Foi Botno time it baa been very evident to
residents of the city that tho stench lactories
either at Hunter's Poiut or on the New-Jersey
ahorc were at work again. The fact was par?
ticularly appreciable when the wind was in
the south, and this threw suspicion on the
refluenta at Bayonne. The appearnuco of ta*S
lower bay yesterday morning confirm* the
Imprccsion that thc suspicion is correct. Theie
waa sludge acid spread over a wide surface
of water. This would lie pretty good purni
against any Hung but au oil rtlinery. All the
factories at Bayonne with ono voice cry out
that they are not guilty. La*t year QSTSISSI
Cornell tried to help us to get rid of these
nuisances. The Attorney-General would do a
popular Hung now if he would undertake to
tee what he eau do.
I The President's plan of Civil Service promo?
tion downward, a* exemidilied in the case of
thc Naval Officer of tbi* port. Mr. Silas W. Kurt,
kae not worded well so tar. Mr. Burt tess not
find oaough in a place worth $.3,000 a year to
reconcilo him for removal trom a positiou
which brought him $8,000. So ho baa
decliueil the appointment of Chief Exam?
iner under the Civil Service Commission. Mr.
KdwardO. Grnves, who has been promptly
niiiuril in tho stead of Mr. Burt, lias beeu in
the se rv ire of the (tove! nm-nt for n score of
years. Ile ia at present siipeiinteuilcnt in one
of tlie bureauR of tho Treasury Department.
His ap|ioiotnieul ia in harmony with tlie princi?
ples of tlie new Civil Service la**v aud is to be
childi nded ou tluise nu innis if on no other.
Dr. Dix's Lenten lectures, have provoked some
lively protest8 from friend . of ? higher ______ ..tion
for women. One of them ergot to-day with
force that the Doctor cannot bean impartial
memt'er of the Columbia College Committee,
Which is expected to consider with judicial fair?
ness the ..liniments, urged hy the petitioners for
the admi.-sion of women in some way to some
of the educational laciliib's ('oluiiibia aftofda.
lt would be a mistake to re sra rd thia as in nny
wav an authoiitaivc expression of the attitude
taken by the Episcopal Church toward thia
movement. As our correspondent shows, Dr.
Colter, Dr. llrooks .ind others atc as positively
fer, as Dr. Dix is .-galoot it, omi in England it
hail the support al no gi en tn cliuph dnrnitnry
as tho Arelibi-hop nf lanterbui v himself. The
iuierest in Dr. Dix's Belies grows, as he ad?
vances; and the discourse reported to-day
thoroughly deserves it.
The full report of tho condition of the paro?
chial and industrial ashsols of the city **_?
11.ii- credit upon the industrious tifli era
nod inspectors of the Society for the Pre?
vention of Ciue'ty to Children. It SHOWS
plainly the dimcan which surround so
many of the children in the city for ti ve or nix
hours tully daria* most of the year. Few of
the ______D*-_KM___N am without serious defects.
In many, doors open iii wald and are kept locked,
while the kev lies on ihe teacher's desk. Stair?
cases are not numerous enough, aud what lhere
ate are too narrow and dark. Fire-csca-res
have not heen provided for many -_ri.d_n._-.
and ns the report suggests, where they are in
place they would be of little use. lu C-ioe of
fire most children would uot know how to use
them. Kven an adult needs a Rood deal of athletic
skill to dcrsccnd them in safety. There is, wo
are happy to say. some chance that the mann
Hers of these schools will heed the suRReationa
which the Society offers. The I'ei.al Code
makes it a misdemeanor to phire minors in situ?
ations when their lives are endangered.
At least the discussions on postal matters in
Coinrress at this session have not heen baiTH
of good results. Tho iBdeTencea betsreen the
House ?nd the Senate in regard to certain
etaauet vf the Post Often Appropriation Ul
hiive been ti ti; .11 v seitled, and tlie measure now
only needs the nignat'ire of the President t.i
baoome a lasr. Tlie must popular change thal
will be effected by this legislation, and the
most hmwrtnot ana. perhaps, is ihe redact iou of
the rates on letters from lin ee cents 'o t wo cents,.
