Two cases are now on trial in the courts
in which damages are sought to be recovered
from proprietors Of stores for having made
unfounded accusations of theft against re-
spectacle parties. The plaintiffs are both
ladies, and ono Of them was subjected to
the indignity of a search. There does not
in either instance appear to have been any
better ground Of suspicion against the
parties than the imagination of the clerks
who waited upon them. Storekeepers are,
no doubt, losers to considerable amount
by "shopliiting," but this does not warrant
reckless charge of theft against respect
able persons. In one case clerk thought
he put three steel purses on the counter,
and, finding only two, Immediately
and the proprietor insisted on having
her searched. A similar disgraceful
charge might be made against any
lady in the city of New York, whatever
her position in society, and in the case
of females in delicate health or of extreme
sensitiveness the effect of such shock
might be most serious. 1t is we'll, there
fore, that the proprietors OF stores should be
taught that they cannot make disgraceful
charges against innocent and reputable
people on mere suspicion without being
held to severe responsibility. They have
Alright to protect themselves against petty
theft to the best of their ability, but this
does not include the right to brand re-
spectacle lady as thief, and to drag her off
to undergo search, whenever an addle-
pated clerk fancics that ho misses some
article from the counter.

many important cases hitherto. 1t was re-
ported in the HERALD on Thursday that the
Secretary of State will suggest an amend
ment of the law which Will assimilate it to
the English law on the same subject. In
view of our experience with neutral
ity it may fairly be submitted that
Englands example is one that we may
properly follow, at least on this point, and
that our merchants should not be required
to make greater sacrifices for the sake of
good relations with England than England
requires of her own merchants for the sake
of good relations with other States. That
Mr.. Evarts' name is to be found in the
number of those who believe the law of
1918 unwise and impracticable should
silence the silly clamor of those who be-
lieve, or pretend to believe, that the de-
mand for its amendment is in some unde-
Unable manner inspired from Russian
sources.

Prince Gortschakoff's health is reported
to have much improved since the date OF
our ST. Petersburg correspondents letter.
published elsewhere. We suppose the
great Russian statesman would not be
grievously offended if he knew how closely
people speculate on his demise and his sue
cessor; yet, even to man of the world like
him, it could not prove altogether pleasant
These things, however, are not done "by
permission" The Chancellor OF the En-
pire is, in nine cases out of ten, the ruler OF
the Gear, and the hope OF such an office
may well put spurs to ambition. 1t is
curious, therefore, that the eligible candi-
dates shrink to four. One of these is Gorts-
chakoff's present deputy, Jomini a man OF
ability and experience; but it is much the
fashion in Europe to keep valuable assist
ants and masters of detail in the bureaux
while the more favored and often less able
fgureheads take the praise and-the blame.
Among his rivals is Minister described
as a successful courtier; but his really for
midable competitors are Count Schou-
valoff the present Ambassador to England,
and General Ignatieff, the bold and adroit
statesman, whose recent deeds require no
blazon. Our correspondent carefully avoids
giving the preferred chance to any of them,
for the Emperor alone can choose this
officer, who will be at once master and
servant-master in nine cases out of ten
and emperors cannot be questioned. We
do not, however, believe that Alexander II.
is the man to throw this great Office away
on Court puppet, or that he has any
reason for bestowing it upon any but the
most meritorious.

TIL. German Socialists.

The union Of the ultramontane members
Of the German Parliament with the advanced
liberals and liberals in general to defeat the
Anti-Socialist bill, and which, after regis
tering an adverse vote upon the first clause,
forced the withdrawal of the entire bill by
the government, is o curious fact, but one
readily explainable. We can appreciate
the reasons which induced Herr Benning-
sen, the liberal leader. to oppose it
namely, the desire to keep the admins
tration Of the government as clear of
despotic methods as possible. With the
extreme socialists he and his party
have no sympathy; but they think,
and with reason, that the present laws be-
stow ample power for dealing with such
political wild geese. The Emperor, after
his escape from the bullet Of Hodel, said
that the socialist tendencies Of which the
act was demonstration should not be
treated lightly, and this doubtless induced
the Ministers to hurry before the Reichstag
with the panicky bill which they have since
rather ignominiously Withdrawn. We can
well understand that the radicals would OPP
tanes, who are, one would imagine, perma-
nently pledged against any tolerance OF
such topsy-turvy doctrines, the case is
different The famous Falk laws, however,
gave them taste Of what this class OF
special legislation means, and there is
grimly humorous touch of fellow-feeling in
their voting not to have the socialists
roasted on the same spit that rotated be-
meath the weight of priests, bishops and
cardinals, while Prince Bismarck, as he
grimly said of the Parisians, basted them
with their own gravy. Time had brought
them something in the shape of revenge,
and these holy men 1--WE presume they are
holy would first see the government in the
condition that Cummings philanthropist
said he would see the knife-grinder before
he would give him sixpence. But the
socialists need not take any comfort out of
this, for in its present temper the German
government will show them how much can
be done with the laws MS they stand.

