were great friends, and seemed to have mu-
tual respect for each others talents One day.
after dinner, Curran said, "Reverend father, l
wish You we're ST. Peter.'' "And why would
you wish that" asked O'Leary. Because,
reverend father, in that case," said Curran,
''you could let me in" by my honor and
better for you ti,at had the keys Of the other
place, for then could let you out.'

A correspondent innocently asks whether
the United States are not rapidly becoming the
paradise Of monopolies, and whether capital is
not rapidly aggregating and crushing out indi-
vidual enterprise. Things certainly have very
much that aspect, but just how to remedy the
difficulty is one Of the questions which our
political economists have not yet been able to
determine -Erchangc.
The way to remedy it is to vote for
Peter Cooper. Even though he does not
carry single state,a few hundred thous-
and votes cast for him will constitute a
rallying point tor the future; Just as
Fremont's defeat in 1856 led to Lin
coins election in 1860.

"Man's inhumanity to man,
Makes countless thousands mourn"
The New York herald., 1876-01-16
steeplechase Racing.

The Spirit of the Times, in its last issue, has
a very sensible article on steeplechases and
hurdle races, which we reprinted yesterday.
It's views on the subject are the same as those
expressed in the HERALD about the man
ner in which these races should be managed.
After praising the American Jockey Club
for the wise policy it has adopted in raising
the scale of racing weights and defining
welter weights to be twenty-eight pounds
instead of forty pounds, as heretofore, as we
had previously done, the Spirit respectfully
recommends the American Jockey Club to
take another step and make steeplechases
still more exciting in their character and
more attractive to the spectators, and that is
in increasing the height and breadth of the
Jumps. At present the hurdles, fences and
stone walls rarely, if ever, exceed three feet
and half in height, and the water jumps
twelve feet and the former are at least
twelve inches too low, and only serve to
deceive horses and endanger the riders. I"
This is exactly the advice, and nearly in the
same words, that we have been giving the
American and other jockey clubs of the
country, so that they may make the changes
before the racing season commences in the
spring. Then the lovers Of the dashing
and popular style of racing may have some
thing to look forward to in steeplechasing of
much grander character than ever seen
before on any of the racing grounds of
America. We again recommend the opening
of stakes for this exciting sport, making the
subscription within every horseman's means,
and giving added money literally to the
stakes instead of in purses, as heretofore, and
as our sporting contemporary advises, edo
away with the time test in races of this kind
and make the jumping abilities of the horse
the test of his merits equally with his speed. "
With sweepstakes instead of races for
purses we think there would be less chance
for suspicion of dishonesty and that the
best horse would be more likely to win. II
we were to publish 1.-THE of what we have
heard about the perpetration of frauds since
the Canadians first introduced cross country
racing in these latitudes, our readers would
think that cheating has been the rule and
not the exception. But, knowing that
rogues are generally the FIRST to cry
stop thief, we do not credit the stories.
Still, Others may, and therefore we advocate
the adoption of sweepstakes instead OF
purse races, as they will in great Measure
dispel the suspicion of trickery and bring
new horses and new men into the steeple-
chase field.

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

Patriotism has so taken possession of DIR.
Fultons soul that he cannot refrain from
talking to-day about liberty even about the
beginnings of it as he finds it in the Bible
Mr. Giles will explain Che nature of the par
ables and the Lords reason for speaking
thus fguratively. The hem of the Saviour's
garment will be held up, fguratively, of
course, by Mr. Saunders, for his people to
touch and be healed. How many joys are
lost annually we shall never know, but the
backslider has lost one which Mr.. Johns
will recall and one which only the
Great Physician, whom Mr. Phelps
will introduce, can restore, and without
such restoration the last state of every back
slider as Mr.. Knapp will demonstrate, will
be worse than the first. But the Saviour's
manhood and His response to the thief's re-
quest on the Cross gives assurance to Mr..
Leavell, as it does to many others, that the
backslider need not despair. His treatment
of the Syrophenician woman, as DR.. Armi-
tage will show, illustrates the same truth.
But the opportunities must be taken as they
come; for, as Mr.. Kennard will make it ap-
pear, tomorrow may be too late to enter the
service of Christ concerning which Mr..
Merritt will speak The old question, How
shall the masses be reached? which has
puzzled so many of our ecclesiastical phi
losophers, will be asked and answered
again by Mr. Rowell. Mr.. Moody is
answering it, however, more practically than
any preacher in this land to-day. Faith and
unbelief, as illustrated by David and Goliath.
will be considered by Mr.. Barrett, infdelity
by Mr.. Lightbourn, and popular scepticism
by Mr. Egbert Whatever else the pillars of
the temple of truth rest on they do not rest
on broken cisterns, as Mr.. Lloyd will prove
nor can any one covered by the covenant of
grace live on bread alone, as Mr.. Hepworth
will make apparent. High prices will be
cut down by Mr.. Seitz friends in heaven
will be recognized by Mr.. Harris the coming
mighty crash will be averted by Bishop Snow,
and the repentance of Judas, as evolved by
Mr. Mccarthy, will show to what place he
went after he hanged himself DR.. Clarke, of
Albany, will define the relation of religion to
civil liberty, and Father Sheehy will show
| the relation of the Church to the Republic;
Father Ducey will present types of Christian
character; Mr.. Henderson will show that the
only catholic religion is that of science, and
Mr.. Cotter will go a step further, and prove.
to his own satisfaction at least that the re-
ligion of science is more conducive to happi-
ness than Christianity; Mr. Clark will bring
us news from the Cannibal Islands and Mr..
Britain from the lunatics of speculation, so
that the entire field Of isms and doxies will
be pretty well covered to-day.

ernment has taken against the extreme
republicans. But our news from Paris indi-
Gates that the moderate republicans do not
feel that the warnings apply to them.
They are delighted at the actual, even
though reluctant, recognition of the Republic,
and prove their acquiescence in the law of
January 81, 1875, by indorsing MacMahons
appeal for a fair trial of the constitutional
laws. Our Paris correspondent compares
the proclamation to cannon loaded with
water Cruel, which means that it hurts
nobody. The outlook for France is, there
fore, cheering, except in one very improba-
BILE event-namely sufficient number of
socialist republicans being elected to throw
things into chaos which the sword only
could settle. The Sc,1ain darrOndiSSemea

of the city government. 1t is known that
this government, as it stands, is the creature
Of the Tammany Society," secret oath
bound organization that studies only its own
purposes and not the welfare of the people.
As the people repudiated last fall the
tyranny exercised in the name of that soci-
ETY. over the courts, SO they wish to repu-
diate now the tyranny it exercises over the
administration of the city government. For
this purpose the demand is made for law
to fix the municipal elections in the spring
There are other good reasons for this change
in the date of the election but the reason
that the people wish to repudiate tyranny
is better than any. Will the republican
party, that has the majority in the Legisla-
ture, give the people this chance, or will it,
by the failure to do so, substantive the re-
port that it has bartered away its interest in
the honest government of this city for a few
Offices?
