What with earthquakes and cyclones tho year
1885 has already attained what John Milton
would have STYLED q bad eminence." But accord
ing to an old prophet vino Aourlshed in the thir-
teenth century, Is is TO yield other notable things
before it passes away. He fOretold. as The st.
aness Gazette recalls that during this year there
would be revolution in one of the great States
of Christendom that new form of government
would be established in n republic. that great
prince would ascend q throne, that the grape crop
would be good in only few districts or course
there is nothing in the Constitution OF the United
States that obliges one to take stock in any OF
these prophecies But it Is only fair to the prophet
to state that it is reported that he oreold the APP
pearance Of Napoleon the Italian war and other
matters of moment. 1t certainly looks as though
this year would bear watching.

Both the yachts on which the eyes of two
great nations are fixed are now out of the

will put them in the best condition possible for
the races next week. The Galatea was found
to be in unexpectedly bad condition below the
water-line, but paint and potlead will soon put
her in racing trim. If the wind serves on Tues
day, both sloop and cutter will be ready to do
their prettiest. An interesting race is certain,
no matter which boat wins.

Persistence is an excellent quality; but some
men are altogether too persistent in bad
cause For instance, the man Hillman, who
tiled to kill himself at the Grand Union Hotel
the other day and fred several shots with more
or less success has just died at Bellevue Hos
pital, virtually because he refused to take food.
He had undergone trephining and tracheOtomy
and had nearly recovered But he was deter
mined not to live and practically starved him
self to death. Almost irresistibly the question
arises, Were the efforts made to save his life
worth while7 Certainly self-murder sh ould be
discouraged by every means, but it is doubtful
whether the law which makes such an act a
crime has had the deterrent effect which its
advocates expected.

In refusing to direct the Excise Board to
give license to the resort known as the
Haymarket" Judge Ehrlich has not only
needed the force of public opinion but he has
shown that the courts cannot be used by un-
scrupulous persons to accomplish unworthy
ends. Any other decision would have been
public misfortune. The facts that the place is
of bad repute and has long been the resort of
improper characters are held to be sufficient
reasons for withholding license. This ought
TO settle the question SO far as similar places
are concerned. The same judges decision in
;he East River Park case was looked on with
regret as establishing an unfortunate precedent.
This ruling will restore confidence that en-
trely prop, r decisions by the Excise Board are
not to be overruled in the courts in the interest
OF persons who have little, if any, respect for
the laws.
1t will be seen by an article in another column
that Governor Hill has made up bis mind tC
rmove General Shaler from the Board OF
Health. The charges against General Shaler
were made several months ago, but the hearing
was postponed until after the criminal trial,
when. no defence being made, the Mayor re-
commended the Generals removal. Governor
Hills decision is expected next week. All
