The Folly OF Pride.

CATER ALL" says the late Sidney
Smith, 'stake some quiet, sober moment

of pride and of man: behold him crea-

ness. Perched on speck of universe,
every wind of heaven strikes in his
blood the GOODNESS of death-his soul
floats from the body like melody from
the string; day and night as dust on the
wheel, he is rolled along on the heav-
ems, through a labyrinth of worlds, and
all the creations of God are flaming
above and beneath. Is this creature to

SATURDAY, APRIL %, 1871.
LIE NEW Gas LOAN.


Prr1 was introduced in Councils on Thurs
day providing for new loan of $5OO,0OO for
the extension of the Gas Works, the con-
sideration of which was postponed for one
week. The money to be raised by this bill is
intended mainly, we believe, to rebuild the
Gas Works at the Market Street Bridge, which,
after being torn down without due authority
from the city, are now to be built up at the
expense of her taxpayers. Against this pro-
ject a most decided and emphatic project
should be entered In no event should the
Gas Works be rebuilt at that locality. The
cost of forcing gas from that point to the
places which must be reached is materially
greater than that involved in sending supplies
from more appropriate sites for the works; and,
besides, 1t would be the height of folly to
rebuild gas works at a spot which, instead of
being at or near the outskirts of the
city, is practically becoming, by the
course of modern improvements, an impor-
tsnt centre of business and population.
Councils should, therefore, resolutely oppose
any new loan which is to be used, in whole or
in part, to reconstruct the Market street
works. And, while the subject is up for con-
sideTation, they should also make searching
Investigation into the circumstances which
have necessitated this new loan, as we'll as
iLto the general management of the Gas
Works. 1t is high time that the people of
Philadelphia knew something about the way
in which the Gas Trust expend their money.
AS the price of gasis, in view of the facilities
for manufacturing it and the extent of the
districts to be supplied, much higher here
than it ought to be,-and as the gas ring is
popularity deemed, with good reason, to be
immensely profitable to all who are permitted
to enter within its magic circle, the tag
payers of Philadelphia should be infinitely
informed in detail of the outgoings aud in.
comings, the receipts and expenditures, OF all
matters connected with the Gas Trust. AS
Philadelphia must foot all the
bills run up by this concern, and provide, in
some form, the funds out of which its favor
ties contirve to make fortunes, her citizens
should learn, for once at least, where all their
money goes, and have broad blaze of day
light thrown on all gas operations. The sys-
tenn whereby little close corporation rules a
big city, meanwhile taxing heavily all its citi-
zens, should not remain, in this progressive
age, one of the mysteries of Philadelphia.
Sooner or later it must be thoroughly ex-
posed, and as another new loan is now aske
for. this is good time to commence the task

SMITH has taken new turn. In the H ouse
yesterday, during the discussion of the Ap-
portionment bill, this slushy ''Rooster" an
nounced that he was henceforth free man,
and would never again be 'fsold." Smith s
grievance seems to have been the neglect to run
the compromise apportionment through the
caucus before it was pushed through the House.
This neglect deprived him of chance to sell
out to anybody, and, disgusted wish the per-
party trammels and is for sale no longer. The
whole thing probably means that Smith is de-
vising another scheme for undermining the
Delaware river by network of pneumatic
tubes

THE NERAPPoRrloNMENr

THE apportionment question was finally
disposed of in the Legislature yesterday. The
Democrats were enabled by their bare majo-
rity Of one in the Senate to hold out for
some weeks in their demand for an unfair
apportionment, but the deadlock between
the two houses which resulted was so dis.
astrous to the pet schemes of individual
members that q compromise was finally
agreed upon. The bill, as it finally passed
both houses yesterday afternoon, is supposed
to give the Republicans majority of one in
the Senate and six in the House of Representa-
tives. This will bring things to avery fine point,
and render the close districts worth q struggle
for the sake of supremacy. The Legislature
to be elected in 1872 will elect successor to
Simon Cameron in the United States Senate,
and unless Cameron is driven into the back
ground before the expiration of his term, the
Democrats will stand an excellent show for
securing majority on joint ballot.
This will result in the election
of Democrat to the Senate as Cameron's s
successor, unless, indeed, that ineorruptible
and uncorrupting worthy should resort to his
old tricks AT the best, the new apportion-
ment leaves the State in very dubious posi-
tion, and fairly transforms it into battle
field for the two great parties. In view,
however, of the fact that the Demo-
Gratis have control of the Senate at pre-
sent, it is as favorable to the Republicans as
could reasonably be expected. The idea of
making new apportionment without regard
to its political results never, of course, en-
tered the heads of our lawmakers, and the
whole business, therefore, is to be viewed
only in the light of gerrymander.

Not many people are mp to that, but Mr..
Estlin is-and beyond it. The succeeding
clause, in its tumultuous vebemence, almost
takes the breath. To give vent to all the
stormy feelings of the human heart in one
grand outburst THAT is something like.
II Mr.. EstIin really can do such things, and
justice is not quite defeated in the land,
he ought to be able to get out a patent or a
copyright, OF something of that sort, for the
proper protection of these art Improvements.
Yet, for ourselves, we should hardly care to
be present when Mr. Estlin was illustrating
the passions in that manner. Very we'll for
those who like it, but we are afraid we
should not like it, 1t is altogether too tre-
mendous. If the Repository had said two of
the Human Passions, or three, or even as
many as six, it would not have been so bad;
but all of them-and at 0ncef-the thought
is too terrible. Charles Lamb once said
that it would create kind of loathing to see
him play Hamlet, and we do think that, if Mr..
Estlin is the kind of person the Repository
represents him to be, it would hardly be
safe to allow him to take on before promis-
cuous sort of an audience. We cannot help
associating Mr. Estlin with our notion of Mr..
Nicholas Bottom. Bottom could not only
roar you SO loud that it would do any mans
heart good to hear him, but he could also-if
need were-roar you as gently as any sucking
dove. Mr.. Estlin would appear to be sort
of rival of Nick Bottom; bat he must take
care how he gives vent.

"HaVing heard that John S. Estln intends to

to say that we believe this man TO possess the most
wonderful tragic genus in the world. He appears
to be perfect master Of every passion OF the human
soul and can exhibit at will the most gentle feelings
Outburst OF furious passion to ali the stormy feelings
OF the human heart. We speak from our own know
ledge OF the man, having heard him ourselves"
The foregoing startling announcement from
the Medical Repository, whatever that may
be, was published in the Ledger yesterday.
1t appeared in that journal as an adver-
tisement, but for the cause of art we do not
mind giving it free insertion. What we
like about this sort of an opinion is that it is
not possible to mistake the intention of the
writer. So much must be put to his
credit. On the other hand, the praise does
seem just trihe extravagant. To be sure,
the writer speaks from his own knowledge of
the man, having seen him himself, but it is
strange, to say the least, that the most Won
derful tragic genius that the world has ever
seen should have been hidden SO long from
a famishing world. We are bound to say.
however, that the Repository does not make
these revolutionary remarks without some
qualification. 1t will be observed that
the language employed is - she Gp-
pears to be perfect master" etc. We
regard this ss an admission on the part of the
Repository that II is barely possible that it
may be mistaken, although its faith is as yet
