The Los. OF the NordenskjoId.

The loss of the rescue steamer Nordensk-
jold will probably cause no greater damage
than to put Mr.. Alexander Sibriakof, the
Russian capitalist. out of pocket for the
amount of her value, or rather TO affect the
insurance companies to that extent, for,
no doubt, Mr. Sibiriakoff took the preeau-
ton to insure her. She was, We believe,
specially built for the purpose of going to
the relief of the Vega, then known to be
icebound near Behring Strait, and be-
lieved to be in need of assistance after her
extraordinary voyage from Sweden to the
North Pacific. The news had no sooner
been received than Mr.. SibiriakoH, with
praiseworthy enterprise, gave orders for
the preparation of a vessel, which he
christened the Nordenskjold, and fitted
wholly at his own expense for the voyage
Of relief, if not OF rescue. In private
letter, dated at Zurich, January %, he
wrote:-
am very glad to hear that the Jeanette is going
through Behring Strait and that she will render
every assistance in her to Professor Nordensk

practicable. will make the assistance unnecessary.
Tie Nordenskj0ld started via the Suez
Canal and China Seas for Behring Strait
in May and had completed the greater part
Of h her voyage when she was wrecked. AS
the Vega, with Nordenskj0ld and his party,
is now believed to be safe, if not, indeed, al
ready on her way homeward, the Nordensk-
j0ld's errand would have been fruitless
one, though rejecting great credit upon
its protector. Her loss is therefore unlikely
to be an injury to anybody except the in
surance companies.

not true, as everybody knows. When the
people had been shown the rascality of the
Tweed Ring they swept that combination
of powerful and corrupt men from power
at once. But if they had had simple
charter making the Mayor responsible they
would have known how to prevent the for
nation of such ring. The difficulty with
our present system of boards and COM
missions is that it prevents even decent
and reputable men from giving us honest
and efficient government. What can be
more scandalous than to see the Police
Board, composed of two of each party,
appointed by the Mayor and Governor. and
responsible to nobody, quarrelling over the
appointment of inspectors of election, not
on the ground that bad men are presented
to them, but because each party waits to
see If it can get bargain out of one faction
of the other by which the inspectors shall be
used for partisan purposes? Mayor Cooper
would not dare to do or to tolerate such a
thing if he were responsible it would dis
grace him. But it is done by board-a
commission. If he is asked he will say he
has no power over them. II they are asked
each will lay the blame on the other. and
so the game goes.

Another Quintuple.

AS the HERALD to-day contains nine
pages of advertisements we are forced to
issue quintuple sheet in order to make
room for the news. In q quintuple HERALD
there is the equivalent OF five ordinary four
page newspaper sheets, or twenty pages.
With paper of this size we have eleven
pages left on which to give the news OF the
day, and while advertisers gre thus accom-
modated the public is supplied with an
abundant record of current events in
the city and by the seaside, at
the springs and in short oil over the
country and at the other side Of the ocean.
Our recent show of crowded advertising
columns is good sign for business in the
city and general activity in the commercial
world, and for such paper as we print to-
day to come in at the close Of August is an
evidence of good start for fall trade. 1t
is also an evidence that the heads of adver-
tisers are level as usual, and that they
know how to get at the public and put their
money where it will do most good.

sided in Berlin, offered for salo in the ofce Of

Edison still continues to astonish the scien-
tifc world with his discoveries. His electro
chemical telephone. exhibited before the Science
Association yesterday, is immensely in advance
Of the instrument wholly mechanical, which for
year has been repeating all it heard in way
that terrified owners of guilty consciences. The
now instrument makes its utterance distinctly
heard throughout large room, and the inven-
tor enlarges upon it's positive value to distant
singers, lecturers, &c. But think of its value
to the manager of political campaignl He
can reach every primary or other meeting that
may be held on single night; and, better yet,
the instrument can tell two entirely different
stories at the same time. Nothing since the
tissue paper ballot has promised such u radical
change in political methods.

Falling Into Line.

