lot OF slckly English humanltarians have
got it into their heads that It is cruel to set
tramps to breaking stones, because the labor is
too hard and the tramps are unaccustomed to
it. The London DAILY Telegraph aptly says
that there must be beginning some where
and the tramps must be made to be accustomed
to 1t. Why not make them accustomed to it =?
They don't find roaming around the country
robbing and plunderIng, assaulting unprotected
women and committing all manner of outrages
too hard work: then let them have stone
breaking or the treadmill for diversion Such
cures are as much wanted here as IN England.

The President, borne down with
the anxiety and labor Of recruiting,
and supplying the army, which was
doing SO little, in inspiring the coun-

of military success, in wardiDg off The
blows of radical friends, and in re-
conciling political differences among
bis supporters, many of whom were
opposing instead Of Strengthening and
supporting bis measures. began TO

likely to succeed in the political cam

Entering his Office on one OF these
days, when it was evident that Nc
Clellan was to be nominated by the
Democrats when reverses prevail
ed, when affairs were dark, and
many friends on whom he felt the
Government ought to be enabled TO
rely were desponding-some OF them,
like Greeley. proposing impTaetiesble
schemes, and not very creditable
terms for peace, and others were
complaining because more unrelen-
ting course was not pursued-when
the Democrats were assailing him
for arbitrary measures, and both
Democrats and radicals were accusing
bin of usurpatioEs and holding him,

storm which threatened the Union

1t is now authoritatively announced that the
French Exposition will lose money. We are
not surprised at this int, lligence; neither are
we sOrry, though, in general way, every one
should be glad to see such enterprises succeed
beyond the expectations of their projectors.
But i'll this case there was from the very first
such manifest determination on the part of
PariSianS to bleed and Swindle every visitor to
the city, that the financial failure of the Expo
Sition was not only natural but deserved.
The history Of all entertainments depending
Tor success ON the patronage OF the public at
large, COIc!usiyely demonstrates that no fea-
ture iii their management Is so certain to yield
large returns as the very extreme of Hberality
and fair dealing toward that public, not only
on the part of their directors but also on the
part of every other line of business collaterally
interested in their success. AT such places
the man who feels that he is getting the full
worth of his dollar, or more, will cheerfully
spend two or three in addition; whereas he
who feels that he is being gOuged will Sullenly
restrict LIS expenditure to the first dollar,
even If ho does not cut it down to fifty cents.
This almost universal line of conduct was IN.
derstOOd and acted upon at Philadelphia with
the most satisfactory results. The French and
Austrians will get it through their thick heads
byeand-bye, after few more disastrous and
disgraceful failures.

The legislature of Newfoundland has offered
an annual subsidy of $4,000 and liberal land
grants to any company which will construct
railway from st. Johns to the west coast of
the island. Such railway connecting by
steamers with the mainland would have an
important influence not only in developing the
vast mineral and timber resources of New
foundland but also in entering new and
formidable competitor into the list of routes,
aiming to be recognized as the great highway
between Europe and America. The point
from which it is proposed that shipments for
English ports shall be made is nearly thou
sand miles nearer to Europe than New York
is, and the part Of the voyage between New
York and Cape Race, where so many disasters
have occurred, is avoided. The time is coming
when mails, at any rate, must be sent from
one continent to the other by the shortest sea
route. But under the most favorable crcum-
stances it will be long before the Newfouad.
land route can come into competition with
our Own. And by the time the railroad is
completed, assuming that it will be begun.

the news from the Rio Grande of dash into

thirsting for gore on the part of the Mexican
people, OF a maSSing of the Mexican troops for
resistance, and everyone listens for the first
notes OF war. The Chicago merchants meet
