But perhaps those cases are only part of tho campaign of the reformers who favor tho oppointmont of women to tho police forco. "UNFELT" TAIE8. Senator Inoalls voices tho view of tho war-tariff surplus-spenders in saying that " the pooplo of tho United States pay their taxes without feeling them." So does a man whose pocket is deftly picked loso his money " without feeling it ;" but is his loss less real on that account ? It is both absurd and cruel to say to tho working pooplo of this country that they "do not feel" the taxes upon their food, fuol and clothing because they pay them to tho Custom. House through tho dcalor in stead of directly to a tax-gatherer. A man feels a burden, though ho may not seoit. A OOOD EE00BD. Secretary LiUAti's showing that ovor 31,000,000 acres of land have been restored to tho public domain by tho present Admin istration, is a splendid ono. Too long tho land grabbors had their way. " Tbo people's land for tho peoplo " is a sound Domocratic maxim. Tho recovery of half an aero each for every man, woman and child in tho country is an achievement to boast of. THE AMERICAN WAT. " A Britisher," apropos tho " Lord Court enay" case, suggests that, whenover an allegod nobloman appears on tho horizon, referenco should-at onco be made to Buiikb'h " Peerage," which he fondly itnaglnos is to be found in tho bookcase of overy fashion able Amorican family. It may be doubted whether Bubee is so popular an author in this country as sup posed, and his recommendation is of precious little valuo anyhow. A real lord is often not much of an improvement on a bogus ono. Tho sensible, truly Amorican way is to judge a man on his merits. If ho is n knavo or a uoodlo, all the titles in tho " Peerago " cannot ohaugo him. If he is a genuine geu. tlemon he needs no titles to recommend him. The rank Is but the guinea's stamp, Tne msn's the gold for a' that. THE UNSAFE 0HUB0HES. Tliero was a panio in a Jersey City Sunday school yesterday, caused by defective steam, boating apparatus. There are over two scoro ohurches in this vicinity which have been condomnod by flro underwriters on account of unsafe arrango. ments for heating. Is nobody responBlblo for this dangerous state of affairs? Can the churches afford to run tho riBk of a cremation every Sunday? It is tho duty of a shepherd to guard his flock. Let tho clorgy themselves take chargo of this mattor, and stop this reckless disre gard of the safety of thoir congregations and Sunday-schools. No court is higher than tho peoplo. The suggestion that a decision of tho Court of Appeals is not to bo discussed or questioned is properly robuked in a romorkably able and pungent' letter in this morning's Tribune. Tho fallibility of this tribunal is very plainly shown. Tho soldiers who make parades and tho pooplo who love to boo them, the people who drlvo and thoso who like to boo driving, the promenaders and tho onlookers, are united in demanding the retention of tho law that prohibits a railway on Fifth avonuo. The old Whig notion that no matter how high a tariff may bo piled it must still bo worshipped as a fetich and never bo dis. turbed, has naturally mado no improssion upon tho sound Democratic heads at Wash. Ington. No Senator or Assomblyman has tho hardi hood publicly to defend tho proposed Fifth aveuuo grab. But thero is a lot of " explain ing I' yet to bo dono at Albany. The project will bear watching and will have it. Tho department reports and estimates call for an increase of nearly $25,000,000 over last year's allowanco.

One brother, Edward, is in business in East Orango, and n second brother, John, has been missing for years, and is thought to be dead. A third sister was buried only last August in Cincinnati. Tho homo of the Cocs is in Blawcnburg, Somerset County, N. J. The father was a well-to-do farmer, but was unablo to keep tho children about tho homestead. After his death, eovou years ago, the restless ones drifted nuny. Four years ago, Nellio loft homo.

Sterling at Trenton, and then drifted from placo to placo until she reached Now York. That was over two yj'ors aio. Hinco then sho 1ms occupied numerous npartmoiits. Sho resided, provions to occupying her present homo, at 105 West Fortieth street. In all her wanderings sho kept her mother and sis ters informed as to hor whereabouts. Nellie, while always referring in hor letters to her homo here and hor surrounding, seldom mentioned maid acquaintances and never wrote about young Picket, in whose arms sho died aud who says ho was to marry her next wook. Sho referrod to the new business enterprise in which sho had in terested horself stock speculation but from tho tenor of hor stories the enterprise was not remunerative. Tno members of tho family aro shocked at her stiddon and strange death, but attributo it to heart disease, which, it is claimed, is hereditary, one sister having died of that complaint, Thov cannot oxplatn the ovidonces or dissipation found in tho trunk, but say that tho cigarette . holder which was among the bundles of letters thero belonged to hor brother-in-law, a Mr. Voorhees, who lives in Somerset county. Whon Nellio left home tho sister says, she playfully took tho holder from the mantel, and with the ro mark, "I'll have this to remember you by," slipped it into hor pockot.
