SEVERAL young men of Milford
Neck took exception to our local last
week relative to the dishonesty of
some person or persons unknown, who
have been stealing whips, blankets
and robes from teams at dances or
social gathe rings. They claim that
they can not rest under this Rspersion
of their character without striking
back, and make charges of the same
offence by the town boys-whOm they
claim frequently go loaded with whis-
key and deliberately lie to cover their
own misdeeds. OF course there are
two sides to this question, but the fact
still remains, that some one has been
guilty of mis-deeds, and before the mat
ter is settled there will be row
unless the erOgHery stops.

AT its regular meeting on Monday
evening last B Company N. G. D.,
unanimously adopted a resolution
which turns the money to be received
from various sources during 1888, into
the company treasury; for the purpose
of paying off the debt on the new ar
mory. Under this resolution the debts
will be paid at once, and the building,
finished on certificates ofindebtedness.
When this is done Milford will have
capaciOus room suitable for holding
suppers, fairs, festivals, balls, enter
tainmants, etc. This will afford to
the company a source of revenue as
well as an armory; which will make
it an organization profitable to belong
to. We think the action of the men
on Monday night wise and commend
able.

SAYING LIFE THE FIRST DUTY.

Colonel Hahn, the general manager of the
elevated roads Of this city is reported in "The
New York Sum- as saying that the guard who
was responsible for the horrible death of Philip
Raer on the Second-ave. road on Thurs
dav night was simply doing his duty. Colonel
Hahn adds: " lie might possibly have saved
Mr. Daer's life by opening the gate and pulling
him in, but he was not at liberty to use any
discretion The poor fellow probably
has family to support on his dollar and hall
n day; he couldn't afford to risk his job. lie
was between the devil and the deep sea-" III
Colonel Hahn is correctly reported in The
Sun"-and his expressions as given above agree
nearly in substance with those reported in other
papers-the spirit which dictates such an ut
terance is heartless and brutal
Every one who Is familiar with the elevated
system here by daily experience and daily
discomfort knows that the roads are managed
with little regard TO public convenience and
with little effort to please their patrons. But
for their general manager to intimate as rule
governing The conduct of the system, or sup
posed by the employees to govern it, that any
employe who ventures to depart at all from his
-
human life will be dismissed from his position,
Is an affront to the instincts OF humanity that
ought to be resented by this community II
the present manager Of the elevated roads
thinks so little of human life that he insists that
no one in his employ shall endcavor to save
man from a horrible death for fear he may
lose his position by breaking rule OF the com
pany, then it is the plain duty Of the directors
to get a new manager as soon as possible.
We do not believe that the stockholders
IN the rapid transit roads, or the directors
either, will approve or sanction such brutality
"a this. When it comes to question of saw
ing human life all rules must GO and any man
agcr who gives his employees no discretion when
the fate of a fellow creature is at stake, Is not
fit for his place.

ENGLANUS FOREIGN POLICY.

Lord Saiisbury's speech at the Guildhall re-
veaed the conservative character Of his diplo-
macy. When Lord BeacOnsfeld was astOnish-
ing England with his policy of Oriental intrigue
and theatrical displays, he had no more sub
missive follower than the present Primo Min
lister. Time and official responsibilities have
counteracted the influences of lingo diplomacy.
Lord Salisbufy's tone does not now differ es-
sentially from the general tenor of Mr.. Glad
stones ideas of foreign policy. He lays more
clined to do upon the necessity for defences
and preparations on scale with the magnitude
of the Empire and its commercial interests. He
also accentuates the fact that the previous Gov
eminent is responsible for the present Egyptian
policy. and thereby intmates that in his juds-
ment there were radical mistakes made when
Lord Wolseley was sent to restore order on the
Nile as a European rather than an English
agent. But while he insists upon these reserva-
tons, he discusses the Continental policy OF
ornaments in the spirit of the Manchester
school, An exhausting system of continuous
preparation for war, hy which l2,OOO,OOO
men are kept under arms at enormous cost
does not commend itself as worthy of English
IlfdIy' ANoH-lheOi 'N"'i"' al
European affairs he virtually proclaims as the
true policy for Great Britain. At the same
time he protests vehemently against reckless
disregard of defensive ornaments and adequate
precautions for protecting the vast commercial
interests of a worldwide Empire.
1t is necessary, however, to discriminate
sharply between the tendencies of Lord Sails
burys diplomacy and those Of Lord Granvie's
administration Of the Foreign Office. While
Liberal ideas have been followed in the main
Conservative methods have shown no signs Of
vacillation and weakness. Lord Granville wa
