Undoubtedly there needs to be some
amendment of the English laws. But this
does not prove that the Gdsetie'S disclosures
are necessary or wholesome. That London
is given over to utter lswlessness we cannot
believe. New York journals have sometimes
given us a picture Of great lawlessuess in
that city. But sergeant of the New York
police is now in prison for an outrage on a
defenseless girl, and the keeper of dive is
awaiting sentence for a similar ofense. SO
of London we cannot help thinking that the
law is generally ready TO extend its protection
TO those who appeal for it,.

TaE SUNDAY HERALD extends its sincere
sympathy to its neighbors who have suf-
fered great disaster by fire. The public
who see the regular issue come out in decent
shape the morning after can hardly know
how very serious a calamity it is to a news
paper TO be burned out. The business is of
a kind which suffers from disorganization
for even single day, so that the mere
money loss on plant is by no means the only
one. The SUNDAY HERALD has taken pleas
ure in offering its facilities to its unlucky
neighbors, and the last two issues of the
Critic have been printed in this office.

Secretary Whitney is in face OF great op-
portunity. John Roach seems bent upon
demonstrating that the Government cannot
safely build war vessels by contract. The
Secretary can show that the Government is
not at the mercy of contractors by building
vessels in the navy yards. OF course the
old rotten system Of running the navy yards
as parts of the political machine must bs
formed. The system of having top-heavy
organization offoremen, and few mechanics
who " soldier" over their work, and appeal
to their Congressman for protection If they
are discharged, must be reformed. The
bureaus in the Department which have con-
nived at the fungus growth of abuses that
have made every navy yard leech on the
public treasury must be reformed. But the
will be to cover with honor the Secretary
who performs it successfully. AS soon
as navy yard work is managed on
business principles the Department can
build ships and engines and fabricate
ordnance cheaper than il can get the same
articles by contract. 1t has plant Of great
value on which interest and profits need not
be earned. 1t has large number of highly
educated officers who can do work for which
every private ship.builder must pay. The
eight-ho law is no real obstacle in the way
of doing work economically. When political
interference is stopped it will enable the
navy yards to get the best mechanics, and
those who will do fair days work In eight
hours. To argue that the Government can
not build ships or guns is to plead the baby
act and TO admit that there will be no real
honest attempt to reform the time 'honored
abuses which have destroyed the usefulness
OF the navy yards.

American city, by an industrious, imagina-
tive, and not oversorupulous reporter, to
shock the sensibilities of the public. Doubt
less London is very bad place, and even
among its wealthy aud aristocratic people
there must be much going on which ought
10 be mended or repressed. Revelations Of
the details Of sexual vice have by the common
consent of civilized men been treated as
something of which no good could come, aud
have been left TO journals without character
or standing, and which have been excluded
from respectable families and even from club
reading rooms. Reputable journals have
confined themselves to such disclosures as
the courts make public necessity, and often
have modified these as much as possible
When a state of gross iniquity is alleged TO
exist in London and a considerable number
Of examples are cited we must reflect that
these have occurred in population of four
millions, and that months and perhaps years
have been covered by their collectors, so
that the impression of startling wickeduess
as attaching to the community is essentially
a false one.

The fire which destroyed the Post building
proves that the dangerous electric lighting
machinery which caused it should hereafter
be placed in an isolated building, where it
cannot endanger thickly-built-up section
of the city: The presence of these machines
has come to be regarded by the neighbors
as constant source of danger. 1t will be
remembered that an explosion took place
some months ago which shook the adjoining
buildings, but it is not generally known
that since the electric lighting machinery
was established here there have been no less
than tcelre fires in this one building all
caused hy the electric apparatus. OF course
eleven of them were extinguished without
trouble, but such good fortune could not
continue and the twelfth proved destructive.
The lesson taught by this fire is therefore
that this machinery should be re-established
in some locality where it cannot do so much
damage.

Restricted License City.

Springfield (Mass) Republican.
"Springfeld makes more fuss about the 1853
liquors licenses than a comparison with other
cities would warrant" says the Lowell Courier.
Springfield compares herself with herself. This
city had earned good reputation for dealing
with the rum traffic, her policy Of restricted
license producing results that were not equaled
elsewhere. The wanton new departure which
puts US on a level with other cities where liber-
tine license has prevailed is extremely repugnant
to the people, and constitutes a self-evident
injury to the community.

sand years.
Sometimes God lets the wicked live, that they
may build that which righteousness may appro-
pirate for good uses. At the last meeting of our
church court we were told of college started at
the far West by infdels. There was to be in it
no nonsense of chapel prayers. and the obsolete
Bible was not to be- found there. The faculty
was made up of the enemies of Christianity.
The college buildings were reared and the work
begun. But such an institution could not pros
per. A minister of Presbyterian church was
in bank one day on business and lie overheard
in an adjoining room the college board of trus-
tees discussing what they had better do with
their college, as they could not makesit go any
longer One of them said "Let us hand it
over to the Presbyterians," prefacing the word
''Presbyterians" with profane expletive. The
motion carried, and that college, built as
fortress of skepticism, has become fortress of
old-fashioned, orthodox religion The devil
built 1t; righteousness captured it, So there are
in our cities very expensive club houses, the
architecture, and the furniture, and al! the
equipment bedazzlement of wealth, en-
ployed in making gambling and dissipation
respectable. But fret not these buildings
will yet De free libraries or hospitals or galleries
of pure art. Observatories have been put up at
vast expense by monomanacs of atheism and the
first you know they are In possession of Chris
tian science. God said he would put hook into
the nose of Sennacherib, and turn him. and all
the modern Sennacheribs of infdelity and sin
have Ia hook in their nose, and are turned this
way and that as the Lord wills it. Great mar
BILE halls now devoted to sinful amusements will
yet be dedicated for religious assemblage. All
these castles of sin will surrender under the bat
tie cry with which Oliver Cromwell led his army
on the field of Nasty: 'Let God arise; let his
enemies be scattered After the great London
fire there was found the ruins of house with
nothing standing but the arch, showing the
name of the architect who constructed it, and
on these great ruins Of humanity that astounded
the world are marked the name Of the God who
