4 PARK FOB BOSTON.

A Joint special committee Of the Boston
Common Council has recently been subjected
TO Clearing" on proposed public park 1or
the inhabitants of Eastern Massachusetts,. AT
this audience prominent citizens untolded the
future of the metropolis of New-England with
magnificent precision never surpassed even
by the inhabitants of Chicago. M. George b.
Upton believed that the population of the city
would continue to increase In the same ratlo
that it had done for the last fifty years, and
that they might expect to see there within
century q city of 100000 inhabitants. MIR.
Edward Crane followed with statement OF
"tbe growth of Boston. Her population had
doubled once in twenty years during the
"present century. At the same relative rate
"tbere would be within her present limits in
1880 population Of 100000 souls. And
"should this progressive increase continue
"there would be within century 4.SOO,OOO
"people within her borders. 1t might provoke
"a smile, but he asserted that it was certain
"and as simple as the rule of three" In re-
ply to gentleman who asked If certain
locality near the Mount Hope Cemetery was
not peculiarly exposed to the east wind, Mr.
Crane replied that he liked the east wind,
and thought it was one of the great
est blessings BOstonians had 1t made
active, nervous men. Mr. Elizur Wright then
presented printed document, advocating the
purchase Of no less than 1000 acres of land
surrounding " Cheese Rock" and lying between
the beautiful and sequestered Spot Pond and
the Mystic Rivera tract of " moro than Six
square miles of beauty, in spite of the worst
the ruthless wood-choppers have been abIo
"to do.n To get to this sequestered Spot Mr..
Wright proposed that the city should build
"ten miles or so" of double-track railway,
crossing Spot Pond on viaduct, which no
parenthetically remarked would cost " a mil
" lion dollars or two" The railroad. equipped
to run thirty trains of ten cars each every day,
Mr. Wright estimated would absorb $3,OOO,OOO.
Fifteen thousand passengers at ten cents apiece
would pay seven per cent on this capital, re-
imburse the Boston and Maine road for the use
of its main track and depot, and defray the
running expenses of the trains. but let us
"suppose,n continues Mr.. Wright in his grand
way "tbat We have only five thousand per day,
chow long should we have to wait for the other
ten thOusand2n We advise the Committee
to have this question settled by the decision
of Mr. Josiah Quincy before they recommend
the Common Council to buy the land and con-
tract for the road Mr.. Quincy would undOubt-
eddy consider that the four million eight hun
dred thousand souls nhabiting Boston, not in
Guiding the immense populations of Chelsea
and Lynn, ought to furnish more than $1,000
passengers per diem. lie would, we dare say,
insist on q reduction of the fare to one cent,
and an increase in the number of trains to ac-
cOmmOdate half million. What future is
there in store for Boston if only her citizens
arc wise enough to grasp it!

inquiry, it invites by facilitating it, If Ten

here is public notice that gigantic fraud is medl-
tated, and at what polls it is to be attempted
With four days between the close of regis
tration and the opening of the polls-still better
with ak days-we could have reduced the fraud
ulent vote cast in this City last week enough to
give Franz Sigel the certificate of election which
the legal voters awarded, but which the bogus
voters and fraudulent canvassers have denied
him.
But we demand the Previous Question.
What zoe deem best, or what we would have
done, is of no present Importance We did
not help make the Constitution which now
requires that claws shall be made for ascer-
Claiming by proper proofs the citizens who
"shall be entitled to the Right of Suffrage
Mr.. Tilden did that; and the duty of obeying
it has passed over to his side. He is lawyer,
and knows that assertion is not proof-that q
mere claim does not establish a right. If SIM
pie offer to swear himself voter was deemed
sufficient, no such provision as that above
quoted was needed or should have found a
place in the Constitution. But there it stands
and Mr.. Tilden, who aided to place it there,
is at the head of the party which is now re-
uuired to obey it. Thus far, they have crti-
clsed, and caviled, and illuminated; now they
must act. And, if they have particle OF faith
in the logic paraded by The World, they will
repeal not only the act which requires Regis
tration of Voters. but that also which requires a
Registration of Deeds. But repeating acts, no
matter how far carried, will not fulfill their
responsibility. The Constitution requires, not
that laws shall be repealed, but that laws shall
he made" How will you deal with thatf

IJROR OFFICES.

