The gentlemen who compose the harbor
line commission have wholly mistaken the
purpose for which the commission Was
created. and are entirely out Of line with
the spirit in which their work should be
done They are attempting to carry out Z
policy outside Of both the letter and
spirit Of their instructions, and wholly In
consistent with the tone Of legislation 70
specting the tide lands.
The question q to the ownership Of these
lands was determined BY the Legislature
last winter, the decision being favorable to
the improvsr and shore-owner. The harbor
line commission has no right to ut In
judgment on this question-its business d
Of another sort. and to b pursued II con-
Jbrmity with the action Of the legislature
The motive Of the harbor line reserve was
to protect the interests Of commerce-this
and nothing more.
But the Commissioners seem imbued
with the idea that it Is their duty or priv
ilege to sit In judgment upon the work Of
the Legislature, and to consider over
again question already settled
In their superior wisdom
they have reversed the legislative decree
which established the rights of the i'm
provers and have proceeded to confis-
cate that which the law Of the state has
declared BY clear implication. If not sx-
pressly, TO be private property.
This mistake rests upon the wholly false
assumption that the purpose Of the harbor
front reserve was to reclaim property
for the state. This assumption, whom
Ill the tide land legislation Is considered
together as it must be to b. properly
comprehended, is absurd. The harbor
front reserve was to protect the commercs
Of the state, to give the state . voice in
regulating wharfage and shipping rates.
nothing more. There was no claim against
property in it.
Again, it might be supposed that .
commission, acting for the public, would
seek to find an easy and equitable adjust
ment Of the vexed questions before them.
But not SO. They appear as partisans, and
hot partisans at that, in question upon
which the future prosperity of the city is
involved. 1t has been necessary to restrain
them by legal process from doing hastily.
when there Is no necessity for haste,
thing which may seriously damage the
city. In this whole matter thew have
shown bad Judgment and bad spirit. Bet.

BIZ WAY or ILLUSTRATION.

Ireland's relations to Great Britain will
serve to illustrate or impress the extreme
hberality Of the Republican party in its deal
lngs with the dominant power in the South
ern states Of our Union. Sucn illustrations
are frequently made necessary by the inn
possibility OF forming cool and accurate
Judgment in respect to exciting subjects by
those who are stirred by those excitements
or in the midst of them.
1t is not pretended that the cases are
parallel, but there are enough points OF
similarity to make the one serve in pointing
IN argument in relation to the other.
Irish aversion to union with Great Britain
Is Unborn and inbred a. to large proper
ton OF the Irish people. and for centuries
has been their controlling sentiment 1t

other strictly governmental policies, but
rests wholly on differences in religious

the sum Of oil this work in all those cent.
uries would fall far short of the losses in
life and property, the ruin and desolation
wrought by the four years of conflict in
our country over the settlement of the
slavery question. Ours were rivers of
blood; theirs were but rivulets. Their
wasted treasures were but as molehills to
the mountains OF wealth that We ex-
pended. But theirs has been long. bit.

THE NEW POLICE BOARD.

The Bo ard of Police Commissioners or
ganized la st night. as they were appointed
by the Mayor and confirmed by the
House of Delegates. By common consent
any question OF the regularity of the
appointments is left to the courts to mass
upon, the Board being advised that its acts.
as constituted, will be valid and recognized
by any court Of law.
They appointed George C. Monroe as
chief of police, selection which will meet
with general approval. It is 80 recently
that the people by q large ma
jority selected him for the posi-
ton that the act of the Board
may be considered very proper Difference
to their will Mr.. Monroe has not been in
office long enough to have fair trial. but
so far his administration of his department
has been almost unexceptionable. Mr.. Mon
roe has the reputation of being an upright
man without fear in the performances Of
his duty. His own record and the charac.
ter OF the police commission iustifies the
belief that he will not permit any outside

in good faith rslegated that inquiry to
the proper tribunal, and in the meantime
1t cannot Be said that the city's interests
are at all compromised BY the presence on
the Board Of the four reputable gentlemen
who constitute it.
