New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-04-02

wonder. The Verdict was plainly miscarriage
of justice. The murderer is one of n band OF
scoundrels that make light of the law. They
are as ready to perjure themselves to clear
friend as they are to pull their pistols on an
enemy. II is true that the murdered man was
no better than the murderer, and was ruiian
of whom the world was well rid. But that
was no reason for acqllitting Tracey Some Oh
Miler's friends who are good shots threaten
to take Tracey's life, and New-York seems
menaced with vendetta. Mr.. O'Byrne talks
darby of vigilance committee. All this Is
rather depressing to people who believe that
the methods Of a mining camp are out OF
place in metropolis.
In our cable dispatch Mr.. Smalley emphasizes
the fact that Mr.. Lowell has done all that
could he expected of him in behalf of the Irish
American suspects. SO long as Sweeney
and his friends are within English territory
they owe temporary allegiance to the British
Government, and are amenable to the laws.
If any Englishman comes here and disturos
the peace he is quickly locked up. That Is the
proper punishment for any American cltZeh
who msbehaves himself in ireland or any
place else But all this cutlery is intended
merely for noise There is probably nobody
locked up in any Jail who wants to get out
less than these Irish American martyrs, ana no
one would be so sorry to see them released as
their sympathizers in this country, for then the
suspects would have to go to work to earn
living more or less honest, and the takers
would have nothing to grOwl about.
The architect of the new Opera House, in a
talk reported elsewhere, describes the features
of the building in such way that there Will
be a general feeling Of qualification that the
stockholders have decided to go on with the
work. The two things most important III
place of amusement are, OF course, safety ana
comfort, and these, ii appears, Will be secured
IN a more complete, thorough and generous
way than in any of our existing theatres or
halls. In precautions against fire and in ar
engagements for the easy and quick escape of
the audience if fire should start, this building
will go further than any we now have. The
TRIBUNE recently showed how little the theatre
managers had really done since the Vienna ca
Iamity to lessen the danger in their houses.
Not only the lovers OF opera, butall who believe
in having thoroughly good model of what
theatres and opera houSos Should be set before
the eyes of proprietors of other places OF
amusement, will be impatient fox the compile
ton of the new Opera House.
"To the pure all things are pure is one Of
those aphorisms which have to be taken with
enough grains of salt to make another back
glancng Lots wife. To go no further chan a
common article of human natures daily focd,
to the pure a good deal that passes for milk is
not pure. Last winter the Legislature passed
q law to prevent the aduteratiOn of food and
drugs. and the State Board Of Health appointed
eight experts, including chemists and pharma-
csts, and to each was assigned group of
foods or drugs for examination. Professor
c. +. Chandler, of this city, presents the L.
port on milk. He finds that the "sopnistica-
tons" of this estimabie and popular
fluid are extremely common" SiXty-tlmee
creamcries" are known to send skinned
milk to this city, all of which is sold as whole
milk. Professor Chandler further reports that
brewers grains when used in moderate proper
tons with good pasture, or hay, etc, produce
no evil results either in the quality of the milk
or in the condition Of the COWS. But the cX
cessive use of grains has very bad effect on
the cows. The condensed milk, as sent to
customers in this city, was carefully analysed,
and found, except in one OF two cases, to be
unObjcctionable and of good strength.
