Free Quinine.

The abolition of the duty ON quinine will
probably make the market price from
twenty-five to thirty per cent less than it
has been, which will be great boon to the
people. This medicine is almost one of
the necessities of life. It is as much me-
cessity as coffee. Some remedies are named
by the people generally and thought Of by
them only in connection with the diseases
for which they are most used. BY this or
dinary association of ideas quinine and
fever and ague go together +; and, indeed,
as our whole country is more or less mala-
rious the widespread use Of the medicine
due to malarious maladies alone makes it q
household article. But it would be great
mistake to suppose that the control OF ma
lar.al disorders is the only burden put
upon this faithful servant. It is medi-
cine now more extensively used than any
one other by physicians Of all schools
allopaths, homeopathic or any other. All
paths lead to quinine, and there are dis
trlcts of the United States where they could
better do without salt than without this
medicine.

One Boiler Explosion Explained.

"Before dying the engineer confessed
that the water was low, and that when he
started to back up the pump was set.in mo-
ton. The explosion followed almost i'm
modiately." From these points in the re-
port OF recent explosion in Minnesota it
is inferred that that particular explosion
resulted from the pumping of cold water
into the hot boiler. There are so many ex-
plosions in which the boiler is without
fault, and in which the engineers skill and
caution are beyond q1estion-in which
nobody and nothing are to blame--that
it must certainly strike the public
as startling and refreshing variation on
the ordinary course of events thus to come
upon d case in which abundant cause for
explosion is explicitly declared to have ex-
listed by the engineer, who knew all about
it. 1t is unfortunate tor the fraternity of
engineers that man so honest should be
lost to their craft. Perhaps the esprit de corps
in that occupation may hold that it is an
engineers first duty not to blow up his en-
gine, and that to tell the truth about the
accident is subsidiary, and that the possess
sion of minor virtue does not compensate
for the absence of primary one. 1t may
be so, and yet we are inclined to regret the
death of the only engineer who ever knew
why his boiler bursted

Free from Fireworks.

The Mayor has wisely, we think, deter
mined not to approve the resolution Of the
Common Council repeating the ordinance
forbidding the use of fireworks in the
streets Of the city on the Fourth of July.
1t may seem to some hardship not to be
allowed to find vent for their superabund-
ant patriotism on the Fourth in fire crack
ers and fizgigs; but, then, the glorious an
niversary has generally brought in its train
a deplorable list OF accidents and losses by
fire, and we may well afford to yield our
national passion for noise and burnt
powder in consideration of the public
safety. We can be good Americans enough
without allowing our children to blow off
their fingers, frighten horses, set fire to
ladies' dresses and burn down houses. The
determination of the Mayor not to allow
the repeal of the ordinance will meet with
general approval.

NIoonshine Murders.

The making of whiskey in Georgia seems
as prolific of violence and murder rs the
drinking Of whiskey in New York. The
atrocious killing of two brothers in that
State on the suspicion that they had given
information to the revenue officers in rela-
ton to the illicit distillers in Pickens
county, which is said to be "a mountain
nest" Of such people, shows how bitter is
the conflict between the distillers and the
government. The brothers Poole were
known to be cousins of the deputy marshal
of the district, who has been active in his
raids against illicit distilleries, and this led
to the belief that they had given iniorma-
tion to their relative regarding the persons
engaged in the business. So on Saturday
night last a mob of ruffians surrounded
the house in which the Pooles lived !;
and although the two brothers evinced
good courage and made gallant defence
they were overpowered by numbers and
shot down in the presence of their families.
The report of the cowardly assassination
published yesterday gave only the outlines
of the crime, but as the two brothers used
their weapons freely before they were over
come it is to be hoped that some of their
murderers were welcomed to hospitable
graves.
these crimes are getting to be common
in the mountainous portions of the States
in which the business of illicit distilling is
carried on, and they ought TO be punished
and resolutely put down. The laws should
be enforced at any cost. and it is to be
hoped that the cold blooded murder OF
these Georgians will be properly avenged.
Some OF the assassins are identified and
should be made to pay the penalty of their
crime on the gallows

TnE WEATuER.-The large area of high ba-

ing rapidly into the ocean in southcasterly di-
rection. The depression that was moving over
the Northwest, as stated in yesterdays HERALD,
has expanded considerably and now dominates
the weather west of the Mississippi River from
the Gulf of Mexico to the British Possessions.
Rain fell throughout the greater portion of the
Northwest and electrical disturbances were fre-
qucnt in the South Atlantic States. The weather
in the other sectionsof the country was generally
fair except in the Middle Atlantic and New Eng
land States, where il was clear. The winds have
been from fresh to brisk in the West and on
the Middle Atlantic and New England coasts
and light in tho other districts. The tcmper.-
ture rose steadily throughout the country,
owing to the advance Of the depression from the
west, which caused southerly TO southwest

Newspaper Tramps.

