4 GLANCE At THE ErcIsE couMIsNoy.

partment Of our city government 10 show ihai
il is utterly inefficient, il not also corrupt The
Fassctt Committee has been asking questions
of an inspector in the Office OF the Excise Com
mission a. tO the manner in which the Com
mission does its work. and already the fact Is
established that none of the purposes for which
the Commission exists is even attempted 10 bee
carried out In salaries alone the city spend,
the huge fortune Of S1li,Nu0 III the CommN-
sion's Office for which ii receives no service
that if would not be better without. Accord
ing TO the testimony of this inspector, 10 sort
of inouiry /, made into the character Of those
who apply for licenses, nor are any rules laid
down governing the granting of licenses which
insure or tend TO insure orderly and decent re-
sorts, On the contrary, tho granting or with
holding Of the permission to sell Is mere mat
ter of favor, of animosity or OF indifference.
Nor is there any proper system oi Inspection
after licenses are granted The saloons are
not visited to ascertain how they are kept and
who resort to them. They may be the Nilcst
dcns on earth-as many of them arc-but I'M
less complaints are lodged against them they
are permitted to pursue their Infamous bu>-
ness without hindrancc. And even when com
plaints are lodged, as the facts upon which
the present Commissioners were indicted clear
" show. the chances are ten 10 one that moth
ing will come of thcm-the one chance being
due to the possibility that the person com
plaincd Of will not bribc his way along.
The Committees witness attempted to cx
plain the absence OF any system Of inycstiga-
ton and regular inspection 10y declaring that
the Excise Department had 10 facilities for
making it, lie talked mere nonsense, and
highly aggravdting nonsense, too. 1t is the
kind of driyel that the city officials always
plead when they are called to account for their
misconduct and nellicicncy. No facilities, in
deed Here is a city paying nearly $50, ,00o,-

are no less than sixty seven inspectors on the
pay rolls of the Excise Department. each re-

spectors, and yet none need visit more than
five places per day. As matter of fact, how
ever, there are only about 1000 resorts in
Ncw-Y York requiring more than occasional at
tention, and the force at the Commissions
disposal could be reduced to IA third of its
present number and still be large enough to
do all its work well and faithfully

Archbishop Ireland is roundly abused by South
crn journals for declaring in 81. Augustine that
Sc 40 church is n tit temple of God where a man
because of his color is excluded or made to
cnpy a corner" He spoke as consistent Roman
Catholic when he denounced the shame and scan
dial of putting negroes IN corners and lofts of
churches Of his communion. and of closing the
doors of Catholic institutions against uniortunatcs
of the colorcd race. To the honor of that Church
he it, said that prejudice and exclusion grounded
upon race have never been tolerated in the cstab-
Iished practice of its ministratons to mankind
Its cospel has ever been "A gospel of social equality
in the sight of Heaven.

The Presbyterian General Assembly has not
vet reached the point of deciding upon the
kind and degree of revision that are desirable,
but from the conciiatory spirit already mani
tested it is evident that the changes will be
made without acrimony and without any break
in the good feeling that prevails. The dis
cussions in the Presbyteries seem to have ex-
hausted whatever rancor this burning ques-
ton has produced, and the minority appear
disposed to acquiesce gracefully in the de-
csion of the majority, though they will omit
no endeavor to guide and restrain the revision
lists in the work that is now seen to be inevi-
table. No mistake was made when DIR. Pat
ton was made chairman of the committee to
canvass the replies Of the Presbyteries to the

The fagrantly dishonest character of the
Hudson County election last fall, as revealed
in the testimony taken by the New-Jersey Sen
ate Committee, left the majority of the com
mittee no alternative but to declare that Mr.
Stuhr received majority of the votes honest
~ cast for Senator, and to recommend the
unseating of Mr.. Mcdonald. The minority
naturally attempted to vindicate Mr.. Me
Donalds claim to his seat. On the rcsolu-
ton to give Mr. Stuhr the place of which he
has been deprived up to this time, party lines
were closely drawn, the vote being TO g.
Mr.. Mcdonald not voting. That the decision
of the Senate is a righteous one will not be
disputed by fair-mnded men.

River and Harbor bill making appropria-
tons amounting to almost S21 100000 was
reported in the House yesterday. This is a
big sum, though it is nearly $500, 600 less
than that called for by the bill which Presi-
dent Cleveland refused either to approve or to
veto two years ago. The people are in favor
of liberal expenditure of money for improve
ments in rivers and harbors, provided there
is need for them; but they will not sanction
extravaganza.

sumed on May in the various restaurants and
beer-gardens of the Prater Park, where the great
labor demonstration took place. Hops are noted
for their soporifc properties. Under the circum-
