Our Avenue.

The bright and invigorating weather,
which has fingered beyond its period, shows
us the disadvantages under which we labor
in the present condition Of Fifth avenue.
This avenue is to New York what the avenue
of the Champs Elysees is to Paris. 1t is
alike the avenue Of the rich and the poor.
Here the man Of fashion and society goes for
his morning drive or his evening stroll. Here
the poor man with his wife and children goes
for his Sunday afternoons saunter, to see the
world and the great houses, and the multi
tudinous throng which sunny day, cold or
warm is sure to attract to the avenue. 1t is
also the way to the Park, our great pleasure
ground-the heart and lungs of the city. In
the decadence that has fallen upon New
York, since the downfall of our old Ring no
part has suffered more than the avenue. 1t
has fallen into decay and is no longer what it
was as the glory fNew York. What we want is
a thorough repaving of the avenue SO that
it may be to US really what the avenue of the
Champs Elysees is to Paris. This is as much
the duty Of the city as the opening of the
parks or the repair of the public buildings.
1t should be done also without delay. In
doing so we should be governed by the best
wisdom of our engineers and those who have
studied the building Of roads. We have had
our share of experiments in the making of
fanciful roads ofplaster and tar and wood The
Ring taught US amid all of its follies and
waste that the only way to secure a good
road was to build one that would last We
can learn this from the Romans. But it was
necessary that the lesson should come home
in a more emphatic manner before we could
be entirely weaned from our wooden pave
ment and tar and gravel fancies. New York
and Brooklyn, Washington and Chicago
show US the folly and unhealthfulness of
these experiments in street building. Take

An Italian Compliment.

In honoring Mr.. Stanley the Italian Geo
graphical Society does honor to Young Italy.
The land that gave birth to Columbus can
well afford to pay a need of praise to the
adventurous spirit, the tenacity of purpose
amid discouragements, of one who halls from
the land tho great Genoese discovered.
When Deputy Caperio addressed his high
compliment to the HERALD for it's enterprise
in sending Stanley forth, the thought of at
wrought must have risen in his mind Then
the munifcence of king alone could
give the man who wanted to fill up
the map of the world the means to
carry out his project; now q news
paper, in fulhlment of its duty, enacts
the part of Ferdinand. There is a certain
amount of power always present in the
world, and from the simple comparison
above we may judge whittier it is tending.
1t is waning on the side of kings and waxing
on the side of the peoples. The accretion
Of popular power is typiied in the growing
power of the press, for the true journal is the
reflector of the wants, the aspirations and
the majesty OF the people. 1t comes fresher
from them than the most maiden legislature,
because it is renewed in the peoples
confidence and recharged with the
peoples mission daily. Hence, when
Deputy Caperio wished that Italy pos
sessed HERALD, while acknowledging
the direct compliment, we are fain to believe
that he meant it in a broader sense than the
desire for a journal which would assume the
paternity of an exploring expedition, no
matter how important. He, doubtless,
meant also to express his desire that the
spirit of personal independence which sup
ports the HERALD here existed throughout
the length and breadth Of the Italian penin-
sula. Then new Columbus would not be
forced to Spain or elsewhere for his King
Ferdinand, and then a new Galileo could
have his diagrams printed on the pages of
his Roman newspaper without retracting be-
fore the Inquisition what he is said to have
reahirmed in dramatic phrase a moment
afterward.

nues in Brooklyn, or Pennsylvania avenue in

modern tinkers have done in the way Of i'm
proving a city compared with the old
Romans. What we want is pavement that
represents the best efforts of the modern
engineers and builders This is seen in the
macadamizing process A macadamized
pavement shows the effect of wear and tear
less than any other. 1t is when we'll made
almost as near as we can come to an ever
lasting pavement. 1t will satisfy the wants
of all. 1t will be an economy in the best
sense, because we shall not be compelled to
make an appropriation every season to repair
or replace it. 1t suits our climate better
than any other. In the renewal Of New
York, which is now the main duty Of our
people, we should adopt it and make our
avenue worthy of the city and of the best
interests of all classes.

