to secure the passage OF q resolution direct

Another school Inspector Speaks.

School Commissioners Watson should be
on the alert for the eorrupting influences
that are abroad and trying to impose good
air upon the lungs OF bad little boys and
girls. The trouble has broken out in q new
place. DR.. Enderman. who is neither re-
porter nor patent ventilator man, has
been reporting to the Board of Health tho
condition OF tho public schools, and he
finds professional reasons for disliking the
mir of tho rooms as much as the little VIC
Tins and the HEnALp do. His table Of
comparative air space. temperature and
impurity Of air in certain schools is very
suggestive to scientists. parents and under
takers, though whether it will be equally 30
to body Of men who know and care so
little about ventilation as our Board of
Education do IL quite q different mat
ter. Perhaps the Ventilation Committee
of the Board may be interested to learn
that the only school upon which both Dr.
Enderman and the HERALD inspector re-
ported = Grammar School No. 18-stands
equally bad in the estimation of both gem
tlemen. The HEnALp said of it that we're IL

sent here to be shipped as cattle fresh from
the Plains. Every one of those stables is q
hotbed of cattle disease--it cannot be other
wise-an every animal that passes through
them has the disease or the seeds OF disease
in its system And yet they pass inspec-
tors and all. and get out of our ports with
clean health bills.
Our foreign trade in live cattle and
provisions is in peril, and can only be
saved by the organization of an effective
inspection of exports. An inspector OF ex-
ports appointed in fact to protect the good
character of our commerce is logically the
friend of the foreign purchaser, and there
fore the enemy of the seller if that seller is
dishonest He should be in position to
act with judicial impartiality in the per-
formance Of his duty. But he is not
in such position. He is the associate and
in many instances the employ6 of the ex-
porter whose goods he is called upon to
condemn if they are not up to a certain
standard of excellence. How farcical in
spection is that fact alone will show. One
of these days, when the United States Con-
gress has leisure for the performance OF its
proper functions, it may protitably give its
attention to this subject. Indeed. the extra
session rendered necessary by the deter
mination OF the democratic members to force
by revolutionary proceedings the repeal OF
certain laws Objectionable to their party
which might just as well have been repealed
next year as this year, could not do better
than take up and consider the suggestions
made by our Consul at Brussels for the
remedy of this serious evil. He thinks that
government inspectors ought to be sta
toned at every custom house of the United
States, whose especial business it would
be to examine all our food exports,
before shipment for foreign countries, and
certify to their fitness and quality. Whether
this would meet and cure the evil we are
not prepared to say, but the subject is one
of far greater Importance to the public in
terests than a majority Of the matters to
which Congress usually devotes its time.

The WEATHER.-An extensive depression ad-
vanccd over the central valleys from the north
west during yesterday, and last night it was over
the lower lake and ST. Lawrence Valley districts
The pressure is not yet very much below the
mean, but it Is likely to decrease steadily as the
disturbance nears the ocean. During its cast
ward movement the depression's influence was
felt over large area owing to the great differ
snce of temperature in the bodies OF atmosphere
hat preceded and followed it. The great con.
rasts of temperature which occurred in the Gen.
sral Mississippi and Ohio valleys caused general
Eal Of rain in those districts although the pres
sure was considerably above the mean. Rains
were also numerous in the lake regions and east
ward to tho Atlantic coast, aud in the New Eng
land States the low temperature caused them TO
changcinto sleet or snow. Another depression is
approaching from the regions Of Northern Texas
aud New Mexico and will probably reach tho
central valley districts early to-day. As yet it
does not give indications of developing centre
Of disturbance Of very great energy, but when
itseastward movement becomes retarded by the
high area in advance the gradients for south
westerly winds will become steep. The winds
have been brisk over the lakes and Oh the Middle
Atlantic and New England coasts. In the other
districts they have been generally fresh. The
temperature fell decidedly in the Middle At
lantic and New England States yesterday morn
ing, bnt steady rise soon followed. 1t has
risen in all the districts except the North west,
where 1t is falling slowly Reports from Cali
forna cay that the rainfall in the interior of the
State has been exceedingly heavy. In the Rus
siau River Valley, six inches fell during forty
eight hours, causing great and damaging floods.
All the rivers are reported to be very high. The
storm centre has passed over the British Islands
and the barometer is rising, accompanied by
cooler northwcsterly to westerly winds. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will be cool and partly cloudy, with light rains
early ia the morning, followed by clearing.
Tomorrow it will be warmer and partly cloudy
er fair, possibly with occasional light rains.

Queer Justice and Queer Morality.

