GILEEDGED REFORMERS.

Mayor Grace seems to be lacking in respect
for gilt-edged Civil Service reform. The
doctrinaires who have been conducting the ex-
aminations in the city departments have been
very unfortunate in not being able to spend as
much money as they wanted. From the outset
they have insisted upon having the cause which
they represented treated handsomely. They
were allowed 81, 900 the tirstsyear; the second
year they demanded $4,000 end made such
racket over the growing Importance oil their
work that the appropriation was only reduced
to $50 900 and as they had shouted them
selves hoarse before election in proclaiming
Mr. Grace as the reformers candidate " tor
Mayor they had no expectation that ne would
interfere with their luxurious methods of pro-
cedurc. But now, greatly to their surprise ana
modification, Mr.. Grace begins his career as
- the reformers' Mayor" by reforming the
methods o. the Civil Service reformers and re-
ducing their expenses oDc-half.
This little circle of docrinaires was sorely
distressed at an early stage of Its operations
over the qualifications Of one OF its own number
for active service. Mr.. Nadal was pronounced
incompetent and dismissed. Why or where
fore, the public never ascertained with definite
ness, although many columns of The Erening
IoSt were filled with explanations of the event !;
but ont he went and higher and higher went
the estimates Of those he left behind of the
value of their services To the city. In Brooklyn
a similar series of examinations has been con-
Quoted with efficiency and success ut an annual
expense of 81 800 to the city. The New York
Advisory Board, after Mr.. Nadars expulsion.
considered themselves cheap at $2S 900. They
agreed among themselves that shabby -genteel
Civil Service reform might answer for Brook
lyn. but it would not do for an imperial city
like New-York. An expensive building was
hired; a salary of $4,000 was voted to the
secretary; nine examiners were empowered to
assist i'm the mental dissection of candidates ;
and a ianitor and a messenger were enlisted in
the cause of reform. The whole business of re-
forming the government of the city was to be
conducted in a dignifcd and impressive man
ner.
And now the reformers' own Mayor takes q
sorlii view of the matter. He thinks the gilt
edged kind costs twice as much as is necessary
that another secretary will do the work for
~. 800 instead of $4,000, that the exaInina-
tions can be conducted in the City Hall, that
the expensive Offices can be dispensed with, the
number of examiners reduced and the jantor
and messenger permanently retired. And
what will the doctrlnaires do about it VIII
they pronounce the Mayor as incompetent as
Mr.. Nadal, or will they submit with sanity
resignation to the vulgar fate of being shabby

Mancini's cordial references to Great Britain III
his annual speech on foreign affairs nave oeeh
received with cheers by the Deputies and one
journal vies with another in extravaganza praise
of General Stewards achievements. That there
is some secret understanding between the two
Governments is evident. The acquiescence OF
England in the Assab Bay expedition only
nartially explains the favor with which Signor
Mancini's ofiiciil explanations are received.
The Italian colony is near the entrance to the
Red Sea. and long distance from Suaklm ana
Massowah. England could not have any reason
to deprecate the success of Italian colonization
schemes on that coast The cordial relations
between the two Governments are probably the
result of secret understanding respecting the
southem Mediterranean coast. If Italy Is CIV
ing England diplomatic assistance in European
councils and supporting its Egyptian policy, the
favor which is returned in kind must be some
thing more important than liberation OF the
Assab Bay expedition. Signor Mancini an
nounces that Italy is now firmly resolved never
to allow the balance of power on the Mediter-
ranean to be disturbed again. This seems TO
Indicate that Tnpoi has been marked out by
England for Italian conquest.

,tP CLEVELANDS TROUBLE.

