please attitude except as respects the
good OF the people, when its attitude is
instantly that of that eternal vigilance
which is the price of liberty-or, what is
better, of being protected from the liber-
ties which criminals insist on taking with
one. As a matter of fact, as the Tribune
says, twelve good policemen have been
dismissed from the force without cause.
The Tribune failed to add, what appears
to be the fact, that fifteen members OF
the "Mac" fraternity-hitherto the special
bete noir of the Times-have been added
to the force. If this thing goes
on it may become question
of the citizen arming himself
against the poliee-it may be individual
or revolutionary. When a reporter of
the HERALD called Mayor Hazards at
tention to the peculiar character of some
of the new names on the force, that
gentleman said, "No doubt some of these
men are not what they should be, but il
they do anything wrong they will have
to CO."
And so we begin reign of righteous
ness inaugurated by the "God and
Morality" party. "If these men do any
thing wrong they will have to CO." and
with this, perforce, we shall have to be
contented,

The proprietorship of the San Fran
cisco EUening Post has passed by pur-
chase TO Mr.. George B. Heazleton, for a
long tim o the Washington correspondent
of the San Francisco Chronicle, and a
gentleman who, when not in Washing
ton, has been for years a valued mem
Der of the staff of that powerful journal.
Mr.. Heazleton is journalist of marked
force and capability, and he will doubt
less shortly make the Post feel the force
of his individuality. Without any dis
paragement to that journal we may be
permitted to remark that, ever since it
passed from the control of Colonel
John P. Jackson and his partner, Gen
eral Sheehan, it has been recommended
rather by good intentions than by high
grade of performance.

THE details of the terrible calamity at
Samoa show the dangers which confront
the powers in trying to make perman-
ent naval occupation Of that group Of
islands. Hurricanes and cyclones come
up without giving the slightest warning.
They fall like thunderclap out of a
clear sky, giving no warning and afford
ing no time to escape from the reef
begirt harbor. The dreadful loss which
the German feet has met-twice that Of
our own with less than half the number
of men we had there-will probably
make the German people ask If it is
worth the risk to try to enforce their
supremacy in Samoa? The value of the
commerce of the islands would not re-
pay in many years even the value of the
vessels lost, without regard to the loss Of
life, which is inestimable. Bismarck
may have to meet a storm at home on
this subject which will cause him to re-
gret the brusque and arrogant course he
has pursued in the fatal Samoa contro-
troversy.

Train Robbers spotted.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, March 81. This
morning news reached this place that
the four robbers who held up the At
lantic and Pacific passenger train at
Canon Diablo, Arizona, on Wednesday
last have been located. Special Officer
Holton located two of them at Moenco-
pie Wash, about eighty-fve miles north
of Winslow. Another party of officers
located the other two near Chaves Pass,
about thirty-five miles from Winslow.
Ths robbers horses had given out and
they were compelled to stop for rest.
Another posse will start from Winslow
tonight for both places, and the capture
of the robbers is almost certain.

Terrible Fight with Redskins.

CHICAGO, March 31.-A special dis
patch from Washburn, N. D., to local
paper says that M. Williams, and his
brother, Tom Williams, trappers, few
woeks ago went up the Little Missouri
trapping. The second morning after they
went into camp they found their traps
had been visited and the game taken out.
Next night, Tom remained out to watch
for the thieves. In the middle of the
night his brother was awakened by sew
eral shots, and sprung out of his bed in
the cabin to see Tom fall across the door
way corpse. Fifteen Indians came up
and opened fire on the survivor. Will
lisms protected himself as we'll as he
could, and opened fire on the Indians
with two heavy revolvers, and, accord.
ing to the dispatch, managed to kill
eleven of the Indians, when the other
four fed. Williams, although severely
wounded, managed to bury his brother,
and drifted down the river in boat to
Fort Stevenson.

TIE country never looked better than
it does now. Mountain, hill plain and
valley are one beautiful mass of vegeta-
tion. The growth of alfilleria is some
thing wonderful. It's spears can be seen
peering above the malva, even where
that weed is several feet high. The
grain fields are in most luxuriant state
of growth, the vines are putting forth
leaves, the fruit-trees are in blossom,
and nature is everyw here exuberant in
fertile promise. Nothing but an un-
precedented calamitycan prevent season
of the most opulent and gratifying pro-
duction in this county, and we look for
ward to the returns from our ample crops
to place an amount of money in circula-
tion that win be sufficient to make times
as brisk as they were in the meridian of
our boom days.

