TRIM ROBDERS.

There is Il strong probability that the question
Of Il Federal law in reference to train robbng
will be pressed upon the attention Of Congress
ut the coming session The number Of train
robberles within the last few months has been
unprecedented, and experts in such matters de-
clare that on account of the hard times and the
number of men out Of employment in consc
allencc these crimes during the coming win
ter are likely to be frequent. At the extra ses-
sion of Congress bill on the subject was intro
duced by Representative Caldwell, Of Ohio, but
on account of other matters Of Importance no
action was taken respecting it, That some
thing should be done to repress this form or
crime is generally conceded. Train robbing was
practically unknown before the War, and until
recently it was confined to the remote West.
OF LATE however, the robbers have become
bodcr; several trains on the Illinois Central
Railroad have been attacked, and in September
Il Lake Shore train was held up Mr.. William
A. Pinkcrton says in discussing this subject:
Unless some measures are taken to prevent
the increase Of train robberies l would not be
surprised to see an express train held up within
ten miles Of New-York or Philadelphia ut a not
very remote date"
In his opinion a National law is needed, both
because local authorities are sometimes afraid
to interfere with the robbers and because their
pursuit of them is considered to stop ut State
or county lines. The railway and express COM
panies are much concerned, and, it Is under
stood, will urge upon Congress the desirability
Of passing the Caldwell measure or one even
more sweeping This bill provides penalty OF
twenty years Imprisonment for train robbery.
which is not whit too severe In view of the
fact that the robbers hesitate at nothing, and
Use dynamite and other powerful explosives In
their work. without regard to the effect in kill
ing or woundng express messengers and others,
there are some who sympathize with the spirit
which has led to the passage in Arizona OF
law making train robbing Il capital offence. 1t
certainly calls for Il severe penalty, and since
uniform action by the States seems out Of the
question there is strong reason for favoring
legislation by Congress on the subject OF the
power Of Congress to act in such matter there
appears to be no doubt. In view Of recent legis-
laton affecting interstate commerce and the
law in reference to uniform car-coupers.

VOV.PlPTTS iNSHIP IN BROOKLYN.

"Thc Ncw-York World /" owes us an apology,
or nj least a correction. 1t charges Us with
urging Mayor-clcct Schiorcn, though elected
upon non-parisan grounds by il combination or
Democratic and Republican votes. to give all
the Offices. as SO much spoil. To the Republican
boys'" What The Tribune has advised Mr..
Scliercn TO do is to turn down the politician,
right and left. 20 place the departments under
the charge Of business men. and To instruct
them to conduct the affairs of the city without
reference TO politics. That is very different
thing from handing over the offices to :" the
boys l." as so much spoil.
1t is true that we have urged Mr.. Schicrcn
to look for his heads Of departments exclusively
among business men of his own party. He
does not need To go outside his party TO find
men who are not politicians a:d who will con-
duct the business of the city without regard for
the interests Of party or faction. If he adopts
this course he will commit the Republican
party in Brooklyn to the principle of non-par-
tisan conduct of the municipal departments,
their chiefs being Of his own political faith
but the administration being Il strictly business
one If he forms Il coalition administration. the
responsibility for il will not rest any where. In
effect it will be double or triple party admins
tration without unity or harmony. AMI its
action will be blocked and encountered by po-
liiical and fractional intrigue.
The fact that Mr. Schicrcn's large majority
was due TO combination Of Democratic ana
Republican votes does not impose upon him an
obligation TO form coalition or hybrid admin
israton. Mr.. Schiercn clearly is under obi
cations 10 colduct an administration on plain
straightforward business lines and TO keep the
departments out Of politics. His pledges VIII
be- fulfilled if he turns his back upon politicians
of all shades. Republican. Democratic and indie
pendent. and appoints as heads Of departments
business men Of his own party who will not
look after the interests of the boys nor re-
gard the departments as 80 much spoil
