..Our Flag Is There.n

Although Congress has been talking for
nearly half year there are yet localities
in which our national emblem is respected.
dent of that city having accidentally and
without knowledge of the fact hoisted his
flag Union down. the Fire Departments
chief saw tho holy rag in its unhappy
condition, and straightway called out
his entire department 1t is not exactly
good for disabled flag in mid air, unless
it might raise column of water, with
man on the end of it. to the scene of the
accident, but the habit which officials
have of devising plans that no COM
mon mortal would suspect justifiss
us in believing that the chief would
have done something wonderful il
he had been allowed time enough. But
when the Fire Department arrived it could
find no flames except in the patriotic heart
it's superintendent, and these were of
kind which no true American would care to
extinguish. Then there was great hubbuh
in the streets; the fremen were disappointed,
ana SO were the small boys VINO mad
run after the engines. The perpetrator of
the aagitious offence was suspected of dis
loyalty, the Mayor made speech to allay
the excitement, and finally the chief gall
lantly threw himself in the breach--to
speak fguratively-an raised the glorious
banner right side up, before the iremen,
boys and residents in general would
go to their homes again. 1t is fitting
that this rare, exciting event should
have occurred in the Keystone State,
whittier the residents of both sections are
looking for the coming man, and it is
enough to make one shudder to think how
all the patriotic fervor would have remained
dormant had the chief given some boy ten
cents to go aloft and start the flag Alright.

there are many brave, reliable men on the
force, the bad ones are SO numerous so pre-
suming, and, for some unaccountable rea-
son, so influential with the commissioners,
that they taint and disfgure the whole
body. No person pretends that police,
however efficient and faithful, can wholly
prevent crime; but it can check crime by
being a terror to evil doers through
its watchfulness and by its intelligence and
vieor in detecting criminals and bringing
them to justice. The police of New York
are to be held directly responsible for the
burglary at the Manhattan Bank on Broad
way, for the robbery of the Stewart
grave, for the Twenty-seventh street homi-
eide, for the Hull murder and for the Sey
mour assassination, not because they did
not happen to be present at the right mo-
ment when these crimes were committed
and to catch the criminals in the act, but
because their incapacity, carelessness and
ignorance are so notorious that male
factors set about the most des-
perate and atrocious villanies without
any dread of the police or any
fear of detection. Such crimes as the
Stewart grave robbery and the Hull MUIR
der would never have been thought of if
the police of the city had been as noted for
untiring watchfulness as they are for
neglect and stupidity. 1t is idle to sup
pose that the incapacity and carelessness
that rendered the stealing of the Stewart
body possible; that failed to discover the
negro murderer enter the Forty second street
house; that took no note of the open doors
during the night; that gave an opportunity
for the Twenty-seventh street homicide and
allowed the nightly invasion of the Episcopal
Seminary grounds, will not give an addi-
tional impetus to crime and be followed
by new atrocities. AS the character of the
police force deteriorates the boldness Of the
criminal classes naturally increases, and it
is to be feared that the record Of robbery
and murder, already SO alarming, will re-
ceive fearful additions from the experience
of the last few months. The only hope of
protection for the people is in the Police
eral Smith, Mr.. Wheeler, Mr.. MacLean and
Mr.. French that New York shall become
the harvest ground for murderers and
robbers and place of deadly peril for rep
utable citizens. 1t rests with them to
weed the police of brutality, corruption
and incapacity and to give us a force under
whose protection and in whose vigilance and
fidelity the lives and property of the people
will be safe.

Not Much OF n Peace.

For some weeks past every fresh report
from South Africa gave the details Of the
excessive anxiety of the Zulu king to make
peace and get the awful burden of the war
off his hands but it now begins to appear
that these reports represented rather Lord
Chelmsford's wishes as TO what Cetywayo
would do than any intention on the part Of
Cetywayo. He has, it appears, made no over
lures with terms of peace. His messengers
sent forward to palaver-perhaps simply
with view to stretch out events and make
every possible delay were sent away be-
cause they did not talk turkey" They
had no authority to say on what terms
peace might be made, and they were or
dered to return to endeavor to secure, not
even Cetywayo's terms, but some evidence
of his sincerity in his pretended wish to
make peace. That reduces his peaceable in
clinations TO very fine point. One of the
evidences thus required was that he should
send in the two cannon captured at Isan-
dula. As these cannon are of no use what

for sincerity at very cheap rate in that
way. Pending Cetywayo's answer there
would be mo operations" and if his answer
was favorable there would be q cessation of
hostilities pending the discussion of the
terms of peace. All OF which is quite salts

haps satisfactory to Lord Chelmsford also,
who seems to be principally eager to find
one pretext after another for avoiding in
definitely that fighting of which he is
clearly not very fond. Government has
sent out scheme for the basis OF peace,
and as Sir Bartle Frere sent one before the
war began that has evidently been reconsid-

