Cash.

From the point Of view Of our esteemed
contemporary. the Minneapolis Tribune.
there comes this comical estimate Of the
present state of the project to hold a
Worlds Fair:
THE Sun will 20 down in history as the only party
which actually gave up cold, hard cash to encourage
chmerica plan to hold the Worlds Fair in New York
city"
That fancy may be entertained. perhaps,
for few weeks more. At the end Of that
time, or. In other words, when the work on
the Fair really begins. the cold. hard cash
from all OF the $50OO,OO0 subscribers will be-
gin to pour in and, sinking into the soil
above Central Park. 1t will steadily pile itself
up into a group Of the most beautiful and
most colossal structures that have ever yet
been raised for the purpose Of an interna-
tional exhibition. Then THE Suns cash and
the other moneys which have been paid in
by the energetic members Of the General
Committee will have slathers OF company.
Remember. however, that not only in this
case will the more be the merrier. but also
the more. the better Fair. There is no limit
for the number of subscribers, or for the
amount Of their subscriptions Let them
come in a steady and unhampered stream.

upon street cars at the time the resolution
was passed and tho agreement made In
1852 and 1853, the provision for the payment
OF license for each car on the Third Avenue
Railroad became Intellectual. Both parties
according TO his vlew labored under mis-
take OF fact; but this he thought, did not
entitle the plaintiff to resort to some other
ordinance than such as related to street
cars for the purpose Of giving effect TO the
agreement and resolution In question. "At
the time Of the passage OF the resolution"
he said, "the term car had a well defined,
unmistakable Specification. It could never
be confounded with stages or an accommo-
datlon coach. The stages ran from partlcu-
lar stands, used all portions OF the street,
and landed their passengers at the curbstone
on either side; in the winter time they were
often replaced by sleighs." For these and
other reasons Judge MAooMBRR was OF the
opinion that the parties did not intend that
the ordinance relating to the old-fashioned
stages should apply to the now street cars.
The Court Of Appeals however, has unani-
mously decided that the view taken by the
trial Judge and the majority OF the General
Term is correct. The opinion is written by
Judge DANFoRTH, who says:
"Ths governing sense Of the resolutions giving the
Third Avenue road its charter 10 obvious enough. In
consideration Of tho franchise conferred the road shall
pay license fee from the opening Of the road annu
ally and II In to pay fee not thereafter to be imposed
but already imposed and then existing The ordinance

tion, a. In their definition the words quoted are
the same II plain that the modern railroad has
been evolved from the old Stage coach The words
quoted be said to have no legal fixed means Of
distinguishing from the other. Al the railroad
perssded the stage line. which had paid annually .
license foe referred TO- thero was no reason why the
railroad should bo favored more than the stage line,
and another evidence that the city expected 10 get
from the railroad had heretofore received from
tho stage company. We think the fees mentioned in
the ordinance within the intention Of both parties
expressed in tho conditions referred TO- and
with the court below that their payment may properly
be enforced"
The amount recovered by the city In the
first suit was $46,72445. Interest on this
Judgment has been running since Nov. 20,
1886. In the second case the recovery was
S42, 2,917.57, on which interest Is to be calcu-
lated since Jan. 1s, 1887. The result Of this
notable litigation must be regarded as an
important legal victory for the city.

A Chance-shall 1t be Thrown Away -?

While the renewed brightness Of the DEM
ocratic lamp tends to throw into shadow
the Republican prospects as they are con-
centrated about the present Administration,
our esteemed contemporary, the Kansas
City Times, remarks:
If we cannot beat the Republican party after four
years Of BENJAMIN HARRISON, we can't beat anything"
The law Of gravitation nowhere acts with
more certain or persistent force than In the
Democratic party. Nomatter how rent it may
be by this mans stupidity or how deadened
by that ones political avarice, its funda-
mental sentiment Ia so indestructible and so
potent that 1t only needs time and oppor-
tunity for its scattered and spiritless parts
to get together again In full vigor.
Does 1t ever occur to the architects Of
Democratic disaster that, at any time since
SAMUEL J. RANDALL rose to his present
eminence in Congress and SAMUEL j. TIL
DEN first assumed openly,the responsible di-
recton Of the party in New York, the united
Democracy has possessed the power to elect

Unless 1t is to be deliberately split again.
and again harassed out Of its now rapidly re-
turning party enthusiasm, it can elect the
President In 1892.

were solid lines OF street cars for seven and
sometimes more blocks along Broadway below
Worth street. and In some OF the tributary
streets. Few OF the cars were compllmented
by even one passenger. and the drivers and
conductors sat on the dashboards and Rlooni-
lily reckoned up their lost trips, which meant so
much less pay. Waits OF half an hour without
moving were not uncommon. and attempts to
relieve the jam by turning wagons into Mail

The Dav OF Thanks.

A holiday, OF whose celebration a good
dinner Is the distinguishing feature, is OF
course bound to be popular. But, after all,
Thanksgiving Day had It's origin in the pro-
found religious faith and conviction Of the
early Puritans, and its observance would
not have extended over the whole Union
except for the prevailing belief that the
blessings received by man come from the
hands Of q personal and all-powerful COP
who has the actual direction Of the universe
and feels for His creatures the solicitude OF
. loving Father. Its establishment and
maintenance are distinct declaration by the
people that such Is their faith.
The agnostic theory that the universe is
governed by impersonal law. unvarying and
1nvsriable, and no more regardful Of the
prayers OF mankind than the blind forces Of
mature, does not appeal to the popular mind
and heart. They need COP to love and
fear, TO worship and supplicate. According
to the agnostic conception, there is nothing
for which man has to give thanks to the
power controlling the universe. It has cared
nothing for him, but rather from his very
birth has been working for his destruction.
Floods and earthquakes come without re-
gard to his moral worth, and he Ia safe
against the merciless forces OF nature only
90 far as he hghts and conquers them for his
benefit. But mankind generally will not
tolerate such theory. They believe that
there "a q senttent GoD whose heart can be
moved by their prayers, and to whom they
can appeal as individuals known to Him and
regarded by Him.
Nor is there any other country Of the
world In which that religious sentiment is
moro widespread than in this Therefore
to-day the churches Of every faith will be
crowded with worshippers, who will offer
humble thanks to Almighty GoD not meas
uring their sorrows over against their hap
piness but counting both as administered
By His love and wisdom.
It will be very impressive spectacle. It
will show how strong remains the religious
faith Of the people; as the bounties which
they to-day pour out on the poor, the neg
lected, the Imprisoned. and the outcast will
prove the extent and reality Of their Chris
tian charity.
