The postponement of the mustang race
yesterday was disappointment to many
people who were anxious to see the display
of unfavorable weather were perhaps not as
influential as the fears Of Mr.. Henry Bergh
and his officers. That extremely benevolent
gentleman, whom no remorse prevents from
writing plays and offering them to managers
for the torture of the public, was deeply dis
tressed lest the mustangs of the Plains
should be cruelty treated by whip and bit
and spur. For the rider who undertakes to
ride three hundred and five miles in fif-
teen hours, with the privilege of using
thirty mustangs in that time, we have
not heard that Mr.. Bergh expresses
any pity. Yet the rider is likely to have the
hardest experience Of all. There is really
no cruelty inflicted on these fiery little
ponies, which enjoy the sport and only re-
quire to be under the control of the rider.
To torture them would be to insure the loss
of the race. But Mr.. Bergh's philanthropy
is carried to an excess in which it becomes
unkindness. He would spoil q legitimate
sport simply because lie is not acquainted
with its nature. The question is whether
the mustang should be ridden at all if it
is to be, then the appliances must be used
which experience proves necessary for tho
control Of the animal and the safety of
the man. We do not wish to appear
malicious, or we would suggest that
Mr.. Bergh should demonstrate his theories
by attempting to ride the meekest and mild
est of mustangs with an ordinary saddle and
bit. Don Quixotes charge on Rosinante
upon the windmills could not have had
result more unfortunate than that Of such
an experiment. But we viii not wish the
valorous President Of the Society for tho
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals this
calamity, but only hope that if the race takes
place tomorrow, as is announced, he will
have the good sense to remain away, or else
to attend as spectator only, and admire the
pluck and energy of the ponies and the bold
ness and endurance of the rider.

Do You BIT. Your Thumbs 1t M. ,

Do You Bite Your Thumbs II Me :
Our operate enterprises are apparently
sustained on one side and the other by re-
tainers as earnest and resolute in the cause
Of their respective houses as ever were the
supporters of Capulet against Montague /;
and if their swords are not always ready
they at least bite their thumbs at one an
other with q ferocity worthy the greatness of
the quarrel. In the communication signed
'Tair Play" we have the defiance, appar-
emily, of the Capulets of Mapleson-who
will not "carry coals"-and are disposed to
consider that Mr.. Strakosch bit his thumbs
at them in certain phrases of conversation
recently published in the HERALD
If . man may do what he likes with his
own of course he may bite his thumbs; but
if he bites them demonstratively and in
public no doubt the action may be made to
convey as much meaning as if he invited a
gentleman to tread on the tail of his coat or
knock chip off his shoulder. Moreover, if
there is good reason to believe that the action
is especially intended to be offensive or dis
agreeable to any particular person that per-
son acquires the right to call him to account
by every code of honor, though the quarrel
be only upon 1.-THE seventh cause" Nay, the
person thus assaulted is under obligation to
have it explained who the thumb was bitten
at. He may not only ''cavil on the ninth
part of hair" for that he could do in mere
trade. 1t is his duty
Greatly 10 find quarrel In q sham
When honor's at the stake
Therefore the case is fairly before Montague
Strakosch as presented in the cartel of "Fair
Play" and he may bite his thumbs again
if he means it that way; or if this explosion
Of the spirit of the Capulets alarms him he
may explain calmly that he bit his thumbs
without personal reference They will then
not directly pursue the case further; but we
warn him that they will lose no opportunity
to jump on the top rails of the world and
flap their wings and crow about it. But,
however the gentlemen bite their thumbs or
flourish their steel in this quarrel, we hope
no harm will come to the ladies. The Capu-
lets refer to Belocca in tone that is not
chivalric, to say no more. If we remember
the Montagues admitted Titiens great
achievements and great fame, and even said
that her voice had been too long heard to
leave any doubt of its quality. This hand
some admission is not reciprocated

with the Commune. which would certainly
be made against them if full pardon to the
exiles should be given, and the advocacy Of
the measure by Prince Napoleon will not
add to its strength with the Assembly. In
Parliament the liberal party is reluctant to
join with the Irish Home Rulers, who are
manauvring to gain something equivalent
to balance of power in the House Of Com
mons. though it would be glad enough to
use their votes against the Disraeli Ministry.
Thus political plots and counterplots inter-
fere in both countries with mercy.

THE LATEST OF STANLEY Henry NJ
Stanley has not been heard from since his
letters dated in April, 1876, and published
in the HERALD of November. They gave an
account of his explorations of the Lake Vic
toria Niyanza and its tributaries, and init
mated his intention to march directly west
ward to the Albert Niyanza, where he hoped
to meet with some of the party of Colonel
Gordon. He had then experienced bitter
hostility from some of the natives, but, at
the latest dates, was Hospitality entertained
by King Mtesa, who gave him royal re-
ception. After these letters were received
by rs Stanley passed into the darkness Of
Central Africa, and we have only the brief
glimpse of him in our cable dispatches from
London to-day. There was an envelope adj
dressed in his handwriting received by Col
onel Gordon, but it contained nothing but
some writing in an unknown hand, and in
very poor English. What this Enclosure was
the dispatches do not say, but the news
throws no light as yet upon the whereabouts
or success of the brave explorer.

Magistrate. That corrupting system will never
be abolished until men of standing and in
fuence in both political parties shall at
tempt to educate their followers into o
higher morality. This most necessary of all
reforms will never be carried except by
leaders who are so strongly intrenched in the
confidence Of their political parties that they
can give distasteful advice without FORGETTING
their influence as leaders A man like Mr..
Schurz, without party connections. with
out an assured position in the poll
tics Of the country, operating as a mere
outsider and skirmisher, supported only
by a small body of clergymen, col
lege professors and political eunuchs, can
make no impression on the settled practices
of parties. AS an eminent republican states
man, enjoying the confidence of other repub-
ican leaders, Mr.. Schurz might gain CO.
operation in such q reform, but as branch
Topped from the political tree and lying
upon the ground he cannot infuse into its
trunk the renovnting sap which might give
a different hue to its foliage. Political par
ties can be educated only by their own
accredited leaders. Sir Robert Peel, though
tory, carried the repeal of the Corn laws
Mr.. Disraeli, though . tory, carried the
second Reform bill, but what could either of
them have done if he had occupied an
isolated position like that of Mr.. Schurzi
The great mistake of Mr. Schurz's public life
was his desertion of his political party and
his consequent loss Of influence with all
citizens who remain in its ranks.