Our esteemed contemporary, the World,
is, We are glad to see, falling into line in
the matter OF the exclusion from newspaper
columns Of what it rightly calls ''social
garbage" We reprint in another column
an article in which the World speaks in the
proper spirit of the wrong of publishing
private scandals. We agree with our con-
temporary that the vulgar itch for noto-
riety often leads men, and even women, to
rush to the press with their private griev-
ances, and that great deal OF such matter
is not sought for even by those newspapers
who print it, but is thrust upon them. But
this, after all, does not excuse the news
papers, who are bound to use discrimina-
tion and Judgment.
The World relates story concerning the
latest bit of social garbage. which most
men connected with the daily press will
recognize at once as true and characteristic.
"On Wednesday evening"" it says, "a story
imputing the most scandalous misconduct
to an aged and eminent citizen was offered
been received by telegraph from Chicago,
in which city it had been that morning
published by the Chicago Times. 1t was
declined by US for several reasons" If the
public know half or even quarter of the
extent to which the business of offering
filth of this kind to the newspapers
is carried it would be amazed and
alarmed but not only that-it would
give the great body Of the press of this
country far more credit for careful and up
right conduct than it is accustomed to.
The number of men--and women, we are
sorry to say-who seek to use the press as
medium to revenge their private griefs or
affronts, or who would like to use it as a
lever for the raising OF blackmail, is much
greater than the public supposes. Fortu-
nately the number Of newspapers in this
country willing to lend themselves to such
base uses in the hope of gaining large
public is constantly decreasing. The
American press is respectable and we be-
lieve we do not 60 too far when we say that
il is even more respectable than its public.

Progress Toward Protestant Unity.

A conference of representatives of the
various Protestant churches to-day begins
it's deliberations in the old Swiss city
Basle. The reassembling Of this great un-
denominational congress, after an interval
of six years, is On event of considerable inn
portance in the history OF Professionalism.
Since it's last session at New York in 1873
Professionalism has made long strides toward
unity. The barriers of creed and the fan
tastes of bigotry have been much levelled
and broadened. twill be remembered that
q feature of the New York meeting was
violent attack by the Missionary Bishop OF
Zanzibar, who had never been heard OF be-
fore and hos not been since, upon those
ministers of the Church of England who
partook of the sacred communion at the
same table with dissenters. The effect Of
the TRADE was most wholesome upon the
entire Protestant Church Every effort has
been made since that day to close up the
ranks, and the present session will, it is to
be hoped be productive OF even further
advance toward liberality and Christian
charity.

street DISTINCTIONS.

Since the Department of Public Works is
fully authorized by the decision of the Su-
preme Court and has actually taken the
proper steps to proceed to the demolition
of all booths and stands that encroach upon
the public streets and squares, we may
hope with reasonable confidence that the
public will be able to get an actual view Of
some important public edifices-such for
instance, as Washington Market. Who has
ever seen Washington Market, and how
many New Workers, resident all their lives
in the city, can actually figure to them
selves the appearance that structure would
present stripped Of the fungus growths Of
sheds that surround it on every side? Per-
haps the city may be the richer in markets
if the people shall ever become really ac-
ouainted with what their markets are, for
the knowledge must certainly lead
up to clamor for the construction of
some new ones. But with the markets
clear and tho booths sent forever
to the limbo of municipal rubbish,
what do the authorities intend to do in re-
gard to that next important obstruction Of
the public streets-the horde of market
wagons from Canarsie, Flatbush, Newtown,
Flushing and those parts, with the cataract
of cabbages, corn, beets and other pictur-
esque 'greens" that they let loose upon the
city on all the market days. We cannot
afford to drive those fellows out. They are
an important element in the regular supply
of city dinner tables, and We can better
afford to give them premiums than to refuse
to give them place. Yet we cannot afford
to have them where they are. Even in dull
times the streets are blocked for an hour
often because of their presence, and in this
business season they are great evil. Once
upon time it was proposed to set apart q
space for their use. What has become of
that excellent project?

The Last Day OF summer.

