BISHOP POTTER's CRITICISM.

Bishop POTTER of New York was both
serious and witty when he told the dio-
cesar convention that there ought 10 be
some regulation of the titular desiona-
'ions by which the various cures and
relationships are known. "At present.
SAID the Bishop "we have In this matter
"a very various and not very edifvino
usage, whereby the clergy are designated
respectively as rectors, assistant rectors
rector's assistants. assistant ministers
and sometimes first class and second
class assistants, but vulgarly designated
as am told, thousand, two-tbou sand
dollar assistants and the like. This
verify is bringing the money changers
into the temple after new and not very
seenly fashion"

Mr.. Walter Wellman. who returned n
these shores yesterday after brilliant tbough
irult'ess struggle among Arctic foes and
ROAR seas, takes very hopeful view of fin
ture Arctic exploration.

reached without unnecessary risk TO life and
without the sufferings which have marked
past Arctic expeditions He hopes thai q N
American will be the one to solve the Arctic
problem and predicts that this will be oc.
complished within the next decade.
Beyond the loss of his vessel, the Raonva,d
Jari. Mr.. Wellman says that he has no tale of
woe 10 relate. He seems to have enjoyed his
trip Immensely and talks Of undressing ON the
Ice ana diving into the salt water from an ice-
berg as one would Of holiday experience at
Cape May or Newport.
Mr. Wellman reached the eighty-Nrst mar
aliel of latitude In a remarkably shor, snace
OF time, He speaks enthusiastically of tho
success attending his idea and use OF alumi-
mum boats and sledges and purchase of dogs

FOUND HIM OUT.

The arrest of Captain HowGATE in
New York York reveals singular story
OF successful avoidance of Justice. and
the ruin Of man planned for better
things.
For IA years Government detectives
have hunted for the man, who eluded
them, after having been arrested for
embezzlement from the Government: |:
and he has been in New York in busi-
ness, meeting many people and showing
himself publicly continually. Time
had disguised him, but it is not known
That he otherwise sought to change his
personal appearance,
The search for this man while he was
always at hand is one of the frequent
comedies of detective effort: his own
life has been tragedy Of the results of
crime.
lhe detectives searched the whole
country for him, and took four months
to locate him after they knew he was in
New York in the book business.
When HowGATE fell he was a fine
looking, vigorous. popular man with a
family home, everything to live for.
and make living enjoyable.
After these years of waiting for ms
tice he is an old man-white-haired.
bent, alone. His friends are
strangers to his life; those who knew
ana loved him earlier have ceased to
remember that he lives.
A very sad, though usual, exposition

IHE NEWS is more or less pained To
note the extreme intensity of the mood
OF several of its most highly esteemed
contemporaries in New York. enpen-
uered by the nomination of Mr.. HILL for
Governor by the New York Democrats
The News is prepared to insist u,on
the full degree of political turpitude Mr..
HILLS career deserves being credited
with. THE News distinctly does not
believe in him, nor approve of him as q
candidate for any high Office.
What he assumes at the
moment to represent is that which Tur
NEWS regrets to see believed in by good
American citizens, and would regret
much more keenly to see so woven into
the texture of our politics az the election
OF Mr.. HILL would reveal to her.
The NEWS goes as far as anybodv in
denuniciation of HILL and Hillism in
politlcs-that is, as far as anybody who |
respects the truth can go.
But there is nothing in the present
situation TO justify Mysteries, nothing TO
excuse the perfervid raid upon denunci-
atory adJectives that some highly estim.
able Republican newspapers have
already inaugurated.

POLICE METHODS.

The exposure of the awful rottennes
OF the police Of New York, the creates
ana grandest American city, has set in
motion great quantity of Suggestion
Tor better control of police forces gem
orally.
New York is itself discussing the ad-
Visibility Of military man for chief of
police, and the present chief is demon
strating that he has some due sense of
what ought to be done by openly dis.
obeying the commands of the police
BOARD, and announcing that he will take
his own course in the work of enforcing
the laws.
Some OF the suggestions for the i'm
proyement of police forces have merit
IN them, some are devoid of merit
altogether. All Of them contemplate
more elaboration Of method. and more
machinery.
10 humble laymen, like The News.
whose every relation with the police is
pleasant, and whose every aspiration is
that the jolly fellows who wear the blue
ana the brass may live long and die
happy-to THE News as a mere OBJ
server, let us say, it seems that there is
already far too much elaboration in
police methods.
We Americans have just as keen an
appetite for the pomp and glory of war
Ike forces; the glare and glitter of
municipal encourages as other people
Our love for glitter and glory is starved |
Dy our severe republican ideas of gov
ernment. Our President does not even
wear ribbon decoration; even his col.
lar denotes no rank. And all the way
down to the humblest fence viewer or
hog-reeve OF the smallest towns our
civil servants contribute nothing to our
innate love of magnifcence.
The police of the cities furnish the
one FURNISHED spot in the American
wide and endless flood of gray common
place. SO 1t is natural-almost a neces-
slty of our natures-that street corners
shall be adorned by a stalwart peace
guardian in blue and brass. AS an
esthetic necessity we must contend for
The maintaining of the stalwartness of
The policeman, also for his uniform. his
'ergeants, lieutenants, captains and
ord-high admiral chief.
III we are forced to shut our appre. ,
iative eyes to the physical perfection of !
he policeman, avoid the glamour of his
atty uniform with its shining brass
uttons--if we cannot imbibe glory in q
ure stripes, and must tread with our \
al weight upon the earth, we should ~
compelled to vote that there seems IN \
fully as much fuss and feathers about A
once departments at present as they ~
IN endure. :,
Why would not the efficacy of police 81
rces be increased if large amount of
70 formality and uniform were to be 4,
spensed with, and the guardians of n,
o peace were to go about the cities 70
ey protect dressed like ordinary peonle2
