There are reasons of certain kind why Gen
cral 10 Shelby should be- United States Mar
shall for the Western District of Missouri many
Of thcm-and there are reasons why he should
not-pcrhaps more He has, or had. great
many qualities that recommend him for Il posi-
ton of that kind. He *, or was, Il strenuous
and rough handed person When he has TO
do a thing he does it if he can, and among the
considerations that deter him mercy. temper
ancc and pity do not figure in the very least.
Possibly those are points Of value in marshal
POSSIBLY not. On the other hand, however
it seems To be more than usually grotesquc
caprice of fate by which Il man like 10 Shelby
should have been chosen by Il man like Grover
Cleveland 10 represent the Union In Il district
where he once outraged the widest license Of
war in his efforts to destroy it.
10 Shelby is one of those astounding and
tremendous characters that are developed by
civil war II he had lived Il century ago and
had been involved in the struggle Of the Ven
dee he would have paralyzcd his most ambl-
tols contemporaries. The Duke Of Alva, fur
thcr back would have deferred to him. and in
the twelfth century Henry III would have re-
called his Chancellor Beckett. and engaged Shell
by for the rapnc and massacre In the war Of
Toulouse Even Alarc would have recognized
his superiority as !; monster. ana not Nandal
or Il Visigoth in history would have withheld
the tribute Of his admiration. 1t Is not often
that the world. and especially the civilized
world. Is outraged by the apparition of such Il
man rs Shelby. War and the cruclties and
horrors that go hand in hand with war are
comprchcndcd We understand that carnage
is logical accessory Of battle, and that blood
and tears and misery form the bitter wake
Of conflict. Frederick. Napoleon and Grant
were warriors. and they pressed the dreadful
logic OF their trade TO its ultimate conclusions
Within the lines of warfare. ms they under

terrible. But Shelby was to one OF these as

lieutenant Governor Sheehan has the impu-
dencc to pretend that his only aim in public life
is to leave an unsullied reputation TO those who
will come after him. Such stuff as this from the
lips Of n constituencies politician with such
record as Sheehan's would sound as we'll
ing from the mouth Of Dry Dollar Sullivan
Paddy Diver. The decent people Of New-York
have n profound contempt for Shsehan. and
have no patience with such silly maunderings

his efforts and performances to degrade and
debauch politics. Such hypocritical cant as he
has given out in the Senate Chamber is sick

The persecution to which the principal witness

allowed to live in peace. but is subjecter to per-
sistent annoyances of one sort and another In
the case of the witness Reilly, he has been COM
PEELED to move because Buckley and his assocl-
ates were continually reviling and denouncng
him. Surely it is time for change in New-York

Following the good example Of the Chamber

Following the good example Of the Chamber
of Commerce. the Board Of Trade and Trans
portation has appointed a committee 10 con-
slider the question of rapid transit. There is
good reason to believe that the so-called Wilson
plan is growing in popular favor. and a strong
feeling prevails that both of these commercial
bodies will approve it, Meanwhile the Rapid
Transit Commissioners are wasting time and
money in doing nothing. They have been at it
over three years and have spent more than
100000. and what is there to show for it? 1t
is not surprising that the public patience is
strained nearly TO the breaking point.
