TIE TRLRUNES BIRTHDAY.

THE TRIBUNE enters to-day upon its Thirty
fourth year of life. 1t has lasted an ordinary
generation of men. In this first third of its
first century it has seen the map of the world
greatly changed, and the social and political
structure of our own land entirely revolution
lied. 1t has not every year seen its lmmedi-
ate objects attained, but every cause 1T has
advocated has made progress, and every wrong
it has attacked has suffered loss III this lapse
of time. Slavery is dead in this country. Alb
solutsm in Church and State has received
irremediable damage in almost every country
in the world where it fourished thirty-three
years ago. Democracy has gained ground in
every nation on earth from France to Japan.
American manufactures have made enormous
progress, and we believe the Free-Trade
League has vanished from the role of the great
Powers.
Our friends will be glad to learn that in the
general advance of free institutions The
TRIBUNE has kept its even pace IN the van.
Although we suffered more than year ago q
loss which can never be repaired, in the death
of the revered and hOnored founder of this
paper, our material prosperity has suffered no
check. AT no tune since the foundation of

The progress of a much-needed work on
our Atlantic coast is announced in our dis
patches chain of telegraph and life saving
stations has been completed along the entire
coast between Norfolk and Cape Hatteras
No portion of our sea-coast presents more
dangers to the mariner; the whole area is
strewn with wrecks. No experience is more
frequent in the record of our daily shipping
reports than the encounter of a storm off
Cape Hatteras and an unfortunate conclusion
there to voyage that had met nothing pre-
vious but prosperous gales. 1t often happens,
even where actual shipwreck does not take
place, that the time lost off that Cape is
greater than in all the rest of trip from a
West Indian or South American port, and the
number of vessels that are more or less disa-
bled in that portion of their passage would
surprise any one unfamiliar with the facts.
1t is to be hoped that the present undertaking
will be only the beginning of measures for
obyiating the dangers and assuaging the
terrors of that coast; that the signals and
forewarnings which science can provide will
not be wanting, in addition to every appliance
for relief when actual misfortune supervenes.

"In drives about the gay Cascine,
Or walks In BObOlrs ducal bowers"

The letter of Miss Cushman, which we publish In
another place. is which ought to have been writ
ten long ago, and which, nevertheless, no one who
did not possess this great artists social and pro-
fessional standing would have dared to write. She
ia strong enough in the fame of long lifetime OF
lavish munfcence to refuse to obey the requisition
of self-appolnted assessor of charities. There is
nothing more vulgar and thoughtless than the
habitual practice of all sorts OF committeeman, OF
calling upon artists to aid their work to an extent
wholly disproportioned to their means Men OF
large fortune think themselves very generous in
giving hundred dollars, but they think nothing
of asking for an evenings performance, for pic
ture. or poem or a sketch, which may represent a
week of labor and consequent deficit at the end
of 1.-THE month, to the overworked artist who fur
nishes it. All classes of artists usually give to
charity fully as much they can afford, and do 1t
willingly and gladly. But we are glad to see that
one of the greatest of them, whose motives cannot
be misconstrued. has taken occasion to protest
against the unjust and inconsiderate demands which
arc continually made upon them.

1t appears that the length and excitement of
the Massachusetts, Senatorial contest have at
last aroused even the attention of the Presi-
dent. With some show of interest, he pro-
poses to settle it by putting Mr. Dawes into
the Treasury in place of the unfortunate Mr..
Richardson. 1t is further expected that this
being done, the Administration men will re-
ceive Executive orders to vote for Mr.. Hoar.
The programme is taking one it has about
it the true "truck and dicker" flavor of the
present Administration. Indeed, it might be
said to be withdrawal of Mr. Dawes from
the course with surrender of forfeit money and
doubling of stakes on Hoar. Strange to say,
the Butler men do MT like this new view of
things, and threaten to break the slate and
vote for Mr.. Adams.

good specimen of Government contracts
came out in the District of Columbia investi-
CATION yesterday. A Chicago firm succeeded
in obtaining a contract for laying wooden
pavement. This cost 81 40 per square yard !;
the Government paid So so, which, as the con-
tractors were to put down about 100000 square
yards, was good thing Itwould shed some light
on the proceedings Of the District Ring if we
could sec how such a profitable job was Sc
cured. The agent of the Chicago firm seems
to have been Mr.. Chittenden, who received
$4,000 in cash and notes, part of which was
paid out for expenses and part for payment
on the national debt. This is Chittenden's
explanation. He is described as a man of
"lordly presence and prinoely habits" We
might have guessed as much.

Sanborn made his unexpected statement
of disbursements yesterday. The Committee
do not appear to have gained much informa-
ton from it, Beyond few trifling items OF
$4,000 or $4,000 to eminent counsel never
before heard of, the schedule looks reasonable
for man of Mr.. Sanborn's generous way OF
life. The counsel for this much prosecuted
gentleman demurred to the Committees in
quiry for Sanborn's accounts as IAN invasion
"of private rights.' We do not see why San
born, with serious charges pending against
him, should be more tendevly dealt with than
reputable merchants. Government spies do
not ask for papers and account-books; they
march in and seize them.

No one seems to know precisely how Mr. sanborn
got his contracts. 1t is one of the profoundes mys-
teries that has yet exercised the intellect of the
present Congress. 1t seems pretty certain that he
did not get them from anybody in Washington, ana
the theory that his room was broken into and the
contracts stuffed into his pockets will hardly hold
water. 1t occurs to as barely possible that the
able-bodied statesman who acts as coporteur for q
Broadway corn DOCTOR distributing tracts with reck-
less generosity to wayfarers. may have handed
Sanborn the contracts by mistake for a tract on
Chropody or some such Greek amusement. Tho
colporteur has worn an unusually thoughtful look
for several weeks and it is quite likely that II may
be because he has missed the contracts from his side
breast pocket. We suggest to the Committee that
he be summoned, and charge nothing for the sug-
geston. They cannot lose anything by it. liz ne
knows nothing about the contracts. he can gave
them some useful information about corns, and that
at n time when SO many are being trod on is no
tritiing matter.

The appointment of a new Minister to
China is one of those ingenious surprises with
which the President occasionally bursts upon
a breathless Republic. The Hon. +. F. Low,
who has creditably filled the office for sew
eral years, resigned. Secretary Fish, it is
said, asked that Mr.. Geo. +. Seward Consul
General at Shanghai, be appointed in his
place. Mr.. Seward has long represented the
United States at Chinese ports therefore the
President thought he ought not to be ap-
pointed; and the name of Mr.. b. P. Avery Of
San Francisco was sent to the Senate Mr.
Avery is modest, genial, and retiring gen
tleman, possessing no knowledge whatever of
diplomatic affairs. He is an editor of long
experience and now conducts The Overland
Monthly. From all that can be learned of
this gentleman, appointed to represent the
United States at the capital of the Chinese
Empire, he will be more amazed than any
body else at this sudden accession of diplo-
matte dignity.

Civil Service Reform received another cuff
ing at the hands of Gen. Butler yesterday.
The occasion was an incidental debate on
Mr. Woodford's bill to substitute fixed sala-
ries for moieties, contingent fees, perquisites,
and the nameless means by which officials
appropriate public property. In the course OF
his remarks the eminent economist who sneers
at Civil Service Reform as "A humbug," took
occasion to say that Washington availed him
self of official perquisites and procured his
equipage from the Quartermaster's Depart
ment 1t is not so reported, but 1t is probable
that after Gen. Butler had referred to Wash
ingtons private habits and AttOrney-General
Williams's landaulet, he sat down and had a
quiet guffaw inside of his ample sleeve.
