Just the King Pin.

At last we have king to offer to the Bull
garians whose advancement to the throne
will be advantageous to all parties con-
cerned. Let the crown be placed on the
head Of George NJ Robson, late Secretary
of the United States Navy. He will not
discredit the name OF o King George, of
any country or of any reign. The BuIga-
rians have an army and can fight on land.
Their need, if they desire to become q
great people, is navy. Robson will
build ships for them without limit and at
any amount of expense. If they have oc-
casion to sell new or old ships he will dis
pose of them at an extraordinarily low
figure. King George will soon give them
the strongest navy on the Black Sea if they
can raise enough money to warrant it, and
every Bulgarian will have contract. The
ex-Secretary will not object to leaving the
United States at this time. Indeed, he
may be somewhat anxious for q speedy de-
parture, if there be no obstacle in the way
Of his immediate coronation.

Send Him to Congress.

Canadian genius is reported to have
discovered method of refining petroleum,
not only without the use of heat. but in
such manner that the naphtha, benzine and
gasoline, which must now be expelled be-
fore the oil can bear safety tests, are re-
tanned in such combination to as to be HARM
less and useful. As in all scientific dis
coveries the demonstration of principle
emphasizes the possibility Of the application
of the same to all bodies of nature like unto
that experimental upon, this Canadian dis
covery proves that the method employed is
applicable to all other indammable ma
terial consequently, the inventor should
be Immediately coaxed into the United States
and run for Congress, which is the most
dangerously infiammable body on the com
tlnent. The idea of making our national
Legislature useful without heating it to a
high tempenture, and of making it's volatile
and explosive elements not only harmless
but useful and harmonious with the portion
naturally trustworthy, is the most consoling
one that has ever dawned upon our polit-
ical horizon. Better yet, tho petroleum dis
covery promises to secure yearly saving
of hundred and twenty million dollars
Ii SO much can be saved upon a cheap, rank
natural production, where would our ma
tional debt be within n year if the in
ventors principle were applied to such Sc
lect and expensive material as Congress?

Horse Car Dimculties.

The strike of the drivers on the Third
and more than three hundred men are now
voluntarily out of employment. AS to the
allegations Of bad faith made against the
company and a betrayal of its promise it
would be unfair to give opinions in the alb
sence Of any but one side Of the story.
Drivers were promised, it appears, at one
time that if they would return to their en-
ployment and abandon strike they would
not in future be molested on account of
their conduct or on account of their mem
bership Of protective union. They are
now discharged on account OF that member
ship as they assume, and they naturally
charge that this is bad faith. Perhaps il is.
But horse car companies are not famous
for good faith in the best Of circum-
stances. 1t seems, indeed, a trihe
ridiculous that anybody should expect
any other sort of faith from these
corporations, or that any one should be
astonished at the violation OF pledge made
to few hundred drivers by corporations
that have accumulated enormous wealth
through the systematic violation for years
of the pledges made to the whole people in
the Capitol at Albany. In the particular
instance before us, however, there is good
word to be said for the company. Nobody
has any great respect for pledges extorted
from people with knife at their throat |;
and if there were public opinion even
vigorously inclined to hold men to their
promises we doubt if it would exact that a
promise given where the will could not be
said to be free was to be devoutly kept.
The managers Of that car property made the
pledge required because they were under
obligation to do their best for the inter-
est Of the property, and they have
violated it in their turn. Drivers
themselves constantly violate pledges
worthy more respect even if implied rather
than declared. In their days of need and
distress they are very glad to get these sit
uations, and they take them under the i'm
piled intention to serve the company fairly.
Once warm in their places they agree among
themselves that they will suddenly take an
action that will greatly damage the property
unless the managers increase their wages or
employ some discharged person. That is
their kind Of bad faith. It is misfortune
that SO many men should suddenly be put
out of employment as the cold weather
comes on, but other men, more in want,
perhaps, will get the places, and those who
live by their daily labor must learn the
hard lesson Of thinking of the needs at
home before they push their quarrels with
their employers to extremes beyond which
the spirit Of compromise is defed.

Examining the County Omces.

The members Of the Bar Association who
are seeking to obtain ON order from Judge
Davis, in Supreme Court, Chambers, en-
powering them to inspect the books in the
County Clerks Office, need scarcely have
put themselves to the trouble Of the appli-
cation if the County Clerks statement is
true. The charter provides that "all
books, accounts and papers in any depart
ment or bureau, except the Police Depart
mont, shall at oil times be open to the in
spection of any taxpayer, subject to any
reasonable rules and regulations in regard
to the time and manner of such inspection
as such department, bureau or officer may
make in regard to the same in order to
secure the safety of such books.
accounts and papers, and the proper
use of them by the department,
bureau or officer" The application of the
Bar Associations committee for permission
to examine the books in question seems TO
have been made in tho busy hours of the
day. The County Clerk declares his will
ingness to give the committee free access to
all the books and papers of the Office when
they are not in actual use. This is all the
committee has right to ask, and Of course
tho Judge before whom the application is
made will not order an inspection at any
other time. The appeal to tho Court, there
fore, seems to have been unnecessary, and
if it was designed to have an injurious effect
on the officer it is not a creditable proceed
ing. The investigation into the alleged
illegal practices in the county offices should
be thorough, but if it is to be productive OF
good it must be impartial and free from po-
litical motives. No county officer has O
right to collect illegal fees, and If the prac-
tice has prevailed up to the present time Il
SHOULD at once be discontinued. But the
reform must be undertaken in the public
interest and not in the interest Of politicians.

Secretary Robesom.

