A Gond Policy.

1t is rumored that the Metropolitan Ele-
waited Railroad contemplates consolida-
ton with the old New York and Boston,
now known as the New York City and
Northern Railroad Company, which is to
complete It's road through Westchester and
Putnam counties with double track from
Kingsbridge. The report arose from the
fact of mortgage having recently been
given by the latter company, and al
though one of the mortgages denies
any knowledge Of an immediate con-
nection with the rapid transit road, the
policy would be SO evidently advantageous
to both companies and to the public that it
is no doubt contemplated and ought to be
Carried out. Westchester and Putnam
counties will soon be simply the outskirts
OF New York, where the residences of
wealthy citizens will mainly be located,
and the public benefit Of rapid transit will
be great in proportion as it affords facili-
ties for reaching the territory beyond the
citys northern limit. The extension Of the
elevated road through Westchester and into
Putnam county will open up beautiful
country to our now overcrowded popula.
ton Mt n less distance from the business
centres in point of time than the Central
Park was before the elevated roads were
constructed. This will give the city the
relief it needs and will, moreover, by largely
increasing the valuations of real estate for
taxation, lessen the rate of tax for each in
dividual. This, in short will be the real
rapid transit desired by the people and
required for the growth and prosperity Of
the city.

s,ipsho od Railway Manaxement.

On Western railroad tipsy straggler
detached locomotive from the train before
which it stood, started it at high speed
we're equally torn to pieces by the newt
able jump from the rails at o curve But
suppose it had occurred to him not to de-
tach the locomotive and to run away with
the train just MS it stood while engineer and
fireman and brnkemen were away swallow
ing their hasty dinner. All the passengers
do not leave train that stops for dinner,
and he must have taken many with him.
There might have been some one in the
train TO discover how the case stood and to
90 out and overcome the tipsy driver be-
fore the accident happened; but it is moro
probable that he would have made a
fearful tragedy of what now seems a
mere wild whim fatal only to himself.
Perhaps q little reflection on the possibil-
tiles Of an occurrence like this may teach
the persons in charge of railway stations
the necessity of some vigilance in regard to
the safety OF trains even while they are
waiting at stations Some governments in
Europe are nOW Stuuyiub HoW
many railway accidents arc due TO the de-
fective eyesight of the men whose duty it is
to signal trains or to stop them for signals
of danger. 1t is topic worthy certainly
all the attention it receives. As safety and
danger are indicated by the color of signals
| it follows that man afflicted with color
blindness would be just as likely to
90 ahead when Egnalied to stop
through mere defect OF knowledge
that there was danger. But man
with color blindness is SO apt to find
1t out before he becomes an engineer that
the danger is remote. Yet this remote
source of danger is very assiduously
studied by governments that are not popu-
Lar governments and yet seem to regard II
ss IN important part Of their duty to care
for and protect the lives Of the people.
What would be thought in countries like
that of system SO free and easy that 0
locomotive left with its train on the rails
could be run away with by any strnggler?

Is New York bound Z. Psy.

The Board of Apportionment refuses to
direct the issue of any more bonds for the
Brooklyn Bridge until the question as to
the constitutionality and Interpretation OF
the law of 1875, requiring the city of New
York to raise and pay over to the bridge
trustees one-third of the sum Of eight mill
ion dollars, shall have been decided in the
courts. The Corporation Counsel has given
an opinion that the law is constitutional,
clearly for city purposes; that the amount
of eight million dollars for which it calls,
of which Brooklyn is to raise two-thirds
and New York one-third. does not include
expenditures prior to the passage OF the
act, and that it il the duty of the Comp
troller of New York to issue the bonds
and pay over the money to the amount
Of 81, 666, ,666 &c on the requisition OF the
Bridge trustees, the law being Imperative.
The Board of Apportionment, nevertheless,
considers the matter of sufficient importance
to warrant it in refusing to be guided by
the Corporation Counseps opinion and in
insisting on Judicial decision before any
consequence is that work on the bridge has
ceased, six or seven hundred workmen are
thrown ont of employment, and the city is
likely to become involved in o long litiga-
ton.
Opinions differ widely as to the wisdom
of the undertaking but it is now too late
to argue whether New York ought or ought
not to have embarked in the construction
Of the bridge. The two practical questions
are, first, whether New York is bound to
pay it's quota Of the eight million
dollars called for by the law of
1875, and next whether it would
be wise to refuse to do SO even if there
should be defect in the law by which pay
ment may be evaded. The sum of nine
million dollars has been already sunk in
the work and in the purchase OF property
for the approaches to the bridge. This rep
resents at six per cent an interest of five
hundfraed hnSdfrae 4 and forty thousand dollars yearly,
or nearly fifteen hundred dollars day.
It ttlis.anticipated that the revenues Of the
brids &c will more than pay the interest OH
the whole cost If it would not be good
economy to throw away what has already
been invested and to abandon the work it
certainly must be desirable to complete it
and secure its revenues as speedily
as possible. Besides, If New York
is legally bound to pay the money
there will be no disposition to
quibble about the matter We suggest,
therefore, that friendly case be forthwith
made, involving as little expense as pos
sible, taken to the courts and promptly
decided. AS the cost Of litigation must
fall in some shape or other on the public,
and as everybody, in interest must desire a
speedy settlement of the Question involved.
We do not see how any objection can be
made to this proposition.

