The ''new departure" continues to agitate
a considerable portion of the Democratic
party. By some it is bitterly condemned, by
others frankly accepted, and by others &C.
quiesced in with mental reservations. MANY
the cooler and wiser heads of the party are dis
posed to regard it as a necessary submission to
the inevitable; and they contend that if Anne
rican politics is to have real significance.
and to logically represent current movements,
the Democracy must cease prating of dead
issues, and address their energies exclusively
to living questions.

THE BOOK CONCERN SCANDAL.

IHH BOOh CONCERN SCANDAL.
The Methodist Church is one of the largest
and most influential religious organizations
in the country. 1t is essentially popular
Church, but it contains probably as much
culture and intelligence as any other, while
its bishops, clergy, and leading laymen have
always been noted for purity of character no
less than zeal for the promotion of the cause
of religion. In the interests of morality and
for the good of society at large, to
say nothing of religion, it is of
the utmost Importance that the good name of
this Church should not be impugned, and ii
would appear to an outside observer that
every Methodist, from the senior bishop down
to the humblest layman, would feel the neces-
sity for putting an end to the Book Concern
scandal at as early day as possible, by de-
manding thorough exposition of its affairs
Thus far all that has been done by the Church
authorities has only served to confirm
the impression of the public that the
business of the concern has not only
been grossly mismanaged, but that
its profits, which should have been devoted to
the support of aged and infirm ministers,
have instead been put in the pockets of those
intrusted with the responsibility of managing
the business affairs of the great publishing
house. Several committees, after pretended
examinations, have made whitewashing reports
with which nobody has been satisfied; and,
instead of the alleged offenders being made
to give an account of their transactions, the
accuser, DIR. Lanahan, has actually been
prosecuted for having dared to speak what he
believed to be the truth. This style
of sitting a scandal will not go
down with the public, and the
persecution that has followed DR.. Lanahan
ever since he exposed the corrupt manage
ment of the concern only serves to impress
outsiders more and more strongly with the
idea that his accusations were Just. If alleged
criminals are permitted to prosecute their
accusers for defamation of character before
being called upon to prove their own inno-
cence, sl law might as we'll be abolished.
Although ecclesiastical courts are not as other
courts, and although ecclesiastical law is
generally remarkable for being everything it
should not be, it is certainly novelty even
among ecclesiasties to find the man who
claims to have discovered a crime, and
to be able to prove it if an opportunity is
afforded, himself placed in the criminal dock
on the charge that this disclosure is scandal
against the Church. 1t the leaders of
Methodism have any respect for themselves,
any regard for their Church, or for the cause
of religion, or if they value the goodwill of
honest men, they will unite in demanding that
the persecution of DIR. Lanahan shall cease,
and that he shall be afforded all the oppor-
tunities he can desire to make good his accu-
satiens When he fails to do this it will be
time enough to prosecute him for SANDER,
but as the matter now stands he certainly has
the sympatbies of the public at large, while
his prosecutors already stand convicted in
public opinion of the offenses charged against
them.

which viii give enjoyment to msay
succeeding generations. Many persons
who are unable to make large donations for
such an object, but who would willingly give
something, have not hitherto been afforded an
opportunity to do so, and such ON association
as has been organized will not only secure the
large contributions of the wealthy, but also
the small sums which those whose aesthetic
tastes are more extensive than their bank ac-
counts will gladly give for the purpose of
identifying the park. II the people at large
become interested in the matter, as they
surely will if the association
acts with the proper energy, the
small contributions will amount to great
deal in the aggregate, and it will be possible
within very short time to have some highly
meritorious pieces of statuary as additional
attractions to the natural beauties of some of
the choicest localities of the park. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that the association will
endeavor as far as possible to procure the
illustration of American sub jects by Ameri-
can artists. In the Central Park of New York
there are bronze statues and busts of Shake
speare, Schiller, Humboldt, and other
foreign worthless, and others are in
preparation, while the Morse statue erected a
few days ago is the first that has been put up
in honor of an American In this city Schil-
Ter, Humboldt, Shakespeare, Scott, and other
memorials are talked of, and we hope that
they will be erected; but it will look little
odd, to say the least, if our magnificent pub
lie pleasuIe-grounds are ornamented only
with the bronze effigies of distinguished
foreigners. We doubt not, however, that the
Park Art Association will perform its duties
in an eminently satisfactory manner in this
respect, and we hope that it will receive the
cordial support of all classes of our citizens,
and that all who feel an interest in the adorn-
ment of the park will aid the good work to
the extent of their means.

THE GAS LOAN.

