New Coney Island.

It was once q favorite joke of the send
man" at the minstrel show to declare, with
an affectation Of extreme gentility and
fashion. that he resided in Baxter street,
dined' on fshballs and spent his summers
at Coney Island. The grotesqueness Of the
humor that could suggest Baxter street as q
fashionable neighborhood, fshballs as o
rare epicurean diet and Coney Island as a
watering place never failed to ''bring down
the house" Everybody knew as matter
of fact that fshballs were cheap boarding
house fare, that Baxter street was slum
and that Coney Island was notorious re-
sort of blackguards and thimbleriggers.
For either OF the three to be considered in
any more respectable figure was a moral i'm
possibility that gave point to the minstrel's
humor. To have recovered from this repu-
tation and to have suddenly achieved not
only popularity but responsibility and even
fashionable position is the feat that makes
Coney Island to-day the most remarkable of
American sensible resorts.
A sketch of the recent improvements is
given elsewhere. The chief attraction of
the new resort is its accessibility from New
York. No seaside in the world has SO vast
population within such easy distance.
Brighton, Margate and Ramsgate are all
less accessible from London, both in point
of time and distance. With regular and
rapid transit the Coney Island beach ought
to be brought within three-quarters of an
hour of this city, and unless the managers
of the new enterprise greatly underestimate
the value Of this feature they will make it
an accomp lished fact next summer.

The List OF Rankrunts.

Our list of newly adjudged bankrupts is
long enough to frighten the timid, while
the proportion of assets to liabilities is
small enough to make many dealers curse
the memory of the man who first gave
credit and invented the system Of buying
without money But the truth is that the
creditors of these bankrupts are no
worse off than they were months
ago. 1t is Of the highest impor-
lance to business that every dealer
should know how many, if any, of his &C.
counts are worthless; but pride. hope and
an occasional mistiness on the subject of
honesty have impelled many debtor to
make promises and Efforts when his case
was really hopeless, and so fictitious assets
have been carried in account books as
property to create disappointment and gen.
eral mistrust. The great number of insol-
vencies that have been acknowledged un-
der the Bankrupt law during the past
month have, without decreasing real
values single penny, revealed the
true condition Of claims amounting
to many millions Of dollars, and this fact
will do much toward restoring that conf
dence which justiiable suspicious have been
dissipating ever since the panic of 1873.
Probably the only insolvents who have not
availed themselves of the law are those who
could not afford theexpenses of bankruptcy,
and these; are practically in the same posi-
ton as thosewho; have filed petitions. Ia
regard to this matter of bringing the truth
to light the repeal of the law was certainly
advisable.

Elevated railways are useful as subjects
for speculation, the employment of labor
and the entertainment of country visitors
and small boys 4 they are also good to swear
at in different ways but as their primary
object ia supposed to be the transporta-
ton of passengers the HERALD gives
this morning such views and reflections
as can be obtained from the insides Of the
cars. The great number Of trains which
traverse the roads each day, their COM
Portable appointments and high rate of
speed, the uniformity with which they
make their schedule time, and the freedom
from accident which has SO far happily
characterized the aerial method of travel,
increase the public Interest in this form of
locomotion and cause every one to wish
we'll to the enterprise which offers 50 great
an improvement upon horse car travel.
Noise is still complained of, but the
passenger experiences lively sense Of
the true nature Of gratitude as he realizes
that this disturber considerably remains
outside the cars, and annoys only those who
prefer TO contemplate the trains from adj
jacent windows, while the workingman,
who begins his labors ut seven clock. will
probably be reluctant to abuse capital
which runs road that transports him to
his work in a third of the time occupied by
the horse cars, and thus allows him to
leave home later and return earlier.

The grave importance of the struggle
now going on between oil monopolists and
oil producers is shown by the fact of the
appearance of the Governor and Attorney
General of Pennsylvania at Oil City. where
the producers were in convention, and by
speeches by these officials, in which was
admitted the necessity of protecting the
interests Of producers. 1.-The United Pipe
Lines" are to explain in court within
fortnight by what authority they
claim exclusive right to move oil
from wells TO railway depots through
out oil the important portions of
the oil region. AS the name of the cor
poration alluded to is not clearly indicative
of its work readers should be informed
that the cheapest manner of moving oil
from the tanks at the wells to the great
tank railway cars, by which nearly all oil is
brought to the refneries, is to force it
through iron pipes, and that a large cor
poration so controls pipes and their termini
that the producer must either patronize the
company or let his own tanks overflow and
his oil go to waste. Between this company
and the combination which controls sales
and prices ut tidewater the producer seems
to be deprived of every independent inter-
est in his own property. Such state Of
affairs would be considered outrageous even
in the case of some minor article of general
use, but when it affects staple which ranks
next in importance, for export purposes at
least, TO cotton and breadstuffs, there
can be but one opinion about it, which is
that it should be changed at once, by pri-
vate effort If practicable, but otherwise by
national legislation. The matter is not
only one of national importance but is so
in a very large sense.

