Hunting the Body snatchers.

Perhaps the report that four persons un-
doubtedly parties to the theft Of Stewards
body have been taken into custody would
command more attention if it were tride
more specific, since the police are just now SO
much better watched than they ever watched
any one in their lives that it is not easily
to be understood how arrests Of this ilnpor-
tance could have been made without
the knowledge of the particulars
getting abroad. Doubtless the public will
use its discretion as to believing this story,
and it will also, in all likelihood, do the
same as to the fancy that the police stand
with their hands suspended over every one
concerned in the outrage-ready to seize
each his man at given signal. That story
presents to the mind picture rather too
much like what is seen at some summer
hotels when twenty colored gentlemen
in white aprons march down the
dining room each with dish Of
horseradish in his hand, with which
they all go through the manual Of arms,
and which they bring down with electrical
effect when the head waiter fourishes his
pepperpot. We would be glad to have the
police catch the men even with that sort of
style, but the assumption of that style
must be accepted as an indication that they
have not the men in sight.

That Missing Greenback Party.

The greenback national party claimed in
its official organs 250,000 votes in New
York and got less than $4,000. 1t claimed
25O, 900 in Pennsylvania and got $1,000. 1t
claimed 1850 in Michigan and got
72,OOO. 1t claimed ninety Congressman
and got eight, and it showed once moro
that it is tn excellent club in the hands Of
the republicans with which to defeat the
democrats bat that is al. Fortunately on
the 1st of January the country will resume
specie payments and then, unless The
democrats break up their own organization
and join the greenback party and march on
to sure defeat under the banner of infa-
ton, we shall hear no more of the green
hackers unless they come out in their true
colors as land spectators and subsidy
mongers.

Confiict or Authority.

AS the streets are principally intended
for the use Of the public as thoroughfares
any permanent obstruction Of them by
structures in the nature Of shops is, Of
course, unlawful, and is more or less of
nuisance as the case may be. All
the streets in the vicinity of Wash
ington Market are obstructed in this
way to some extent and doubtless the
fact that all that part Of the city
is given up to such uses has
caused the Instructions to be looked
upon with more tolerance than they would
find in other neighborhoods. But Washing
ton Market tends to bubble over to extreme
limits when it finds its way as far as the
block in Vesey street east Of Greenwich,
and the Department of Public Works seems
to us to have decided wisely that obstruc-
tions there should be removed BY the
report it will be seen that this was resisted
by the clerk of Washington Market. In
what way does the clerk OF the market have
jurisdiction over streets that are not near
the market?

Neutrality or the Black Sea.

1t is provision of international law with
regard to the Black Sea that sits waters and
ports are formally and forever forbidden to
ships OF war OF all nations, whether those
whose territories it touches or others" and
to this there are no exceptions save in favor
of gunboats for the Danube service or for
the Russian and Turkish coast service. At
the close Of the recent war it was agreed
that the provisions of former treaties which
touched subjects not touched in the recent
treaties should remain valid rs the de-
clared will of the parties. Consequently
the provision quoted above must be
regarded as a supreme regulation in
regard to the Black Sea; and the Rus
sian Golos does not so too far in its declara-
tion that the mission of the British gunboat
Condor to Bourgas is violation OF the neu-
trality Of those waters. Bu< England,
which makes noble noise if it catches,
or only fancies it catches, any other Power
in the violation of a treaty, takes the liberty
commonly Of acting on its own impulses
without regard to treaties. Perhaps, how
ever, the British government was not aware
that it has recently assented to give validity
to law which should have kept its gun
boats out OF Bourgas Bay. 1t may we'll be
as ignorant OF the law on that subject as it
was of the law in regard to the fishermen's
trouble in Fortune Bay.

Let the Play Begin.

At last there is something definite from
the Afghan frontier, and the date of q
meeting between Her Majestys troops
and those of the Ameer of Cabul
is fixed for Wednesday next. The
importance Of the statement of the
Commander-in-C Chief OF the British forces,
printed in our dispatches, does not attach
to the liking OF the date so much as to tho
internal evidence which the statement
involves that the naughty Ameer has
spurned the yiceroys ultimatum. It
presumptiyely confirms the rumors that
have been reaching us to that effect for
several days past. Great Britain is going
to have her challenge to fight accepted; or
she has, at Rawil Pindce, COM
mander fashioned after one Of our most
promising Indian fighters, who is always
about to capture ''the hostilcs," but never
succeeds. Whether or not the pride of the
British nation will be satisfied with a
contest between her Indian army and
the barbarians OF Afghanistan, after
the parade which was made of the
vast resources of the Empire at
Malta and Cyprus, remains to be seen. At
any rate, this seems to be the only oppor-
tunity afforded just at this moment for the
employment of her military energy, and the
world may as we'll see what Great Britain
can do.

