Too Much Government.

There may be, and probably is, much
good within the power OF the Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty TO Children. 1t Is
sad to think how much cruelty TO children
Is practised. And yet tho work Of such
society requires to be conducted with ex-
treme prudence. 1t is matter OF the ut
most dclcacy TO undertake, unasked, the
management OF other peoples children.
Such interference, unless clearly demanded
by circumstances OF the most urgent char
acter, is impertinent and Is. in fact, tres
pass upon the rights OF the natural guar
dians Of the children with whom II rneddies.
There does not appear to us to have been
either justification or excuse for the recent
attempt by force, TO prevent the numerous
children employed In the Italian opera from
dancing. The whole matter seems to re-
solve itself into the question whether we
shall have the best OF dancing or not. For
1t is the opinion OF those most familiar with
the subject that to make perfect dancers
children must begin very young.
SO far as the facts are made public the
children appear TO be kindly treated. They
are kept up late at night when they dance;
but, then, children cannot dance in the
opera without sitting up late.
II is nothing that Col MAPLEsoN was a
little airy when arrested. That can exert
no influence on the rights Of the parties.
He ought not to have been arrested at all.
II we have any act on our statute books
which gives color to such a proceeding,
such statute is an unwarrantable inter-
ference of the Legislature with natural
rights, and 1t ought to be promptly repealed.

We, in this city, have many things to be
grateful for We may well feel grateful that
we are in this city, instead Of being some
where else-for there is no other place on
the American continent like the city Of New
York.
We should feel thankful that we are well,
II we are well and II we are III, that we are
no worse.
Whether there is anything in the daily
press OF New York TO be thankful for, IL
might i'll become Us to say still, we may
be permitted to remark that outside Of New
York there is no such paper as the Daily
Times. Then again, it might argue a cold
or indifferent nature not to express our
thanks that our esteemed contemporary OF
the Herald has gone away SO far in search
OF news.
We are thankful for tho opportunity which
thousands enjoy to hear a good sermon this
morning and to play ball in the afternoon.
We are thankful that HAYEss adminis-
lration is one year nearer its close.
Above all other things we ought TO be and
are devoutly thankful that the Onc-Man
Power has been signally overthrown In this
city.
The proper way 10 manifest our = Sratltude
