With an excellent change in the presidency
of the Park Commission we may naturally
anticipate more creditable activity on the
part of that body, There is every prospect
that, under capable and honest management,
such as Colonel Stebbins' supervision will
secure and enforce, new life will be given to
the progress of those real and necessary I'M
provements which public opinion has called
for, and that some very high shelves VIII De
found on which to stow away great many
projects that seem to involve merely large ex-
penditure for the benefit of the pro-
public. New museums to put fortunes IN the
pockets OF architects and similar jobbers gen.
orally are not the most imperative want just
now neither will the public suffer IN their
pleasures if there be no enormous outlay made
for the tunnelling of streets and the contriv-
ing of subterraneous passages for people who
go out to take the air. All schemes which
involve the expenditure of the public money
in jobbery will doubtless be put aside, and in
the right establishment of this great public
resort Colonel Stebbins, who has seen the
world in both hemispheres, and knows what
can be done with such opportunities as are
now before the Commission, may gain himself
fame that will remind the public of the sue
cesses of Haussmann, in Paris, though not
certainly of the bad financial side Of the ven
lures by that greatest among beautifers Of
cities.
One real need in the Park is such central,
general universal point Of gathering and rem
devious as Rotten Row, in Hyde Park, or the
promenade and drive by the lake in the Bots
de Boulogne. As contrived now the drive in
the Park is simply continuous and tortuous
country road, with here and there some pref
tier bits of landscape gardening at either side
of the road than one is apt to meet in an ordi-
nary country drive, but not otherwise sub
stantially different, and with road contrived
thus and narrow footpath at one side, the
principal activity of well organized police
appears to be addressed to the great problem
of keeping people on foot and people in car
riages as far apart as possible. It seems in
credible that this should be the case in great
public resort of chatty, talkative, social peo-
pie, who go out, not so much to drive or take
the air, perhaps, as to see and be seen-to in
dulge the genial human instincts of fondness
for conversation and social intercourse gen.
orally. All the space on the drive for the
first mile or two miles from the Fifth avenue
corner should be forthwith turned into COM
bined promenade and drive of the sort indi-
cated drive wide enough for four or six
carriages to go abreast, SO that three lines could
be moving either way and a general lounge
and promenade along its whole length, from
which promenaders could recognize their
friends in the carriages and to which people
in the carriages could readily descend if they
desired. This is the great want of the Park, and
want that should be recognized and sup
piled.

Aid for the Mississippi Sufferers.

The terrible foundations which recently
laid waste oil the Lower Mississippi districts
have been the cause of more widespread suf-
fering than at first was thought to be the case.
The Mayor of New Orleans telegraphs to
Mayor Havemeyer to the effect that forty-fve
thousand persons are in destitute circum-
stances from this sad calamity, and that daily
rations have been so far served out to that
number. The contributions from all sources
for the last month amount to nearly two hun
bred and fifty thousand dollars, but million
dollars more are needed to ward off famine
and loss Of life. Such an appeal to the well
known generosity and philanthropy Of the
metropolis should not fall on Indifferent ears,
but should call forth prompt action and inn
mediate relief Mayor Havemeyer promises
to take action in the matter when further par
ticulars come by mail; hardly course to
recommend itself by promptness. Mean
while. however, he will receive subscriptions
meeting Of prominent citizens of Brooklyn
will be held tonight in Mayor Hunters Office
to adopt measures for the speedy aid Of the
poor houseless families on the banks Of the
Mississippi For such deserving charity
there should not be moment lost or unneces-
sary delay made to ward off the horrors of
actual starvation now impending over those
poor people.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1874-05-27

The venerable Havemeyer has issued ono
of his bulls against the bill to charter
the River Line Rapid Transit and Warehouse
Company, now in the Governors hands.
the Mayor has not read the bill it probably is
because of the opinion he entertains OF the
character of the Legislature that passed 1t.
Nothing good can come out of the Nazareth
that investigated Charlick and gave Have
meyer the power to appoint Disbecker, and it
is enough that the Mayor objects to the noise
and confusion of steam cars running through
the city, just the same as he denounces the
repaving of our avenues, frets over the build
ing of the Brooklyn Bridge and refuses to be
comforted when he learns that the city he
ruled over in the last generation has burst its
s'natural boundaries" and stretched away on
the road to Albany. SO he pounds away with
his sledge hammer blows at imaginary evils
until his honest Dutch countenance CLOVIS
with enthusiasm. Governor Dix viii no
doubt examine all the bills left in his hands
by the Legislature with care, and will approve
or reject them on their own merits. So the
Mayor can sleep in peace and dream OF a
third term in the sweet consciousness that the
interests of the city are safe in the Governors
keeping.

BISMARCK AND VICTOR EMMANUEL.-The
King of Italy authorizes the denial Of the
letter published in the London Times giving
the substance of a conversation between His
Majesty and Bismarck, and which has ap-
peared in the HERALD. 1t seems that the
King was very indignant at these statements,
and that when he was in Berlin Bismarck
simply complimented the Italians for their
loyalty and talked about the weather. In the
first place Bismarck would be apt to talk to a
king about the weather when they met, and
in the second place, as Carl Schurz and Sir
Lambton Lorraine can testify, the great value
of an interview is that it can be so readily dis
avowed as the work of mischievous reporter

The United States Naval Academy.

Elsewhere our correspondent at Annapolis
gives brief but comprehensive review OF tho
leading characteristics of the United States
Naval Academy, where the midshipmen are
now undergoing their annual examination.
West Point has long been familiar to
every American. 1t is now veteran insti-
tuition, while the Naval Academy is in its
adolescence. There is no reason for. a COM
parison, and one could hardly be made with
justice to either. Yet it may be said that the
Naval Academy has been quietly and success
fully rising, Notwithstanding its abrupt depart
ure from Annapolis at the outbreak OF the
civil war, until now it's system of instruction,
general and professional, is not surpassed in
the Union. The Academy suffered during
many years from the jealousy OF older officers,
who had gathered oil their lore on the quarter
deck, and who were not partial to shook
learning or theoretical knowledge. Now
that the graduates evince high order OF pro-
fessional aptitude and really comprise the
cream Of the navy this feeling has nearly sub
sided.

New MExco.-The proposition to make
New Mexico State is incomplete Let us
have State out of Alaska and another out of
Arizona and two or three out of Texas. The
surest way to perfect our system of representa-
tive government is to ''enfranchise" the ice
bergs of Alaska and the plains oe New Mexico,
and give them Senators enough to outvote
New York and Pennsylvania Carlyle sneered
at manhood suffrage by demanding doghood
suffrage. Let us have coyote suffrage and buff
falo representation. Then it will be proper to
admit New Mexico as State. But if it is
necessary to have men before we have a State
New Mexico can wait. New York and New
England, with their millions of people and
hundreds of millions of property interests,
are rather tired of being outvoted on such
questions as initiation by representatives of
pine woods, prairie stretches and Rocky
Mountains.
