The closing suggestion In the article on the
cultivation OF carp In the lakes At the foot of
Washington Monument, published In another
column, Is good one. 1t Is urged that the
swampy ground in the vicinity of the island
which is to become garden for the cultivation
OF fish, be converted into another lake. This
would seem to be wise solution of the problem
OF the reclamation OF a part of the public
grounds that brings back remembraaces of the
old canal. The adjoining White Lot is gradually
improving In appearance as 1t Is graded, sodded
and planted with trees, and Will soon become
beautiful park In substantial accordance with
the plans Of Downing. Its ncighbor the Monu-
ment Lot, Will need to look to it that 1t does not
SHOW unfavorably by contrast The proposed
ornamentation Of the existing lakes with rare
aquatic plants, and the various attractions Of
the island with its numerous small ponds,
turtles and curious fish VIII go far towards
bringing this end of the Lot up to the standard.
As TAR as identifying the remaining portions is
concerned the only real difficulty Is presented
by the swamp which it Is proposed to fill with
water. Such action would be sanitary meas
ure. twould enlarge the field of the Fish Com
Missions labors. 1t would add a pleasing
feature to the landscape. The conversion OF
the swamp into a lake would cost but a few
thousand dollars, and the advantages to be
gained are so many, so varied and so apparent
that the idea may reasonably be expected to
Impress itself fayorably upon Congress.

Mr.. Heating, editor OF the Memphis Appeal,
who has been interviewed upon politics from
southern democratic point Of view, is not a. all
favorable to the nomination OF Tllden. He says
Tildens nomination In 1876 was due to the solid
support he received from the south. He has
not that support now; not that the people of the
south have lost the confidence, which their sup
port In 1876 implied, in his ability or his
integrity, but that the circumstances of his
election and failure to secure the Office of Pres
1dent of the United States have weighted him
with one element of defeat. Another thing,
the democratic party Is too rich In public men
OF ability to be tied for eight years to any
one man. Then 1t cannot afford to take
q risk In the same direction second time,
OF the other candidates mentioned he thinks
Mr.. Bayard stands first and Mr.. voorhees, next
In the affections Of the south. Mr.. Randall has
strong following, and Mr.. Thurman and Mr..
Hendricks probably stand upon the same plane.

The New Workers are still quarreing over
the question OF the site for the proposed
Worlds fair with no immediate prospect OF
getting beyond that problem. A sub commit
tee Of the executive committee recommend for
q site, In lieu Of the Central Park, the neigh
borhood of Port Morris, east of the city, having
q water front Of nearly mile capable Of being
locked, accessible to the largest ships and with
tolerable railroad connections existing, which
can be readily increased to any desired extent.
The ground here available Is to the extent of 125
acres, and the owners will lease 1T for NOM
inal sum, for fair purposes. When the ques-
ton Of the site Is settled the contention in re-
gard to the date Of holding the fair will have
to be adjusted. In the opinion Of all who have
had experience In these exhibitions, the
time proposed, 1883, is entirely too soon. 1t Is
believed that 1856 Is the earliest date at which
1t could be held with any prospect of success,
and many think it should be deferred even
longer, to 1889. The world Is rather surfeited
with International expositions and wants a
little rest. Then the work of getting up an
exhibition on this scale Is immense and re-
Quires considerable time for its satisfactory
prosecution, involving as it does, dealings with
all the nations Of the world
