SOUND And PATRIOTIC IDEAS.

General Harrison continues to make most
favorable impression upon the country by his
excellent addresses to visiting delegations. He
discusses public questions with originality and
force, and is candid and unequivocal in his sup
port of all recognized principles of the Re-
publican party. His speech to the delegation
from Henry County is important as containing
a disclosure of his sympathy with direct and
practical measures for restoring the American
flag to the high seas While repealed by tho
suggestion that Americans should surrender
to foreign producers the best market in the
world, he is not satisfied with n policy of COM
mercial isolation. 1--WE do not mean to be
content,u he declares, with oar own market.
We should seek to promote closer and more
friendly commercial relations with the Cen
trail and South American States" He then
specifies the means that are essential to this
end These are regular mail communications
with those countries the establishment of
American steamship lines and liberal. aid to
those lines in the form OF mail contracts. lie
is not to be frightened by clamorous outcries
Of subsidy legislation" He understands what
is the settled policy of England and other
maritime nations in promoting foreign COM
HlcrCc anu opening HIdTkclo lOI pTOu-
ucts abroad. lie advocates the adoption by the
United States Of similar measures Of equitable
dealing and enlightened self-nterest.
"The Evening Post" processes to find some
thing comic in the notice which General Har-
rison serves at the outset on the Central and
South American States that they must not be
allowed to sell their commodities in our mar
kets.n No such notice is served in his speech,
since he is not as ignorant Of the facts of the
case as our free-trade neighbor apparently is.
The Central and South American States arc
now selling to the United States more than
twice as much as they are buying in return.
Brazil comes into the American market and
sells S52 900, 900 year and buys SO 100000
in exchange. Venezuela sells $1,000 900 and
buys $1,000, 900. The Central American States
sell to our merchants twice as much as they
buy from the United States; and the list might
be greatly extended. Those countries are al
ready in the American market with cOmmod-
tiles which in the main do not compete with
anything that is produced here. The problem
to be solved is that Of equalizng the exchanges
by promoting American exports to those coun-
tries General Harrison points to the true
solution. He favOrs the establishment of
American steamship lines and a liberal policy
in the payment of Government mail trans
portation. If direct and regular communica-
ton be opened under the American flag be-
tween the ports Of the United States and those
Of South and Central America, foreign mar
kats will be opened to our export trade. 1t
will not be question Of our selling to them
and not allowing them to sell in return, for
we already buy from them twice as much as
they buy from us.

ABA TING THE BUBTAIL NUISANCE

THE TRIBUNE of last Sunday called atten-
ton to the fact that it was not necessary, as
commonly supposed to apply to the Legislature
to compel the Twenty-third Street Crosstown
Railroad Company to place conductors as well
as drivers on its cars We showed, by refer
ence to its charter, that that corporation could
not evade the cxigent duty if the Common
Council passed an ordinance providing for its
performance. It's charter, as we pointed out,
does not authorize the railroad to run any OF
its cars without conductors, and it requires that
the company shall submit to any reasonable
regulation imposed by the Common Council.
Acting upon this hint the Board of Alder
men, at meeting held on Tuesday, passed
The necessary ordinance. After August Of
this year it will not be lawful for the Twenty
thrd-st road "to operate any cars upon any
portion Of its route in the streets Of the City
of New York without providing for the opera
ton and management Of such a car a con-
ductor as well as driver.D This certainly is
reasonable regulation. The public safety
demanded it. The recent hearing before the
Coroner demonstrated that the cars without
conductors were responsible for a large num-
Der of serious accidents. Let the good work
proceed. The people will not be satisfied until
all the bobtail cars on all the roads have dis
appeared. The Board Of Aldermen have made
a good beginning and deserve the thanks Of
all those who believe that the best use you
can put nuisance to is to abate it.
The companies. however, seem bound to
resist all attempts to do away with what is
both dangerous nuisance and an imposition
That they would do so was foregone con-
clusion. They threaten to defy the ordinance
passed by the Aldermen, and it is probable
that nothing short OF a decree from one Of
the higher courts will bring them to terms.
This view Of the matter is confirmed when we
hear representative Of one of the companies
declaring that the strong feeling which has
been aroused ON the subject is nothing but a
maudlin sentiment" and that the bobtail car
is convenient and economical, The stock

The reorganized Aqueduct Commission be-
gan its work yesterday, all the members but
one being in attendance. General Duane was
elected president--a selection which Will give
the public more satisfaction than the retention
of MIR. Sheehan as secretary. The giving of
this place to Mr.. Shcehan by the old Board
when Mr.. McCulloh was displaced was piece
of politics not likely to prevail in the new
Board. The Commissioners wisely decided to
look into the matter Of inspectors. The test
mony taken by the Fassett Committee showed
that some of these had been bribed, and that
collision between the inspectors and contract
ors prevailed so that signals were given when
the engineers were approaching. The work is
now drawing to a close, moreover, and a re-
duction in the number of inspectors will soon
be in order.

In good old times a thunderstorm on u sultry
day was trusted not in vain TO cool the air and
bring refreshment to man and beast. But in re-
cent years the relation of electrical displays to tho
subsequent condition of the atmosphere certainly
seems TO be less satisfactory. dispatch an
nounces that three terrific thunder-storms in Chi
cago on Tuesday left the heat more oppressive
than before, and this fact only repeats an occur
renee which is constantly recorded by the news
papers and constantly verified in individual ex.
perience. What is the matter? Is lightning played
out? Some patient investigator of physical phe-
nomena ought TO turn his attention to the subject.
1t is of practical interest to millions.