able to take any precautions for safety or
escape. Reference has been made to the
fact that the English man-of-war had
steam up and was thereby enabled to
get out of the way of the hurri-
cane. My experience has been
that neither steam nor sail would
avail much in such a storm, and the
probabilities are that the Calliope was
some distance from Apia, headed for
Sydney. There are no explicit rules laid
down by the Navy Department regarding
the question of keeping up steam or the
supply of fuel on board a vessel, those
being matters to be decided by
the Commander, and the rules
might be changed every month
or every week according to circumstances.
There seems to be shortagein the supply
OF coal and the recent shipment of that
necessary article from Philadelphia will
probably require three months for
delivery at its destination, for it will
have to go around the Cape, and in a
sailing vessel too"
SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-In naval
and shipping circles the question has
been discussed as to the best and earliest
means for supplies from here to reach
Samoa, if this Government should
deem it advisable to send them to
the shipwrecked officers and seamen.
The Zealandia, which sails for New
Zealand April 9th, carries nearly 1000
tons of wheat for Sydney and Melbourne
alone, owing to the shortage in the col
onial wheat crop. She will therefore
not have much room for additional
freight. 1t is thought, however. that
the Navy Department could ar
range to have the Zealandia make
a detour direct to Apia or
this trip instead of making
Tutuila, her port of call. This would
enable her to render any urgent assist.
ance, and also procure later and more
direct advices from Africa and Admiral
Kimberly. The New Zealand Govern.
ment has an agent here, and such ar.
rangements would have to be made by
the United States between him and the
Ocennic Steamship Company.

experience and sagacity at too high a
standard in our remarks about his bunco
mishap. He never practiced before the
criminal courts, nor had he had any
special or general knowledge of the ways

had read the newspaper accounts of the
manner in which Charles Francis Adams
was taken in, he knew nothing of the
details of the swindle. He was, there

CINCINNATI, March 31.-A terrible

passed over this city this afternoon.
Many houses in the southwestern and
northern part of the city were unroofed,

DAYTON, Ohio, March 31.-A cyclone

feet above the roof, fell with an awful
crash into the church, wrecking every-
thing under it.

rooIing with Fire.


The refusal OF the Senate to recon-
slider its action in rejecting the nomina-
tion of Murat Halstead TO the German
mission, will lead to line of criticism
which that body is hardly prepared to
meet. 1t has rejected his nomina-
tion solely and exclusively upon the
ground that, as editor of an influential
paper, he denounced the action ofcertain
members OF that body upon matter OF
great public importance. This he had a
right to do. Indeed it was his duty to
do SO if he believed, as the country be-
lieved, that the alleged bribery
and corruption in the cleo
ton of Payne to the United States
Senate was true. An investigation of
the charges was demanded of the Senate,
and certain Republican Senators refused
to vote for such investigation. Their
action provoked the criticism which
they now put forward as the
reason for refusing to confirm
Mr.. Halstead's nomination. The Sem
ators cannot afford to make this
fight. The country is beginning to
open its eyes to the frequency
with which Observation-Disclosures
ing no claim to distinction but
their money-get elected to seats in
the Upper House. The belief is gaining
ground that in most cases, when this class
of men get into the Senate, they get
there through the corrupt use of money
in the State Legislatures. Let the people
once become thoroughly imbued with
this idea, and cry will go up
all over the country that will pruduce a
change in the present mode of choosing
Senator's. 1t is not to be presumed that
in O country where the ballot is
free and the people the source OF
political power, money will be per-
mitted to pave the way to
a seat in the highest legislative body in
the land. A way will be found to purify
Senatorial elections. There were strong
reasons why Republican Senators should
have favored an investigation of the
election of Payne from Ohio. The air
was rife with rumors of the lavish and
corrupt use of money at Colum-
bus, and many suspicious circum-
stances tended to give counten-
ance to such rumors. On party
grounds alone, Republican Senators would
have naturally favored investigation, for
in close Senate it gave another seat to
their opponents The fact that some of
the Republican Senators who voted
against investigation were also under a
cloud of suspicion in regard to the
mode of their own election, made
their action still further open to criti-
cism, and justified Halstead in the atti-
tude he took in his paper. Now, if the
Senate is going to exercise its functions
for revengeful personal purposes in
stead of for the public good,
it will challenge kind of criticism much
more d angerous to itself than any it has
had at the hands of Mr.. Hslstead. That
gentleman can afford to lose the German
mission; but the United States Senate
cannot afford to make a fight
that will very possibly lead to
thorough investigation by the people
into the modus operandi by which, it is
shrewdly suspected, majority of the
Senators succeed in getting elected.

A Newly Discovered Crevice in the Rocks
at Quebec Threatens 900 People with
Disaster.
QUEBEC, Sept. 24.-Denis Berrigan, son
of Thomas Berrigan, who died on Satur-
day, is dead. His back was broken. The
body of Mrs. McKinnon, who was visit
ing friend at the time of the slide, and
was entombed in the ruins, was found
standing erect. About sixty men en-
ployed by the city are now working at
the debris with steam engines and der
ricks. The work progresses rapidly.
Persons well acquainted with the locality
say that the number missing is greater
than fifteen. The bodies of Thomas No
Ian and wife were found locked in each
others arms. Maj. Mayne, of the Royal
Engineers, and several other engineers
are making an examination of the ter
race and the adjoining rocks. A newly
discovered crack runs 200 feet under the
southeast end of the Dufferin terrace and
divides it in two wedge-like segments.
1t has widened In three days frem few
inches to about five feet, and is the prime
factor of the dreaded second avalanche.
The engineers express the opinion that
the houses in Champlain street, on both
sides and on the whole length of the
street, numbering about 900, should be
deserted at once. The continual chem
ical dissolution of the face of the rock
threatens its demolition. Another catas-
trophe may soon be recorded if means
are not taken to remove the occupants of
the houses in the dangerous locality.
