The first parade this season of the New
York Coaching Club, yesterday, was proof
that four-n-hand driving is a recreation
already firmly and permanently established
in this city. Nothing of the kind equal to
it in splendor has ever been seen in this
country, and it rivalled similar displays in
London. There were eleven coaches in line
some of them new and built expressly
for this season, and the procession,
led by the President of the club,
Mr.. Jay, and closed by Vice Pres
ident Kane, left Madison square in the
afternoon and returned to the Brunswick
Hotel in the evening, after pleasant drive
through Central Park. The weather was
not altogether favorable, but the ladies,
whose presence added to the beauty of the
spectacle, did not care for an occasional
sprinkling OF May shower. The interest
taken in this novel am usement by the pub
lie was shown by the fact that at least
twenty thousand people assembled on Fifth
avenue to see the parade, and that the
usual number of visitors to the Park was very
largely increased. Fortunately, New York
has many facilities for four-in-hand driving.
Fifth avenue only needs to be better paved
in parts to be magnificent road to the
Park, through which there are charming
drives, while for those who prefer long ex-
cursions there are the roads to New Ro-
chelle, Coney Island and other places, on
which the full speed Of a first rate four-in-
hand and skill in driving can be effectively
displayed. The Coaching Club deserves
congratulation on the brilliant beginning of
the season, and it is to be hoped that the
remarkable parade of yesterday will be fol-
lowed by others during the summer. The

the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic rs far

ffticth parallel. Rains have fallen on the
Middle and North Atlantic coasts, butdid not ex-
tend far inland. Light rains have also fallen in
the Missouri and Platte valleys, and III the
Southwest. The winds at all points have been
from fresh to moderate but owing to the move
mert Of many small disturbances were very
variable through the day. The low pressures in
the Northwest and of Nova Scotia have caused
the usual marginal winds in each case. The heat

the afternoon advanced north Of Tennessee and

Germany holds resolutely to the view
that the recent change in the French gov
eminent is menace to her, as to all other
Powers committed to policy with regard
to the Pope unacceptable to the ultranon-
tame party. In France, or at all events in
the government circles and in official utter
ances, it is maintained with the greatest
energy that this is not true, but that, on
the contrary, the change made has no rela-
ton whatever to the foreign policy of the
government. In this difference it must be
conceded that the Germans are at least the
more logical If the change made in Mac
Mahon's Cabinet has no relation to the
foreign policy Of France the ecclesiastical
agitators who helped to make this change
will be disappointed. They constitute the
party the President depends upon in his
defiance Of the party that is the ex-
ponent Of the opinions of the majority
of the people If they are disappointed they
will make their disappointment felt, and
upon what will the President and his Minis
try rest then? He has thrown over the
majority party and made it the enemy Of

an attitude of hostility to the constitution
and even to parliamentary government. By
the choice OF reactionary Ministry he has
even alienated and alarmed all those mod
crate conservatives who oscillate from group
to group Of the Centres. He has, therefore,
no support but one to be drawn from the
party Of the Right with priestly and royal
sympathies. They will not insist upon
programme with regard to royalty; but will
they support government that does not
accept their views as to Rome and the Pope
Not for a moment And if MacMahon ac-
cepts their views then he is on the ground
which the Germans allege he means to take,
and he is in collision morally with the Ital-
ian and the German policy. If he does not
change his foreign policy he is at issue with
the only party from which he can hope for
support, and he must fall. If he does
change his foreign policy he comes into col
lision with Germany. What course will he
choose?

