New-York tribune., 1884-01-03


1t seems odd to read the announc ement with re-
card 10 Mr. Arnold lecture tomorrow evening, that
he " will be distinctly heard In all parts tho hall"
This is candid way of letting the public knowthat
the fault has been rcmedcd which detracted SO
much from the interest Of the first leCture-an in
audible tone, which seems to bepeculiarly English.
Now it is to be hoped that there will bo listeners in
"all parts of the hal" to hear Mr.. Arnold.
We respectfully recommend that Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Hill hire hall His discourse to the Senators
was perhaps well enough suited for q Democratic
mass-meeting but was utterly out of place on the
occasion and under the circumstances Of its deliv
ery The Lieutenant-GOverncr Is not member of
the Senate and he should always feel great delcacy
in suggesting any action or crlticSing any already
taken To lecture the Senators In the way no did
was grotesaue performance. The tone of tho adj
dress would have been of doubtful proprety If the
Lieutenant-GovernOr had been in political harmony
with the majority of the body Alr. Hill Is hardly
sufficiently ripe In years or knowledge to play the
schoolmaster on large scale But when every
person who heard the speech knew that not one
word of Its real meaning represented the views of
the majority, but that it was speech hostile to the
majority and made for bunoombe, it must have
seemed almost an insult to the body. The fact that
IL was virtually plea for protection to a system Of
corruption in the City Government, helped to make
this speech on which Mr. Hill had 10 doubt spent
good deal of time and probably prided himself,
thoroughly dsoreditabe one. Mr.. Hill has fired
his ispop-gun in vaiu. Ihe investigations will come.
we are not through with Mr. Hill friend, Thomp-
son, just yet.
The Southcis Stars are showing disposition to

The Legis ature Of South Carolina has Just appro-
priated $40 900 for its exhibit and 1t is regarded
as certain that North Carolina will make an equally
fine display. Ono tobacco company in the latter
State has applied for ivc thousand square feet Of
space, and proposes II T. said, to spend $4,000,
illustrating every department Of tobacco factory.
Other exhibitions of the same kind viii be made,
and the North Carolina mineral exhibit which at
tracted marked attention at the Boston Far will be
shown The managers Of the New-Orleans Fair
display an energy that seems to mean sue cess.
Mr.. Algernon Charles Swlnbume has Just re-
vealed in q satrical poem In The Pail Mall Gdsette
what he would doubtless call a sublime contemptfor
the House Lords and for all Tories and tuf hunters
Herewith come ted. The impartial reader
may be forgiven for thinking that in this sardoniO
chant Of praise there is distinctly perceptibe
drol element of masculine Jealousy. 1t is possible,
for ali his republican sentiment, that If peerage
had been offered to Master Swinburne the Poet,
the scorn of Master Swinbune the Poet would not
have so scathed-
