NIidhat Pacha's Policy.

Midhat Pacha is reported to have remon-
strated with the Marquis of Salisbury on
the folly of Europe's continuing to annoy
Turkey on the subject of reform, and to
have limited at the possible danger to Europe
of this unreasonable, not to say impertinent,
conduct. AS Grand vizier, possessed OF
the capacity to put the case of his country
before the world in new light, Midhat is
success. Hitherto it has been thought rather
folly that Turkey should continue to
annoy Europe. There have been times when
it has even seemed certain that if the
nations of Europe could, for day or two,
so far disregard their mutual appre-
tensions as to agree upon common
course of action toward the Otto
man Empire it would thereupon become
extremely dangerous for Turkey to in
dulge herself in the aforesaid folly. But
behold Six first class Powers all assembled
by their representatives in the Sultan's
capital the most imposing council of Dip
lomatic medicine men lately assembled in
any city is there, and every individual State
is in full agreement with every other as to
the demands to be made upon Turkey. But,
Turkey bluntly tells them that their de-
mands are all nonsense that they had bet
ter clear away with themselves and cease to
annoy her, and that if they do not it may be
the worse for them. In this situation there
is such an effect of farcical solemnity as one
might conceive if corpse should sit up and
discuss with a coroner jury the propriety of
the jury's presence in his house.
1t is the present policy of the Turkish
government to demand the relegatIon of all
the negotiations to the ground of the An
drassy note; to reject entirely the recon-
mendations which Europe has agreed to
make to nullify the labors of the Con-
ference actually in session, and to propose
the initiation Of new series Of intermina-
BILE deliberations, starting with the innocu-
GUS generalities laid down by the Austrian
Premier This is not an unnatural course
in the circumstances. Ottoman authorities
might well prefer to start a negotiation on
their own affairs at any other point than one
upon which all the great States of Europe
are in agreement But it is hardly to be
thought that the Powers represented at
the Conference will look upon themselves as
merely in the drift of Turkish whims, and
the important question of the hour is as to
what action they will take if the Conference
without the accomplishment of any
purpose. It would seem as if they had
already gone too far to recede now They
have undertaken to settle, from deliberate
view of the danger of Europe and the ne
cessity of the preservation of peace, some
important points of the relations of the
Sultan to his subjects, and regard to their
own dignity must prevent their permitting
a case they have thus taken up to slip
through their fingers without any settlement
whatever.

The Health ono cr's Report.

In the past season three hundred and
sixty three vessels arrived at this port from
ports at which yellow fever was prevalent,
and on ninety -nino of these there were cases
of this malady. But there was no inter-
ruption to our trade with those ports-it
was greatly increased with some of them
vet no cases of the fever occurred in this
city save such as came by rail from infected
cities in the South This good result was
due to arrangements which may be re-
garded as the application to the case of
common sense rather than medical science.
BY the provision that vessels from such
cities should not carry passengers the
sources of difficulty were reduced to those
of cargo and crew; and as crews can be dealt
with far more freely than passengers can
the really principal need was an effective
system Of desinfection. which appears to

Tho Condition OF tho Streets.

It would be unreasonable to expect the
Police Commissioners, who control the
Street Cleaning Bureau, to keep all the
streets Of the city clean and free from OBJ
structions when we are visited by such q fall
of snow as that of last week. At such an
exceptional time the first necessity is to
clear the railroad tracks, as the immense
body Of travel cannot be stopped without
suspending all the business of the city.
People must 60 to their stores, their places
of employment and their labor, and even
the unavoidable delay caused by slow trips
occasions serious inconvenience. The rail-
roads cannot clear their tracks speedily
after heavy storm without piling the snow
in banks at the sides of the tracks, and even
if they should be compelled by legislation
to remove these heaps subsequently some
time would necessarily elapse before the
work could be done. At present the rail-
road companies are under no such
obligation, and the snow banks they
raise are left for the street cleaning authori-
ties or the thaw and the sun to dispose Of
1t would take an army of employees and a
vast sum of money to gather up and cart
away all the snow and ice in the city at such
q time, and these the authorities cannot COM
mand Still, with the force and the means
at their disposal, the Police Commissioners
can do something for the relief of the pub
lie, and the complaint is that for the last
week they have done nothing
President Smith, in letter to the Mayor,
sets forth the difficulties under which the
Street Cleaning Bureau labors, but he adj
vances some which do not exist AS the
Corporation Counsel and the Board of APP
portionment have decided that the appro-
priation for street cleaning for the present
year is available for the expense of remov-
ing the existing distractions of ice and
snow there can be no good rea-
son why the Police Commissioners
should hesitate to use the money for that
purpose. They can at least apply as much
of the fund as will clear the principal
avenues and relieve some Of the main busi-
ness thoroughfares. This they should do ut
once, and on their own responsibility. AS
the law imposes the duty of cleaning the
streets on them and not on the Board of
Apportionment it is unreasonable to request
the latter body to declare by resolution
what streets and parts of streets shall be
cleaned. This is precisely what the Police
Commissioners are required by the law to
do, and they should do it without any fur
ther delay.
The New York herald., 1877-01-11
Warming the Cars.

