INPRLSONuENT FOR DEBT.

Governor Hill should sign the bill to abolish
the rank abuse OF Imprisonment for debt. The
arguments advanced by the opponents of this
measure are feeble and irrelevant. The
simple fact is that Imprisonment for debt is an
unciviized practice, wholly inconsistent with
the spirit of American Government, palpably
Ineffective, inequitablc to the last degree in
short, an ugly survival from an age when in
dvidual rights were virtually unrecognized,
and when honest men who happened to be un-
fortunate could be flung into Jail for life ut the
suit Of any revengeful petty creditor. 1t is a
practice involving the OdiOus and intolerabe
penalties for venial offences. Nay, it involves
such penalties when absolutely no moral wrong
has been committed as witness the case OF the
man who was six years in prison because his
partner happened to be a scOundrel and had
robbed him and fed.
As to the allegation that such law is needed
for the protection of commerce, there Is no
truth in it. 1t is the stale pretext always put
forward on behalf Of obsolete abuses. New
York has retained this bad law longer than
almost any other part of the world. The princi-
ple of Imprisonment for debt has been aban-
doned in all heightened and progressive COM
munitics with this discreditable exception. Nor
has any harm whatever, but only good. resulted
from the abolition of the practice. In no in
stance has fraudulent Indebtedness been found
to increase upon the disuse of Imprisonment
for debt The ordinary statutes against fraud
have always proved sufficient to keep it in
check. Moreover it cannot be shown that the
existing law has ever operated to check fraud.
The truth is that it has in the majority of cases
let slip the rascals and caught the honest men.
IL has been scourge to the poor and unfortu-
nate, but has had no terrors for adrOlt and
audacious swindlers. 1t is now arraigned as
obsolete, futile, mlschiev Ous inequitaDe and
anachrOnstc. Such law is as out of place in
New York in the year 1886 us a statute author
izng the application of torture would be. The
bill now in Governor Hills hands does not go
so far as it should do, but it is a great improve
mcnt 'on the present law, and it is a measure
which is most unquestlouably in the interest of
the people.

Cp1NT IN PEfCE.

A series Of articles by General Adam Badeau,
disclosing what may be termed the inner
history of General Grants life, is begun In
to-dav's TRIBUNE General Badeau possessed
special and in fact unique opportunities for the
ocouisition of the substance of these papers. AS
General Grants military secretary and aide-de-
camp, ne the companion OF his travels, rs his
Intimate friend and companion, he became
better informed concerning all his AFFAIRS rela-
tions. habits )f thought and tendencies, than
perhaps any other person outside the COM
mandeI's family. General Badeau has written
n military history of Grant the interest Oh WITCH
has been demonstrated by its extensive circuia-
ton. In the papers just begun an en'lreiy
different line of subjects will be dealt wlth'
There were many important and deeply
interesting epsodes in Grants career sub
seouept 70 the close Of the rebellion which
conld not properly be touched upon while he
lived. There were political and other Matters
n knowledge of which, while necessary to any
thing approaching full comprehension OF the
man. were necessarily withheld until now.
MANY of these incidents throw new light
upon Grants character, while it is scarcely
necessary to say that none CT them tend to
derogatc from the esteem felt for him by his
countrymen The matter in General Badcau's
hands, and which he is about to share with the
readers of TIE TRIBUNE, is specially valuable
in its relation to what was always the least un-
derstood thing about General Grant, viz, the
real nature of the man who stood behind that
seemingly impenetrable mask. General
Badeau studied his great chiefs personality, no
doubt much as Bourrenne stndicd Napoeon's,
and net only did his position secretary open
to him many matters unknown to the world at
large, but the clOsencss Of his cOmpanionshp
for many years with General Grant enabled him
to see further into the latter's character than
most men. These papers therefore, on Grant
in Peace, will be full of quite Il new kind of
interest, and they will be valuable helps to that
full and carefully weighed biography of the
greatest American soldier which remains to be
written. The first article ia mainly Introductory.