there is any failure in the administration Of
law it matters little how good the law may
be. Few people take much interest in
noting who is put at the head of
the various administrative departments
Of the State government, and would
not raise a finger to change the
appointment from one name to another be-
cause they regard this as point Of politics
outside their reach. Yet on such an appoint
ment may turn the safety or the loss of all
the little hoard to gain which they have risen
at daylight in the winter mornings year in
and year out. An instance is exhibited in
the recent failure of the Bank Department to
enforce the law with regard to the Third Ave-
nue. Savings Bank. BY statute it is made
the specific duty of the department to stop
banks in the condition that bank was in last
January, and if this had been done every dol
lar deposited since that time would have
been saved to the owners. 1t has been shown
in court that the statement then made of the
condition of the bank was false, and also that
in March the Bank Department was in pos
session of the fact that the statement
was false. Yet with this knowledge the
department permitted that bank to accept
deposits-that is to take the money of the
people on false pretences-for seven months.
Is this official purity? But there is worse
than this to be said; for when it was neces-
sary to close the doors the Superintendent of
Banks put in charge one of the officers that
he knew was guilty of returning false state
ment of the condition of the bank; and the
just removal of that person by judge of
the Supreme Court is the only fact that has
made possible any effort to save the depositors.
It is to be hoped that the Court is to be
better trusted with the peoples rights.

Yesterdays Sermons.

The good words which our preachers sowed
among their congregations yesterday, and
which we reproduce to-day for wider con-
gregation still, will be found we'll worthy
perusal. When Mr.. Frothingham said that
nothing can be substituted for sin
cerity," and when he adjured all
men to speak the truth that was in
them without juggling with words, he
inculcated lesson which even those can
accept who are not prepared to 90 as far on
the road Of liberalism as himself Mr.. Hep
worths plea for moral life is unexception-
able, and as he believes the best physical or
ganization is led up to by the highest mo-
rality we hope that those who read may be
induced to be good if they wish
to be strong Mr.. Beecher will be
seen to labor in his endeavor to show how
hard it is to understand God-to analyze as
chemist would, the great Being that moves
the universe. Out of this difficulty he draws
the lesson that we must do our best to serve
Him without being too inquisitive as to what
He is Mr. Talmage is still warm on the
Bible in the public schools, and as itappears
that his house has been on fire he thinks
IL right to attribute that fact to the enc
mics who would like to crowd the Bible
ito the verge of the world and then fling it
into the blackness Of darkness" He might,
we think, find another cause for if he left
a verbatim copy Of his previous Sundays
sermon round loose it might have originated
what he views as an anti-Bible arson The
Catholics yesterday dedicated new church
for the Bohemians Of this city, and we hope
they will attend il.

THE EXPLOSION or DYNAMITE at Bremen
haven on Saturday last takes, according tp
our special dispatches, an aspect more di-
abolical than we were willing to allow our
selves TO picture 1t is asserted from Berlin
that the case was intended by the wretch who
had it prepared for shipment to have been
exploded at sea. This horrifying plot, for
which we can imagine no origin in the ordi-
nary depravity of mankind demands the
most signal punishment if the facts are estab-
lished. "Sixty-eight persons killed outright
and thirty-fve wounded" is fearful result
but if the explosion had taken place at sea
the fatalities would have been numbered by
hundreds. The German imperial police.

Who Is GRANTS SUCCESSOR ?-The Presi-
dents phraseology in the sentence, ''This
will be the last annual Message which I shall
have the honor Of transmitting to Congress
before my successor is chosen" is claimed
by his friends to be distinct disclaimer of
any intention to be candidate for third
term. As we have said, it binds him to
nothing. The question is, what meaning he
attaches to successor" Some analogy can
be found in the manner in which General
Grants salary was raised-a change for
hidden by the constitution during the period
for which President is elected. Now,
Grants salary was raised by Congress in the
period after he had been elected in 1872 and
before he had been inaugurated in 1873.
This was legally justified on the argument
that the increased salary was not given to
Grant personally, but to the President alb
stractly for the term beginning in March,
1873. When he speaks of successor" now
does he use the word as it was meant then !?
We think that he does. Successor" is SIM
ply the next President, whoever he may be.
