TIE PHILHARMONIC CLUES CONCERT.

There was one feature in the first concert OF the
philharmonic Club for this season. at Chickcrng Hall
last night, which challenged the warm praise that
every lover OF music present was willing to give H.
This was the lovely old scptet of Hummel played by
Richard Hoffman, piano; Frledhod Hermann, viola;
Emil Schenck, vlolonceo August Kalhhof, double
bass; Eugene Wener, flute; Carl Pieper, horn and
Joseph Eer, oboe The septet, with its endless repe-
tItions Is worry old-fashoned music, but in 1t there
is such fecitous flow of melody that
1t suggested the perruke period much less
often than the string quartet op l47, by
Rheinberger with which the concert was opened.

TIE CHILDREpS AID SOCIETY.

This is peculiarly appropriate season Of the
year for the publication of such a report as
that of the Chldren's Aid Society, of which
some features are elsewhere printed. The
gratitude which does not seek opportunities to
give others cause to be grateful is rather
stunted and cheap emotion, and solicitude for
the comfort and welfare of poor children is
never more timely than now. 1t is so seldom
their fault that they are subjected to suffering,
grow up in ignorance and initiate the vices
from the knowledge of which they cannot
escape, that there ought to be, and we believe
is, a very general and earnest desire to rescue
them from their misfortunes.
No work Of this sort is accomplished with
more intelige and devotion than that Of the
Children's Aid Society, and we are glad to
learn from the report how well il is supported.
Among the permanent resources which have
been placed at its disposal during the year are
a clearinghouse and industrial school at Forty
fourth ST. and Second-aye., for which Mr.. Nor
ris X. Jesup gave the sum of S5i ,OOO an
industrial school on Mott-st., costing, with the
lot, $4,000 and presented by Mr.. John j.
Astor in memory of Mrs. Aston whose love and
care for the children of the poor are thus per-
petually signaized two cottages for the sick
poor at the Health Home on Coney Island,
erected by Mrs. w. II. Vanderbilt and Mrs.
W. d. Sloane a cottage built by Mr.. Fabbri
for the Italian poor at Coney Island; cottage
for crippled girls at the Summer Home at
Bath, and the sum of $4,000, given anony-
mously, for an industrial school on the East
Side which will be built so soon as suitable
site has been obtained. These gifts serve to
indicate not only the solicitude Of the bene-
factors, but the spirit and purposes of the So
ciety which has been made their trustee. II
is impossible to exaggerate the influence of
such work as this. Every hapless child of
n great city made comfortable and trained to
prefer a clean and industrious life is powerful
lever to lift the community to a higher level
of civilization.
1t is the nature of successful work in every
department of human activity constantly to
outgrow its resources, and the charitable people
of this city should not forget that the new
enterprises of the Children's Aid Society, made
possible by such benefactions as we have noted
can be made fully effective only by more liberal
contributions. But money is not the only thing
needed. There is wide field for the volun-
tary labors Of young men and women, and few
gifts could be more valuable than gifts Of time
and energy

TILE NATLONS GROWTK.

Few realize how rapidly the country is in
creasng in wealth in the best and most perma-
nent sense. Wealth does not really increase
when prices of unproductve land are marked
up, or when values of any property are in
hated without increase in its production or
power to satisfy human wants. But the true
increase has been in the discovery or utilization
of greater natural resources. Within the last
few years the change in that respect has been
almost incalculable. So frequent are such
changes now that scarcely any attention is at
tracted to the announcements, made almost
every day, that new mines of iron have been
discovered or opened in one State, or of gold
or Of silver in another, or Of zinc or tin or
other metals in other States, or new wells Of
natural gas opened in territory now reaching
from Arkansas to Western New York. or that
new farms have been taken up and brought
under cultivation, or that new inventions have
rendered more useful the forces OF electricity
or of chemical affinity, or the discoveries of
science These announcements multiply so
rapidly that even in the scientific world few
are able to keep pace with the progress made
daily by sixty millions of people.
There is more appreciation, perhaps, OF the
rapid development in farming than in any other
direction. Yet relatively little is known of
the progress in that respect. Dakota produced
last year more than 50 100000 bushels Of
wheat and when the last census was taken less
than 5000, 900; how many realize that in the
settlement within this one territory in eight
years there has been added a wheat producing
capacity equal to more than one-sixth of the
entire Nation in 1870? Yet this is but one of
the growing Territories, while the development
in some of the States has been scarcely less
rapid The single fact that there have been

distance, but TO thousands each well means a
new world. The number OF such centres of
development is now so great that the general
cost of production in important branches of
industry is affected.
The astonishing growth Of mining and man.

A RECORD BREAKING YEAR.

The year 1888 has been consistent with it
self, if not with the long procession Of its
predecessors who have gone before ii down the
corridors of time. 1t has been cold wet
year. a disagreeable year, and, except for the
vast political blessings with which it will al
ways be associated, it would have had black
mark in every calendar. Nobody would have
been particularly surprised if the last week OF
November and all four weeks Of December had
been in keeping with the record, but we vent
ure to say while waiting to hear from the
weather prophets, who seem to have been re-
markably quiet and inoffensive the last three
days. that nobody expected or mad the least
reason to suspect that such tempest as thai
which has strewn sea and land with wrecks
was included in the programme of 1888. Per
sons who sat snugly by their fresides while
the storm was at it's height, and especially on
Sunday night, may smile at the fancy which
compares it to the blizzard of last March but
they are probably the same persons who enter
tanned disparaging opinion Of that wild trl-
multi OF The elements so long as it lasted, and
only discovered their mistake when it was
over. But no one who tried to make Roadway
against the wind of Sunday night or proceed
decorously with the wind behind him could
have failed to reflect that if the temperature
had been a few degrees colder there would have
been two memorable billiards within nine
months.
1t is too early to estimate with even remote
approximation to the truth the destruction Of
property which the storm has caused. and it is
altogether probable that the record Of lives
lost is yet far from complete. Not until hum
dreds of belated vessels have been heard from
can there be any certainty how many human
sacrifices have been exacted. Great ocean
steamships care little for any wind that blows
so long as they have plenty of sea-roOm, and
those which arrived yesterday report that they
were not seriously incommoded, though they
caught the full force of the Storm But sail
ing vessels, and especially those which are
heavy laden and expect TO hug the coast. were
certainly in great danger for many hours, and
there is reason to fear that not few Of them
failed to escape. Already we have accounts
of dreadful loss of life on the coast of New
England and from Portland to Cape May the
destruction of property has been enormous.
When to this is added the cost Of replacing
what the wind tore down at thousand inland
points it is apparent that those who are occa-
sionally heard to say that they enjoy great
storms have just enjoyed an expensive luxury.

Congress will doubtless attach good deal
of weight to the report of the commission
which undertook to negotiate the purchase OF
one-half of the Sioux Reservation. 1t is under
stood that the report recommends the passage
of bill giving the Indians substantially the
terms offered them when their leaders visited
Washington. There is every disposition on the
part of the Government to deal fairly and just
ly with the Indians, but Captain Pratt is I'M
doubtedy right when he says that the whioe
men know what is good for the Indian better
than the Indian himself. The sooner the In
