The latest site proposed for
the worlds fair in 1882 is Gov
errors Island, about half a mile
south of the southern extremity
of New York city. Many adj
vantages for this site are claim
ed, but the island being a forti-
fed post of the United States,
would not be likely to be sur
rended for such an enterprise.

Spare tho Childrcn.

An indignant parent lately complained
through the HERALD of the severe tasks
which school children arc compelled to ac-
complish. The complaint is we'll founded.
Whether education or mere discipline is the
object of attendance OF school, neither JUS
tifes the physical constraint and mental
exertion to which hundreds Of thousands of
children are subjected every day. Few
soldiers are as severely taxed ON the drill
ground as many children are in our show
schools and others which aspire to high
reputation for order; but, as il this cruel
training were not destructive enough of
health and spirit, the custom grows more
and more popular with teachers to
make school hours merely the time for reci-
tation, the lessons to be studied at home.
After six hours spent in the schoolroom,
and from four to six at study at home. how
much time and inclination has o child for
recreation? Parents should remember that
they have rightfully voice upon the course
of studies to be followed by their children,
and should refuse to allow homo TO be
turned into o schoolroom unless they are
themselves going to oficiate as teachers and
save their children from doubled restraint
and double duty.

The D.n.oeratie Caucus.

1t became evident on the first ballot in
the democratic caucus of members Of the
House last evening how false and hollow
and boastful have been the pretensions of
Mr.. Blackburn. He mover had any real
chance for the Speakership. Mr.. Randall
was so far ahead on the first ballot that
no further interest wns felt in contest thus
virtually decided.
We congratulate Mr.. Randall on his brill
liant success. 1t is alike creditable to him
and to the democratic party. It is an in
dorsement by the party not merely of his
personal character but Of the policy of
moderation, retrenchment and economy OF
which he has been so conspicuous and deter
mined champion. Mr.. Randall is the best
choice for Speaker which the new House
could have made. and the democratic party
has reason to congratulate itself that it was
in no real danger of being committed to the
wild political, sectional and financial here
sizes represented by Mr.. Blackburn. We
wish we could feel assured that Dir. Ran
dall's election as Speaker Isl a guarantee that
wise and moderate counsels will prevail in
the extra session.

c.relessnss. and Crime.

The case of church officer who had been
suspected of improper relations with women
has lately been exciting denominational
and social circle in the City of Churches
and ended in a verdict of not guilty, but
indiscreet The individual and his friends
are to be congratulated that the suspicious
seem to have been groundless; but both
they and other persons protesting. Christian
rectitude will make grave mistake il they
fail to comprehend the real seriousness of
what is admitted. The w,4ld has had
experience enough in such matters to
be able to understand that indiscretion,
without evil intent of any kind, works
thousand times as much mischief as
wilful crime, and is therefore to be more
carefully avoided. particularly by those
whose professions induce other people to
regard them as models for humanity to con-
form to. The inmates of our prisons are in
most cases just where they should be, but
their misdeeds seldom have anything like
the bad and far-reaching influence of the
irregularities of hundreds Of times as many
persons who are regarded as respectable.
The people should understand and the pull
pit should preach what experience has been
saying with ceaseless and saddening itera-
ton for centuries, that it is not the crimi-
mails but the fools. the careless, who keep
society in hot water and retard human
progress.

The Plea or the Poor.

Under the above title resident of tene.'
ment house expressed in yesterdays HERALD
the opinions of the better members of
his class. His arguments and implications
will not affect landlords and the bust
ness world any, for business is business,
and the man who conducts it, no matter
what he may profess to be when he is away
from the scenes of his daily work, regards
according to their business aspects all tene-
ment houses, whiskey shops and other
means of money making. But nearly every
man has o sentiment, Of which he is more
or less ashamed, in favor of something
that is morally superior to business-a
something which some men call charity.
others humanitarianism, and still others
cases implies that all men are to some ex-
tent their brothers' keepers. and are,
according to the measure of their means,
responsible for the condition of such of the
lower strata of society as are not vicious.
The only prominent organization that pro-
fesses to einbody this sentiment in it's prin-
ciples is the Church, and the efforts and
success of this body in the direction Of
ameliornting the condition of the poor is
tho only one Of its claims to respect which
infidels as we'll as Christians acknowledge.
The condition of our tenement houses had
frequently been made known, and partio-
ularly so within the past few weeks. Now,
what is the Church. or the churches, going
to do about 1t? These organizations in
olude among their membership and
attendants, nearly all the wealthy
people Of New York. Some of them
possess immense properties and others
can command money and brains on
sufficient occasion. On the other hand,
the tenement houses contain, among many
people who are low and vicious, tens of
thousands of men and women who have in
hsrited sense, principle and; taste, oil Of
which have been subordinated to the brute
effort to keep the wolf from the door--an
effort, according to our greatest living poet,
That crushes into dumb despair
One-half the human race. T.
Over-exertion, mistakes Of judgment, in
sufficient education, hasty marriages and
other errors may be urged as explaining the
worldly condition Of these people,; but the
distinctive difference between worldly wis
dom and Christianity is that the latter is
supposed to heal or alleviate the wounds
that worldly blundering has made. If it is
to do so, some more powerful balm than talk
or sentimentality can ever amount to must
be used. How much of it, where and by
whom is it being used?