According to the calendar to-day is the
last day of summer. No person of expe-
rience in American weather will pack away
his thin clothing on being reminded of the
date, for September always brings some
days in which thermometer is the most
enraging thing in existence. Neither will
any one who went into the country to enjoy
Nature in her smiling moods prepare to
hurry home on learning that it is the last
day of August, for hillside and seaside are
more beautiful, more suggestive, more full
of changes, most of which are delightful, in
September and October than in the two
preceding months. There are no other two
months of the out of town season in
which so much pleasure can be gained
in the country and SO much benefit done
to health, as the two that are yet to come,
and yet trains coming into New York to-
morrow will bring an unusual number of
family trunks and baby carriages, the
passenger cars will contain several times as
many women and children as men, and all
OF these people, even those who have spent
O most enjoyable season, will show plainly
by looks and actions that they are delighted
at the prospect of getting back to New York

what Do the Republicans Want :

Do the republicans wish to carry or to
lose the State this fall2 That is really the
question they are to decide on Wednesday.
If they want to lose the State they need
only nominate Mr.. Cornell. When party
nominates grievance it pretty certainly
marches to defeat, especially when that old
sore does not affect even all of the party,
and when the public cares nothing ut all
about it.
Mr. Conkling does not like Mr.. Hayes,
therefore the republicans-a good many of
whom do like Mr.. Hayes are asked TO
nominate Mr.. Cornell And then the
pretence is that the Cornell people
want to carry the STATED Nobody
will believe it, that is the only diff
about among politicians that the anti-ad-
ministration republicans had made up
their minds to lose Ohio and Maine this
fall by way OF bringing supposed dis
grace on the President. We have not heard
that it was proposed also to lose Now York I;
but this notion Of forcing the nomination
of Mr.. Cornell looks very much like it. It
is not very safe or very reputable game
to play, and only desperate men will ven-
ture on it. We do not regard Mr.. Conkling
as desperate man by any means and we
prefer to believe that when the Convention
meets on Wednesday next he will produce
q candidate on whom all the republican
factions can cordially unite.
Any other course will be very injurious
to Mr.. Conkling, and tho anti-Conkling
men will chuckle to see him making SO gross
blunder. But he ought to act quickly.
He has but two courses open to him-to nc
cept the nomination himself, or to bring
forward generally acceptable candidate at
Once.

Tho Custer Monument.

Our report from West Point tells the story
of the uncovoring there yesterday of the
monument to General Custer. Addresses,
poems, music--all agreed to give due effect
to the ceremony Of the first exhibition on
its pedestal of grand memorial to one of
the most gallant fellows that ever fought
under our flag. AS sometimes happens on
these OCCASIONS the real success OF the day,
from an oratorical point of view, was
reaped by the man from whom least was
expected in that way-the quiet undemon-
strative but steady hearted old soldier
who accepted the monument in the name
OF the Academy. General Schofeld's ad-
dress was little masterpiece, as neat in
it's way and covering the ground as entirely
and as handsomely as famous short ad-
dress of Lincoln on the occasion of the
conservation OF the great cemetery at
Gettysburg. These few happily put to-
gethor words present 30 neatly the ethics
Of monuments to soldiers like Custer, or to

The Now Police Headquarters.

The Police Commission, or such of it as
there was in the good old times before the
messengers of the Mayor and Governor be-
gan to stagger painfully between New York
and Albany under mysterious and intoler-
ably heavy documents, effected temporary
organization yesterday at the Astor House
restaurant, and seemed for once to be of
single mind, although, to be sure, the mat
ter under discussion was only bill of fare.
If the sentiments of the gentlemen present
are indications of what is to be expected in
the early future it is quite probable
that such of the city's interests as
are not considered by Police Commits
sioners to be beneath their notice may be
cared for by two police boards, for General
Smith is ready to act officially with his old
associates, Mr.. Nichols expects to be ordered
by the courts to do likewise, while Messrs.
Morrison and MacLean have not the slight
est idea of ceasing to 60 through the mo-
tions of doing something. and Messrs.
French and Wheeler will be on good terms
with both boards, SO far as doing their full
share in the work of filing vacancies goes.
The idea of having two boards is, in the
abstract, an excellent one, although not at
all original. The plan was first devised in
Asia, where even to this day some coun-
tries have two kings, and appoint
two ministers of equal rank to q
single country, the theory being that they
will watch each other, and the public will
be saved from official laziness and dishon-
esty. If our two police boards could be
pitted against each other on the same prin-
oiple grateful public would willingly
stand the additional expense, even to the
extent of footing the restaurant bills of the
Astor House Board. With two boards
Watching each other and telling tales, as
would naturally follow, we might yet find
out what becomes of the money that is sup
posed to be spent for cleaning the streets,
and why butchers, blackguards and thieves
are SO tenderly retained on the police force.
The workings Of the new system cannot
fail to attract great public interest.
