The two gangs Of negroes from the South
west who have been stranded in this city
within the past few days have displayed traits
that are pleasing. and that have stirred up
popular sympathy for them. Though they
found. when they got here that they could not
get to Liberia. in Africa. by o ferryboat or .
horse car for ten cents; though they and their
pickaninnies were hungry. homeless. and help
less in the strange city: though they did not
know what to do or where to look for any
thing. 1t 10 interesting to learn that they did
not whine or howl. or threaten to raise a
rumpus. or to play havoc with most
things, or even to let loose the dogs
OF war. They stood out near the dock In the
cold patiently: they held dialogue about the
unknown; they were oyerjoyed when o police
man gave them advice: they blessed the good
Lord when they got shin bone soup for moth
Ing; they grew merry and sang the old melo-
dies Of the plantation when they were offered

One Great Institution ON Another.

Tint magnificent concentration OF eco
nomical and philosophical talent. the Wage
Workers Political Alliance OF the District
Of Columbia. has brought in all the bills
| necessary for settling or unsettling the
| financial condition OF the country. and has
| turned for the moment to questions OF So
cial reform. II contributes an instructive
preamble and several amendments to the
bill for the regulation of marriage and
divorce in the District. I'VE want religious
and legal scabs abolished by due process Of
law. whether they like 1t or not" says the
preamble: and the amendments are In the
same direct and summary style. Ono Of
them directs that persons wishing to marry
shall draw up and acknowledge before wit
nesses articles Of marriage. which shall be
recorded in the office Of the Recorder OF
Deeds for the paltry sum Of fifty cents.
Divorce for the same price. A husband and
wife, between whom true consent Of minds
exists as to getting n divorce. may get one
for fifty cents head. Thus religious and
legal scabs are left without employment. so
far as marriage aud divorce are concerned.
and the binding and the loosing Of mar
riage are as easy rs heart could desire.
A powerful intellectual machine like the
Wage Workers Political Alliance Of tho
District OF Columbia cannot run forever
without showing signs OF wear and tear.
II we may indulge in reverent criticism OF
the labors Of tho master minds Of the ALL
ance. We would point out that the Alliance
has proven false to all its hottest traditions
in not providing that marriage licenses
and DEGREES and records Of divorce shall be
printed upon Handmade paper" &C..
&c. the same old paper which is recon-
mended in all properly drawn Alliance bills.
and upon which the Alliance scheme for
currency reform and the abolition of debt
are largely founded.
The appearance Of the WV. P. A. as a
student. or rather a master and settler OF
the problems Of marriage and divorce. re-
vivifies interest in that extraordinary body.
Is the Alliance BLAIR or is it PETER. or is
it merely the alias Of manufacturer OF
paper of a certain kind? Is it an individual
or firm or syndicate or an asylum? Tho
world waits with open mouth and mind for
the solution Of the mystery.

the Grand Jury IL stated with accuracy

no wise to blame II the GraJd Jury. in pass.
ing upon the evidence which comes before
them. refuse to ir,llct even when he thinks
they ought to i'd indictments. and even
when many other good citizens share the
same opinion. Within their own province
the Grand Jury are just as supreme as the
Judge Is In his. They, and they alone. can
effectively determine whether an indlct-
mont shall be found or not. II they finally
| decide against 1t, the Judge Is bound to sub
NIT. and 1t is a childish act to decline to re-
ceive indictments from them in some cases
because they will not indlct In oil. cases
where the Judge would have them do so.
Grand Jurors In this State. and we sup
pose also in New Jersey. are chosen in n
manner which makes them rs q rule fairly
representative OF the Intelligent body OF
the community. SO far as the administra-
ton Of criminal Justice is concerned. 1t
never can be or will be any better than grand
jurors as on average demand or approve. OF
course. 1t may very we'll happen that par
ticular Grand Jury will be so constituted as
to refuse to find indictments which would
be found by almost any other Grand Jury:
but II case is presented to a number Of
Grand Juries successfully. and they refuse
to indict. their net may be taken as truly
expressive OF the wishes of II majority in
that county. And II the matter happens to
be one In which good morals would seem to
require criminal prosecution which the
Grand Jury thus refuse to permit. tho In
evitabe conclusion is that majority OF
such community prefer not to have tho
laws properly enforced.
In the Hoboken theatre case. when the
Grand Jury OF Hudson county persisted in
refusing to indict men against whom the
Public Prosecutor had presented what he
deemed cogent evidence. the proper course
was to proceed with other business in the
ordinary way and lay the same cases be-
fore the next Grand Jury. II that body
again refused to indict. the experiment
might be tried third time: and II on ro-
pcatcd trials the refusal was persisted in.
this might DO regarded rs proof that the
majority Of tho people OF Hudson county
would not tolerate the enforcement OF the
law in these particular cases. Such con-
cluson would be unwelcome to the moral
ist but the people themselves and not tho
Judges are to blame for tho non-enforce-
ment OF those laws to which the community
manifcsts its opposition through the re-
pcated refusal Of Grand Jurics to set the
Of justice in motion.

