Case or the Board or Health.

Some Of tho writer's Of classical hifalutin
have spoken Of law as ''the perfection Of
reason" from which we must be at liberty
to suppose that the argument Of the coun-
sci for the Board Of Health on the motion
to quash the indictment against that body
is not law. It is certainly not the per-
lection of reason, nor within gunshot
Of it-even in these days of long range.
1t is argued that the members
of the Board should not be indicted for
failure TO abate nuisance because the
law did not make that their imperative
duty; and if it did make that their imper-
alive duty it did not give them the nee
essary power; and if II did give them
the necessary power it. did not supply
them with funds. Thus the commander OF
the trignte gave to the Admiralty thirteen
good and excellent reasons why he had not
saluted the King, the thirteenth reason being
that he had no powder. Without money
what can be done in the, government OF
this city? That is the pc int to which the
counsel endeayors to reduce the argument.
But it happens that this argument has as
little to do with the CAS- es on which the
Board is indicted rs Rom illus and Remus
had to do with the. laws of Wis
consln. If it require. peculiar author
ity to aba.e these nuisances, and
the powers OF the Board We're made
quate, the evidence .ths.t they had done
what was in their powei-ind exhausted their
inadequate authority would have been
good defence, and thesstate of tbs law, not
its officers, would them have been to blame
for the result. But the Board had actually
authorized these nuisunces. Without its
regularly executed permission these indus
tries could nots be carried, on. Now, had
not the Board underthe law;power or money
enough to enable Tito refuse the permission
that authorized men 10 create nuisance?

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

It is not often that in q crowded and
changing city like this we have to chronicle,
as we do to-day in the case Of DR.. Armi-
tage the continuous passionate OF any minis
ter of the Gospel thirty years in one church.
Tho occasion will be suitably remembered
by pastor and people. The temperance
workers will hold four meetings to-day
one in the evening to bring the sub
iect Of the Home for Incorporate Men
to public notice. Among the hpecu-
lative themes to be discussed to-day is
the residence Of the soul between death
and the resurrection, by Mr.. Searles, on
which popular comment has been turned for
q few weeks past and the cure Of crimes in
their germ, which DIR. King will suggest.
That the old Bible is better than the new
Sp:ritualism perhaps not many in our
midst doubt and yet, for the benefit
OF the few, DR.. Deems will restate
and prove the proposition to-day. Bum
vans "Delectable Mountains" will do their
part in the entertainment and instruction
Of his people by MIR. Hull. For the rest
Daniel in the lions den will furnish DR..
Crook his theme; and the prophets vision
of the four beasts and the Ancient Of Days
will give Mr.. Moment food for reflection.
Mr. Ccrbit will entertain his hearers with
n recital of the siege and capture of Jericho.
Mr. Lloyd will follow the Israelites (fgura-
tively) through the sea, dry shod; Mr..
Jack will discuss providence, and Mr.. Rowell
will tell his people how to keep their hearts
Faith will lend wings to Mr.. Martyrs
words, while tho religion of love, which
ought to he everyday religion, commands
Mr.. Hcpworth's thought and attention, and
the enrichment Of human lif, by sympathy
will be shown by Mr. Algci.

The humane Mr.. Bergh, taking pity on
horses tails, recently procured the indlct-
me mt of James Frazer, the excellent trainer
'of the Polo Club, for the crime OF shorten