It is nearly as important to have easy means
of procuring employment as it is to have
high rate of wages. Even when labor Is most
in demand, there are numbers unemployed, to
the mutual loss Of the workman and the en-
ployer. The official statistics of France show
that the agricultural laborer works at his reg
ular duties only 226 days in the year, and re-
ceives on the average, with board, the sum OF
% to 81 cents per day for his services. The
diversified industry which this country now
enjoys saves us from similar waste Of time
and depression of wages. Labor being thus
brought into requisition, free public intelli-
gence Office has become of the first necessity.
That in operation at the PlymptOn Buildings
has, since its establishment on the 10th OF
June provided situations for 1O,63J persons.
JTp to the end of October, 5,201 men had APP
piled for situations, and of these 3,0l7 were
provided with places ,OO3 being in the city
and 2,O14 in the country. The number Of en-
ployers requiring male help was 1901 Q,434
city and 24G7 country. and of these SO4 were
not supplied. A number of circumstances ac-
count for the failure of these S04 to find the
hands they wanted, but the principal reason
was an objection on the part of the laborers
TO leave town, and desire to obtain light
employments.
In respect to women, the advantages of the
agency are still more striking, and have been
more generally turned to account. Out OF
1928 who registered their names, 1913 found
situations: 5,4O5 in the city and 1913 in the
country. The demand for female help at the
Office is far above the supply, for during the
four and half months there were 11048 ap-
plicatiOns, of which 1884 were from the city
and 1924 from places out of town. These
figures show different conclusions than the rel
alive number of vacant situations and appli-
cants would indicates but the unemployed
women demonstrate an unwillingness to ex-
change city for country life, and their facilities
for finding employment Independently OF the
Office are very great.
To render this Intelligence Office of still
greater benefit, it only remains that it should
be extensively encouraged, and become recog-
nized as the most convenient and inexpensive
arrangement which all those interested can
adopt. While the effect of our national legis-
lation is to diversity labor and secure it a just
reward, the people should at least cooperate to
enable all who are in involuntary idleness to
secure work.

"and grief which swell man up So" place
truly fat man. like truly good man, chief
among the mOnrners. But there is that in
round countenance that smiles upon despair,
like corpulence on monument. We think OF
fat. ruddy-cheeked men, dying without trag-
edy. Mortality quizzes them, chokes them
with their own mirth. They are killed by the
prosperity Of the flesh only. like Cupids
smothered to death by pillows. Death tickles
them with straw, and louder laugh than
usual shakes the life out Of them.
Now, whoever says that our fat men are only
the sleepers of the social railroad, and so dis
posed that engines of lean enterprise may run
over them, does not know whereof he speaks.
We venerate the lean mans cause, but for the
fat man dare to plead. Any fat movement
must be necessarily slow, and it will be some
time before such cause can prepare platform
sufficient for its weight; but in the event OF a
struggle for superiority, the cause of emaciatlon
and of anatomy must go to the wall. The Fat
movement, in brief, is simply demand fol
elbow room, and as one for added suffrage ii
ought and will be of the broadcast character
Think of these solid men groaning under the
expressions of the franchise, and crying out
against custom! If lean men have one vote
why should fat men not have two9 Two, did
we sayP Why not vote entirely by avoIdu-
pois, and so give the Fat Mems Association q

1t seems equally easy for the English Gov
eminent to deny to Irshmen the release of a
few prisoners, and to make peremptory de-
mand upon the Liberians for what in justice
they ought not to yield. The case of the lat
ter is simple. The Mauna and Gallinas coun-
tries have been recognized in British maps and
by British officials as belonging to the Liberians,
but the native prince of those regions having re-
VOTED in the interest of the Sierra Leone
smugglers, the Liberan Government found it
necessary to overawe the rebel and seize n
schooner and some other property ded-
Gated to the business of smuggling Here
upon the English authorities of Sierra
Leone have founded a claim for damages and.
by direction of Lord Clarendon, arbitrarily
enforced it. This has been done nOtwith-
standing several points of what seems to us
righteous objection. In the first place, the
country smuggled in belonged to Liberia; in
the second, the property seized belonged to
smugglers AS related to us, the case appears
to be altogether with the Liberians, and the
tone of the demand made upon them by Gov.
Kendall seems to have been adapted to a
people weaker and darker than the English.
We trust that the matter may be found
worthy of inquiry.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-11-11

We are gratified to learn that the Committee
of Ways and Means of the House Of Repre-
sentatives have returned from the extensive
tour to which they have devoted the Summer
and FALL and feel very much refreshed alter
their vacation. They went everywhere and
saw everything; viewed the Lake ports; WIS.,
tied the principal harbOrs of the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, enjoying, we trust, the excellent
sea bathing for which our free country is justly
celebrated; explored California, Oregon. and
Washington Territory; tarried several days at
Omaha tried Che Pullman Palace Cars on the
Union Pacific Railway; and fingered awhile
among the seducing luxures Of Chicago. All
the members of the Committee had hand in
this gorgeous excursion except Mr: Schenck,
and he went to Europe. The whole body
ought, therefore, to be in excellent training for
the Winters work, and we shall expect from
them duringlthe next session the most intense
application to business. We need hardly say
that the honorable gentlemen will of course
defray their own expenses. Mr. Schenck UNI
doubtedly paid the cost of his European tour
ont of his own pocket, and the country would
like to take it for granted that his colleagues,
who enjoyed their Summer junketng on this
side of the ocean, will follow his excellent ex-
ample.