Burgl.ry as y Fine Art.

Why should there be SO much surprise
manifested ut the fine house and elegant
surroundings in which the just captured
Brooklyn burglars lived? II the propensity
to steal tended to debase the tastes of
thieves society would soon lose some Of its
brightest ornaments. When q man pro-
poses to steal railroad or the contents of a
savings bank he first pradently establishes
himself in q handsome house in IN
elegant neighborhood, and there is no
reason why those who operate only upon
isolated safes should not do likewise to the
best of their ability. 1t disarms suspicion,
for there is an insane idea abroad that
stealing is only done by the poor and des-
perate. The only trouble with the Brook
lyn cracksmen was that they we're too mod
est They should have set up a fine car
riage, purchased pictures, given parties, en-
tertained Congressman and subscribed
freely to benevolent purposes. Above all
things they should have owned and occu-
pied q pew in fashionable church, for
there is nothing like religious professions
to blind o credulous public to the doubtful
morality of the ways by which man earns
his money. Had they dome all this thar would

The Removal OF the sious

As the public is most interested only in
what is most talked about it is likely to be
almost ignorant of the fact that very i'm
portant transaction in Indian affairs has
just been concluded. The government and
the Sioux have agreed upon q transfer Of
the great nation Of the Northwest to what
promises to be permanent home and one
where the Indians may reform themselves
without much fear of annoyance from the
. whites. 1t is so natural to estimate
the size of a body Of Indians by that
of the military force which fights or
watches it that most people will be sur
prised to know that the Sioux nation num-
bers about fifteen Thousand of men, women
and children, and that at least half of this
number is able to fight. What they can do
when aroused was sadly learned by the
borderers in 1862 should they take the
warpath now five thousand soldiers would
be none too many to operate successfully
against them. Like all our other Indian
wards, they have been swinded, robbed
and insulted in almost every possible way
until their grievances have accumulated to .
degree that would rouse any body ofwhites to
war even to the point of annihilation; yet
to-day their principal desire is to be let
alone and become civilized. They intend
to raise cattle, plant farms and live upon
what the whites can be KEEP. from stealing
from them. Such victory is worth more,
and hundred times cheaper, than any
that could be gained by force of arms, but
in dis, ributing the credit for it large
share should be given to the Indians them
selves and their leading statesman, old Red
Cloud, for they have exhibited degree OF
patience, forbearance. seli-control md hon
orable ambition which should forever set at
rest the disgraceful but almost universal
sentiment that Indians are tit only to be
killed.

by the government So long as 1T Is strictly
redeemable at all times on demand in gold.
and is not made a forced legal tender,
SO long it has several desirable features,
and these are SO clearly seen that they have
frequently been urged in other countries
besides our own. But the universal expe-
rience shows that all the advantages
are far more than counterbalanced
by the one fact that if the govern
ment is allowed to issue the paper money
of the country and to make it legal tender
the amount to be issued will be the topic Of
a never-ceasing dispute in Congress and
the one quality of stability, which is mex
orably required by the interests of all pro-
ducers, will never be secured. For it does
not matter whether Congress actually in
oreases or diminishes the amount Of the
currency the mere discussion Of the ques-
tion shocks confidence, checks produc-
tion, stops new enterprises and sets at
work at once every cause Of industrial
prostration and s'hard times" This Senator
Thurman ought to have explained to the
farmers and workingmen he addressed.
But he has now committed himself TO the
Ohio platform to policy of irredeemable
legal tenders, which means policy which
can benefit only spectators, and which, if
it were carried, would only perpetuate the
dreary industrial and financial depression.
In the interest of farmers, workingmen aud
producers everywhere we must say We pre-
fer such democrats as Senator Bayard and
Governor Seymour to such democrats as
Senator Thurman.

Tho Liberals I'm Englamd.

One of the reasons for the nearly complete
breakdown of the liberal party in England
is that the great liberals are disinclined to
generally through the possession of earnest
convictions on subjects of public impor-
tance ; they supported the party whose pol
icy was in accordance with their conscien-
tious views of the right, and their support
gave it the vigor, the bold spirit and the
elevation of purpose that commanded great
and intelligent popular approval But
men who support party out of conscien-
tious considerations are an uncertain de-
pendence for merely party schemes, since
they will apply to these also the same rigor-
GUS test of conscience. They will not sup
port measures that it is merely "expedient"
party should take up, and they COM
monty repudiate all party attempts to con-
troll their individual actions and utterances
In that spirit Gladstone declined to be even
the leader in his party, and many others
have acted with him and Mr.. Fors. or
refuses nomination because it is associ-
ated with condition that looks to the ap-
plication of party pressure in the control Of
the individual opinions Of representatives.
There is no doubt that the caucus system is
bad enough. BY parties society is SO di-
vided that but little more than one-half
makes laws for all. BY the caucus
system the dominant party is divided
SO that little more than half of that deter
mines the party action. Half of party,
which itself comprises perhaps half the
voters really makes the law. One-quarter
dominates all in governments founded on
the will Of the majority. But the repudia-
ton of the caucus leads to party disin-
tegration and helplessness and paralyzes
now the great liberal party in England,
which. as it is going on at present. will
leave the country entirely to the tories till
their abuse Of power shall make an issue on
which moral revolution can be based.
That issue may arise out of the Ministerial
contempt Of the authority of Parliament.
