CENTRAL PARK.

The fnl and clear declaration of principles
which Mr.. superintendent Jones sets forth in
another column is not calculated to allay the
aporchcusions Of persons who take an intclli-
cent and aiicctionate interest in the prcserya-
ton and development Of the Park. From his
candid statement it will be seen that the new
Supe rim tcndcnt il man Of IDEAS, and very
pcrnicious ones Apparently possessed Of
some force and carncstness, he seems, however,
oulltlcss of any natural aptitude, taste or
training for the Office he administers. He lays
down his amazing canons of landscape art with
ull the frankncSs Of honest and sufficient
ignorance. His contempt for the men who
know the names of trees" suggests the dread
of what may happen when man who does
not even know their names Is turned loose
among them with "A sharp axe.
After hearing his other dcliyeranccs one is
scarcely startled 10 learn that he has not begun
10 comprehend what the Park il in its essence,
and what is the purpose for which it primarily
exists. How to shut ont the city from the
Park was a fundam entail problem to be solved by
the designers. To exclude every suggestion
of traffic and toll and Journalism and artiiici-
ality. so that the visitor would come into I'M
distracted communion Win NpOuS anu meadows
and forms of nature which are so inviting by
their restfu contrast with the life and strife
without, was an original intention of the crea-
tors of the pleasure ground. The idea of So
Letting intrusion from Fifth Avenue and of
breaking through screens of foliage to af-
ford glimpses of the elevated railroad is
certainly recent. and it is probably the
most eccentric violation of the essential pro-
preties and moralitics which was ever con-
fessed by a Park Superintendent. All this
would be ludicrous if it were not humliating
to think that after a life of twenty-five years
the pleading lovelinoss of the Park has exer-
cised humanizing influence so slight that it
only exists on sufferance and is protected from
spoliation only by special providence, and that
it is exposed at any time to the tender mer-
cies of management which has no sympathy
with its motive and no intelligent apprecia-
ton of its value and proper use. 1t is already
dishevelled and dccrepit in many places

into the market, but they made the mistake of SELL

had made this remarkable assertion, he turned upon
the reporters and asked them to look the house
and tell him if they saw any thieves or murderers
there, adding that le had no doubt soIle. Of them

TJy4NCE And TRADE.

During the past week, the money market
has been in an unnatural condition. On call
money seemed abundant, and was loaned every
dav at comparatively low rates though full e
nor cent was demanded during the latter part
Of Saturday But money on time was scarce
and very hard to get, good borrowers having
searched for it in vain though offering con-
siderablv above per cent. The banks were
unable to lend, and as their statement shows,
had been obliged to contract their loans nearly
S.. 600 900. The available money in the mar
ket was mainly in the hands OF private lenders
who can make the market easy or tight at
pleasure. The bank statement showed re-
duction of Ss1O,4O0 in the deficiency, the re-
serve being s., 522,S75 below legal require
ments but this Improvement was due TO inc
contraction of loans and deposits. Until the
past two years, money sent 10 the III

city about the LIST of October. Last year there
WAS a slight increase of the reserve at TINS
time. owing to heavy imports OF gold, but II
did not continue, and, after rising from
SIS. 800, 900 to $50, 400 900, the reserve de
clined steadily again to $665OO,OOO IN De
ccmber This year no increase has yet APP
neared. The reserve is $72, 100000 against
SSO. 400 600 mt the corresponding date last
wear. while the loans are still $4,000 600
larger. and the deposits only %l2,5OO,OOo
smaller than at this date in 1850. The receipts OF
gold from abroad have been smaller than they
were last fall. while the drain from this city
TO the interior continues larger. Last week
the Treasury balances were increased only

10Th. 81 ,OOO,COO having meanwhile been re-

cago. and the bulk of the paper offered pays

The truth is that the speculation in grain has
not vet so far broken that free shipments from
the West have resulted. The break in prices
caused quick increase in shipments, it is true,
with a sharp advance in lake and canal rates.
But the increase in shipments was only about
half the difference between the previous move
mcnt and that of the corresponding weeks III
1850. The following shows the shipments of
grain in bushels from Chicago and Milwaukee,
and from Buffalo by canal and rail, during

some studied effort for its restoration Is 10"
demanded
1t is much easier to criticise faults than 10
suggest reforms. But few lines OF actioh
can be safely indicated. No interference WIN
the original design of the Park should be toi-
Grated. If each new Superintendent is allowed
to follow the prOmptings OF what ne ueeuiS
his creative genius, the harmonious ana con-
sistent beauty of the whole will be covered up
and obliterated by a tumble OF homogeneous
crudities Again, the treatment OF portions
which have become degraded should be con-
sentative. Instead Of cutting away entire plan
tations, or roughly thinning them out ana
leaving scattered shrubs bare and leggy, the
borders should be removed, leaving the
old planting for background, ana
against this low-growing plants OF
choice varieties should be used, hiding the
defOrmity of naked stems and fringlng the
whole with an appropriate edglng. Inc
bridges and other structures of the Park were
constructed by landscape architects, who knew
what they meant when they combined the
sylvan and verdurOus elements of Nature with
architectural forms. Before cutting away the
trees to display the bridges it would be well
TO wait until the designers of these structures
feel moved to complain that the effect
which they aimed at has been Obscured.
Choice specimens and groups should be pro-
tected and developed. For example : On
knoll in the Rambe stands pair
of Oriental spruces, which display all
the delicate and flowing graces of their kind.
One of them is partially destroyed ana tile
other will soon decay unless room is made Tor
the sunlight to warm them into fresh Ire.
Near them on the lake shore towers one Oh
the few Nordmann frs in the Park, a glorious
tree, with perhaps not half dozen peers III
the country. This, too is obscured and crowded
by a wild cherry, a stunted and unwholesome
Dine and some other growth. 1t would be well
if some Of the exuberant energy OF the super
intendent should divert itself from Alpine
planting and cataract making to the care OF
such treasures as these which the Park already
possesses.
Other suggestions will be in order when the
brigade of wrcckers have their saws filed and
pruning-hooks whctted for an active cam
paign. Meanwhile would it not be
well for the Commissioners to hesitate before
swinging loose from their extreme let-alone
methods and adopting violently radical
trcatmcnt2 If it is impracticable to put the

