A DANGEROUS GAME.

Prince Bismarck is pursuing very
dangerous game just now. in his expert
ments in paternal government. 1t seem;
that he thinks it possible to disarm the
Socialists by taking their projects and ap.
plying them under government regulations.
He is thus rapidly converting the State
into a paternal government OF. the most
pronounced and complicated kind, and in
q short time it will become question what
is left fer private capital and enterprise to
undertake. Thus he has introduced a
government insurance system, by which
every workingman is compelled to insure
his life. This of course has cut the ground
from under the private insurance COM
panies. Thus all the railroads are to be
purchased and run by the Government.
Thus it is to take monopoly of tobacco.
Then comes the Government and proposes
to abolish all private schools, and under
take public education entirely. Then it
is proposed that the General Govern
ment should relieve the municipali-
ties Of the care OF the poor. At the same
time protective measures of the most
stringent character embarrass commerce,
and the Chancellor evidently desires to
take charge OF this too if he can. His
passion for interference is in fact extending
so far that it is evident it must before long
encounter some serious check. He is
changing the form of the Government. de.
stroying every vestige Of independence in
the people, teaching them to lean more
heavily upon the State; and at the same
time he thinks he is developing the mill
tary spirit. This is a fatal mistake. A
generation of paternalism will emasculate
Germany, and undo all the results of Bis
marck's life. He is proceeding in the
wrong direction, and il his alarm at
Socialism he is paving the way for the
collapse not only of the Empire but of the
national spirit.

the presumption is strong that the attempt

ing a story to come from Conkling himself
that we think it safest to discredit it for
the present; for while it may be true it is
extremely unlikely that Conkling would
tell the story. What is plain, however,
is that Mr. Conkling has gone into the
lobbies and the streets and taken upon
himself the kind of solicitation and but
tonholing which iustifies the comparison of
his proceedings to those of ward poll
tician. How he can possibly think that a
re. election secured by such methods and
under such circumstances can be in any
sense vindication of his past course, is an
impenetrable mystery.

PAGE AND DODGE.

The charges preferred against Superin-
tendent Dodge, of the Mint, by Congress
man Page, have been telegraphed. They
are various and tolerably specific. Briefly,
Mr.. Page charges Mr.. Dodge with having
violated the law in making the Govern.
ment pay certain charges on coming which
should have been paid by the customers of
the Mint, and in so doing with establishing
a favoritisnl highly detrimental to the
credit of the institution and also, with
having discharged several employees for no
other reason than because they were known
or believed to be friends of Mr.. Page.
The latter has inserted several letters and
kilograms from dismissed employees in his
statement to the President, and he de-
mands an investigation, which has already
been ordered. The defense of Mr.. Dodge
has not yet been made officially, but the
indications are that we shall have in this
inquiry further illustrations of the tend
ency of the spells system, and that it will
show how naturally that system adapts
itself to the erection of personal over pub.

A LAWSUIT EXTRAORDINARY.

While Mr. Seward was member of the
New York bar in active practice in lS4S,
the Postmaster of Syracuse refused to de-
liver newspaper to a Miss FELTON,, to
whom it was addressed, without the pay
ment of a letter postage, the sender hav-
ing placed upon it the initial letter OF
his name. Miss FELTON, thereupon sued
the Postmaster for the value of the
paper, and the case was tried before
Justice of the Peace, who held postal in
structions illegal, and consequently gave
six cents damages and costs of two dol
lars and eighty nine cents for the plain
tiff The case was carried by the Post
master to the Court of Common Pleas,
which affirmed the Judgment, with addi-
tional costs OF $50 95. From there it was
carried to the Supreme, Court of the State,
which added S37 65 to the judgment be-
fore rendered, and the Postmaster then
appealed the case to the Court of Appeals,
where the Judgment was affirmed, and the
additional sum of SIS GA, making
Sl36 so in al. Not satisfied with
this measure of justice in the
State Courts, the Postmaster went with
the case to the Supreme Court of the
United States, where it was deliberately
argued by Mr.. Seward, and decided in
very labored opinion of the Court, affirm
ing the finding of the other Courts, and
rendering judgment accordingly, but with
what costs the record does not show. The
case as decided by the Court of Appeals in
New York is reported in the first Com

UNPRECEDENTED PARIS.

