MIR. REEVES RETURN.

The announcement that Mr.. ID. W..
Reeves has consented to return to this
city and resume the place he filled SO
long and so acceptably at the head OF
the American band will be welcomed by
every true Rhode Islander.
The American band has grown to be
an honored institution of the state,
and its enviable fame, which is by no
means confined to this commonwealth,
has been achieved mainly through
the indefatigable labors Of Mr.
Reeves. IL is no disparagement
to the gentleman who succeeded
him as leader to say that Mr.. Reeves
has been missed, and it is due quite as
much TO Mr.. Church's efforts as to any
thing else that the Americans old
leader has been induced TO relinquish
his position at the head OF one of the
foremost musical organizations in the
country and to resume his place as di-
rector of Rhode Islands favorite band.

PEANUT POLITICS.

Through the absence from the city OF
four members of the board Of aldermen
and the failure of three others to at
tend the meeting of the board OF alder
men last evening. there was no meeting
of the city council in joint convention,
and necessarily no election Of an inspec-
tor of plumbing.
Under other circumstances the failure
TO secure quorum would cause neither
comment nor criticism. The fact, how
ever, that for months certain members
of the board delayed the passage of the
plumbing ordinance, taken in connec-
ton with the rumors afioat yesterday
that no quorum of that body could be
secured, certainly indicates that the
West combine is still playing politics.
1t is silly game aud one not calcu-
lated to elevate those engaged in IT in
the estimation Of tho thinking people OF
the city. But that is only what is ex-
pected from Democratic politicians who
find in obstruction the only means OF
attracting public attention.
Sooner or later this child's play must
come to an end, but in the meantime
the city must suffer. Peanut politicians
are always costly encumbrances for a
city or state.

NO CORONERs WANTED.

A crusade against coroners has been
begun in New York, and there is reason
to believe it will ultimately be success
full. 1t is charged that the men who
fill these offices are venal and corrupt
that for considerations monetary or
political they have frequently shielded
murderers and otherwise thwarted the
ends of justice.
There have been too many exposures
of the rottenness existing under the
rule OF Tammany to permit one to doubt
that these charges are in the main true.
The coroners of New York are creatures
of Tammany. They have been picked
out of the slums because Of their
success in manipulating votes and voters.
They are heelers OF the most disreputa-
BILE type, and are selected not because Of
fitness, but for the sole purpose of Cur
rying out the wishes Of the men who
gave them places with large salaries at
tached.
The purpose of those engaged in the
present agitation is to. abolish the Office
of coroner altogether. This certainly
seems to be the only remedy for existing
evils. 1t is claimed, and justly, too,
that such officers are unnecessary.
They are, as rule, ignorant and pos
sess none Of the qualifications required
for the proper discharge of the duties
devolving on them. A more satisfactory
and simple system of dealing with cases
of actual or suspected death by violence
is offered by those now seeking the aboli-
ton of the Office of coroner.
This system is similar to that now in
operation in Massachusetts, and provides
for the working in conjunction Of medi-
cal examiners and the regular police
authorities. When there is case of
death with attendant circumstances
indicating the possibility of foul play,
the medical examiner makes thorough
investigation. II the conclusion reached
by him Is that the death resulted from
violence, or even IL he suspects such 10
be the case, he lays the matter before
the police authorities whose duty 1t is to
probe it to the bottom.
Such system will be more effective
and more economical thaa that which
provides that an ignorant or corrupt
coroner shall say whether or not mur.
der has been committed. No doubt
Tammany will make bitter fight
against the proposed change, bat II the
people Of New York arouse themselves
they can cast out these fellows who
have brought disgrace upon the vity.