The citizen sOldiery of New-Jersey who ar
lived ut Yorktown yesterday had an expert
ence which recalls the trials CT the British re-
serves at the great review not long ago.
The distance from the landing-place at York
town to the camp is mile and half, and
the day was hot out of $50 men no less than
fifty sank on the way and were taken into the
camp III ambulances. Probably unseasonaby
heavy clothing had something to do with the
effects of the heat.

advantages it offers them.
Chicago, where smallpox has been a scourge
this year. is furnishing statistics to the partlsans
of vaccination. Forty per cent of the 800
cases since January l have proved fatal, and
a large proportion of the fatal cases have oc-
CURED among the degraded foreign popua-
tiOns who resist vaccination with violence.
Eighty-one out of the los deaths from small
poX in September were in ward where there
are 10000 persons who have not been vac
cinated. The opponents of vaccination would,
of course, urge the lack of cleanliness, ETC., as
the true reason for the spread of the disease
Minister Hurlbut administers just rebuke
to the so-called Plerola Government in reply
ing to its specious demand for recognition
He shows that PierOla was from the start
usurper that the Peruvians accepted his dicta-
torship because the country was threatened
with subsection by Chill; and that foreign ma
tons recognized his Government, without APP
proving its origin OF methods. General Hurl-
but then tells Pieyola that his barbarous and
inhuman DEGREES place him outside the pale OF
the law, and compel all civilized Gov
ernmeuts TO view him with dsfavOr. General
Hurlbut also observes that Chill declines TO
make peace because there is no stable Govern
ment with which she can treat, and advises
Pierola to submit to President Calderon who
is the provisional ruler of Peru, and guards
the National honor by refusing to surrender
Tarapaca to Chilli Except in this lntlma-
ton that Peru is right i'll refusing to
cede any of the National territory, Min
lister Hurlbut's letter is commendable.
Peru is conquered and must expect to
suffer the penalty of defeat. Her territory
is no more inviolable than that of Aus
tria, France and Turkey, which have in turn
lost important provinces as the result OF dis
astrous wars. The limits of diplomacy are not
well defined in the South American Republics,
but they scarcely sanction such needless coun-
sci as Minister HTlbut gives on this territorial
question.

The suicide which startled the village of Up
Der Montclair, n. j., on Saturday, was accom-
plished only by the persistence of insanity,
aided by an unfortunate failure, so often seen
in such cases, to take every precautiOn against
it. The unfortunate woman was plainly in a
deranged condition, and yet was able not only
to secure a weapon, but to use two opportuni-
ties for making away with herself, in both of
which, it would appear, she might have been
restrained.

The opportunity of the Republicans of
Brooklyn to gain control of the city govern
ment and SO secure economy and reform to
the people of that city is before them in the
election of this year, and should not be mis-

the Democrats still divided ought to insure
victory with all that means in the direction of
good government. An article printed in our

extent of this political opportunity.

simonten,s Resignation.

New York, 27.-James W. Simon
ton, who has occupied the position
of general agent of the New York
Associated Press for the past four
teen years, to-day, rendered his resig-
nation, and James G.. HueSton, at
present London agent of the New
York association, was appointed to
succeed him. A desire to give
greater attention to private interest
and recover health impaired by too
close attention to Office duties, were
the chief causes which lead to the
resignation. The association, at a
full meeting, to-day, authorized the
executive committee to express ap-
probation of the services of the
agent, in the following cOmmunica-
ton. The executive committee of
the Associated Press, to whom was
intrusted the duty of preparing an
expression of the opinion of the as
ISOLATION in regard to the voluntary
retirement Of James w. Simonton
as general agent, report as follows:
That Mr.. SimOntOn has been gen
eral agent of the association since
November 18th. 1866, and that in all
these years he has discharged the
duties of his responsible and arduous
work with great fidelity to the sew
eral members of the association and
general acceptance of the public.
The Office is one which requires
capacity, integrity and industry,
and we have never found the gen.
eral agent wanting in any of these
qualities. Mr. Simonton leaves the
association Of his free will, and not
at the request or wish of it's mem
bers. In accepting his resignation,
our best wishes go with him for his
complete restoration to health, for
his personal happiness and pros
perity in all the FIXTURE of his life.