There il a painful suspicion in Democratic
circles that Governor Cleveland has not a
prope1 respect for the old men and the ancient
traditions of the party. He is reported to have
said, in reply TO the recommendation OF cer-
tain statesman for Cabinet office, why, he Is
seyenty-two years old, isn't he" Then, ac-
cording to report, Mr.. Cleveland went on to OBJ
serve that this would be business Adminls-
tration, and that young active business men
would perform its duties This shuts out
good many of the great statesmen whose friends
have INDUCED strong hopes, but that is not the
worst of it, Apparently it implies a most DIS
heartening contempt for the Old-iashioned
doctrines and the time-hOnored traditions oil
that putrid reminiscence known as the DEM
ocratic party. :.
If Mr.. Cley eland is going to conduct himself
in this way if he is going to .snub all the men
who know what Democracy really is, and 70
dismiss "a incapable all the venerable men VINO
were Democrats when there WAS DemocIatic
party, he is going to have very lively time oil
it. In Ohio for example, the attempt to set up
the Kids in place Of the MoSsbacks has resulted
in unspeakable woe. There are other States,
not few, in which Mr.. Clevelands supposed
desire To set aside the old men and the old ideas
will raise n commotion. He might better think
twice about it, A President is apt to be very
miserable when supported only by worthless
or defunct party, but he is apt to be still more
miserable when supported by no party at all.

IN INADEQUATE SENTENCE.

Last Thanksgiving Day man named Nc
Carron made a feroclous assault upon his wife,
and after beating her brutally threw her down
and plunged a shoemakers awl into each of her
eyes, This was the elimination of a career of
wife-beating and drunkenness, and it was
shown on the trial that the prisoner was a ruff
fan of the worst kind. Yesterday he was SEN
fenced for this hideous outrage upon his wife,
and the punishment awarded him was nine
months in the penitentiary. 1t is clear that
this is most inadequate penalty. The crime
committed was peculiarly atrOcious. II showed
a perfectly devilish malice and cruelty. 1t was
committed upon the woman he had sworn to
protect and cherish. 1t was not moreover, the
outcome of a sudden passionate impulse, but
the crowning act of long series of cowardly
and brutal assaults upon the victim. A sen .
tence of twenty years at hard labor would
have been little enough punishment for
80 aggravated and detestable O crime.

Justice. IF q man in New-York can deliberately
destroy his wife's eyes at no greater FISK u HID
self than nine months imprisonment, we may
expect a marked increase in Outrages upon
wives among the villanous class which is gwen
to that practice. And now look at another evi-
dence of the monstrous inquity of the laws or
their administration. In the same city in which
this hulking scOundrel escapes with nine
months imprisonment for so atrOciOus deco,
helpless woman has already been imprisoned
nine months for refusing to answer question,
and she IL liable to pass the remainder OF her
life in Jail for that tremendous offence.
It is not by the occurrence of such cases
that contempt of court can be diminished ;
nor, while such anomalies exist, can 1t be e1-
pected that the public will cherish much
respect for the administration OF the law.
The cases of McCarron and Becky Jones are,
moreover, typical There are many instances
in which what is administered by the courts Is
neither justice nor equity. The public are SO
occupied with their own affairs that they pay
very little attention to these matters, but there
is something radically wrong in the system
under which such glaringinequalitie OF penalty
are possible; which permits an innocent woman
to be imprisoned Indefinitely. and puts
premium upon the most fendish brutality by
visiting upon it punishment such as might be
looked for in a case Of petty larceny.
Moreover, the Penal Code of this State pro-
vides a much more severe penalty for manning.
The law is as follows: "A person who will

The Italian expedition to the coast OF the Red
Sea is designed to have a punitive effect.
few years ago colony or commercial station
was established at Assab Bay on the thirteenth
parallel. Although the district was formally
annexed, the Italian Government disclaimed
any intention of invading the territory or of in
terfcring with the rights of the tribes. The
natives, failing to appreciate the ebenevolentpur-
noses of pacific commercial intercourse, made a
murderOus assault upon small company OF
Italian travellers. The first outrage occurred in
1881 near Peilu and Giuletti and several COM
panions were killed. This has been followed
recently by cOwardly attack upon another
party of travellers, and the murder Of Bianchi,
Nonari and Diana in the Danakl district. These

tive operations on the shores of the Red Sea.
The tribes are to be punished for these mur
ders the dignity of the Italian Crown is to be
maintained ; and incidentally the frontiers of
the commercial station are to be enlarged and
sovereignty is to be asserted over broad sec
ton of territory stretching inland toward
Abyssinia. The Italian column is commanded
by General Saletta and is well equipped for
active service in the interior.
This expedition has been welcomed in Italy
as an indication that the Government envlous

adopting an energetic policy. in like manner
