THE Police Commissioners believe
that the issue OF extra editions of the
newspapers and the putting up OF bulle-
tins is caculated to inflame the public
mind at time OF excitement like the
present, and is not in the interest OF
good order. They therefore ask that extra
editions be discontinued. Without dis
cussing the question with the Police
Commissioners, so far as we are con.
cerned, we shall fully comply with their
request. Our extra editions yesterday
told the story of the progress. of the
strike with an accuracy, tullness and
promptness not approached by any Of
our contemporaries. Every item of i'm
portance was given in the STAR extras
several hours ahead OF its appearance
in the Commercial, where a desperate
attempt at enterprise was manifested,
Notwithstanding the large sales insured
for extra editions at times like the pres
ent, If the Commissioners believe thai
their discontinuance will to any exten,
tend to preserve order, it is clearly the
duty OF publishers TO comply with the
request and issue only the regular edi
tions Of their papers.

Now that the eyes Of the world are
turned toward Russia and Turkey, some
facts contained In paper read before
the Statistical Society OF London by
MIR. Ravenstein are OF unusual interest.
The subject OF the paper was the popu-
lations OF Russia and Turkey. Russia
has a population OF 81, 4,584, ,4S3, while Tur-
key has only 25, ,2s6, 1858. The increase OF
the former is Ii per cent. per annum,
the Jews being the most prolific Of the
inhabitants; but in Turkey the author
believes that the Turks proper do not
increase at all, owing to the vicious
habits OF the women and the losses en-
tailed in defending the empire. In Rus.
sia there are 100 Russians to every so OIL
other nationalities, and 100 Christians
to every 16 Mohammedans aud Pagans,
while in Turkey there are only 100 Turks
to every 1877 OF other inhabitants.

THE TOLEDO TROUBLES.
Some Talk Caused by the Failure Of Ale1Gn.
der Reed, Which is Postmaster.

TOLEDO, O., October 26.-City business
circles are agog over the assignment Of
Postmaster Alexander Reed. The failure
following so close upon Reeds appoint.
ment to the custody of large Govern
ment business, has subjected his affairs to
close scrutiny. The assignment has been
forced by suits against him as manager
and principle owner of the Daily Blade
and Commercial, filed within the past
two weeks. They will amount to 100000
or $4,000, divided between bank paper
and the claims ofD. R. Locke ("Nasby")
for the Toledo Blade Company. Of the
latter kind Locke has one suit for $35, 900,
which is purchase paper given at the time
of the consolidation. The postal route
Agents, over one hundred of whom are
paid at this Office, failed toget their money
yesterday, Mr.. Reed saying they must
wait few days. This is regarded strange,
since it is known that the quarterly re.
port just completed shows balance of
$4,000 on hand. A strong statement of
these facts has been forwarded to the
Postmaster General.

OLD Simon Cameron is not Simple ST.
mon" by any manner of means. He yet
holds the Pennsylvania Republicans in
the hollow of his hand, and is not dis
posed to let 60. 1t seems President
Hayes, anxious to conciliate the Penn
sylvania Republicans, concluded to give
the English mission to that State and,
in order to make the healing influence
thereof as great as possible, had SeCre-
tary of State Evarts intimate to Senator
Don Cameron that the President would
ignore his rule Of ignoring Congressman,
and permit the Pennsylvania delegation
to select the minister to England.
This change of base on the part of the
Administration created surprise, Consid-
ering the airs of arrogance and indepen-
dence that had been put on. The choice
of the delegation, it seems, fell upon ST.
mon Cameron, the man of all others
least acceptable to Hayes, Evarts, and in
fact the party generally. In short, the
Presidents friends are aghast at the re-
suit; and the news now comes that Ev-
arts denies giving the matter over to the
Pennsylvania delegation in Congress. By
this it would seem that the Administra-
ton had jumped from the frying pan into
the fire, in other words, had put their
foot in it, What the outcome will be is
hard to say.

Ex-SEoRRTARY CHANDLER addressed
some Michigan farmers one day last week
and, on the subject of civil service re-
form, said, in substance;
There were no patent, strictly defined
rules for civil service. What did men do
in the management of their own busi.
ness? If they found an incompetent man
they discharged him and put competent
man in his place; if they found dishon-
est man they discharged him and put an
honest man in his place, and when they
found they had competent man in their
employ they promoted him, whether he
was in a government office or on farm.
Take that great apostle of civil service
reform, George William Curtis, and al
though he could write good editorials,put
him in charge Of Harpers publishing
house and he would bankrupt 1t in a year.
He could not manage an important bust
ness with his impracticable ideas, but he
did not know it. This was the trouble
with all civil service admirers.
We can say of Zach's remarks that they
are sharp but vulnerable. His presenta-
ton of the methods obtaining among bu-
siness men is correct; but we are surprised
to find that even Zach Chandler has
cheek enough to seek to convey the in
ference that the Republican party has
ever carried that principle into the pub
lie service. 1t has always done business
on precisely opposite principle.