Int under circumstances which put the odds
heavily against him. The Gaatea is far less
formidable, If her record is not deceptive, than
WAS the Yacht in which Sir Richard is now TAX
ipp n Mediterranean cruise. Four elegant sloops
are prcparing for the honor OF wearing the
American colors. Two of these, the Puritan
and the Priscilla, are known to be boats OF the
first class. The Atlantic, whilo subjected to

which produced the present champion. The
public has q right, therefore, to feel comfort

the responsibility they must assume when TINS

fortunate in having to deal with men in whose
honor and fair sportsmanlike feeling preyl-
ous experience has taught them to place warm
confidence. Mr.. Bcavor-Webb's graceful COM
pliment to American yachtsnen and the gen.
e-al public of the United States" may be
cordially reciprocated. 1t is that proper and
courteous spirit in which both sides are making

that promises a contest worthy Of the splendid

UOW NOT TO 10 II.

II is difficult to deal with people who say that
they know the Democratic party as whole
opposes temperance legislation; they expect
that party to vote against all such legislation,
and against allowing the people to express
their opinions on the subject; they know also
that the great proportion Of Republicans
do favor such legislation. or with willing
readiness support measures to elicit the
decision of the people on this ques-
ton but because some Republicans do not,
these persons propose to defeat the Republican
party and to give power to the Democratic
party. 1t is exactly this state of things which
makes part of the Republicans spurn every
proposition coming from sincere temperance
men among their number. If there are tenn
perance men who cannot see that this is the
obvious effect of their behavior, it is additional
evidence that they are not in the frame of mind
TO help any good cause.
The majority of voters in this country have a
right to rule, and will rule The aim of an in
telligent advocate of temperance should be to
win over to his aid a majority of voters. AT
present. in many Of the States, he finds con-
siderable minority, but not majority. Instead
of trying to win anybody, some deliberately
chose methods which repel and anger as many
voters as possible. This is not practical sense.
1t IS not the way in which temperance men at
the South have secured the remarkable prog
ress which has been witnessed within the past
few years. 1t is not the way in which any good
cause ever has been promoted.
The essence of the matter is that the true
friends of temperance are not agreed as to the
methods which should be adopted That is the
fact, uncomfortable as that fact may be to some
who are impatient to force their own opinion
upon others. In almost every State there are
some sincere and ardent temperance men who
are nevertheless, hostile to prohibition, and
others who are themselves willing to vote for
prohibition but are not willing to make that
issue the basis Of all their action in politics,
and to sacrifice every high and worthy
aim in National and State affairs to this one
purpose. Tne temperance cause will make
progress great deal faster if its most con-
spicuOus advocates cease to treat these sincere
| friends in such fashion as to make them enc
mics. Without their aid q majority will never
be obtained for any temperance measure or
method. Their aid will not be secured by
abuse, by contemptuous disregard of their con-
victiOns, or by trying to bully or beat them
INTO submission.

SALMON IISHING Ar HONE.

Stirring accounts OF the excellent salmon
fishing in the Penobscot have come from Ban
gor during the last fortnight. The abundance
of these noble fish is attributed to the success
of the Fish Commissioners in restocking the
river Aside from commercial considerations,
their wise course has brought one of the best
forms of recreation within reach of their fellow
citizens. The story is familiar of the depopula-
tion of orr salmon rivers. but it is well to re-
member that there was a time when it was
unnecessary to visit the Provinces for the
enjoyment of this magnificent sport, and there
were salmon in nearly all our rivers north of
the Delaware.
Whether the unfortunate results Of criminal
reckessness can be in some measure repaired
depends largely upon the degree of public sup
port which will be given to the work of
restocking our rivers and lakes For four years
the Hudson has been planted with salmon
every spring and several fish have been already
taken including one of ten pounds weight
caught this spring in Grayesend Bay. II young

