The land embraced in the Central Park
was taken and paid for by the city for the pur-
pose of insuring a breathing place for the
people in the heart Of the metropolis and
preventing the confinement Of large popu-
lation in straitiacket of streets and
avenues and heated bricks and stones.
These reserved spaces in great city, devoted
to health and recreation, have been aptly
called its '1ungs." They arc enjoyable to
all classes The rich probably make the
most out Of them, because they have leisure
to drive in them daily and to take advantage
constantly Of their pure air and we'll kept
roads. But public parks are not an actual
necessity to the wealthy, because rich
people live in spacious houses, located on
broad, healthful thoroughfares and if there
were no such open spots in the city they
could drive their fast horses and easy car
riages beyond the dusty streets into the
surrounding country roads. The poorer
classes, however. depend FOX the enjoy

MEyr. There is report that Mr.. Henry G.
Stebbins, who has been SO long connected
with the Park Department, is about to retire
from the commission, which has now passed
into the hands Of Tammany. It is to be hoped
that Mr.. Stebbins will do no such thing. His
services have been of great value to the peo-
pie, and as he is entirely familiar with the
wants and interests of the Central Park he
will be useful in board which may need
watching. His taste and judgment cannot
be ignored by his associates, and his intlu.
ence for good will be great. although he may
be in minority in the Board

PRESIDENTIAL TACTICS. If, as believed by
Mr.. Seymour, the West and South will
resolutely combine in the National Demo-
cratic Convention, it is probable that Mr..
Tilden, though very strong man, may not
get the nomination, for there are Southern
antipathies to Northern man that are diff
cult to overcome, and Western antipathies
to an Eastern man that are equally difficult,
and il these two are strengthened by mutual
support they can hardly combine on one
who is both an Eastern and Northern man.
But if he does not get the nomination for
himself Mr.. Tilden may still control it, for
his resolute support of either Bnyard or
Thurman, adding the strength he has to
their strength, will determine the choice.
He has two strings to his bow, therefore, and
cannot fail. with skill, to shoot the Presi-
Dental arrow as he pleases.

DARK HoRsEs. 1T is rumored that all the
leading candidates have an equal and natu-
ral dread of the dark horse which, as it is
SO commonly thought, is to carry off the
honors of the Presidential race. This APP
prehension has taken CHARACTERISTIC form,
and some candidates are actually training
dark horses of their own, with a view to con-
tingencies for the next best thing in the
mind Of any candidate to winning himself
is to have the race won by dark horse in
which he has the lively interest of owner
ship. Thus Mr.. Conkling is candidate of
great prospects, as the public knows, and
has the sympathy and support of the Presi-
dent: but it is limited that the Senator and
the President have agreed between them
selves on dark horse, whose triumph, pro-
cured by them, will be almost as satisfactory
as if it were their own, and that this dark
horse is Mr.. Fish. 1t is further thought
that Mr.. Blaine, not to be behind his adroit
competitor, encourages Hayes as dark
horse in his interest, and that this accounts
for the evident rapidity with which Hayes
comes to the front.

the illusions Of its projectors. 1t will
not be great business success. There
will not be vast increase in the business of
Philadelphia or New York. We shall have
few visitors from Europe. A half dozen past
fairs and a new one to come in France will
satisfy our friends over the water. The
prostitution of business in this country arises
from causes which no worlds fair can rem
edy. We do not expect much of the "recon-
ciliation" that was to spring up between the
North and South under the Centennial
towers. We are not surprised to learn that
outside of the unusual number Of invited
guests in Philadelphia there is even now no
extraordinary crowd of strangers. AS prac-
tical show for purposes of gain, with the
hope of large revenues the Centennial Ex-
hibition is o failure, and we have no idea
that any of the money will be returned to its
owners. This does not disappoint us, forw
have supported the movement from the out
set, believing what we now believe as to its
success financially We felt then as we do
now, that if every dollar invested in the Elk
hibition were to be lost it was still
glorious and noble thing to do. We were
glad to show to sister city and
sister State that we recognized their his
toric precedence in the events of the Revolu-
ton. We believed that it would have been
unpatriotic in every way to allow this mo-
mentous year to pass without recognition.
We were anxious to show the artifcers Of the
world that if we failed at Paris and Vienna
and London it was our misfortune and not
our fault. We felt that we could show the
world that we were q much greater people
than we were supposed to be in many things
and much smaller in some. We wanted our
workingmen to see that with their boosted
skill there WINS scarcely q land which could
not teach them something. Finally, we be-
lieved that the Centennial Exhibition even
though not dollar was returned, was the
thoroughly American thing to do. We re-
joice, therefore, in its success, and we send
our friendliest greetings to the hundred
thousand enthusiastic spectators. who this
morning will make the Lansdowne woods
ring with their rejoicings, as amid the ring
ing of BELLS the thunder Of cannon and the
tumultuous melody of Wagner's ''March,"
the President will throw our flag to the
breeze and officially declare the Great Exhi-
bition open to all the world.

The OUTRAGE ON GENERAL Cusr1R con.
tinues to excite the attention of newspapers
everywhere. At least three-fourths of them
bitterly denounce the President for his cruel
and autocratic action against the gallant In
dian fighter. Even the papers friendly to
the President speak Of the affair as one
which need not have occurred, and are sorry
that he should have been injudicious at q
moment when his party depended upon him
for wisdom. Something was due to public
opinion, which is just now very sensitive to
any needless exposure Of private spleen in
its servants. There are few papers which
defend the President on technical grounds,
bit the people will not easily be convinced
that in Furnishing General Custer the Presi-
dent did not really commit an outrage on
themselves President Grant is not at this
day in position to put himself in contrast
with any faithful military or civil officer be-
fore popular opinion. The odds are against
him, and he will suffer with little effort on
his own part. That he acted angrily and
unwisely seems to be his own late opinion
for, MS will be seen from our st. Paul de-
spatch, he will permit General Custer to
accompany the expedition, not rs its COM
mander, but az o subordinate-that is, Gen
eral Custer goes in disgrace, being permit
ted to fight, but to fight only under punish
ment This last bit of news shows weak
ness and apology on the part of the Presi-
dent. but it does not wipe out the stain with
which he has covered himself.