SECRETARY Evarts asserts positively
that ne never gave the Pennsylvania
delegation to understand that Mr.. Hayes
would appoint the person named by
them to the English mission. On the
other hand, Senator Don Cameron de-
clares that he told Mr.. Evarts that he
would not submit the matter to the del
egation unless the promise was given
that the President would accept their aid
and make the appointment in accord
ance with their wishes. This promise
was, he says, distinctly given. 1t would
seem Don tricked the great lawyer and
diplomat-a a true chip of the old block.

SENATOR Thurman has introduced a
bill to compel the Union Pacific and
Central Pacific Railroad companies to
lay aside very moderate sum out of
their annual earnings toward paying
their just debts to this hardup Govern
ment at maturity. Senator Thurman S
bill is not oppressive. All it requires of
Jay Gould's Union Pacific Company is to
set aside on sinking fund account three
quarters of million a year. Jay Gould
whines that the company cannot possi>
bly, lay by for the discharge of this just
debt more than half a million year.
The N. Y. Times has shown conclu-
sively that the Union Pacific Company
could put up from a million to a million
md half, and yet pay 6 per cent
dividend. The reported net earnings
last year we're S,6IS,647, this year S8.
3I7ooI. 1t is time this matter was atten.
ded to, and we hope Jay Gould's lob
bying will not avail this time.

HoRAmo SEYMOUR writes of the i'm.
pending election in New York, strongly
in favor of the Democratic State ticket.
Concerning the Hayes Administration
the Ex-Governor says:
Believing, as we do, that Mr.. Hayes
was defeated last year, it would be a
source of regret that the means by which
he was put into the Executive chair
should seem to be approved by the State.
The Democratic party has been wrong
ed, and it should, at the first opportunity,
show its sense of injustice in the way
provided by our constitution and laws
If this is not done, there will be a con-
tinuance of unlawful seizures of power.
All citizens have much to fear from such
assaults upon their rights They threat
en- the good order and safety of society.

THE nominations have now all been
made for Senators in the several dis
tricts of this city by all parties. In all
the five Senatorial districts there is but
one Republican in nomination, namely,
Robert H. Strahan. In all the other
Senatorial districts the Republicans have
indorsed the -Tammany Democrats
for the Senate. Failing to find available
men in their own party, they have in
dorsed Goebel Halliday, Morissey and
Bixby, all anti Tammany Democrats.
One Republican is all that twill be pos
sible for the party to secure in the SEN
ate from the city, and the chances for
that one are growing less and less every
day. 1t is gratifying to know that in
any event New York will be practically
unit in the Legislature on the main
question, that Of apportionment.-M y
W0yld.
John Morrissey the Republican cans
ddate for State Senator! Truly, when
adversely overtakes political party, as
in the case of an individual, they are
glad to associate with those they former
ly turned up their delicate noses at, and
spoke slightingly Of, even despised,
Republicans used to think they could
not cover the Democracy with greater
odium, than to refer to their support of
John Morrissey for public offices. No
party but the Democratic-so the Re.
publicans used to talk-would think of
running for office a notorious gambler,
the keeper of a gambling hell, notori-
Gus prize fighter and supporter of the
"ring," with all its disgusting brutalites.
They referred to the Democrats running
and electng Morrissey to Congress.
This was when the Republicans were in
high feather, and prided themselves on
their responsibility.
But adversely chastens and humbles,
scourges out that haughtiness that as
sumed airs Of arrogance in the days of
prosperity and power. Those same Re.
publicans are now ready to support and
elect the same John Molrissey they used
to abuse Democrats about. Truly, time
is great leveler. Mr.. Morrissey is no
better now than he was then. Republi-
cans, therefore, must have changed. 1t
must be a source of pride to Mr.. Morris
sey to see his former revilers come to
his support.

MR. Henry F. TRAINoR has for six
years been engaged in investigating the
frauds of the Tweed Ring, and was be-
fore the Committee of Inquiry on We'd
nesday. He said that between Jan. 1st,
1868, and Jan. 1st, 1871, about $50, 100000
were taken from the treasury. Besides
this, there were large frauds in street
openings, street Improvements, ETC., not
yet investigated, but which would prob
ably swell the aggregate to S5O,0OO 900.
Of the $50, 100000 not over Is per cent
was genuine charge against The city and
county, and if the ratio should hold good
in the millions yet to be inquired into, it
will appear that over $25,OO0,0OO were
actually stolen. The Ring prosecutions
have cost the city already $l94OOO. Be-
tween the lawyers and the rogues no
great sum of these millions will ever be
recovered to the plundered municipality.

with every nomination, how the vacancy
occurred, and, in cases of suspension, the
reasons for suspending the officer, Mr..
Hayes readily complied. This will bring
