The politicians have been puzzled to
know who will be acting Collector OF the
Port OF New York in case the name of Gen.
eral Merritt, now before the Senate, should
be rejected. The suspension of General
Arthur will continue until the close of the
present session OF Congress. unless his sue
cessor should be confirmed, and in case Of
General Merritts rejection the President is
bound to send in new nomination for the
Office. The refusal of the Senate to confirm
General Merritt would not restore General
Arthur to the Collectorship, but some have
supposed that it would remove General
Merritt entirely. and that the duties of the
Collector would then devolve on the deputy,
whose province 1t would be to act in case of

It is unquestionable that some objection
able influences lent their aid to secure
Mr.. Alvord's election as Speaker Of the
Assembly. We are unwilling to suspect.
and really do not believe that Mr.. Alvord
will allow these influences to have any con-
troll over his official action. A candidate for
office may tacitly accept the services of unde-
sirable supporters without mourning any OBJ
legation to bestow favors upon them in return
and without any intention to do so. But
Mr.. Alvord will have an early opportunity
to show his independence by the selection
he makes for the standing committees.
There are certain members known to be
more or less under the control Of corpora
tons and approachable by the lobby. and
certain other members who are recognizable
as wholly aloof from such influences. If
Mr.. Alvord takes his chairmen of the I'M
portant committees from the latter class he
will not only prove that he has no sympathy
with the creatures of the lobby, but will do
much toward securing good reputation
for the first Legislature assembled in the
new State Capitol.

school Commissipner watson's Dis
cOvery.

It will be seen from the proceedings of
the Board of Education yesterday after
noon that one OF it's distinguished Commits
sioners has made the important discovery
that the present ventilation of the public
schools Of this city is as perfect as it could
be, and that the agitation on the subject is
the work OF the owners of patents who with
the magnificent amount of four or Ave ten
dollar bills have influenced the whole news
paper press. Being Commissioner it is to be
presumed he is thoroughly informed on the
subject, and rs the question of ventilation
and of the alleged bribery is important as
we'll as interesting to the public we trust
he will be compelled to disclose all he
knows before the committee that is to be
appointed to investigate it. Physicians,
architects, school officials, teachers and
parents by the hundred, the thousand and
the ten thousand are unanimously OF the
opinion that large number of the school
buildings are so badly constructed and
SO carelessly managed that they are
simply hotbeds of disease and death.
The Commissioner in question de-
clares that this opinion is absurd
and that he has positive knowledge that it
is so. They are oil model institutions, and
the "clamor" on the subject is the work of
''scribblers" and ''patent men," The pub
lie will demand the names of these persons
at his hands. If it shall turn out that his
assertions are mere reckless statements,
without any better foundation than his own
passion or prejudice, they will be very likely
to inquire If there is not some way of trans
ferring him from the Board to the primary

mails goes too far, and. by proving too
much, proves nothing.
We are glad that the cipher dispatches
are to be investigated, and while we do not
desire to see the investigation restricted in
any direction we insist, and the whole bust
ness community will agree with us in in
sisting, that there be an unsparing scrutiny
of the methods by which those dispatches
were obtained. Nobody's correspondence
by telegraph is safe if the originals of mes
sages can be surreptitiously procured from
the offices of the company and used for pur-
poses of personal malice or political annoy
ance. This is most serious business, and
while there is no sympathy for Mr.. Tilden
there is a widespread feeling in that part Of
the community that has frequent occasions
to use the Telegraph that the company
should be held accountable for betraying
its trust and that the accomplices Of it's
treachery should be exposed. The tele-
graph should be as safe and as sacred as the
mail, and, since messages in cipher are the
equivalent of sealed letters, the translation
of such dispatches, except by the order of
court, is an offence of precisely the same
grade as the unauthorized tampering with
sealed letter. Those who committed this
offence must be made to answer for it, both
as warning to others and vindication of
the right of private correspondence.

cludes all marine products, and not merely
fish proper-as the pearl fisheries, coral
fisheries and sponge fisheries. There is
even section for articles related to the
study of the bottom of the sea. All OF
nearly oil the worlds fairs have been
hitherto universal in their scope, and, Of
course, it was scarcely possible to 60 into
any one department with the fulness Of
detail with which it might be studied.
Several divisions of natural history and
of industry might in themselves sup
ply material for a fair as great and
almost as important as any one Of
the universal fairs, and the subjects
grouped in this proposition constitute
one of these Aquatic animals-all the
marine creatures that men hunt in all the
climates Of the world-ar one class all the
implements used in the pursuit or cap
ture of these constitute another class all

still another. History, science, trade-all

state Supervision.

