An In IA m Gus Fabrica tiOn.

On Friday last Sir Stafford Northcote read
from Lord Beaconsfied in reference to an
interview with Server Pacha, published in
the London Daily Ne,os, in which there were
allegations peculiarly unpalatable to the
Premier and his party. II have only to
say" wrote Beaconsfield, ''that the state
ment is an infamous fabrication" The
statement particularly thus characterized
was that Lord Beaconstield and Mr. Layard
had encouraged Turkey to fight and to per-
sist in her ruinous conflict by the promise
of English aid. 1t was not to be expected
that the Prime Minister of England would
go into particulars in u matter of
this nature, yet it would have been
gratifying to public curiosity if people
could have understood from his words
whether it was Server Pacha's charge that
he deemed fabrication or the allegation
that the Pacha had made such charge.
The Turkish statesman involved in this de-
nuncation is tho Foreign Minister of the
Ottoman government. He went to the camp
of the Russian commander to treat for an
armistice. In that camp he was seen by an
English correspondent, with whom he con-
versed on current events, and that conver-
sation was published as an interview in tho
London Daily Neos Now, an interview re-
ported by the regular correspondent of
newspaper with n public man is never
fabrication in the offensive sense OF that
term, and the word of a correspondent for
the truth of an interview is as good
as the word of Sir Stafford Northcote or
Lord Beaconsfeld in Parliament We
have no doubt that that interview was an
authentic statement OF what the Turkish
Minister said in the Russian camp. Did
the Turkish Minister state the facts falsely :?
That is where the rub is. The issue is one
of veracity between the British Premier and
the Ottoman statesman. who dealt diractiu

About Life Saving Stations.

The wreck of the Metropolis is going to
produce, it seems, large crop of plans in
Congress for improving the coast life saving
service. This is we'll enough. The num-
Der of stations ought to be increased, es-
pecially if all the talk in Washington of
increasing our foreign trade comes to any
thing practical. Not only this, but the in
spection of the coast ought to be more
thorough, and we approve of the proposition
to make navy officers do duty as inspectors.
From them we may at least hope that they
will infuse more thorough discipline into
the service, which it seems to us to need.
But after all this is done there remains
something else, and that is to take care that
the masters of steamers like the Metropolis
know enough to keep off shore in stormy
weather, and that old hulks such as the
Metropolis appears to have been are not
sent to sea heavily laden with iron and pas
sengers. Captain Merryman, of the rev.
enue marine, reports to the Secretary of the
Treasury that 'the Metropolis was rotten (;
her fragments are smaller than those of the
Maggie and Lucy"-a schooner lost last year
on the North Carolina coast.
Lord Dundreary would say on this sub
ject that ''an ounce Of prevention is worth
two or three life saving stations" and he
would not be nearly as far ont of the way as
the Huron and Metropolis were when they
went ashore. nss so

Returning to Civ tion.

The letter from Henry M. Stanley which
we print this morning summarizes the
story of his journey toward home and civil
lization after the long and dreadful one
across Africa. A,sense of mental and phys
ical prostration seems to have been expert
enced by the party when the coast, safety
and plenty were reached. The fact that the
work SO long in accomplishing was COM
pleted ut last caused reaction that even
the excitement of success and the warmth
of welcome could not overcome. Stanley
confesses that had he fallen sick among his
new friends at Bona no medical skill could
have restored him. But fortunately his
rugged constitution, enormous vitality and
sense ofduty to his followers and to the jour-
nails he represented sustained him against
even the natural effects of his recent terrible
labor and anxietyylunger and fntigue, and
the almost equally dangerous consequences
of sudden cessation Of bodily effort and
mental strain. While the Africans dropped
and died by the shore of the great ocean
after the long journey the white mans
strength did not fail him, and he has led
the survivors of his band to their homes.
The story of the voyage from the Congo to
the Cape is graphically told by Stanley.
From the Portuguese and British authori-
ties he has met with unvarying kindness
and substantial aid. His comments on the
condition of the streets of Loanda will
apply almost equally well to those of New
York Mt times, SO that we can sympathize
with the citizens of the West African city.
The reception Of the expedition and its
chief at the Cape WAS worthy of the colonists
and the authorities. Stanley does not fail
to express his gratitude for every courtesy
extended to him. This feeling will be
shared by all who love the objects for
which he labored

A Matter for Investig tiOn.

