THE NEW PARK APPROACHES.

| Yesterday the Park Commissioners made
some genuine progress toward completing the
Eighth-ave. approaches to the Park opposite
Manhattan Square, or rather they rcfraned
from Obstructng the eilOr.s of the Trustees of
the Museum of Natural History. working
plan, prepared for the Trustees by Mr.
j. c. Cady, was adopted, and it was fur
| Their voted ut their suggestion that the work
should be done by contract. Experience has
proved that the achievement of the average
Park laborer is not altogether satisfactory, be-
cause of the special talent which he has de-
| velopcd for retiring early and beginning late
| The resolution to advertise for proposals to
complete the various parts Of the improvement
by contract means that some adequate return
| for the expenditure is to be assured.
| Mr.. Cady's cultivated taste is a guarantee
that the proposed work will in no way conflict
with The general plan of the Park in its unity
or violate its spirit. 1t is understood, indeed,
that the working plan adopted was based on
| the draft of the original designers of the
Park in 1875. The Commissioners have at
length done what they should have done two
months ago when the Trustees presented
Mr.. Vaux's preliminary study. Much
priceless time has been thrown away.
but instead of complaining about the past, the
people of the city will probably give way to
emotions of delight and gratitude when they
learn that there is one subject upon which
three Of the Commissioners have been moved
to agree.
Meanwhile, the Improvement of Manhattan
Square proper, upon which the Commission
crs feiicitated themselves so profuscly, is sadly
dragging. There is no reason why this work
should not be pushed ospecdy completion. Mr.
Lanes proposition to secure the $S 900 of unex-
pended balance at command of the Board and
prosecute the enterprise with all vgor, was a
good one. Ii certainly did not deserve TO be
treated with the exubcrant contempt which 1t
secured from his fellow Commissioners. If
the Square was the private property of
President Jesup, for example, no one doubts
that with the money at command he
could have it filed and graded before
frost 1t is not likely that he would
tumble the ravines full of rocks SO that the
thin layer of soil above would not furnish
root-hold for trees, for the ways of private
citizens in managing their own estates are not
the ways of Park Commissioners. But the
Square would be made attractive, and a worthy
feature of the Park of which it viii become
practically part when these new roadways,
paths and bridges are completed. 1t would be
an excellent time for the Park Board to take
a fresh start in this direction before this spasm
of harmony subsidies.

of disorderly characters. Sixty-six such wo-
men were arrested on Monday night, and after
passing night in the cells were fined The
movement is surely good one, if it merely
tends to make the streets in some parts of the
city less disreputable and more tolerable to
the respectable citizen. The police have it al
ways in their power to abate the nuisance of
street-walking, because, as Captain Williams
states, the women can always be charged with
vagrancy, having no visible means of support,
and they become sufficiently well known to
the police to allow such a charge to be made.
lie says he proposes to continue this policy in
his precinct as long as he is sustained by the
Police Justices. He may depend upon it that
the public will watch the further progress of
the matter keenly, and see which of the Po-
lice Justices, if any, fails to sustain him. Vice
cannot be wholly suppressed, it appears by
any agencies known to human ingenuity, but
the streets of great city can be kept reason
ably clear of disorderly persons if the police
officers and Judges have the will to do it.
Whether not Captain Williams is correct
in saying that it is something that has never
been done before, it is entirely practicable,
and we hope to see it thoroughly done now
Yesterday was one to recall the days Of the
war when the gold gamblers specialized in the
misfortunes of the Nation. Tho country
was overwhelmed with wild and cruel ru-
mOrs about the Presidents condition, and stock
jobbing was unquestionably at the bottom of
many OF them. The natural anxiety of the
whole people, the nervous tendency of we'll
meaning persons to exaggerate all reports,
and the incurable human appetite for
rumors, all helped, of course, and such
things are not to be wondered at but
the day was peculiar and disgraceful in
the wicked recklessness with which ru-
mors were spread, and the base uses
to which they were put by spectators.
There has hardly been a day like it in this
respect since the President was shot. The
facts are that the President was much better
after the Operation" of removing the pieces
of splintered rib from the wound in
dressing it, than he had been the day
before. Much better are the words of Dr.
Reyburn himself. The history of the day
shows a decrease in the fever, an increase in
the nourishment taken, and relief from the re-
mOval of the irritating bone-splinters pulse
below 100, and temperature and respiration
normal. The doctors, in the endeavor to check
the system of misrepresentation to which they
and the are subjected, will hereafter make
their bulletins more detailed. Secretary Bane's
late dispatch to Minister Lowell reports the
best showing in pulse, temperature and re-
spiration for five nights past and adds: "The
entire day has been most encouraging, and q
feeling Of confidence is rapidly returning"

may go down in hopeless defeat. 1t is of prac-
teal value to every man, leaving considerations
of morality aside, that he shall at all times have
all his powers unimpaired, his body sound and
healthy, his Judgment clear and cool, and all
his resources under sure command.
This tragical episode will have its lesson also,
perhaps, for another class of the people--our
public men. There has been great improve
ment in the morals of our public men within
the past generation or two, although contrary
impression sometimes prevails. 1t is perhaps
only single feature of the general change for
the better that is to be seen i'm all branches of
society. The manner of life is less gross, and
refinement has increased with the spread of
intelligence 1t should be said also that most
of the Presidents have been estmabIe and
clearly men in their private lives. But a good
example in the White House is never thrown
away, for the official life of the Capital and the
country is never free from vices, whatever the
improvement has been, aud it may be of
especial advantage to the people that the meI
who are to make and execute our laws shall see
in what good stead wise habits may stand man
in a vital crisis.

