CAPTAIN Phelan, with his life in one hand and
six-shooter in the other, has appeared on the
scene. He declares that he has come to testify
against his assailant, Short and to see that
Justice is done. We trust it may be so mean
while the cold increduous world would do well
to stop saying that Phelan was never badly
wounded, and that the whole affair put
up lob to increase the skirmshing fund "
and the circulation of Rossa's paper.
Captain Bracket has been acquitted He has
come out of the furnace without even the smell
of fire upon his garments. In our columns this
morning he tells an interesting story about the
men who laid the Goals, blew the bellows and
heated that furnace seven. fold for his benefit.
We congratulate the Captain on his honorable
deliverance and advise him for the future to
keep far away from unrghteous Custom House
brokers and audacious importers, who may try
to practise upon his innocence
The President will not find much encourage
ment to persevere in the line of Civil Service
Reform-even if he wants tin his party in
Colorado. A Every hungry and thirsty crowd
of Democrats have arrived in Washington from
that State and announce that if proper care is
shown in filling the 300 Federal offices in
Colorado, there is a chance that the Republicans
can be defeated at the next election. Even
with 300 Offices in their control and each
Office holder a most offensive partisan" we
doubt if this boast could be fulfilled. The
Democratic factions hate each other too Bit
terly.
In this restless country even the dead have
few chances of sleeping undisturbed; the living
are crOwding them out. AS New York City has
grown, the space occupied by cemeteries, both
public and private, which once were in the
suburbs, has been demanded for building pur-
poses, and one by one the churchyards and
family buIying-grounds have disappeared.
The removal of one of the last to 90 began yes
terday at Nlnth-ave. and Fiftieth-st. The
bones of the old Hopper family were picked out
from the mould, and transferred to Trinity
Cemetery. Presently an apartment-house will
tower to heaven there, and The Hopper descend
ants will doubtless find the place more profit
ALE aud pleasant than their ancestors.
We cannot see any sense in the regulation of
the Park Department requiring arIlsIs VINO Wish
to sketch in the parks to get special license
from the Commissioners. The number of per-
sons who would invade Central Park with
sketch book and pencil, if the restriction were
rem we'd, would not be large enough to damage
the grass much. But some of the gentlemen
who decorate the Union Square Office of the
department act and talk as If they thought
Central Park ought to be put in glass case.
They look upon it as too pretty for use or
rather they try to magnify their Office by max
ing lot of absurd regulations which limit the
enjoyment of the people in the park which they
have paid for and support to the narrowest
possible lines.
There Is painful persistency about the rumors
