NO EXCUSE FOR THE POLICE.

The policy adopted by the Police Commits
sioners of holding the Police Captains and In
spectors responsible for the continuance OF
gambling and for violations of the Excise law,
is the plain and simple course long ago recon-
mended in THE TRIBUNE as the only practi-
cal plan. And there Is nothing unjust in it {;
though we observe that some Of the captains
claim that they will be unable to comply with
the strict and arbitrary demands of the Com
missioners. If they fail to do their duty 1t will
be for two reasons-incompetency or COLLISION
with the offenders and either would be justi-
fable cause for removal. 1t is not unjust to
the officers, for under the order they can
compel known offenders to "move onn and
it Ia not unjust to tho offenders, since, being
violators of the laws, they have no rights to
be respected, except the right to reform. It
is not q plea deserving consideration which
Captains occasionally make, that they are
ignorant of the presence Of criminals In their
precincts; since no person deserves to be
Captain who remains ignorant of abuses so
fragrant and criminals so bold that they at
tract the attention and denunciation of the
public press. We know the Captains can do
their duty, and we believe. now that the
Police Commissioners have emphatically told
them what public sentiment had already jest
as emphatically told the Commissioners must
be done, that the work will be accomplished.
Years ago the gamblers and lottery men
were driven from the city through the efforts
of the public press and that, too, when they
were in their greatest strength under the pro-
lection of the Tweed RlRg. The TRIBUNE at
the time published o list Of not less than iOs
gambling houses in the city. and gave an ac-
count of their operations under the protection
of the police. The next night raids were

made upon all the places named. without war
rants. without whiting for any other eu-
dence. and without notice to the OF
tenders. The result was that nine-tenths
of the places were closed, and large
majority of them never opened again. In tue
same way the lottery and policy shops whlcn
had been doing business with scandalous pup
licity were closed for time, and Tor years
operated only in secret manner. Lately the
concern known as the Louisiana State Lot
tery. driven from the State which had repealed
its charter, made this city its headquarters
and conducted its swindle with such brazen
impudence that public indignation was again
aroused. 1t will be matter of public con-
graduation il this and other like concerns are
suppressed together.
To stamp it out effectually gambling should be
made as dangerous as it is already obnoxious /;
and this only the police can do, by constant
vigilance 1t is possible and indeed probable
that men determined to gamble will find
some means of doing so; but the gamblers
who provide places of resort for them should
be forced so to conduct their business that it
will not be q public scandal, an offence to
law abiding citizens, and temptation to the
inexperienced young. 1t needs no Justices
warrant to do this much, and the Captain
who, after the order of President French de-
Hvered on Thursday, pleads the lack OF
authority the further need of legal assistance
or ignorance of the offences complained of,
may expect to find himself written down in
the public estimation, if not in the record OF
his superior officers, as an accomplish.

many disbeIievers partly account OF its improb-
able features but chiefly because of the natura In
credulity of the human mind; but it should by no
means be set down as necessarily untrue and q
deliberate fabrication to deceive It is not without
parallel in this city. In hundreds of similar cases OF
which the world knows nothing, the mystery has been
cleared up and then kept hidden, in sorrow and
silence by the relatives. In others the police have
solved the difficulty and helped to conceal the real
trouble But IN still other instances the mystery
remains as great to-day at the time Of the occur
renee, and yet the persons have not been doubted
nor have they been injured in reputation. The fact
that the young in the recent case was in the
habit of taking large quantities Of powerful drug
will be thought by many persons to warrant her
story.
On April 1, or thereabouts the third exhibition OF
paintings and objects of art loaned TO the
Metropolitan Museum will be opened. We
wish to direct the attention of the art
lovers of New-YOrk to the fact that
instead of storing their fine paintings during sum-
mer, they would do much better to loan their
treasures to the exhibition where they will be kept
constantly under the supervision Of trained experts
and be admired by thousands Of citizens. 1t will be
O public-spirtei act to make such loan and will
help to form public taste in matters Of painting and
sculpture. We lay special stress on the fact that the
building ia entirely tireproof and that delicate art
objects are always placed In glass case so as to be
absolutely safe.

The attention of all those correspondents
kyho have been discussing in our columns the
unhappy lot of wel-bred working women, will
be rveted by q minor paragraph OF our spe-
tial cable dispatches. A new club, with
h,3OO members, all of the gentler sex,
Is to be opened in London this week for the
benefit of unfortunate but respectable gentle
women. The list Of membership includes
peeresses and seamstresses, so that within this
fold, at least, sensitive woman who stoops to
labor will be secure from snubs and snobs.
The legal status of Old Probabilities has
been argued in the local courts The excur-
hion steamer Rockaway was lost in a storm
while being towed by the Wyanoke from
Norfolk to New-YOrk. Her owner was on
board the Wyanoke when the vessels passed
Fortress Monroe, and he called the attention OF
the master to the storm signals that were dis
played. The master considered the signals
bf no consequence, and put OUT to sea in de-
fianee of the warnings. The present suit is
faken the tow, and the decision will be one
Of real importance.
A years title tattle about the Baroness Bur-
fiett.Coutts's middle-llte romance has made
beople forget all the good that remarkable wo'
man has done. An article which we reprint
: to-day from o London journal will refresh the
memories of our readers and enable them to dc
Justice to one whose name has been used toe
lightly. One of the best features of the wide
reaching scheme OF benefcence which is there
outlined Is the constant personal supervision
which she has given to all her good works.
Charity with her has implied an elaborate sys-
tcm of mechanism, every cog and wheel falling
binder her eye.
The City Of Elizabeth Is between the for
tieth and forty-irst degrees of latitude, and
geographically must be classed among the
Northern centres Of population, and so far as

The election IN East Cumberland is a brac-
ing success for the English Liberals. The
death of q Conservative member had given
the Hon. James Lowther, Lord Beaconsfeid
Secretary for Ireland, chance of retrieving
his misfortune in the general election nc

and the Liberal candidate, George James
Howard. is successful IN dlstrlc'
which has been uniformly Conservative
The vote ia very close-3,071 to 3,041. This
victory will tend to reassure the Liberals at
moment when their embarrassments are null
tiplying; for our London correspondent teie-
graphs that the conviction is deepening Ill

One of the most rational explanations OF Une
renewal of the obstruction tactics In the House
of Commons this session Is this' the Home
Rulers were anxious to prove that coercion
was unnecessary. The Queens Speech was
read on January 6. and the debates on the
Irish question have dragged along for nearly
two months before one of the measures which
the Ministry pronounced Of urgent necessity
has been passed. The inference which the
Irish members would have the public draw
from these proceedings Is that force
policy which could safely be deferred
for two months could be postponed indefinitely.
This argument was met by Mr. Forster.
our London correspondent telegraphs, in his
closing speech on Friday night. He refuted
the assertion that outrages have ceased and
that the Island is now quiet and peaceful.
He proved, probably from official statements
made by the magistrates and constabulary
force, that the record for January was worse
than that of any other month since 1914 with
two exceptions, November and December OF
last year. Happily q reaction against the
lawlessness of Land League law Is already
