Superintendent Campbell, of the Brooklyn
police has, without knowing it, given a quiet
and effective rebuke TO our Democratic
authorities The New-York Police Board
consumed good part of the day yesterday
in a dispute over the orders that were to be is
sued to the police respecting the election. Com
missioner Erhardt wished to have orders issued
that would hold officers rigldly responsible for
election frauds which might have been pre-
vented by attention TO duty; but the Demo-
cratic Commissioners opposed the resolution
and defeated it, Then Mr.. Erhardt wished
to have it officially announced that orders
on suggestions from any of the Com
missloncrs to members of the force
that they should Use their influence
for any candidate were to be dsregarded 4;
but the Democratic Commissioners again OBJ
iected, aud the resolution was defeated Then
Mr.. Erhardt endeavOred to elicit a declaration
that orders proceeding from single Commits
sioner, except to call attention to existing
rules, were of no force, and again he
failed Then the Democratic Commits
siOncrs, having virtually decreed that
their instructions TO certain police cap
tains to use their influence In favor of Mr..
Schell should stand, conceded this much that
&c all citizens" should be invited TO report cases
of false registration to the Superintendent,
and that the Superintendent should be
directed to do what the law required.
While all this debate WAS in progress,
Superintendent Campbell over III Brooklyn,
had set our Democratic Commissioners a good
example III a short, sharp Order-that any
policeman exerting himself In behalf of any
candidate should be instantly dismissed. That's
talk of the right sort.

he calls Editorial Experiences If he has had
any such experience of ms own, he must know
that one drawback to its perfect felicity is
the propensity of people to make journalists
do for them what they should do for

Correspondence on another page from an ex-
perienced observer sums up the situation i'll
the Rochester and Syracuse Congressional
Districts. With the incidents of the canvass
in these districts TRIBUNE readers are already
familiar. 1t is reassuring to find that our cor
respondent considers the chances to lie with
the Republican candidate in the Rochester
District, in spite of the complications which
have arisen in Republican diSlflectons and
partial Democratic alliances with the Green
back party. In the Syracuse District
Mr.. HscOck's reelection seems certain,
and his majority will not be small. The
canvass in that district on the part of the
Democracy has been a 1isgraceiul one. The
Democrats adopted the widest and wickcdeSt
theories of the infatiOnists with the imitation
candidate. This candidate is man of suf
ficient business shrewdncss to have ac-
quired large property and OF suf-
ficient ability to have learned some
thing. at least, of the principles Of finance.
He uses his money and his ability to arouse
the worst passions of the poorer classes against
the more prosperous. and the vote of every
decent citizen in his district ought to be cast
against him.

The intention of the Porte to limit the pro-
posed reforms to one Province in Asia Minor
is serious setback to the British
Government, which had just declared
the entire scheme acceptable. In declaring
that it will wait until it has money
on hand to complete the reformation, the
Porte bet,ays again that longing for British
gold, to gain which it would promise any
thing Were the Porte in earnest, it would
find that just laws are not so expensive as 1t
assumes.
Gail Hamilton concludes to-day the striking
series of papers on Civil Service Reform
which for some months have enlivened our Sat
uday's issues. From some things that
she has sad none would dissent more
emphatically than The TRIBUNE, but
she has certainly laid bare with sklful
knife the shams, the cant and the ignorance
which have marked so much of the apOstlcshlp
of Civil Service Reform III this country.
Mr.. Dorman b. Eaton has been particularly
ridiculous in this apostleship, but he has had
many serious competitors. 1t is partly to the
work of such men, and partly to the use of
Civil Service Reform as an excuse for turn
ing out other peoples friends, and putting in
ones own, that the whole cause has been
brought near to shipwreck. Yet in spite of
all this. and perhaps in part because of it,
we believe the Civil Service of the country is
to-day better than it has been ut
any time since the war. If now we can
only get q faithful adherence to the
principles to which the Republican party is
faithfully pledeed-no appointment save for
meIlt and secure tenure in Office during fixed
term save for clear cause.-the country will
have no reason to regret the discussion.

