his speech at the Lord Mayors banquet at
GuIldhall he explains and interprets the Im-
perial policy in short CLOSES of his own so
artificial and specious that the sopbistry shows

had the temerlty TO lay such undue stress
upon the activity in the chemical trade and a
slight fuctuation in the value of silver as in
fallible indications of the return of COM

stiuctor in the City College.
Evidently the conviction of an election IN
spector was needed. Like the shooting OF
deserter from the army. 1t has had an excel
lent moral effect. 0uI Supervisors have been
frightened into the discovery that nearly all
of the returns made i'm this city are informal,
and do not comply strictly with the letter OF
the law II is estimated that not ten OF the
645 returns made to the Supervisors are
legally correct. The law requires that a speol-
men of every ballot cast i'll an election
district shall be affixed to the return.
aud that the number of ballots cast
shall be written partly on the ballot and
partly on the return. This provision of the
law is rarely complied with. and it is eminently
proper that the inspectors should be forced TO
observe il. Unless the whole of the law is
obcyed, we can never be sure that the time Is
not near when none of it will be obeyed.
Therefore We repeat that the conviction on
Tuesday OF an election inspector served an
excellent purpose. in general as well as in
particular. The canvassers oi the present and
the inspectors ard canvassers Of the future are
likely to profit by it.

An enterprising forger was captured yester-
day. He had used his position as a book
keeper to set aioat forged notes and checks
which his employer was called upon to pay.
and when he was caught, just upon the eve
Of fight, he had his pockets supplied with
small change in the way of forged checks,
the whole amount reaching $1,000. And this
exceedingly clever individual was ignomin-
iously captured like any sneak thief. I;'s a

In this age OF steam It seems strange To find
fierce controversy raging over the question
whether the pilOt-boats OF this port shall be pro-
PEELED by steam or sail, and, above all, to see
the Pilot Commissioners using their authority
If they have ito forbid the use of steam
boat The meaning of the dispute lies In the
fact that considerable capital has been invested
in the sail boats now in use, and the pilots nat
urally dread the loss that they may sustain. But
steam wins in any controversy. Ii is plain
that the use of a steam pilot-bOat will be for
the public comfort and convenience. and the
attempt to stop the progress of such an i'm
prOvement with official resolutions is ms
absurd as bull against the comet. The comet
usually survived. and the Pilot Commissioners
should make note of that fact.
