ordinate places In this city are such as now fill
the offices of Register, County Clerk and Sheriff.
Senator Days proposition to make all the
departments single headed is also of question
able propricty. Certainly the Tax Department
should not be placed under one head. No
single person should be given the right to fix
taxable valuations. The administration OF the
Commissioner of Public Works cannot be
pointed ont as an illustration of the advantage
of n single head nor can that OF the Sheriff.
County Clerk or Register But there should not
be more than three Commissioners in any de-
partment. That would prevent deadlocks.
And no doubt in some of the departments it
would be better TO have only one Commissioner.

the Hall of Records should remind the people of
New-York that documents on which claims to
thousands of millions of dollars rest are subject
day and night to the risks involved in crowding
them into an insecure building too small, old, badly
built and in danger OF fire at any time. The Grand
Jury of which Mr. Simon Stevens was foreman made
n thorough investigation of this subject in 1882
They had the building examined by number Of
experts, and obtained the opinions of many officers
of our great corporations, and other prominent cit-
zens. whose investments are absolutely dependent
for their value on the safekeepng of the records of
the Registers office. All agreed in urging that
these precious documents should be protected by
fire-proof quarters. 1t is reckless folly to delay
making such provision for their security.

The Emperor William Jas reason to feel
proud of the universal rejoicing in Germany
yesterday over the celebration of his eighty
seventh birthday. He was sixty-four when he
formally ascended the Prussan throne in 1861,
but since that time he has had an active career
of almost quarter of century. From the pc
riod of bis service with thJ armies that over
threw the First Napoleon TO the present time
he has witnessed great change in the worlds
affairs.

The veterinary experts who have been inves-
tigating the matter state that the reports of the

are false. Similar investigations made in Illinois

like results. 1t is about t,tie that the circula-
ton of such injurious false f.ports was stopped.

The Lanoets advice to Mr.. Gladstone to accept Il

Thelarge seizure of " bob" veal justmade added to
the reyeationso of the bogus butter inquiry, indicate
a widespread dishonesty in the purveying OF food
for the public which certainly justiies even more
thorough Investigations. II Is believed, and not
without grounds that fraud and adulteraton IN food
products have been rife as at present, and
that almost incredible ingenuity is exercised in sub
stituting shams for realities and cheap trash for
more expensive wholesome material, IN scores OF
ways. The supposed simple groceries, the meat. the
bread the very clements of physical life, are doc
tored and adulterated by commercial sharpers who
appear to have no compunciions a. to the possible
results of their fraudulent devices IL is evident
that something more than legislation Is needed here
There is required for n complete reform an awaken
ing of the commercial conscience also.

will be utilized to show whether any advance IN
the art Of killing has been made by the British
