Indorsing Incoln potency.

An effort is being made to induce Mayor
Ely to renominate to the Police Board the
retiring Commissioner, Mr.. Erhardt. The
gentlemen who make the application
scarcely do justice to their clients cause.
They should present to the Mayor the reso-
lutions of the Police Board ordering
Roundsman Lewis to be ''reprimanded" for
an insolent and rufianly assault on a
respectable citizen. They should produce
before him the records of the Police De-
partment removing detectives from Head
quarters and Wall street on charges of col
fusion with thieves, and then putting them
on patrol duty to guard the property of
citizens mt night. They should cite the
honors paid to Captain Williams, Sergeant
Thompson and other shoulder. hittcrs Of the
force by the admiring commission. Above all,
they should point out the condition of the
streets and flourish before the eyes of the
Executive the largo monthly expenditures
of tho Street Bureau for the work of keeping
the city well covered with filth. Mr.. Err
hardt is one OF n commission that has for
feited public confidence. To reappoint him
would be to indorsc and approve all the acts
of the incapable Board of which he has been
a member and to fasten on the Mayor the
responsibility for both the past and future
blunders of the Police Commission.

How Many Eggs Make n Dozen


We have no doubt that Mr.. Humphrey
means we'll, and the first clause in his little
bill concerning eggs, if it stood alone,
would answer good purpose. But the
second clause is ridiculous. Mr.. Humphrey
asks the people of the State of New York to
enact that Hereafter in this State all con-
tracts for the purchase or sale of eggs shall
be by weight. avoirdupois, and one pound
eight ounces shall be held equivalent to
dozen or twelve eggs"
It is On excellent idea to have eggs sold
by weight. Not only eggs, but all kinds of
fruits and vegetables are constantly sold by
weight in California and some other Of our
States, MS well as very generally in Europe.
1t is the only absolutely fair way to sell
eggs, and the best way to sell potatoes and
other vegetables, pears, cherries and other
fruits. But why should the law command
and half? The illustrious Jack Cade,
indeed, commanded that in England,
under his rule, seven ha'penny loaves
should be sold for penny, and the three
hoped pot should have ten hoops, though
these valuable reforms were never carried
into effect. But here comes Mr.. Humphrey
with law commanding the hens Of the
State Of New York to lay eggs only at the
rate of pound and half to dozen. Is
this exactly fair to the hens And he adds
that .this act shall take effect Immediately,
as though the hens of New York could be
eypected without the least notice to Law Mt
the new rate. We advise Mr.. Humphrey to
leave the hens alone and get people to sell
eggs by weight. without attempting to pre-
scribe how many shall go to pound and q

A New Case or Secession.

Here is a nice state Of things. We are to
lose suddenly, and with hardly word of
warning, the greater part of the State of
New York. The Secession Committee in the
Assembly-no, we mean the Committee on
the Manufacture of Salt-have reported a
bill which has actually been read twice and
sent to the Committee of the Whole, and
which provides that the State of New York
shall henceforth consist Of fifteen counties
only-Rensselaer, Albany, Greene, West
chester, Columbia, Ulster, Duchess, Orange,
Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk, Queens, Kings,
Richmond and the city and county of New
York. The remainder Of the State--the COM
mittee ingeniously call it 'the balance"-is
to constitute the new and sovereign" State
Of Onondaga.
The Committee on the Manufacture of
Salt are evidently an enterprising body.
The Assembly ought to put drag on them,
weight on their coAttails. Or is it all q
joke? The bill provides that our present
United States Senators "shall remain
Senators of the State of Onondaga
during good behavior" and it COM
mands the little remainder, to be
called the State Of New York, to elect
Immediately two new Senators, lone from
each political party"-a device which shows
how closely the salt men have considered
all the details of this great secession. But
are the new Senators also to remain in Office
during good behavior"
The bill is probably joke, but surely a
very stupid one. Has the Assembly no more
important business in hand that it receives
and even prints such ridiculous stuff as
this? Has the Committee on the Manufac-
ture of Salt nothing better to do than to try
in such an absurd way to put salt on the tail
Of the venerable American Eagle?
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-04-27

Wehad not seen the bill putting the street
| cleaning into the hands of the Board OF
Health advocated by Mr.. Ambrose at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel meeting when we criti-
csed it last Sunday. Now that we have ex-
ahmed it we think it even worse than when
we spoke Of it only from Mr.. Ambroses de-
scription, and we trust the Legislature will
reject it. 1t provides an elaborate, compli-
Gated cast iron machinery for doing busi-
ness which requires often an extra force,
and can be prosecuted successfully only by
a responsible public officer, intrusted with
liberal powers and required to do the
work-to keep the streets clean at all times.
The Mayor, the most conspicuously respon-
sible officer in the city, can keep the streets
clean if the Legislature will tell him to do
it and to use such means as he may find
necessary for the purpose. If the streets
ore kept clean we should net care much
whether all the street sweepers were Ameri-
can citizens or not.
We are informed that Mr.. Ambrose COM
plains of the HERALD's course toward
him. He turned up as the advocate OF
new and very Objectionable scheme for
cleaning the streets. We discovered that
he had, in dumping garbage on the Harlem
fats, failed to ''screen out" drowned
horse and had dumped garbage. CORE
spondent whose communication we printed
on Wednesday asserts that the filling on
One Hundred and Seventh street is half
manure and garbage. and we understand
that this is done by Mr.. Ambrose. Now, if
he has been misrepresented, we will very
readily do him justice; but if he is really
filling One Hundred and Seventh street with
a deposit which contains manure and gar
bage, contrary to the laws, then we call
upon the proper city authorities to take this
matter in hand at once and to prosecute
whoever may be guilty. The health of New
York has too long been grossly trifed with.
1t is time to stop and to make contractors
respect the laws.