1t is to be hoped that the action of the
Aldermanic committee on the subject of
heating the street cars will be something
more than farce, and lead to practical
relief this winter. The presidents and
officers of the railroad companies have
shown much indifference and nonchalance
over the matter, and the people cannot ex-
pect any concessions from them that are not
forced. It is idle to argue rs to the practi-
cability of this or that scheme for warming
the cars it is clear that the roads will do
nothing, however simple, for the accommo-
dation of the public unless they are COM
PEELED to act through the power of the
Common Council to regulate" the use
of the cars. They know that the
people must ride, and they intend
to make all the money they can out
Of the passengers and to spend as little as
possible on their comfort and safety The
Third avenue line, which pays over fifty
per cent on it's legitimate capital, might
we'll take tho lead in affording some decent
accommodation to its passengers but it
seems more desirous of swelling its enor-
nous profits than of gaining this enviablo
distinction.
If the cars cannot be heated this winter
they can at least be made warmer than they
are by the use of weather strips, repairs and
clean straw. The cold drafts which every
person who rides in the street cars has felt
from the windows are the main cause of colds,
rheumatism and such ailments. In most
Of the cars there are holes and cracks in the
sides and flooring through which the wind
whistles at it's will These should be thor
oughly repaired, the windows supplied with
some sort of weather strips, and sufficient
quantity of clean, dry straw spread for the
passengers feet. Of course these improve
ments or comforts would be attended by
some expense; but the Aldermen will be
powerless indeed if they cannot force this
much concession to the public health and
comfort from the favored corporations.

British Jealousy OF Our Sea serpsn,

England has long envied US the exclusive
possession of the most wonderful snake of
modern times. In the London Geological
Gardens they plume themselves on their
reptiles, and in the dominions of the En-
press of India there are specimens that the
ophiologist contemplates with respect. But
with all these on their hands, as it were, the
British people have grown green with envy
in the contemplation of the oft recurring
chronicle of the great American sea serpent,
who disports himself in the ocean COM
monty within marine league or two of this
continent. 1t has thus always been within
the power of any New England skipper to
completely clap over" the whole British
people, and to fatten out the roundest and
amplest opinion of themselves possessed
by any chance group Of Britons. But the
remarkable report of marine monster seen
on the English coast indicates that England
has come to the conclusion that something
must be done in regard to the sea serpent,
and seems to indicate that she has resolved
to make believe she possesses a superior
member of the same family. It is said that
a ship was seen to suddenly disappear, as if
by an explosion and then a man on the
lookout saw near her another ship ofh queer
build, which turned out to be no ship at
oil, but living monster that had, it is to be
imagined, destroyed the first ship with a
twist of it's playful tail. Nations do not
credit this chronicle as yet, but it exhibits
the desperate efforts that may be made by
an envious fancy.

The Assembly Committees.

The Speaker Of the Assembly announced
his standing committees yesterday, and
there was, of course. much disappointment,
as there always is, on the part of those who
failed to obtain such positions as they
coveted. The chairmanships of the prin-
cipal standing committees are eagerly sought
after. and not always from the purest mo-
tives. They are too often used as the pass
keys. to the plumber of the session; for the
member who has it in his power to smother
or push forward bill at his pleasure COM
mands. the attention of the lobby. AS n rule
it would be prudent for Speaker to ignore
the claims of all who evince over-eagerness to
secure such prizes, especially if he desires
to preside over an honest body and to insure
good legislation. The work in the commit
tee rooms is in truth the model on which
the legislative ship is built. 1t is to be
hoped that Speaker Sloan has, in the most
important cases, made judicious selections;
but there is much new material in his COM
mittees, the quality of which must be proved
by time. The fact that he is reported to
have displayed much independence and to
have angered the usual over-zealous inter-
is at least promising indication
that his intentions have been good, and that
if he has made any errors they are only those
of judgment.

IT Is ABOUT TINE that the police put a stop
to the mendcancy of half drunken men who
annoy pedestrians on Park row. These men are
not only persistent in their demands, but they

in the city it is a shame that these undeserving
beggars are permitted to infcst our streets.

CAPTAIN HowGATE's PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
against the North Pole is receiving considerable
public and Legislative attention, owing to an
awakened interest in Arctic exploration. The
failure of the Mares expedition is conceded by
the leading English journals, and is attributed to
an overhasty estimate Of the difficulties that
bar the way to the Pole and the neglect of the
simplest sanitary precautions. Captain How
gates proposition certainly provides against any
such over-prudcntial exercise of judgment OH
the part Of the leader of an American party,
and If carried out would afford the "colonsts'
ample time for studying Arctic physics. Given
time and the men to dare and do, the distance
and difficulties would in all probability melt
away before their efforts like the frozen barriers
of the 'Palieocrystic Sea" during an open season.
We print to-day some further arguments in
favor of the scheme, which will be read with
interest.

have been thoroughly applied. BY the
adoption Of narrower policy in other cities
in communication with the South their
trade was driven hither and added to ours.
Inasmrch as there was no interruption to
communication by rail with Southern cities
that were devastated by the fever, and yet no
spread of the fever in the North all the re-
strictions of quarantine appear to be super
fuous, in some years at least.
