SPEAKER SHEARD.

William Cullen Bryant is the author of the
familiar lines,
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, %
The eternal years of God are hers. 70
The correctness of this assertion of the poet
has often been verified, but never more fOrcibly
than by The Post in its issue of last evening. 4
On its second page our usually careful and
iudiciOus contemporary crushed Truth to earth
the truth in regard to Speaker Sheard. 1t
was as severe a crushing as Truth has received
for long time. The Post arraigns Mr.. Sheard
as an enemy to the pending reform bills. 1t
declares that he is one of the legislators that, in
their relations to these bills, q had the reckless
ness to defy the reform sentiment of the State"
1t charges that Johnny" O'Brien was the
chief obstacle in the path of the bills on Wed
nesday," and adds, 1t is impossible to avoid
I" the conclusion that the Speaker was O'Brien's
assistant in the movement"
That was the style in which Truth was
@crushed to earth" on the second page of The
Post. But, TO- most promptly in this instance
Truth rose again, in the very same issue-On
the first page, where the following telegram is
printed
Hon WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs, New York:
wish to you that Speaker Sheard Is openly and
heartily I'm OF the NewYork reform bills and VIII
do all he possibly can TO insure their passage.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
1t is seldom that Truth rises so soon or so
etlcctualy after being crushed. There eau be
no more competent witness in this matter than
Mr. Roosevelt He is in charge of the reform
bills he is daily and closely associated with
Speaker Shcard. The Post will hardly under
take to impeach his testimony, and yet his short
but emphatic telegram demonstrates the abso-
lutte falsity of its charges.
Mr. Sheard has been member of the As
sembly for several terms. His record has UNI
fOrmly been that of a straightforward, upright
man, earnestly bent upon rendering the people
good and faithful service. 1t is of course pos
sible that his rulings during the turbulent SEES
sion of Wednesday were not always free from
mistakes. Possibly Mr. LittleiOhn Is the better
parliamentaran but Mr.. Sheard certainly did
nothing to warrant the ferociOus attack made
upon him. We believe The Post sincerely de-
sires and intends above all things to act justly;
and so we submit that it is now in order either
to correct what it said about Mr.. Sheard, or to
turn its batteries also upon Mr.. Roosevelt. We
do not believe The New- York Times has such
desire or intention to act justly and so have
less expectation of seeing in its columns any re-
paraton for the outrageous calumny and abuse
with which it decOrates the Speaker. Fortu-
nately for him, while what The Post says hurts,
what The Times says does not.

THE BURNING OF TAMANIEB.

The burning of Tamanieb is a demonstration
of weakness rather than of strength. The
British army has advanced few miles from
Suakim, and without meeting with the enemy
IN large force has entered village which was
at one time Osman Dgma's headquarters.
This village has been burned, and the rebels
have been dispersed among the hills. General
Graham has no intention OF holding his ground,
much less Of advancing into the inter or. The
army is to return TO Suakim, the campaign
being at an end It is not at an end because
Osman Digma has been captured nor because
the rebel chiefs nave been induced TO abandon
him. 1t is at an end because the British army
cannot march under the burning sun, nor pro-
long contest conducted on the insidlous prin-
ciples of Arab warfare. A large proportion of
the troops were Frustrated by the heat before
they had gone dozen miles from the coast.
There was, moreover a change in the enemy's
tactics. Cautious diminishing by scattered
bands of hOrsemeD had been substituted for
fighting with compact force in the open field.

THE san FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE.


After a rest of several years San Francisco has
been reminded that the seismic forces which at
various times have caused her uneaslness are not
extinct. The accounts of the latest earthquake
shock are as yet by no means clear or full. 1t is
SAID that il was the most shock since that Of
1858 but the meagre facts related do not bear out
this statement In 1868 considerable damage was
done to buildings, and several lives were lost. On
that occasion the earthquake wave recorded ITS
passage along Californa-st. by leaving the roadwsy
in alternate hills and hollows like the undulatons
of water for several blocks. On the made ground
below Montgomery-st. many stores ana build
ings were wrecked. One or two newly
erected houses fell down, and there was
a general cracking of plaster and destruc-
ton of crookory. la the recent case, however,
there does not so far appear to have been any ser
damage doae. We hear of no buildings thrown
down. of loss Of IFS. not even of any breakago
of plaster or crookery. The people of San Fran
cisco arc naturally afraid of earthquakes, first be-
cause there is no more terrifying phenomenon In

THE WOMAN WITH A PISTOL.

There is no doubt that women are advancing
in the use of the pistol. The latest reported
case is that of an alleged Hungarian countess in
Philadelphia who shot at ii messenger boy for
no other reason, apparently, than fit of bad
temper, and followed this shot with two at
Otle persons. We had only few days ago
the inquest over young girl who shot a young
man in an elevated railroad station, wOundng
him, and then killed herself with the same pistol.
Most of the cases are like these, tragical, and as
a rule those reported in the newspapers are
merely the climax of sad story 1t must be-
evidently, terrible grievance that leads n
woman, who is in her right mind and not wholly
depraved, TO use Il murderous weapon against a
fellow creature. Men carry pistols from habit,
on the plea of self-defence because they happen
to be out late at night, or for any one of dozen
reasons Men do II great deal of promiscuous
and foolish shooting which they promptly re-
greet. They shoot when they get angry, when
they are drunk, aud Oh numerous other occa-
sions when the prctext becomes absurd and
pititnl. looked at coolly. AS a rule, however.
when woman puts pistol into her pocket, it
means that she has already selected her victim,

