Commissioners Erharslt's Charges.

Mayor Cooper commences to-day the in.
vestigation Of the charges made by Police
Commissioner Erhardt against his associates
in the Police Board and against tho general
management of the department of which ho
has for five years been an accomplishing
associate director. The Mayor very properly
cuts short the attempts OF Mr.. Erhardt to
avoid the responsibility of appearing as the
accusing party by peremptorily requiring
him to attend at the Executive Chamber
this afternoon and substantiate the allega-
tions he had publicly made. The inquiry
is due to tho people, who have long de-
mandod an investigation of the department,
and to the Commissioners, who have been
arraigned by ono of their own number.
But it will not be satisfactory to any one
unless it is publicly conducted and made
thorough and searching. Written affidavits
and statements and counter statements may
tell fraction of the truth and conceal
the bulk, or may be 80 ingeniously
worded as to make unsubstantiatcd asser-
tions take the scmblance of facts or facts
appear like unsubstantiated assertions.

The Cattle Trade.

Live cattle are still sent out by ship from
this port for England, and will, it appears,
continue to be sent despite the fact that they
must be slaughtered on arrival. Perhaps
the English authorities may discover after
few thousand animals have been slaugh-
tered that none are diseased. and what
may help to open their eyes is the
sharp criticism made in England
of the governments hasty action.
Pleuro- pneumonia does not exist in the
cattle of this country as an epidemic
disease. In some stables of milch cows
kept near large cities and particularly
near this city--it has been found, and has
existed for months and years, and is no
worse now than usual. II the existence of
this disease at these places is O reason for
the action OF the British government in
arresting the trado of live cattle between
this country and English ports the same
reason existed last year. Possibly some
outgoing cattle kept in stockyards here or
at other seaports were contaminated by
some of these diseased COWS, which might
have been adjacent to these cattle in the
yards, as travellers in different directions
may meet at the same station. Such fact
was only possible before the authorities
had their attention called to the conse-
quences. 1t is not possible now. That 1t
was possible exhibits the helpless and
shilly-shally spirit Of authority with as on
manv points Of grave importanoe. Everv

Another social Problem.

The Oneida Community has long been nm
bodies in the United States, and the
sentiments of the various churches
found expression yesterday in con-
vention, which was held Mt Syra-
cuse, and attended by prominent
members of several denominations. AS
Wa, admitted by the prime mover Of the
newly organized opposition. the members
of the Oneida Community are ''good
citizens orderly and cleanly in the
manner in which they conduct their
homes" but it is useless to deny
that their habit of holding women
as well as property in common is one which
civilization cannot regard with favor or re-
spect. 1t must be admitted that they are
not breaking any existing lays, and that
their refraining from proselyting relieves
them from the suspicion, so unavoid-
able when the Mormon problem is
considered, that their peculiar faith is
stimulated by uncontrolled animal pas
sions The character and reputation OF the
community and its members are so coed
that probably no legal action will ever be
taken by their immediate neighbors, who
know them best and who dislike the
peculiar feature OF the organization
as much as other respectable people
do. The fact remains, however. that
woman as transferable property, whether
on grounds material or spiritual $50 called)
is to the great majority Of humanity an
idea too abhorrent and unnatural to be en-
tertained for an instant, dnd that those who
so regard her must exist by sufferance and
not because of respect for their peculiar
theories. 1t is possible for the Oneida
Community, by exercising what, according
to their spokesmen, would not be great
degree of self-denial, to quash all opposi-
ton present or prospective by yielding
that peculiar feature of their practice which
gives offence. They claim not to be
lustful or immoral, and the public
would gladly believe as much of any body
of people so industrious and inoffensive;
but self-denial, in one way or another,
has, ever since Christianity was insti-
tuted, been necessary to an agree
ment between the many bodies pro-
Tossing the same faith Aside from
their customs regarding the sexual re-
lation the Oneida Communists are valu.

these swill fed COWS has been aware of the

paper has done the same but the Board of
Health has folded its hands while the
owners of these stables tratficked on public

THE WEATIIER.--IIigh pressures have moved
from the Northwest into the Central Mississippi
Valley, and the barometer has CONNIE need to
fall again in the region of Manitoba and west
ward. The barometer is also relatively low off
the South Atlantic coast, where an undulation
Of the isobar occurred, which created something
like the development of "a local disturbance
that was dissipated again during yesterday
afternoon. The storm centre which was leav-
ing Newfoundland has moved rapidly east
ward over the Atlantic, followed by clear or
fair weather. The snowfall yesterday ex-
tended over the Middle States and the lake re-
gion in small areas. Last night il lasted in this
city for more than an hour, just coating the
pavement with white. Very heavy snow is re-
ported from the Northern Pacific coast and
chiefly from Vancouver's Island where the
storm was fatal in its severity. Temperatures
have fallen in all tho districts east of the Mis-
sisspp, but have risen slightly in the North
west before the advance of another de-
preston. The cold in Canada is reported
Go be intense AS low az forty degrees below
zero is recorded. On the approach of another
rainfall and thaw serious ireshets will probably
occur in our rivers, and these may be aggra-
waited by ice gorgcs. Over England the baroni-
etcr is low. but the winds on the south and west
coasts are moderate. In New York and its
vicinity to-day the weather will be cold aud
partly cloudy, with increasing westerly wind.

As an elegant hair dressing stands Par
ker's Hair Balsam, deservedly popular
for the beautiful hair it produces, and
its cleansing and healing properties.
Commencing at the roots, it promotes a
luxuraint growth of young hair, and un-
failingly restores gray or faded hair to
the original youthful color, giving soft,
rich and lustrous appearance of great
beauty. 1t is pleasantly cooling to the
scalp, cleanses it from Dandruff, cures
itching and humOrs, and stops falling of
the hair. 1t is perfectly harmless, ex-
quisitely perfumed, never soils the skin
or gums the hair, and pleases everybody
by its many excellent and attractive
qualities. A patron assures us he has
used II different hair preparations and
that Parker's Hair Balsam surpasses
them all. Sold in large bottles, at only
80 cts. and Sl.OO, by u. Wayne Griffin
d Bro, and druggists generally.
