The preparations for opening the Free River
Baths for men and women, to be malntaihe"
during the season ut the public expense, are
nearly or quite completed; and that Tor women
ot the foot of West Eeventh-st., will DC ready
to-day. These establishments furnish every
thing necessary for comfort and decency, but
nothing for Nleminate luxury. Possibly, as the
Repnblic advances in wealth and greatness, our
free baths may rival those of Greece anu Rome

finding out definitely whether this be tine or
not. and 1t must be admitted that thus far u

Free libraries immeasurably increase the mum

at the Cooper Institute are always largely at

yarly account of empty pews. A free exc'u-
sion and picnic brings the children in swarins.
OF course, hospitals and dispensaries are ire

same thing may be said in hard times OF free
soup kitchens but in matters which are not
of positive bodily necessity, we do not IN"

Nor do we think that in this direction we
are likely to go beyond the limits OF good
sense. The Roman plebeian demanded not
only bread and baths but also games. he had
a horror of all labor, except that OF the army.
During peace, he expected to be supported oy
the State, and when war came he PAID OH
the debt. We have no plebeian class, nor
are we likely to have. The men an women

this respect between even the weakest rail-
roads and the canal i, very great Really. The
whole traffic Of the canal is subject 10 cOmpe-
tition. But the immense local traffic OF the
railways, and the traffic which necessarily
comes to them because of their railway con-
nections, and the cost of breaking bulk and
shipment from the canal to the point Of de-
livery, form SO large part Of their business,
and supply so large part of their revenue,
tia. the contest must in any event be very
unequal. Add to this the fact that the trans-
porters by canal are not associated. have not
enormous reserves of capital and cannot 90

established dividend-payin stocks ~ security,
and it is apparent that the railways have
almost incalcnla0le advantages. They can
fight with each other, OF with the canals,
risiing only q small part of their enormous
capital aud resources while the cannl trans
porter must risk everything he has OF abandon
the contest.
Thus far, although rail rates have been the
lowest ever known, the gross earnings for
April aud May are larger than those of the
same months last year. This is in pnrt be-
cause low rates bring larger traffic; in part
because low through rates in many ways cause
large local traffic upon which no reduction is
made; ainl In part because the business OF last
year was also decidedly poor, especially in
April and May. How long the roads will be

the voice of the American People, in this sea-
