As we have now a new management
in the Park Department it may be
we'll to revive the question whether the
splendid grass plots of the Central Park
should not be thrown open to the public
and devoted this summer to the recreation
Of the people instead of being kept for show
and for the profit, to somebody or other, Of
sheep grazing. In all the parks of Europe
the people are at liberty to walk over the
grass and the children are permitted to make
the grass plots their Fairgrounds. Why
should we not have the same privileges in
New York? What satisfaction is it to the
tens Of thousands who visit the Central Park
to see the tempting verdure and to be met at
every turn by the notice Keep of the
grass?" Let us have something like COM
mon sense in our park management and let
every inch Of the ground in Central Park
be devoted to the use of the masses The
Park is of no value to the people if it is to
be an iron bound parade round in which
the visitors are to be restricted to the hot,
dusty gravel paths, and in which every child
whose exuberant spirits leads it to make a
plunge among the daisies is to be subjected
to the rcbuke of Limerick gentleman in
gray uniform.

The Piper Murders.

The confession of Piper, the murderer of
Mabel Young which the HERALD announced
yesterday in advance of the other papers
comes upon the public with startling effect.
On the very eve Of his confession a motion
had been made for n new trial, and only a
few weeks ago he had written letter filled
with protestations of his innocence. 1t was
letter rich in Scriptural "reminiscences,
Astounding in pious quotations, and explain
ing his terrible position on the ground that
he had endeavored in his cowardice to es-
cape the charge of murder by falsehood.
This feeble defence failed Yet it is to be
admitted that the circumstantial evidence
against Piper was not sufficient to convince
the public ofhis guilt. Ifhe had been hanged
while declaring his innocence the people
might have supposed him to be the victim of a
mistake But, happily, any doubts of the
kind are extinguished. The man has not
only confessed that he murdered Mabel
Young in the belfry, but that he was the
assailant of MarwTyner and also the MUIR
derer of Bridget Landregan.
There can be little pity for this unhappy
man. He accuses himself of monstrosity, of
thirst for blood and torture, which was in
famed by opium and whiskey. This is a
confession which, it is very plausibly said, is
intended to convey the impression that his
crimes were.the result of insanity or uncon-
trollable impulses, induced by intoxicating
drinks. But this story will not do. A few
weeks ago this heartless criminal had the
insolence to write treacherous letter, filled
with Sunday school expressions, in which
he profcssed his affection for children, and
actually had the effrontcry to lament over
the death of Mabel Young. Now the con-
temptible scoundrel admits that he killed
Mabel Young and Bridget Landregan, and
attempts to escape the rope on the
plea that he was urged by an I'M
comfortable desire for blood, inspired by
the influence of opium and rum. This plea
Of irresponsible insanity will not excuse the
brutal and heartless assassin. He has dis
played too much sanity in his own defence
TO be considered lunatic in his apologies.
If ever any one deserved to be put ont of the
world it is, perhaps, this wretched being
who, according to his own statement,
has thirst for blood, and, according TO the
known facts, has an Unsuitable appetite for
the lives of innocent children. Even those
who are not in favor of capital punishment
in general, and who do not consider il re-
formatory agent in society, can hardly regret
the time when this hypocrite and monster,
the murderer of children, the assassin of the
innocent and pure, shall swing upon the
gallows, and rid the world Of one more
wretch who is unfit to live

When dinner had been finished, the EN-
peror and his party we're loaded once more
into their carriages, in waiting at Mr.. An
chinclosAs door, and were driven to the
match factory of the Swift, Courtney and
Beecher Co., 18th and Walnut streets, where
they spent a short time in inspecting the
production of matches.
They went thence, passing down Walnut
street to Pusey, Jones & Co. g, where half
hour was consumed in Watching the opera
tions of the several kinds of machinery.
This was most interesting sight to the
Emperor.
Washington Jones &Co.'s morocco fac
tory WAS next visited, and fiteen minutes
tour was made through the several depart
ments in the order in which the skins are
converted into finished leather.
The last place visited was the Harlan and
Hollingsworth Co.'s ship yard and Car
shops. Here a'half hour was spent in a
manner which seemed to deeply interest the
Emperor. The ponderous machinery es-
pecially engaged his attention as its several
offices were performed. Neither here nor
at any of the other workshops did any de-
monstrations occur, the desire of the visi-
tors being that the men should continue at
their work, and everything went on without
interruption. Some of the employees did
not even know that real live Emperor was
among them.
From the II. & H.. works the visitors were
driven directly to the depot, where they en-
tered the special car in which they came
and after taking formal leave of their Will
mington hosts they steamed away for Phil

ride were they in Market st. except to cross
