner in his cell without the
least necessity. In consequence of his violence
the aforesaid prisoner, it is thought, will lose
the sight of one eye.
We mention these cases in order that the
public as well as the police may be reminded
that there is law for the poor creature whose
crimes or vices have brought him to prison,
and for the policeman who abuses his helpless
situation. We do not suppose that the avoca-
ton of Il peace officer is calculated to develop
the finer feelings and qualities of human ma
tire but when he shows himself to be incapable
OF commanding his temper, and lapses into acts
of brutality not to be extenuated, it is cncoIr-
aging to know that there is power above
him which can take away his club and badge
and send him to criminal court to be tired
for his needless assaults and batteries.
1t is pleasant when we are obliged to blame
to he able also to praise. The gallant conduct
of Officer Nugent ut the fire in Cherry yeSter
day deserves honorable mention. He had
already, under circumstances OF great peril,
rescued an old man from the burning house
to which he returned, though the danger was
mOmcntarly growing greater, for the purpose
of saving a woman. He succeeded in bringing
her to the street, though she will not probably
survive her injuries. How much nObcr was
this than knocking down man because he
asked why his wife was arrested, or beating a
deienselcss prisoner The honest public ought
to feel confidence in the police and not dstrust
of it, and such feeling it is needless to say is
increased by every act Of chiyalrous devotion

COkTJII1TiON,

Once more the country is indebted to patrl-
otto and independent Southern men for a step
forward The nomination of Frederick Doug
lass was not OF great importance i'll itself.
But it was an essential step in the general
plan of pacifcation, and its best fruits are
realized only because influential Democratic
Senators were found to appreciate, sustain and
heartily approve it, President Hayes is an
engineer who stands On a splendidiy equipped
engine with plenty of steam ready, and with
his hand on ths tarting-bar. But he is good
engineer, and Knows that, if he pulls the valve
wide open at first, lie viii break n coupling
but will never move the long and heavy tain
behind. Years of hatred and prejudice. OF ill
treatment and corruption, OF knayeIy and
massacre. are behind us, and all the antagon-
isms thus created, with the organized hOstili-
ties of party, must be pulled cut OF
the way before a genuine pacifcatIOn can
be secured. Mr.. Hayes has to remember that
the colorcd people, who sorely need protection
in all their rights, must not be forgotten nor
led to distrust the needful measures of concilia-
ton. A true peace can come only by recon-
citation of both the warning elements at

Ii is related by elderly citizens of Rochester That
on a certain occasion the Rev. DR. Baclus, Of blessed
memory. had been laying out aud decorating the
grounds about his house NJ a considerable outlay of
Labor and expense. On the very first night after the
completion of the work, when the grounds had been
tastcfully graded and tcrraced and sodded and
planted herd of yagrant swine broke into the in
closure and ndustrionsly rooted the fair territory
into wilderness of unsighty gullics and hum
nocks. The next moraing. as the good Doctor
stepped out upon his porch, ole sweeping glance

suiced TO furnish full and appreciative conception
of the desolation. Restraining any expression OF
unregenerate wrath he stood for space in silence,
and then remarked, with mOurnful philosophy,
"Wcll, you never can lay dirt to suit hog" Inc
Doctor was right. and he need not have restricted
his generalization. This spirit OF porcine dssats-
faction with the labors of other people amounts 10
organic disease in many political critics. III
President Hayes cOntemplates the withdrawal OF
troops from State Capitols. he is shamefuly aban-
doning the negro. II he appoints NJ Douglass to
an Office which he can I'LL with credit, the same
malcOntents find this conspicuous recognition of the
negro a nice soft spot to root in. Nobody can lay
dirt to suit them.
1t is clearly unjust to Nlr. H. j. Furber to PREJUDICE
his case in the matter of the $3.50 900 profits alleged
to have been paid him on account Of the contract
between himself and the Universal Life Insurance
Company Mr. Furber distinctly declares that lie
never received O dollar of profit from the con-
tract that 1t was made for the benefit OF
tho Guardian Mutual Life, and that every
dollar received under it from the one COM
pany was duly paid over TO the other,
the books of the two companies will show. lie
makes also a good prima Jdcio defense as to the
charge of wrcckng the North America, producing
circulars freely distributed to Its pocyh0lders de-
claring insurance in it the Universal,
and placing the question Of change solely on the
ground Of money TO be made by it.
Simon Cameron emerges from his new-found re-
irement long enough to say that he is no such per-
son, and made no such promises of marriage as are
now laid to his charge. The sympathes of the ma
ton are with the venerable defendant. He has
given up public life that another Cameron might
enter it, and has gone back to the prosac business OF
vegetable farming merely to be able to do little hot
house forcing of a son. If the Washington widows of
litgious kind will not leave him in peace, the son
will have a noble opportunity to make return for
the fathers magnanimity. If the worst comes to
the worst, he might volunteer to marry the widow.
If the Senators from the Northern States were at
tentve listeners to the wise words spoken in the de-
bate on Mr. Douglasss confirmation by certain Dem
ocratic Senators from the South, they probably
learned something. The attack of common sense
from which Southern Democrats seemed to be suffer-
ing toward the close of the late session of Congress
has proved to be something more serious than a
mere acute functional arrangement. 1t has appa'
rently become chronic, organic, and incurabie.