auently seen in our markets. Bat the greed OF
market fishermen unfortunately put an end to
Professor BairLrs labors. Salmon were once
common in the lakes communicating with the
ST. Lawrence, but they are rare enough at
present.
If there were no other reason, the commercial
value of salmon fisheries would be sufficient war
rant for public support of efforts to restock our
rivers 1t seems difficult matter to make men un-
derstand that the lakes which they control or the
rivers which run by their land may be brought
to yield an income perhaps larger than that from
the land. 1t is always hard to restrain market
fishermen and the so-called "sportsmen who
are no respecters OF seasons aud whose greed ID
without limit, but public opinion has already
recognized the value Of the work done by the
United States Fish Commission, and the pres
el vation of game fish is becoming matter OF
more and more general interest. Perhaps we
may hope for a time when our hard " orklng
business and professional men may recruit
mind and body with the royal sport Of salmon
fishing on our own Atlantic rivers.

deplorable and mischievous. They had no
grievances; they could complain OF no must
ice. No doubt the great majority OF thohl'
both in New York and Brooklyn would much
prefer to &c on peacefully, earning enough 10
prov ide for themselves and their families. Dut
they have been forced into productive ana
demoralizing ideness by the reckless dictatlon
of the turbulent, disorlcrly, anarchlcal ele-
meut. which has been allowed to get the upper

the mischief in the sy stem Of organization TO
which they surrender all their personal liberty.
At the word of few noisy aSitators, whose H.
terests are hostile to those Of the manly anu H.
dustrious members of the association, they
leave their posts, and cause bound!eSS emDar-
rnssmcnt and injury to the community and to
themselves.
Every thinking man among them must see
that the action of yesterday puts them wholly
in tbe vrong. They lose all public sympathy
and good will. Last winter when they struck
for relief from ntolerable hours OF worh anu
for moderate additions to insufficient wages
every reasonable and generous citizen was on
their side and even the gross injustice OF Il
general tie.up to get redress OF grew

they had the people behind them. But when
they BEGAN warfare against few OF their
comrades who were doing them no harm, but
who wanted the chance of earning an honest
living without interfering with the rights OF
their fellows, they lost the favor of the COM
munity. Such contests as theirs must fail when
popular sentiment is overwhelmingly against
them. The strikers are not now cOntendng for
wages or hours. They are making stand
against innocent wage-earners wnom, by their
unwise and indefensible course, they aim to
strike down. "Tie-ups" 10 prevent fellow
workmen from earning their bread are mon
strous crimes.
We hope that reflection will make this clear

lawless authority of an irresponsible committee

ANOTHER CONTEST FOE THE GU

While the general interest in yachting events
is keener this year han last, and while thei ar
rangements are much further advanced now than
they were il the first week of last June it will
be impossible to secure any such profound and
National concern in the coming contest for the
Americas Cup as was developed in the famous
races between Sir Richard Sutton's beautiful
cutter and her American victor. Already dates
have been decided upon for no less than 126
important regattas and cruises most of Which
will occur in the waters about New York. All
the clubs are increasing in membership and in
the number of their weatharly craft, and the
season has opened in a manner that promises
four or five months of delightful sport. The
Puritan's triumph has established the American
fay or for centre board slOOps so firmly that the
voice of cutter-crazy men is low and modest.
They no longer respond to expressions Of a
general preference for s!Oops with offers of odds
on the cutter as against the chosen defender of
the yachting trophy.
There are many and comforting reasons why
no great feeling of alarm need be entertained
for the cups fate. 1t was this apprehension
which lent so much animation and interest to
the races last year. The Genesta had won a
formidable renOwn. She had done admirable
work and was clearly the best all-weather boat
in British waters. Her ambitious designer,
proud as he well might be Of her record, was
determined to make her do her very best. And,
indeed, he made US fight as we have never
fought before since the saucy schooner America
astonished aud disappointed the Royal
Squadron at COwes thirtyfve years ago. In
preparing to meet the Genesta, and in defeat
ing her we have won all the advantage which
enabled Mr.. BeavorWebb to offer 50 serious "a
menace last year.
