THE CLOSE or THE JEROME PARK RACES
The closing day of the racing season at
Jerome Park was certainly the most brilliant
that has been witnessed since its opening, in
September, 1866. The ground was in splendid
condition, the weather all that could be desired
and the racing first class. The fashionable
attendance from all parts fully showed that
such sport is appreciated, and from the gen
eral interest evinccd in the sport itself it may
be expected that soon we shall be equal to any
country on that score. The position of
Jerome Park is doubtless exceptional, and
the beauty of its surroundings can with difi-
Guilty be surpassed anywhere. As yet, how
ever, in this country racing may be considered
to be still in its infancy, but under The able
management displayed throughout in the
arrangements at Jerome Park we may soon
aspire to Derby equal to that of Epson fame.
The projected facilities of uptown travel will
offer inducements for the still greater popu-
larity Of Jerome Park, and should they be
eflectually carried out we may look forward
to still more prosperous career for this
spirited enterprise

The New Revolutionary Tactics-victor
HuGO's Letter.


The age of barricades is gone Napoleon
and Baron Haussmann have made the old Paris
revolutionary system impossible. The quar-
tiers, so well known in times gone by and on
many occasions so useful to the dsaffected,
have been disturbed by that horrible or blissfil
thing which we call progress. Paris in SEN
tence, is at the mercy of grapeshot, and the
grapeshot is under the control at present of q
vigorous will and an active brain. Victcr
Hugo, in his letter, which is now going the
round Of the newspapers, admits and confesses
that barricades and demonstrations are not
suited to the present times, so far, at least, as
France, or rather Paris, Is concerned. 1t was
his hope that the people of Paris might initiate
the example of the people of Dublin and the
people Of London-make a peaceful, unarmed
demonstration and then quietly 80 home. But
as the Left held aloof the people must hold
aloof too. A popular demonstration would
have created government necessity and the
Chassepot would have been used. Victor
Hugo, although he does not say it, evidently
means that revolution must now be effected by
public opinion, not by barricades In this he
is right. When he recommends revolution he
will, he says, be there. But he is not the man
to recommend revolution so long as Louis
Napoleon occupies the French throne.

We regret that General Barlow has left the
Marshal's Office, for by the very fact Of his
resignation he establishes his fitness for the
place. He rclinquishes the position because
it is insufficiently remunerative. Now it is
abundantly remunerative to some kinds of men,
but they are not the kind we should desire to
see in the Marshals Office. Plenty of men can
make their fortunes there; and precisely
because General Barlow can only make six
thousand dollars per annum there, because he
cannot consent to make more by the irregular
and corrupt practices through which alone
more is to be made, be is the man who
would honor the position. Can the crowd
of men Who scramble for Office get a
hint by this resignation? 1t is fact,
to which this resignation merely calls
present attention, that ninety per cent Of the
offices are, if man will be hon st in them,
less remunerative than any good business pur
sued with ordinary ability; and the office
seeker, by his eagerness for place, only
announces to the world either his unfitness for
any useful occupation or his desire for wealth,
even though dishonesty gotten.

MODEL PoIoEMAw-Th shooting OF
policeman in lager beer cellar in the
Bowery lets out a story that but for the
shooting would never have been told, and
the public would like very well to know
whether this policeman's idea of his duty is at
all a prevalent one in the force. He Joined
with certain persons drinking in that cellar at
an hour when, according to law, no liquor
should have been served, and he made no
reference to violation Of the law until the
keeper of the place demanded pay for the beer;
then this valiant upholder of the law turned on
the publican with regard to his defence, and ia
the ensuing dispute or sculle was shot. Here
is policeman going into drinking shop appa-
rently determined 10 profit by the delinquency
Of the dealer, and Immunity for all violation of
the law may be purchased at the cheap rate Of

