Why DoN'T THE SUBSCRIBERS to the Tweed
statue fund transfer their contributions to the
praiseworthy object of erecting statue Of the
Immortal Jackson in this city? Not only was
the 9th of January this year allowed to pass
without recognition by our democratic fellow
citizens, but the old hero's birthday-the 18th
of March-was scarcely thought Of. No

Religious Forms of Keno.

The arrest of nearly thousand keno GAM
blers on Saturday night forces painfully upon
as the ever-spreading growth of gambling, in
all Its countless forms, among every social
class of our people. As we subside rs
nation into settled state of society, and the
chances of rapidly gaining wealth by Legitimate
Industry become fewer and fewer, the taste
FOR Illicit speculation seems to grow stronger
and stronger. Quasi rich men frantically
gamble in Wall street, in the produce
Exchanges and at the faro table, and tho less
fortunate atoms Of the body polite patronize
with no less eagerness the policy shop, the
lottery Office and the keno saloon. Argument
is scarcely needed to show how baneful to our
best national interests are these feverish hopes
that are born of the thirst of gain by hazard.
There is not solitary sensible man through
out the length and breadth Of the land who
would seriously attempt to defend the princi-
ple of gambling.
The HERALD has already done its best to
repress this noxious vice, and the voice Of
legislation has been equally decided. But the
third grand guardian Of public morals, the
Church, though stanch enough in it's general
declarations of principle, has in this matter
been sadly derelct in action. The pulpit has
fhundered against the faro bank, but church
committees have at the same time, in common
with many worthy charitable societies, made
no scruple Of availing themselves Of the
same unhealthy taste for guilty specula-
tion by setting on foot all sorts Of
pious lotteries. The ministers Of Christ have,
on Sunday displayed in vivid colors the folly
Rnd the criminalty Of getting rich by tempt
tng fortune, and through the rest of the week
bave filled the church Golfers by the gains of
wheels Of fortune in 'building-fund" bazaars.
Such inconsistency must, in future, be sternly
avoided or the Church will be stained with
dreadful crime. No end, however good, can
consecrate unlawful means. And we are glad
TO SEQ that yesterday, at several churches,
sermons were delivered in which the guilty
dishonesty Of gaming, in all its Protean forms,
was denounced in healthily vigorous language.
If the Church viii but heartily come over to
The position already taken by the HERALD and
the law gambling may soon be effectually
checked.

THE AGE OF COMMISSIONS. Ns.-Verily we are
in the midst of the age of commissions. Be-
sides the Public Parks, Public Docks, Public

Dur city is now blessed with, 1t is refresh
ing to know that we are likely to have in
addition thereto Tax Levy Commission
(probably the richest Of the lot), Gas Com

Before taking the latter we suppose il must be
well shaken. At any rate it is pretty evident
that the city is likely to be well dosed with
commissions for some time to come.

chase OF 174 pictures, chiefly OF the Flemish and

the speedy collection OF works more numerous and
valuable than those which usually accumulate in

long, therefore, New York may hope 60
escape the reproacb OF not possessing a
single public gallery OF art worthy OF com-
parison with the galleries OF which not only
every capital, but almost every third class city In
Europe can justly boast. The prospective influence
OF such gallery in circulating sound artistic IDEAS
in purifying and elevaing the pubic taste and In
developing the sentiment OF the beautiful in its ap
plication to modern industry, cannot be over esti-
mated. The officers OF tue projected museum have
wisely decided, without ncglectng pure art and
Illustrations OF its history, to devote early and
special attention to the formation of a complete col
lection Of examples Of Industrial art OF all styles
and eras. Tney have also done wisely In selecting
the South kenslngton Museum MODEL for the

tlon as one Of the chief glories Of our metropolis.
