The GENERAL MANAGER of the Great West
ern Railway of Canada has set an example
to railroad officials which cannot be too gener-
ally followed. Some question has been raised
as to the safety of the railway suspension
bridge at Clifton. The engineers insist that
the bridge is perfectly sound and reliable,
but the Manager decides to stop the passage
OF trains over the bridge, diverting them by
way of the 'loop line" to Buffalo, until he
can make certain by a thorough examina-
ton and by scientific tests Of the entire
safety of the structure. This may prove
temporary inconvenience to travellers, but
it is preferable to the risk of sacrificing their
lives by another Ashtabula calamity The
General Manager of the Great Western Rail
way does not wait for q disaster, but takes
precautionary measures to prevent one.
The superstructure of the Clifton bridge has
already been inspected and found to be in a
satisfactory state of preservation; but travel
will not be resumed over it until the por-
tions of the cables imbedded in masonry as
we'll as the foundations have been subjected
to rigid scrutiny. People need not be afraid
to travel over q railroad that is under such
careful management.

A Fire-Eater's Opinion.

Mr.. Robert Toombs, the ex-Secretary of
State of the Southern Confederacy, is more
famous for the frankness than for the wis
dom of his utterances. 1t is singular, in
deed to find such q man declaring that
had he been member of the United States
Senate he would have risen in his place and
moved the confirmation of President Hayes
Cabinet without q reference to committees.
1t is equally remarkable that politician of
his experience should see no results in the
adoption of just generous and constitu-
tional Southern policy by the new President
beyond ''good time for the boys" who OBJ
tain the Offices and the disruption Of the
radical party. The South is not as demo-
cratic as Mr.. Toombs supposes. Many
thousands of the white voters Of the Southern
States, who have been driven into the demo-
cratic ranks through the force OF circum-
stances and because, under the old Southern
policy they had nowhere else to go, would

VJnsa Buildings.

The falling of warehouse on Washington
street, and the sacrifice of life in the panic
at st. Francis Xaviers Church, have revived
public interest in the laws designed to pro-
vide against the danger of unsafe buildings
and in the action Of the Building Depart
ment. The existing laws are ample for the
public protection provided they are eff
ciently enforced. Their enforcement is the
immediate duty of the Building Depart
ment; but, for the security of property
holders, the power of the department is
limited and cannot be fully exercised with
out the cooperation of the courts. Re-
Gently the Superintendent of Buildings has
done some efficient work in securing the
improvement of the means of egress from
theatres and other places of public resort
But his duties cannot be said to have been
fully discharged until every church edifce,
theatre and hall in the city shall have been
put into such condition as to render q
fatal crush during sudden outflow Of the
congregation oraudience almost impossible,
nor until every unsafe building shall have
been pulled down or rendered entirely Sc
cure. 1t is idle to pretend that the owners
refuse to comply with the law, since there
are ample means to compel them to do SO.
But the Building Department must be
backed up by the courts if it's important
work is to be efficiently done. The officers
of the department have displayed COM
mendable activity of late, but the courts
have in some instances evinced disposition
to stay their hands. Experts know when
building is unsafe or when means of egress
are insufficient, and it should be very ex-
treme and fragrant case of misjudgment to
induce court to set aside their decision
and to interrupt the enforcement of the law.
The final steps to compel obedience to the
orders of the department, or to punish their
disregard, rest with the courts, and it is
only fair that the responsibility for the delay
in the enforcement of the official notices of
the department should be placed where it
rightfully belongs.

Canadian Extra dition.

An Extradition act has been introduced
into the Parliament of the Dominion that
is intended to be effective in pursuance of
extradition arrangements made with foreign
States and that is worthy the attention of
all persons interested in this subject. 1t
is printed elsewhere. This act provides ex-
tradition in regard to twenty-seven crimes,
and reaches those whose crimes were COM
mitted before its passage as well as others.
1t makes perjury or subornation of perjury
extraditable, as we'll as ''fraud by a bailee,
banker, agent, factor, trustee, or by di-
rector" of any joint stock company. This,
it will be seen, would be very effective
against criminals from our side the line, as
it would reach that large number of fugi-
tives from justice who are guilty of breaches
of trust either in public or private station,
and either defraud heirs or plunder treas
uries. This is an excellent law, and we
hope it will pass; and we trust that as be-
tween our own and Her Majesty's govern
ment On arrangement may be made on this
liberal basis,

The Eastern Questton.

Russia at least sticks to her text. Quietly,
yet persistently, she urges the pursuit of the
measures initiated by the appointment of the
Conference which sat at Constantinople
Satisfied that the measures recommended by
that body are the only possible remedies OF
peaceful nature for the grievances of the
Christian subjects Of the Sultan she con-
tinues to advocate the constant presentation
of these measures to the Sultan as constitut-
ing programme of government that he must
adopt or forfeit friendly relations with all
the Powers. Russia would no doubt be
satisfied if she could engage the other Powers
in sort of diplomatic campaign, the OBJ
jective point of which would be to force upon
the government at Constantinople the adop-
ton of the measures rejected by Midhat Pacha.
And no doubt the chances Of success in such
an endeavor have been greatly modified by
the changes that have taken place at Con-
stantinople since the terms Of the Confer
ence were actually rejected. But Russia
does not leave herself without resources
and though she now urges actively the diplo-
matte part of her case she does not discon-
tinue those formidable preparations for war
which may presently become the more i'm
portant feature. She will secure peaceful
remedy if it is possible; but if the difficult
ties increase and good season for military
operations comes with the case unsettled
there will be war. But we do not believe in
the reports of any understanding between
Russia and Germany inimical to France.
All that is politics from the Bourse.