Mike and Mandy, too, soon
found a new home in the neat cabin

with health and vigor. Misery

but worked successfully, and as the
years went by and Mike came
to be known as the man

THE LAST PINE.

Where the fallow-colored hill
just against cloudy wreath
Gray the sky, the ground beneath
White with shreds from winters quill
Holds pine of giant girth
All alone a patient grim,
In the CHASTITY cold, the dim
sifted light that wraps the earth
Like a soldier strictly charged,
Never from his watch to yield;
Long ago was hushed the field,
All his comrades long dischargedi
Solid hangs the icy tear,
Numb his arm with creeping frost,
And his senses four are lost
In bitter strife to hear;
Yet unmoved he keepeth post,
Dim OF sight but list'ning still,
Lest across the lonely hill
Cali the bugles of the host.
Once upon a silent day
Heaved the tree such breaths profound,
Air was cardod into sounds;
Thus the pine was heard to says
"one by one,
Though they lowered high and wide,
Sank my brothers by my side;
Fell away my friends of youth
Dea of them had never ruth.
One by one
Dropped my wa ming arms of green,
Till stand of branches lean;
Straight the woodpecSer may shoot
From my crown to knotted root
All is Gone
81 am past,
Once dwelt with fellows dear,
Once felt the green sod near;
4. Year by year
In the choir of our wood
Crashed a singer where he STOOD
And the boughs that rained forever,
Lowest first, than upward ever,
On his bier,
Me with their wide loss did sever
still the more from things love
Into this drear air above.
II might last.
Happy if my shadow cast
One deep roof OF solid cool
On a wise man, on fool,
On the lowest shape that passed;
If the SUI, like this harsh air,
fingered in my scattered hair;
But no grace from me descends
While drag TO useless ends
Life at last"

THE GOLDEN RULE AT MISERY
FLAT.

FLAT.
"Do, Lewizy, get down off tina
stool, and quit rummaging in thai
burey drawer"
Lowry, from her perch on the
stool, only turned her sloe-black
eyes toward the cot whereon lay
the invalid whose family querulous
tones arrested her attention, and
answered:
"Pears like you're crosser'n
usual, Mandy. amt a-rummag-
ing /; I'm huntin' for piece of that
striped ticlHin' to set a patch in
Mikes overalls."
"Well, do get down and shut
that drawer" PERSISTED the sick
woman; "There's not speck of
that there tickin' left"
"There is too" interrupted the
girl, holding up large scrap, "and
here it is, so, there. And what's
more here's a lot of new calico.
Sakesl where did you raise so
much!
The woman's eyes frightened
and her tones cheered perceptibly
as she answered hurriedly:
"Well, shut the drawer and git
away from there, and I'll give you
one of them pieces for new dress.
You can take your choice, the lay
lock an green or the speckled pink.
Do git down. Right there by that
window, too, and most time for
Mike to be a-comin'."
At that moment Mike himself en-
tered the door. His not ill-natured
face clouded over as he observed
Lowizy coolly replacing the prints
in the drawer, and he stepped hast
lily forward, as if to arrest her far
ther progress. A significant glance
from his wife caused him to turn
toward the cot instead Of the bu-
reau.
"Never mind it," whispered his
wife soothingly, "she hasn't spied
out nothin'. She's only pokin' af-
ter bit Of stuff to patch your
overalls. If you flare up likely as
not she'll suspect something.

want to dose Mandy an fix these

Mike lifted his dinner and eat it
in silence, while Mandy took her
dose and Lowizy's nimble fingers
piled the needle upon the torn ov-
erals. When Mike had finished
his repast she looked up from her
work and said:

OF recluse ana the only business he was known 10

sisted Leach to his apartments about noon on the
