LOTTERY SwINDLEs. that will be
rich fall into temptation and snare" So says
Paul, and, as the wife of Bath assures us,
''Paul' 8 sound divine" We suppose 1t is
the desire of every man to be suddenly rich
that keeps life into these never ending gift
enterprises and dollar shops; but what folly
can be greater than the folly these swindlers
trade upon? Dear, good people Of the metropo-
lis, cannot you reach TO the conclusion that the
man is evidently fooling you who sells you a
ticket for one dollar and positively declares
that every ticket holder shall get prize worth
two dollars, and that dozen holders Of
favorite numbers shall get from one to ten
thousand dollars each ? Will you insist that
there is certainly some mystery in It? Well,
the whole mystery Is this: the seller Of the
ticket is knave and the buyer is a fool.

THE DRIVES IN THE PARK.-Probably no
park in the world can boast of better roadway
than our Park. When the roads were made it
was supposed by the Commissioners that they
were sufficiently wide to meet the wants of the
community. Experience, however, has shown
that they are entirely too narrow as thorough
fares for the numerous and daily increasing
vehicles that throng that fashionable place Of
resort. We see no good reason why they
should not be widened at the first convenient
opportunity, as the space that might be de-
voted to that purpose is almost unlimited. At
present the roads are more or less dangerous.

A WESTERN SENATORIAL SENsATroN.-The
st. Louis Despatch announces the contest
lately going on in regard to the United States
Senatorship from Missouri in the following
startling displayed heading: Kilkenny Cat
Fight" 'Dog Eat Dog" ''The Great Radical
Row." 'Drake and Schurz in the Ring, ''First
Blood and First Knock Down for Schurz,"
''Drake Returning to his Know Nothing vomit,"
'sHe Denounces the Germans, and adds edi-
torially:-''The controversy between the
Puritan and the inHdel, the Know
Nothing and the German, is growing
iercer and bittercr every moment. Here Is
an authentic account of the set-to between
Drake and Schurz last night:-Go it, husbandi
go Il, bear. Allen mind your eye, Davis put
in your duke" All Of which translated
means that the German element in Missouri
has signally triumphed over Know Nothingism
in the nomination Of Carl Schurz by the re-
publican caucus.

the language Of the chief radical organ in this
city, in endorsing Mr.. Wilson's action and in
condemning General Buffers, it would be rea-
sonable to conclude so. There is, as we have
said, no middle course. Those Senators who
are for the new administration will oppose Mr..
Wilson's proposition and 60 for the repeal Of
the Tenure of Office bill, and those against it
will act otherwise. We regard this as the en-
tering wedge OF conflict between the extreme
radical faction and the incoming administra-
ton. The result will be looked for with deep
interest.

SO far as they have gone, show that Spain is

that it will not be wonderful if the difficulty Of
the provisional government be greater after
the elections than before. II is difficult to
discover good reason why the government
candidate, if they have any, should not be
more prominently set before the people. Ha
surprise is intended, a surprise may be dan
gerous. If candidate is still to be decided
upon, the future cannot be said to be pro-
missing.

General Grant aad Henry wilss..
Mr.. Henry Wilson, Of ofMassachusetts, objects
to the repeal of the Tenure Of Office law. He
is the man who wants to save the country
from Grant He is the one sleepless guardian
Of the national welfare who stin appreciates
our danger. All other men in the nation-we
might say all other powers, for Of course VIII
son is o power-have considered the danger
that there might be in Grant having the full
that 1t is chimera. Wilson knows they are
wrong Here is the whole mass of the
nation-the people from Maine to Missouri,
and Alaska to Louisiana nearly-they have
all considered this thing and voted their abso-
lutte trust in Grant; have declared in the most
unequivocal terms their confidence and
faith in the honesty, the upright purpose, the
resolute integrity Of this man. Wilson alone
cannot trust him. Surely Wilson, If not the
people, Is little better than the people, and
wisdom will die with him. Here also are the
representatives Of the people, and they have
expressed the popular thought with an almost
unqualified voice, only forty-seven echoes Of
radical frenzy and chagrin saying nay; but
Wilson knows that the representatives Of the
people are deceived; that their eyes are
blinded to what they ought to see; that they
are sleepy guardians of right, and smooth,
good natured fellows, who have given way to
cajolery. He alone cannot be deceived
cannot be blinded. He alone continues
sternly resolute to guard the nation from
the danger it would be in if Grant should pos
sess the same power held by every preceding
President-the power to perform in his own
way the acts for which he is held responsible.
Perhaps people may fancy from the fact that
Wilson is the head and front of the opposition
to the repeal Of this law, that then the opposi-
ton is intellectually feeble one, that 1t has
not behind it any considerable authority in
knowledge of the law; or, in logical view Of
the political results of given act that it is the
mere opposition of routine and stupidity, and
man who wants to stand forward as oppos-
ing something, no matter what. Strictly
speaking they might be right, but it might be
hardly just to argue in that way. Wilson, it
is true, is not great lawyer, in fact no lawyer
at all nor great statesman, nor a particu-
larly clear thinker. But what then? You
cannot expect everything Of one man. He is
the friend of the country, the man who stands
ready to guard it though all others have given
it up. This resolute virtue must be accepted in
lieu.of great abilities. Grant is the man who
has done the country greater services than
any man living, and Wilson is the man who
has done it less service than any other man
living; nevertheless he possesses patriotism
SO much superior to Grants that he can ven-
ture to suspect the sinister designs of that
soldier, and is ready to fight him in the cause
of the country. Grant has performed his
services. Wilson's turn has evidently come.

