1t appears that the reactionary element in
the French Senate is disposed to show its
teeth even though it cannot bite and to give
other impotent and ridiculous evidences Of
it's chagrin over the patriotic and polite
course pursued by the Duke d'Audiffret-
Pasquier when in the recent crisis he dis
suaded MacNIahon from second appeal to
the Senate for the dissolution of the Cham
Der of Deputies. Many of the moss-covered
old gentlemen whom the partially of a
good-natured world has lifted into their con-
spicuous Senatorial seats were disappointed
at the loss of an opportunity to ar
rest the republican whirlwind with
the straws Of their. opposition, and
they are eager consequently to vent
their spleen upon the man whom they hold
responsible. 1t is an i'll wind that blows
no one any good, and it is hoped by the
friends of NJ. Buffet that this breeze of ma
levolence may prove the rule by blowing
him into the Presidency of the Senate; but
it is very doubtful if his time has come.
This little fancy Of the great things to
be done by Senatorial resentments will
melt away and disappear when people
begin to count the votes. Moreover,
the Senatorial hatred of republican
principles will grow small by degrees and
beautifully less as it comes to be UNDER
stood that in the new municipal councils
there are considerable republican gains--a
fact which points to the inevitable day when
TO be elected to the Senate from the depart-
ments it will be necessary to be q republic
can. That Major Labordere is to be re-
stored to his position in the army, and that
the propriety of cashiering General Ducrot
is considered, indicates that the Minister of
War has been compelled to modify his con-
ceptions as to what sort of conduct is dis
creditable in an officer.

handle fashion-all on one side. The run
ming OF night trains ought not to be depend
ent on the profit the company can make out
OF them. They should be run for the ac-
commodation of those whose necessities re-
quire them, even though they do not all
run with full loads. The convenience of
the people is deserving of some considera-
ton. The rapid transit companies have
been granted very valuable franchises, and
the HERALD has greatly assisted them in Sc
curing these special rights and privileges
1t is not proper that the profits of the COM
panies should alone be considered in the
arrangements for the operation of the lines.
Night trains are just as much required
for the public accommodation as day
trains. The rapid transit companies should
be required to supply them just as much
as they are required to supply day trains.
The completion of rapid transit may not
drive the horse cars wholly from the street
railroads, but it will certainly cause them
to be less regularly and less frequently run.
1t is therefore absolutely necessary that the
rapid transit lines should be required by
law to afford sufficient accommodation to
the travelling public both by day and by
night. The present direction of the New
York Elevated road may be as liberal as
Mr.. Field says, but they may be at some
time succeeded by another board with less
generous impulses. Besides, Mr.. Fields in
dication that the accommodation of the pub
lie will be made to depend on the interests
of the company is not satisfactory outgiv-
ing. We should have law requiring all
the rapid transit roads to run trains at least
every fifteen or twenty minutes during the
whole night time, without regard to the
question Of the number of passengers they
will secure.

have the success Of the enterprise greatly ut
heart, in relation to the accommodation Of
passengers with separated seats and the
running of night trains. In reply to q
direct question put to him by HERALD re-
porter, whether it was intended to run night
trains on the Third avenue line, Mr.. Field
replied theoretically, 'Oh, just give us the
passengers to carry and there will be no
trouble about cars either day or night. 1t
would be suicidal policy on the part
of the company to reject any portion
of the vast traffic which will offer
itself on that immense line" Now

Police Management In Public As
semblics.

When people pay for seats in a public
formance, else they would not 60. When
others crowd in front and obstruct the view
the police are naturally looked to as the
ones to get them back to their places and
to preserve order. Recently these pre-
servers of order undertook to entertain the
public in the largest hall in our city. All
expected security, comfort and enjoy
ment, paid their money willingly, and, with
such guardians and SO commodious house,
looked for anything but crowding or incon-
venience They found instead that ten
thousand people must pass through one
little door; that to supply them with tickets
there was just one man and one window
eighteen inches square. The consequence,
as all might foresee, was crowding almost
to sufocation and rare chance for pick
pockets. In the great Hippodrome instead
of every man in his seat, clear track and
clear arena, they found seats deserted, track
and arena overrun and three-quarters
of the vast assembly cut off from seeing
many of the events at all. A year ago we
urged that the bodies Of many of our
police were clumsy, hulking affairs, wholly
unfit for sharp or desperate service, such as
they must frequently, in encountering the
vicious classes, be called upon to face. But
did not the disorder and confusion of Mon
day night show that better brains and a
better use of them would at least do no
harm? Policemen were there by the hun
dred. Captain Williams and many others
holding important posts were among them.
Twenty men under one with a reasonably
good head and determination to bring the
people in comfortably and put them in their
seats could have readily kept the arena clear
and given performers and spectators alike
IN equal chance. We commend the lessons
of that evening to His Honor the Mayor and
to the Police Commissioners.