La singular plea from Frazer's coun-
/ sci. This plea was neither more nor
less than that the Court was not q court at
sall, inasmuch as the Judge Sutherland who
ssat on the bench was not a judge within
the intent and requirement OF the Stale
constitution. That instrument, provides
that mo person shall hold the office OF
.justice or judge OF any court longer than
until and including the last day Of Decem-
Der next alter he shall be seventy years OF
age" The plea Of the counsel to Judge
Sutlserland's jurisdiction set forth that the
Judg, became seventy years OF age more than
Lyekr ago, and by the above provision OF the
constitution did absolutely cease on last
hence was without power to try the case.
The Judge refused to receive the plea and
ordered it to be returned to the counsel !;
! but whether he recognized the validity OF
athe constitutional prohibition or regarded
lit Us improper that he should himself de-
/ eide on his own qualification for the posi-
ton he fills does not appear. The reason
for this provision Of the constitution is
that at seventy years of age the average judi
cial officer will. it is feared, be lacking
in the physical or mental capacity, both OF
which are requisite in judge. This may
be, true as arule, but there have been
marked exceptions to it, as In the case Of
the late Judge Allen, and, indeed, in the
case of Judge Sutherland himself, whose
mind and health are yet sound and vigor-
Gus. Still. the constitution admits OF no ex-
ceptions, and the plea raised will, we pre-
sumo, necessarily have to be met.

Catholics and Socialists in Germany.
Apparently it is not doubted in Germany
that the Reichstng will be Immediately dis
solved, as the dispatches announce the
probable date of the general elections for
the choice Of new representatives. An
election held at time when the country is
fully under the influence OF the alarm and
indignation excited by the recent attempts
against the Emperor's life is likely to prove
unfortunate for the party whose doctrines
and aspirations have infamous relation to
the attem pied crime II the socialists can
hold up their heads ut all in this election,
if they can return any considerable
proportion Of the representatives they
have in the present chamber, this will sup
ply an indication OF the gloomiest nature
for the future peace OF the military system.
But it is far more consonant with what ap-
pears now that the representation will prac-
tically declare that in the presence OF un-
known dangers the country puts itself abso-
lutely in the hands OF the government. All
parties that opposed the demand Of the
government for power to deal summarily
with socialist organizations and journals
will experience the loss of popular favor
and the Catholic party cannot expect to
be altogether exempt from this fate
But it will lose less than other par
ties, because its support is from the
nature Of the case n more constant quantity.
1t is not negative party, whose position is
taken in empty opposition to government.
1t is affirmative, and supports actual insti-
tutions and principles against government
hostility. The institutions and principles
it supports IRE the Same. now as they were
before and if this party might share the
odium due to the fact that the Catholic
votes in the Reichstag were given against
the government on the law for the
repression of socialist agitation that cause for
discrcdit will be removed by the position
that will be taken under the urgent advice
from Rome for the Church and it's adj
herents to declare themselves positively
against the dangerous principles. Under
that instruction or advice such decisive
action will be taken that the Catholic party
will perhaps well nigh lead the country as
the organ of adherence Of the war that the
socialists are making on society. In this
Rcchstag this party will certainly not re-
| peat its great blunder

the public will be inconvenience if such
depots are not provided. It is also very
desirable that the passenger depots be COM
pleted rs speedily as possible, and
that the regulations promised by the
company to prevent the promiscuous
crowding and rushing for trains by four or
five times the number that can be accommo-
dated, be put in operation without delay.
In the present scrambling, as IN the ever
crowding of the cars and platforms, turks
danger to life and limb, and, as we have al
ready said, it would be especially unfortu-
nate if any accident should in the conf
mencement weaken popular confidence in
the road. 1t il moreover very desirable
that the employees Of the company should
from the first be drilled into those cautious
habits essential to the safety OF the passen-
gers intrusted to their care. We offer these
suggestions for the benefit Of the company
as well as Of the public. The HERALD has
been tho earnest friend Of rapid transit, and
it is not too much to claim that the final
success and early completion of the
Metropolitan Elevated Railroad is due
in a great measure to the persistent
advocacy of its cause by this journal
We may, therefore, claim for our sug-
gestions and advice the serious con-
sidcration Of the proprietors and man
ayers of the road We expect to see the
time when tho horse car lines. as thro ugh
routes, will be abandoned and the avenues
free from rails. As cross town lines street
railroads will always be useful. There
ought to be M gre of them. and they should
be run in connection with the elevated
roads, by transfer tickets. at one rate OF
fare. But the main travel Of the city must,
we believe, soon be monopolizea by the
elevated roads, and it is because Of this
belief that we desire to see their manage
ment rs perfect and their accommodations
MS thorough us they can possibly be made.
