The bill making an appropriation ofSl5O,OOO
for the Paris Exposilioo, and furnishing ships
to carry exhibits to Paris. passed the House OF
Representatives yesterday. The SUN is, c)m.
parativcly, u small one, and would not, if it were
the only unnecessary expense to which the peo-
pie ofthe country are biectcd by the Govern
ment. amount to much. but, added to the hun
dreds of other needless expenditures. such, for
instance, az the 500 600 for the Sitting Bull
Commission, that are made at every session OF
Congress, the whole constitutes burden that
is opprt s,ivc, aud one that the peoples repre-
sentatves have 90 right to impose upon them.
This i, country in which one man is supposed
to have no more privileges than another,
and if that b, 81, why is it that provision is
made for bearing the expenses OF a few who, tor
their own advantage, wish to exhibit their
goods at Paris Special legislation is repugnant
to the principles Of free Institutions. and we
hope the bill may DO defeated In the Senate.
If the rich manufactures of the North desire to
expose their wares at Paris, let them bear the
necessary expenoe themselves, and not impose
tho burden upon the taxpayers OF the country.

to make their terms of Office begin and end
with that OF the Mayor who appoints them.
With the present long terms of from
four to six years his predecessors
appoint the agents for whose conduct
he is responsible, which deprives the
Mayor of all efficient control over his own
subordinates This thoroughly bad system
is bequest of the corrupt Tweed regime,
and we hope this Legislature will uproot it.
1t is as absurd as it would be for
General Grant to appoint President
Hayes Cabinet and leave him with
out power to make any changes in
it. If the Mayor had the appointment Of
all the heads Of departments who are to
serve under him, and could displace them
as freely as the President does Cabinet Of
fcers, we could have thoroughly efficient
city government whenever the people elected
as Mayor man of energy and capacity.

The Ocean Horror.

A more horrible recital than that Of the
sole survivor of the Maria's crew has seldom
been given to the public. A wrecked,
water-logged bark drifted away from any of
the regular ocean pathways, and her crew,
without water or provisions, subsisted for
more than o month upon the bodies and
blood of their starved comrades, until out Of
company of fourteen there remained
but two men to be rescued by passing
vessel, and one Of these was unable to re-
cover, even when relieved from the long
agony of hope deferred. Language is un-
able to depict the horrors Of this dreadful
battle against fate, and the boldest imagina-
ton will shrink from the terrible task. None
of the horrors of the battle field can COM
pare with those which were endured by the
poor fellows who were bereft Of every in
centive to hope and every means of
exertion, who were steadily subjected
to the most horrible temptation that
ever comes to man, and who were urged by
on instinct stronger than any moral senti-
ment to violate humanity's dearest right,
while humanity itself most demanded pro-
lection and aid. In the face Of such dis
aster the world can but be dumb and
pitiful, and take more tenderly into its SYM
pathies a class of men who complain less
and suffer more than any other in existence.

Filling Little Hcn Gate.

We are fully satisfied that the closing up
of this useless channel will not be followed
by any injury to the navigability of those adj
joining it. Indeed, there Is good prospect
that considerable improvement will be
effected in the condition of the Harlem
River by such work. The modification
of the system of currents that now operate
in regulating the river sections would be
advantageous to navigation, because by
concentrating the ebb and flood cur
rents and directing them through the
Harlem River and the Bronx Kills the
width and depth Of these channels will
be increased. AS it is the Little He'll Gate
current, particularly the ebb, creates eddies
in the Harlem River and a narrowing and
shoaling of parts of its channel by deposits
But the question arises, How is Little He'll
Gate to be filled? Assuming that the rep
resentatives of the federal authority do not
interpose any objections to the filing up on
the ground that navigable waters are being
INSTRUCTED, we desire to know how this
work is to be performed and by whom. If
the Police Department or any other branch
of the city government that may have it in
charge intends or attempts to make the
space to be enclosed dumping ground for
the city filth and garbage the people must
resist such an outrage by every means
in their power. The work can be permitted
to proceed only on one condition, and
that is the absence of every trace of gar
bage, offal and filth from the filling de-
posted. Under no circumstances should
a single load of Objectionable matter be
used for filing 1t should not be accepted
as an excuse for using such that the Board
of Health has dsnfected the stuff or that n
covering of earth will remove the dangers
arising from its use. We know what disin-
lection by the Board of Health amounts to,
and we are certain that the earth covering
which is generally proposed in such cases
merely serves to retain in the mass
of the filling all the germs of disease
and the poisonous gases generatcd by de-
composition. In word, to cover all the
elements of danger to be dreaded from it,
until, at some future time, when the filled
land is to be used for building, the excavator
breaks the surface and liberates the pent-up
poison with oil its concentrated venom.
Little He'll Gate, therefore, must be filled
with clean ashes, ordinary street sweepings,
building rubbish or pure earth. If these
cannot be employed then we must not in
terfere with the tidal ebb and flow through
the channel and must seek other places dis
tant from the city for depositing its garbage
and refuse.

