that. in the little matter of brains, the Re-

If the disposition to inaugurate practical
tcnement-house reform really exists among
any considerable number of our wealthy citi-
zenS the opportunity seems TO have been
presented. The committee OF nine, appointed
to devise measures, has made a report
which indicates how beginning, at least,
can be made in this direction. One
of the first and most important features of
the repOrt is the correction of a current mis-
apprehension respecting the sufliciency of ex-
isting legislation upon this subject. 1t has
been supposed by some that the laws
would be adequate if they could be enforced.
Tie Committee state very distinctly that
the laws are not sufficient to Sc
cure proper light and air in tenement
houses and to prevent Oyercrowdlng;
and bills have been laid before the Legisla-
ture which seek to supply these defects No
effort should be spared to enact proper meas
ures of this sort. In considering the question
of constructing new. improved tcnements, the
committee dismiss the idea of building on
single city lot, and recommend that no such
houses be erected on lots less than 1OOx1OO
feet in area They suggest the Incorporation
of one or more companies for the erection, on
business principles, ofimprOved dwellings. and
also the creation of q tlust fund for
building and supporting such dwellings,. The
price of shares in the company is put at figure
which will allow persons OF moderate means
to take part in this new scheme of phian
thrOpy dividends are limited, the existence
of salaried Office-h holders forbidden, and the
management of the association is cOnfided to
board of nine directors. The trust fund is
put, by way of suggestion merely, at 81, 00O,
600, subscriptions to be $4,000 each, and no
subscription to be binding until the sum of
$4,000 has been obtained. Here are the
plans. Are there fifty men ready to begin the
work

OF the so-called Western idea in finance, as
expounded by small politicians, we have heard
enough; the conversation with William Gil
pin, detailed elsewhere, introduces us TO the
apostle of the genuine Western idea-a belief
that the Mississippi River is the eastern boun-
dairy of the future empire of the world, and
that all the manners. customs and institutions
of the Atlantic seabOard are corrupt e1iete
and diminutve. The broad and tremendous
way in which this representative Westerner
breaches his doctrine, is refreshing in re-
9ion where public men especially do vast
deal of commonplace talking. 1t Is GER
tainly a novel and rather eXhilarating expert
ence to hear genuine pioneer, one who has
proved his faith by his works, declare that he

two conspicuous nominations made by the
President yesterday. The choice of Clarence
King to be the Director of the Geographical
Survey has been approved by the almost
unanimous voice of competent authorities.
1t should be put out of danger from malicious
attacks without delay. The nomination OF
General Walker, to be Superintendent OF the
Census, is one that is eminently justified by
his past record in that position. and will no
doubt be speedily approved.

Mr.. Albert Gottheimer, better known as Albert

splendid speculation with 100000 of debts
and less than 500, 900 of assets. Like other
conscientious operators of his kind, Baron
Grant is piously certain that he has done no

about the preservation of his reputation than
about the interests of his creditors.

Census, is one that is eminently justlhed ny
his past record in that position. and will no
doubt be speedily approved.
There can be no question, we presume, OF
the result of the special election to be held
in the XXIVth Senatorial District next Tues
day. to choose O successor to the late Senator
Hopkins. This District is staunchly kepuDn-
can, and should remain so, even when the
place to be filed by election Is only frac-
ton of legislative term. There is an espe-
cial reason for a full Republican vote on Tues
day in tho fact that the nominee of the
party, Mr.. Edwin G. Halbert, is man OF hlgh
character, whose fitness for the position ought
to be recognized.
A Paris letter gives currency to an amusing
bit of gossip about the young Prince out OF
situation who has gone to look for employ
ment among the Zulus According to this
salon rumor the young Napoleon, With the
characteristic modesty of his race, proposes TO
himself o union with the royal family OF
England. and has travelled so far in
his quest as to have inspired an amiable
liking in the breast of the one splnster
princess But this, where a royal hand IL
sought, is very little progress indeed, and less
distinguished families than that OF which
Queen Victoria is the head might hesitate TO
admit as q new member a Prince with not
much of a name and no local babitation what
ever.

Douglas Percy, Mr.. Brace began with
a reJh.r liOeral dominion OF Tie Term
gossip" But we cannot touch the
numerous points made, by far the
greater number of which were happily
conceived and we'll expressed. In
general, however, there was disposi-
ton pervading the effort to compro-
mise with propensity which the lee
turer proved to be ooeval with and
universal as sim. It was once digni-
fed as a sort of virtuous development
of popular opinion, and to due extent
worthy of culture and growth. On
the other hand an old notion of gos-
sip, per Sc, holds it to be trifing talk,
tattle, scandal, and a f-attestlng
admission of the malice or weakness
of those who indulge ia body whose
gravity specifically tends to the core
of SANDER. We would have had it in
all it's variations and accompaniment
denounced without mercy, for which
treatment no one is better qualified
than a disciplined lawyer like M
Brace.
At several points the lecturer trod
upon shaky ground, where a slip Of
the tongue or wave Of the hand
would have been at his peril. He
walked along narrow necks of land,
just on tho margin of the unrevealable,
delicately and dextrously picking his
way, reaching his point smiling and
unframed. Some pretty stories, apt
illustrations and fitting quotations,
added zest to the effort.
Lastly, the newspaper editor, the
prince Of tattlers, rather royal pur-
veyor of gossip to the sovereign pub
lie, came in for kindly share of dulcet
remark. To this numerous parsonage
the lecturer paid handsome compli-
ments, and the audience was enjoined
after the manner of Uncle Toby, to
respect the old folks, for they have
the money the young folks, for they
are growing up on a cash basis then
secure newspaper puffs and your for
tunes made"
Having but little time for study du-
ring the pressure of preparation for
court, his first formal effort to enter
tain the public was, notwithstanding,
very creditable to his industry and
ability. We congratulate him.
