Hon. 81. II. Cleveland, of Brooklyn, has
been appointed third Bank Commissioner
to examine the trust and investment COM
panies of Connecticut and all foreign COM
panies that do business In this State. No
better appointment could have bsen made.
Mr.. Cleveland is especially fitted for the
work to which he has been called. he is
thorough and accurate, and has had COM
prehensivs experience and training In
financial matters. He will not be afraid to
do his duty, and he will take great pains
to find out what his duty Is. He is also
entirely fair minded, and neither the inter-
: ests of companies nor investors will suffer
from any prejudice of his. He is a most
agreeable and courteous gentleman, is
known and respected all over the State,
and his many friends will be glad to see
him engaged in public work for which he
is 30 exceptionally well qualified.
The Austrian Authorities are still greatly
concerned at the extent of emigration
from the country, and are constantly en-
deavoring to discourage it by publishing
narrowing accounts of the miseries en-
dured by Austrian emigrsnts to foreign
countries. Such caution, particularly
directed against emigration to Brazil, has
just been posted up by the police authori-
ties in all the railroad stations and public
places, being especially addressed to men
who have not yet fulfilled their military
duty. At the eame time an official report
has been published to the effect that
Austrian emigrants in the districts of
Jaragua and Garibaldi, in Brazil, have
appealed to their Consul at Rio de
Janeiro to request the Brazilian gov
erpment to give them work or as
sistsncs. AS result of this interven-
ton, up to the first harvest they were
provided with fifteen days work per month
at nominal daily wages of two forms and
eightyfour kreuzsrs, or about 81 1s. This,
however, was not paid In ready money, but
in paper, which shopkeepers would only
accept at such a heavy discount that the
unfortunate laborers were barely able to
secure the necassariss of life. The pres
ent Brazilian government, moreover, have
not kept the promise made by their prede-
cessors to assign land to settlers and sd-
vance money for its cultivation. Conse-
quently the immigrants have been reduced
to destitution through the increase in the
price of provisions, the bad harvest, the
cessation of work on the roads and the
stoppsge of cultivation.

MODERATE QUARANTINE.

Those who suffered from the quarantine
regulations in New York harbor last year,
and others who do not believe In the neces-
city of such regulations, will be interested
in the ideas which prevailed at the SAM
tsry conference at Dresden concerning pre-
ventive measures against cholera. The
representatives of Germany, France, Aus
tria-Hupgary, Russia, Italy, Belgium and
ths Netherlands indoised those ideaz, aud
1t is expected that England will also favor
them. They appear to be moderate and
reasonable. In order to obviate in future
the confusion which has hitherto prevailed
with regard 10 the restriction of imports
from infected countries, 1t has been agreed
that old clothes, bedding, soiled linen,
and rags the last named in SO far as
they have not bsen subjected to any manu-
featuring process) shall alone becoms i'm
mediately liable to exclusion, ecd that the
Importation of other articles shall only be
prohibited under special regulations and
in cases OF obvious expediency. The con-
vention, 1t lie stated, recognizes the futility
of land guarantees, and circumscribes
within fixed limits the power to enforce
quarantine upon arrivals by sea. For this
purpose chips arriving from cholera ports
are to be treated as infected only In the
event Ct CAGES having actuslly occurred on
board during the last seven days of the voy,
| age, and aa suspect where cases have oc
| Cured prior to the last seven days. Other
ships, although arriving from infected ports
SO long as they are free from suspicious
cases, are to be allowed, as q rule, fres
pratique, subject to the right of the loca
authorities to impose upon arrival reason
able measures of disinfeotion and tern
of medical observation. which is in no cas'
to exceed five days from the date of sail
ing. The same term of Ave days, bn
reckoning from the date of landing, is t.
be applied to the isolation and observation
of passengers and crews belonging to tn
ships actually infected, OF classified as sus
pect.
If anybody knows nytbipg about wha
ought to be done to keep cholera at dis
tance the members of the Dresden con
ference are likely to know. Their plal
| would perhaps not meet the approval O.
some of the boards of health in this couu
try, but 1t is worth their attention.

CARLYLE HARKIS, DEATH.

CARLYLE HARRIS, DEATH.
Carlyle Harris, convicted of the murder Of
his wife, made good end yesterday, con-
sidering the circumstances. He did not
break down. he made no scene, and his
last words were a protestation Of inno-
cence. His case is a most remarkable one
and will be long remembered, talked and
written about. He had a very thorough
trial in the courts, and An extra trial by
the commissioner appointed by Governor
Flower. The jury, the judges, the COM
missioner and the governor were all of one
mind concerning his guilt. And yet,
in the last minute of his life,
seated in the death chair, and with "the
other world" almost in sight, he declared
that he was innocent of the crime for
which he was killed. If he was innocent,
and if all who had taken part in his trial
terrible thing. If he was guilty he carried
out his pretense of innocence in way
very few people would be capable of. 1t
Is easy enough to assume that he was
guilty, that all the good men and true who
said 80 were accurate and just in
their judgment, and that he was
rightly punished. But there is room for
honest doubt, and many were hoping that
he would get the benefit Of that doubt, and
not be killed. His conduct and his words
in his last minute will increase the doubt
in the minds of those who were doubtful
before, and may shake some who were not
doubtful. On the other hand, many who
have believed in his guilt will say that he
felt compelled to play out his game to the
end, and that his "nerve" was sufficient to
enable him to do it.
Human justice has done its best in this
terrible case. If in doing it's best it has
done it's worst there is no remedy now.

available space on the walls of his rooms was
hung with etchingS and engraYlngs, gathered
