own Iabors for many years, is more than a
great loss to science-it is a personal tragedy
which must arouse the sympathy Of the I'M
lettered and the learned alike. The descrip-
ton printed on another page shows how ter
rble the grief of the celebrated scholar was.
In the universal coincidence of his countrymen
even the awful crime of his having participated
in the revolutions of thirty years ago is for
gotten. Maglanimity could hardly go further
than this. 1t is pleasant to be assured that
he is already taking courage to renew his
work. Nieb6hr. when he suffered q some
what similar loss, to which reference Is made,
was a younger man by ten years, and re-
placed his destroyed manuscripts in year.
This is more than Professor Mommsen can
do. but the brave way in which he has begun
again, at sixty-two. the work of almost life
time raises the hope that he will complete it
yet.
1t will soon be in order for the psychologists
to take up the morals of street-car drivers as
q class. 1t is the conductor who has usually
been regarded as an avaricious and un-
scrupulOus person, growing rich by the
quiet absorption of nickels, and glad OF the
privilege of working fourteen hours day for
the sake of these opportunities for the ac-
emulation of illicit wealth. The driver has
usually been the object of public sympathy
as the honest, Woodworking man who bears
the brunt of the bad weather and turns
the brake, though few very shrewd people
have suspected that he wickedly divides
the unholy gains of the conductor. But two
cases of such total depravIty on the part
OF drivers have now been exposed that
their moral rating clearly needs revis-
ion. The first was the conspiracy of the
Third Avenue car-drivers by which a
verdict of $4,000 was obtained against
that company. The other is made known on
another page. In this case a car-driver, having
q highly adjustable daughter whose cOllarbOne
was permanently In state of admirable dis
location alleged that she had received the injury
in the elevated railroad collision of March, 1879,
and fraudulently obtained $4,000 damages.
The public will be bitterly grieved at the
thought that any one should attempt
to defraud companies which, it is well
known, get all their money so hon
estly from the community, and will
Indignantly repel the suggestion that those
who take the sword must perish, as it were
by the ploughsbare. There will be wonder
also, and mystifcation, at the demOralizing
nature of the occupation of driving car
horses.

fact, if it was not so before. The Democratic
and Greenback State Committees i'll secret
sessions Yesterday decided on fusion. The
issue is made therefore, and the Democratic
party shoulders all the infamies OF GarceOn.
There never was a campaign where the duty
of honest men was clearer, and it will be
strange if the election returns do not show
that they saw it and did it.
Every new development in the Narragansett
Investigation only adds to the guilt of those
who are responsible for the collision. Cap
taing YOung's second appearance as a
witness, which was made yesterday, was even
less creditable than his first, both with
respect to the thoroughness with which
the owners of the boat had done their
duty and the zeal with which he
did his. The necessity of more frequent in
spections of all such boats has led the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury to issue a circular. upon
that subject to all the Supervising Inspectors,
which will be found in our Washington dis
patches. 1t is a curious fact that the law
does not authorize the Department TO re-
quire these frequent examinations. The
Secretary can accomplish his object only by
directing that when an examination has been
made the results shall be reported
The city authorities should put a stop to
such drains upon the Treasury as the lawyers
bills in municipal cases are growing to
be. The legal charges in the Inspectors
of Elections case and the Wheeler and Nichols
cases amount to $42 900. Some of the charges
are no doubt fair, especially when made by law
yers of established reputation who do not make
living out of politics But the charges of the
political lawyers are really absurd. One firm
asks round SIC, 900 for its services in the In
spectors of Elections quarrel. Another charges
$500 for advising two Police Commissioners
to obey a decision of the Supreme Court.
There is just one rule for all these cases. The
city should pay all that private persons would
pay for the same service, and no more. To
all the pockets of Democratic lawyers out of
the city treasury under pretence of paying
them for legal services, is form OF patron
age to which q very ugly name could be
kiyen.

It is not little comical that the Manhattan
Beach special patrol-boat, manned by New-York
police officers, should thus far have captured only
police officers violating the law But we are con-
WINGED that the street-cleaping brigade does not
furnish oil the offenders who illegally dump refuse
OF Sandy Hook. Incoming vessels throw their
refuse away they approach tho harbor. and 1t Is
pretty certain that tho Dock Department scows are
sometimes unloaded Just of the beach. A few ar
rests and convictions Of the latter offenders will
undoubtedly have salutary effect on them. as 1t
has had on the police officials.
