IT has been suggested that the ore
taken out in running the 22oo level
crosscut in the Sierra Nevada mine be
milled forthwith. in order that stock
holders may know how the new ore
vein averages under the stamps. The
idea is an s~minently sinsible and practi-
cal one and should be acted upon rs
soon rs possible. A milling test is the
only true test and Is worth moro than n
million assays. II the milling returns
are satisfactory. the ore extraction and
milling might be continued and perhaps
made to pay the expenses Of further eI-
p~loraiions. Lateral drifts north and
south would furnish the ore for milling
and explore the vein at the same time.

on any provision of his contract, would be
ruinously costly. This would be the Poiice
Commissioners whip, while the reward ior
complying with the demands OF au-
thority would be the profit made
under n judicious relaxation OF GER
tain stringent requirements. To protect
the city from this latest and most
scandalous trick of the police officials they
should be promptly enjoined by the courts
and restrained from taking any steps to-
ward the making of contract under any
pretence. The injunction should be pro-
cured without delay, and we do not believe
that any judge will refuse to grant it on the
ground that it is inexpedient or unneces-
sary These Mulberry street tricksters must
not be permitted to head off legislation and
then raise the cry, IA street cleaning con-
tract is made for so many years. You can
not impair the validity of contract by
legislation. What is the use of legislation
now?"

domestic market should not be flooded
with government bonds returned from for
eign countries. The policy of MIR. Sherman
will forestall this danger as well as facili-
tate resumption in other important re-
spects.
If he is not interfered with by Congress
he may have thirty-fve millions of silver
in the Treasury on the 1st of January. He
would doubtless use this silver in redeem
ing the greenbacks first presented, and be-
fore it was exhausted the greenbacks by
diminution of their amount, would be at par
with gold, which would remove all motive
for run on the Treasury. The silver men
should not object to this policy, because
after the LIST of January the silver coin
will come at once into general crcula-
ton. so far as the holders of greenbacks
might prefer to have it. To put it into
general circulation now would give an un-
fair advantage to the few who might first
get possession of it, enabling them to make
a profit at the expense of tho customs reve-
nue. and to pay their duties on easier terms
than their rivals in trade. Mr.. Sherman s
policy is so wise and so entirely defensible
that we trust no attempt will be made by
Congress to obstruct it.

The Halifax Award.

The Boston Herald has procured and pub
lished the opinions of several of the most
eminent citizens of Massachusetts as TO the
binding force of the fisheries award. We
reproduce these interviews, to which the
great eminence of some of the authors Will
secure respectful attention. On questions
of this kind the strongly expressed views OF
men like Charles Francis Adams and Robert
G. Winthrop cannot be safely disregarded.
Although there is sharp conflict OF Massa-
chusetts opinion on this subject the prepon-
derance in favor Of paying the award is very
great, especially in weight Of character.
Among the Massachusetts opinions that OF
Judge Thomas is noteworthy. Though not
SO we'll known to the country as Mr. Adams
and Mr.. Winthrop he is remarkably clear
headed jurist, and his argument on the
point whether the decision of mere ma
jority Of the arbitrators is binding is fitted
to convince laymen as we'll as lawyers. 1t
is a cogeDt appeal to common sense. Why
was it necessary to have a third commits
sioner if an award must be unanimous in
order to render it binding? In cases where
unanimity is necessary for valid decision
two arbitrators are as good as three. The
only ineligible reason for appointing
third is the possibility of deadlock
which would prevent decision. But II
unanimity is necessary one dissenter can
as effectually block o decision and render
the arbitration abortive by outstanding
the Judgment of two fellow commissioners
as by withstanding the judgment of one.
The only reason for a third commissioner
was to prevent deadlock between tho
other two. The very fact of having third
is proof that unanimity was not requisite,
because unanimity is as easy between two
as among three.
Mr. Adams and Mr.. Winthrop may be
entirely right in holding that the award
should be paid, but it does not thence follow
that Mr.. Blaine is wrong in wishing to have
it's history and its equity fully investigated.
The treaty allows an interval of year be-
tween the rendering of the award and its
payment. Until that year shall have
elapsed neither England nor Canada has
any right to question the good faith of the
United States. In engaging to pay the
award we did not bind ourselves not to in
quire into its justice. 1t is undoubtedly ex-
orbitant, and if Congress makes an appro-
priation to pay it, with full perception OF
it's extortionate amount, it will act like the
righteous man ''who sweareth to his own
hurt and changeth not"

The Treaty Ratified.

