It Is somewhat singular that man,

expectedly many interesting incidents
Of city life every day but cannot see
incidents that he expects to see, says an
exchange. II he travels up and down
and across town frequently he may ex-
pect to see fires, but the chances are
that he will travel for weeks without
seeing a sign Of flames, although the
record in the newspapers indicates
that eight or ten fires a day are not
unusual. Likewise in regard to acct
dents in the streets. II cable car

a great throng gathered at the scene.
but 1t is evident that the number Of
persons that could be summoned as
witnesses Is very small Hardly an
hour passes without something happen
ing in Broadway and att acting a crowd
in few minutes. but hundreds on the
outskirts are obliged to ask: whats
the natter" Minor incidents are
sized up sooner and sometimes they are
as interesting as the incidents one cx-
poets to see. That was exemplifed at
Broadway and Fulton street at noon
recently. One Of the peddlers there
had box of sponges on the curbstone.
Being obliged to be on guard against
the approach Of policeman, he did not
observe stub-tailed dog until after 1t
had seized a sponge with its teeth and
started to run across the street. His
features expressed amazement and an
ger in quick succession as he exclaim-
ed, "You little cuss!" and ran after tho
dog. The dog became bewildered
slightly while trying to escape, and he
glanced backward to see II he had been
pursued. The peddler hesitated over
leaving his box too far out Of sight
and, on the crossing. c0ntented himself
with whistling and swapping his ing
ers at the dog In manner suggestive
of his desires to recover the sponge.
But the dog would not be Influenced by
q strange voice. Fifty persons watched
the performance and. although few
sympathetic individuals tried to catch
the dog, the majority laughed. Seeing
an opening under a wagon, the dog
jumped through and scampered up the
street. It Is not unreasonable to be-
lieve that those who saw the incident
imagined that the dog had been trained
to steal, although its master did not re-
veal himself in the immediate vicinity.

ERoW CAMPS NOT WANTED.

The Interstate National Guard Association be-
fore adjourning at Columbus. Ohio expressed
itself In favor OF joint camp Of instruction at
the ST Louis Exposition. The plan suggested
was TO send as representatives of the National
Guard to the proposed camp picked troops from
the States in proportion TO the strength OF the
armed forces Of the various States. and that
these share with the regulars designated by the
Secretary of War the joint camp.
The new militia bill contemplates encamp-
ments Of this kind. and there can be no doubt
that such camps would be productive of good
feeling between the two branches Of the service,
and that the citizen soldiers would derive great
benefit from association on active duty with the
regulars. But worlds fair is not the place for
such an outdoor military school. If the object
were to make an exhibition of the troops, to
show the visitor how quickly camp can be
made and how little time II takes the soldier to
break up housekeeping; If the impressive func-
tions of dress parade, taps or guard mount were
to be demonstrated to the tourist possibly
with view TO showing that one branch of the
service is more proficient than the other; IT,
in short, joint camp were to be a spectacular
feature, the plan might be worthy of considera-
ton camp of instruction, the delegates
should know, is not q show place Some officers
of the National Guard of this State had DIFF
ferent views on the subject a few years ago,
and by turning the reservation at Peekskill
into picnic ground gave the men whom they
commanded false impression of the objects of
a tour of camp duty, and caused citizens to
question the propriety Of making appropria-
tions for that purpose.
Camp duty means work, and this would not
be lessened or made lighter If the guardsman
shared 1t with the regular. 1t is work, too for
which the State pays and it would be unfair
to the authorities well to the soldier to
have this work performed near place given
over TO pleasure and sightseeing, where the
men would be tempted TO shirk their duties, and
the officers TO yield TO the inclination TO make
q show"
The action Of the delegates in asking Con-
gress to pass a bill prohibiting people who are
not in the military or naval service of the
United States from wearing army or navy uni
forms is to be commended. but we can see only
harm In the suggested joint camp at st. LOUIS.

NEW-YORK SIGNS AS MODELS.

