NEW. PORK .lSE SPRING RESORT


'' Inntirnerable essays have been written to
prove that New York is all indispensable sum
mer resort and loyal citizens Of this expansive
city by the sea are Theoretically convinced oil
the fact II must be acknowledged that prac-
ticalIy as many Of them as can contriye to do
so are in the habit of dispensing over the face
Of the earth long before the sun has touched
the first point of Cancer and Of staying away
almost until he Is ready TO renew his acquaint-
ance with Capricorn. But this default may be
ascribed to custom, to the demands Of fashion
and to laudable desire to give the dear chill
dren O change of scene and air, and does not
invalidate the claims Of the metropolis TO dis
tinction as hot weather sanitarium.
But even supposing that here and there a
blase globe-trotteF should affect to despiSe tho
attractions Of New-York as summer resort is
there man or woman so dense as not to per-
ceiYe It's superlative charms In spring. Where
else are piles of masonry and acres OF pavement
so suddenly and bewitchingly transhgured'
Where else is the loneliness Of nature so en-
HANGED by comparison and contrast? What
other atmosphere is so soft and sweet, and yet
so yitaIized by ocean AeezeS as the atmosphere
Of New-York? Every open square is delight
to all the senses, and rs for Central Park. tho
countryman who never looked upon that Para
disc in early May has lost more than he can
easily imagine It is always beautiful but
never before within our recollection have heat
and moisture done 30 perfect work as during
the last three weeks. There have been and
there stl are, though their perfection Is no
longer absolute, single hooks OF loneliness that
were worthy Of a pilgrimage, and many wis
taria rooted arbor has been a revelation of such
sumptuous but still ethereal beauty as TO make
a whole season memorable.
A million visitors came and went in the irst
week Of May, and were duly impressed with
tho artificial pageants Of the time, but they iu't
'ssed vision Of metropolitan delights which
we venture to say, would have surprised many
Of them more than anything they saw. We ad-
wise a few select thousands OF our guests to
come again next year, but to come fortnight
later II they accept the invitation, they Will
never need 10 be asked again, for they will DIS
cover that while half thousand other places
arc preparing 10 vauut their midsummer charms
each hoping TO be pronounced II not facle mt
least difiirlo princeps, New York as q spring
resort is simply incompatible.

costs conflicting conclusions and gives rise to
nseless roasoning.p This study of Russian lit
arature was also interdicted on like grounds
and. indeed all branGhu Of learning save
Greek and Latin were either prescribed or
hopelessly discouraged. And the study OF Latin
and Greek was confined almost exclusively 10
the driest possible grammatical exercises In
stead of reading Homer they read the lexicon I;
instead Of reading Cicero they committed 70

The number Of schools was corcSpondlngy re-
duced until in Moscow, for example, where
there were 100, 900 children between tho ages
Of five and thirteen years there was school
room for only 900. In an Empire with over
90 600, 600 inhabitants the annual appropria-

executor Of this infamous regime was some
wears ago nOminally retired from the Ministry
Of Public Instruction hut as Minister Of the
Interior he continued to be the Cars most
potent adviser, and the Sharklcs which he had
forged were not removed from the schools oil
Russia. Now that he is dead, 1t remains to bo
seen whether the evil that he did Is to live
after him. or whether tho Car will cease treas

mcnt, and will allow the nation To enter paths
Of intellectual enlargement and social freedom.

was held last night and the fact that the occasion
was made something of decennia celebration served
TO bring together particularly brilliant gathering.

TOLSTOrS CAMPAIGN AGAINST LEIRNING

The death Of Count Demetrius TolstOi, whom
Stepniak long ago named " the Scourgc OF
Russia" removes from cOntemporaneOus his
tory its most remarkable anach rOnism. The
simple fact that such a man has lived, and
during the last ten years has exercised dom
inant influence over the policy OF the GOyegn-
mcnt and the deStnies Of the people reveals az
fully as a volume could the depOrabIe condition
Of Russia snd the magnitude Of the revolution
that must some day be brought about. Here
vas a ruling statesman who deliberately strOve
10 dehunnniZg q nation, 70 uneducate IL, to
ab Olish It's literature and abase it's intelligence,
TO say 10 people who were like IAN infant
crying in the might, al infant crying for the
light" that they should have no light, but must
remain forever in darkness. II was one OF the
crowning infamies OF African slavery in Amei-
ca that 1t denied to its victims the right to
learn TO read, lest they should aspire TO free
dom. This Russian statesman said in effect 10
his millions Of cOuntIymen that they should not
learn even TO read the literature of their own
land, lest education should antagonze Czarism.
The war Of the Russian Government against
education began in the reign Of Alexander |,
and was vigorously pressed by the reactionary
control. Alexander II showed a more liberal
spirit and not only extended the scope Of learn
Ing. but greatly increased the number Of schools
Of all kinds throughout the Empire. In 1866,
however, an attempt TO take his life was made
by student, and it was discovered that dis.
affection was widespread and still more widely
spreading throughout the universities. where
upon the Gar revived the worst repreSyive
measures Of the former reignS. Institutions OF
learning were suppressed and their faculties
exiled, and in the schools that remained open
the policeman was substituted for the teacher
and the bayonet for the fcrule. The fitting
agent chosen to execute this system was Count
DemetriuS ToIstO and his hand fell heavily
everywhere, from the primary village school
10 the highest university. THE less people
know" he said, "the more easily are they gov
erned." Accordingly, the study OF history, save
in Greek and Roman classics was prohibited,
and from the classic textbooks all passages re-