The most important news to-day is the
ratification of the treaty between Turkey
and Russia by the Gear ut st. Petersburg.
We may, therefore, look for a prompt pub
LEGATION Of it's terms on their. COM
munication to the Powers. Specula-
ton has exhausted itself on what
the document may contain. SO that
until we learn automatically, there is
no more Of value to be said on the
subject But all Europe is on tiptoe to
know what the terms really are, rs the
peace of the Continent may depend
on them. The project for the Congress
takes clearer shape. Objection will not
be made to the presence of Greece or ''other
secondary and interested Powers" but
Russia distinctly intimates that as it is to be
q Congress Of first class Powers-the rep
resentatives of other nations will be there
simply as delegates to discuss, but not to
decide, the points of interest to them. Rus
sia, at Bismarck's request, consents to lay
the entire treaty before the Congress, If
that body calls for it. In spite OF all this
the indications are not altogether reassur-
ing The phantom Austro-Anglian alliance
is talked of again the English are said to
have gained permission to land men
on the island of Tenedos, close to
the entrance to the Dardanelles, and
to bring four more iron-clads into the
Sea of Marmora. The Russian advances
are even more significant, the Grand Duke
Nicholas being determined to let no oppor-
tunity pass of securing his positions against
surprise or treachery. The situation, there
fore, is strained to the utmost, and q few
days will decide whether the war is over or
about to recommence on a grander scale.

Shall the Police Board Contract
Trick Succeed.
Contract

The Police Commissioners, feeling that
change must be made in the administration
Of their Street Cleaning Bureau on account
Of the popular indignation aroused by the
outrageous neglect and indecent disregard
of every duty the officials owe to the people
of New York, and fearing that the Legsla-
ture may deprive them of the control Of the
lucrative business Of street cleaning and
New Jersey swamp lot filling which they
have been enjoying for several years, are
resolved on committing this city to con-
tract for o long term of years, by which they
hope to improve their business interests
while defeating tho plans OF honest
reformers. On next Tuesday they in
tend to make a nominal transfer of the
work of cleaning the whole city to
some private individual, under the form of
q contract, but will retain control over the
entire work and its profits. The effects of
the ratification of such q contract as the Po-
lice Commissioners intend to make will be
to bind this city down for series Of years
to any terms these officials choose to arrange
with their contractor, to bar legislation on
the important matter of street cleaning by
interposing tho constitutional inviolability
of a contract between great public wrong
and the power of the Legislature to redress
it, and the creation of a most intricate sys-
tenn of corruption which cannot be assailed
by legal forms, unless the shrewd operators
engaged will recklessly afford the opportu-
nifty. This they are not likely to do.
We do not care how honest the con-
tractor may be when he assumes relations
with the Police Commissioners, he must
be their creature-their business agent
merely--if ho expects to gain any profit
from his contract. The operations he
undertakes being SO extended and expen-
sive the slightest extra demand upon his
resources, because of an unfriendly con-
| strnntinn being placed hv the Police Board

