p/RK POLICE ANO REQ OLAR POLICE.
Can any good reason be given why the Park
nolicc should not be put under the control OF
the Municipal Police Department Tho ar
ranecment which has existed hitherto is in
trinsically absurd and mdefensible. Tho
maintenance of separate police force to guard
a certain section of the city. whilo all the sur
rounding regions are looked after by the rcgu-
lar police is not system that can be approved
when carefully and judicialIy considered Nor
has it worked well in practice. The discipline
of the Park police is VIGOROUSLY moro lax than
that which prevails in the regular police force
Not long ago there was serious crime IN
which a Park policeman and an ex-Park police
man were understanding less than a high
way robbery in Fifth-ave. close to the Park
wall. This occurrence impaired confidence in
the Park police force, and nothing has hap
pencd since to restore it.
This is matter to which the Legislature
NAV wisely devote little attention. A law
consolidating the Park police with the regular
department can easily be framed and the men
who guard the parks be transferred to CORE
spending position on the regular force. After
that they would have to take their chances, and
the Police Commissioners should be empowered
to treat them in the same way as if they had
always worn the blue instead Of tho gray. The
Park Commissioners might demur at being
shorn of part of their authority, but there is
nothing to be lost and probably much to be
gained by the change proposed. The argyll
ments are all in its favor. Simplicity, uni
formity and good discipline all demand it;
and the excellent record which the citys police
force has made furnishes reason to expect that
an improvement in the Park police would fol-
low the consolidation.

A pitiful exhibition of the Governments
parsimony was disclosed yesterday in a murder
trial in the United States Court IN Brooklyn.
The District Attorney stated that he had made
application for a stenOgraphcr, but the Wash
ingtOn authorities had refused. Judge La
combe was right in dcnouncing this policy as
absurd, and he pointed out that the extra time
required to try the case would cost more than
tho stenogaphers services. Economy is. Of
course. desirable; but it ought not to be carried
to the point of absurdity.
II was decided by the Assembly Excise Com
mittee yesterday 10 report the Crosby High
License bill favorably. The committee have
been deliberate in their action, and ii cannot
be charged that they have taken snap judgment
in the matter On the contrary, full oppor-
tllnity has been given for both friends AMI
opponents of the measure to express their
views. But no reason for further delay exists
Let the bill be passed as soon as reported. and
Let the Senate concur promptly. The majority
in the Legislature will thtn have done their
full duty in this matter; the further respon-
sibilty will rest with the Governor.
1t has been made clear by the accident on
the elevated road in Brooklyn that when works
of that kind are in progress careful inspection
should be maintained by the city authorities.
There is at present nothing of the sort. The
City Works Department officials only look
after the placing Of the foundations; when 1t
comes TO the rest of the work it is supposed
that the contractors, from sclf-intcrcst Will
take that nobody is hurt. That has been
shown not to be enough. The dangers from
work of this kind over peoples heads are.
much greater than in ordinary building, on
which constant watch is kept. In this case
the responsibility must be fixed beyond doubt.
and then the persons guilty OF such gross care
lessness be made to bear the consequences.
President Corbn's testimony before the Con-
gressonal Committee which is investigating
the Reading strike contains little that was not
made known in his statement to the public on

The Fisheries Commission have agreed upon
treaty which will probably be transmitted to
the Senate by the President to-day OF course
its provisions have not been made known; but
Secretary Bayard says dcfnitively that it re-
latcs only to the North Atlantic fisheries mot
touching the Bchrng Sea natter and that it
contains nothing bearing on the question OF
commercial reciprocity. Before becoming
binding it must be ratified by the United States
Senate the Queen, the Dominion OF Cannda
and the Province of Newfoundland. If the
authority quoted by our Washington CORE
spondent is to be relied upon, the treaty will
be satisfactory TO Americans. In fact, it is
stated that we have got about all we asked for.
The hcadIand theory contended for by Canada
has been abandoned, and that question will be
settled according to the usage that prevails
among the principal European nations, and
our fishermen are to have their commercial
rights in Canadian ports. If this il correct,
the outcome OF Mr.. Bayards undertaking will
be much more gratifying than VIC have had
reason to expect But will Canada be pleased
with such arrangements?

The fact that the friends of Mr. Cleveland are
by no means sure that they can get the delegates
for him in Buffalo is well calculated to embarrass
them not little. The world long ago got used
to prophets being without honor in his own
country, but it is now for the first time confronted
with the drou spectacle of President who in his
canvass for denomination is unable to count UPON
the support of his own city. Perhaps the Elmira
Democracy will be good enough to state what is
its altitude toward Mr. Hills Presidential boom.
1t is suspected that the Governor would have no
trouble in getting the Elmira delegates.

to The TRIBUNE can at least pride themselvesupon

about it, for three years or more, and cannot yet

Petroleum V. Nasty was on the whole the most
effective political humorist this generation has
known. or late years his work has sometimes
seemed to lack spirit-perhaps because it did not
always have powerful motive. But during the
war and reconstruction periods he was really one
of the large political forces. To his honor 1t is
to be said that he always exerted his rare gifts
OF humor and satire in behalf of principles which
he believed with all his heart essential to the
welfare of his countrymcn. The influence of
his pen was always the right side; and If he
was ever an enemy to any one, 1t was to himself.

Warnoth's Letter.


Thibodaux. Ia, Feb. ri. 1893.
To the Tilbodaux SENTINEL.
After two weeks passed in trihula-
ton and prayer, Henry Clay Warmoth
has published a letter in which he ac
ctt,rs the nomination. as the Republican
candidate for Governor OF the STA of
Louisiana.
In perusing his lettcr the reader il
left in doubt, whether this aspirant for
gubcrnatoriaI honors. is in earnest. or
whether lie is playin oa :; huge. Joke on
the un>uspectlES voter Of the state Of
his adoption.
The author says:
That nothing but d sense Of the
highest obligation" causes his accep-
tanre and his ~bcl;et..tlHt he can admin
lister the government SO rs to promote
the interests Of the whole state.
What wonderful circumstance has .e.t-
Grated >uc.h an idea IL his head, he
fails 20 specify y. but As he has served in
the high office OF Governor ion four
| years, the voters OF the state viii take
his record as their guide.
The people Of Louisiana who are
thiity-tive Years Of a-p remember IN
sorrow and shame tnt Na:muth gr.-g,
! and not till the waters u the .il+,-
! sippi run back To the mJ,iigdins IN t#r
west will they impose such i li.rael
upon tllGil shoulders as the tralS,or-
tation of Warmoth woulL require.
After an effort 10 assure the rsl;t.

turns to his cololtd friends and c;ill,

green trees. and tells them that If the,
G cot HIM they can all mach up 20

SHIPS sailing Oh the ocean. that tiy the
United Sta Is flag, and pIociaims that
this fact is occasioned '.by the ni-.ard
lyspirit .evinced by the Democratic par
~ ia Congress-
Mr. Warlnoth knows as well as all
reading and sensible men are aware
that the Republican party for twenty
five years has had Il law forbidding
the registration OF any vessel in the
United States unless she is native
built.
And he knows also that ships can
not be built in the United States save
ut il cost Of from 25 to 80 per cent more
than similar vessels can be purchased
in the open markets of the world.
Hence our sailors or mariners who
wish to W a ship go to Scotland OF
England and purchase such vessels
rs they desire, and being forbidden to