Mrs. GRANT AND THE LADIES OF THE
soUTH.-A Georgia lady, writing from the
Metropolitan in this city to the Atlanta New
Era, denies statement that Mrs. Grant had
been guilty of harshness and ingratitude
towards the people Of the South while on a
visit to her husband when he was on military
duty in Georgia. The writer says she was in
the South at the time Mrs. Grant was there,
and, with many others, experienced from that
lady "the most marked kindness and gentle
treatment" These are pleasant lines falling
In pleasant places.

BURNS NATAL FESTIVAL year the ad-
mirers of Burns, under the presidency Of
David Dudley Field, are determined to outdo
all previous efforts in celebrating his natal day.
1t appears that the ladies are now to rush
to the shrine, and, at the Metropolitan
Hotel, make the evening glow with brlliancy
of dress and an array of beauty rarely equalled
They are determined not to let the gentlemen
have all the enjoyment in these celebrations; +;
and they are right. 1t is related that when
Benjamin Franklin was on the eve Of leaving
Paris for the United States he received little
note from Madame Helvetius inviting him to
dine. Although it prevented his departure
he courtcously answered that he would willingly
postpone visit to Paradise for such plea
sure. We have no doubt but the spirit OF Burns
will, for one evening, forego the pleasures Of
Paradise to pay court to the ladies Of New
York who assemble to honor his natal day.

Senator Wilson ON the Tenure Of Once Act.
One extreme radical Senator, at least, has
become alarmed at the prompt passage in the
House Of Representatives by an overwhelm-
ing vote Of General Buffers resolution repeal
ing the Tenure Of Office act. Mr. Wilson, of
Massachusetts,, was not willing to wait till
General Buffers House bill reached the SEN
ate before making an effort to squelch it.
He did not want this question to come
up squarely and fairly before the SEN
ate, and, therefore, endeavors to head
it of by introducing bill to amend
the Tenure Of Office act. 1t is unnecessary to
60 into the details Of this proposed amend
ment, for it is simply Jacobin subterfuge to
perpetuate Congressional control over the
Executive, and amounts to q declaration of
want Of confidence in General Grant. There
is no middle course in this matter. Either
repeal the act and place the Executive in the
same position he occupied through the whole
history Of the government up to March, 1867,
or let the radicals openly and honestly say
they will not trust the President elect and
keep the law as it now stands. The question
should not be lodged In the sneaking manner
proposed by Mr.. Wilson. General Grant may
say, those who are not for me in this matter
are against me. Those who may vote for this
proposition must be regarded as against the
new administration and as determined to
govern the country by Congressional oil
garchy.
It is folly to talk Of peace or Of harmony in
the government IL this Jacobin assumption Of
power is to be perpetuated and the President
be made mere automaton in the hands of q
Congressional faction, contrary to the spirit of
the constitution and the former practice of the
government. There would be nothing but dis
cord and inenlciency In the administration, the
laws unexecutcd and worse corruption and
disorganization than we have seen for the last
two years. Who is responsible now for the
stupendous revenue frauds and all the other
evils that have afflicted the country2 The
President says Congress is, and Congress lays
the blame on the President II will be the
same under General Grants administration II
the Tenure Of Offce act be not repealed, for
while that Is In existence there Is no RESPONSE
bility anywhere. We know not whether Mr..
Wilson has moved in the matter to head of
General Buffers bill on his own hook, or Is
the mouthpiece of the Jacobin faction in the
Senate; but II sustained by the Senate his ac-
ton will split the dominant party, be the COM
mencement Of a war upon General Grants
administration, and lead to complications and
changes both in the government and political
parties. This, perhaps, after all, is the OBJ
ject Of the Jacobins, AMI II we may Judge from

THE EASTERN QUEsTIoN-PUBLIo SENTI-
MENr.-It now begins to appear that the Paris
Conference has little, if any, sympathy for
Greece, 80 far at least as the question how
stands between her and Turkey. Greece is to
be taught to behave herself better for the
future and Turkey is to be asked, on such
promise given to withdraw her ultimatum.
Since the time when Greece fought for and
won her independence what a change has
taken place in public sentiment! Then the
world went mad against Turks. Philhellenism
was a universal passion. Now there is none
SO poor as to do Greece reverence. Why it
should be so is proper question for Greeks
to study. In their love for Greece and so
called Christianity Europe and America can
not afford to be unreasonable and unjust.

PUBLIC EDUCATION. quasi organ Of the
people that Is not an organ Of the people, but
only makes believe, as the wolf made believe
he was shepherd, and does it very badly, is
engaged in writing down the public schools
because they teach too much, and in writing
down the Free Academy because It interferes
with some institutions that are not free. Read
ing, writing and arithmetic are very good
things In their way, but 1t is great advantage
to society II boys and girls can be carried
little further in an educational course, and 1t Is
public economy to spend money for the pur-
pose Of so carrying them. The State should
carry them as far as II can get them TO 60, and
let old Columbia and the University take care
Of themselves, as they are well able TO do
Instead Of giving up the free college we have
we are in favor Of having another exclusively
for girls, 80 that the girls who have gone
through the public schools may have the same
chance the boys have.
