Was novelty. exclaimed, "Golly, chile, dis

and detected appearance Of the Republican,
are scarcely less amusing than true.

Everybody will be pleased to know that the
Administrator of Improvements has serious
designs upon St. Charles Avenue. above
Toledano street. We are Informed by him
self that he proposes to repair the paving
on the avenue just rs the block in front
of Mr.. Joseph Hernandez was repaired by
Mr.. Cockrem, when he was Administrator,
i. O., by reducing the crown and using such
of the old material as may be still sound.
This we regard as very excellent idea,
and it certainly is the least expensive plan
that could be adopted, provided the new
blocks used be of well seasoned cypress.
The depreciation Of property situate Oh this
beautiful avenue by reason of the desperate
condition of the roadway has been very great
and we are not quite sure but that the city
could be successfully prosecuted for dam
ages by the owners of real estate, who are
sufferers through the neglect of the city to
keep the street in ordinary repair.
We sincerely trust that no obstacle will
be thrown in the way Of the Administrator,
and that he will carry out his laudable in
tentions as rapidly as possible, for the stu
alton really demands the serious considera-
tion of the city magnates.

THE ST. LOUIS BRIDGE.-The iron work
of the great bridge across the Mississippi,
at ST. Louis, has been completed by the
Keystone Bridge Company. The bridge
proper consists of three arches each, over
500 feet in length. Platforms could not be
built from which to construct the arches on
account of the rapid river current, and of
their interference, if erected, with the bust
ness interests of st. LOUIS. These difficult
ties We're met, however, by the engineering
skill of the contractors. From each of the
two river piers arches were sprung which
balanced each other as they were being
built, and from which the workmens plat
forms We're suspended. The arcs to meet
these were balanced from the shore
piers by counterpoise weights, so ar
arc in its proper position, notwith-
standing the contraction and expansion
always going on in the metal supporting
the rods. Link by link the spans were
built out from six different points, until the
three arches met over the river and were
firmly banded together. The bridge Is a
wonderful specimen of skill in construction.
and this, no less than it's great size and cost,
will make it attractive to tourists. Its cost.
including tunnel and approaches will not
be less than Sl0,00O,000. The bridge is sixty
feet above high water, but complaints have
been made that it is not high enough to
allow the passage of the great Mississippi
steamboats, under its spans. The immense
smoke stacks on these boats however, can
probably be cut off to suit the bridge, and.
if not, they can be so constructed as to be
!" telescOped," one section within another.
while they are passing under this great
bridge. Western paper suggests that
these smoke stacks must acknowledge in
feriority by graceful bow.

The total foreign trade of Canada is ex-
ceeding s24O, 100000 in gold annually. which
is a per capita trade Of $50 per head. Our
own foreign trade is, or was in 1873, 81 ,3O0,-
100000. This divided by forty millions of
people is only s32 50 per capita. Thus it
seems that these Canadians, whom some
wish to treat as if they were mere fag-end
Of creation, beat US by nearly 100 per cent
per CAPITA in the foreign trade.

have no reason to doubt tit is hardly
possible to overrats its Importance The
summoning of Mr.. Washburne to Washington
of course means . change of the Cabinet, and
q change of Cabinet at this time would be
conclusive proof of . political "new de-
parture'' by the President Mr.. Washburne's
return to take the first place in the Cabinet is
perhaps the wisest strategy which President
Grant could adopt. Washburne is q politician
whose record in Congress is Of character to
recommend him to the country, because no
member who served with him made himself
so conspicuous as q strenuous advocate OF
economy. He has acquired shining reputa-
ton as Minister to Paris in trying period,
and he will come back to this country
uncommitted to any side in our re-
cent domestic controversies But he
is thoroughly conversant with our do
mestic politics, is perfectly acquainted with
the capacities, ambitions and political rela-
tions of all our leading public men, and his
long personal friendship with President Grant,
whom he put on the road to fortune, would
make him the most valued as well as the
most trusted adviser the President could have
in a critical conjuncture like the present If
Mr.. Washburne has been summoned home he
will. of course, take the position of Secretary
of State, and be the head of the new Cabinet.
If the President has called him to this station
he will follow his advice in selecting the other
members of his new Cabinet, and although
Mr.. Washburne has been for several years abb
sent from the country the President could
not find wiser or moro judicious counsellor.
A new Cabinet selected by President Grant,
with the advantage of Mr.. Washburnea advice,
would be strong one, and would, doubtless.
have great ascendancy over Congress dur
ing the coming session, when everything must
be done which can be done at all to retrieve
the political situation.
We have no doubt that President Grant will
act wisely in this new Arkansas difficulty, and
prove that he retreats from his original mistake
in supporting Kellogg in Louisiana. and if
our information that he has summoned MIR.
Washburne from Paris to Washington is con-
firmed the democratic rejoicings over the
recent elections may prove to be premature.
Grant has his political Wilderness now as he
had his military Wilderness in 1854, and his
summoning of Mr.. Washburne from Paris
will encourage the republican party to believe
that he will survive the one as triumphantly
as he did the other.

Mr.. Simonton and the Associated Press.
We receive an occasional letter from Mr..
J. w. Simonton, the able agent of the Asso-
ciated Press, exposing what he calls the
shameless fabrications' Of the American
Press Association. Mr.. Simonton is always
an interesting correspondent, and we read his
letters with pleasure and profit But we have
no room for these letters in our news columns.
These publications on the part Of MI. Simon
ton az calculated to injure the Associated
Press by giving prominence to the American
Press Association. As the HERALD is one of
the owners of the Associated Press we nat
urally object to anything which may affect
the value of our franchise Mr.. Simonton must
see that every letter he writes about the
American Press Association aids the business
of that concern. People who have never
heard of it will begin to ask about it and to
desire to read its news, and the consequence
will be that the HERALD, the Tribune, the En-
press, the Sun, the Journal Of Commerce,
the World and the other papers will be
compelled to buy the American Press Associa-
tions news, while, if Mr. Simonton had
been wise and not yielded to the temptation
of writing letters no one would ever have
heard about it, and we should not be called
upon to incur the additional expense of pur-
chasing its news.
Mr.. Simonton is not only great letter
writer, but before he became as opulent and
powerful as he now is was most industrious
correspondent and reporter. In fact we
never knew better reporter, and Washington
remembers to this day his industry and vigi-
lance and sterling honesty. This being
the case he must keenly feel the fact
that the Associated Press has not
been as we'll served in its foreign
news rs the American Press Association

The Public Libraries ON SUNDAY y

Vne FuDl1c AlDrer1es ON Sunday
The experiment of opening the public
reading rooms and libraries on Sunday has
been successful, we believe, wherever it has
been fairly tried. The trouble with young
men in our large cities is that they have no
intellectual recreations OF Occupations on
Sunday after the few hours they may spend
in church. The library offers them the op-
portunity they need, and they desire it all the
more because during the week many of them
are deprived Of it by their business engage
ments. The habits of reading or study
formed in youth generally endure through
life, and even desultory reading must tend to
improve the mind and guard it from coarse
fascinations. The temptations to indulge in
idle amusements Of Injurious dissipation are
almost unnumbered in q great city like New
York, and must be counteractcd by higher
attractions. While our theologians and actors
are debating the propriety of opening the
theatres and opera houses on Sunday, there
should be no,difference of opinion about the
public Libraries. 1t is great wrong to the
young men of thu city to close them on the
day when they are most needed.