tnlS claptfap ABOUT tine rights OF tne
people" 'the will of the majority" "popu.
lar sovereignty and so on is cant when
applied to such problem as how to make
New York healthy city. What sanitary
rights had the people under Tweed but the
right to die Of typhus or see their children
die Of diphtheria? What other rights have
they now under the peddling, twopenny
policy which is called government?
What we need in New York is a thorough
business government. That is to say all
matters connected with the machinery of
this vast city, with the lives, the happiness,
the health of million of people, should be
intrusted to business men, and not to the
leaders of the rumshop and the prize ring
1t is purely business matter. 1t is not
democracy nor republcanism that we need,
but common sense and honesty. Give us a
radical like Wendell Phillips, or a rebel
like jefferson Davis-we do not care about
his convictions on national affairs if he can
collect and expend the millions needed to
keep New York in order and give us the
best result for the money. This is the
point to which politics in New York city, SO
far as the city is concerned, is driy-
ing. When we see what London does
to become one OF the healthest cities
in the world; when we see what
Paris has done, and what it does
every day, to become the most magnificent
city in the world; when We think what New
York might become-as salubrious as Lon
don and as splendid as Paris--we are filed
with shame. There is but one cure. We must
build up party Of common sense and hon
esty. We do not want another Citizens AS
ISOLATION with its expenses paid by Sweeny.
We do not want another Committee Of
Seventy whose leaders are anxious about
Offices. We do not want ''reform" move
ments directed by men to whom reform
means salaries out of the treasury. We do
want liberal, simple, direct policy, and all
men should unita to labor tor it. In the
first place the city must be severed from its
dependence upon Albany. Let US have a
hundred-years charter, made for a century,
and no more annual charters, which are
blackmailing raids upon the treasury of the
city and the property of the people. Let
the government Of the metropolis be reduced
to business basis and the result will be felt
by the whole Union. Then we may look for
sanitary laws that will secure the people all
the blessings Of an unrivalled climate ard
situation. Then we may have rapid transit
which will bring Yonkers and New Rochelle
rs close to the Battery as Chiselhurst and
Seven Oaks are to London. Then the CON-
merce of the world may find our docks as
commodious as those of Liverpool. Then
we may hope to see our boulevard system,
the one thing of the Tweed regime for
which we may be grateful, carried out. Then
will New York be worthy of her regal seat
as the metropolis Of the American continent.
The first step in this reform is the adoption
Of thorough sanitary laws. Our rulers may
learn what they can do in this respect by
reading what has been done in London.

Our LONDON anu FuTis SauAs As-'
1t is something so unusual to see the mass
of French republicans sitting quietly down
and grinning at q time when, by all the
traditions, one should expect them to
be up in arms and vociferating, that
we cannot fail to call the worlds
attention to the spectacle. To see Mac
Mahon and all the old fogies whose shibbo-
leth is ''order and responsibility" going
around assuring people that they do not
intend to cut up murderous monkey shines
is funny enough, but that they should be
performing before an amused audience
of the large majority of Frenchmen touches
our risibles even over here. We do not
learn much this week of the Partisan
gayeties and social scandals that go on, no
matter who is in the Cabinet or who is
on the sidewalk, but we contend that the
picture of the fiery French republicans
waiting cool as cucumbers for their revenge
is treat because it is surprise. London
complains Of being chilly and of not seeing
the sun often, but we are somewhat sur
prised that our London correspondent
should deem the latter clause to be news
The impression here in America is that
Londoners do not see the luminary of day
more than once every five years, and that
then it has much the same effect on the IN
habitants of Cockneydom that IN eclipse
has on the Chinese Whitsuntide, we
believe, is one of the periods at which
the Cockneys go out to look for the
white sun--that is something different
from the usual red or yellow disk
s'shorn Of it's BEAMS" which Mr.. Milton, the
English poet, sung Of after he had seen the
genuine sun. during his travels in Italy.
We therefore conclude that the hundreds
of thousands who went out to the Lon
don suburbs last Monday came back
disappointed and that the scientific
old gentlemen Of the Greenwich OBJ
servatory who said they had seen the
sun twelve times in one hundred hours
told white lie, to soothe the discon-
ISOLATE Londoners by limiting that they were
not looking up at the right time. Fifty
years ago the matter would have passed
without comment, but when ignorance gets
faith in science it is apt to wreak
its disappointment on the scientist
who does not come up to their
expectations. dim idea that the time is
coming when the people will hang false
weather prophets may have inspired the
Observatory gentlemen's rash statement
We hope that the English people will have
shaped their resolution how to treat
General Grant before he arrives on their
shores. We are not sure that he
will care much whether My Lord Duke
calls on him first or last but SO they allow
him to have pleasant time without too
much boring and red tape he will be
pleased, for he can always please himself.
