ought to be careful not to convict himself Ot
inconsistency OF something worse. When he
refused tn give these corporations the extra
pay Congress voted to them, and they refused
to carry the mails. Nr. Villas declared that he
didn't care he could get the Nations foreign
letters carried just as we'll ly somebody else.
So he arranged tie fshng-smack transporta-
ton system, and when the merchants and
traders of the country said it was not good, the
head of the Post Office Department declared
tlat on the contrary IT was better service than
when he sed the steamship lires Ii the Post
master General told the truth then, why is he
anxious now to secure the re-enaciment OF the
old law compelling American steamship lines
to carry the mail when it was offered and to
take what the Government chose to pay
Isn't it clear that he is in an awkward position
and wants Congress 10 help him, but that ne
still is sptefnllg determined not to pay the
steamship c0mpan es for their service
The suggestion was made by THE TRIBUNE
several weeks ago that Corporation Counsel
L,combe could take no more effective step to-
ward protec ing the city from bogus claims
than by procuring the Indictment of persons
who he believed had sworn falsely i'll neg
ligence suits against the Mayor. Mr.. LacOmbe
mas shown his purpose to put THIS suggestion TO
the test by carrying TO the Distrlct-Attorney
the facts III case presenting the most glarlng
instances OF suspicious testimony. or which the
Grand Jury have indicted the person com
planned of If in every instance where perjury,
rather than bona fde damages IS the basis OF
the suit, the perjurer can be compelled to face
d Jury in criminal court, bogus negligence
actions against the city will soon disappear
from the court calendars. If these precautions
are not taken, MI. Wellman and the other trial
assistants of Mr.. LacOmbe can scarcely expect
that they Will always have the same good fort
une that followed them last year in preventing
such judgments from being obtained against
the city.

Booth appeared as Brntus storm was prevalent yes

Recorder Smyth seems to misunderstood
sadly the disposition of the Department OF
Public Works. When he had to dismiss Court
yesterd y because the draughts in the room
made one of the jdFymen i'll he said that the
condition of this part of the brown-stone build
ing had often been the cause of complaint from
him and his associates; but that he supposed
the Department of Public Works would do
nothing until some of its officers had been COM
PEELED to sit there for "A few days This is too

The suggestions as to the usefulness of free
public library as a part of Our educational sys-
TEN in this city which f. w. DevOe contributes
to az other column this morning are worthy the
careful attention of all who desire to promote
the diffusion of intelligence. Mr. DevOe has
proved in many ways has unselfsh devotion to
the true interests of our in stitutiOns of learn
ing and his views are entitled to much respect.
But the serious drawback to the establishment
of great free library in this city at the public
expense Is a financial one. With the vast sums
which the new aqueduct and the new dams and
reservoirs will >wailOwup, and with the millions
that the new parks will cost impending, besides
the threatened outlay Tor the Harlem River
Bridge, how can New York afford to spend
$75O,OOO on a library at present 2 And the
three e-quarters of million would only start the
project. Every one knows how the cost of pub
lie buildings and public enterprises keeps swell
ing until the total becomes of hideous bulk.

The commission to find out the best way OF
putting telegraph wires under ground does not
make headway with speed that takes away the
breath of the commissioners. But if Mr.. Cur
lens bill In regard to the matter becomes law
it would be safe to wager about million dollars
to cent that the day when the poles come
down will be further off than ever. This
energetic Democratic Senator wants Mayor
Grace, the president of the Board of Aldermen
and Recorder Smyth to form another cOmmi,-
sion to decide how best to dispose of such wires
as they "deem necessary" to put under ground.
These three officials of course, have no time
even to decide how many telegraph poles or
how many miles of wire could be put through

Cullen want the poles to stay up7

Apparently Congressional investigation into
the Pan Electric telephone scandal, under the
Hanback, resolution, will not amount to any
thing. Its scope is not wide enough. Doubt
less Mr. Garland and possibly Mr.. Lamar will
regret this. The Attorney General must feel
that as an honest and badly slandered man he
is entitled to vindication. He can get it if he
really wants it, or at least he can take steps
thereto, and yet not go contrary to precedent
AS was pointed out yesterday i'll The TRIB-
UNE, some thirty five years ago Secre-
tary of War, G. w. Crawford, asked the
House to inves igate chai ges made against him
in connection with what was known as the Gal
phin claim. Even If there were no precedent
for it Nr. Garland has the right to be vindl
Gated.

above the waters, and the effects of the
general upheaval were felt as far as the
American coast of the Pacific.
1884-'5.-A long continued series of
shocks in the Spanish peninsula, which
began on December &c. 1884, and contin-
ued with irregular interruption until the
middle of April, 1885. The greatest de-
struction of life and property was in An
dalusia. Altogether 745 persons were kill
ed and Lass injured, and $1,000 buildings
were more or less damaged, 400 of the
number being completely wrecked. Wide
spread restitution and suffering resulted
from this visitation. Towards the close of
November there was renewal of the dis
turbances. which extended also to the ad-
jacent African coast.
1854 series of shocks began in the
Vale of Cashmere on May 10. and contin-
ued at irregular intervals until the middle
of August. The city Of Serinagur and
numerous villages were almost completely
destroyed, thousands of lives were lost, and
great destruction resulted from the killing
Of cattle and destruction of crops.
1886, August 28.--In the Morea and the
neighboring island of Zante, several villages
were completely destroyed and three hun
dred lives lost.

Fair sister of the South, thy dole
Has reached our Utmost hearts,
With wreck and terror of the soul
Amid thy homes and marts.
VIII ere yestermorn in pride ana mlrtn
Thou sat'st beside the sea,
Now trembling on the trembling earth
Thou'rt deep in misery.
Cheer UP, sweet sister Of the Gray!
Once face to face as foes,
We now love better for the fray;
Yea, pity warmer glows
That from thy outer marges came
Our huge Swamp Angels roar,
And round thy well-kept lines the flame
OF fight ragged ever more.
Our war-bolts bore fierce message then
Among thy towers and walls,
And Sumter gave back fierce amen
With crashing cannon balls;
But, God be praised! on wings of peace
Came smilin from above
An Angel, who bade combat cease
And strife give way to love.
w.
So now we give as thou wouldst give
Were ours thy day of woe;
And long may our great Union live,
And long may all men know
That heart to heart. in Joy or pain,
Though all the green Garth quake,
We bear love will stand the strain
And never bend nor break.
