We don't credit the rumOr that Secretary
Bayard is to retire from Office speedily. 1t may
be true, as many Democrats assert, that the
Secretary of State has been permitted to have
his own way touching appointments In his de-
partmeut, for the express purpose OF making
himself unpopular with his party and the pub
lie: but we cannot believe that the allowance
of rope permitted to him thus far is long enough
to have let him hang himself yet. But it may
come.
There are Democrats who were not pleased
with Mr. Yilass request for proof OF offensive
partisanship," in order to allow him to remove
Republican pOstmasters. They Thought he
should not have asked what was Impossible to
produce in many cases. But these unhappy
Bourbons need mourn no longer. The First
Assistant Postmaster-General has come TO
their relief with declaration that one proof Of
offensive pdrUSanSillp is leIlIHS i""AOiS SOh-
gregate in or about the Office. There is probably
not pos tmaster in the land who has been able
to prevent idle Democrats from waiting about
the Office while the mail was distributing. IL Is
good thing for the offce-seekers that they

The generous and sympathetic feelings which
ill the hearts of the members Of all grades OF
the Police Department of this city have rarely
been better illustrated than in the erection of
the monument to Sidney p Nichols. which was
unveiled yesterday. Mr.. Nichols all through
his public career exhibited a sngle-hearted de-
yoton TO his private interests which few occu-
pants of municipal Offices have surpassed. But
he was genial and good-natured He never
stole public funds nor took mean advantage
of his rivals in the livery trade. He had kind
word for patrolman, sergeant and captain, and
he never neglected the interests of Tammany
Hall. There have been a great many worse
men in Office than Police Commissioner Nichols,
but there have been few monuments erected to
public men with less reason.
The determination of the Administration to
recapture the Indians who have fled from the
San Carlos reservation is highly praiseworthy
but the form OF the order to the commanding
general sayo1s of that kind of innocence COM
monty called fresh. "These Outrages," so the
!. order runs, must be put down in the shortest
possible time; and every precaution must be
taken to prevent their occurrence in the future"
1t was hardly worth while to make the tirst
suggestion to the veteran Indian fighters OF the.
Southwest They realize as fully as the au-
thorities in Washington the necessity OF stop
ping the deyastations of the red men as
quickly as possible; and the second suggestion
is little better than slur on General Crook.
If he has noe taken every precaution possible
in the management of the San Carlos Agency,
it would be difficult TO name any one who has.
