young lady did not object, he would he

THE GOSPEL or TRUE GREESBAcKIsM ABLY
ENPOUNDED.
The courthouse was filled last night by
Democrats, Republicans and Nationals for
the purpose of listening to an address by
Judge VIM. j. Allen, the Democratic can
didatc for congress,
On motion Of Judge Green Mr. Oberly
was called to the chair After u few words
of good cheer, the chairman introduced
Judge Allen, who was received with ap-
plause. The Judge at once entered upon
q discussion of the issues involved in the
canvass, and spoke ably for about
two hours and half, holding
the crowd and convincing all that he was u
true representative Of a wise greenback doc
trine rs contra-distinguished from the dis
iointed fooiAhness Of the National doctrines
as cxpoundcd by men like Mr.. $, |, Davis,
He charged upon the Republican
party the responsibility for the
financial legislation Of congress since
1862, and reviewed that legislation, showing
that it had inflicted great evils upon the
country. He favored the repeal Of the
strengthening act OF 1862 the taxation Of
government bonds; the retirement of the
National bank circulation, and sub
stitu,ion Of greenbacks Tor their bills;
the repeal of the resumption act;a enlarge
ment of the volume OF the currency; re-
formation of TIE Indian policy; the Texas
Pacific railroad; the improvement Of the
Mississippi river and legislation in the in
tcrest of the Mississippi valley.
We cannot give even synopsis Of the
Judges speech, but We assure those who did
not hear it that they lost an opportunity to
listen to a very thorough. fair and able dis
cussion of the issues prominent in the pend
Ing canvass

or contagious diseases as may be brought
from the South by river or rail
After considerable discussion and ey.
change Of views by the gentlemen present.
DR.. Rauch said tat as regard, the hospital.
he hoped there would be no use for IT, and
possibly there would nOtbe, but the present
atmospheric conditions were such that we
were not free from danger, and he
thought that II would be well to be prepared
for any emergency, and though the state
board was poor financially it would con
tribute as literally to the support Of a
hospital as It's limited means would allow.
Dr. Owens Of the Illinois Central said
that his corporation was willing to do any.
thing the city might ask that was in rerson.
in aid Of the establishment and support of
u hospital, and in case the city failed in Its
efforts, or until such time as hospital
could be put in order, the Illinois Central
was prepared to take care of any cases of
yellow fever that might be brought north
by the trains Of the Chicago, St. Louis and
New Orleans road Ifany person afflicted
with this fever should come, they
will be treated in some isolated
place on the other side of the river.
AT the conclusion of Dr. Owens remarks
Dr. Dunning offered resolution requesting
the chair to appoint commt,cc,to be made
up OF representatives Of the city, state,
United States and Illinois Central railroad.
to take into consideration the feasibility of
establishing floating hospital, and to as
certain the possible cost of such an ins,im
ton, and what each of the inter.

constitutional Money.

Mr.. Ewing, OF Ohio, proposes to put cur
rency into the constitution. He is MOI sat
isied with the results of legislation in Con-
gress, and consequently makes that grand
resort of all appeals for ultimate justice,
an amendment to the constitution. He
wants to have the constitution determine
how much money Congress shall issue, and
have it made obligatory upon those parsi-
monious Legislators that they shall increase
the sum in accordance with the increase in
population This is fair 1t recognizes the
fallacy of all those notions that money has
relation to the commercial transactions
of a country rather than to the
number of people in it, and enforces the
magnificent reform that the money shall be
in proportion to the people, so that there
shall be plenty for all. Mr.. Ewing has
modestly retrained from stating how much
money should be put into the constitu-
ton he has left in blank the sum that
Congress shall be compelled to issue. We
therefore take this occasion to suggest the
amount. 1t ought to be $500, 900, 900, 600.
Eight hundred thousand million dollars
neither more nor less. That will give
twenty thousand dollars apiece for every
one of us, and we shall be the richest people
in the world as soon as the law becomes part
of the constitution. Hurry it up, Mr..
EwiuO

Fair Play.