The Board of Education holds meeting
to-day for the further discussion of the re-
port of the Retrenchment Committee in
favor of cutting down the teachers and jan
itors salaries Sl77,000 below the total
amount of last year. Before this I'M justice
is finally inflicted on the teachers it is well
that the people of New York should thor
oughly understand the insincerity of the
pretence that it is rendered necessary by
the reduced appropriation made this year
for the support of the publis schools by the
Board of Apportionment.
The amount appropriated to the Board of
Education in 1877 was S3.553.0OO The
amount appropriated this year is So, 400. 600,
or S153, 900 less than last year. The Board
now proposes, under the false pretence of a
necessity" imposed upon it by this reduc-
ton, to reduce the salaries of teachers
$152,000, and janitors $25, 0OO- in all
Sl77,O or S24,0 900 more than the total
amount of the difference between last years
appropriation and that Of the present year.
The Board thus not only makes the teachers
bear the whole burden Of the decrease,
but actually takes from their sal.
aries for this year $4,000 more than
the decrease, to add it on to the
leaky items of books and stationery, re-
pairs of buildings and furniture, supplies
and "incidentals." Before this cruel in
justice is done to the teachers there should
be very searching investigation into the
expenditures of last year in the items we
have named. 1t is alleged that the Com
missioners who have the most to do with
the expenditures are the most anxious to
reduce the teachers salaries. 1t is a sug-
gestive and suspicious fact that in the pro-
visional estimate of the Board of Educa-
ton for the current year appear the follow
ing items =
For incidental expenses OF ward schools $65 800
For incidental expenses Of Normal School. 1000
For incidental expenses Of evening schools. 500
For incidental expenses OF coored schOols... 1000
For incidental expenses ot Board oil Educa-
ton C)...... ~ OOO
Total incldentals. S92 800
When it is remembered that every con-
ceivable outlay is provided for in separate
items, including $170, 600 for books, station
cry, &c. $780, 600 for fuel, and the enormous
sum of $3.50, 900 for sites, buildings, repairs
to houses, furniture and heating apparatus,
it is difficult to understand how nearly
$4,000 can be needed for incidental ex-
penses" Such items do not wear an honest
look, and we insist that they ought to be
thoroughly investigated and explained be-
fore the salaries of deserving class Of en-
ployes are so heavily reduced.

The Famine i'm China and the
Chinese Indemnity Fund.

The extensive famine in the Chinese En-
pire appeals to the humane sympathies even
of this distant part of the world, and Con-
gress has been pettioned to send the sur
plus of the Chinese indemnity fund, amount
ing to nearly three-fourths of million dol
lars, to China as a contribution to the relief
of the sufferers. 1t is impossible not to
sympathize with the motives that prom pied
this petition, but there are supposed to be
constitutional obstacles to granting its
prayer. To whom does this money belong {?
We must assume that it belongs to
the United States, for otherwise it
should long ago have been restored
to China, not as an act of charity, but of
Justice, and besides, if it belonged to China
it would not become us to dictate what she
shall do with it and make O show of beney-
olence at her expense. It belongs to the
United States in the same way that the un-
distributed balance of the Alabama claims
indemnity does. 1t will be argued that
Congress has no more constitutional
authority to give away in foreign
charity money so obtained than it
has to give money received into the
treasury by taxes or the sale of the public
lands. Even in the great Irish famine Con-
gress did not feel at liberty to make grant
Of money, but only gave the free use of
some government ships to convey the
contributions of private charity We
deem it unlikely that the indemnity
fund will be diverted to the relief of the
famine, and the objection will doubtless
rest on the constitutional argument and the
exnaliancv of seLtina snch a nrecadant

surely have been ruled by pious impair
tiality. They could have been dictated only
by zeal for religion. What respect must
the world have felt for so unwonted spirit
of charity fairness and justice! Rome could
not be charged with keeping her see for her
own children alone. This wise manage
ment meeting every schism, every division,
contributed largely to increase the power OF
the Holy See. Weighty motives have since
made notifications necessary" Those
"weighty motives cease with the fall of the
temporal power, and there is no reason why
the early practice of the Church should not
be resumed.
If the Conclave goes out of Italy for the
new Pontiff the English-speaking Catholics
possess valid claim to have their wishes
considered. They have become one OF the
largest branches of the universal Church
and are not excelled by Catholics anywhere
in pious zeal and loyal devotion to its in
terests Either Cardinal Manning or Cardi-
nal McCloskey would be highly acceptable
to Catholics who speak the English tongue,
but American Catholics would prefer the
latter This preference does not rest merely
on personal appreciation and affection orna-
tional sentiment, but on belief that in
the transition from the old to the new sys-
tenn the prosperity OF the Church without
temporal sovereignty would te best pro-
noted by an able ecclesiastic who has large
experience in administering Church affairs

readily into harmony with its requirements.
