MANHOOD FITNESS.

Having invited questions from badly in
formed but willing Democrats, an orphan
of one weeks standing asks us what
manhood fitness is? Come up here you
little newly fedged acolyte and receive
the lesson of the day, for if Hatch has cast
you off, We are not disposed to give you up
vet. The Democrat is small, but it is
willing to be taught and as there may be
others not fully posted on this subject,
our instructive thesis may be of general
use.
Manhood fitness" is this, that in the
mystery of the law certain requirements
are stipulated for voters. Men must be OF
certain age; they must be naturalized
or native born; they must be of sane
mind; they must be enfranchised. This
is all Now any man who can fill this
bill is voter, and>is fitted by manhood
for that position. The law being blind
can not see his color, but it applies its
tests, and if he comes up to the measure

man, capable of enjoyment, liable
to suffer, subject to taxation, amen
able to punishment, worthy Of
reward. This is manhood fitness" for
citizenship. The man may not be rich
nor poor; he may not be worthy associ-
ate for the good and virtuous but still he
is a man, and be is fitted by law, and by
his own nature to be all that the best citi-
zen is. The State accepts him il his
situation, to do the best he can for him.
self, giving him the same opportunities
that it offers to others. The law can not
make him provident nor wise, nor can it
| make him fool OF a spendthrift. All it
can do is to say that its favor is the same
to him, in his way, as it is to better
man. IN his way. And to appreciate this
Deter, it is only fair to say that in this
country society is the State. Men, with

accept from great enemy. And then
Prussia and France will appreciate and
honor each other, and good friendship
will result, to the great benefit Of Eu-
rome, -

Mayor Hall, of New York, proposes
that Commodore Farragut shall be disin-
TERED and rebllried in that city with a
grand funeral, at the expense of the city.
He hopes to make some political capital
out of this cheap display of patriotism !;
and, perhaps, big corporation spree
would put some money in the pockets Of
his friends. Fernando Wood would look
well as pall-bearer for the grand old
patriot who was fighting for the nation
while he was cogitating how Manhattan
could be erected into a republic. New
York owes a great debt 20 Farragut, but
she can pay it much more honorably by
taking pattern after his patriotism and
honesty, than by spreading her street
contractors and political bummers in q
wild confusion behind his coffin. His
greatness is the property of the people,
and his memory is the treasure of the re-
public Nothing that corporation can
do will ever add an inch to his statue or
grave note on the record he left to his
country.

PEACE AND AMITY,

1t is stupidity repeated from corner to
corner that Prussia should cease to make
war on France now that Bonaparte is no
longer Emperor. King William could do
no such thing if he had ever so much
disposition, for before any war can termi-
nate the terms of peace must be arranged.
Just as well declare that France ought to
lay down her arms because she has lost
the Emperor who put the soldiers in the
field. The contest is not between
William and Bonaparte, but between
Prussia and France, and if the Prus-
sian King should die tomorrow the
war would go on until the sentiment that
actuates the two people is sat
i$fed to meet On a basis satisfactory
to the victor. 1t has been foreseen for
years that France and Prussia would clash
spme. day. The people felt it, and de-
handed the issue. If the truth was
Known it is just possible that Bonaparte
engaged in the struggle reluctantly, for he
just what he has lost All his individual
interests were opposed to the hazard; but
he was possibly driven into the war by the
emotions which actuated the French peo-
pie.
The Prussian government understands
that the sentiment of France was hostile
70 her growth and progress, and Bismarck
fully realizes that in order to make the
empire of Germany secure he must teach
its enemies lesson as to its strength. He
has schooled Austria into an acceptance
of the growth of Prussia. and he is now
engaged in doing the same thing for
France He had nothing to fear or to
hope from Napoleon. but his great enemy
was France, and when he has taught the
French that.they must let Germany alone,
the public mind of both countries will be
in fit condition to make peace that will
be respected. There is nothing like a
good stand-up fight to make men respect
each other; and since the French gained
the advantage in 1910 by whipping
Prussia, the score will be wiped GU,
in 1870, and then the belligerents can
shake hands and say that since they
are even they can afford to be friends.
And for this reason the Prussians are every
where instructed to respect private pro
perty and treat the people respectfully, SO
that when they leave they will take away
with them no private maledictions. The
principle not to do any act which viii
prevent them from being friends hereafter
with the French, seems to be the rule o.
Prussian conduct; and it is the best eyi.
dence that when peace is made it win. be
such one that France will. consider lib
eral, just, and worthy Of great people to

