The stewart Grave Robbers.

No higher proof of the skill with which
the robbers of the grave of the late A. L.
Stewart carried out their hideous crime is
needed than that they are yet undis-
covered and that they have kept
the grim secret Of the whereabouts of
the remains while negotiating ins o
surprisingly bold manner for their ransom.
The story of these negotiations, as pub
lished elsewhere, is an extraordinary one,
and needs no comment to impress itself
upon the most thoughtless reader 1t has
been carefully sifted in all its parts. and
may be relied on as serious chroni-
Gle of events which, though wearing
all the air of wild romance,
have come to pass in this prosaic New York
of ours. The stately cathedral growing to
completion at Garden City, the memorial
crypt designed with artistic care and
watched with loving eyes, are proofs that
the tender side of human nature is exert
ing its influence in the hope that the grave
will yet get back its dead. With
the sordid robbers these things have
doubtless had their weight in the persist
ent urging Of their demand for an enor-
nous ransom which they felt could not
always be denied. But what the public de-
mands is that, aside from all sentiment. the
robbers shall be hunted down, and to that
end the fullest publicity is the best help.
The crime, we are assured, has not been
compromised, and it should not be.

What MIR. Wendell Phillips Thinks.


1t is not of much importance what Mr..
Phillips thinks so that we can give space
to only the material parts of his long letter
to Mr.. Scion Chase. He thinks very poorly
of Secretary Sherman; there is no doubt
about that. He thinks poorly of President
Hayes. He has poor opinion of the re-
publican party and poor opinion of the
democratic party, and, in fact, poor opin-
ion of mankind in general. It was a
French critic of the Old Testament
we believe, perhaps M. Renan, who
wrote that one of the most fortunate events
in the career Of Moses, the great lawgiver.
was that he died before the children
of Israel crossed the Jordan and entered
the promised land. Had he lived, said
this wicked Frenchman, he would have
been a first class obstructive and growler;
would have spent his days in denouncing
Joshua and all of Young Israel, and, in fact,
we suppose, would have played the part in
the public events of those days which Mr..
Phillips has for some time essayed in our
notifies

The decision in the case of the pilot who
has been found upon what we suppose was

very true. But such cases are not investi.

issue, which seems to him the only thing fit
for forty millions of people to think about,
they will have themselves to blame for a
smashing defeat. They cannot ride to sue
cess on a personal grievance or with a
claimant" as their igurehead.
We are happy to be able to agree with
Mr.. Tilden on two points. He desires Gen
eral Ewings success in Ohio. The HERALD
also thinks it desirable. though not perhaps
on the grounds which Mr.. Tilden states.
And he gave Mr.. Springer to understand
that he was willing to throw overheard Gov
ernor Robinson and accept Mr.. Potter as a
compromise candidate This is certainly
sensible, and we are pleased to find that
Mr. Tilden reads the HERALD and adopts
at least one of its recommendations to him.
Breaking Down the Great Wall.
For the sake of our lady readers we re-
greet that our correspondent in Pekin did
not havethe opportunity of seeing and de-
scribing for US the seven-year-old Emperor
of China and the two old ladies who have
him in charge. 1t appears. however, that
the child ruler is a timid, unhealthy boy,
who is supposed to have the habit, as little
ing when brought into the presence Of
strangers, and too young to appreciate to
its full value the glory of his grand titles as
the Son of Heaven and King of the
World. But in place of an audience with
the heaven-born boy we have the record
of very pleasant and interesting chat
between the General and Prince Kung, the
Prince RegenS, one of the most remarkable
statesmen of China, who has never seen the
sea nor a ship, but is gifted with remark
able stock Of common sense, and knows
how to dispense official courtesies in a
manner that would do credit to Versailles
courtier of the time of Louis XIV. His
ideas about girl babies, however, are to be
utterly condemned from the standpoint
of the civilization of the West, where
girl babies and girls do still sometimes
count in the sum of human happi-
ness. Our correspondents description of
the dinner with the Prince Regent is made
dishes, and the General watches his plate
slowly piled up with all sorts Of Chinese
culinary delicacies shark fins and birds
nests-enough to garnish a Christmas tree.
Behind this pile, however, the General
takes refuge to smoke his cigar and talk to
the Prince and his ministers in comfort
able way about railroads. about education
in China and the United States and civili-
zation and progress in general. The Gen
erals remark, that true progress must come
from within, is certainly worth the attention
of Chinese statesmen.

United states Juri.dictlon i'm Egypt.

United States Jurisdiction i'm Egypt.
In Egypt a certain Greek is to be tried
for murder before another Greek because he
killed an italian in the streets of an Egyp-
tian city, and the interest of the American
people in such case is not immediately
apparent. Neither could the average citizen
see in the simple facts of the case any good
reason why the authority of our government
should come between this Greek of Smyrna
and the ordinary everyday justice
OF the country in which he COM
mitted the crime for which he is
held, nor how our national honor or Dig
nifty are in any way whatever concerned.
But the murderer is an American citizen,
so called, though, perhaps, the evidences
of his citizenship would bear scrutiny. If
his citizenship will bear scrutiny legally
we are, no doubt, compelled to act on it as
a fact, though he is, no doubt, one OF
class of foreign citizens who did not ac-
quire their citizenship for any OF the legiti-
mate occasions which naturalization laws
are made to cover, but only as a convent
ence and as an easy means of getting
around some awkward and obstinate laws
of their own country. BY our treaty with
the Ottoman Porte it is provided that our
citizens, seven when they may have
committed some offence, shall be tried by
their Minister or Consul and punished
according to the offence" This takes them
out of the jurisdiction of all Ottoman coun-
tries and puts them into ours, and the
State Department says that the Vice Consul
is proper authority to try case under the
law. 1t is pity that this Vice Consul
should be himself also Levantine, for
this adds to the other peculiarities the I'M
pleasant circumstance that through this
exercise OF ex-territorial jurisdiction the
United States sets aside Egyptian justice
and does not properly substitute its own.

the pilot, but to property owners and the
travelling public, who are aggrieved by the
recklessness with which he handled his
ship. II the penalty is satisfactory to them
that is the most that can be expected. Our
harbor is too great a thoroughfare to admit
of any light or trivial view of the response
bility of persons who, by turn OF the
wheel one way or another may sacrifice
hundred lives.

THE MAN VINO INSISTS retaining in our mar
