THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP.

The death of Mr. McKeon followed so close
upon the severe censure of his administration
by the Judges in Oyer and Terminer and the
General Sessions and also in the newspapers oil
Thursday morning, that only three or four OF
the latter alluded to the condition of his office.
Those which did were nOticeably unanimous
In cOndemning his assistants for much OF the
laxity of his administration and in urging upon
the Governor, in view of the serious and lament
able condition of this most important branch..of
the county government, the appointment OF a
man of ability without political complications.
The Commercial Aduertiser of last evening, TAX
ing the same view, urges in addition that the
Governor, in making an appointment, defer
largely to the recommendation of the Judges
who have most to do with the District Attorney.
This is sensible suggestion.
No one of the names thus far mentioned i'll the
newspapers of persons available as successors
of Mr. McKeOn is wholly acceptable The dis
satisfaction with Mr. McKeOn's administration
was so marked and peculiar that it was chiefiy.a
reflection on his whole staff of assistants in such
positive manner that none of them will an
swer. Of those named outside the District-At-
tOney's office, Mr.. Waterbury, ex-senator
Gross, BOurke Cochran, ex-senator Ecclesine
and Mr.. w. c. Traphagen are OF the objection
able class of professional politicians from whom
it is generally conceded the Governor ought
not to make a choice The discharge of little
Gunny" Bedford's name full in the face OF
the Governor did not have the reverberating
boom that he hoped for. Mr.. Peter b. Olney's
nomination would be at once understood as
boom for the nomination of next year, as he
would not be likely to accept appointment for
one year, except with view to reelection for
the full term; besides, Mr. Olney was beaten by
a Republican a few years ago and has no better
chance of united nomination now than then.
Mr.. Algernon S. Sullivan is doubtless more
pleasantly situated where he is, in an Office which
there is none to dispute with him, than ne
would be for single year as District Attorney.
Mr. Henry L. Clinton's talents do not lie in the
direction required and his private business is
so large that he would not abandon it for the
empty honor of this appointment. jerome Buck
well, Jerome would probably take it, if only
for the pleasure of talking the Judges and few
score jurymen to death.
Seriously, no names have been mentioned thus
far of men worthy the succession, excepting
those who would not take it as an appointment
for a single year. The Governor should not
make both haste and bunder in this matter.
Let him wait few days, and then give most
consideration to the recommendations of tho
Judges of the courts and the Judges elect who
will have most to do with the office.

OUR TASTEFUL CITY DEPARTMENTS.
II is the almost invariable custom of the heads
of municipal departments when making up
their estimates,to exceed by one-quarter or one
third the amount allowed by the Board of Esti-
mate and ApportiOnment the preceding year.
They argue that, while the Board of Appor-
tionment is not likely to grant the entire in
crease asked for, it will allow portion and
this is a clear gain. No matter what the excuse
may be for demanding an extraordinary allow
ance for one year, the department which re-
ceives it is sure the succeeding year to want
still more.
For the present year the total appropriated by
the Board of AppOrtionment was $50, &c.,
785 20. The revenues of the General Fund.
including dock and market rents Crot0n- water
taxes, ferry leases, ETC., amount to $4,000, 900,
which lessons the total TO be raised by taxation

pROCRFSS or THE ELISE

PROGRESS OF THE FALSE PROPHET.
Religious fanaticism is always infectious in
the imaginative East. IL FL Mahdi, after
eighteen months of triumphant progress in
Soudan, has defeated an Egyptian army led by
European officers, he becomes at once n COM
manding figure in the Mussulman world. DR..
Sweinfurth, the African traveller, described the
False Prophet year ago as FLOODED
Arab. Now the followers of Mahomet who con-
quered Arabia, Syria Egypt and Persia were
of Arabian stock; and it has been one of the
sacred traditions of Mecca that the sceptrc
should return to the old line of KOreish. The
Turk may believe that with the House of
Gilman Islam must fall, but the Arab in the
desert has been awaiting century after century
the overthrow of the armed caste which has
dominated the MOslem Empire. The Messianic
teacher whose advent pious Mussulmans have
predicted generation after generation, is an
Arab, not a Turk. The year Of Ell Mahdi's ap-
pearance in Soudan completed the twelfth cen
tury from the Hegira. 1t was therefore mys-
tic year, when Mussulmans would naturally ex
pect the approach of delivercr His Arabian
blood and the date of his appearance have nat
urally tended to promote a feeling of religious
fanaticism. If to these be added glorious tri-
umphs in the field, the imagination of the East
will be fascinated with new dreams of universal
conquest.
1t is true that the completion of every century
from the Hegira has been made the basis of
definite prophecies in the Mussuman world.
The Messianic teacher has been confidently ex-
pected in many mystic year, but he has not
come. Last year the rise of Arab was hailed in
Il e ~ i IL.
completion of prophecy. He, too, was an Arab,
and the year of his revolt against Christian
Europe, was one of sacred significance. But
religious faith in his mission was shaken as
soon as he was recognized as the champion Of
Egyptian nationality. 0rentals do not know
what nationality means. 1t is not one of those
religious conceptions by which their magma
ton is swayed. If Arab had appeared as the
leader in Holy War, bidding defiance to inf
dels and looking toward Mecca in expectation
of the coming of the promised Messiah, he
would have occupied a very different position in
relation to Jealous and dreamy Mussulmans.
AS 1t was, his revolt was easily suppressed aud
be was banished to Ceylon. Yet, while the at
tention of Europe was wholly taken up with the
campaign ending in Tel-el Kebir, another Arab,
emerging from his cave in the desert, was pro-
claiming a Holy War in Soudan. The faith
which he inspired year ago will be confirmed,
if, unlike Arab, he can win instead of losing
battles in the open field with European gen.
eral opposed to him.
A Mussulman revival under Arabian auspices
is fascinating theme with a wide range of
possibilities. The Sultan's influence over the
Mahometan world would be seriously impaired
if FL Mahdi, following up his victories in Soudan
with rapid march down the Nile, should be