The Broadway Building Disaster

The unfortunate victims of the crash on
Broadway yesterday must be said to have
brought their fate upon themselves by
reckless disregard Of the common sense plan
of taking down old buildings. But if the
authorities recognize in ordinary workmen
an unteachablo stupidity with regard TO the
sources of danger that surround them, it is
the duty of the proper officials to insist on
the same degree Of caution being used when
tearing down an old building rs they in the
building regulations demand when new
structure is being erected. Indeed, thor
ough survey of the building about to be de-
molished should be made, and special atten-
ton drawn to certain points of weakness in
the walls and beams A more dangerous
than that Of cutting out the flooring beams
before oil the old walls are taken down 10
their level. In the flimsy structures that
are in some instances dignifed with the
name of dwelling houses it is not uncommon
to see walls run up that are wholly depen-
dent for stability on the stiffness Of the
floors they are supposed to support. This
is the reason why tho shells invariably COL
lapse when the floors get burned out. Tho

men was not SO much the fall Of the
floor on which they stood rs the
topping over Of the old dried-out
brick wall that overhung 1t, without sup
port Of any kind but that created by It's own
weight on sub-structure that was being
disturbed by the removal of the iron girder.
Employers blame workmen for their reck-
less disregard of danger, but we fear that
the risk OF being disemployed for Sinking
work is the influence that stimulates these
men to court disaster. We insist that it is
the duty Of the Department of Buildings or
some police functionary to regulate demoli-
lions as much for the protection of the
workmen engaged rs of the public who are
mcnaced daily by such operations. Our re-
port Of the disaster, published elsewhere,
shows how utterly unsuited were the ar
ranoements for their purposes.

The Grent Paris Ara sale.

We give again to-day full report by
cable of the progress of the sale Of tho cele-
brated Laurent-Richurd collection OF paint
ings, which is now attracting such great ate
tention in the Partisan art world and
which interests lovers OF art the world over.
The real criticism OF on artists pictures is
the price his contemporaries or posterity
will pay for them. The fire Of the cruciblo
of public opinion, evinced in this way, is q
sure, but sometimes cruel test, to which o
painters reputation must be submitted.

among the many, but the solid admiration
evinced by an appreciative few in the de-
sire to compete at good prices for his pic
lures has, Ii anything, greater effect.

Parade OF tho Coaching Club.

The annual spring parade Of the Coach
ing Club this afternoon promises to be tho
finest and most imposing display of tho
kind that has yet taken place. At least
twelve coaches will be in line and as those
that are not entirely new have been changed
and improved since last season they all
will undoubtedly present a very brilliant
appearance The start will take place ut
half-past four o'clock, from Madison avenue
and Twenty third street. The route lies
around Madison square into Fifth avenue,
and up that splendid street to the Central
Park, extending on the west side Us far as
Stetson's The return will be on the east
ern side of the Park, down Fifth avenue to
Washington square, and thence back to Mad
ison avenue. The spring and fall parades of
the club have been for several years two
of the most interesting events of the year
in the fashionable world; while they have
at the Same time proved an irresistible at
traction for thousands of citizens who appre-
ciate good driving and good horses This
year will hardly prov, an exception to the
rule. In fact tho interest in this class Of
amusement is, if possible, greater than ever
before, not only in New York, but in her
sister cities. The drive to Philadelphia
and back few weeks ago was an ovation
from beginning to end, and the manner in
which the gentlemen of the club who partic-
ipated in it acquitted themselves proves
that they can, If necessary, manage as dex-
terously on the rough country roads as in
tho pleasant drives of Central Park New
York is deeply indebted to the gentlemen
OF the Coaching Club. They have added o
new and picturesque feature to our city life,
and in devising pleasure for themselves
have afforded amusement to q large portion
of their fellow citizens.

1t is reported that the Grand Jury have
determined to indict the Health Board and
the Board of Aldermen for misdemeanor in
having wilfully violated the laws and
neglected their official duty. The action Of
the Grand Jury will be heartily approved
by the citizens Of New York. The issue lies
now between an utter disregard and def
ance of law by neglectful, incapable or COR
rupt officials and the safety and conven-
fence of million and a quarter of people.
The abuse of power has grown to be so out
rageous and the insolence of ofice-holders SO
overbearing that the citizens can hope for
no protection outside the criminal courts.
Recorder Hackett's charge was made none
too soon, and it remains to be seen whether
Aldermen and other public servants can
with impunity defy the courts and set
themselves up as superior to the laws.
The duty Of the Board of Health is clearly
defined It's officers are responsible for the
sanitary condition of the city, and their
powers are designedly large, in order that
they may effectually and promptly protect
the public health With the intention that
every occupation likely, from it's nature,
to create public nuisance may be wholly
under the control of the health officers
it is made illegal to follow any bust
ness likely to create offensive and in
furious odors without permit from the
Board. This is done for the purpose of
drawing all such establishments within the
actual and direct knowledge Of the officers
Of the Health Board, so that they may
keep watchful eye upon them and dis
cover Immediately any breach of the sani-
tary code or any offensive smells
dangerous to the public health. The code
designates how such establishments, for
which permits are granted, shall be con-
Quoted. and carefully guards against any Of
them becoming public nuisances. If the
law is observed there can be no offensive
or dangerous odors from any such establish
ments. If they do become nuisances the
immediate duty Of the Board is to close and
prosecute them If the Board has not done
this, but has, on the contrary, allowed these
nuisances to exist until they have destroyed
neighborhoods and swelled the death list
ODOVe ZIG Tutc VI huy OtucI Clty, IucA luc
officers Of the Board have been grossly and
wilfully negligent of their official duties,
and ought to be indicted and removed from
office.
The offence alleged against the Board Of
Aldermen is equally grave. The Aldermen
who have suspiciously persisted in grant
ing valuable privileges in direct violation
of the law, and in defiance of the legal
opinion Of the Corporation Counsel, the
protest of the Commissioner of Public
Works and the veto of the Mayor, deserve
indictment and punishment. Their recent
action in coarsely assailing the Judge who,
in the discharge of his highest duty, called
the attention of the Grand Jury to these al
legged violations of law, only aggravates
their offence. They not only disregard the
statutes, but defy the courts. 1t is about
time to ascertain whether the city is pro-
tee ed by law or is in the hands and at tho
mercy of the sort of men who arc made AL
dermen.
