DOHSpS IMPTDENCE.

No one who understands the facts will feel
any sympathy with DOwse, the Irish ot0waway'
IN his efforts to annoy Captain Irving, oil the
steamship Republic. Dowse owes his life to Cap
tain Irving, and is now doing his best to inlure
the man who saved him. He was q stOwaway
and "A prisoner on the Glamorgan, from which
he VAS rescued He was we'll treated OH the
Republc. and when the vessel reached port he
was not detained moment longer than seemed
absolutely necessary. For a sneaking stowa-
way he is now holding his head very high while
he prates about the attack on his rights. He
has been allotted and encouraged by the pesti-
lent fellows who make up tho Rosa "dyna-
mite gang"
CAPTAIN Irving. with loss of time, danger to
property, and at the risk of life, rescued the
drowning passengers of the Glamorgan. 1t
was humane brave deed, for which
he has received medals, notes OF
thanks and the appreciation or the civil
lied world. But the thanks he gets from this
stowaway, whom he saved among the rest, are,
first an arrest for alleged detention, next a
proceeding against the ship on which he was
rescued from drowning and brought sale To
shore, and now another threat of an attempt TO
annoy Captain Irving on some fresh trumped-
up charge.
There is something too much of this. If
Dowse ever had any claim to the respect OF
decent men he has forfeited it 10y his conduct
of this case His attempt to secure the arrest
Of CAPTAIN Irving Just before he sailed to
ENGLAND was made at the time when the
greatest difficulty and embarrassment to the
company would he caused. lie appears now
to be waiting until the appointed day for
sailing before serving his libel uron the
shin. and probably hopes 10 delay her de-
parture. 1t is a Serious matter TO inter
fere with the sailing Of a steamship car
rying the United States mail as well as n
large number OF passengers and cargo OF
great value. Such step shOuld never be posi-
bic merely to CRAFTY the spite of n stowaway.
We think that Dowse and any magistrate
who may aid him in the attempt TO inflict 80
much injury out of revengeful motives Will find
that they have entered on dangerous ground
If the man wants to show his gratitude by
further efforts at legal persecution OF his bene-
factors let him 90 ahead. He cannot make
his character and conduct more despicable
than they now appear. But he should act at
once. II he delays for the obvious
purpose of harassing Captain Irving and
the White Star Company at the hour for the
ships sailing, he will find his proceedings too
closely approaching blackmail for safety and
any magistrate who lends himself to the bust
ness will have found short and sure road TO
lasting disgrace. Dowse is welcome to his
rights-iust that and no more. 1t will be wise
for him not to attempt too much.

Mitchell, Hart and McCord. If he renomi'
mates any one of these three smen, or such
a man as sNiclx Haughton, it will be useless
hereafter to hope for any reform from that
source. 1t must not be forgotten also that on
Monday next Recorder Smyth will begin to
hear ali the excise cases that the District-At-
torney may have ready. 1t will then be seen
who is to blame for the failure to prosecute the
large number of those cases now In the DIS
trict- Attorneys Office.
1t may be noted, in connection with this sub
ject, that the Police Board is taking an unneces-
sarily long time to answer few plain questions
in regard to its failure to enforce the present
Excise law. 1t is now ten days since the Citizens
Temperance Committee invited answers to the
questions which it prepared and yet there is no
sign of response from the Police Board, though
President French said that nearly all of the
questions could be answered Immediately. The
members of the Police Board are not obliged to
crimnate themselves, and if that is their excuse
for not replying to the questions they ought SO
to inform the public.

FOR SPEAKER. SAMUEL s. cox.

TIE TRIBUNE tenders its ackno wledgments tC
Mr. Samuel Cox, both on its own account and
i'm behalf of the general public. When we re-
marked day or two since that the Democratic
candidates for the Speakership of the next Con-
gress woIe making a mistake in delaying in
such unaccOuntable fashion their opening Of
the canvass that a Democratic Congress had
been elected by non-Democratic voters in the
expectation of being amused during the nine
months to elapse before the assembling of that
body with the antics of the candidates and
that the public was impatient for the circus TO
begin, we hardly expected 80 early re-
Spouse. But Mr.. Samuel Cox is an artist who
never keeps an audience waiting longer time
than it will take him to reach the stage and
