BY the resolutions and short speeches Of
the meeting held yesterday afternoon in
front Of the Sub Treasury. the politicians
who have any curiosity on the subject may
discover that President Hayes in his words
and his nets has gagged the sentiment OF
the country very happily and is in sympathy
with il. and that any attempt to obstruct
that policy for the sake OF foisting into the
Cabinet men not wanted there will provoke
an amount of public indignation that the
politicians will not care to face. The spon-
taneous response Of the people TO what the
President has said their instant recogni-
ton that the names in the Cabinet are a
guarantee that he means to do what he has
promised. If it is within the limits Of politi-
cal possibility, have already rallied in sup
port of the new President moral force Of
public opinion that extends beyond the
limits OF tho republican party, and the
attempt to subordinate the good purposes
of national policy to mere Office hunting
intrigues will not do Just now. Wall street
only leads in protest which will be reit-
Grated, if necessary, by every other street in
the United States.

Cremating tho City Garbage.

We are glad to notice that ut least one
member Of the Common Council is gifted
with common sense and is willing to inves-
ticate and adopt the HEEALp's plan for dis
posing Of the city garbage by cremation.
The resolution introduced yesterday by
Alderman Simonson, requesting Mayor Ely
TO consult the Health Board on the crcma-
ton question, did not, however, escape the
keen-scented members of the majority, who
like turkey buzzards, are ever on the look
out for garbage. 1t was referred to the
Police Board, but for what purpose no one
but an Alderman can tell. Although the
Street Cleaning Bureau of the Police De-
partment established rules for the separa-
ton of ashes and garbage it was the first to
break them through its own employees, and
the most abominable nusances were created
in the centre of the city when tho foul
mixture was sold by the bureau to grade
streets and sunken lots. Now, however, our
Aldermen refer the question Of remedying
the evil that arises from breach OF the law
TO the law breakers themselves, and we are
expected to await in patience the decision OF
that august body The truth is that the AL
dermen suspect that there are "bones' in
the city garbage, and that it would be
burning shame to be in hurry to cremate it.
We hope that the people will not fail to an
ticipate our lightning" city legislators IN
this matter of cremating the garbage. by
following out the instructions recently pub
lished in the HERALD, and burning in the
stoves and ranges every particle of COM
bustible refuse, garbage cremation will be in
successful operation in New York before the
Police Board decides on its merits or the
Aldermen discover whether there's any
| thing in it.

self stands firm; and if Mr.. Conkling comes
to the rescue and gives it the vigorous sup
port of his peerless talents and eloquence
he will not only do a great service to the
country, but will dwarf all his envious,
aspiring rivals. He ought to have the sa-
gacity to see that the political old clothes
cast off by President Grant previous to his
retirement will be very much out Of date in
deed four years hence, and that
statesman of his stature and dimensions
cannot afford to put them on. The coun-
try demands that the policy of President
Hayes be sustained. It's adoption may save,
but its rejection will inevitably destroy the
republican party. Now is the time for the
most skilful pilot to take the helm. The
country will rally around Hayes as it rallied
around Lincoln in 1861. The issue then
was national life the issue now is national
regeneration. The pride of New York in
it's great Senator would be gratified beyond
expression at seeing him take the lead which
properly belongs to him in this emergency.
Whether the republican party is disrupted
or redeemed there can be no hazard to him
if he boldly asserts his claim to leadership
in this important crisis.

who is the Criminal.

Several dead bodies, many persons severely
injured and number of desolated homes are
the partial results of single cry of "Fire !"
in st. Francis Xavier's Church last night.
The alarm was utterly without cause the
trouble it has occasioned is almost without
end. Whether the cry was raised from
fright or from viciousness tho person who
uttered it should be searched for as diligently
as if he were murderer, and should be
made by the law a terrible example to ras-
Gals and to persons with uncomfortable
tongues. The cry of ''Fire p seems to be
always on the lips of some people, and
awaits only the slightest cause for excite
ment to bring it forth. Nothing could have
been less called for in a church in which
even an actual fire would have occasioned
but slight risk, and no person with a
knowledge of recent terrible events could,
unless vicious or otherwise dangerous to the
community, have created such an alarm.
This new and terrible calamity should
impress upon every one the necessity for
self-control in times Of alarm. Excepting
theatres, and seldom even in them, there
are no public buildings in which an au-
dience is in imminent danger in case
Of actual fire. Had either entire side of st.
Francis Xavier's Church been in flames
last night the whole congregation could
have made safe and speedy exit had even
half dozen persons exhibited ordinary
sense. 1t is the duty of men and women OF
character to assume authority on all occa-
sions of alarm, and by word and act prevent
the timid and the excited from ruling only
to ruin. The wise and prudent should take
warning from the calamity, which might
have been so easily avoided, and prepare
themselves for individual action in cases
where official control is not exerted.

Big Indiana.