reconcile his fair victim to the loss Of her
property and crowd her dreams with visions
OF handsome highwaymen for six months to
come, he dealt her a cruel blow and laid her
senseless at his feet. Then he snatched her
pocket, getting only pocket handkerchief
for his pains, tore scarf from her neck, and

A few days ago. citizen OF New York
was passing along Thirty-fourth street at
an early hour in the evening and when
near Fifth avenue, opposite the residence
of the late Mr.. A. T. Stewart, he was
struck from behind with what he supposes
to have been slungshot. The blow not
taking full effect he turned upon his assail-
ants with a stout stick which he carried,
and the ruffians, seeing that their intended
victim was able to defend himself, fed.
The character of these crimes indicates
the desperation to which men may
be driven by want, and probably it is inn
possible to always guard against the bold
acts of reckless criminals. At the same time
it does not speak we'll for the police that two
such cases should have occurred within SO
short space of time in the two cities

Progress. OF tn. Electoral Count.

Mr.. Springer, who has more zeal than dis
erection. made himself ridiculous by his
frivolous and cavilling objections to the in
eligibility of a Michigan and then of Ne
vada elector. He had the modification Of
being voted down almost unanimously by
the democratic House in the Michigan case.
and tried to escape scorn in the Nevada case
by making an apology on plea of igno-
rance or misinformation when the House re-
assembled yesterday morning We trust these
humiliations of Springer will serve rs q
warning to other superserviceable political
zealots who may be inclined to resort to
obstructive tactics. We suspect that
such tactics. will be Mt discount dur
ing the residue Of the electoral proceed
ings. Springer discharged blunderbuss
which simply kicked it's owner over,
and in the present temper of both
houses no purely dilatory movement
is likely to have any better success
The Oregon certificates were reached
yesterday and referred to the commission,
and it is expected that they will reach a
decision and render their judgment to-day.
Nobody doubts what that Judgment will be-
We trust the remainder of the count will
proceed without interruption. All further
opposition would be not only bootless, but

An 1mpractieable Chimera.

The Marquis Of Salisbury, whose Office in
the British Ministry implies special sources
of information on Oriental subjects and who
is fresh from the Constantinople Conference,
has declared in the House of Lords that the
whole British policy with regard to the Otto
man Empire is an attempt to realize IAN
impractcable chimera" He made this
declaration in the course of defence of the
government and it is scarcely possible that
the opponents Of the government, though
they anticipated some advantage from the
failure of his mission, could have fancied
that they would obtain from him so positive
nm assistance to their assault as this phrase
will likely prove; for the whole relation of
England and the other States of Europe to
the ''irrepressible conflict" between Turkey
and Russia rests upon the theory of the
feasibility of that tutelage of the subject
population of Turkey which is thus declared
to be chimerical Russia's position in
her quarrel with Turkey is practically
the championship of European against
Asiatic ideas the pretence that the politi-
cal system of Europe and of the present time
shall prevail wherever they come in contact
with the political system of Asia and of the
past that administrative government must
be sustained and strengthened to prevent
the lapse of States into mere savagery; that
civilization is better than barbarism that
fifty years of Europe is better than cycle
of Cathay. Russia is the advance of Europe
in contact with the rear guard of Asia. But
England, having views and necessities of
her own with regard to the relations of these
Powers, has denied the obvious fact that
they presented really the case of the present
age in collision with the past age. She
has maintained that it was too broad
generalization to say that Ottoman
rule was incompatible with civilization.
She became the champion of Turkey from
that point of view. She maintained that,
with proper tutelage-proper coaching" in
European ideas and mcthods-the Turks
would be as civilized, as satisfactory nation
as any other, judged even by civilized
standards She herself undertook the tute-
lage and has led the way in it. But now it is
declared by British Minister that this kind
of tutelage of one nation by another is IAN
impracticable chimera." 1t is true this
declaration is made with regard to the pre-
tended tutelage by NIL the Powers of the
Christian States of the Ottoman Empire !;
but if it is true Of them it must, fortiori,
be true of the tutelage by one Christian ma
ton of the Grand Turk himself
