It is understood that the report Of the off,
cial investigation was completed yesterday and
forwarded to Washington. What its conclu-
sions are was not divulged but from the tenor
of the evidence elected on Friday, there can
be little reason to doubt that the inspectors
who conducted the inquiry will censuro the
use Of boilers so defective as to imperil the
lives of passengers by the hundred. That
one of the large fues should only have had
the thickness of one-sixteenth of an inch of

France.


The Russian Ambassador in the French capt.
tai has, it is said, received Cabinet note from
draw the congratulations which he lately pre-
sented to President Theirs in the name of the
Gar, and also to assure the chief of the
French executive of s'the dissatisfaction of His
Majesty Alexander at the aggressive attitude
of the radical party in France" This news is
really important if it be exactly correct as
stated. It goes to show that the impe-
rialist assemblage in Berlin was not,
after all, mere affair of pomp
and vanity, but deliberate coalition of the
great military monarchies undertaken with
the intent Of pitting the governmental system
by ''divine right" against that of the democ-
racy as established in France under the proc
lamation that the vor p0puR is the UoI
Del, and superior, consequently, to the tradi-
tional assumption of heavenly authority to
the Crowns. President Theirs cannot control
the tendency of the political will of the people
of France. He is himself merely venerable
embodiment of the revolutionary principle vim
dicaisi to grand public triumph after the en-
durance of years of fearful battle and of intense
sorrow by the people. The Gar would ap-
pear rude in the eyes of the world to despatch
such message couched in language such as
we quote from the cable telegram. But even
monarchs can be rude at times. Witness Ma
poleons sudden rebuff to the Austrian Minister
at the Tuileries, and on New Years Day, too,
when the French ruler had decided on the war
which was terminated at Villafrnnca. We can
scarcely believe, Notwithstanding, that the
Emperor of Russia has been chosen for the
hazardous duty of throwing down the gauntlet
of monarchical insult and defiance to the dem
ocracies of Europe in the moment Of their new
inspiration from Paris. Still less can we be-
lieve that His Majesty has accomplished the
fact in such deliberately pointed manner.

A st. Louis miller sought to register as his
trade mark q brand in which the familiar
Masonic symbols of the square and compass
are combined with the name of the streets in
which his mills are located On appeal from
the decision of the Examiner of Trade Marks
the case went before Acting Commissioner
Thacher who has just affirmed the judgment
against the applicant. In support of his posi-
ton he states that the words of the brand do
not come within the legal definition as con-
stituting trade mark, being ueither the name
of any person, firm or corporation, nor de-
is placed. With reference to the Masonic en-
blems used the Commissioner suggests that
the antiquity and widespread existence of the
fraternity and its flourishing condition might
be considered to Withdraw its universally rec
ognized symbols from the category of devices,
whose use could be appropriated as exclusive
property of individuals and endowed with the
sanctions and privileges OF registered trade
mark. In the craft these figures are under

bols as trade marks would constantly work de-
sanctioned they would defeat the object of the
merchant, which is to enlarge and advance his
trade.

which promise such grand results for our
commerce with other nations and our trade at
home. The work ON the parks and streets
and boulevards must not be stopped, and it
must not lack the oversight of an active and
efficient Mayor. In hundred ways is the
Mayoralty more important than ever and
rich and poor are alike interested in it, be-
cause our whole population is equally in
terested in the progress and prosperity of
New York


In this connection we do not urge the
'claims" of any man for Mayor. The interests
of the people are too nearly allied to the
peoples choice to make the ''claims' Of any
man worthy of a moments consideration. But
the Mayoralty has claims upon the citizen if
the citizen has no claims upon the Mayoralty.
We want the best man for the place at this
particular time, and we ask all the rest to
stand aside. Many good men have been sug-
gested, but Mr.. Duncan fills the whole bill
more nearly than any of the others For this
reason, and for the additional one that he is
generally acceptable to the earnest, working
progressive men of the city. we have
supported ana urged nlS nOmlnhtlOn.
The other day we printed the opinions Of o
number of the leading members of the Com
mittee of Seventy, generally acquiescing in the
choice of Mr. Duncan for Mayor. To-day we
publish the views of some of our principal
bankers and presidents of banks, and these it
will be found accord with the opinions of the
more active politicians among our business
men. On every hand it is conceded that no bet
ter selection can be made, and it is unmstak-
ably the true interests of the city that men of
all parties who are the true friends of reform,
and at the same time of wise and progressive
policy, should unite upon him. Politics are
out Of the canvass and reform and progress
are the watchwords Wemust go forward and
not backward, that our city may fulfil its des-
tiny and not fall short of its greatness and
glory. The election for Mayor this year is
crisis in the history of New York, and its re-
suit will be signal for narrowness and parsi-
mony or for renewed progress and prosperity

