Execution or HoedeI.

Hoedel, the would-be assassin OF the EN-
peror William, had his head cut on In
Berlin yesterday, as to which it may De
said, us was said on far more famous occa-
sion of similar nature, .sIt was nae much
of a head onyhow. but it was a sair loss to
him, puir mon." There was, OF course,
from the moment the man was taken, no
doubt that his career would end in just this
way. Vagaries of the sort he seemed given
to must be made dangerous-especially at
the present moment, when the land is
filled with an agitation that sees the source
of all evils in the cultivation of the military
spirit and sees the life and soul of that
spirit in the Emperor himself. But it is to
be apprehended that the element Of danger
thus exhibited is not the one that will
attract most the attention of the men who
are agitating the socialistic revolt. In fact,
case of this kind puts any government in
position of the greatest delicacy. 1t cam
not remit capital punishment without seem
ing to exercise an ill-judged and foolish
clemency yet that punishment in case of
this kind gives grandeur to the crime and
puts the criminal in the light of a martyr
before his associates. It is certain that
making crime dangerous deters few from
practising it, while in the eyes of fanatics
it gives it a new charm.
The New York herald., 1878-08-17
Yellow Fever.

Since case of disease in the city has been
reported to the Health Board as yellow
fever, and the Board had not at latest ac-
counts thought fit to remove the patient
from where he was found, it is doubtless to
be presumed that the doctor whom it sent
to examine into the case did not agree with
the one who reported it, and wasof opinion
that an error had been made in the diagno-
sis. 1t is SO plainly the duty Of the Board
of Health to act energetically in cases of
this kind, in the disinfecting Of personal
effects at least, that it's failure to take any
steps Of that nature must in the absence of
q report, be accepted as an evidence that
it does not believe the case reported is one
of yellow fever AS the man is just from
New Orleans it is, of course, probable
enough that he may have taken the disease
before his departure from that city, but it
is also highly probable that the mere fact of
his recent arrival from that afflicted place
mind of the physician called to attend him,
and might enable him to see yellow fever
in almost any given set of symptoms. There
is, therefore, much doubt us to the nature
of this case, and even if it should prove q
mild case of this dangerous fever it does
not follow that we are to have an epidemic.
Indeed, such consequence is in the high
est degree improbable. In New Orleans
and in Grenada the epidemic continues 70
rage but at the former place, where there
is very large daily average OF persons
taken, the disease is mainly fatal to stran-
gers and children, In another column will
be found communication from the Sur
geon Generals Office to physicians in the
marine hospital service which gives clear
and Ineligible statement OF what is known
of the nature of this fever and of what may
be done to reduce to a minimum the
chances Of danger from it.

Assa ssi mn tion I'm St. Petersburg.

Another assassination of distinguished
official in the streets of the Russian capital
exhibits anew the impunity with which
conspiracies can be organized and put in
effect in country commonly supposed to
swarm with police. That the chief of the
Emperor's private police can thus be ap-
preached and stabbed and killed in open
day, and that the desperadoes who stabbed
him could escape pursuit. all clearly proves
that the police in Russia is less numerous,
less viglant and far less effective than has
been thought. Reform by assassination is
not method for the regeneration of peo-
pie that is likely to commend itself to what
intelligence there may be in the country,
and it is probable that these crimes may in
Russia strengthen oil those evil features in
the government which the revolt hopes to
remove

Looking After the MIX.

The Board of Health appears to be making
some movement toward enforcing the laws
for the prevention of deception in the sale
of milk The cans in which milk is brought
to the city are required to be marked with
the name OF the vender and the locality
where the milk is obtained or produced,
and cans containing milk from which the
cream has been taken must be conspicu-
ously marked with the words "skimmed
milk" The officers Of the Board of
Health have recently been examining
the milk cars as they come into
the city over the several railroad lines
with n view to detecting any violations
of the law, and have taken samples from
the contents of the cans to be tested This
step is necessary one if we may credit the
statements made by correspondent of
nm evening journal, who writes from the
neighborhood Of one of the 'creameries"
with which the State abounds that
oil the milk sent from that place to
New York is skinned" the cream fetching
as high as twelve cents a quart From this
one station two thousand quarts of SKINNED
milk are sent daily to New York and four
hundred and eighty quarts of cream. The
large profit made on the milk by the New
York retailers may be imagined from the
statement that it is sold Mt the creamery"
for one cent per quart 1t is mainly this
miserable stuff that is retailed in the city
ut eight and ten cents quart.
1t is very desirable that the laws protect
ing the purchasers of milk in cities should
be rigidly enforced. Poor or adulterated
milk given to children is prolific cause of
sickness and death, and the law properly
provides penalty for the offence of decep-
ton in the sale of so necessary an article of
food. Swill milk stables, the tricks Of
s'cream cries" and the dishonesty of many
dealers who, after all the rest have
made their illegitimate profit out of
the article, dilute it with water in order
TO increase their own gains, are public
evils which ought to be suppressed. The
working classes often pinch themselves
in order to buy sufficient milk for their
young children under the delusive idea
that they are nourishing and strength
ening the little ones, when in fact they
are purchasing an article less whole
some and no more nutritious than
water. 1t Is to be hoped that the Health
Department will not allow its efforts to en-
force the milk laws to become q farce IL
has done little enough for the protection Of
The New York herald., 1878-08-17
The border Troubles.