Another Chance for tho Temperance
Party.

Party.
1t is to be hoped that the large and re-
spectacle body of people who desire legisla-
ton to restrain intemperance are alive to
all their opportunities. Just before the
adjournment Of Congress Senate COM
mittee reported favorably on a resolu-
ton requesting the Treasury and State de-
partments to collect information upon the
adulterations and ''fortifying" of wines
and liquors made abroad for use in this
country, and wine drinkers in the COM
munity will admit that there is great deal
to be inquired into. 1t is the general ver-
dict Of drinking men that the quantity Of
headache to be obtained from given guam
tity of wine cannot be aseertained by the
ordinary tests OF brand, taste and AppeaA
ance, but that many bottle OF wine
apparently light is more annoying to
stomach, head, temper and equilibrium
than On equal quantity of strong spirits
would be. French, German and Italian
dealers have apparently assumed that tho
American, like his English ancestor, likes
his tipple as strong as it can be made, 30
they strengthen or "fortify" light wines
with whatever quantity and quality of alco-
hol may seem TO them ct for transatlantic

Clay. because it is so perfectly absurd. The

Clay. because it is so perfectly absurd. The
veto power, with which the constitution
clothes the President, is perfect nullity if
Congress can overrule veto, not merely
by the refusal of two-thirds of both
houses to sustain it, but by the re-
fusal of bare majority of both houses
to pass appropriation bills to which
they may tack q vetoed measure. If it
is legitimate for Congress to block and dis
organize the government by the vote of a
simple majority of either against veto, in
stead of the two-thirds of both, which the
constitution requires to override veto, the
long accepted theory of our legislation is
subverted, and the veto power is eliminated
from the constitution. If bare ma
jority of either house may block the
wheels of the government when its will is
not submitted to, and thereby coerce the
President into signing bills which he dis
approves, the veto power is prepos-
ferrous and contemplate nullity. 1t is not
to be expected that President Hayes will
accept this degrading view, and the whole
responsibility of disorganizing the govern
ment will rest upon the democratic ma
jority if Congress adjourns without pass
ing the appropriation bills.

White Slaves.

It is quite remarkable and discouraging
that, after all the publicity which has been
given to the traffic in Italian children,
padrones still roam safely about the coun-
try, abuse their little victims and live upon
what the children beg and steal. All this
happens among people who helped abolish
negro slavery, who view the coolie system
with adherence, send missionaries to the
heathen and attend meetings to talk and
pray for what they term the evangelization
of Italy. Wicked New York has followed
the padrone so closely that mono Of these
scoundrels or their slaves are to be found in
our streets, but ii the various bands have
merely disappeared by going to the in
terror cities and towns the evil exists as
Aourishingy as ever. Humane people,
shrewd detectives and laws against in
voluntary servitude are to bo found every
where. Why are they not used against the
pndrones, wherever found?. There Is no
other way to repress this revolving traffic in
human life except that Of prompt legal
action. There is but one system under
which the little Italian musicians come to
this country, and that is practically O worse
form Of slavery than the negro ever endured
in America. The business is conducted by
brutes and makes its victims brutal. The
Chinese are blessings to society compared
with the padrones and the ignorant, hard
ened vagabonds that the italian children be-
come by the time they reach their majority.
Let this particular phase of everybody 8
business be followed up by everybody claim
ing to bc human, until the padrones are
driven into penitentiaries or out Of the
country, and the worse than orphaned chill
dren cared for according to their great
necessity.