Like all the out-of-the-way parts of

oil lamps. sluug on wires across the street,
or hanging at the desoiate corners from a
sort of wooden gallows. The bacl; streets
of this quarter Chiefly composed of low
stone huts with fiat red tile roofs) have
great resemblance to the old streets and
lanes of the southern French towns-a re-
semblanee which is not little strength
ened by the unsavory odors which prevail
in this unfortunate district, which has ac-
CURED the worst reputation for villainy of
any IN Paris. Nor is this TO be wondered
at. The endless lahyTinths of small pas
sages, the rambling houses with half
dozen entrances, and the numerous courts
or "cites" which abound on all sides, make
it a splendid place TO hide in, or to
escape from if pursued. These "cites"
are many OF them OF ancient construc-
ton, and certainly reflect no credit on
the persons who suffered them to be built.
The space between what must by courtesy
be called the houses, although they are far
more like attle.stalls, rarely exceeds four
feet. No provision of any sort whatever
exists for drainage, and here on either side
of the footway some of the most abandoned
rutians OF Paris may be seen in the day
time taking their ease In their chosen
abodc-whioh they mostly do in sunshiuy
weather by lying on their backs on the
floors of their dens with their feet project
ing through the transforming an avenue
of boots which might be monotonous to the
eye of spectator but for the interposition
of bare foot or two. As rule they seem
to be left completely to their own devices,

erysipelatous appearance, in the hands

"the disappearance of all simultaneous

"The skin becomes abnormally thin,

What we call modesty in dress has been
developed by physical deterioration. Ihe
old Greeks were not afraid or ashamed OF
nudity, not because they were less refined
than we are, but because they understood
the Importance of physical culture, and
because they had raised it to perfection
so great that when we want to know what
real beauty of form is we still have to go
back to ancient Greece for our models.
The Greeks educated the bodies of their
women as well as those of their men. Had
they not done so the men must have de-
Perforated in spite of their gymnastics.
And if Americans expect to develop a
genuine and permanent civilization they
too must take up this question of physical
education seriously, and make it a prime
article of their religion. 1t is much
more important subject than any other
which can engage public attention, for
upon it depends not alone national survival
but individual happiness. 1t is only
by cultivating sound minds in sound bodies
that happiness can be hoped for. And
this question also is the key to the most
vexatious social problems. Temperance
and chastity go hand-in-hand with physl'
cal education. The sins of great cities are
to be avoided in no way SO surely as
through the gymnasium. Every publie
school ought therefore to include physical
education in its curriculum. Enough Tune
ought to be devoted to this to insure the
full development of the body. There
should be no distinction made ON the score
of ssex. Physical culture is needed even
more by the girls than by the boys None
of these reforms will be accomplished
without persistent and continued agitation
but every intelligent man and woman car
help on the change by discussing and adj
vocating it, and thus stimulating public
opinion, and preparing it for practical and
specific propositions.

TIE mEEoAST.Lg ASPECT OF REVISION


The New York Ecenhg Post intimates
that the English publishers of the revised
New Testament have acted throughout
with a single eye to the main chance, and
that they have managed to secure the
lions share Of the profits Of the publica-
ton to themselves, though the revision
was materially aided by American scholars,
The Pot says, rather bitterly: 1.-The ar.
"rangenenrs made have been made in the
expectation that more than a quarter Of
g a million copies OF the book are to be
" sold in ills country at the outset, and
there IS every reason to believe that this
&" Is 20 be the better market of the two.
il" Yet the Eugiialmen who have managed
this matter have spared no effort to Sc.
''sure TO themselves the markets of both
countries. They have permitted Ameri-
"can scholars to share in the work OF re-
vision, and later in the less dignifcd
work Of creating interest by mystic
"rious secrecy and the other acts of shrewd
publishers; but it has been no part Of
their plan to permit any American pub.
Usher to publish the book for the Amer
"ican market, SO long as that could be
avoided. So already there is pros.
pcct OF . sort Of international quarrel over
the revised New Testament, and altogether
upon the sordid standpoint of profit. OF
course il American publishers had pos.
sessed the advantages which their English
cousins had in this instance, they would
have acted with much more unselfishness.
Everybody understands that, and because
our publishers are so peculiarly disinter-
ested themselves it must shock them dread
fully TO be treated in this shabby manner.
The Post asks: Has not the manage
- meut OF this matter been a trile shrewder
&" than is becoming!" Very probably it
has. But since ii was in one sense bust
ness speculation, We do not see how it could
escape being controlled by the principles
which always govern business ventures.
People invested money in it, and they
looked for the best return tras could be
secured. Whoever wishes to see things
done less shrewdly must have them done
g:atuitously and that would involve the
shaking of large amount Of capital by
50 melody. We do not see wi at else was
t. have been expected in this case than
that which has happened, but certainly
there has never been anything to hinder
pieus millionaires from purchasing the
whole edition of the revised testament, and
giving them away. That would have beer
anything but "shrewd," but perl APPS il
would have been becoming.