Simon, the Big Indian of the Winnebagoes,
was the man who arose at the grand pow
WOW and declared himself not satisfied with
the nominations for the Cabinet and moved
that they be referred. This was right, tor it
is necessary in all cases that the Big Indians
should be satisfied. Many moons since it
was proposed that very capable man named
Dana should be sent to London. In that
case also the Winnebago heart was heavy.
Simon had Little Indian of his own that he
wanted to put into the Cabinet. In order
to get him in some one must go out There
was q man who was content to 60 out if
he could 60 to London; but he could
not 90 to London if Dana went.
Therefore nm enormous row was made
in the Senate that seemed to start
from superior virtue and respect for copy
right law, but which, in fact, started from
the Little Indian of the Winnebagoes. In
that campaign the Winnebagoes won
Dana did not GO to London and Pierre
pont did; Taft went into Pierrepont's
place and Don Cameron into Tafts. With
the tenacity Of his race he wishes to remain
there. Consequently the Winnebagoes are
once more in war paint. Will they win
this time? Perhaps not. And yet why
should they not? 1t is true that the coun-
try likes the Cabinet MS Hayes has made it.
1t is abundantly satisfactory to the Amer
lean people. But what are the American
people when the big and little Indians Of
the Winnebauoes want place? Let the
American people stand aside. If they
don't stand aside for the Winnebagoes who
will? There is another Big Indian in the
path who wants one of these places in the
Cabinet for person named Frye. This
Indian is Mulligans Mr. Blaine. He has
in his time raised many scalps, but he will
find that Hayes hair is very short.

Happily il is seldom that we are called on
to record disasters at sea which are the Gen.
tres of such melancholy mystery a. those
that are now known 90 have overtaken two
steamers Of the Cromwell line. IL ~ not
that the vessels have been lost. for that mis-
fortune has occurred TO many others. even
during the first two months ~ the present
year. or that many lives were sacrificed. for
such has been the fate OF the brascst and
best seamen. But. like the ship leaving
port and disappearing forever from human
ken. tho George Washington and her
sister ship, the George Cromwell. vanish
in the depths of the ocean and leave no
trace except the dismembered eorp-cs OF
some of their passengers and crews How
they met their fate will never be known.
The marks Of burning or scaiding on the
bodies of the lost from the George Washing
ton would indicate that either the vessel
foundered and exploded her boilers when
going down, or burst them while ON her
voyage. If she struck on Mistaken Point
while going at full speed the shock may
have caused the boilers to explode and com
plete her destruction.
The theory that ono or both vessels may
have been destroyed by Thomassen plot is
really too dreadful for contemplation. IL
could only happen if some fiend was in
censed against the steamship company and
sacrificed large number Of innocent per-
sons in accomplishing his diabolical re-
venge. Anyhow, there are sufficient num-
Der of natural causes for both disasters to
account for them as being among the casual
ties Of coast navigation. In the case Of both
vessels the weather was stormy, the littoral
currents strong and setting toward the
shore, and the coast perhaps the most dan
gerous on the American continent. The
position of Cape Race, although well known
to mariners, is such that it is liable to be
frequently surrounded by fogs and
the storms that prevail in that re-
gion. The very name mistaken Point.
given to the headland at the scene
of the first disaster, implies that it has
been many times cause Of shipwreck, and
it does not even need the list Of disasters
which we print to-day in orr correspond
ence from st. Johns to impress us with a
belief in its dangerous character. So far
the HERALD has spared no pains in present
ing all the facts connected with these dread
full shipwrecks We furnish our readers to-
day with sketch Of the scene OF the loss of
the George Washington. prepared on the
spot by our special artist. 1t conveys in
striking manner the appearance of the
coast line and the gloomy, pre-
cipitous cliffs that surround the gulch
wherein the bodies were found. The de-
scription accompanying the sketch leaves
nothing to be desired by the reader

give us all the substantial advantages of the

brought to par, and maintained steadily at

will be easily solved. We commend the
views of Mr.. Atkinson to the new Secretary
of the Treasury.

Presidents have often nominated for
Cabinet positions men that the whole coun-
try did not know, and II has commonly
turned out in such cases that the men were
persons with whom the country did not
greatly care 10 improve its acquaintance.
But the nomination by President Hayes OF
the gentleman whose name Is printed above
Is a surprise of just the other kind. 1t
might, in fact. be called an ideal appoint
meni In one important aspect The people
viii never believe. they cannot believe, that
the conspicuous and well known politicians
Of any party are the men most fit to fill
great Offices. and they always anticipate
that the President will discover new
men who are better types Of the genius
and culture and capacity Of the nation.
Commonly. as we have said. they are disap-
pointed in this for Presidents have gone
out Of the list II conspicuous politicians
hitherto only % hnd failures. But Devens
will not fail. His gaIlaniry as the comman-
der q the Fifteenth Massachusetts Mt Balls
Bluff; his splendid record an the commander
of the famous old second brigade in the
Blue division 81 the Sixth corps, conjoined
with his success as capable lawyer. attest
that he possesses all the kinds Of talent
necessary as an administrative officer. His
appointment isa conspicuous recognition by
Hayes OF the kind OF oficer of which Hayes
himself was a typc-the quiet. cultured,
brave and capable men who did splendid
service in the war. and when it was over

pets. satisfied with the approval of their
consciousness
