Old man TWEED has not yet forgotten his
cunning, and, if reports bo true, he has spent
his leisure hours in figuring out new Ring
through which he hopes to escape from Jail
and assume position once more. 1t will be
remembered that he refused to testify before
the Investigating Committee appointed by
tho Legislature, though he comes up smiling
at the beck of q committee OF Aldermen.
This is assumed to be due to the machine
tions of the anti-T11DES faction and JOHN
For, who IS preparing political holocaust
for JOIN MoRR1ssET. TwEEp's testimony
does not differ from that refused by Attor-
ney-General FArRcH1Ip, but at the coming
Convention FA1RcHnn is to be thrown over
board and man nominated who will cs-
TEEN TwEED's revelations es Of portentous
importance, and order the old rogue's re-
lease If the new Ring is successful, there
need be no surprise when Mr. TWEED plnces
his hand on his heart and announces him
self at the head of it.

Of 1900 aud 1910 our war of 1879; the
Greek war of 1922; the civil wars of Spain

the french invasion of Algiers; the Franco
Belgic war against Holland; the Polish in

whether he has made out any case against the
press. If the newspapers have absorbed all
the literary talent Of the period, they must
be the best qualified to discharge the func-
tions of criticism. It is nonsense for AIr.
Bouc1cAuLr to maintain that the bowling
mobs that judged plays in olden times were
more intelligent critics than the gentlemen
who at present discharge similar duties.
The whole history of the drama teaches that
criticism has always been, as it always must
he, characterized by 1nalevolence, Ignorance,
spite, and prejudice, as we'll as by wide
information, accurate judgment, and gen.
erous disposition. Critics arc weak and
fallible as we'll as dramntists, or actors, or
painters, or poets. The class cannot be
described in ono phrnse; and Mr. Bouc1~
oAu1r, it seems, cannot describe it fairly in
ten pages of big review.

In a pouring min, and followed by a long
and mourning procession, the remains Of
LOUIS ADoLPHE THHRs, ex-Presidcnt OF
France, were yesterday conveyed to the
grave. Hundreds Of thousands lined the
roadwnys, testifying by every mark of re-
spect their appreciation Of their loss in ''the
historian Of the Revolution" and at the
cemetery speeches by some of the most
eminent men in the Republican Empire
made the imposing ceremony moro i'm
pressiye. The only evidence of feeling
was manifested by the Archbishop of
Paris, who refused to permit the use Of
the 31adeline for the funeral services. which
were held at the parish church of Notre
Dame de Lorette. During the service and
while the procession marched to the grave
all was quiet and all respectful. There was
no political demonstration, and the body OF
the dead statesman was laid away lecently
and i'll order, without provoking any of the
disturbances TINT might be expected of Paris
in such troublous times.

l.
Tie efforts to organize the workingmcu o.
Chicago for political uses in tie fall cam
paign have SO far resulted in confusion
which VIC almost hopelessly seek to unravcl
There ARC three distinct movements which
as yet l,ave failed to meet on common ground
There is the National Workinsnen's party
though this has not fairly got started here
but fully intends to; indeed, Mr. B1AHro,
DUNCAN wants the woriingmen TO help him
move Ills paper mp here from Louisville
This is the party which has held Conventions
in Baltimore, Cincinnati, aud other cities, anG
which has Illuminated the most startling de.
1nands of Communistic nature Throughout
the country. Then there are two local or
ganizations. One, called the Workinenleu'k
Party" is the old Commuuistic association
under the VAN PATTES and his confreres. md
has ward clubs scattered through the CITY :
this crowd proposes to hold convention,
which shall be made up OF delegates elected
by the ward societies the programme
is that the Convention, so constituted, shall
nominate ticket, which shall then be sont
back TO the ward societies for ratification Or
rejection, something after the old Confeder.
alton prnctices. The other local oreaniza-
ton Is known as the "Labor League" and.
as it is under the control of the trades.
unions, is perhaps more properly the repre.
sentative of the workingmen, though ve in
not rouch for this. This crowd is to hold a
convention to-day, but will probably pro-
ceed no farther than some speech-makinc
and An attempt at organization; the nonina.
ton of i county ticket will almost surelv ha
postponed.
Thus are the workingmen at the present
writing divided against each other. Whether
or not they shall succeed in forming O iunc-
tion and III presenting solid front as new
political party, with q county ticket in the
field, cannot be foretold with any certainty.
Il consolidation be accomplished, it will
probably be through the Intervention
OF the National Worlingmen's party,
so-called to which the local organizations
may subordinate themselves. Even if this
Junction can be made, there is no indication
that the new party will be formidable in the
eoaAAS electlon. Judging By similar efforts
IN the past they will cut no particular figure;
1or there hare been workingmen's tickets in
eneago before, and uniformly with the re-
suit OF polling about the same number of
votes as CHARLES O'Coson or PETER Cooprn
IN their Presidential races. Whether th;s