This roos into ellet t the fust of neit October,
There are other icfoims Mhich it would also
hate been well to try lor. Tuen- has Leen ii public
demand for some time, not only for cheap poet
.iR'*, but lor cheap money inlets in Ot iioiniiia
tlfl-atranging from fifty eants upward. They
could be isoied in the shape of Peate] cniiU.
and would he of _a____eaos viilue to the poorer
cinema, wboc-enot sfhrd to pay ten eenta foe
the ordinary inoiiey cnleis. However, half a
loaf ia better than none, snd thc tsres-cent int.
will be gratefully received. The members who
have poshed thia mca-inc have sin un thal
they tue anxious to promote public welfare in
some directions at least.

HUDDERSFIELD'S LOGIC.
Mr. Charles Reade in one of his novels gives
ii pictorial illustraticn of provincial narrowness
in Engl; md. The county is ti aced on a lui Re
neale limited only bj the breadth of the pago ;
the Uuited Kingdom is outlined iu rodaoO-i
proportions within the county *, and the gi ol ir ia
an insignificant ball scaicely lamer than a pru
squeezed into an obscure corner. These were
the relative proposions which the world, the
kingdom and the county had inquired in the
mind of a typical English squire. The manu?
facturers of Huddersfield, whose talk Mr. Por?
ter reproduced lor our miders in his admiral de
lefteis published in Thursday's inane, have a
similar conception of industrial progress.
Huddersfield occupies ho large a share of -heir
thoughts that thev cannot (ind space for much
else. England is tucked away some whe ie in?
side Huddersfield, and the terrestrial ball is left
Spinning in minute insignificance, just outside
Huddersfield. They complain tl at for twenty
yens Huddersfield ha. lieen "tmggTingOgninsl
adverse taufts. English di pl ora lists cannot
negotiate fiee-tiade tin ids for Hmldei-field's
benefit. EiiRlinh economists cannot induce a
foolish and wicked wm!.I to do its duty hy
Huddersfield. As soon us Huddeislield iuventi
something new in tweeds, ? cheap and attrac?
tive,'' and a foreign market is opened for it, up
Roes the duty and Huddersfield is cheated out
of thc fruits of its industry. Bismarck's tariff luis
shut OM all except the finest elms of Iluililt in?
field's woollens, ami ficrmauy hus actually be
guu.to produce the low, henry grades foi ?itself,
iimt is oren m_mnfofliiilng its n_m_o_lsHnn
The French mode of c'n>sitiratiun ia also very
vexatious 1.0 fur hs Hudd.rslicl 1 is coner lind,
and Italian manufactures ure steadily .ncicasijig
?ados one of lhasa ?aboard'' high tarilla.
Sp.-tin, Austria and Barnda KIO iiidillcn-iil to
Huddersfield's welfare j nm! a? f?r thc British
colenie.s, iHiiiiila, Vii -loria and the Cape, they
ale" wc tar tliau foreign coniiries." Al.ugclhci'
il .-.eems u dark night for Huddersfield, ead the
only gleam _ of light in the I.or.nm is thc |ftoo?
' peet Ol Dcniocialic _OC00O_ in Aiiieiicaii elec?
tions. "That," says one of nndiin_io.de
woollen niarrufacturers, "will __-_.in gm. us
? hack at kasi a good part of tin- tiny pg \jtapn
"ot customers of whom we have beeu rohlied
? by your high war tai ill. '
Hudder_ .eld's logic in this matter is so r-imple
tbnt it can be readily followed even by those
who regard economics as a science ot complex
abstractions. Free trade is a *ystein which
biippena to suit Hudder*fleld individually. If
it could lie rendered a principle ol universal ap?