mark is pretty true. Furthermore. It 10
likewise true that tho British West India

Honor to the Brave!

We must give praise to the Board oil
Health for the invaluable service it has
rendered to the community in its dealing
with tho various infectious or contagious
diseases that have recently been brought
here by immigrants from foreign countries.
The doctors OF the Board are daily CIV
ing superb illustrations OF that skill and
that courage which are the highest char
deserve to be honored. and they are hon
ored. by the people Of New York.
They have shown themselves anxious to
perform every duty. and ready to face any
danger that may be incident to the public
service in which they are engaged.
Without finching for moment. they
traverse the quarters and enter the tene-
ments in which the typhus fever. the small
pox. and other contagious diseases exist;
they take means to relieve the sufferers
and to prevent the spread OF contagion !:
they inspect. they medicate. they vaccinate
they fumigate: they see to the isolation Of
those who ought to be isolated; they do
everything else that can be done to secure
the safety OF the city in time OF danger.
Doctors are brave mon. A few days ago.
when there was report that more Of them
might be needed by the Board Of Health. it
was found that plenty Of them were ready
to volunteer for duty at once.
We praise DR.. CYRUS EPSON. the Presi-
dent Of the Board Of Health. and his pro-
fessional assistants. We praise the doctors
OF the Bureau Of Contagious Diseases. who
have done hard and risky work this month.
We praise the doctors In tho typhus fever
and smallpox hospitals. We praise the
inspectors OF the sanitary squad.
In tho name OF the whole community. by
which their services and sacrifices are up
preciated. We say to them. WELL DONE!

unacQuainted with the origin and grounds Of
the present financial relations between the
French Government and tho Catholic clergy Of
France as settled by the concordat established
BY agreement between Napoleon l. and Plus
VII. which is In force in our day.
Before the first French Revolution the Cath
Ollie Church in France and certain religious
orders owned great deal of productive real
estate held under perfect title confirmed by
centuries Of undisputed possession. The ma
tion was not taxed for the expense OF public
worship. The Church had means enough to
relieve 1t from all burdens in that regard. be-
sides doing a great deal for educational and
charitable purposes. After the revolution OF
1850 had taken place. the clergy were either
driven into exile or put to death. and all Church
property. as we'll as that belonging to tho re-
ligious orders. was tyrannically confiscated
and sold by the revolutionary Government. 1t

A Refractory Grand Jury.

The recent experiences Of the Now Jersey
Judges with the Grand Jury OF Hudson
county In that State illustrate the impossi-
biiity OF making the administration OF JUS
dce better than the people themselves want
TO have it.
A month ago tho cases OF a number OF
Hoboken theatre proprietors, who were
charged with violating the statute prohib-
lting performances on Sunday, were laid
before the Hudson county Grand jury.
The late Judge KNAPP fell dead In court Just
after addressing this same Grand Jury In
reference to these matters. and in sub
stance advising them to find indictments.
On Tuesday OF the present week Judge
IIPPNooTT ascertained that no indict-
ments had yet been found. and he severely
rebuked the Grand Jury for their disregard
Of tho dying charge OF Judge KNAPP. He
even went so far as to declare that unless
they saw ut to obey Judge KNAPp's last in
structions In relation to the case OF a par
dculsr theatre proprietor. the Court would
not again receive any presentments from
the present Grand Jury.
While this Indignation on the part OF
Judge LIPPNooTT may be very natural, 1t
seems to us that Judge has no right to
say that he will receive no indictments
from Grand Jury. simply because they do
not find particular indictment which he
thinks ought to be presented. The Grand
Jury might as justly take the position that
they would not 60 before the Judge because
no refused to give Q particular instruction
which they thought proper as to some mat
ter OF law. Judge LIPPNcoTT is not re-
sponslble for the manner In which the
Grand Jury do their work. except SO far as
that work Is dependent upon clear and cor
rect instruction from the Court in regard

come before them. II the law which