College students generally are full OF wrath
because the authorities of Cambridge Uniyer-
sity have forbidden the Harvard football team
to play any more games until the rules OF the
sport have been changed. 1t does seem little
arbitrary to issue such an order now, just be-
fore the most interesting game of the season is
to take place. No particular harm would have
been done probably if the team had been al
lowed to fulfil all its present engagements
But in disappearing football as it is now gen.
orally played, the Harvard professors are en-
tirely right When the sport is carried on IN a
gentlemanly or even decent way, 1t is capital
fun for strong boys; but of late years the con-
tests have been disgraced by excessive pushing
and scrambling, and sometimes by fighting.
The team whose members were the most ruff
ianly have won. 1t was not skill that told,
but mere brute force brutally manifested. If
the Harvard authorities can stop this they will
do good thing.

The ridiculous superstition that Carroll, the
dishonest clerk in the Controllers office, carried
on his coupon frauds by himself is now dis
proved. Bennett" who sold the coupons to
the brokers, has finally been arrested and identi-
fed. His name is Thomas EnOs and he seems
to have been drawn into the business by Car
roll, with whom he was intimate. The arrest
should lead to more important disclosures, and
it probably will if Enos can be induced to tell
all he knows.

case has just been begun In one of the Bos-
ton courts the result of which will be awaited
with interest. 1t is the prosecution of firm of
druggists for selling adulterated drugs. The
firm in question may be innocent; but there are
others who arc not, for it cannot be doubted that
the adultcration of some of the more commonly
used drugs Is carried on to an alarming extent in
many cities. Doctors complain bitterly OF the
difficulty of getting pure medicines, and many OF
them have taken to filling their own prescrip-
tions. If the State Board of Health in Massa-
chusetts succeeds in making an example OF any
offending firm it will confer great benefit on
the sick people of the whole country.

A story of revolving cruelty is told by w. A.
Slater, second mate of the schooner Morning
Light, which arrived in this port on Thursday.
This man says he was confined for fifty three
DAYS in wooden box so small that he could
neither lie down nor sit up; and apparently he
tells tho truth. His condition shows great
suffering. The captain of the schooner de-
claues that the second mate was unruly and as
saulted him. These are serious offences, com
mitted on shp-bOard, where strict discipline is
essential moreover, there are always two sides
to every story but unless the captain of the
Morning Light can give better explanations
of his action than he did yesterday, Commits
sioner Shields should show him no more mercy
than he showed his unfortunate subordinate.
1t is evident enough now that the watchful-
ness of our revenue officers has saved this Gov
eminent unpleasant complications with Hayti.
The tug Mary N. Hogan was seized by them
last July, on the ground that she was being
fitted out to aid the insurgents at Miragoane.
The purchasers raised great cry that the YES
Gel was wrongfully detained but Judge Brown
IN the United States District Court yesterday
that the tug was to be sent to Hayti to aid the
rebels. We have had a fortunate escape.
Hayd is not strong enough to have made us
much trouble; but the obligations of the United
States Government to enforce the neutrality
laws In her behalf are as pressing as If the little
Republic were as powerful as Great Britain.
Now some of the Northern Democrats know
how it is themselves. Their attempt to draw
sectional lines within their own party in regard
to the Speakership has brought down upon
them the wrath of their Southern brethren, who
charge them with waving the bloody shirt
and wanting the whole turkey" This is all
very amusing to Republican observers; more