plication. Huddersfield would revel in pSBSftST*
Ity, making woollen* nol only for F.uglnnd and
Ireland, but also for fifty million customers iu
the Doited States and for the rest of mankind,
ll udder-field naturally infers that a policy
which undoubtedly would be boat for itself
must ni mi be bSSl for oil nations. It wants to
have tlio tari flu broken down. It cannot under?
stand why the natious of the earth SIS unwill?
ing to lind out what they cnn m.ike most
cheaply, or what they can do most pmfitably,
uud then make and do just that. For making
cloth Huddersfield has Ibo advantages SS*&B*>
fasted skill, enlarged expedience, cheap capital
iiiitl cheap labor. Hiiddnstield is willing to
BBSks cloth for customers allover tbs world
and receive iu return lhe cheapest products of
every nation, lt could do Uria now, if "the
sinisler principle of proleetiou " WSfS not in the
wny. I'ndei a comprehensive svste.ii of free
trude it. is ciiiifidi-iit that tba nations would be
admitted into a universal l.iollu-i Hood, whose
chief concern would be tbs giBStBS. good of tho
BTSSltSt inimber. As a matte* ol' OMIIBSa it
would expert to make nea; ly nil the Holli Lt
that federated coiiiinoiiwealtli of unselfish hu
mai'ity ; uud it would be willing to do that!
And what n sDi-ctacle it WOSld be fer god* and
men! An era ot univrr-vil pOSOSi nations
trafficking their cheapest product*, and man
kiud arrayed with one consent in Huddersfield
woollens I
Tbe fallacy In H-nlib-r-dleliVs louie i* tlie ns
Biiinrilioii that uliat suits it individually will of
neci.s-.itv be best for governments and nation*
under all i nmbinatinns of econouile condition*.
Huddersfield and l.ngl.ind a* well have un
doiilitedly prospered under free I .nie, and il
tfiey were not encompassed by a community of
high-tariff nations they would probably thrive
us they have never thrived in lin- psst.
Hut lhe conditions ufincting Huddersfield ure
not universal, and it does not follow (hat be?
cause langland would be benefited by universal
free tr^de other nations must recognize sn
obligation to incur industrial martyrdom for
the sake of an abstract principle. Nations, like
ti.en ol liiMinrsH, nie guided bf practical expe

PROPOSED CHARTER LtGlSLATlOS.
Bott to secure efficient local government foi
thin city is a difficult prill,lem. TboSS perrons
who have given lt the most study, and who
have no personal or political end* to serve, do
not always aurie a* lo thc legislation needed.
I'pon one question, however, there is among
them BO ditbienie ot opinion ; asd that is in
regard to givingthe Aldermen b Baals in the Hp
piiititing power. When that point is rc.u-hrd, the
nell seeking politicians and the disinterested te
formers always nait i iiiiipan.v. The politician*
eonredr the need of irfntni. bill they tm lend to
believe that lt run be bfOBghl about by permit?

It may lie regarded as settled by tbe opinion of
all persons not politicians tha. the Aldermen
should not be allowed to retain uny control
over the Mayor's appointments. Tho next
Mayor -mould hare free uro of the appointing
power, btu there should be proper restrictions
ovei his right of removal.
There appears to he a good deal of niisunder
?ftaadiag In regard to the nambo, ni heads
which a department should have, Siugle
hcaded d_p..r_iiieiitj would not bo a panacea for
all evils, as some well-intentioned tOTM-M seem
to think. It ia qiieatioiiable whether such a
thungo would not ho very detiiiuental iu some
cases. A Hoard holds public meetliiRR, or should
be eompelled to dp so, and publicity is obtained
for ifs proceedings, while a single Commissioner
acts iu secret Few persons will MMlt that the
Deparimeiit of Public Works, with oue hoad, li
as well munai-cd M the Fire Department, or that
of lazes, or Charities and Correction, each one
of winch is in charge ot tlnee Commissioners.
Hoards thal can he evenly divided, like that ot
the I'm k Department, or the Police Board, are
often detrimental to the public iateroete, Dead?
locks or bargains generally follow Mich divi

There should be one bond to ii department as