Z THE WEATHER.-The storm centre has moved
quite rapidly eastward from the lakes to the
New England and Long Island coasts, and is
now passing into the Atlantic on the fortieth
parallel. Rains have fallen in the lake region,
the Middle and Eastern States us the storm adj
vanced. When the centre had reached the
coast the high pressure descended from the
northeastward over Canada and came in con-
TACT with the margin of the area of high barom-
eter that Is central in the lake region. Thus Mt
Detroit and Port Huron the winds were in con-
!rary directions, increasing considerably Mt tho
latter place. The distribution of prcssures over
the United States east of the Rocky Mountains
has been disturbed by the peculiar move
ments of the low areas. With the storm
centre on the Middle Atlantic coast
o. described another is moving slowly
toward Florida from the southwcstward, and is
probably of cyclonc character. Still another
disturbance is advancing from Montana toward
Dakota, and the pressure is low on the Pacific
coast. Tho weather conditions, therefore,
promise to present rapid variations, and danger
GUS storms will traverse the Atlantic during tho
latter half Of this month. Except in the South
aud Southwest the temperature has fallen,
being lowest in the upper lake district. Tho
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will be cool and partly cloudy or fair, with III
ercasing northwest Winds Tomorrow 1t prom
ises to be cool and partly cloudy Or fair.

The letter Of our correspondent who ac-
companies General Grant, describing the
pilgrimage OF the ex-President's party
through the Holy Land. will be read with
the deepest interest throughout the Re-
public. TO Christians everywhere the land
trod by His blessed feet for mans re-
demption nearly nineteen centuries ago
has sacred fascination. In America
the child learns of Jerusalem before
he hears of Washington, and in after years
that centre of events SO interviewer with the
story of the God of Israel and the God of
the Cross seems as real q picture to his
mind as the home of his youth. AS O
picture it is never unseated by graphic
descriptions Of the scenes of the struggles
of Greece or Rome, or the efforts Of his
torians to draw as they happened the
great events of ancient Egypt or old
and buried Assyria. This little corner
of the world is place where every heart
makes its pilgrimage and we never weary
hearing Of it. And they made triumphal
entry for the American soldier into the city
of David. We wonder if. as the party
rode into the ancient city, the words
of the old war time hymn foated through
their minds and took on new
significance. Our correspondent gracefully
refers to the mighty men of war who went
that way to martial Accomplishments in the
ages gone blythe Hebrew, the Assyrian, the
Persian, the Greek. the Roman, the Saracen,
the Crusader; but the victorious leader OF
the hosts Of the Republic must have been
moved rs he recalled how 'the boys in blue
chanted rs they marched:-
He died TO make men holy;
Lot US die to make mon Tree.

THE CUSTOMARY ST. PATRicKs DAY PARADE
will of course take place to-day, and our princi-
pal avenues and streets will for several hours
be bright with green banners and resonant with
the patriotic music Of old Ireland Several lec-
lures and addresses illustrating the life and
teaching Of Patrick were made last evening, and
his memory was everywhere honored among the
descendants of his adopted countrymen, with
one exception. That was in what is called the
new Irish Church, where ST. Patrick was for
mally deposcd and good old Irish saint whose
nativity cannot be questioned-St. Columb-
kille-was installed in his place.

Pennsylvania has had two cremations.
It's curiosity is satisfied and it does not
want any more, consequently preventive
legislation is proposed by which this dis
position of deiunct mortality will be for
hidden under pains and penalties. Impris-
onment and q fine Of from five hundred to
one thousand dollars will be inflicted, as
occasion may require, upon those who in
defiance of the statute shall indulge them
selves in the hot luxury Of Dr. Lemoynes
furnace. There is no classical sentiment
in this introduction, but there may be some
good sense. There may be also some infu-
cnce of what is often designated supersti-
ton, but which might fairly be called by q
less prejudicial name. They who take the
moro literal views of the Scriptura1 prom
ises of the resurrection of the body have re-
pugnance easier understood than defended
to making the process more difficult by On
unnecessary mechanical reduction of hu-
mainly to ashes. There are certainly enough
persons of that sort in Pennsylvania to
make their influence felt in the Legislature.
But the practical element in the case is that
which relates to concealed crimes that can
only be proved by chemical or other physi-
cal examinations of the dead body. If it is
of little consequence what becomes Of
corpses 1t Is Of great deal Of consequence
that the security of life should be guaran-
teed by all possible means, and if the occa-
sional execution of murderer is brought
about by the discovery of arsenic in tho
stomach of the dead it is worth while for
that purpose to keep and quietly bury all the