The vote the Democrats of the Ohio Legis-
lature will give for Senator well indicates Their
present dearth Of opinions, leaders, and pur-
poses. All the efforts Of Mr. Pendleton's
friends failed to procure him the nomination,
and the Democratic votes will bc cast blank.
As for Uncle William Allen, he seems to have
been set down so hard with his paltry four
votes that it is doubtful if he will ever be seen
to rise up again.

ray of hope in the rapid transit problem
that may die out as it has died out before, comes
to-day from the Mayors office. The Commits
sioner of Public Works, at his request, has
consulted Mr.. VIM. II. Vanderbilt about the
feasibility of reviving the plan, which his
father once favored so strongly, of an under
ground railroad from the Grand Central
DEPOT to the City Hall, and the conferences
are still in progress. Meantime the old story
of adverse litigation has been begun on the
East Side. an injunction having been obtained
AGAINST the building of the Elevated Railroad
ON fine Bowery side of the city. This means
another long and wcarsome contest III the
courts, with rapid transit cutting IA very small
figure in a long perspective.

Many circumstances indicate that the Legs
Iature will make trouble in the endeayor to
get at the facts about life insurance manage

e.,,araI of the companies should greatly prefer
not TO have all the facts Of their manage
ment spread before the whole community.

merchants would object to having every
transaction in their ledgers exposed to
public view. But in the present state OF pop

A California Woman Eats Thirty
Quails in Thirty Days.

1t has been many times vigorously
alleged, says the San Francisco Chron-
'cte. that no person could perform the
seemingly simple gastronomic feat of
eating thirty quails in thirty consecu-
tive days. What there is about a quail
that makes the average human stomach
decline its frequent V~isitations no n
but an analytical chemist with a lean
ing towards anatomy q decide. The
quail has been esteemed a great delica-
cy since the children of Israel passed
through the desert and had their daily
feast of the fowl-not singly, but in
showers-and the sacred chron-
icler fails to record that
they were received with repug
nance, and they were in the wilderness
a month and ten day S. A banquet
without quails somewhere in the list of
dishes has been esteemed almost a fail
ure. Then why its indigestibility?
Wherefore It's biliousness? This feat,
hitherto deemed impossible, has been
recently performed by a lady resident
of Oakland, who, in p spirit Of
banter and on a wager of $500 offered
by a humorous son-in-law, and 800
guaranteed by a facetious son, under
took the task, not thinking it at all diff
ficult. She decided to take the birds
broiled, and for breakfast. All went
on well for some days, and it was not
until the end of two weeks that the
matutinal quail began to be repugnant,
breakfast revolving, and life a burden.
A plucky, u%nyielding will came to the
lady's aid, and she '~persevered, and
through a series of daily recurring
qualms, with frequent fits of dizziness,
a little tendency to ~obscurity Of vision,
she finished the last bird, anaid the ap-
proval of a slightly alarmed household.
But she says she does not care to renew
the attempt!-oh, no!-even for the
sake of emulating the Israelites,, who
lived on them 40 days and madssnb
sign. She is now in perfect health, and
her bank account is increased by the
money so hardly earned. e
