The proposition to give to Lieutenant-Gen-
eral Sheridan the title of General, which Grant
and Sherman alone in our history have borne
comes late, but there is yet hope that u may
not be too late. 1t is announced from WASH
ington that the Senate Military COMMITTEE
will bring forward the necessary bill to-day
The honor will be fttingly bestowed ON the
gallant commander, who to all appearances is
nearing his end.
The sermon reported on another page to-day
possesses exceptional interest. The preacher
was DIR. Charles L. Thompson. of Kansas City,
Moderator of the Presbyterian General AS
sembly. now in session in Philadelphia, and he
spoke in Dr. Crosby's church, where the CEN
eral Assembly is to meet year hence Dr.
Thompson's life has been passed and his work
mostly done in what used to be called the
Western States. He is an excellent presiding
officer, and his pulpit manner is pleasing and
effective.
The Irish show no signs of retreating before
the dictates or threats of Rome, whether de-
liyered at first or second hand. OF the meet
ings held yesterday, the most important was
that at Limerick, to which special attention
had been directed by Bishop O'Dwyer's warn

is a matter of general interest

Club, true to its declarations and faithful TO
the interests of honorable racing in this coun-
try, stands firm in its opposition to the DOCK
makers, and will undertake to fulfil all the
promises Of its spring meeting without their
assistance. Failure has been predicted by
many stanch patrons Of the turf it has been,
prayed for by the professional gamblers
yet, notwithstanding the absence of bookmak-
= ers and the strong competition of the Brooklyn
Jockey Club on Tuesday and Wednesday, the
stables at jerome Park are already flied to
overfowing with the best horses now in train
ing. Shall the bookmakers rule the turf?
Wait week and hear the emphatic "No' Of

II is to be hoped that the effort which a
number of citizens and property owners in
Long Branch are making to redeem that resort
from the domination of saloons and dsreputa-
BILE persons will meet with marked success
As il is a matter of dollars and cents with
many of those who have engaged in the work
of stamping out vicious resorts esince the value
of their property is being affected by the
change which has come over the Branch), there
is every probability that they will push their
