A treaty which should allot Tarapaca to
Chill and assign the districts Of africa and
Tacna, which adjoin 1t on the north, to
Bolivia. would, OF course, DO welcome at La
Paz, and would be less obnoxious to the
Peruvians than any terms which their con-
queror has offered during the last twelve
month. In view, moreover, OF the rancor
engendcred by the war. 1t seems to be an
essential condition OF lasting peace
that Chill and Peru should not be con-
terminous. The interposition Of a tongue
of Bolivian territory would probably serve
as a guarantee against speedy resumption
OF hostilities. 1t might, therefore, BIO wiser
and cheaper in the end for Chill to approve
the offer attributed to Admiral MoNTERo, on
condition, OF COURSE that Chili's title to
Tarapaca and to the old Bolivian coast strip
lying south Of that province should be
formally recognized by the parties In interest

above figures from tho Alaska Coast Pilot,
that the winter climate Of southeastern
Alaska for forty-Hve years past has been the
average winter climate Of Kentucky and
West Virginia, and the average summer eli

this region is due to the warm japan current
OF the Pacific, the Kuro-Siwo. Generally OF

The District Attorneys OHice-Shame.
full Neglect OF Duty.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ece-linJ
Post, on Friday called attention in this para
graph to most dscreditable occurrence:
Tho Court OF General Sessions adjourned to-day
prosecuting officer was in court fact upon
which Judge CowrSG commented severely"
Section 500 Of the new codification Of the
laws relating to the city of New York, which
sa concise statement OF the existing statutes
relating to the compensation OF tho District
Attorney and his assistants, provides:
1.-THE District Attorney shall receive for his services
as such District Attorney yearly salary Of twelve
thousand dollars which shall be paid in equal monthly
payments There shall be four Assistant District At
torneys for said county who shall each receive yearly
salary of seven thousand Ave hundred dollars"
We understand that Mr.. McKEoN, the Dis
trict Attorney, is ill, and consequently he
cannot be held responsible for his own absence
from court on Friday. But where were his
assistants :?
These gentlemen are JOHN r. FELLOWS,
AUGUSTUS J. REQUIER, JOHN VINCENT, and
JOHN O'BYRNE. With the possible excep-
ton of Mr.. FELLOWS, it may be doubted
whether any one Of them ever enjoyed a net
Income from his private law practice of
$500 year. Their appointment, in every
case but his, was professional promotion, and
1t was their business to show that they de-
served this advancement. Instead OF doing
30, it would appear that they ilagrantly
neglect their duties. If not, how did it
happen that there was no prosecutor in at
tendance before Judge CowING at the time
we have mentioned?
If the Assistant District Attorney who
ought to have been there had been liable to
lose his salary for the day if he did not at
tend, the court would never have been
obliged to adjourn on account OF his absence
Public officers must be made to do the
work the people pay them for.

A word or two about Sultans. ABDUL
MEDJID died more than twenty years ago. Be-
yond question. he is very dead. The present
Sultan is his son. ABDUL HAND.
In the highly interesting and important ac-
count of this Suftans madness published in
The Sun day before yesterday. our corre-
spohdent. who is now and has been for years q
resident OF Constantinople inadvertently
spoke of him once as ABDUL MEpJID. and the
error was repeated in head line. Nowhere
else throughout the letter was the crazy Sultan
improperly designated.
The mistake is to be regretted, like all lapses
from strict accuracy. But there may be some
compensation in the fact that it has served to
show what wealth of Information respecting
Turkish affairs and the East generally ia pos
sessed by some Of our most esteemed contcm-
poraries. We have no doubt that If in the
course of o column about Gen. ARTHUR he
should be once misnamed President ADAMS or
President BUCHANAN. tho error would be
promptly detected and exposed by both the
World and the Graphic.

If incompctency were crime, the Emigra-
ton Commissioners. who are being investi-
gated bya Senate committee could take refuge
under the shield Of our State Constitution and
refuse to testify on the ground that they would
incrminate themselves. The testimony that
the Commissioners give against their own
management OF things is enough to warrant a
clean sweep in that department. If the State
cannot be rid OF this wrangling and fighting
Board. tho Legislature ought to change the
name OF its meeting place from Castle Garden
to Bear Garden and direct that signs be put up

settlement" at all. According to these
figures he "settled" for one-flfteenth part Of
the debt.
Mr.. McCANNoN docs not mako the slight
est reference to this enormous discrepancy.
He passes 1t over as trine unworthy Of
mention. w. II. ARMSTRONG was appointed
to fill tho vacancy Of FRENCH. His report
follows the example Of his predecessor, and
takes no notice OF the two and o quarter
millions due on Dec. 81, 1880. And bis
statement OF tho Central Pacific account
for the year Is ascertained from the gem
eral books Of the company in San Francisco
by the bookkeeper OF this bureau" He took
the corporations figures.
These successive omissions are most ex-
traordinary, and arc made more so because
FRENCH, before he was captured by tho Cen
trail Pacific exposed habtual frauds OF that
corporation, whilo Mr.. ARMSTRONG can find
nothing but loud praise for its management.
The SUN took occasion last summer to con-
denim the conduct OF this important official,
when he started out on u tour Of pleasurable
inspection with his family and party of
friends in special train provided with every
luxury by this corporation, upon the concerns
Va
the Government. 1t was an indecent exhibit

addition to our judiciary system. 1t is the in
vention Of Secretary TELLER, and a court is to
BIO set up on each Indian reservation 10 try
offenders against new code that Mr.. TELLER
promulgates. The court is to consist OF three
Judges. selected from the tribe by the Indian
agent The Judges are to be paid 500
month. and are to have jurisdiction
over a variety OF prescribed Offences
such as sun dances. bear dances. scalp dances
war dances. nominations OF medicine men,
polygamy. and the like. Some novel decisions
may be expected from these red Judges but
they can hardly commit any absurdity that
they cannot find precedent for in the acts Of
some of our petty but high salaried magis-
trates in New York. On reading the list Of