startling thing has happened. The reproach
of Nevy-York has been changed for pride and
glory In the respect in which this city was
the laughing stock of Pigwidgecn Centre ana
Wayback Four Corners, 1t has suddenly become
the admiration of great cities, and their eA-
ample and model. Truly, it is a great time for
New-York.
For we observe that the city OF Baltimore Is
planning to equip its street corners with new
signs, and has sent to New-York for samples
and models thereof Consider that fact, ye who
doubt that progress is being made and tne
world is growing better! Why, a year ago
sending to New-York for street signs would
have been like sending for snakes to Iceland
We had none save here and there few quaint
reIics of the vintage of 90 The one great,
salient. paramount, dominant characteristic OF
New-York. by which it known the world
around, was It's vast pervasive and ALIEN
bracing signlessness. Yet to-day Baltimore ana
other cities. too are looking TO New-York for
model signs and are adopting our style as the
best obtainable!
However. "lest we forget" let US say lone OF
orr STYLES" instead of "Our style, and let us
take the correction TO heart For II is sau
fact that we have here multiplicity OF styles
Of signs, some good and some bad. Concern
ing some Of them, Of weird and Wondrous
shapes. and pseudo-Chinese lettering anu hA-
coIored glass we have already expressed our
oniniou in no uncertain terms. They are un'
worthy of the city they disfgure, and should
he done away with. But the style they are
considering in Baltimore and which is TO De
seen on parts of Fifth and Madison aves. ana
other uptown thoroughfares, is thing OF come
illness and usefulness. It may not be entireiy
perfect: but all things considered, IL is by far
the hest we have, or have had, and 1t is de-
voutly to be wished that we might have it III
uniform and universal use throughout the city.
The Tribune can justly, we believe. take
n1ide in and claim some credit for what mas
thus been accomplished, since 1t was IN these
columns that the campaign for street signs was
begun and has been necessarily and suenu-
ousIy waged. We shall not, however. CONSIDER
+be victory wholly won until the uniformity for
which we have contended is secured and untll
certain evils connected with the present system
of sign erection and illumination are abolished.
II is costing New-York far too much to lght
some Of the signs, and If reform is not effected
in that particular people will want to kno"
the reason why But a good start has been
made toward equipping the city with sans-
factory system of signs, and we have full con-
hdence that the good work will be carried TO
completion It is noteworthy thing to nave
reached already point at which we are looked
to as a good example for others.

CHURCH AND STATE IN FRANCE.

The campaign of the French Government
against the ecclesiastical communities is not
yet ended, by any MEANS the daily dis
patches remind u.s. It's sequel is only just be-
ginning to loom into view, in colossal proper
tons. It is not too much to say that the re-
public seems to be upon the verge Of one of
the greatest struggles in its history, which Will
involve nothing less than the abrogation OF the
Concordat and the entire separation Of church
and state. Perhaps we should say churches
and state, for. is well known the trench

spectful hearing and who have no little 1nnu-
ence in the Chamber and in the nation. More
over, all these signers of the bill are govern
ment supporters a fact which indicates the
probability that the government will not or
hand oppose the measure. 1t is by no means
impossible that it will actually approve it and
urge it to enactment
For in the first place, abolition of the Con-
cordat and separation of church and state have
long formed a part of the authorized Repub-
Iican programme, to be executed whenever
auspicious occasion is offered The question is
whether the. present occasion is fitting. There
are not lacking indications that it may be so
considered. If church and state are not at war
over the Congregations they are at least in a
state of armed peace 1t might well be argued
that the state should go on and finish the job
it has begun. Moreover, there is the political
need of some great issue which shall serve tc

to weld them into permanent and trustworthy

CANCEL THE ILLEGAL PROMOTIONS.

Good work has been done by Police Commis-
sioner Greene. and before him by Police Com
missioner Partridge. in wedding out unworthy
members from the force The Civil Service
Commission has also taken q hand TO revoke
the certificates obtained by fraud on which
promotions were made by the old Tammany
Police Commission. The case Of Captain
. Deevy, whose record is said to have been doc
tored" by emitting The entry of fine Of ten
days pay. is under investigation. He is
one of the eighteen captains who were pro-
moteG by the York board for political reasons
and in plain disregard OF law. as was found by
the State Civil Service Commission. after care
fui inquiry at the instance Of the New-York
Civil Service Reform Association.
These Illegal promotions ought to be set aside
with the least possible delay. It was found by
the State Commission that In square defiance
Of law York and Sexton had parcelled out the
promotions as patronage. and the Civil Service
lists were -jockeyed" TO make this possible.
The commissioners simply made Up TO suit
themselves records Of previous service on which
promotion was largely based, In violation of
the statute which required the record to be
digests of the regular daily reports Of the de-
partment Men whose record on the books was
of the best were reported poor in order 10
make their promotion impossible, and the IA
<orites were reported excellent" notwith-
standing records Of bad conduct The whole
thing was a palpable fraud and Sexton him
self brazenly admitted that the law had not
been obeyed- A taxpayers suit was brought IN
behalf Of the Civil Service Reform Association
10 set aside these promotions, but the Appellate
Division decided that as the captains served
under color of authority the remedy was not
by taxpayers suit 10 stop their salaries. but
by QUO warranto proceedings. This has caused
much delay in bringing the matter to trial on
tts merits. but at the end Of last year Attorney
General Davies granted the necessary pern1is-
sion for quo warranto proceedings and the
prosecution is now in the hands Of Corporation
Counsel Rives.
1t is to be hoped that this suit viii be quickly
taken up and vigorously pushed 10 q prompt
conclusion We know of nothing that would
result in more wholesome discipline than the
cancellation Of these promotions. They stand
to-day IN the eyes OF every policeman as an ex-
ample Of successful viliany. The men see that
the moment rascals like York and Sexton are In
power they can beat the law, and that honest
officials who come after are apparently help
Jess. The lawbreakers snap their fingers and
say that there is nothing to fear. The lesson
fheg learn is when IN power TO do as they
please. confident that even Il they do fan upon
hard times of honest administration they will

misfortune If this administration ends fits term
