~ seen, and generally in company of his
son, George, or of some masculine friend.
don't recall ever seeing him with his wife
or family. In other words, they are not
the patrons of music, the drama or cognate
arts. Gould, as you know, has never
put any of his money into public build
ing or done anything in any way to ad-
vance the material interests of the city,
and, of course not, of his fellow men.
With the exception of the great union
depot, built by the original Vanderbilt.
and the few houses in which William H.
and the rest of the crowd live, the Wander
bilt family have added nothing to the out
ward beauty and majesty of this great
metropolis. At the time of the burning
of his stables he took off one-half the cars
that were running between the postofice
and Eighty-fourth street. After little he
restored few of them. In the course of
few months he put on more cars, but the
latter additions were drawn as far as
Eighth street only, and no transfer tickets
are given from that point to the city hall.
You can readily imagine the cheerful con-
dition of man in the rain, or woman in
the wind, or children in despair, who find
themselves installed on car which can
take them to Eighth street only, their des
tination being the lower end of the city.
The conductors are instructed not to give
transfer tickets. The consequence is that
about one-sixth of the passengers pay
double fare. Now, it is clear to
any mans mind who cares to be
honest in the matter, that Mr.. Van
derbilt's charter compels him to carry
people from Eighty-fourth street to the
postofice, and vice versa, to any inter-
mediate point selected by the passenger,
but what does he care for vested rights,
for charters, for privileges! He pays
nothing to the city for the franchises
given him. He does not even pay his
more than the rate charged on any other
line,) and when complaint is made the
complainer is laughed at and the quiet
policy of ''pay no attention to news
papers" is assiduously pursued. Do not
make any mistake about it. This mans
emu Is cerSdlu, noI, perhaps, as an 1ndl-
vidual, but as type, and if he lives ten
years longer 1 can't imagine that even
that qualification would be a necessity.
You will take note that neither Wander
bilt nor Gould is known to the public eye.
AS individuals they don't amount to
shucks, but as representative oppressors
they take the cake, bake-house and wagon
before the door,

CERTAIN preacher in an Eastern city in
a late sermon full of unctious homilies
and complacent platitudes, presented a
roseate hue of the worlds present condi-
ton and claimed that it is growing better
and far excels in morality and virtue its
condition a few generations ago. Such a
man must be going with blinded eyes
through life. He certainly cannot read
the daily journals of the day which serve
up every morning a rehearsal of the very
carnival of crime in every form, of high
and low degree, crimes many of them of a
soul-curdiing and most atrocious character.
In every department of human life, bust
ness, religious, social and domestic, moral
ity seems to be weakened, iniquity abounds
and a dissolute leprosy seems to have
struck the very foundations of upright
life in vast and startling dimensions and
what is worst of all the church seems large
" to have lost its grip and its power to re-
strain vice and exalt virtue, while an easy
going pulpit prophesies smooth things, a
phase of moral blindness and stupidity
painful to contemplate.

LIEUTENANT Powell and party have re-

He thinks the data collected from there
will be of vast importance. While at St.

Powell that after the United States steam

heavy northeast wind prevailed at where
the Rodgers was burned and drove an ice
pillow ashore upon which was body, very
black and much swollen, and without

AS HAS already been announced, the
Archbishop of Canterbury died on the
morning Of Dec. 3, at his residence in Lon
don. His illness was severe one, and his
death had been anticipated for several
days. He passed away quietly, and appar-
emily without suffering, in the presence of
his three daughters, Mr.. Davidson, his SON
in-law, Cannon Knollys and DR.. Carpenter.
The day before his death he remained in a
semi unconscious state, occasionally asking
for water. About II o'clock at night he
spoke his last words: 9It is coming, it is
coming" He was then seized with sharp
spasm and did not speak again, although
it is believed that he was partly conscious
to the end. At o'clock in the morning
he exhibited signs of dissolution. It is
understood that the dean Of Westminster.
on behalf of the queen, has offered burial
for the archbishop's remains in Westmin-
ster abbey. The decision rests with the de-
ceased's daughters. Mufisd peals were
rung in the adjacent town of Croydon.
and the archbishop's death was touching
ly referred to at tho morning services.
Archibald Campbell TAFT was an English
clergyman, born in Edinburg, Dec. 22,1811.
He was educated at the University of Edin-
burg and at Balliol college, Oxford, and
was aftsrward public examiner of the uni
veIsity. He was prominent in the opposi-
ton to the Tractarians. In 1912 he sue
ceeded DR.. Arnold as head master of Rugby
school, whore he remained eight years. In
1850 he was made dean of Carlisle, in 1856
bishop of London, and in 1868 archbishop
of Canterbury. He published ''The Dan
gers and Safeguards of Modern Theology

