4 FINE Field FOR DYNAMITE

O'Dynamite Rosa has been writing letter TO
himself threatening to blow himself up. This
shows the depression in the dynamite business to
be even greater than We had supposed. The pre-
cipiate conduct of the British police in arrestng
the patriots who were sent from this country to
blow mp London is undoubtedly the cbiet cause of
the encouragement which hus paralyzed the foreign
branch of the industry. Rosa. therefore, being
estoppsd from blowing up London and feeling an ir-
ropressible impulse to blow up something. turns
about aud thre 4tens to blow up himself OF course

1t is a relief to know that the distress and
suffering reported to be prevailing now in
Ireland are not so great as they have been
represented. Still, poverty and need are dire
on the Western and Southern coasts, and are
giving q great impulse to emigration. Prob
ably one hundred thousand poor Irish will
come to this country within the present year.
These facts emphasize the necessity of great
care on the part of the authorities at our diff
ferent seaports, to see that the local
poor boards of Ireland do not run
off their paupers upon us. Poor people who
are willing TO work are welcome here, but
poor people who cannot work, or will not we
do not want. The statements in the reports
of the United States Consuls in Irish cities,
which will be found summarized elsewhere in
this paper, also suggest that persons who are
so moved by sympathy for these poor creatures
as to give money to aid them, should look to
it that poor Irish men and women who arrive
here without penny are helped TO get on
their feet This would be much better than
sending contributions to Ireland to be ex-
pended nobody knows how. The Irish Emf
grant Society of this city does an excellent
work at Castle Garden, but its resources might
be enlarged to great advantage.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating Of
it. SO 1t will be with the Civil Service rules.
As promulgated by the President, they seem just
and likely to be tolerably efficient; but their merit
can only be determined finally after they have
been tested by application. Little fault is to
be found at present with the educational re-
qurements or tue qualifications as to age,
mental capacity or moral character. The
question of apportioning the appointments

The inquestin the case of the policeman, Fran
els Mallon, who was shot by Michael Sullivan
a few nights ago i'll Catherine-st., abounds in
morals that can hardly be drawn too often.
One of the most striking is that patients should
not BE- let out of lunatic asylums, even to oblige
friends, unless the doctors are sure that no
harm will fellow The asylums are 80 full,
and there has been so much said about keeping
people locked up who are sane, that it is natural
enough, perhaps, for the ply sicians to wish to
err on the popular side. They should not do
it, however. Another moral is that policemen
ought not to 20 too far in interfering with
people whom they see in the street. 1t was well
enough to question Sullivan, perhaps, and If
he acted suspiciously TO watch him closely, or if
there was ground for it to arrest him. But
when Sullivan told the officer civilly that he
lived close by, there was no call to push him
or even to order him home. 1t is not crime.
III New-York to be standing quietly in the
street near ones home, or far away from it, be it
day or night. Malon was a brave officer, and
his death is sincerely regretted. Sullivan
should be tried carefully to determine his
sanity and his responsibility. But after all,
there is an obvious lesson in the affair for
members o the police force to learn.

The Governor will do well to consider care
fully the objections that are made to the
Page Savings Bank bill, which is now in his
hands. To certain extent four hundred mill
ion dollars belonging to one million poor peo-
pie in this State are at stake. There is no
doubt that some change in the investments
permitted to savings banks is desirable. But
1t is of more consequence to the poor that their
hard earned savings should DO secure than
that they should be invested so as to get a high
rate of interest. The point is, Does the Page
bill weaken their present safety IL
is urged that the Governor, the Bank
ing Superintendent, the State Controller
and the State Treasurer are not sufficient
authority as to what are good investments
There is force in this objection, and also
In the assertion that the banks should be
kept as far as possible from the infu-
ences of Wal-st. But this much can be safely
said There is nothing in the act as it now
stands which makes it obligatory on savings
banks trustees to invest in any bonds which
the Governor and the other officials may ap-
prove unless they themselves see fit

The text Matt. IS, l, ''Who is great. est in the kingdom of heaven. |" Mir Hoffman has but recently returned from Germany, where he spent one year in study, He visited Rome and many other places of note. In the evening he spoke of Spurgeon's work whom he heard preach, of noted theo- logians of Germany whom he saw when abroad, and with whom he conversed such as Longe, Donner and others. At the close of his evenings familiar talk one of his auditors rose and in behalf of himself and all present thanked him for his graphic and interesting address. MT. H. is an excellent classical scholar, and bids fair to acquit him self most creditably in the professorship of mental philosophy, which he enters upon with the opening of the ensuing college year. He has declined an Amherst, (Mass.) profes- sorship of mathematics to accept the chair of philosophy named. Re was graduated at Amherst college, and at the Yale Theological Seminary. The Wesleyan University has been fortunate to secure him for instructor in one of her de- partmsnts. He entered college with view to fit himself for professorship in one, and so demeaned himself as to be indemand by the college before he felt that he was fitted to fill professors chair in any college.