Governor Robinson's suggestions in rela-
ton to the Insurance and Banking depart
ments will no doubt receive the earnest at
tention of the Legislature. There is force
in the Governors argument that the States
special supervision over life insurance COM
panies and savings banks is apt to give
people confidence in such institutions and
to deter them from making close personal
investigation as to their standing and char
acter. When the supervision is imperfect
or dishonest it serves as decoy to the un-
wary and induces them to trust their money
with bankrupt and swindling concerns.
Under those circumstances the department
acts the part of person who gives
false character to a dishonest SER
want, or Of ''capper" who entices
the unwary into gambling houses. The
Governor insists that if the State takes
upon itself the position of supervisor of
such business it ought, at least, to make
good the losses suffered through institutions
to which its agents have given good charac-
ter when it was undeserved. But the Gov
ernor's position is that the policy of State
interference with private business of any
kind, except where unavoidable, is undemc-
cratic and harmful. He insists that people
will look more sharply alter their own in
terests when such interference is not at
tempted.
The experience of the Bank and Insur-
ance departments has not been encour-
aging. Some heads of those departments
have been removed in disgrace and others
have been under grave suspicion. Recently
the bank supervision seems to have been
good and efficient, and there is every APP
pearance, from the reports now received,
that the unsafe savings institutions have
been pretty we'll weeded out. AS to the In
surance Department, it will be for the Legis-
1ature to decide whether it is wiser to con-
tinue department which is entirely ire
sponsible or to place the duty of n SUPER
vision of such business in the hands of
subordinate in the Comptroller's Office, who
is responsible to his chief, himself an Off
Ger elected by and responsible to the
people.

any temporary vacancy. II is maintained
at Washington that General Merritt's rejec-
ton for the permanent Collectorship, for
which he has been nominated by the Presi-
dent would not interfere with his position
as acting Collector, to which he has been
appointed by the President and holds at
the Presidents will alone. The President
has the power to remove Linn at any mo-
ment, and to appoint some other person in
his place; but unless this is done, or some
other Collector is confirmed by the Senate,
General Merritt, even if rejected by the
Senate, will remain acting Collector until
the close of the present session of Congress.
This is how they look at the matter at
Washington, md politicians will do we'll

action accordingly.

"Who shall decide when doctors dis
agree?" is query which is no less applica-
BILE to scientific than to medical problems.
The widespread interest which our special
telegram of January Is concerning the latest
solar discoveries of Mr.. j. Norman Lockyer
excited in American scientific circles is
evident from the attention the subject has
received in the columns of more than one
of our contemporaries, not less than from
the views expressed to q HERALD represent
tative by leading professors in the three
principal institutions of learning in this
scientific metropolis" for which DR.. Weisse
spoke good word last night to the assem-
bled philologists. Wea accustomed to think
of science as so supremely infallible that
our faith receives o rude shock on perceiv-
ing the lack of unity which prevails in the
serene heights of physical research. While
the general opinion upon Mr.. Lockyer's
claims may be summed up rs Scotch verdict
of '.Not proven" we are panied to observe
that on many other allied subjects of astro-
nomical and spectroscopical research the
scientists cannot agree. Even upon mat

to be one Of the assured results of Ameri-
can discovery, we find spectroscopist Of

ton. In this dilemma we are fain to call
for 'more light" from the solar ray and,
meanwhile, to possess our souls in patience.

In recent speech NJ Gnmbetta delivered
plain piece of common sense in regard to
the limits of republican activity, and it
seems to afford singular indication OF the
extent with which some ancient errors were
cherished in France, that this piece OF
common sense, thus distinctly stated, is
Landed as piece of the highest Wisdom and
a truth for the want Of the knowl edge Of
which France has hitherto failed in all her
great endeavors to secure self-government.
Gambetta said that the Republic proposed
to make government that should be for
Frnnce and only for France" Humanity is
not taken into the programme. In 1889 they
proposed to emancipate the world Ito make
common cause with all oppressed peoples;
and o few years later invited these OPP
pressed peoples to make their grievances
known at Paris in order that the Republic
might come to their assistance. But for
the coalition OF the courts the French Re-
public would have been safely organized in
those years; and the coalition could not
have been kept together but for the az
gressive spirit of the Republic. France is
wiser now, or rather the French statesmen
Of this time are instructed in more useful
things than political theory. and they un-
derstand that what most needs saving at
their hands is not the world, but their
country. It is good thing for people to
learn to mind their own business, and more
advantageous to nations even than to indi-
yiduals