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

Our national birthday and its celebration
suggest to some of our city pastors suit
able topic with which to refresh the minds
and hearts of their hearers to-day. For in
stance, Mr.. Knapp is moved to speak about
the sinners declaration of independence
and Mr.. Blake will raise our national
Ebenezer because the Philistines have been
again subdued. Mr.. Sweetser has collated
from the Gospels instances of Christ's pa
triotism and will present them to his hear
ers to-day. The true national basis of
liberty and prosperity and peace will
be set forth by DR.. Deems and per-
sonal and national character will
be compared by Mr.. Pullman. But
besides those patriotic and religious discus
sions other subjects will be presented to-
day. Mr.. Davis will tell young men what
their mission in life is Father B. l.. Quinn
will speak of the marriage of the Catholic
clergy from his personal experience, and
Father McNamara will re-enter the camp of
his brethren. The unsearchable riches will
be shared with his congregation by Mr..
Hull the sufficiency of Gods grace in
times of trial and perplexity will be proved
by Mr. Lloyd, and the true story of the
Ark will be told by Mr.. Searles. The de-
trated by Mr. Cleaver neglected birthrights
be gath cred up and set in order by Mr..
Lyon. and the success of the total absti-
nence movement will be shown by Mr..
Gibbs.

Summer Religion.

Probably the enemy of mankind never
takes any vacation. So far as personal in-
telligence has been given of him. and ac-
counts of his peculiarities and habits, it is
not recorded that he ever went away for
rest or to escape the heat. On the con-
trary, it is generally set down that he is
indefatigable, inventive, alert and forever
planning new traps and snares for mortal
man and covering his hooks with the incest
and newest sorts Of bait. Some of the old.
est of his bats are killing, but he gets up
new ones now and then with tremendous
effect. Now, as this troublesome customer
never takes any vacation, how is it that at
about this time Of the year q vacation is
taken by hundreds and thousands Of
those good men who have given
their lives to the noble service
OF protecting the souls of men and
women against the devices of this arch
enemy? Looking out for him, watching
his games. telling where his new traps are
set aud giving precise directions how we
shall avoid the bait is the function of o
noble company of men the world over, and
this function must be useful and important,
because the world pays every year at least
a tenth of its yearly earnings to the men
who perform it. That could hardly happen
if it was not known that the service rem
dered was worth it. But if the keepers and
defenders Of human souls 60 away for
rest and the enemy continues his campaign
may we not lose in summer oil that has
been protected with great difficulty through
the other seasons? Or If the people left to
themselves are safe for the summer might
they not perhaps be just as safe for the
rest of the year without the payment of the
vast sums given for priestly service?

A Legal Point for Commissioner Mac
Lean.


A citizen applied to Justice Flammer at
the Tombs Police Court yesterday for
warrant against the foreman of the Street
Cleaning Bureau for the Tenth ward for
failing to remove dead goat which had
been ripening and rotting in the hot sun
opposite the complninant's residence for
the last three days. The police had been
notified to remove the offensive body, but
no attention had been paid to the notifica-
ton, and there the carcass remained, to the
disgust of the residents and the enjoyment
of the visiting flies. The Justice instructed
the complaining party to communicate with
Commissioner MacLean.
Here is splendid opportunity for the
new and learned Police Commissioner to
make another decision on q grave legal
point connected with street cleaning mat
ters, of which he has supreme control. Re-

The WEATnER.-All traces of the disturbance
that passed over the Middle Atlantic and New
England States on the 4th have entirely passed
away, and the barometer rose with remarkable
rapidity during yesterday. The pressure is
high throughout all the country east of the
Mississippi River, there being two distinct cen
tres where the barometer is above 30. 20 mches
In the West and Northwest the pressure is de-
creasing steadily, and there are indications of
ance over the Northern Missouri and Mississippi
valleys. Rain fell in the Gulf States, the lake
regions and the Northwest. There were also
some light showers experienced in the central
valleys. The weather was cloudy in all the
districts except the South Atlantic and East
ern Gulf States and some sections Of
the lower lake regions and Middle Atlantic
States The winds have been from fresh to
brisk on the Middle Atlantic coast and in the
Northwest aud generally fresh in the other see
tioms of the country. The temperature fell de
cdcdly, except in the central valleys, where it
remained nearly stationary. The depression
that is moving in the West will probably take a
course similar to the one that has just passed
AWAY, that is, over the lake regions to the 81.

direction toward Nova Scotia. The weather
over the British Islands is unsettled. The