IT is very probable that an effort will be made
this afternoon to induce Select Council to
consider and pass the ordinance for the crea-
ton of loan of $500, 900 for the erection of
new gas works in place of those destroyed in
such an unauthorized manner by the Gas
Trustees, and we hope that the opponents
of the measure will not only exert themselves
to prevent this burden from being
imposed upon the taxpayers, but
that they will carry the war into Africa by
taking steps to test the right of the trustees
TO act as they have done, and if they have ex-
ceeded their legal authority to bring them to
account for it. We believe that an opportu-
nifty is now offered for striking blow that
will, in a measure at least, rid this city of the
despotism of the gas ring and give us a better
management of the affairs of the gas works
than there has ever been yet. Whether any
active measures are adopted against
the trustees or not, however, the members
of Select Council will perform an essential

ohantss and few British manufacturers, while
their enforcement would doom millions of
Englishmen to pauperism and millions of
Americans to poverty. Now that the census
discloses more clearly than ever before the
disparity between the populations of England
and the United States, considerations Of pride
as well as interest should prompt our citizens
to reject all propositions designed to remand
forty millions of people back to industrial
vassalage to twenty millions of people on the
other side of the Atlantic.

THE POPULATION OF ENGLAND
AND WALES.

The population of England and Wales, as
ascertained by the late census, is officially
stated at %, 100000, SO that England to-day
scarcely contains more than half as large
population as the United States. The policy
of this tight little island has hitherto enabled
her to not only exercise supreme control over
Scotland and Ireland, and over vast posses
sions in the East Indies, North America, and
other parts of the world, but to hold. in a
species of industrial thraldom, manv
highly civilized and otherwise Independent
nations, our own country being included in
the latter category. England has ruined
every nation which she has thus thoroughly
ruled in an industrial sense; and such would
be the inevitable fate of this Union if British
free-trade fallacies were fully accepted by an
American Congress and the American people.
Yet an influential party in our midst is
laboring actively to promote such an
end, mainly for the advantage of a
few thousands of our own citizens, and
of a few thousand of the leading manufactu-
rers and capitalists included in the popula-
tion of England and Wales; but it seems in
credible that any considerable body of Ameri
can voters can be deluded into the support of
the dangerous and destructive British free
trade dOgmas. They were framed exclusively
in the interest of, and are only adapted to
promote the welfare of, a few cotton
and tobacco planters, few shipping mer-

CASE was tried in the United States Cir
cult Court at Washington yesterday, in
which suit was brought by r. o. Ruffin, a
colored man, to recover from Richard S.
Aver, an ex-member of Congress from the
First district of Virginia, money for cleo
tioneering services rendered when Aver was
candidate for reelection to Congress. The
sum claimed was 1878, and the amount
awarded by the jury was $215. The suit
is novel, but as outstanding bills
of the character indicated seem to be COL
lectable by the law, lively time may be an
ticipated when our bummers, runners,
strikers, FOUNDERS and speakers ask the al
dermen and courts in this region to compel
our politicians to square up accounts In
anticipation of the good time coming tariff
of charges should be established at the ear
liest possible moment, so that the distinct
acts of perjury. intoxication, violence, row.
dyism and intrigue, and all other species of
rascality performed in the service of candi-
dates, could be readily ascertained by disin-
terested juries.

THE PARK ART ASSOCIATION.


The Fairmount Park Art Association, the
prospectus of which was published few days
ago, has been organized by the election of A.
j. Drexel, Esq, as President H. Corbit
Ogden, Esq, as Vice-President James l..
Claghorn, Esq, as Treasurer; and John Bel
langee Cox as Secretary; and of Board of
Directors composed of some of our most en-
terprising and pubhc-spirited citizens. The
object of the association is to adorn the park
with statuary and other works of art, and to
accomplish this subscriptions will be solicited
from all classes of our citizens. Every man,
woman, and child in Philadelphia has an
interest in the park and in making it as
attractive as possible in every way, and there
are few SO poor that they cannot give some-
thing towards filling our splendid pleasure

SUMNER RESORTS-FRE hotels.
The summer hegira is fairly commencing
and thousands of our citizens are on the
point of starting in various directions for the
beautiful resorts by the seaside, on mountain
tops, or in sequestered wales, which WOO the
seekers for relaxation, health. and pleasure
The routes of travel opened and the attrac-
tions presented are so varied that
all tastes can readily be graft
fed. The chief obstacle to a nearly
universal enjoyment of rural pleasures by
jaded or overworked denizens of crowded
cities is to be found in the extortionate
charges imposed by large proportion of the
commodious hotels, in various quarters, for
scanty and imperfect fare. 1t has passed into
proverb that few men know how to keep
hotel, and if this art implies the bona fde
supply to guests of such accommodations
as they have right to expect,
for reasonable sum of money, it must be
confsseed that frst-class hoteLksepers are
exceedingly scarce. 1t is easy enough to
find spectators who attempt to make for
tune in few seasons by overcrowding popu-
lar places of resort, and charging enormous
prices for inficting host of discomforts upon
victimized public and so many people
have submitted to these exactions
heretofore that the genial, genuine, and con-
scientious hotel-keeper who renders a fair
equivalent for every item in his bill is
rapidly becoming, in popular apprehension,
mere relic Of better era The travelling
public, however, cannot afford to dispense
with him. 1t is getting heartily sick and
tired OF the race Of pretenders and extor-
tioners whe won't, don't, and can't keep
hotel as it ought to be kept and one of the
duties of the day is to force, drive, or starve
the fellows who, cannibal-like, feed upon
instead of feeding their guests, into obscu-
rity, so that new race of genuine hotel
keepers may once more be called to the front.
