The Corporation Counsel is another city
official who can discover no law making Jacob
Sharp the ruler of the city streets. He finds
that Mr. Sharp was not warranted in tearing up
the pavem msnts without permit from the Com
missioner of Public Works. That being the
case. the question naturally comes up why does
not the Law Department proceed to punish Mr..
Sharp for his unlawful proceedingf
The victimized jewellers who intrusted
$4,000 worth of diamonds to pedler, and
found them later in the keeping of pawnbrok-
era, have paid dearly for their experience. 1t is
spity that the swndlcr cannot be punished; ;
but she is probably safe within the Canadian
lines. The people of the Dominion will hardly
feel proud over this rapid increase in their
criminal classes. even though they bring with
them their ill-sotten gains.
Mr.. Hendricks hardly ever opens his mouth
without, iguratively speaking, putting his
foot in it. The Attorney Generals opinion, he
says, must govern the Secretary of the Navy,
and he cannot accept the vessels building by
Mr.. Roach, because they do not meet the re-
uuirements of the contracts. If Mr.. Hendricks
had read the opinion he would have learned
that according to the Attorney General there
are no contracts. That is exactly what is the
matter. The Government proposes to treat
Nr. Roach as without any rights in the matter
and any shipbulder who has to fight single
handed the Government of tho United States,
ilxyf tr,fr,
bankruptcy.
1t would be highly gratifying to the people of
this city il the family of General Grant should
conclude to accept resting place in one of the
city parks for the body of the old hero. The
Mayor, acting in behalf of the city authorities,
has made such an offer. If 1t be accepted, the
people of this city would doubtless raise fit
ting monument to mark the grave of one who
did 10 much to save the Union, and thus to
preserve the growth of the metropolis. Deeply
attached as he was to New York, choosing this
city for his home, 1t seems meet and appro-
pirate that his final resting place should be
here. The innovation which this offer marks
in the management sof the parks is one that
can well be made to meet this extraordinary
case; and only indicates tho regard In which
the dead soldier was held by his low-citixens
The work of Furnishing the Democrats re-
sponsible for the outrageous election frauds In
Chicago does not proceed with much vigor
liackin and Gallagher, who were convicted Of
stufinR ballot boxes and forging returns last
November, are still at large. Mackin has re-
Gently been convicted a0aln, this time on 0
charge Of perjury, but his lawyers have man
aged 90 far to keep him ont Of the ponItentisry
No one has yet boon punished for stealing the
ballot boxes In ono Of the wards In tho spring
elsction. In tho meantime, Carter Harrison
ths chief beneficiary Of these frauds, retains
his Office a. Mayor, and declares that he will take
advantage OF every possibls legal technioaIity