| which will give them the balance of power for
| the next Presidency.
The democrats, however, understand this
and are lacking to the windward with their
whole squadron, and the republicans are also
hedging. Leaving, then, the workingmen's
unions out of the estimate, what are the issues
upon which this election will be determined
They are, first, negro suffrage, as embodied
in the new State constitution and in the
fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution
secondly, the national administration and its
policy on the money question; thirdly, the
liquor question, which is the main issue; and
lastly, the State Legislature, which involves
the contingency of a reconstruction of the
whole government machinery of this island,
including all the commissions acting inde-
pendently of the Mayor and the Common
Council.
On negro suffrage, General Grant and the
national debt the results in Pennsylvania and
Ohio show that, substantially, the republicans
win hold their ground of last November. In
this city and throughout the State the federal
patronage turned over to the republican party
win be something gained in the machinery Of
electioneerng. Last year, under Johnson, it
was all for Seymour But the weak point
with the republicans is the liquor question,
and in the ticket embracing Sigel and Greeley
we find this weak point in the compromise
adopted between prohibition and lager beer.
Greeley goes for Sigel and prohibition; Sigel
goes for Greeley and lager beer. The ultra
temperance people turn up their dainty noses
at Sigel and say we can't vote this ticket OF
free lager and this platform of German Sunday
carousals in their beer gardens, while the
free-liquor republicans say we can't swallow
Greeley and his temperance crotchets. Great
tribulation ia betrayed by Greeley over the
fuss made against this innocent experiment Of
mixing little lager with his Croton; and well
may he be excited, for the temperance fanatics
give signs of general bolt.
We are, therefore, inclined to the conclusion
that, in view OF this republican difficulty touch
ing Sigel and Greeley on the lager beer ques-
ton, the prospect for next Tuesdays election
is still decidedly in favor of the democracy.
They have the liquor dealers, en- masss, on
their side, and they are not troubled with these
temperance Puritans.

Tho Democratic Ratification Meeting.

The Democratic Ratification Meeting.
The democracy of our city turned ont last
evening in most imposing array, and in mass
meeting assembled at the Wigwam in Four

party on the State and county tickets. Nothing
was left undone to make the occasion impos-
ing in every respect, and the most hope
full anticipations of the leaders as to
the result must have been thoroughly
thousand persons formed in procession.
In the Wigwam, the great rallying point, the
magnates of the party held big pow-wow.
OF course the high qualifications of the several
candidates were the theme of fervid eulogy and
praise 1t was but natural that snch orators
as Grand Sachem Tweed, Mayor Hall and S.
S. Cox should be present on the platform;
but it was not altogether en- rapport to
see Mr.. Fernando Wood afiliatiny with his
late Tammany opponents and victors. The
speeches were of character that the least
said about them the better. OF course the
Tammany democracy was lauded to the skies,
the glory it achieved in the past glorificd and
the great career before it in the coming Presi-
dental campaign of 1872 the subject Of high
promise and great anticipation. General
Grant and the administration came in for a full
share of wordy obloquy from Wood and Cox,
the latter speaking for over an hour. The
speeches were kept up to almost twelve
o'clock, when the meeting adjourned and the
great democratic ratification Of the campaign

New York City Newspnpers.

The table of gross receipts from the sale OF
newspapers in this city during the rast twelve
months which we published yesterday speaks
wonders for The influence of metropolitan jour
nasm. That table shows that an aggregate
Of six million dollars worth Of city news
papers were sold in that time. 1t must be
observed that in this sum the receipts from
advertising are not included, with one excep
ton, perhaps-the second on the lis.-but
simply the money received for the sale of
papers alone. This fact will give some idea Of
how much the whole country is indebted to the
New York press for news, for thoughts, for
ideas, aad for opinions upon all public ques-
tion5. Indeed, the enterprise of the metro
polltan newspapers is the source from which
the press OF the entire country draws its
vitality. Thus, apart from the news directly
furnished to its outside readers by the metro
poltan press, the public are indebted to it for
vast amount Of indirect intelligence. 1t
could not be very readily calculated with accu-
racy how many sheets issued from the differ
ent presses this six million dollars covers in
the year. because it Is difficult to strike an
average of the price of each paper-some Of
the dailies selling for one and two cents, some
for four cents, and many of the weekiies for
number must amount to about two hundred
million copies year. One can hardly realize
the effect of this printed propagandism. But
after all it is but in keeping with the advance
spirit of the age. Newspapers are now almost
as much necessity to the community as rail-
roads, tcle ,raphs, Croton water, gas and all
the other appliances by which the world main
tains its claim to an advancing civilization. In
fact, the newspaper stands y the foremost
rank Of modern Improvements.
In the table referred to the HERALD is, of
course first 1t is there stated that the
HERALD receipts for the sale of its issue alone
for the past year were $SlO,327. The adver-
tising income is, of course, not included. The
returns for the quarter ending September 80
show an increase over those of the quarter
ending June 80 in the sales of this journal,
while there has been decrease in the sale of
all the leading dailies, and nearly all the week.
lies, for the same period. There is nothing
remarkable in this; for all the world knows
that the HERALD keeps ahead OF all its contem-
poraries in circulation as well as in liberal en-
tcrprise. This little array of figures furnished
by the Internal Revenue Assessors Depart
ment, shadows forth with remarkable distinct
ness and suggestive thought the vast influence
which the New York city papers must exercise
upon society throughout the entire country
