The friends of education are justified in new
and ambitious hopes for the University OF the
City of New-York by the recent doings of the
Council. DIR. Halls election TO the Chancellor
ship and his acceptance orthe post, the cleo
ton of an energetic and experienced educator
as Vice Chancellor, and the creation of the new
chair Of Physics are all evidences of reawak-
ening of confidence and pride in the venerable
institution. The University Is entering on new
phase of existence under assuring circum-
stances.
Assemblyman Hubbell, who made an excel
lent record IN the Legislature, fOrclbly ex-
presses in to-day's TRIBUNE his views on the
policy to be pursued by Republicans in their
next State Convention He would have Civil
Service reform in its details, and municipal
government and reform made specially prom
inent. One of the definite reforms suggested
by Mr. Hubbell is that of salaried instead OF
feed officers Governor HILLS shameful veto of
the bills to bring about such reform In Brook

Guyandoite should hold an inquest OF lunacy
on the two tiremen who deliberately tapped
the bottom of the vessel yesterday and let as
much of the North River in as she would hold

forts and four men-of- war will greet Frances
gift to Ncw-York. An imposing marine
pageant will move through the harbor and with
the colossal statue of Liberty will come into the
hands of the city's representatives. II will be
an occasion for generous exchange of compli-
ments between two great and friendly Nations,
and it is pleasant to see in the list of arrange
ments that the demonstration will be ON an
appropriately grand scale.
In another column may be found the Exami-
nation Boards condemnation of the dispatch
boat Dolphin, and Secretary Whitneys letter
referring the matter to the Atsorney-Gen-
eral for action. The gist Of The report is
that the plans according to which the Dolphin
was built were meagre. and did not provide for
O vessel of adequate strength. But this is said
to be only one cause of the structural weak
ness found, another being bad workmanship on
the part of the builder. 1t is significant that
the Board regrets that so much of its criti-
cism OF the vessels strength rests merely on
opinion.
It is little to..be regretted that the musician
who recovered verdict from that amusing
play-actor mat" G. Goodwin yesterday, did
not bring his action SO that the verdict should
