Thcrn was nothing at all to be said in COM
mcnda.ian. or paabon even of Mayor Boody's
APPOINTMENTS Of heads Of departments. BY ro-
amounting the men whom ho found in Office ho
proclaimed to Brooklyn and TO the world, in M
mistaliabc terms, his sub>eyvency to the Nc
Iauchn Ring lie could not have made "a
worse start. or have more seriously handicapped
himself at the beginning OF his term. IT gives
us the greater pleasure therefore, in contrast
with this indcfensible action, TO say n hearty
good word for Mr.. Boodys course in other mat
tcrS. In the first place he displayed the right
spirit in resolving TO devote all his time TO tho
duties Of his high office, and deserves warm
praise for scycring his business relations with
various Boards and corporations OF which he WIS
a member An earnest Of the same disposition
was given when he resigned from Congress i'm
mcdiatey upon accepting the nomination for
Mayor; conduct all the more admirable when
compared with the small minded course taken by
Mayor Chaplin in holding fast to the Mayoralty
after taking his seat in Congress.
Mayer Body is not only going to give his
entire attention to his official duties, but he in
tends that the other city officials shall do the
same. lie seems TO have taken for his motto
the ringing phrase uttered by Mr.. Fassett at tho
beginning of the fall campaign, "One thing at
a time" 1t is understood that one condition of
his reappointment Of City Works Commissioner
Adams was that the latter should give up the
chairmanship of the party committee which he
held all through the Chaplin administration.
so, too, he has caused Health Commissioner
Griffin to resign from the Board Of Education
and has requested Tax Collector Swan 10 give up
the office of Bridge Trustee. This is as it should
be. These officials receive handsome salaries
and should give all their time TO the city. Fur
thcrmore, Mr.. Boody has promised to attend the
meetings of the Supervisors and OF the Bridge
Trustees, Of both of which bodies he is an en-
offiGo member Mr. Chaplin habtually neglect
ed his duty in these matters. 1t s 0tiaacton

TIE MOROCCO SCARE.

1t is easy to understand the sensation created
in France and indeed, throughout Europe, by
the rumors that Great Britain had landed al
aimed force at Tangiers for the avOwed purpose
Of affordng adequate protection TO the English
residents of the place, whose lives and property
are asserted to be endangered by the present
revolutionary rising against the Sultan. Past
experiences with regard TO Egypt, Zanzibar and
numerous other countries has enlightened Eu-
rope as to the ordinary issue of these temporary
measures Of the English authorities in behalf
of their fellow -countIymcn, and it is feared at
Paijs, Madrid, Rome and st. Petersburg that
since possession is supposed to constitute nine
tenths of the law Great Britain, if once per-
mtted TO land an armed force at TangicrS would
retain permanently her hold upon her former
colony.
The jealousy displayed by the various Powels
of the Old World on the subject Of Tangiers is
due to the fact that il commands the entrance
to the Mediterranean in far greater degree
than Gibraltar does. Fer, whereas the Straits
are nineteen miles in width opposite tho British
stronghold, Tangeis lies at the point where
Spain and Africa approach the nearest to one
another the distance from shore to shore being
about nine miles. Ships can pass in and out
of the Mediterranean without coming within
range of the British guns al Gibraltar but
Tangiers, if held and fortified by European
Power, would entirely neutralize the value OF
the Rock, and control in the fullest degree the
entrance to the Mediterranean.
1t is to this rivalry among the various Gov
ernmens of Europe with regard to the ultimate
possession of Tangiels, and thereby of the door
key to the Mediterranean, that must be at
trbuted the barbarous condition of Morocco The
Sultan is indebted for the absence of foreign
interference in the interests of civilization en-
tirely to the jealousies of France, Spain, Itary
and Great Britain. Were il not for this, public
slave markets would never be permitted to re-
main in operation at Tangiers within both the
sight and range of civilized Europe. While a
diversity of opinion may prevail as to the issue
of the important international question concern.

no doubt that the interests Of civilization and

Richard Vaux. OF Philadelphia, has Just celebrated
an unusual mi-centennal. For fifty years lie has
been one OF the inspectors Of the Eastern Penitentiary
an Office without pay, and In all this time he has sell
dom missed his regular scmiwceky visit for the per
formance OF his duties. As might be supposed he felt
profound interest in the subject Of prison discipline
and the welfare OF convics. IL was his ambition to
mako the Eastern Pententiary the best ns tuition Of
its kind the world and he devoted himself earnestly
to that object IL has been his desire, likewise that
sll other Civilized communities should share the ben
eht OF his observations, his experiences and studies
TO that end he has written and published a large
number OF books and papers.