A report that General Mackenzie had
crossed the border into Mexico in pursuit
of cattle thieves probably Indians seems
to have caused great excitement on both
sides of the Rio Grande, and rumors of i'm
mediate and desperate war prevail. The
HERALD correspondent in San Antonio, how
ever sends the quieting news, on the
authority Of General Ord, that if Mackenzie
has crossed into Mexico he has force suf-
fciently strong to prevent his being at-
tackled; and as he is on legitimate business.
and will return when he has performed his
duty, there is no reason to anticipate imme-
diate war.
The revolutionists in the Mexican border
States are evidently trying to stir up
trouble, and as they make no headway
against Diaz they now attempt to bring on
q war with this country as the only specu-
lation left them. If General Mackenzie
should find it necessary to hang or shoot
some of these fellows their loss would not
be regretted by the orderly people on either
side of the border.

we have hitherto pointed out that, for this
reason, the obligation will ultimately be
found to be light one. Premonition Of
that fact is now more plainly given in what
the Sultan has to say to Mr. Layard about
the reforms now proposed. Turkey does
not understand that this obligation to re-
form is a remuneration of her independence.
She does not mean that England shall re-
form her, but that she will reform herself
under English advice, which is as much as
to say that she will find all plans OF change
proposed impossible and will remain the

| common report states it, and that the coun-

common report states it, and that the coun-
try is on the way to prosperity.
These are facts. They will not be well
come to the agitators and demagogues who
clamor all over the country, and whose
leader Senator Thurman, we grieve to say,
has just become. 1t is the duty of public
men and of intelligent citizens everywhere
to make these facts known, and to explain
to the people that the remedy for what re-
mains of distress does not lie in new laws,
in government interference, in a new
and disastrous imitation of the cur
rency, which can only give a renewed
and fatal shock to confidence. A sound
currency is what the country needs a cur
rency which will enable us to trade with
the world on equal terms. The greenback-
ers and infationists have the un- american
idea that this country can regain prosper
ity by swapping jackknives. The true
American idea is that we can
tied market alone, but for all the
world. Why not? We have better ma
chinery, more intelligent and skilful work
men, cheaper raw material our manutac-
lures are already going into all the mar
kets of the world, from which they
were long excluded by our inflated
and deprecated currency. The wider the
market the more prosperous the producers
who supply it ; yet the greenback orators
are trying to persuade the American people
to adopt a deprecated paper currency
which would again shut their products out
from all the markets of the world except
our own. Every intelligent and industrious
workingman ought to oppose them, out of
the merest self-interest.
AS for the Kearney kind, we trust we
have had the last of them. His brief ex-
perience will not breed imitators, for it is
evident that something more than mix
ture of ignorance and profanity is needed
to move the workingmen of this country.

Prorogation OF Pariiam ent-Rs form
ing Turkey.

The British Parliament il relieved for q
season from the severe duty imposed upon
it for some months past of voting monoto-
nous approval of the acts of the govern
ment upon their completion, and jump
with this adjournment comes the news
from Turkey Of the Ottoman Interpretation
of the Cyprian Treaty. Her Majesty, in
the speech from the throne, says of this
treaty :-"It gives, as regards the Sultans
Asiatic Empire, more distinct expression
to the engagements which, in principle, /,
together with other Powers accepted in
1856, but of which the form has not been
found effectual." This is intended as a
court answer to the liberals, who have
sharply criticised the obligations taken by
England to guarantee the integrity of the
Sultan's dominions. II points out that the
same guarantee was made when the liberals
were in power but the guarantee then
made was in common with all the other
Powers France, Austria, Italy and even
Russia--which certainly makes all the differ
ence. Between that guarantee and this
there was, in fact, one instructive parallel
that is not referred to in the speech. Its obli-
CATION on the Powers was made contingent
upon the adoption by the Sultan Of impor-
tant reforms in the ministration of his En-
pire. None of these reforms were adopted,
and the Powers were relieved thereby when
the tug came. England's present obliga-
ton is related to the same condition, and
