FRED DOUGLASS AND THE H1YTIAN
MISSION


Those who knew Fred Douglass as TIE
TRIBUNE knew him throughout his great life
of trial and triumph were not disposed to look
upon the lIaytan mission as adding to his dig
mites, AMI will not now regard it's loss as de-
trlcting from them. No success that he might
have won there was needed as a crown TO his
unique career, and no failure. if failure there
has been, will in any way affect the admira-
ton TO which his past entities him. This is
true if we cOncede everything that has been
reported from Hayti as to his sentimental par
TALLY for the Haytian Government and his
consequent inability to appreciate his duty
toward the interests in his charge. We do not
credit this accusation, but if we did we should
only be. called upon to believe that the cruelties
and wrongs suffered on behalf of his race have
exerted not unnatural influence on his fine
imagination. We should need to believe only
that he has imputed to the French negroes of
llayti the same degree OF morality and trust
wOrthineSs which have been developed so large
ly by his own pure influence and edifying ex-
ample in the negro race Of Anglo Saxon Ameri-

There seems to be an epidemic of railway
accidents and the old theory that the safest
time to travel is just after disaster is not at
all confirmed by recent experience. 1t was the
New-York CentrarS turn just TO escape a bad
ssAash-up yesterday when an express train near
PoughkeepSie ran into an open switch. The
superintendent explains that somebody" must
have opened the switch unconsciOuSly'! That
" somebody" ought to be found and his services
dispensed with forthwith. No man who could
open switch unconSciOusy" has any right
to fill place on any railroad.

Vermont made an appropriation Of only $4,000
for the Worlds Fair, at its last session. Now a
special session has been called, in part to consider
the question Of setting aside larger sum for
that purpose The New-York Legislature made
no appropriation whatever for the Fair, but not
whisper is heard about special session in order
to remedy the defect The motto of the State is
Excelsior" but it is evidently willing to "go
down foot" on this question. All because the
Democrats could not have things their own way
in Albany last winter.

The English tributes to Mr. Lowell are as
sincere as they are deserved. While the note
of Americansm is predominant in Lowelrs most
characteristic work, it is nevertheless true that
his contribution TO letters is contribution to
English literature in the broad and true sense.
Shakespeare is ours, and not England's alone
and 80 England has share in whatever luStre
attaches to the names and works of writers be-
longing to the American branch of the great
family that uses the English tongue. In Mr..
Lowell, however, our English friends feel a
peculiar interest growing out of his residence
among them. His death impresses them as it
does so many Americans with sense of per-
sOnal loss.

Truly the raisers Of peaches the most diff

complaint is that there are too many peaches.
that it does not pay to market them, and that in
consequence they are left to rot on the trees.
1t has not yet struck the averagescitizen here
abouts that peaches are a drug in the market ;
and isn't it possible that growers have jumped
at conclusion too hastily?. Perhaps the explain
alton is TO DO found in the statement: 1T is
expected that late fruit will command profitable
prices" The Inference is that the appetite Of the

II is good news that POStmaSter-Ge General
Wanamaker is giving serious attention to the
probability of using pneumatic tubes to facli-
tate the transportation of mails in large cities.
In this respect the United States is behind Eng
land, in several Of whose cities the pneumatic
system is in successful use. Some improve
ments on existing devices are claimed by one
of our inventors, and there is even talk of a
pneumatic tube between Chicago and New
York. But, of course, this method of trans
portat;on will be tried on a small scale first.
There is little doubt that it will save both time
and money in carrying the mails between postal
stations and the central Offices
There is no present reason for alarm in re-
spect to the condition OF the Croton water AS
disclosed by the latest analysis. The faint trace
of pollution is enough, though, TO suggest the
need of more stringent measures to maintain
the purity Of the citys water supply. Exam
nations of the CrOtOn watershed have shown
numerous sources of contamination. While
small in themselves, collectively they constitute
D potential evil of large dimensions. With a
population OF 25. 900 in the Croton region, it Is

Discretion has been allowed by the Treasury
Department to the Acting Commissioner Of lmmi-
grafton at this port in regard to the landing OF
immigrants on Sunday. 1t is no doubt hard
ship to keep the employees Of this burcad on duty
every Sunday in the year. AT the same time 1t
would be hardship to compel large number
of immigrants to remain on soipboard twenty
four hours, or even twelve hours, longer than Is
necessary Acting Secretary Nettleton is clearly
right in insisting that no change be made in the
existing arrangements unless it can be done with
out serious inconvenience to arriving immigrants"
The immigration officials are sure that this can
be done, and no doubt the steamship companies
will be glad to cooperate as far as possible In
whatever arrangements may be made in order to
do away with Sunday work at The Barge Office.