Two distinguished public characters OUT
sid the clerical order have taken up the
discussion of subject which may be sup
posed to belong properly to the Church-the
reality of hell in the life that is to come.
The one is Robert G. Ingersoll, the otherthe
Count Joannes. Both are gentlemen of note.
Mr.. Ingersoll is Western stump orator Of
some renown. The Count Joannes is q
scholar who aspires to dramatic fame, of
whom the New Enganders would have
been proud had he claimed Boston
as his hailing, place, but who is per-
secuted by them for the reason that he
has adopted New York as his home. Both
orators treat the subject from their own
standpoint, and their views at least have
the credit of originality. Yet the Count
Joannes when he essays to give voice to his
opinions in public is met with ribaldry
and abuse, while Ingersoll is listened to
respectfully and without interruption. The
sentiments of the latter are decidedly re-
pugnant to the good sense of oil Christian
men, while the views Of the Count are
as harmless as they are amusing.
Why, then, should Joannes be treated
with contumely while Ingersoll is
treated with respect? The Count is GER
tainly the better educated man of the two.
Ingersoll may know more of the law than
Joannes, but Joannes certainly knows more
of Shakespeare than Ingersoll--and is not
Shakespeare preferable to the law2 We sec
no reason why the Counts views on he'll
should not be entitled to as patient hear
ing and ns calm judgment as the views O
Mr.. Ingersoll, and we consider that the cat
calls and interruptions Of the audience a
the recent Joannes meeting would have

Greece and the Congress.

Greece at the Congress is the happy
thought over which England is congratu-
lating itself Whether the little Power is to
sit there or merely to have her case sat upon
is not, however, decided Meanwhile the
Greeks are making things as lively in Thes-
sally, Epirus and Crete, and even in Mace
donia, they say, as ever the brigands made
it for travellers around Athens. While the
war was in full blast, even after the fall of
little army ov or the border they would prob
ably be theGbetter now to the. extent ofsa
province or two but they waited until the
Russians were in Adrianople, and so lost
their chance. There is no doubt that Eng
land was very active in dissuading the
Greeks from attacking the Turksup to the
signing Of the Treaty of San Stefano
but now, since she wants a new
cry at the Congress, a Byronic sort
of interest in the Hellenic people is
invoked to sanctify their incursions into
Turkish territory. The bedevilled Turk
looks moodily on, taking but little heed
of these ydenionstraticns for the present
but England can scarcely make him believe
that she has his interest at heart when he
sees her clamor to have little Power
brought into the Congress which can get
an increase of territory at no ones expense
but his own. 1t looks as though England
was very hard up for friends when she
drums up Greece. Whatever she may hope
from Austria she evidently has little ex.
pectation of getting Turkey to take hel
views at the council table of Europe. The
war spasm in England has somewhat abated,
and now Austria is making a little fuss !; bu,
the project for the Congress moves rather
slowly, and Germany and Russia bide theil
time. They may propose seat for Spain.

tenn and abandon NE most brilliant and
beautiful theories of science merely to save
the life of some person who happened to be
under their professional care. But the most
remarkable thing advanced by the homo-
opathsts at this session was that in
point Of fact homeopathy is an abandoned
practice. In a company of sixty only three
claimed TO be "pure homeopathists, and
one bold iconoclast declared that he had
used on his patients emetics, cathartics,
morphine and quinine Gin enormous doses"
Dr. Lilienthal "did not believe there were
more than one or two homeopathic practi-
TONERS in this city and one or two in Phila-
delphia who understood the materia medica
thoroughly" If all this be true the adop-
tion by the society OF q resolution formally
putting '.sinsilia si,nliJus curant,r" on
the shelf was rather tardy piece Of honesty
but as a piece of honesty, though late, the
world should welcome it. There is point
on which practical people quite ignorant
in medicine and those most deeply learned
in that useful science are in complete agree
ment, and that is that schools, theories.
dogmas and factions in medicine are mere
chaff, while the fact of consequence is the
instructed, capable, pcrceptive, efficient
physician who can and does cure his
patients, no matter how. The smatterers,
drivellers and monomaniacs who believe
that their conception Of what is true in SCI
ence is to be saved, though at the expense Of
life, when to save life should be the sum and
purpose Of all their sciences, stand between
these extremes, and may we'll and proftably
be neglected by both.

The Park Policeman and tho Nurse
Girl.

