mated. only lion, an elephant, and two
osrricbes have departed this life during the
mast wear, and they were not healthy when

fractured his leg in the cage wires, to replace

Spare us, good Commissioners, from any more
cheetahs till the Credit Mobilier is boxed, dls-
infected and whitewashed. Ere we forget 1t,
let us note that the survival of the fittest ls
argued in the Report, in respect to trees, not
animals.
But, as we have said, there is more science
about the Park than most people suppose.
The Director of the Meteorological Observatory
contributes very valuable chapters to the he
port. Even to those most familiar with such
things, meteorological tables, albeit of the wet
test periods, are apt to be frightfully dry.
Yet this portion of the Report proves interest
ing. Statistical evidence is supplemented by
historical citations, and two great questions
are settled it seems to us, determlnately.
The results announced will utterly destroy the
conversational stock in trade of many OF our
most venerated citizens. Hereafter their
weather wisdom will lack its accustomed
basis They can never again tell us how differ

been exposed to hardships such as would have
broken down our degenerate constitutions.
"Taking the average for periods of several
"years, the rainfall and the mean tempera-
" ture of the Winter months do not appear TO
"have appreciably changed within century,"
The collections of the Museum Of Natural
History in the Park, are not only exceedingly
curious and valuable in themselves, but I'M
nrensely serviceable in poDularizng scientific
researches, since they are open to the lnspec-
ton of the public most of the week, though
reserved for students on Mondays and Tues
DAYS. Perhaps the public don't know how
much they are really favored, though as they
visit the Museum at the rate, sometimes, OF
10000 day, they may be presumed to like 1t.
1t is but recently that the collectors OF really
scientific curiosities have exhibited thus Not
many years ago such things as, for instance,
the extinct aux, presented by Mr.. Robert
l.. Stuart, would no more have been
shown to any but intimate friends, than would
the Pyramids have been thrown open by
Egyptian priests to the pitch-mlxers.
Throughout the entire report of the Commits
sioners there is not only kept in view the glo-
rious fact that our Park is the property of
and to be used by the common people; but
also there is the evidence that the poor stu
dent and the family of the laboring man en-
JOY and appreciate the lessons 1t conveys Of
the worth of science, the beauty of art, and
the peaceful calm of nature.

THE SIABLE-DOOR.

Now that it is clearly ascertained that Con-
eressmen have become debauched, and that
virtue has gone out of Congress, there is gen.
eral inquiry as to the cause of the detection.
One of our cOtemporaries, for example, afflicted
with a sort Of economic strabismus, and con-
vinced that love of high tariff is the root of
all evil, is sure that Congressman are demoral-
lied by voting to protect home industries; if
we had free trade, the temptation would be
removed; this is not so much locking the
stable-door after the steed is stolen; it is
locking the wrong stable-dOOr Another
thinks that Congressman are underpaid, and
should have larger salaries, that they may
no longer be obliged to use the last part of
the prayer of Agur--"lest be poor and steal"
This is though one should increase the wages
of his salesman TO keep him from pilfering at
the till; and this is the wrong stable-dOor
again. No one who thinks we'll of the Con-
gress of the Republic would be willing to
believe that Congressman are made venial by
voting to foster industries in which they in
common with every citizen of the Republic,
may have an indirect interest. No man who
must be hired to be honest is worthy a seat
in Congress.
Money, of course, is the radical difficulty.
The love of money debauched the Congress-
men whose names have broken up in a wreck
with the Credit MObilier Investigation. Con-
New-York tribune., 1873-02-05

gressmen are human (yery much 30, let us
say), and they share in the general weakness
for costly living and SNOWY equipage. They
grumble that they should have 10 give up
their lucrative callings and trades Tor the not
extravagantly large pay OF Congress
man. They cannot abide the trial Oh NoV-
ing on measures which make MILLIONS ioi
canitalists in trade and do not leave penny
in their own fingers. They think IL a
hard case that mon all about them
sbouId be making money, while they are
,rrrod off with $1,000 a year and mileage; 30
tbey think of voting themselves an additional
80 900; and they turn an honest penny oh
the outside" when opportunity o1ers Ills
is the door through which the virtue OF tno
average Congressman has been taken. by
and by. men will be candidates for C0n-
oresS for the sake of the opportunity 1or
money-making which seat in the Capltoi
will assure them. Some censonous people
COW this il already true; we hope not. 1t is
no use to preach economy and temperance Ill
living to the people, even though the popular
example has infected Congress. But the men
who are in Congress, or who expect 10 go
there, must return to the old, simple Re-
publican idea OF their station IN Vhe
better days of the Republic, the honor of
serving ones country in the halls of Congress
was thought sufficient incentive for a generous
strife in the election, as well as an exceeding
great reward to the Congressman. Cannot we
get back to that old-fashioned idea of public
lfeY If we cannot, the better part of public
virtue is gone out of us. Senators and Repre-
sentatives are paid, not as manufacturing ex-
perts or famed manpulators of stocks, but as
men with reasonable wants and requirements.
If they have not fortitudc enough to keep at
their patriotic public duty while other men
roll up wealth, they are not fit for the places
which they mcumber. That is the whole
story. When Congressman and others who
fill positions of public trust and honor learn
this, we shall have no more Credit MObiler
scandals

for that purpose to the Japanese Government;
or it might be 40 used by the State Depart
ment. We do not want college for japanese
and American youth in California, or any
where else in the United States. The Chinese
and Japanese are well satisfied with the course
of study which they find in our country we
need educational institutions at Picking ana
Yedo for the benefit of the youth OF both
races but especially are these schools needed
for our own people in those countries. Ihe
establishment of such colleges would not only
dispose handsomely of the indemnities, but
would be highly useful TO the great nations
interested in them, and would pleasantly facil-
tate our intercourse through all coming time.