The population Of New York can afford to give
of their abundance to make their city great
and to entice tribute from every part of the
world. The progress and prosperity Of the
metropolis require wiser and more compre-
hensive policy than ever Congress has shown
in the affairs OF the nation. Liberality,


wisdom and integrity must go together in
our municipal administration. We would
especially impress upon the readers Of the
HERALD that reform is not parsimony
any more than prodigalty is good gov
ernment. To keep the city up to the
steady march of improvement is what we re-
quire of our local rulers. Ward politicians
and political adventures are untitled for any
such task as this. Either they are corrupt or
they are unequal to the occasion. Only man
of strict business habits and strict business
integrity--a man whose conduct Of private
business shows that he is fitted to manage the
affairs of the public-is worthy of considera-
ton in this canvass. Our next Mayor must be
business Mayor. He has to look into and
care for the finances Of great city, sadly de-
ranged by the mismanagement and prodigality
of the previous masters of the treasury. He
has to see that the city is beautifed and
adorned at the same time that its ap-
proaches are made better and more in
viting. The Department of Docks needs

figures, which was not controverted, to show
that in the last few years the War Depart
ment had spent S1O5, 100000 in the pro
ceeds from the sale of war material, and
were unable to account for it in detail,
as confessed by the Secretary Of War in
a letter TO the House. Sixty millions Of
this amount were derived from quarter
masters sales. This entire total is in ad-
dition to the regular appropriations made
every year by Congress for the various
bureaus of that department Although the
Secretary has answered two resolutions of

HAMILTON, CANADA, April 6.--Hon.
VIM. McDougal, formerly member of the
Ottawa Government, late Lieut.. Governor,
in a lecture last night, stated that, when In
England, he had discussed the position of
Canada as affected by the relations between
England and the United States with Card
well, Earl Granville, Gladstone and Adder
ly, under secretary for the colonies in the
previous Government, and the conclusion
they had come to was this That all par
ties recognized the change that had taken
place in the position of England, and were
anxiously preparing in every possible way
to meet the new changes. He had been
forced to the conclusion that their policy
was not to abandon the colonies, nor act so
as to drive them away fromtheir allegiance,
but to prepare them for maintaining their
own position by means of their own right
hand; to make them conscious that If an
attack is made against them they must de-
pend mainly or altogether on their own re-
sources to resist it, falling in which they
must be prepared to accept the consequences,
whatever they might be, which followed ia
vasion and conquest.


Speaking for himself, and speaking
freely, frankly and truthfully, he was Of
opinion that the union of these provinces
was preliminary step for the establishment
of system of government in British Am
erica which would enable us when the
moment arrived or when the necessity
pressed on us to maintain a separate indie
pendent existence among the nations. He
believed that the idea was present to the
minds Of those who took part in that change,
but because they foresaw inevitable contin-
gencies, was it to be charged that they were
disloyal, as had been limited? He took the
position that these men are not open to any
such condemnation. -


He referred to phrase by Lord Montieth
about new nationality, Lord Lisgar's dec
laration that alliance should now take the
place of allegiance, as well as to the repeat
ed observations of leading newspapers of
| England to establish the fact that what the
public men of Canada foresaw was based
on acorrect understanding ofopinion in the
mother country. The whole drift of that
opinion was that the connection with Cana
da was a source of embarrassment
! from which the mother country
should be freed as soon as possible; and il
! English statesmen and the English press
discussed the question so unreservedly
without being subject to the imputation oi
disloyalty, it could not be charged against
the public men of Canada that they were
wanting in loyalty because they recognised
the actual position Of affairs.

The pleasant state Of the weather yesterday
morning had the effect of allowing all persons
p0usly inclined to 90 to church. and deprived those
Gallons individuals, ever on the look out for some
excuse whereby they may postpone their prayers,
Of every chance to cav about the require
ments OF the church in the middle OF q
heated term These bad people had no
chance yesterday morning to plead exhaustion
of mind and body as a reason why their Sunday
devotions should not be performed, and the result
was that the churches were well filed with as
pirants for heavenly pabuum. In the Catholic
churches the halfpast ten O'Clock service well
attended, though In most OF these the sermon was
omitted, the pastors wisely remembering that in
such season as this there could be no knowing
what sort or turn the weather might take.
At st. Stephens church, In Twenty y-eighth street,
there was a noticeable increase in the numbers
attending the high mass as compared with Sun
days recently. when even In this large and splendid
temple the effect OF the heat was most disagreea-
bly, felt The high mass was celebrated yesterday
by the Rev. Father Lynch, the choir parts being all
sung fully usual. The music very at
tractive and II lighter compositions could In
any way reconcile people for the loss OF the sermon,
ing the GregoJian spirit to please the most ardent
admrer of brilliant and sparkling phrasing In the
other parts Of the mass more familiar and perhaps


more devotional music was sung, some OF which was
rendered with all the perfection that true artistic
effort always commands. Should the weather con-
time TO abate In solar pressure the sermons,
doubtless, will be soon resumed at this church.
