THE WEATHER.-1he conditions on the Allan
tic coast have undergone but slight changes
during the past twenty -four hours. A gradual
Increase Of pressure has taken place over the
Middle and Eastern States and Canada, follow
Ing the movement Of tho large depression that
has recently passed eastward But Ia the West
and Southwest the weather has become
exceedingly stormy, with an unusually
low barometrc pressure. Two centres of distur-
bance-onc in the region of Eastern Texas and
the Lower Mississippi Valley and another In tho
Missouri valley--cncloscd within a common and
elongated depression form the elements Of q
double great Storm which will affect the districts
between the lakes and the gulf during today
The northerly disturbance il attended by violent
winds from the southeast, southwest and north.
the steepcst gradient beingon the western margin
OF it's area of lowest pressure. Tho rains pre-
ccding this storm centre already extend cast
ward into the Ohio Valley, and will gradually
approach our Atlantic districts during to-day.
The southern disturbance is attended by mod
crate winds. but the rainfall Is very heavy.
From the condition. of temperature prevailing
Il Is very probable that local winds Of unusual
force will be experienced during the progress
eastward Of the two centres, and that
these will be dangerous over the Ohio
Valley and in the States Of Georgia
and Alabama. The temperature has risen
on the Atlantic coast and in the central districts,
but has fallen in the Southwest and beyond the
Missouri. Vessels leaving for Southern ports
will be exposed to severe weather ON and after
"Wednesday and during the balance Of tho week.
The weather IN New York and its vicinity to-day
will be warm and partly cloudy or cloudy, fol-
lowed by rains and increasing castcrly winds.

be more efficiently administered than
any other which has heretofore been tried.
Moreover, this mode of collecting license
fees would be more just and equitable than
any other. Each dealer would pay in pro-
portion to his sales, whereas, under the
ordinary laws on this subject. two dealers
may pay the same license fee and one OF the
two sell ten or twenty times as much liquor
MS the other It is fair that each be taxed
in proportion to the amount OF his sales.
AS source of revenue from the liquor
traffic this seems incomparably the best
measure which has ever been proposed.
There remains to be considered a more
important point than that Of revenue--that
of the morals Of tho community. In States
(if there be such) where the Maine law can
be enforced in all it's rigor, the Temperance
men may reasonably object to the Moffett
register as we'll as to every form of permits
sive sales. But the Maine law cnn never be
enforced except in agricultural States or
States in which the cities are few
and small. New York is not such
State More than half our population are
jewellers in cities. Prohibition is impossi-
BILE in large urban communities, and the
only practical choice is between an unre-
strained and demoralizing carnival of rum
and law for regulating traffic which can
not be suppressed. A heavy tax on drink
ing would diminish its amount, and mode
of taxation which would enlist the dealers
in it's enforcement gives greater promise
of efficiency than any other that could be
adopted.

1t seems that even the Treasury officials
find it difficult to reconcile the report of
the Inspector Of Steamers at Philadelphia
on the loss of the steamer Metropolis with
the facts Of the case, and that the officer in
question has been requested to ''revise" his
remarks on the disaster and its cause. II is
difficult to trace the thread of common in
terest that unites the members of the
complicated organization of inspec-
tors Of steamers and their belong
ings when case like this comes
up for investigation. The blame is nearly
always found to rest on some one else.
Everybody, and particularly the official
body, is innocent of any carelessness in
granting certificates Of strength, soundness
or efficiency Of steamboats,, boilers, &C..
when such are shown not to have been justi-
fed by some great disaster. In the case Of
the Metropolis the official investigation dis
covered that, although the ship was sen
worthy when she left port with the In
her cabin, the cargo and the Captain were
somehow to blame for her destruction, aided
doubtless by the interference of Providence
to that end, !. Nothing is said. ir the re-
port that could lead to the suspicion that
the ships timbers were rotten and that her
inspectors were careless or venal. Yet that
suspicion is fast ripening into certainty in
the public mind, and even the Treasury
officials who review the evidence cannot
shake off its influence. It is even reported
that some inspectors will be removed for
granting certificates to the Metropolis. Does
not this suggest that close connection
exists between the destruction by wreck or
otherwise of rotten ships and the rotten
system of inspection to which they are
submitted? We suppose some notice is
taken by the inspecting officers Of the
character Of the cargo to be slowed in the
ships hold. If not the inspection is in
many instances useless formality, because
the nature Of the cargo often governs the
vessels fitness to carry it. In the case Of
the Metropolis it is limited that she
was seaworthy enough for passengers, but
rather out of condition for railroad iron.
combination cargo Of passengers and rail-
road iron, therefore, settled her fate, and
now that her rotten timbers have been scat
tered for miles along the coast and burned
for firewood by the fishermen the officers
who inspected herin Philadelphia and else

the blame on the passengers, who, possibly.

THERE CAN Be LITTLE DOUBT that the un-
known man found dead yesterday morning in the
Weehawken quarries was murdered, the motive
being in all probability robbery. The immediate
neighborhood is infested by several lawless
gangs of young thieves. 1t ought not to BIO diff
cult for the police to ferret out the murderers.

course that historians deemed it not worthy

it is likely that in the next civil war Penn
