France, Germany and Italy intend to main
tain steady neutrality if war comes. and
Austria has the same intention, although
her power to execute it is more doubtful.
Beaconsfeld may, therefore, fiatter himself
that although he may find no European
allies Russia will have none, and that with
only one enemy to contend against the
naval supremacy and the Indian troops Of
Great Britain will give her prepondcrance
of chances, the financial prostitution Of
Russia and the inexhaustible money re-
sources of England favoring the chances of
the latter in a war of any duration.
England will have some advantages now
beyond what she would have had if she had
supported Turkey as an ally last year.
Turkey was moribund and England re-
Trained from tying herself to carcass.
Ono of her aims is to acquire Egypt, and
had she fought as an ally OF Turkey she
would have been precluded from despoiling
her ally of that part Of her dominions.
England fighting alone will owe nothing to
Turkey. and will be perfectly free to
acquire Egypt if events shall open the
way. She needs Egypt to give her abso-
lutte control of the Suez Canal which
is Of the last importance to her If it is to be
her future policy to draw troops from India
as means of military influence in Europe.
If there is any force in this reasoning there
will be war if the English Ministry can
carry the English people along with them.
The interviews which we publish show that
peace is the interest and the desire Of oil the
European Powers except England. If Eng
land forces Russia to extremities it will be
because her tancied interests as an Indian
Power take her out Of the common circle OF
merely European politics.

1t is satisfactory to learn from the Com
missioner Of Public Works that there will
be no necessity this year to cut off the sup
ply of Croton water from the fountains in
the parks. The large reservoir is now we'll
supplied, and the measures taken to pre-
vent leakage in the aqueduct and waste in
the consumption will secure us against a
scarcity of water this season. 1t is to be
hoped that tho predictions of the depart
ment will be verified. The bill to provide
for better distribution of water at high
levels will, no doubt, become a law, and
will be great relief to residents in tho
upper parts of the city. The necessity for
these expedients, however. proved how de-
sirable it is that the water supply should be
such rs our resources warrant and the in
terests Of the city demand.

How the People Are Doc sored.

If the Rev. Mr.. Vosburgh, over in New
Jersey, is guilty of the offence with which
he is accused, and we suppose that before o
grand jury could be brought to indict him
and public prosecutor to take up the case
they must have been made aware of the ex-
istence of testimony not yet produced-if
he is guilty he is rre-enlinently fortunate
in one prominent witness against him.
Whatever the case Of the prosecution may
be it is hopelessly prejudiced by the testi-
mony of the medical witness. Judge and
jury will be sadly tempted to turn out OF
court, without perhaps sufficient further
inquiry, a case in which common intelli-
gence is insulted by the production OF
this person in the character of
physician. This mans ignorance Of the
plain facts of medical science is simply
tarcical. He presents in substantial reality
the case that Moliere imagined when to rid
icule the Ignorance Of the doctors Of his
time he pictured as in consultation on an
equal footing fellow just from his labor as
n woodchopper. Molieres doctor thus pic
tured discussed the heart as on the right
side Of the body, and some Of the patients
friends suggesting that they had always
heard it was on the left side the doctor
said, "Nous avons change tout cela" This
phrase, which has come into proverbial use
in France, must be very constantly applied
by the Jersey City doctor. To get his ideas
as they are he must have changed all that
has been hitherto known in anatomy, phys
iology, materia medica, therapeutics and
even in the uso Of ordinary words, for the
minute passage by which the bile reaches
the intestine he calls "a viaduct." His own
account Of his knowledge Of the relation Of
important organs shows that he is in this
respect on precise equality with the doctor
in the farce That respectable people are
cared for in medical matters by persons Of
this stamp as to knowledge is the most re-
markable disclosure Of the trial. How many
doctors are there just like this one who
are not yet found out? We are disposed to
believe that they are very numerous. This
practitioner had passed through two "uni-
yersities.

Governor RobinsOn's VetOes.

Governor Robinson has used the veto
power with much freedom this session, but
always with discretion and judgment. The
only occasion on which the wisdom Of his
action has been called in question was in
the case Of the original Funded Debt BILL
The main object OF the bill was SO desirable
that many persons regretted the Governors
refusal to sign it, principally because
they despaired Of the passage Of
moro perfect measure in the brief
time remaining of the legislative
session. The result has justified the Gov
errors course in this instance, and in NIL
others his yetoes have commended them
selves to public approval. In his action on
the Supply bill Governor Robinson saved
the State nearly one hundred thousand
dollars which had been improvidently in
serted by the Legislature, and not IN item
rejected had any right to be in the bill.
The saving effected this year is an
other proof Of the excellence Of the
constitutional amendment which empowers
the Governor to veto items in such bills
without destroying the remainder Of the
law. Another discreet veto is that Of the
Canal Superintendency bill. This bill was
designed by the republican Legislature to
cripple and embarrass the new Canal Super
intendent. The Governor shows that it is
in direct antagonism with the system in
augurated by the recent constitutional
amendment and not yet tested for sim
gle season. The new system is entitled
To fair trial, and the bill would have been
rejected by the Governor even if its provi-
sions were not in such manifest conflict
with the constitution rs to render it certain
that it would have been set aside by the
courts had it become o law.
A large number of bills are still in the
Governors hands, and under the amended
constitution he must sign such as he APP
proves within thirty days of the final adj
iournment. All bills not signed within that
time are killed. This is a judicious pro-
vision, rs the people now know just what
bills become laws, but it entails much labor
on the Governor for month after the close
OF the session. Every bill will be thor
oughly scrutinized and no doubt many will
be suffered to die Among those that ought
to DO passed over by the Governor is
Assembly bill No. 3G4, entitled "An act to
provide for the better protection of prop
crty aud life in the State Of New York from
the rapid spread of fires through steam
elevator passages or fucs." Under plausi-
BILE and attractive title this bill is neither
more nor less than q job concocted
in the interest Of putentce. In
requiring the application Of apparatus for
the automatic movement Of hatch covers in
oil elevators it simply compcls every owner
to purchase certain patentee's invention.
Tho law now requires that hatch covers
shall be provided on every floor where an
elevator is used and shall be closed at night
or after business hours. Tho bill is un-
necessary rs we'll as being n Transparent
Job. There arc doubtless many other "little
iokers" in the bills rushed through during
the last hours Of tho session, but they are
not at oil likely to escape tho Governors
notice.

dress the orator deprecated the evil fame
that had come to his profession through the
misdeeds of rogues in the robe. "There Is
a considerable amount OF idle and thought
less prejudice in the world against lawyers
but that is because the whole profession has
to suffer for the faults and vices Of its worst

that the world at large proceeds thus IL

same spirit toward the brokers?
