whole scheme of social life is not blunder,
if we are not all existing under an enormous
misrepresentation, if this great City OF New
York is not gigantic monument of human
folly, why is not q life spent in developing its
resources and multiplying its comforts ana
opportunities wisely spent That wealth
should come with such work as MIR. Wander
bilt did was q matter OF course; no man
works without an aim; if no personal advan-
tage should ever accrue from toll, all the worlds
millions would sit from generation to genera
ton with folded hands. All the servants OF
man expect their wages, and those who DO
the largest service expect the most; but
why should we unfairly predicate OF
any worker that he works only Tor
hiref We suspect that, Oftener than
is supposed, the money-maker believes his vo-
cation to be honorable and useful without re-
gard to his immediate and material gains. 1t
is true that he seldom sounds a proclamation
of his disinterestedness, for usually he Is not
n man given to display of that kind; and pos
sibly in his own mind his motive has not dis
tinctly shaped itself He found the virtues OF
his career established and acknowledged and
written in the worlds code when he came
mon the stage, and he follows IN the we'll
defined path which has been trodden by the
feet of innumerable predecessors. Whatever
estimate society, in one of its periodical hts
of morality, may put upon wealth, the world
never for an instant proposes to abandon COM
mcrce, trade, the building of railways, the
sailing of ships, the handling in masses OF the
productions of the earth. Let us be just to
those who are our guides and Overseers in this
work.
We may set an inordinate value upon wealth,
and so we may upon many other things
fame, learning, social position. personal COM
fort-all for which, in one way or another, the
children of men are tOilng.

THE TRIBUNE FOR NOTHING.

There are several thousands of Young Mems
Christian Associations, Benevolent Guilds, Free
Reading Rooms, and other excellent and
praisewOrtby societies and institutions in the
United States. That so many of them should
desire to be served through the POst-Otfice
regularly with THE TRIBUNE, in one or the other
of its different forms, is exceedingly creditable
to the good taste of the managers; and that
we should be so often asked to supply the
newspaper without money and without price,
proves a confidence in our generosity which
would be highly gratifying, if only we could
feel that it is deserved. 1t is rather remarka-
Bile that this confidence should be so general,
nor can we account for it except upon the
theory of a mistaken idea that the mannfac-
ture of THE TRIBUNE costs nothing, and that
it is charitaby printed merely to give away.
And yet most applicants for free copies are
good enough to say that it is valuable"
One secretary writes " Should You conclude
" to forward copy of your valuable paper, 1t
"will be our motto to enlarge to our neigh
"bOrhOOd the benefits received through your
"columns." We have not concluded to for
ward a free copy to the Y. NJ. G. A. from
which the above request proceeds. Ii we
should, and all the neighborhood should read
it for nothing, how much should we gain by
the Associations explanation of the benefits
received through cur cOlumnsW
Here, again, is postal card fro Minnesota
asking us to confer a favor by donating
copy of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE for the present
year for the benefit of Free Reading Room
Association. If we decline to "dOnate," we are
requested to state our "lOwest cash subscrip-
" ton price, We presume that the secretary
who makes these requests has seen The
WEEKLY TRIBUNE, and if so he might easily
have informed himself of " the lowest cash
" Subscription price,"
Both the associations are local in their
character, and should be supported by local
lberality. We cannot be expected to know
anything of their merits, nor would these gen.
tlemen ask us to give $12 or even 81 year
toward their support. Yet we are substan-
tally asked to give what costs us this money
to send THE TRIBUNE gratis, paying the
hostage on it, to societies which may be highly
meritorious, and may be also mere temporary
humbugs. We would not be disrespectful, but
pray how are we to tell |? We trust that SINH
lar charities everywhere will see the absurdity
of such requests, which are never likely to be
favorably considered.

FIGHTING FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

War talk has failed for a space, but the Sth
of January approaches, and with 1t comes the
Democratic uprising, and when the Democratic
party uprises in concert it can be relied upon
to do something indiscreet. There will be
resolutions and addresses and memorials and
much oratory, and unless the Literary Bureau
subugates itself pretty thoroughly there will
be breathings forth of threatening and slaugh-
ter If these manifestations should brighten
some nervous citizen from his propriety, and
incline him to sell his bonds or to con-
vert and condense his property into dia
monds. or to skip over into Canada
to avoid draft, he would do well
To compose himself for some preliminary
reflection. This race of ours is not addicted
to war as a pastime. There is plenty of fight
in Anglo-SaxOn blood, but the fighting is
ALWAYS done for something which appears, at
least, to be worth fighting for. 1t can be
safely affirmed that no considerable fraction
of the American people will take up arms for
any "leadero They once did fight for the
Union on one side and for the principle of
State rights ON the other but no one ever
dreamed of fighting for Mr.. Lincoln or Mr..
Davis They fought to settle principle, and
they settled it. A regiment of Mexicans

necessary.

The Treasury at Washington put at the
work of counting money packages ii gentleman
whose reputation seems to rest On single
achievement in breaking a bank. He had
plenty of opportunities for carrying off consid-
cradle sum, as he finally did. The fact that he
has returned almost all of the money may
highten little the public estimate of him, but
it does nothing to help the officials who put a
man of such record in such place.

The Conference meets to-day at CONSTANT
nople for probably the last time. The decision
winch the members came to on Saturday even
ing, to make no further concessions, will sim
plify THEN labors. The Turks are likely TO be
obstinate, since they have acquired the notion
that Russia is unprepared for war; but their
stubbornness will only serve to convince Europe
that the occupation of Bulgaria is imperatively
necessary.

Uncle William Alien has risen up for the

When President johnson had anything par
ticular TO say, so the story runs, he sent for a
newspaper correspondent and freely offered
himself up for interrogation. Nobody read his
messages, he said, but everybody read the in
tor,ie,vs. President Grant seems to have
odopted the same pleasant habit. We have
this morning another of his brief supplement

Associated Press reporter. While the subjects
discussed are not of the greatest importance,
the opinions of President always come under
the head of interesting reading"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-01-08

If the investigation of the Ashtabula disas-
ter by a committee of the Ohio Legislature is
thoroughly carried out it may add materially
to the prospect of getting at the cause OF the
bridge giving way. The other measures
adopted and introduced during Saturdays
session at Columbus seem judicious, especially
the proposition to have brakes on all the
passenger trains. While the ordering Of
standard kerosene for lights on the
train would unquestionably lessen danger
of fire from that source, it might be
better to go back to the Older, safer
system of candlelight, except for the headlights
of the locomotive. A greater danger OF fire, in
case tram is wrecked, is from the stoves III
use on passenger cars. The burning fuel from
the stoves is believed to have lighted the
flames at Ashtabula. 1t should be within the
range of American ingenuity to invent stove
that would retain its fuel when tumbled about
or even upset.