Let Us Prepare in Time.

It has been the custom in New York to
wait until we have heavy snow storm be-
fore considering how we can get rid Of the
snow heaps. As soon as the streets are
blockaded and travel either on foot or in
vehicles is rendered difficult the people
begin to complain, the press opens its bat
teries on the authorities and the Street
Cleaning Bureau discovers that it has no
appropriation applicable to the removal OF
the snow and ice. Then discussions as to
the best means Of relieving the city and
suggestions from theoretical street cleaners
commence, and the city goes on suffering
day after day, week after week and even
month after month, until the sun, the wind
and the rotting rain do the work which the
authorities are paid to perform.
It is to be hoped that this year the Street
Cleaning Bureau will prepare for the snow
before it comes and be ready with some
plan for its removal in advance Of our an
nual blockade. The streets have been bet
ter kept recently than for some time pre-
viously, and it is to be hoped that the i'm
provement observable in the street cleaning
work will not be Of temporary character.
If no plan Of removing the snow as soon as
it falls has yet been considered and decided
upon the authorities should at once set
about that necessary preliminary work,
either by advertising for proposals or per-
fecting their own arrangements. snow
blockade can easily be prevented, provided
the rreparationS to that end are made in
time and with ordinary intelligence. There
is no reason why the city should suffer as
it does winter after winter when the people
are willing to spend liberal amount of
money to avert the annoyance. and the
street cleaning authorities should strive to
make the present season famous as one in
which we have at last been enabled to meet
and overcome our most formidable winter
enemy.

The French Senate,

Yesterday the three vacant life places
in the French Senate were filled by three
conservatives, one each from the three fac
tions that make up the conservative majority
in that body. 1t was previously understood
that this would be the result, as the con-
servatives had the power, and no one could
for moment fancy that they would elect
republicans. Only a quarrel between the
factions as to the equal distribution Of the
three places could have opened way for
the minority. Therefore the vote is simply
significant Of the harmony that for the
time controls the counsels of the enemies
Of the Republic. Within two months
another election OF Senators will quite
oyerwhelm the results Of this one In
January there will be elections to fill
seventy three vacancies. and of the out
going seventy-three fifty-four are conscrva-
tives and only nineteen republicans. An
exceedingly small proportion of repub-
licans will go out and very large propor-
ton Of reactionaries but as to the Sena-
tors who will take their places it is prob
able the proportion will be just the other
way. There will come in probably fifty
republicans to twenty-five opponents of
that party, and the small point taken by
the conservatives yesterday will be swept

the country would like to give the demo-
Gratis an ''innings;' nor is the cause of

old issues; ''the South" and the currency
have been rung in their ears until they are
sick of both. They wish to move on to
other and new questions; but they see
the republican party constantly barring the
way and perpetually dragging forward,
with the greatest ingenuity, these stale
issues. The President was wise enough to
see that this was the real and grave danger
to the continued ascendancy of his party,
and he began his administration with q

had the whole pack of his party leaders

these have succeeded SO we'll in beniud-

effort to get on the country finds itself

put their blatherskites to the front and send
their men of brains to the rear, the voters,
who are in the main respectable property
owning citizens, are shy of the democratic
party. General Butler is reported to have
said that he owed his recent defeat to the
churches, the property owners and the
school teachers He was probably misrep-
resented but it is certain that the demo-
cratic party will never succeed until it has
won the confidence Of these three parts Of
the community.

The Manhattan Bank Robbery.

Some one has been arrested because some
one else has a suspicion that he may be
connected in some indefinite way with that
piece Of ancient municipal history, the rob-
berry Of the Manhattan Savings Bank. As
the robbery Of that bank occurred previous
to the robbery Of the Stewart vault it has
been forgotten by the whole public, except
perhaps the unfortunate persons who had
intrusted their property to its officers. 1t
was natural for a people not disposed to
worship the police blindly to suppose that
they had forgotten it with the rest for
though 1t has no doubt been announced
from time to time that the detectives had n
clew IL il we'll understood that their possess
sion Of millions Of clews is consistent with
dense ignorance on the subject to which
the clews are supposed to relate. But be-
holdl the memory OF the police is better than
was commonly thought, for they have
actually made an arrest on that old account.
It may be that the man arrested was not
connected with the robbery in any way
whatever; that remains to be seen. But,
guilty or not guilty, his arrest is an agree
able evidence that If the police do not pos.