OF course of readers will forget that II is
tonight Mr. Mark Twain gives for the first time, in
Steinway Hail. that new lecture upon the Sandwich
Islands, which is expected TO exhaust the sum of
the learning, the sentiment and the science at pres
ent existing in the world in regard to that interest
ing subject. Many people have visited that fasci-
mating archipelago, but none took the prec&aton of
carrying with them the eyes Of Mr.. Clemens. The
consequence is that those who go to Steinway Hall
tonight will get entirely views of Kanaka civ
ilization, even though they may have resided at
Honolulu from their youth up. 1t must never be
forgotten that Mr.. Clemens is not only great hui
morist, but great observer and q deep phosophi-
cal thinker. The that his letters to THE TRIB-
UNE unquestiOnably put Prince Bill upon the throne,
establishes his claim to the title of the Bacic War
wick, and he is, so far we remember the first
Warwick who ever expoundod his theories of gov
ernment for 70 cents q ticket one dollar for re.
served seats.

SCIENCE And CENTRAL PARK.

A usual notion of our Parks is that they are
meant to give us country in the midst of city.
We add to this perhaps, the idea of sculpture
and a little architecture. But it seems that
we shall be greatly mistaken if we associate
our Parks only with developments Of nature
and art. Expecting merely to find Croton, we
may discover in Central Park fountain of
science. At least such is our impression after
reading the Second Annual Report of the
Commissioners Of Public Parks. Turning over
some of its elaborate pages, where the effect
of Winters storm is detailed, we find our
selves invegled into an argument about the
destruction of races and the survival of
the fittest The only path we should
have expected to see toward such conclu-
sions, would be in the biography of the few
survivors among the unhappy animals pre-
sented to the Commissioners in former years.
Something, too, might be founded on the
lost We might anticipate q memoir of the
experience of that big turtle, now deceased,
who, if resident anywhere but in the Park,
would have been rated in table of the ex-
pectaton of life as good for q century; of
that departed pelican, who, if left on Lake
Ponchartrain, would have been exchanging
with alligators, distending her
guet with raw fish, and tearing out her
breast feathers for her progeny yet many a
year ; of that bullet-pierced bear, who was
cut off in the oleaginous flower of.

BY boiler explosion at ConshohOcken, Penn,
the other day, seven persons were killed and
seventeen wounded. 1t is now said, by way of
explanation, that the boiler had been in use
seventeen years, and was red hot when the
water was pumped into it. Yet, there are
people, probably, who say that these seven
men came to their death "by visitation of God.'

way. Why should tho State Of New-Jersey.
or any other State, undertake to limit the con-
struction of railroads any more than the
organization of manufacturing companies
We hope the time is soon coming, if indeed
it has not already come, when no party can
stand up in NewJerseY against the growing
demand OF the people for the relaxation Of
the railroad monopoly.
New-York tribune., 1873-02-05

The golfers of South Wales. who orougnt
some discredit on their cause by striking work
without first exhausting all means of conciila-
ton, are likely to be reprOached with an out
rageous offense A telegram published thls
morning announces that some OF the strikers
have threatened with assassination the pro-
prietors who purposed employing Chinese Ia
borers. 1t is possible that these menaces
originated with individual strikers. The severe
discipline, however, which the societies exer-
else over the men, renders it extremely proba-
bic that no such threats would have been
employed except at the instigation OF officers
of the societies. This incident is strong evil
dence of the demOralizing effect of strikes on
the laborers, and it will be fortunate when
disputes between employers and employees can
be satisfactorily arranged without resort to
this expedient.

Congressman 0. j. Dickey and Clerk Ed
ward Mcpherson are pretty good authority III
matters pertaining to the estate and financial
doings of the late Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens
Both of these gentlemen were intimate friends
of Mr.. Stevens, were executors of his Will,
and Mr.. Dickey was partner of the great
Pennsylvania. Both denounce Mr.. John D.,
Alleys statement that Mr.. Stevens received
a large sum from the Union Pacific people az
false and an outrage on the memory OF their
friend. Mr.. Alley gave DR.. Durant as his au-
thority for the tale; DR.. Durant says ne never
heard Of it before, and never told hr' Aiiey
such story. The statement seemed u''eily
incredible to those who knew Mr.. stevens;
he can no longer defend himself; but IL Is
fortunate that he has left behind him record
which can be abundantly vindicated'

So we are to have another Credit MObiier

copy of that portion of the testimony which

There is some significance in the action of
Senator Patterson, one of the worst wounded
Senators. in moving for this Committee Mr..
Colfax, of course, will retain his case in the
House Committee.
New-York tribune., 1873-02-05

The unexpected verdict of the coroner's jury
in the case of Simmons the slayer Of Duryea,
almost amounts to one of justitiable homicide.
This conclusion, taken with the result in the
Tweed case, and other recent disaDpointments,
will 90 far toward breaking down popular con-
fidence in the infallibility of juries. The old
Anglo-Saxon idea of jury trial has received
many hard shocks lately; and this is one of
them.