Queer Justice and Queer Morality.
By gross carelessness, to put the case in
its best aspect-gross oversight on the part
of the Judge, and gross oversight of the
prosecuting oficer-two men were on
Wednesday discharged from the hands Of
justice who had brought into the city eleven
cows, seven of which were in the last stages
of pleuro-pneumonia- They had bought
these cows for eighteen dollars apiece,
knew that they were not healthy. knew that
their act was unlawful. They probably in
tended to sell these cows to be slaughtered
for beef Yet these persons ara dismissed
because it appears the Judge misunder-
stood an important point in the case.
and the prosecuting officer neglected
another important point It would be
just as well to give complete immunity
to people ready to spread this disease
to its utmost and to feed the people on
diseased meat. But the story Of these cat
tie involves piece of queer morality as
we'll as piece of queer justice. They
were sold by Mr. Judson, of the Gramercy
Park Hotel. He know their condition, as
the price indicates. Was he willing to save
the small sum for which he sold those dis
eased COWS ut the risk of being party to
transaction in the sale Of diseased meat?
One who keeps hotel ought to be in
terested in the suppression OF that traffic.

An Accident ON tho Metropolit.n "L

An Accident ON tho Metropolitan s.L.''
We earnestly invite the attention of the
81" companies to ON accident which oc-
Cured yesterday on the Metropolitan IL"
near the Twcnty-third street station, and
which illustrated, happily without loss of
life, tie danger that would attend the use Of
crossings ON the rapid transit roads. Tho
engine of train broke tho connecting rod
of the driving wheels and smashed the Sleep
ers or ties SO completely that they fell on
Sixth avenue. Before the damaged engine
could be removed several trains had come
up behind it, and the road wns blocked for
some time. Now. let US suppose that this
accident occurred ut the Beaver street
junction, or, still worse. at the pro-
posed Chatham square crossing, and
on that part Of the crossing which would
effectuaily block all the roads-that Is to
say. on the down track just below Division
street. Before the wreck-for there might
be great deal of fit-could be cleared away
the roads north and south would be crowded
with trains. nil of which would have to pass
the damaged crossing before any resump-
ton OF regular running could be possible
on either road. These trains so delayed
might be crowded with passengers anxious
to get home or to their places of business,
and Gs the means Of leaving trains arc lin
tied at present to the station platforms it
might be necessary to call out the nearest
hook and ladder companies of the Fire De-
partment to rescue people, as from burn
ing building from the rapid transit trains.
We do not care to contemplate. what the
consequences would be ii the track was so
injured by an accident as to throw the train
off. Indeed, that is rather remote risk
that is run by travellers on every surface
as we'll as elevated railroad. A broken con-

king cetyw.yo, or zulaiand.

The cable news from London published
in this mornings HERALD would appear to
intimate that the English government is
fully aware of the difficulties to be en-
countered in settling the Zulu war.
King Cetywayo has shown q military
cunning a. knowledge OF the mill
tary- weakness of English methods
OF warfare against savage peoples.
worthy of no little admiration. The English
military authorities have apparently need
to take Charles Reade's advice earnestly to
heart. "People who so to war." says that
distinguished novelist, ''should immedi-
ately rub up their wits; they should cudgel
their brains a bit, grudging SO base all en-
emy the life Of single British soldier and
the tears of those who moan for him."
The ingenious novelist asks why small
reconnoitring purposes, SO that the savage
lairs could be easily discovered? Bat the
gentle Zulu is, perhaps, quite cunning
enough to hide even from the telescope of
military balloonist: for he loves the depths
of the forest and the shadows Of the night
better than the open, whore his lighter
colored foes would have the advantage over
him. Admitted that balloons might be
very useful to the English forces in Zulu
land, OF decidedly greater advantage
would be a commander-in-c -chief with more
military capacity than Lord Chelmsford has
so far shown himself to have. OF this the
English War Office authorities seem to be
ita oy hut has ~ rat
informed us who is to be Lord Chelmsford's
successor. The name of Major General
Sir Daniel Tyson has been men
toned, while tho correspondent OF
an English provincial journal speaks
of Sir Garnet Wolseley as the future com
mander-in- chief in South Africa, yet later
despatch says that Lord Chelmsford is to
be kept in his command. With prop
erly organized force it is not probable
that King Cetywayo will, in the end. prove
victorious. Large forces of the Zulus
have. in the past. been defeated by q
mere handful Of Beers. and repetition
Of the Isandula disaster Is scarcely
to be feared. Nevertheless it would be we'll
for the English commander to keep in mind
the fact that he has to deal with very
doughty monarch, the chieftain Of war;
like race that boasts of more than one leader
of extraordinary prowcss. King Cetywayo
makes his uncle King Chaka his avowed
model, and the latter occupies on important
place in Zulu tradition, having been
compared by various writer's to Alexan-
der the Great. to Napoleon I. and
tho great Frederick of Prussia. The nephew
has now won for himself fame almost
greater than his uncle, for he has succeeded
in inficting defeat on the English forces
very similar to that which Arminius, the
leader of the Cheruskean and the German
tribes inflicted on Varus in the Teutoburg
Forest. He is evidently dusky foe not to
be despised. and we shall follow the story
as it comes to us OF his resistance to tho
English forces with considerable interest.
