in a e count court of justice an an overwhelming blow against the ring king Butth but then heaved enit it just occurs to us to ask wb where bere lere in heavens s name I 1 is there an honest court in new now york before which such sueh a case could be fairly tried GoldenA golden age gc july luty new york and utah are similarly sit situated dated in this respect TheR the ring king ingin in new york controls the courts and dictates dictate their policy and their action the ring bing in utah has for its chief members the officers of the courts in new york the press is admitted to be the court of the last resort in utah the press freis has hla done yeomans service in exposing the corruption odthe of the ring eing in holding it up to the bar of public opinion and to public execration and has shown itself to be the bulwark of the people but there is this difference between the ring eing of new york city and the bing ring in this city the former has for its object the appropriation of public moneys but the latter isalt is not nob content with this it would plunder the public treasuries abdat and at the same time rob the people whose taxes fill them of that which is fan far more valuable their chiv civil il and religious liberties and right rights new york ought to be able to sympathize with utah there it ia Is thou thought glit to be an sti axce exceedingly bad condition of affairs for the judges of the city to be as the golden age says the purchased property of its plunderers plunderer its paid agents but how much worse is the state of affairs when the judges are

their representatives to take part in the grand grandest musical festival the world banever has ba sever ever seen the new york senaid Herald of the ath uit ul thas haef hasi a longi article articie on tho the subject and is enthusiastically in n favor of the scheme it alig suggests gesta that a day be devoted to t the performance of the national airs and compositions of alli all ali or the

position within the coliseum ebl play their national air the volume of harmony to be increased by the immense chorus and orchestra participating such a project is unique and if the pro gramme of the

mightiest est that mort mortal alears ears ever had the privilege of listening to there is one thing in connection with the affair that seems a trine trifle out of place that is the tho names name for it ia is to be called the worlds international peace jubilee jubliee ay the power of music to soothe the feelings of saint or savage has been demonstrated by universal experience peri ence thousands of times but in preventing nations cutting each others throats or kings playing the royal game of war when kings or people have a mind to do so it is as powerless as the song bong the angels sang at the birth of the founder of christianity or aa as the precepts of his gospel over the hearts of savages if the nations invited to participate in the festival had bad bound themselves by solemn treaties to turn their spears into pruning hooks and their swords into ploughshares plough shares and thia this festival wasia wasla was wab in commemoration of the happy event it might with at ety oty be called an international peace besil festival N ral bal but while all the great powers of europe Ci germany ermany russia austria and england a as ai i well as turkey italy and switzerland at are aie e up and doing arming organizing reorganizing re their military and naval systems strengthening their forts and making every dign for a struggle which for magnitude may completely eclipse the war of 1870 it does seem beem rather foolish to talk of an international peace festival or jubilee the magnitude of the scheme and the chance chanca of hearing at one time all th the a best musical talent in the world will insure iu reits its success and the grandeur and sublimity of such an concourse ora ofa of bounds will be appreciated just as much if peace talk in connection with it be left out and in times like thesesa the these seso sebo so pregnant with the tokens and alarms of war that would woul d be the more consistent course THE tim explosion of the steamer westfield at staten island last sunday the details of which have bave appeared in iu the tele graphia dispatches the last iut three or four days dayer is one of the mot most fearful occur xeno zeno besof the kind that ever happened hind and what adds to the the horror borror of the affair making it amount to an awful crime prime it seems beems to have been the result wholly of carelessness and ignorance the summering buffering ering bring and d death e aali caused by this 1 dreadful i catastrophe have led to an dinv inv investigation esti estl gation gatlon of its causes an investigation vesti gation perfectly useless because the mischief wis wig was done and no nd amount of sympathy or pecuniary reparation par pa ration atlon can compensate the tile sufferers or their friends if the investigation made since the wholesale murder took place had bad been made before it would bould not have occurred for it was shown that ahat the boiler of the boat being in a very unsound state led to the dire calamity the engineer of the westfield bays says from an examination of the boiler he made wide last thursday he apprehended an explosion joslon and an examination of the cylinder lider inder blown out dut shows that the iron had bad been eaten esten until it was as thin as four sheets of paper two government inspectors were examined at the investigation ti one of them said that the inner casing of the boiler was broken and in bis his opinion the boiler boher had bad been held te gether together for a long time by a thin outside plating and be he was surprised the explosion had not occurred before the other inspector overhaul overhauled cd the steamer before the tho fatal trip and be he said he was so thoroughly satisfied with her condi tion that he would have traveled on her ber himself it will be seen that the testimony 14 ony of these two employed emp loyes of the government clashes very materially an and d plainly 1 shows that if one is competent 1 t t the h e other is shamefully incompetent or wickedly careless and whichever it ia Is and one or the other it must be such a man is not only unfit for his position but buk is actually responsible and should be e heavily punished for this terrible slaughter another point in the evidence given on the investigation worthy of or notice is that in relation to the engineer robinson the testimony was unanimous as to his ability and fidelity but it wa was equally conclusive as to his hib ignorance of what a man filling such a responsible position should know according to to days dispatches he be fied that he had been an engineer nearly fifteen years could not explain the difference between low and high pres ure are except that one boat used steam st low pressure and the other at high pressure he defined a vacuum to be fou Lair he knew the atmosphere exerted a pressure but did not know how to read scientific books he could read wt wilting biting and print a little he was obliged to obtain assistance to ascertain the mount amount of steam the certificate of a boiler permitted the superintendent of the line believed that robinson was sober on the day the disaster easter df occurred and he also testified in relation to him that he had bad often threatened to discharge him for carrying over twenty seven pounds of steam he believed if the engineer had not carried over twenty five pounds the boiler would not have exploded still I 1 he had no idea he had over twenty seven pounds nothing can be clearer than that the 41 basten was caused by ignorance and carelessness and as long as such inspectors spec tors and such engineers are employed BO so long must the public expect to be shock edwith with occurrences of this sad and terrible nature the explosion i of the boiler toiler of the westfield fes Wes ifield has caused upwards of one hundred deaths moat most of which have been attended with fearful suffering while fany forty or fifty others have been more oi or less severely burned scalded injured and maimed and arid yel yet yet i borall for all ali this for the want of or through defective legislation on the subject those who through their carelessness and ignorance were directly responsible will probably escape with no punishment tryone beyond public censure such parties artia ought to be subjected to the highest highest penalty known to the law and nothing short of severe penal enactments against such men and those who employ them will ensure immunity from the recurrence of such sueh baia bala calamities as this h which ch bad is as it Is if it have the effect of arousing public attention and leading to stringent legislation will not be an unmixed evil evit WE wn are indebted to charles B R story esq member of the san francisco blaid board of supervisors for two volumes vo