Over one hundred thousand children
regularly attend the public schools, in this
city and are distributed in one hundred
and fourteen edifces. Perhaps the exact
number of pupils who will apply to be
received in the schools, about to open,
will be large enough to give an average OF
one thousand to each schoolhouse. Since
many of the places used for schools are
not large enough to accommodate anything
like this number many others must have
number considerably in excess Of 1t. With
even this provision made it is even possible
that large number of those for whom in
struction is sought must be turned away for
want Of room. But hundred public schools,
with thousand children slowed away in
each for six hours day in single city, is q
subject to 'give us pause" from several
important points of view. For the moralist
and political philosopher it is a fact worthy
all his attention; but for those more prac-
tical persons, the fathers and mothers.
and the health officers and architects, it
presents more Immediately salient points.
We believe the provisions made for the
escape of these little ones in case of any ac-
cident are such that all persons with tender
hearts may fervently pray that there shall
be no fires AS for the hygienic aspects Of
the case the provisions for warming and
ventilation they could not well be worse
If the system was intended to provide for
the cultivation on an enormous scale of
fevers and infammatory diseases.

a mn Q riem % Art.

A valuable lesson can be learned by
American artists, and one which when &C.
quired will greatly raise the art of shis
country in the worlds estimation, il they
will but take the advice implied in the
criticisms of French art writers on the
display Of American pictures ut Paris.
These gentlemen express their establishment
at the unconditional character of the collec-
ton as n whole, and especially at the lack
of pictures representing the different types
of the people of the country, their manners
and customs. One well known writer,
Jules Claretie, has even gone so far as TO
say, "But, to speak frankly, in the display
of the United States at the Exhibition Of
1878 there is little or nothing to be seen be-
yond q mere imitation of our French
painters" The appreciation shown by this
critic, as by the others, Of the truly Amcri-
can genre pictures of Messrs. J. G. Brown
and Winslow Homer indicates the compare
lively unworked field which will bring
credit and fame to those who will labor ear
nestly in it. That it is graf one, and,
indeed, slightly worked, is shown in the
timely and suggestive article in our art
columns this morning.
Many of the artists will object that such
pictures rs are spoken of in the article
alluded to would not sell, but the pros
perity of the few painters who have painted
American genre contradicts this. Besides,
excellent work of this kind will command
good prices abroad, rs Mr.. Boughton has
shown us, and it would be more noble on the
part of our strong young men IL they took
M home subjects, instead OF giving us imi-
tations designed to catch the popular fancy
for foreign subjects and treatment.
special aptitude for certain classes of work
will always draw and keep some Of our best
men abroad, where the recognition Of talent
in such cases has been most cordial but
the greater part Of our artists would be
more respected il they we're more them
selves and Of the soil.

Mr.. Kelly Ackn owiedges Himself =
Dictator.

Mr.. Kelly Acknowiedge Himself .
Dictator.
Mr.. Kelly in his letter to the HERALD on
the Mayoralty said that he would not name
a candidate for Mayor for these reasons =
He is IAN active democrat" and therefore,
of course, only one democrat; 'the
democratic party does not believe in one
man power - it would crescent the pro-
posed exercise of dictatorial authority"
Now, if we take Mr. Kelly at his word,
take his words in the plain sense they bear
on their face and without giving them any
Interpretation drawn from the common
knowledge Of the facts of his position in
politics; take them just as they stand at
their best, they are full of unpleasant incon-
sistencies. For instance, if any given demo-
crat is only one plain democrat like the
rest one man in party that easily de-
posits hundred thousand votes-in what
sense is the expression of his preferences as
to the candidate for Mayor the exercise Of
a dictatorial authority" What relation has
the expression OF such preference to the
democratic party's jealousy OF zone man
power?" Does every democrat who names
a gentleman whom he would like to see
Mayor of the city thereby assume zone
man power over his party and does he ex-
ercise dictatorial authority" over the other
ninety-nire thousand nine hundred and
nine,y-nine democrats If he does the party
is wonderful combination of dictators, sup
posing that democrats have the freedom
that men generally possess in these parts Of
forming and speaking their own opinions ;
and if they dare not form such opinions, if
party discipline denies this right, are they
freemen at all Blu. if the declaration of
preferences as to candidates by oil the other
democrats is not the exercise of a dicta-
torial authority and the declaration of an
opinion by Mr.. Kelly is an exercise Of die
tatorial authority"-then Mr.. Kelly holds
position in his party widely different from
other democrats-a position that makes his
word their law, and thus we find Mr.. Kelly
plainly acknowledging in his letter the
truth of our allegations, acknowledging in
the spirit of his answer that one man power
which is denied in its words.

Whatever superior abilities our English
cousins may possess are not manifested in
railway management In spite of money,
system and numerical force of employees.
their railways are the scenes of fully as
many accidents as our own. The collision
reported this morning seems to be as much
due to gross stupidity or carelessness as
any accident upon a mismanaged American
road. For fast train, crowded with pas
sengers, to dash into line of freight cars
in motion at u switch, and in broad day.
light, too, is more than any one can ex-
plain without severe reflections upon
either engineers or pointsmen. The
English plan of putting mere stok-
ers in charge of locomotives, in
stead of confiding trains to men who
are able to think and decide, as well as
to handle engine levers, is doubtless to
blame for many accidents; but even the
loss Of eight lives and injury to thirty
others, which resulted from this latest COL
lision. are nowhere near influential enough
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1878-09-02

to change the English method to the safer
one in vogue on all American roads. The
American locomotive engineer is generally
possessed of the qualities which distinguish
the able soldier or sailor. and his firemen
are nearly always superior in intelligence
and technical knowledge to the English
stoker, to whom is confded the lives and
property upon railway train. England's
dismal roll of disasters on the rail should
urge her managers to improve their system,
even by the humiliating method of borrow
ing an idea from America.
