The Lessons of the Pulpit.

The sermons in the metropolitan churches
yesterday possessed no remarkable or unusual
feature, but were of that partly practical
partly doctrinal character very often observed
in modern preaching. The Rev. DR.. Bellows,
for instance discoursed on the receptions of
life, taking for his text the sighings OF Job for
the projections of days past Mr.. Beecher,
too, pleaded for the New Testament mode Of
perfecting men-by the righteousness which
is Of faith viewing those knotty Presbyterian
problems of faith and works and faith and
righteousness from his own standpoint Even
Mr.. rockingham talked Of aspiration and
prayer in more orthodox Protestant fashion
than is his won't though he took care to say
that prayer alone would not accomplish much
good. In the Thirteenth street Presbyterian
church the Rev. S. D. Burchard portrayed the
character of Christ as a sympathizing Saviour,
and the Rev. DR.. Anderson, of the First
Baptist church took similar theme, present
ing CHRIST as the exemplar of youth. At st.
7 Patrick's Cathedral the Rev. Father Kearney
drew salutary lesson from the faith of the
Three Wise Men of the East who followed
tne gululnS Star 10 tHe naNSer Wnere Lay inc
infant Jesus, and at the Church of ST. Francis
de Sales, in Brooklyn, the Rev. T. D. Delaney
delivered o discourse on the unity Of the
Church. All these themes were treated in
quiet and unostentatious manner, and Mr..
Talmage had the field to himself in the way
of creating sensation. He attacked pride
and extravaganza and dishonesty in his own
characteristic way, but he only succeeded in
showing by contrast with the other discourses
of theday, that If the teachings of his breth-
rem were needed there would be no necessity
for his lively attacks upon prevailing vices.
After all it is better to teach men how to live
than to amuse them with smart catalogue of
their sins, and this was what was done yester-
day in most of the churches.

We trust that as soon as our statesmen in
Albany have decided who shall wear the
Senatorial ermine they will give their atten-
ton to the one question which now engrosses
the mind of New York-the question of rapid
transit. The time has come for this metftp-
oils to say whether it will live or die We do
not mean this in an extravagant sense, but
simply as an assertion of the fact that the
growth of New York is stopped, and that
New Jersey and Kings county are steadily ad-
Manhattan Island. which should be the home
of two millions of people, comfortably housed,
with all the pleasures and opportunities Of
modern civilization, is rapidly becoming
city of beggars and ,millionnaires, while the
fine districts which spread beyond the Har-
lem on the Hudson River and Long Island
Sound are abandoned to malaria and typhus.
generous and just policy Of rapid transit
the open country along the rivers hundred
thousand people now burrowing in the dense
and unhealthy localities Of Brooklyn and
New York, would bind these cities together in
tribute to the pleasures of domestic life by
enabling our citizens who live in the country
to spend more time with their families and
it would add to the material growth of New
tropolis.

ga CONSERVATIVE REPUBLIC The London
Daily Ne,os sums up an analysis of the French
situation by criticising the French politicians,
who appear to amuse themselves by contro-
versy and strife for power, and make no earn
est effort for the harmony and salvation of the
national interests. 'lnstead of promoting
union in France" says the Ne,os, Sin the face
of common danger, they have for the mo-
ment given only new impulse and new
weapons to the faction fights Of partisans
What France really needs, in order to conjure
away the perils which surround her. is a
settled government, unpledged to dynastic
alliances, not bound TO revenge straight way
the military honor Of any flag, whether white
or tricolored, and disentangled from risky
social experiments. In other words, she needs
a conservative republic. II Germany desires
it in the interests of European peace France
ought not to desire it less in the interests of
her own internal tranquility and prosperity"
This unusual tribute to republicanism, for an
English journal, is worthy of note. 1t is a
sign of our modern political progress.

this document The scenery, as everybody
knows, is remarkable and diversified; but it is
recommended that only thu mountainous re-
gion, the heart of the Adirondacks, shall
be taken at present for park. This district
includes nearly six hundred square miles,

valueyAand the timber being useless, excepting
in ftwof the valleys. 1t contains the highest
mountain peaks, Mount Marcy and others
ranging tpcm four-thousand to five thousand
feet Thesimporta.nce of protecting this wild
region from the wastefulness and ravages Of

year will pass measure which will give tho
people of New York a. park corresponding
in value to thatwhich Che wisdom Of Con-
gress has provided for the nason in the Rocky
Mountains. Civilization has destroyed too