In eight years of peace one hundred and
eighty million dollars were spent on the
United States Navy by that illustrious tar
Secretary Robeson. For nation which has
no navy that is pretty steep. Over twenty
two million dollars year Of the peoples
money were handed over to keep up de-
partment whose ships, if we accept them at
the value put upon them by Secretary Robe
son-the value he put on them when he had
some for sale-would not have fioated the
whole sum if it had been paid out in the
dollars Of the daddies. Thirty-one ships
of the navy supported at this expense
thirty-one ships which had cost the govern
ment nearly fourteen millions of dollars -
were sold for trife over half million.
In that connection committee of Congress
which has inquired into the subject quotes
the suggestive words OF the statute as
to any ''person who steals or embezzles or
knowingly applies to his own use, or who
unlawfully sells, conveys or disposes Of
any ordnance, arms, ammunition, clothing,
subsistence stores, money or other property
Of the United States furnished or to be
used for the military or naval service shall
be for such offences" dealt with under the
criminal laws. But the present suggestion
is that the ex-Secretary shall be given an
opportunity to defend his expenditures in
the methods provided under proceedings
for impeachment. 1t appears that the re-
publican minority of the committee are OPP
posed to the stcp-which seems to us some
what maladroit on their part. If for
mer Secretary of the Navy was guilty Of
misconduct in Office all good citizens. with
out respect to party. should be equally anx-
ious to see him disgraced by exposure but
if he was not guilty the men Of his own
party should be particularly anxious to
have that shown, that even the shadow Of
opprobrium might not fall upon them
through man for whose official career they
were responsible.

Rapid Transit to the Grand Central
DepOt,

Rapid Transit TO the Grand Central
For the short distance between the Third
Avenue Elevated Railroad and the, Grand
Central Depot it is unnecessary to compli-
cate tire plans Of rapid transit by running
special two-car trains from the Battery ter
minus. On the structure erected for the
Forty-second street branch an arrangement
of movable sectional platforms can be
placed and operated with drums and cables
by.a stationary engine at the end Of the
branch. Passengers for the Grand Gen.
tral depot can get off through
train at the Forty second street sta
ton and go up to the depot on the mov-
ing platform without being put to any
more trouble than is now experienced in
going there in the cars. Stated trains,
designated by lamps or flags, can convey
passengers to the Forty-second street
branch. and these trains can be
switched on for the purpose to
the down track next to. the movable
platform SO as to deposit the passengers on
it. Automatic switches will close the down
track to south bound trains and send them
to the opposite, or east track, while the
west track is0ccupied by o north bound
train leaving passengers at Forty-second
street. There will be no more difficulty or
danger in this arrangement than in that
now governing the switching of special
trains to the branch, and tho through traffic
With com plete trims will bo unintor
rupted. Every other train can also carry
an additional car and thus tho accommoda-
ton for passengers going up town will be
increased over sixteen per cent. To remedy
the dangerous evil of crowded cars the rail-
road com pany ought to consider the prac-
ticability of our suggestion. We feel satis-
fed that it would improve the carrying ca
pacity of the road without increasing the
number Of trains.

The Modern Robin Hood.

II anything was needed to prove the bold
ness and desperation of our criminal classes
the scenes enacted yesterday in the neigh
borhood Of Jefferson Market Prison sup
ply evidence of the most thrilling and
dramatic character. s.Red" Leary, man
we'll known as lawbreaker, is arrested and
handed over to q detective to be conveyed
into the State where his crime was commit
ted, and in open daylight gang Of desper-
ate men attempt to rescue their comrade
or leader from the clutch Of the law. The
account we print to-day of this bold pro-
ceeding reads more like scene on the
Western border than one happening
in great city which supports nearly
three thousand uniformed policemen.
Yet in one Of our most frequented thorough
fares gangs of suspicious men ore permitted
to assemble and loiter near the door Of o
police court, with evident intention to take
the law into their own hands. police
captain sees his prisoner released for want
of evidence on one charge, and, on finding
him in custody on rcquisition from another
State, asks the detective if he wants any
help" adding, "you may have trouble, for
there's a pretty tough gang outside" On
the detective expressing his confidence to
hold on to his prisoner the police captain
disappears and leaves ''the tough gang un-
disturbed. A struggle between the SherifTs
officers and the desperadoes ensues and the
former only hold their prisoner after draw
ing revolvers on their assailants. Then
the police come to the deputy sheriff s
support and escort the prisoner in
carriages, all Of which are driven at q
rapid, reckless rate through the streets to
the County Jail. Beyond the arrest of one
of the ''rescuers," no effort was apparently
made to seize 'the tough gang" though it
is evident that the members were tolerably
well known to the sworn officers of the law.
These facts are very suggestive and show
clearly how incompetent arc many Of the
men holding high commands in the police
force of New York. well known and
hardened criminal almost escapes through
the palpable negligence Of police captain,
being only held in custody by display of
courage on the part Of the detective and the
deputy sheriff, which our police would do
well to initiate. Then, and only then, the
Inspector commanding the district comes
forward to do what his subordi-
nate neglected in the first place,
but he also refrains from arresting
any of the desperate men who had SO boldly
set the law in defiance. Are these gangs OF
criminals to be permitted to hold posses
sion of our streets and compel the police to
resort to strategy to retain possession of one
Of their number who has been detected in
his crime? If 80, the sooner this disgrace
full state Of affairs is changed the better it
will be for the safety of life and property in
this city. 1t will not do to allow "Red'
Leary's comrades to initiate the followers Of
Robin Hood, else where is the need of our
| three thousand knights of the baton?