The bill extending the time of the Rapid
Tran sit Commission was killed yesterday by a
large majority in the Assembly. Regardless of
the merits of the bill, il is to be hoped that the
Legislature will not refuse, under proper con-
ditions, to authorize the construction of cable
railways in this city and Brooklyn. They have
proved great success IN other cities and, no
doubt, would be equally beneficial in some parts
of this city,

The Democrats at Albany should take a les
son from their brethren at Trenton. In the
New-Jersey Assembly yesterday the Democrats
apologized for their unjust conduct toward the
Republicans on the previous day. Now if the
Democrats in the New-York Assembly will
make similar avowal of repentance for their
conduct oD Wednesday, it will be the least
they can do to wipe out the stain of their
proceedings on that day.

correspondent writing from MiddletOwn, Orange
County suggests that the Democracy could not do
better than give their Presidential nomination to
the two headed woman. He believes that this lady
is admirable adapted to represent the principles of
both factions of the party on the tariff issue. The
idea is not bad, but there is something in the way
of its accomplishment. 1t is understood that the
two headed woman has accepted an profitable on
gagement with circus If she has it is not likely
that she could be induced to throw it up for any
thing so Improbable a Democratic nomination

Outsiders have supposed that Mr. Frelinghuysen
was Secretary of State of the United States OF
America. But apparently he thinks not. In an Of

officer that his appointment has been confirmed by
"the American Senate Perhaps he may himself
be officially styled hereafter Secretary of the Con-
tinent."

The country is TO be congratulated on the
decisive defeat inflicted in the House yesterday
on the whskey men. There was no probability
of the whisley bill becoming law, even had 1t
passed the House, but its crushing defeat will
teach Chairman Morrison and his friends
lesson which may be of service to them. 1t will
also be useful to the whiskey lobby. The tes-
timony before the Window Committee in 1857
proved that the whiskey men raised 100000
TO pass the bonded extension bill. They failed
in the last House, and now they have failed
again. notwithstanding the favorable report
from Mr.. MOrrison's committee. The result
will be wholesome in reducing the production OF
whiskey. The refusal to pass similar meas ure
in 1882 led to reduction of the product from
1O5OOO,OO0 gallons in that year to $4,000
900 gallons in 1888. Another such falling
of will be National blessing. And if, as the
distilers threaten, the whskey goes out of the
country to escape taxation, the people will bid
it good radiance. 1t has been fifty character
lied as the dynamite of modern civilization.

cumstances it will be fortunate for the CITY IL
the Governor acts promptly on the charges
made against the Sheriff by the Assembly Com
mittee. The evidence taken by that committee'
and the presentment of the Grand Jury, show
conclusively that the Sheriff ought to be re-
moved.

The Mormon Legislature has sent to Con-
gress memorial against pending legislation,
which ought to have an effect opposite from
that intended. 1t is a Incorporate and insult
ing attack upon the Government officers. The
Mormons have so long been permitted to defy
law and deceucy that they evidently cannot
believe that the leniency heretofore extended
to them will be withdrawn. But sooner or
later the foul blot which they have placed on
the Nation will be wiped out. 1t ought TO be
done at once.
1t is evident from the proceedings in the ar
raigninent of the Sheriff yesterday that he
means to avail himself of every possible tech
nicality to delay and defeat conviction. If the
usual success ia such cases attends him, he will

A correspondent, whose initials will be recog-
nized as those of an expert on all questions OF
finance and produce, makes in another column
valuable suggestion in the interest of Amer
lean grain producers. The recent collapse OF
the wheat market is entirely attributable to the
attempts of reckless spectators to deceive the
public by false statistics and .delusive promises
of high prices. The country had large sur
plus of wheat, but was not allowed to sell IL;
and now the opportunity of disposing OF 1t at
good prices has gone. The spectators nave
q rugged the market and the holders of grain
have missed their markets. The correspondent
has no faith that the ruin wrought this year Will
avert ruin another year. He thinks that the
only way in which the spectators can be sue
cessfully fought is in the supply of early, con-
tinuous and complete information regarding
agricultural production from IGovernmeht
sources. His suggestion seems not only timely
but practical. The expense of carrying it out
in systematic manner would not be greater
than the information would be worth.

The large gathering in Cooper Institute last
night in behalf of municipal reform, shows
that there is no abatement of public interest IN
that subject The obstructive minority at
Albany will do well to heed the fact. The
speeches of Mr. Evarts, Judge Davis, Professor
Dwight and others were earnest and the au-
dence was enthusiastic. The Committee of
Fifty-three was instructed to continue It's ad-
vocacy at Albany of remedial legislation for
this city. The nine bills which the Democrats
attempted to defeat on Wednesday were APP
proved by the meeting, along with other meas
ures now before the Legislature. 1t was wisely
demanded that the Police Department be made
subject to the Civil Service regulations, and
that the election bureau be separated from that
department. Praise was justly accorded the
Governor for the stand he has taken on this
subject. With such an evidence of the con-
tinued active support of the intelligent people
of this city, the representatives at Albany who
favor municipal reform will no doubt be en-
couraged to renewed eXertions in that behalf.