A few days ago the HERALD alluded
editorially to the existence Of great num-
Der of we'll dressed, conspicuous tramps,
who prey upon society and business men
on the pretence of being journalists. A
notable specimen of the kind has since been
brought to our attention in the person of a
fellow calling himself Merrill, or Morrill,,
who asked pass of railway official at st.
Adams, VT He claimed to be an attache of
the HERALD, and presented letter, reading
about as follows:-
To STEAMBOAT AND RAILROAD Companies
Mr.. Merrill is employed by the HERALD to write
up summer resorts in New England. We should be
fully. JAMES GORDON BENNETT.
Per J. c.. Manager.
Of course the letter was spurious; for, as
we have frequently said in our columns, all
employees OF the HERALD are prepared and
instructed to pay for railway tickets, hotel
accommodations, &C., just as is done by
other business men. between whom and
themselves the public has no occasion to
make any distinction in affairs of dollars
and cents These frauds do not restrict
their operations to country towns the large
cities are infested by them, New York being
sufferer in proportion to her size. This
form Of imposition upon business credulity
and good nature is partly due to the habit
which many companies and individuals
have of issuing free passes and tickets by
the bushel. Anxious for advertisements
that are not paid for as such they invite
the attacks of the scamps who hang upon
the skirts of the newspaper profession-the
camp followers Of journalism.

canal is comparatively slight. European
trade with Asin will never take this route,
because the voyage is SO much shorter
through the Suez Canal. The only interest
which European commerce has In the Da-
rien Canal is limited to it's trade with the
Pacific coast of America, trade which.
small ut present, will decrease with the
progress of events. Our enterprising man
uiacturers will sooner or later supply the
South American States on the Pacific,
and the goods will be carried in
our own vessels. The result will be that
not m erely four-ffths but fully nine-tenths
of the commerce which passes through the
Darien Canal will carry the flag OF the
United States. it is perfectly absurd to
suppose that our people will ever permit
the nations of Europe to have any share in
the control of n route whose chief business
will be furnished by the coasting trade of
the United States between it's ports on the
Pacific and it's ports on the Gulf and the
Atlantic. 1t is certain that our govern
ment will not only enter into no SEN
tangliug alliances" with European Powers
for the protection and regulation of the
proposed canal, but that it will
neither recognize nor respect nor
tolerate any European interference in the
matter. When the proper time comes it
will make its attitude SO plain that no pru-
dent capitalist will think of investing his
money on the faith of European guaran-
tee. Only the United States can give an
effectual guarantee, and we are strong
enough to enforce and maintain it without
European aid, and in defiance of European
opposition. We shell never admit Eu-
rope to any share in the control of route
of commerce in which we have so para
mount an interest.

A vigilant Police Com missioner.

Commissioner MacLean evidently realizes
the fact that greater vigilance and activity
are demanded at the hands of the Commits
sioners of the New York Police Department,
who are paid literally for the services they
are supposed to render to the city. Justice
Flammer having recently addressed a note to
some of the police captains informing them
that the arrest of respectable housekeepers
and their detention in station house all
night on charge OF sweeping a few hand
fuls of dirt from their doorsteps into the
gutter is illegal, and, at all events, unnec-
essary, Commissioner MacLean rushes into
print in a resolution instructing the Police
Superintendent to issue an order justifying
and approving such arrests. This energy
on the part OF the Police Commissioners ut
the head of the Street Cleaning Bureau
proves that he is determined to do some
thing at last to justify his appointment to
that important position in place Of the dis
placed Commissioner Nichols. He has not
swept any more streets than his predecessor
swept or removed any greater quantity OF
ashes and garbage than the old management
better now than they were a year
ago, the carts that collect the refuse
are even less careful and reliable than
formerly, and there is quite as much dan
ger of pestilence from rotting garbage now
as there ever was. just as much money is
spent as was expended under the old
regime, and just as, little honest work is
r..
who was for long time the legal adviser
of the Police Board before he was made
Commissioner, has discovered that it is a
statutory misdemeanor" for any person
to ''throw, cast or lay any ashes,
offal, vegetables, garbage, dross, Gin
OF rubbish of any kind whatever in
any gutter. street, lane, alley or public
place in the city of New York" and SO he
energetically instructs the police to arrest
and lock up over night, if necessary, any
respectable old lady housekeeper who may
sweep the dirt from her front stoop into
the road in violation of this law.
We congratulate Mr.. MacLean on his
new-found official energy. Now that he
has launched his thunderbolt against
cleanly and Industrious old ladies, will he
pay attention. as head Of the Street Clean
ing Bureau, to the job carts which pretend
to carry off the ashes and garbage at long
intervals, but take care to spill good
percentage on roads which Mr. MacLean is
paid to keep clean. but does not keep
clean, and which the residents pay pri-
vate contractor for cleaning? Will he do
something to remove the foul garbage and
filth which he allows to accumulate in the
back streets of the city? Will he awake to
the understanding that there are other
offenders against the statutes besides re-
spectacle females whose crime is cleanli-
ness, and that they escape unpunished?
Commissioner MacLeans sudden vigilance
lis commendable, but then it will not be Of
great service to the city if it is to be con-
fined to the rigid punishment of old ie-
males who venture to sweep the dirt from
their front doorsteps into the road.

Free Baths at the Battery.

That large portion Of the public which
knows that dirt and decency are incom-
patible will be glad to learn that location
at the Battery has been decided upon for o
free bath, and that the house already built can
be moored at once. There is no other por-
ton of the city where bathing facilities are
more needed, for the downtown wards are
not only thickly populated by people who
cannot afford to pay for the privilege of
bathing. but thousands of men and boys
who are employed in the stores, warehouses
and factories below the City Hall are
equally poor, yet as deserving of such op-
portunities as any one. Mr.. Wenman.
president of the Park Commission, explains
satisfactorily the apparent refusal of the
Commission to grant the location originally
asked, it having already been leased and
paid for, and he more than hints at stupid
carelessness on the part of the Department
OF Public Works, which demanded the site
without having consulted the proper de-
partment on tho subject. Now let the
bath be placed in position ut once--thou-
sands of people are in urgent need of it.
