LIBEL IN CHURCH.

The Rev james NJ. Pullman, preaching on
the Money Market last Sunday, allowed himself
TO make some personal remarks which THE
TRIBUNE thought il best not to include III its
summary of the sermon. Other journals, how
ever. having done their best to circulate
the most Objectionable parts of the dis
course, we see mo reason for keeping silent any
longer with respect to gross abuse OF the
privileges of the Christian pulpit. 4lr. Pull
man instructed his congregation that it was
their duty to put the very worst construction
upon General Grants connection with the firm
in which his fortune has been wrecked. We are
"not 10 be so blinded he exclaimed as TO be-
leve that a man who has been General of the
Army and President of the United States was
so bereft of the power of reflection and obser-
walton that he sat an unsuspecting and limo

Wall Street wildcat" In plain English, Mr..
Pullman teaches from his pulpit that General
Grant is a swindler.
Comment upon this outrageous language is
almost an aiiront 10 the intelligence and good
feeling of the reader. Charity, says the Apos-
tie, thinketh no evil and surely il there il any
place in which the unruly tongue should be
bIidled, and the slanderOus imagination sup
pressed, it is the temple of that religion which
teaches us to Judge kindly of all men, as we

TIE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

Under this name a melodrama, written by
Mr. Elliott Barnes in five acts was offered last night at
NiblOs Garden, where 1t by a considerable
dience and received with frequent excited paudits
title is taken from Mr.. Finchs well-kuown and very
tender and reveren poem Its subject the Civil War; ~
that for theatrical purposes better left alone
seeing that the happiness OF people is best
promoted by forgetfulness of everything in our
past history save the union and honor OF the
Republic Its first act contains theatrical effect hs
march Of the troops borrowed from Mr.. Robertsons
comedy Of "Ours," and Is entirely superhuOus. It's
does begin till nearly the end OF the second

The acting of Mr.. Dan MaEinness. the conventional
Irish soldier with his songs and his deyil-may

is good sign so far as it goes But if they could
be made to see that they ought to move out OF the

property and employ the available capital OF the
country for while, it would be ell for all parties
concerned. Weakness and uncertainty in the stock
market are pretty sure to continue, as more or less
constant conditions until those people who can buy

IMPROVING THE POLICE FORCE.

system now in in Philadelphia and Chicago Asa
matter Of fact have thought we'll OF the system and
have been anxious 10 eiyeft trial in this city. We
asked she Board of Estimate and Apporionment for an
appropriation Of $4,000 TO test the system in one
precinct, and went before the board to urge the meas
ure, but did not get the money. The Police Com
nissoners did not originate the bill to add 500 to
the force did any influence To get the bill
passed by the LEGISLATURE If the bill becomes law it
will add to the burden Of taxation while if the electric
patrol system could be adopted here the extra might
not be needed. The bin sent Albany and passed

OF the opposition OF the Mayors Cabinet" the Governor

Mr. Frederick Keppel made an excellent point in
our correspondence columns yesterday. Writing
from London he described the laXity of tho British
customs officials in examining his baggage upon
his recent arrival in Liverpool. Five boxes wero
passed over without being opened. They contained
Jars of fruit preserves. but for all that the customs
officials knew or discovered they might have been
crammed with dynamite. So long rs the baggage
of passengers arriving in Liverpool from this
try is examined in this superficial way, it is mpru
dent for the London press to lose It's temper over
American rcckessness in neglectlng precautions to
prevent the shipment of dangerous explosives We
do not deny that the custom-house officials and
Federal law officers this side ought TO exercise
due vigilance. But it is plain that if dynamite is
shipped from one country 70 the other IL is easy
to discover il when it is brought TO land in England

Pulaski going to let our municipal
election go by default9 Is there
nothing else for board to do but
to elect q policeman? Has Pulaski
no public interests of sufficient i'm
portance to awaken the interest of
her citizens? Does Pulaski need
anything2
Let's have 3 new deal! Let's
have mass meeting again next
Saturday night and nominate q
board and distinctly tell them what
we want done. The present board
will not allow the people TO vote up
on the questions they want to vote
on. Let's have another board. Is
our mayor a Dictator2 Is our
board supreme, that they cannot
condescend to listen to the people
and allow them to vote upon a ques-
ton when they want to?
The CITIZEN may be mistaken. Ii

ey the Lord Mayor and his board.
If not, then We have done cur duty