A Bad Exa IN pie.

1t is evident from the manner in which
the trial of Sergeant Thompson ended that
there are privileges for policemen which are
denied to ordinary citizens. The laws
delay first came to his assistance, and,
although he committed his assault upon
Cannon before Coburn attacked the police
men, the first case was tried last and Coburn
was railroaded to prison while the Sergeant
remained free. His offence should have been
punished promptly and an example made of
him for the good of the police, but he was
given ample time to make defence which
resulted in disagreement of the jury.
This was wrong, for the assault had
been clearly proved by witnesses, and the
sole defence the prisoner could make was
his previous good character. To prove that
host of witnesses appeared, principally in
spectors, captains and members of the
police who testified to his quiet and orderly
manners and intelligence. But this repu-
tation for good behavior, instead of being a
reason for his acquittal, really constituted
an argument for his conviction. The jury,
unduly influenced by this parade of virtues,
forgot that the assault had been only
made more fragrant by the sobriety
and intelligence of the Sergeant.
If these model policemen, who are
so mild and meek, can beat with impunity
helpless citizens in the manner Sergeant
Thompson beat Cannon, what are we to ex-
pect from the policemen who are ignorant,
brutal and reckless? All that has been said
of Thompson's good character only aggra-
Yates his offence. He is to have new trial,
we believe, and after that the Police Com
missioners may take the trouble to see If he
has been guilty of n breach of discipline.
In the meanwhile the example has had a
bad effect upon the police force, as is clearly
shown by the number of assaults which
have been recently made upon citizens who
were innocent of any offence.

MIR. ISerRh,A Plan.

It is much better that Mr. Henry Bergh
should employ his time in celebrating prac-
tical plans for the relief of the poor animals
of which he is protector than in writing
foolish letters to the newspapers, and we
are therefore glad to notice that he has
come to the assistance of the Board of
Aldermen in their efforts to decide the dog
question. The taxation and licensing Of
dogs has profoundly occupied the attention
of that eminent body of late, and it's men,
bers have not been able to agree upon
any plan for the management of the
canine population of the city. Mr.. Bergh
personally appeared at the last meeting of
the Board and proposed that the city should
erect inexpensive buildings in the sub
urbs, where unclaimed or vagrant dogs
shall be taken and treated as they
NAV deserve. He advocated the system
of arresting these quadruped tramps by
SCOOP nets, and condemned the cruel
methods of the dog catchers last summer.
He proffered the services of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and
made strong and sensible argument In
this action Mr.. Bergh appears to the best
advantage. and we are glad to learn that at
the next meeting of the Board the ordinance
he intends to offer will be carefully con-

body of white supporters in the South, and
as soon as the whites are separated into two
strong political parties. each bidding against
the other for the colored vote, the negroes
will enjoy more efficient protection than
they could ever receive from the federal
government. They will then be courted and
caressed by both parties as voters of foreign
birth are in the North. The most important
thing for all classes in the South is to get its
cuts across the color line at right angles,
each party consisting of whites and blacks
in about the same proportions This is
what we understand President Hayes
to be aiming at, and no policy could
be more sagacious or patriotic. new
election now would tend to deepen the
color line which he thinks it so needful
to obiiterate for. rs yet, the white voters
are nearly all on one side and the negro
voters nearly all on the other and it would
be impossible for the republicans to con-
duct canvass with any hope Of success
without playing upon the old antipathies.
This would be an unfortunate beginning for
such policy as the President is believed to
favor. Parties founded on color must give
place to parties founded on public questions.
and this can be accomplished only by loosen
ing the tie which binds the white popula-
tion together and leaving scope for the diff
ferences Of opinion which arise in oil intelli-
gent communities when not forced into
unity by an odious pressure from without
which insults their local pride and their
sense OF Independence. We are grati6ed to
learn that the President discountenances
new elections. We do not see how he could
do otherwise when it is so clear that elec-
tions now would be conducted on the color
line which it is the chief object of his policy
to abolish.

Blunt Gets Into Ten Fath0ms oi
Hot Water.

Blunt, the man who dug the harbor of
New York and invented pilots in order that
he might be their commissioner. was alone
in his Office. He gave the waistband of his
trousers an extra hoist, tipped his tarpaulin
over his left eye shifted his quid to the
north four points west, executed two steps
of the sailors hornpipe and declared. with
emphatic profanity, that they might shiver
his tarry top lights if he didn't write letter
to somebody on some one subject or
another-he didn't care who or what.
Write he must or die, and he was not yet
inclined to die. So he produced a sheet OF
clean paper fitted new pen, filled up his
inkstand and squared away. But who
should he write to and what should he write
about? At that moment his eye fell upon
newspaper paragraph referring to the COM
ing of the Russian feet, and 10 the subject
and the object of his letter were found.
His dread missive was launched ut
Mr.. Bodisco, the amiable Russian Consul,
gentleman with whom Blunt had no ac-
quaintance, and suggested where the
Russian fleet should anchor, fact in which
Blunt could have only a philanthropic in
terest. But the Russians, uncertain whether
Blunt might not be the owner of Tammany
Hall, or keeper of an electoral commission,
or an aliunde man, or returning board, or
something of that sort, politely promised
compliance They soon learned, however,
from the Captain Of the Port that they might
anchor their ships where they pleased and
that Blunt was only sort Of nautical conf
dence man who had imposed upon their
good nature Naturally there was furious

sity of explaining his good intention, has