properly, and who may have young children
ielt to their care. But when the wife who
has faithfully performed all her duties
passes away first and n cunning aspiring
woman has inveigled the surviving rich
husband into new marriage from which in
the course of nature his death must shortly
release her, the equity of a widows dover is
not SO apparent. But as the law equally
gives it to her the law ought also to protect
the proper heirs against surprise by requir-
ing the publication Of banns and enabling
them to bring his mental competency to
form such contract to judicial test before
all parties become involved in unpleasant
complications. Even if his faculties
are unimpaired his children should
have an opportunity to dissuade him
from a ridiculous match, if they
can, precisely as the parents Of very
young people should be afforded similar
opportunity. A power of absolute restraint
would be unadvisable except in cases OF
established lunacy or imbecility. but o
chance Of making representations and re-
monstrances ought not to be withheld.
Even during the period which intervenes
between Juvenile and senile indiscretion
the publication of banns would be useful.
1t would prevent many weak women from
being entrapped into foolish or ruinous
marriages. The fact that it is required by
law in most civilized communities shows
how consonant it is to prudence and COM
mon sense. But in the State of New York
the first knowledge and only proof of a mar
riage often consists in the fact that man
has cohabited with woman and introduced
her to somebody or other as his wife. This
worse than heathenish state of the law ought
to be rectifed

Lost Record q.

An excise case has been before the courts
in which party accused of selling
liquor without license produced one
which had been signed by the clerk of the
Excise Board only and not by the Commits
sioners. This was, of course, illegal. The
clerk was subpenaed as witness and testi-
fed that the record book from which the
defendants license had been granted
was lost and no trace of it could be dis
covered. The fact was elected that other
licenses thus incomplete and irregular
had been issued from the missing
book. The unfortunate liquor dealer was
held in one thousand dollars bail, and thus
made to suffer for the illegal act of the Ex-
else Board. Truly, this Excise Department

The WEATHER.-Thc centre of the great area
OF high pressure has moved toward New
Brunswick. The decrease of pressure is most
rapid westward over the lake region, where
hight SHOWS have very generally fallen. South
ward along the Atlantic coast line the pressure
falls very gradually, and the Gulf and South
Atlantic States continue to be embraced by the
isobar of mean pressure which yet passes
well southwark into the Gulf Of Mexico In the
West the high barometer extends over the
Lower Mississippi Valley and the Indian Terri
tory toward New Mexico; but northward of the
Platte Valley and westward of a line which
excludes the upper lakes the barometer is below
the mean and falling decidedly The centre of
the depression is now in Montana, but is adj
vnncing steadily toward the upper lakes. From
present indications it does not look If the
:entre Of low barometer would descend into
he Missouri and Mississippi valleys, but
move over the upper lakes into Canada.
The resistance offered by the enormous
area Of high pressure in advance of
the depression can only be removed by
rapid northeastward drift of the area of highest
pressure, in which event the depression would
move into the Ohio Valley and slowly advance
northeastward over the lower lakes. Rains have
fallen on the Gulf coast with brisk casterly
winds, but the decrease of pressure is not very
decided as yet. The low temperature attending
the high barometer extends over nearly all the
territory east of the Mississippi, but is followed
by nm area of relatively high temperature at
tending the depression in the West. Southerly
winds generally prevail except on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts and Immediately east OF the
Rocky Mountains in Wyoming and Montana.
The weather in New York and its vicinity today
will be warmer and cloudy, or partly cloudy,
With threatening of snow. Tomorrow 1t will DC
eloudy and warmer, possibly with snow.
