FIRST BLOOD FOR REioRM.

The result of the police trials has
agreeably disappointed those who have
seen I'm them only source OF embarrass-
ment for the Lexow investigation and a
trick of the Police Commission to white
wash the officers charged before the
Senate Committee with blackmail
Capt. Michael Doherty and Ward Men
John Hook and Bernard Meehan have
been found guilty and dismissed from
the police force. Five sergeants and two
patrolmen have been suspended from
duty.
Capt. Dohertys position in the force
was due to the influence of Mr.. Croker
himself and ex-Register John Reilly.
Hook was made ward detective
through the influence OF ex-County Clerk
Patrick Keenan,. These pulls" may
have been regarded an enough to protect
any officer. They were OF no avail In
these trials.
This Is the beginning OF the end. 1t is
the first practical result OF the police
disclosures and gives the Police Com
missioners and Prosecutor Wellman the
credit OF accomplishing the opening tri-
umph in the cause Of actual. solid re-
form in the force.

BOYS AND BULLET.PRooF COATS.

Bullet-proof coats are in bloom every
whore now Only few months ago We
heard of the first. Now there are a
half-doze of them before the public and
twice ~ many more are in process of
construction. Ii Is strange that where
novelty of any kind leaps into public
notice Immediately an avalanche of
variations of II follows, and the thing
soon comes pretty near to being a nui-
sanCe.
The bullet-proof coat, though Is liable
to become as dangerous an influence as
the Wild West Show was when il first
started out. With the advent of Buffalo
Bill as an entertainer hundreds of boys
began TO play at Indian killing and
Scalped their small comrades with as
much gusto as If they were real red
men. The bullet-stopping coat caught
the small boys fancy quite early too.
A Kansas youth invented one, put II
on and his brother shot him to death
| through II.
We would advise boys to bend their
inventive faculties to devising a slip
per-proof trousers basement, and let
builet-stopping coats alone. They have
more to fear from slippers than bullets
in this age.

FOR THE KAILRoAD,.

The proposition to restrict legislatures
by a constitutional provision from limit
ing the damages to be recovered for loss
OF human life has been defeated at Al
bany. 1t was. of course, vigorously OPP
posed by the railroad corporations. as 1t
would leave the amount OF damages to
which they would be liable In wholesale
hutchcry unlimited 1t Is Inconsistent
that man whose arm or leg is broken
should be enabled to recover any amount
a jury may award him, although he Is
still able to work and support his fam
lily, while for the killing of a man whose
family Is left in beggary only five thou
sand dollars can be assessed.
The excuse for rejecting the proposed
cons titutional restriction Is that the mat
ter Is proper subject OF legislation. But
that Is a paltry subterfuge. There Is not
a member OF the Constitutional Conven-
ton who does not know that the railroad
corporations can obtain for money any
law they want from a New York State
Legislature. and that the limitation can
not be removed except through consti-
tutional provision.
Many of the Conventionists have been
in the Legislature. and know how 1t Is
themselves.

WASTING rINI.

the Presidents action on the tariff ques

All this Is waste OF time. President
Cleveland needs no defense. and II he
ever did need one II has been furnished
by Senator Hill in his humiliation OF

that scathlng rebuke that can sink the
Maryland Senator any lower than he
now Is in public estimation.
Neither does President Cleveland re-
quire any Justification of his action on
the tariff question. His consistent. up
right, honest course is known to the peo-
ole. No envy, disappointment and NAL
ice can change the record; no eulogy can
make it brighter and cleaner than 1t Is
Every moments time ought now to be

itself, and the country suffers more and
more while the pledges OF the Congress

AN OLD FRIEND.

The startling story told by Matthew
i. O'Rourke. OF a fifteen million dollar
issue of forged and fraudulent Aque-
duct bonds in the Tweed days Is not
exactly new 1t has made its appear
ance at intervals for the last fifteen or
twenty years.
In substance the charge Is that, when
bonds were issued. two sets. or double
the amount authorized, were printed.
The proceeds of one set went to the
fund designated; the other set, forged
and fraudulent, went into the pockets
of the Conspirators.
The amount thus forged and stolen Is
put roughly at fifteen millions. They

outstanding as good bonds and II the
proposed rebonding policy is carried out
they will be replaced by genuine bonds,
and the forgeries will he covered up and
concealed forever. This Is the story.
one curious feature about this star
Ting fraud is that. II the bonds are
outstanding, the interest on them must
be paid. 1t Is surprising that every
year for twenty years or more the in
terest account should have overrun six
hundred thousand dollars without at
tracing notice.

story, and it ought to be investigated

not also provide rapid and comfortable transit
facilities instead Of the present railroads and
tram-csrs, the antiquity and inefn cheney OF which
are . monstrous reflection on the people Of New
York. The system Of Australian railroads must
be followed TO get relief This is not a job for
some gigantic Trust, 1t Is . State question to be
carried out by the people and for the benefit Of
representatives to take possession Of the land
lying between certain parallel streets the entire
length Of Manhattan Island. and pull down all
the buildings on same and then build four-trsek
railroads. either elevated or sIoavated, and
bridgsd at cross streets running high speed
through trains on one pair OF tracks and slow
trains on tho other pair The dlsposssssed prop
srty owners would require to BE- compensated.
and the removal OF some thousands OF tenement,
and warehouses would greatly enhance the value
Of adjoining land and the rapid through trains
and consequent demand for land beyond the Hsr-
lem would greatly enhance the value Of that land.
BY quitting . tax on land values We would taks
from the owners of It what they personally did
not produce. but what was produced BY the
people collectively. and this tax would com

How to Get Rid of Pests.

Prof Riley, in a lecture before the
Lowell Institute. discusses most prac-
tically the subject OF how to get rid
of household pests. For certain of the
commoner pests, such as bedbugs, car
pet-beetles and clothes-moths, benzine
applied In q fine spray by means Of an
atomizer was said to be the best rem
edy, as 1t destroys the insect in all
stages. including the egg. In the use
of benzlne great care should be exer-
cised that no fire or artificial light is in
the room at the same time, as the vapor
Of benEine Is highly explosive.
For cockroaches. bristle-bugs, fish
moths and feas, pyrethrum powders
were recommended. For the destruc-
ton Of the mosquito. the Professor
recommended pyrethum powder moist
ened, made into little cones, then al
lowed to burn in a closed room. The
effect is to stupefy or kill the mos
quito.
1t was q mistaken idea that mosquito
bites inoculated the body with malarial
poison. The idea came from the fact
that mosquitoes and malaria fiourished
usually under the same conditions.

Bcsolow's father was great trader.

brother, Dualusaw, to the throne.
The boy came to this country. and,
after course of private tutoring, en-
tered Wibraham Academy. At the be
ton Society notified the Prince that they
had decided not to educate any more

and they advised him to return to
his way through the academy by doing
chores and giving lectures. In 1892 he
entered Williams College. Five months
ago he came to this city, since which
time he has spoken in many churches.
Recently he was notified that his un-
