PURE AIR ron room CHILDREN.
The Happy Youngsters that Enjoy tho Sea-
side snnitarium at Kocknwn

An enlivenng scene on Rockaway Beach
yesterday was the gamboing Of nearly 200 wo-
men and children. the guests O! the Seaside San
itarium. now an established institution. and one
OF the hest Of the many noble charities Of which
New York has good cause to boast. The surf
was excellent. the air was balmy. the skies were
clear and tho poor little creatures who had been
brought down TO the soashorc from the sitting
tenements to take new lease OF life in the cool
water and the pure ocean breeze we're as happy
rs birds. Their laughter. blending with the
roar Of the breaking waves. was music. and
thousands OF visitors thrOnged the beach to
watch them.
The Seaside Santarum Is large frame
hullding near what Is known as the lOurth
Kockaway Beach landing. and within n min
utc's walk OF the ocean. Ii was established four
years ago hy number OF charitable ladies Of
the cas-, side To- give relief to poor women and
children In the hot weather. and especially TO
provide the little children with means for en-
ioying an occasional breath of pure air and q
dip in the invigorntng water OF the ocean.
About 100 children are taken from the city to
the SAnitrium every day and about onc-tenth
house can accommodate 100 children with their
mothers, but there Is n pressing need OF moro
room. and this can be- provided with the eNpen-
diture Of IS 900. The land on which the Sani-
association is not dollar in debt. and nothing

Good Ont of Evil.

The assembling of such materials as were
met ut Syracuse to form n new political
organization was an experiment, and
reasonably or unrcasonably. some con-
siderable degree OF uncasincss was felt
ns to what might be the result Of it.
out Of this anxiety, however, a solid good
has grown. 1t has been made apparent
that nothing serious Is to be feared from II
political party organized without principles
Rnd without ideas. Its numbers will be
too few.
Many persons arc at present dissatisfied
with both the Democratic and Republican
parties; but they cannot be led or by mere
Idle defamation and irrational platforms to
unite themselves with new political move
ment.
The great mass OF people are influenced in
their political action by principle. The
Dflice seekers, large as their numbers are
constitute but small proportion OF
the whole community. They care for
pfice principally; but private citizens
rich and poor, a. n general thing
vote according to their conscientious con-
victions. A new movement. there
fore, to have any chance OF success,
must start with some declaration
pf faith which appeals to intelligent
people. The Convention at Syracuse has
hone nothing Of the kind; and fatal ten
tlency todisintcgration to appears in the party
nj the start.
Old-fashioned common sense ideas yet
prevail in the main. There Is not going to
be much disturbance until moro rational
movement OF some kind is started. Peace
and order will continue for the present.

Poverty Against Poverty.

A leading Republican journal observes
that the proposition to run Gen GRANT for
third term argues great poverty on the
part Of the Republicans in suitable material
for candidates. The point Is well taken. Gen.
GRANT was very deficient in the qualities
which ought to be found in President, and
his deficiencies were made apparent to tho
whole country. II the Republican party
has no more suitable candidate than Gen.
GRANT for 1880 il must be poor indeed.
This poverty OF men in the Republican
party would be not unlikely TO determine
tho result Of the next Presidential election,
were IL not for the fact that poverty Of
principle quite as remarkable, has recently
been made apparent in the Democratic
party. Indeed the Democrats appear
to be afraid Of principle. and to run from it,
majority Of the Democrats In Congress,
alarmed at the idea that all their fulmna-
tons against the frauds by which HAYES
was put into Office might be taken TO
mean something, passed resolutions declar-
ing his title sacred. The Pennsylvania
Democrats and Tammany Hall adopted sub
stantially the same resolutions as the Dem
ocrats in Congress. SO we see one party
poverty stricken In candidates. while the
other, with n surplus of candidates, has
become voluntary bankrupt in principle
Poverty against Povcrty-it is n poor

The Paris Congress on Literary Prop

The conference Of men OF letters lately
held at Paris under the Presidency OF VIC
TOR HUGO made it their main business 10
define the right Of property in books. What
they tried to hit upon was formula OF
practical utility which should satisfy the
claims Of the producer without sacrificing
tho interests Of the community. That no
such result is compassed by the definition
adopted, and that so far the Congress is Il
iaiiGs" seems TO be generally admitted
As matter Of abstract principle, 1t is
hard TO see why the composition Of a book
is not tantamount TO the creation Of n spe-
cies Of property. But an essential feature
Of property, in all countries whose social
system is founded on ndivdualsm, Is per-
potuity; but heretofore no country, except
MEXICO, has conferred upon an author a per-
petual right Of ownership in his produc-
tions. In Spain the period Of control is linn
tied to eighty years in France to fifty; else
where to a shorter term. Almost everywhere
proprietary rights have been curtailcd in
the interest of the reading communitywhich
might be infrnged through the purchase OF
a copyright from the authors heirs by those
dosirous of suppressing certain teachings.
1t WAS urged, for instance, at the Paris Con-
gross, that the circulation Of VoLTAIRE and
RoussEAu's writings would long ago have
been arrested II proprietary right could
have been bought by the reactonists.
80 much Importance was attached TO this
! consideration that the Congress- was on the

works should become public property

Of tho four rival delegations from this city that

The act OF expulsion was q sensible one.

sell them out. and whose purpose at
Syracuse was merely to practise their
