When the international maritime conference
meets in this city fortnight hence, it is pos.
sible that the national board Of steam naviga-
ton Of the United States may be represented
by committee, who will lay before the meet
ing protest against the present reckless dis
regard OF human life at sea by the record
breaking passenger ships. The board, at its
Pittsburg meeting, has just listened to q very
timely and sensible address from its
president, Mr.. Cheney, on this subject,
In the course Of which occurred the warning
that We NAV one day see two of these racers
come together in a fog at a speed of forty-five
miles an hour, and 9 thousand lives pay the
penalty Of preferring speed to safety. Doubt
less, till some calamity Of that sort occurs, the
evil will go undated, unless the influential
people Of Europe and America interested in
maritime affairs combine to put an end to it.
III the subject comes up for discussion in the
conference it il likely to provoke an animated
debate, for the ocean greyhound" companies
will not sit idly by and hear themselves and
their methods denounced without entering a
plea in defense. 1t is well enough to increase
steadily the speed of ocean travel, but at least
a. much attention and thought should be de-
voted TO the multiplication Of devices for in
creasing the safety of passengers.

The arraignment Of specific acts Of the party
In power, which appear to be hostile to the
principle Of civil service reform, is an appro-
pirate function Of the reform league. But
such an srraignment will be needed, and bene-
fcial results will flow from it, only in the event
that the head Of the party criticised and the
mass of his political followers and Of the peo-
pie who elected him attach some weight to