"While, like Others he said on one of these
occasions II am engaged here every morning
in presenting to the Senate the proceedings of
public meetings and the memorials of indi-
viduals supplicating Congress to re-establish
the authority of the laws, I think it due to
those who do me the honor to thus make me
the organ of their sentiments and their wishes,
and, indeed, to the whole country, that
should express my own opinions" 1t was
chiefly through these memorials, which fur
nished constant occasions to the best speakers
IN Congress- that the agitation was so long
Kept up in the country, spreading and deep
enlng like river in its onward fow The
great public meetings and the members of
Congress who favored their object were thus
enabled to play into each others hands,
the memorials opening the way for
daily denunciations in the most conspicuous
public theatre, which, in turn, reacted upon
and intensified popular feeling We believe
that the gravity of the present crisis justifes
recourse to that effective method, so firmly
Embedded in the usage of freemen that the
right of assembling is guaranteed in the
~O~S-SA~,
tioning the government as its appropriate
end.
There is still time enough to prepare q
memorial for adoption this evening, In
place OF string Of resolutions if two or three
of our soundest lawyers can be induced to
give few hours to its preparation. The as
sistauce of minds trained in the habits of
precision which belong to the legal profession
is desirable as a safeguard against stilted
rhetoric and rs an aid TO that luminous close
ness of statement which best serves for
setting legal or constitutional points in the
most impressive light.
1t matters little, however, who drafts the
memorial if its positions of law are wisely
chosen and the 'torm of sound words is
adhered to in its language. Dignity of tone,
exactness of statemerA and logical force are
its chief requisites and if the committee which
has been appointed for drafting resolutions
would invite the assistance Of great lawyer
and cast this matter both into the form of a
memorial and OF resolutions the meeting
could decide which form it preferred.

The Acknowledged Natural Park fors
New York.

Ever since Mr.. Murray informed the people
of the existence of the Adirondacks that re-
gion has been favorite ground of trout
fishers, hunters and tourists. There are few
other districts as large as this, from three to
five thousand square miles, in Eastern North
America, which have defed the encroach-
ments of civilization and remain to-day
much as they were when the white man first
put his conquering foot upon the Continent.
The attention of the State government was
called to this unexplored region, and Mr.. Ver-
planck Colvin, the head of the Survey Depart
rnent, has laid before the Legislature his Off
cial report on the Adirondacks. There was
also introduced last year bill to make State
park of the wilderness, and the feasibility Of
this measure is considered by Mr.. Colvin IN

that the Imperial Court is seeking to effect a

York.
Let us suppose that, year ago, General
Dix being Governor of the State and General
Mcdowell commander of this military depart
ment there had been difficulty in the organ
ization OF the Assembly at Albany, the
democrats getting the upper hand and ad-
hitting five members whose seats were
contested. Suppose further that Governor
Dix, in defiance of the constitution of
Legislature the sole judge of the election
and qualifications of its members, had as
sumed to Gust the five whose seats were con-
tested, and had applied to General Mcdowell
for federal troops for that purpose, and that
General Mcdowell had sent subordinate
members and drag them out Of the Assembly
chamber. What would the people of New
York and of the country have said to such
proceeding?
Suppose still further that on the
people raising great cutlery against
such an employment Of the federal
army General Mcdowell had sent to
Washington justification, alleging that the
people of New York were q "banditti," and
Offering to support his assertion by list of
the UNPUBLISHED murders committed in the
State within the last five years (of which
there is really a formidable catalogue), parad-
ing the Ring frauds and the failure of the
law to recover the plumber and reciting
the corruption Of the canal Ring the Brock
Ign adultery cases and all the countless
scandals and crimes reported in the New
York press. Surprising it possible that Gen.
eral Mcdowell, after such an illegal use of his
troops, had had the front to telegraph to
Washington such an arraignment Of the
New York "banditti'' as a defence, what
would people here have said Of him? Would
they have accepted such a justification?
Would they not rather have denounced the
apology, however true in itself, as utterly ir-
relevant to the case?
