Save the Harbor.

The suggestions made by the Pilot Com
missioners and published in yesterdays
HERALD are excellent in their way. They
propose o survey Of the harbor with view
to finding out what portions could be filed
up without detriment to navigation, using
the ashes collected for that purpose, but
insisting that all garbage should be taken
out to sea four miles beyond Sandy Hook,
and all ashes and garbage carried thither
unless the places for depositing the former
inside lines protected by bulkheads had
been laid down under an authorized sur
vey. The estimate of the Comm issioners
for steam scows built of iron and the offer to
superintend their construction are matters
that need not be discussed here, but until
some change is made in the present waste
full plan of disposirg of the city's refuse
it will be saving in the long run to
go to the expense OF scows similar to those
proposed. Nothing could be more suicidal
than the policy of paying high price, as
is done now, for the dumping of garbage
just where it will do New York most harm.
Among the many projects which our legis-
lators to be chosen at the coming election
will carry to Albany none could be moro
worthy of their efforts than one to protect
our magnificent harbor from destruction.
1t concerns not merely the inhabitants of
the city, but touches vitality on the interests
of tho whole State, whose outlet it is. We
should, therefore, have n full delegation in
Senate and Assembly pledged to protect
the harbor from negligence, ignorance and
wastefulness. 1t is not a matter of politics
that there can be u Robinson, q Cornell or
a Kelly side to, but one that purely con-
Germs the public good, which is above all
pnrties
The New York herald., 1879-09-26

For the republican Police Commissioners
to insist on the appointment of Tammany
inspectors of election is equivalent to in
sisting that the entire body of the inspect
ors shall be republicans, in gross defiance
alike Of the spirit and intent of the law and
of its specific directions. The law requires
that the inspectors and poll clerks shall be
equally divided between the two political
parties But Kelly inspectors would virtu-
ally be Cornell inspectors, it being the de-
clared purpose of the Kelly canvass to elect
Cornell and defeat the democratic candi-
date for Governor.
1t would be disgraceful for the republican
Police Commissioners to make themselves
parties to such an intrigue, or such a
bargain, even if it looked to no other
result than an unfair advantage for the
republican State ticket. But when it is
sought to procure this unfair advantage for
the republican State ticket not merely in
defiance of plain law and equity, but at the
risk of DISTINGUISHING the whole body of
New York voters, it is disgraceful and
atrOciOus.

Life Saving by Firemen.

The sacredness of human life--a senti-
ment growing out of our higher civiiza-
tion-has become q so controlling one that
the ingenuity of both the philanthropist
and political economist has been racked to
find a suitable reward for those who dstin-
guish themselves in preserving it. In this
matter, however, as in most others, famil-
iarity breeds contempt. The praises
of the expert swimmer opportunely
ut hand who rescues some unfortunate
from n watery grave, and OF others who by
happy accident are enabled to place them
selves between death and some threatened
victim, are sounded throughout the land.

whose daily habit it is to face danger
in its most frightful form in preserva-

the less worthy of admiration because oft
repeated by man or body of men, and we
respectfully call the attention of the givers
of life saving medals and other evidences
of the public appreciation of heroism in
this particular department to the story of
the fire which occurred yesterday, where
two of our firemen attended TO their busi-