A youthful correspondent recently in
quired of the New York Tribune if the
United States Marshal was not sighting
his duties in making up the census; and
wound up his question by demanding an
answer, if Greeley had any reason yet left
in him. He is probably satisfied to-day
that the white-hat.ed philosopher has got
some reason left il him, and that it is of
a sort that is not agreeable to be provoked
by thin-skinnea people. The Tribune
estimates that the city of New York,
proper, will show population about twice
as great as that of Brooklyn which is set
down at between 400 600 and 10000

There are thirteen public squares through
out the city of New Orleans, but Of this
number two are of little or no moment. For
instance, st. Anthony's square, the plot of
ground on Royal street, facing Orleans
street, in the rear of the St. Louis Cathe-
dral, generally, but enormously, supposed
to be the property Of the church; and the
unenclosed piece of ground in the rear Of
Sorapuru Market.
All of these squares are well inclosed with
iron fencing except two, Macarty square,
which has a wooden fence in no very good
condition, and st. Bernard circle, which is
fenced By iron posts with chains hanging
between, like The former fencing of the
neutral ground ON Canal street, before
the days of street railroads.
Macarty square is about two miles below
Esplanade street. being portion of the old
Macarty plantation. st. Bernard circle is
at the intersection of Claiborne street and
st. Bernard avenue. The largest of the
squares set apart for public health and
recreation is known as Coliseum place.
This comprises an area about equal to five
squares, and is divided into several portions
by streets running through it.
All these squares are in good condition,
and practicable as places of public resort,
except one of the finest and most eligiby
situated among them, Annunciation square,
bounded by Race, Orange. Chippewa and
Annune iation streets. A comprehensive
plan for the improvement of this square
was made during the incumbency of the
late City Council, and had been to some ex-
tent carried out. But before its completion
the work was stopped, and as it remains
it is practically of little use for public pur-
poses The principal improvement required
to make this square available as a public
resort, is the Smelling of the walks. Tn
doubtedly. since the incoming of the preseat
city administration, the immense labor re-
quired to make the crooked paths straight
in far more important matters. has pre-
vented the Department of Improvements
from attending to this among hundred
minor matters. There is no doubt that, rs
the membranes on the city finances be-
come lighter, proper attention will be
given to works of ornamentatiOn as we'll rs
of solid utility.

At recent church meeting in Georgia, a
woman, under the influence Of religious ex-
acitement, commenced shouting, and so in
tense was her enthusiasm that she did not
cease her gyrations until overcome by VIC
lent exertion, intense heat, and the fetid
atmosphere of close room. In this con-
ditions of utter prostration of mind and
body, she was borne out of the house; but
her vital energies could not be resuscitated,
and she was soon a corpse. A young man,

QUITs.-The New York World
tells the following of Madame Po-
tesdad, a noted horse-woman and
belle of the National Capital:
Ou one occasion, it is saiG, when
staying at the Warm Springs, in
Virginia, she started out with a
riding party for the Warm Spring
Mountain, and dared the gentle
man accompanying her to do what
she did. This mountain is quite
high, and has as its summit rock
juttiDg out over precipice. To
the extreme verge of this rock
Miss Potesdad rode, to the great
CONSERVATION OF her friends. She
didn't even leave her horse room
to turn round, but, having accom-
plished her purpose, she backed
him from the dangerous position
and faced the rest of the party in
triumph. Not a man would fol-
low her example, but one youth
full piece of inexperience stood on
his head in his saddle and dared
the lady to do that. Of course
she cried "quits."
