Mr.. Jacob Sharp has at length gracefully ac-
knowledged the supremacy of law He applied
Yesterday at the Department of Public works
for permit to lay his new GRO tracks and set
in place his new turntables. Ii 1t Is not
granted, we presume that Mr.. Sharp will go on
with the work Just the same.
It ia painfully certain that at this hour (mid
night General Grant is dying. Both mentally
and physically the sick man is in state OF utter
prostration, and the rapid, Pickering pulse, the
short breathing and the lines of the face so
tensely drawn, all indicate that life can only be
prolonged little while. Indeed the end may
come at any moment-may have come before
THE TRIBUNE is in the hands of its readers.
The assertions of the enthusiastic admirers of
the present Administration, that no removals
will be made in the Custom House Under its
new managers. are not borne out by the facts.
Two assistant appraisers were removed yester-
day, one of whom is a brother Of Bernard Big
lin. the Republican. 1t seems to be the inten-
ti0n of the Custom House authorities to move
slowly in this matter, so that the attention OF
the public will not be attracted thereto. They
don't want to create a scandal, but they must
have the places
More encouraging than all the statistical re-
ports of the Health Department is the fact
that fewer persons have been prostrated during
the last few days of fiery weather than is u.s.
ually the case during a heated term in New
York. 1t seems to indicate that the sanitary
condition of the city is better now than in pre-
yious summers Streets and cellars are cleaner
and the occupants of tenement houses, espe-
cially the children, not weakened by unhealthy
su, roundings are better able to Withstand the
effects of the heat. This is the condition in
which this city should be kept all the time, and
it would be 50 if only public opinion demanded
It.
The production of sThe MikadO" after it had
been forbidden by Judge Wheeler is likely to
prove no joke for those men who are response
be for the performance at the Union Square
Theatre on Monday. Counsel for the Gilbert
and Sullivan side Of the contest came back
from Vermont yesterday with pocketful of
orders of arrest, and Ludlow Street Jail fairly
yawps for Rosenfeld, Abrahams and Perkins.
The owners of the theatre are also summoned
to furnish good reasons why they should not be
punished for contempt. Surely here is enter
tainment for the public for days to come at
considerably less than 81 so for the best
places.
Among alleged "faith cures" the case of
John Kent, policeman in Jersey City, will
attract attention. This man was believed to
be suffering from rheumatism and consump-
tion, which are pretty difficult diseases to heal.
Bat after much praying, and being once
anointed with oil, he declares himself well
man and returns to work. 1t is this last point
which will perplex the incredulous. To be-
ieve himself healed is one thing; to return to
work Is another, and is the strongest proof Of
ferred either that the cure was real, or the
man was never sick. It will be noted that
physician's certificate Of the nature of Kent's
diseases is not forthcoming, and that he has
not yet been on duty day.