DEMOCRACY EXPOSING ITSELF

When the Democratic party has been making
a conspicuous ass of itself, it is quite ant 70
issue vociferous address. Bay;ng, mt such
times, is in accordance with the eternal fitness
OF things. The universe abhors vacuum. and
an undecided donkey. Hence the address of
the Democratic Legislators of New-York.
The Democratic party in the late Legislature
manifested degree of stupidity which Ian.
guage cannot describe. 1t found a division
among Republicans. Democrats gifted with .
moderate amount of sense would have remen,.
bered that ancient experience warns an ont
slider not TO interfere in quarrel between bus.

cudgel and broom handle on the sconce of tho
intruder Upon the same principle. Renuhl;-
cans were more likely to arrange any family
jars, when they found the Democrats mod.
ding in them. But the Democratic Legislator
had not sense enough to keep clear of the fyht
He must needs interfere, and to HELM Mr.. Conk-
ling against the Administration. Thereby no
helped many Republicans to see that Mr.. Conk
ling's side was not that which tended to nro-
mote Republican success.
For several weeks the session was prolon cod
and the election of Administration Senators
prevented, by the conduct of the Democratic
members. They could have ended the contest
at any moment by staying away from the Con-
vention. Nothing else was needed; no sneecl
no vote, no act Of interference All the cost Of
session prolonged thus foolshly for several
weeks was caused by the insane notion of the
Democratic members that they might somehow
make party capital by putting the State to great
expense and helping the wrong side in n fight
among Republicans. This muddled and nm.
patriotic notion kept the Legislature in session.
long after even the dullest Democratic member
had discovered that the absence of n few
Democrats would end the contest. I'm n marty
point of view, the shrewd course for the Demo-
Gratis was to leave the Convention in its earlier
stages before the Administration men had as
certained and compacted their forces. But no
Democrat had sense enough to see it. The
Democratic members continued to hold tho
Legislature together, until the Republicans
could agree. In the end, of course. thew did
agree, and the Democrats received well-de-
served beating.
Having to look back rp ION such piece of nm
speakable stupidity rs this, of course the Demo-
cratic donkey uplifts his voice. The address
gives historical review of the contest, from a
point OF view purely Democratic. Since the

ONE or ITS LESSONS.

Probably it has never occurred to any one of
the idle aud dissi patcd class, either among the
young men of our great cities among men
who are Older and should be wiser, that the
sick-bed at Washington had any special lesson
for him. Yet such is the fact, plain enough to
those who have eyes to see We do not mean
necessarily moral lesson; it is sharp enough
merely us II lesson Of expediency. 1t may be
compressed into this simple question If Presi-
dent Garfield had been u man of disspatcd
habits, how long would he have survived Gui-
teau's shot 1t has been clearly recognized
from the first that the fact that the President
has led temperate regular life, greatly in
creased his chances of recovery, and gave him
that splendid strength and endurance with
which he has fought against death. There are
many dangers in such Il case to which the man
of Incorporate habits in any particular would
be more liable than the man who has never been
addicted to what is called high living, but
which might more accurately be called low liv-
ing. 1t is probably true also, that the calm
ness and courage with which the first great
shock and all the dangers that have followed il
until now were met were, although native to
the man, in some measure due to the wholesome
poise of body and mind maintained by we'll
ordered living.
1t is surely something to be equipped in this
fashion to meet the great emergencies of life,
Persons of more modest station than Presidents
are fortunately not in much danger of assassina-
ton. But no man, no matter how inconspicu-
GUS his place in the community may be, can be
sure that he may not at any moment be con-
fronted as suddenly as President Garfield was
with some situation demanding all his strength
of body and mind to meet and DO equal to it.
perhaps, even in a physical sense to survive it.
The unexpected happens now and then in the
life of every man. The young fellow about
town who pursues pleasant vices to pass away
time, and dulls n brain already enfeebled by
chronic idleness and dissipation the lawyer,
perhaps of middle-age, who is letting the habit
Of drinking grow upon him day by day even
the man whose only sin is that fatal one of
habitual intemperance i'll hard work ;--none of
these men, and none of the many classes for
whom they may stand as types, can be sure that
out OF the calm of any commonplace day the
crisis OF their lives will not suddenly arise under
which weakened body and mind unstrung

average Democratic politician cannot conceive
that anybody should get in earnest about any
thing but the spoils, the address assumes that
the Republicans were at war about the spOils
and nothing else. The infinitely larger ques-
tiOns whether Presidential nominations sh ould
be made by the Bosses or by the people,
whether the Chief Magistrate of this country
should be a President or q sort of entry clerk
for Boss, whether the progressive and liberal
or the Oligarchical and thrd-term element
should prevail, the Democrats were utterly in
capable of seeing, much less of comprehending.
To them, it was all question whether A or B
should draw pay
Having no comprehension of the meaning of
the struggle, the Democratic members show no
respect for truth in recOunting its incidents.
Now that the fight is over, and hot blood has
cooled, candid men will recognize the fact that
there was not trace from beginning to end, of
corporation influence, bribery or corruption in
any form. No evidence that any unprecedented
jury would consider of the slightest weight no
evidence that any reasonable man of either
party will now pretend that he ought personally
to act upon as true, was found to sustain q
single one of the charges of corruption. Every
body understands that the charges will now die,
with the hot temper which engendered them.
But the Democrats, who had courage enough in
the face of the cipher dispatches to insist that
Mr.. Tilden was pure aud spouess, also have
such lack of scruples and of decency that, with
out proof of any kind, they can accuse repu-
table citizens of crime.
The Democratic party had rare opportunity
in this State, when Mr.. Conkling .foolshly re-
signed. 1t proceeded at once to demonstrate
that even Mr. Conklings marvellous folly could
easily be eclipsed by the matchless and unap-
proachabe stupidity of Democratic legislators
There is no danger that the demonstration will
