Mr.. LacOmbe the Corporation Counsel, sug-
gests 10 the Police Board that whenever accl-
dents occur from imperfectiOHS in the city side
walks or from similar cause, the policeman on
that beat shall make speedy report to the Law
Depar mcnt Of the city of all the circumstances
in the case which he can learn. Mr.. LacOmbe
thinks that in this way "accident' suits against
the city could be more efficiently opposed. The
importance of some such rule as the one pro-
posed will be appreciated when it is known
that the damages claimed from the munich
paitv in such suits now pending amount to
over 100000.

struction to some building which the brewer
may wish to put up in the future. From TINS IL
appears that IN abutting owner has prospective
as well as present rights which even a teie-
graph pole must respect. An interesting part
of the opinion is that in which the Justice holds
that telegraph poles which have been erected
since the passage of the act of 1854 have Deen
placcd in position contrary to law; ana that
the unlawfulness of their erection can fnn no
excuse in the provision requiring all telegraph
lines TO be laid underground after November l,
1885. The Court of Appeals, of course. VIII
have to be heard on all these points hereafter
That Mr.. Blaine has lost nothing OF the
strong hold he has on the hearts of the
people, was amply demonstrated by the
enthusiasm that greeted his appearance
yesterday at the stations on the line
of his trip from Boston to New-fOrk. Nher'
ever he appeared thousands crowded about nm
TO cheer and give expression to their regard.
1t was unfortunate that misunderStand-
ing on the part of some of his
friends led to the announcement that
he would be at Norwall and other places where
the express train on which he was travelling
did not stop. The thousands who were gath
cred at those places were disappointed through
no fault of MI Blaine.

THE TRIBUNE has called attention from time
TO time this summer to the unwiSe cxaggeration
that generally pervades the dispatches let loose
over the country in regard TO the prevalence OF
cattle disease. Only yesterday we had occasion
to say that we did not believe that hog cholera
was raging through all the southern counties
of New-Jersey and spreading rapidly In
quiries at the State Fair at Waverly Yesterday
among number of farmers who are perfectly IN
formed in regard to these matters show that our
disbelief was quite right. The disease III ques-
ton prevails among swine in the northern part
of Gloucester County and also in Burlington
County; but it is only slightly in excess OF what
exists there every year. There is no alarm
about its spreading and the type is not severe.
Moreover there are only a few sporadic cases
of pleuro- pneumonia in the State
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1884-08-31
Decline in Republican Patriotism.

DeOiiuo III hepuDllCdu L utIlOLlblU,
The indifference of men of means
60 the Republican opportunities for
money to run their campaign is sig
niiicant of disaster TO the Republican
ticket. The class of men who have
literally contributed to Republican
campaign funds have shut their ears
to the appeals of the campaign COM
mitteee, and cash Is scarce in the treas.
ury. Men who have given from
$l0, 00O TO sos 900 now de line to give
anything. They do not choose to aid
III the election of Blaine. The usual
fund squeezed from government EN-
ployes is missing, The civil service
rules make the clerks feel reasonably
g. cure, and they, encouraged To re-
bellion by President Arthur, are with
holding their usual assessments. I'M
der these circumstances the Republic
can campaign COMMITTEES Is IN deep
financial distress, without any imme-
diate prospect Of relief from any source.
The members are even borrowing
money to pay the ordinary expenses
OF postage on campaign documents.
Unless somebody comes to their rescue
there will be fair chance for an
honest election.
1t marks an era of great lsxity in
political morals when people who es-
TEEN honest methods In the ordinary
relations Of life yet look with favor or
with indifference upon the EMPLOY
ment of corrupt means to carry nm
election. No concealment IL made of
the fact that the purpose of large
campaign fund is TO corruptly int,u.
ence the purchasabie voting class. In
a word, their snfl'rages are 10
be bought ~ one would
buy their labor for day. The
laws support the moral Instinct in
making bribery crime, and 1t is a
double crime for he who sells his yote
and he who buys are equally guilty of
Nain upon the honor of the cause of
popular government. But there Ia no
strong condemnation of the use of
money In elections Cor corrupt uses. nj