The Evening critic., 1882-08-28

IT APPEARS from the researches Of our re-
porters that the Staff Ring in the War De-
partment have undertaken bigger job
than they anticipated in their attempt to
punish General Sturgis for his testimony
last winter before the Military Committee
of the Senate in regard to the Irregularities
of the Board of Commissioners of the Sol
diers' Home. Senator Conger, who is q
member of the Military Committee, hap
pened to be in town when the plot devel-
oped, and he at once undertook, on behalf
of the Senate, TO protect General Sturgis
from the vengeance of the Board. The
point made by Senator Conger that it is
tho duty Of the Senate to protect its Wit
nesses is unanswerable.
1t may be easy enough for Messrs. Drum
& Co. to persecute Sturgis, but We appro-
hend that they will think twice before
they undertake an issue with the Senate Of
the United States on q question Of privi-
lege, which is theshape that the matter has
now assumed. If this affair shall serve as
lesson to the insolent satraps of the War
Department staff, it will have been worth
all the trouble it has caused. We might
add, by way Of advice to the satraps, that
Senator Conger is troublesome antagonist
and, in q case like this, where he would in
evitably DO backed up by the whole Senate
he would be o very dangerous one,

Jewish Mode OF Strengthening.

Hebrew Leader.
The Jewish method OF slaughtering, says tho
JeiCtsh World, Is notable, not alone for the hu-
mane and practically painless manner In
which death 10 inflicted and the wholesome
condition OF tho meat thus obtained for food,
but for tho curious way In which tho legs are
fastened by the Shochetim prior to the slaugh-
tering. Those who have witnessed the opera
ton cannot but have boon struck by this. In
stead Of tying the four legs of the animal, only
three aro bound. The two hind legs are
secured together and then one OF the
fore legs Is tied to them, thus leaving
this custom, nor can any explanation be given
as TO tho why or wherefore OF so curious u
practice. for curious It certainly is. 1t has al
ways been done from time immemorlal 1t Is
not n little interesting, therefore, to point out
TO our readers fact communicated by a cor
respondent. one of the most ancient Egyp.
tian mural Inscriptions known-one at least
1000 years old-depicts n number of
oxen being brought for sacrifice by
an Egyptian priest. In front is to be
observed ono of the animals thrown
upon the ground-just as our modern
Shochetim throw them-ready for slaughter,
the priest at his head brandishing his knife.
And 1t is remarkable to notice that the animal
is bound exactly in the peculiar way our Sho-
chetim now now bind and have always bound
their cattle, the two hind and ono OF the front
legs together, the fourth limb free. Tho
inscription and picture described may be
found depicted in Eber's "Egypt," p. 1873. 1t
is quito possible that tho custom may have
been derived from the Egyptian practice, In
which case some learned Egyptologist might
be enabled 10 furnish us with an explanation.

The ANNOUNCEMENT that General Sin
gleton, of Illinois, has decided to make an
Independent canvass for Congress is exceed
ingly gratifying, not only to his host of
friends everywhere, but to everybody who
is disguised with the prevailing methods
of machine politics in party organizations.
General Singleton is one of the best men in
Congress, in every sense of the word. He
was beaten for denomination by cabal of
local politicians, the whole corporation of
whom could not in a lifetime command the
respect or influence in the House that Gen.
eral Singleton would gain in one term. His
independent candidacy will undoubtedly
be successful, as his vote in the Quincy dis
trict has always been largely non-partisan,
owing to his personal popularity and the
large number of his old soldiers who are
scattered through the district, who are
always for him, without distinction OF
party. Perhaps General Singleton could
be of greater usefulness in Congress on an
independent basis than as member of any
Caucus