We have always supposed that the park
police, in their liberty to roam through the
peoples gardens, drinking the nectar of the
flowers at handsome salary, were people
to be envied. We did not dream that there
was any jealous eye watching them to re-
port trifing iniractions of duty, because we
never could draw q satisfactory line be-
tween the duties and the pleasures Of park
policeman. All that he ever wanted, in our
ideas, to make veritable Tityrus of him
was an oaten pipe. Indeed, Mr.. Bryant
and many of our sucking poets have with
difficulty been restrained from illustrating
concentrated human happiness by the
serene lot of the policeman Of the parks.
Yet all this seems to be wrong. sergeant,
with the telescopically suggestive name of
Lenz, assembled the park policemen on
Saturday, and read the following painful
order to them -'Patrolmen or gatekeepers
caught talking to nurse girls will be brought
before the Commissioners. II will be seen
that stalkng to nurse girls" is not directly
forbidden, but ifthey are ''caught talking =
and sergeant with an eye like Lenz will
be sure to catch them they are to be
dragged to the Arsenal star chamber and
there questioned under oath by the Commits
sioners The color of her hair and eyes, the
cherry of her lips. the exact turn of her
conversation and other particulars will be
put in black and white and made the sub
ject of laughter to an unfeeling Board, and
whether fined or not the policeman Will re-
turn to the park with worm of jealousy
gnawing his vitals His life will become a
dreary blank. He will be struck dumb by
the sight of petticoat, and the sound of a
baby carriage on the gravel will CRATE on his
ears as the songs OF the seraphim CRATE on
the ears of the companions of Dives in
their hot abode. He will go about with
sealed lips, knowing in his ranking
heart that everybody in the wide
wide world, except himself, can talk tc
the nurse girls. A coquettsh Normandy
cap over q laughing face will no longer bt
the nodding orinamme to lure him to de-
lightful communings. He must patrol lik,

Careless Blasting.

A contractor at Harlem was arrested
short time ago and fined the enormous sum
of twenty-five dollars for having by care
less blast thrown heavy block of rock
against q house with sufficient force to make
a hole in the wall, seriously damage the
furniture by falling bricks and endanger
the lives of the inmates Emboldened by
the trivial expense of indulging in such
sport the same contractor has continued to
explode his blasts and to scatter the rock in
all directions regardless of the safety of the
lives and property of the residents. He has
now been held to answer for this offence at
the General Sessions. and it is to be hoped
that the case will be prosecuted by the Dis
trict Attorney. The plea of the contractor
is that he has not violated the law which
regulates blasting operations in the city.
Well, if he has not, he will not be liable to
punishment. But it is essential that the
people should know that fact. Ifthe present
laws authorize such blasting as will
batter down the walls of adjacent houses
and reduce the chances of the sacrifice OF
the lives of those who may happen to be in
the neigh borhood to the mere risk of sol.
diers on the field of battle during an en-
gagement, they certainly need amendment.
Blasting may by ordinary prudence be
safely done, and there is no reason why the
laws regulating so hazardous an operation
should not be quite sufficient to insure its
harmless character.

Harvard,. Chanenge to Cornell. :


Cornell cannot afford to accept Harvard's
challenge to an eight-oared race ; she has
neither the men nor the money Ostrom and
nearly all his famous men have gone those
now there have seen no important racing.
Harvard after q winters hard work asks
what should have been asked earlier or not
at all. Cornell, as the victor over all
American colleges in the last general meet
ing, and as the challenged party as well, is
now in position to make grand stroke for
the interest Of college rowing in this
country. Let her say to Harvard that she
will row her o straightaway three mile
race in fours at New London during
the week of the Harvard-Yale race,
or on Seneca Lake during the Watkins
meeting. As such victor let her invite her
old competitors from all the other twelve
institutions to meet her in breast race, as
of old, but this time in fours, not skies.
Almost any of them have four good men
who, with two months training, would give
her q lively race, and the expense would be
within the reach of all. Let Cornell, with
her prestige, initiate this move and she
will be well nigh sure to have Columbia
and Wesleyan. Trinity and Brown at her
side within week, if not Princeton, Dart
mouth and Amherst and all the rest as we'll,
while she will at last have put our college
rowing on basis where it will stay and
where it should have been twenty years ago.

phemies several evenings before.
Louex In Lin bo.

The adventurous Benedict, Mr.. Joseph
Lopez who set out to marry an heiress, has
brought up in the Tombs. Let his fate be
warning to young men of little capltai
and less scruples. He began his operations
about three hundred years too late. There
was time when a reckless young gallant
who conspired with q lady's maid for
the hand of her mistress and even
raised loans from the intriguing Abb
gail, to be paid with interest in the
rich and married future, and who went to
the marriage ceremony on borrowed
breakfast could expect to accomplish all he
desired and even get pretty niche in the
literature of the day. He needed good
sword arm to maintain his conquests for a
little while That was all But now the
adventurer meets terribly prosaic treat
ment. His poverty is next door to
criminal and his little intrigue be-
comes conspiracy. His deluding speeches
take on the ugly features of perjury,
and, instead of bearing gallantreputation,
he is regarded as more or less of q sneak.
No doubt the little plan of Lopez promised
well for him at one time, but, as he waits
in the cell for the Grand Jury to look into
his case, he will reflect on what differenc ce
fifty dollars might have made in the result.
People like him never look at things from
the standpoint of wrong or right, hence
they run full tilt against the stone walls
built by people who do.
