Largeau, whose interesting journey- ings in that waste of sand are recounted on another page. The object of the expedition is to discovera practicable route by which the wealth of the Soudan can be brought to European markets. Every effort that tends to familiarize us with the mysterious lands of Central Africa enlarges our geographical knowledge and also the sphere of civilized activity. When Stanley, Cameron, Largeau and other bold explorers complete their labors we may hope to have completed the scientitid conquest of the tropical world. Tne Anouition or THE Emtcration Com- mission, by the recent decision of the Su- preme Court of the United States practically, breaks down the barriers which protected the immigrant from the rapacious land sharks that infest the port of New York and prey on the ignorance and confidence of the newly arrived steerage passengers. The ‘horrors and outrages of the ante-commission days are likely to be renewed unless the law— tither State or national—intervenes to pro- ‘ect the innocent victims of, shall we say, misplaced confidence in our desire and ability to protect them. By all means pro- tect the immigrant, or by law prevent him from seeking a home in this country. Wacyer’s New Opera, ‘Tristan and {solde,” has received its first representation at Berlin in presence of the imperial court and a brilliant assemblage. The plot is founded on the loves of a prince of Corn- wall and an Irish princess, which terminate fatally, and illustrates the general roughness of the road to happiness. The opera was received throughout with prolonged bursts of applause, which showed how skilfully both the composer and the artists had touched the tender chord in the heart of a sympathetic audience, Wagner has achieved another great triumph and tho admirers of his music a new source of pleasure.

Tho week brings with it sacred associa- tions, which interfere with a due apprecia- tion of what we owe to politics and patriot- ism. Tousas Americans this year will be fall of interest. We celebrate the centennial of our independence. We have an impor- tant Presidential canvass. ‘The election of Lincoln decided the fate of slavery. The issne in the fall may be the fate of the nation. In 1860 the question was whether slavery should have control of the Territories. That ended in the dostruction of slavery. In 1876 ve may have to decide whether the Union is minal and the worth the hundred years of trouble we have | taken to preserve it. If we were to continue in this vein we might find ourselves in the mood befitting the sacretl season which now interests the Christian world—the season in which millions commemorate’ the sufforings of our Saviour, In these hours, consecrated to meditation and devotion, we may be par- duned gloomy forebodings as to the futnro of a republic whose century plant is Bel- knapism. Rut if the shades of our ancestors reproach us, as well they might, we have only to recall Arnold and Burr and a few others who did as much to dishonor the Rev- olution as Belknap has done to dishonor the centennial of the Revolution. There are re- flections of a lighter hue in which we may reasonably indulge, especially as the treacherous spring, with its storms and | winds, seems to be in a relenting mood, With sunnier days we have the coming of renewed business activity. The Hrranp is as full of advertisements as a spring tree with blossoms. The representative news- | paper has its seasons, and those who study the philosophy of journalism cannot fail to note that the season of growth in naturé is the season of our highest business pros- perity. A newspaper with seventy-one columns of advertisements is certainly justi- fied in taking a cheerful view of society and the State; for it is not among the least desirable fruits of these hundred years of liberty that the journal has become the index of the national prosperity. The Heratp to-day goes out to all the world not merely as a newspaper record of what happened yesterday in many lands, but as the servant of multitudes of men and women. An ingenious writer says that the last columns in the newspaper to fade are those recording marriages and deaths. If we could throw our fancy into 1976, and have before us this morning's Henarp, nothing would be so interesting as these seventy-one columns of advertisements which stand side by side like so many serried columns. What activity and interest and industry they rep- resent! What hopes and fears, what aims and dreams, what whims and aspirations are marshalled in close array!

If our interest in this life is not too much absorbed in care for the life to come here are the singers and the players to amuse us. In one direction we hear the drums of Agincourt, with Mr. Rignold as the English king, while in another we hear the uproarious laughter which welcomes Wal- lnck’s interpretation of the genius of Sheridan. Here is the world of com- merce and trade, which overflows into so many columns, telling us of stuffs and to say to souls hungering for of life. wary agents.

One sees the suns of the Mediterranean in the sheen of silk and velvet, and we are car- ried to far and strange Jands, and an ancient imperial civilization as we read of cashmeres from Japan and cloths from Madras and fabrics deftly woven by fingers in Persia. And from the world of business we pass to other worlds—of men and women seeking homes and offering homes, of humble ones who crave employment, of country friends who begin with the singing birds to tell us of mountain air and the seaside, the forest andthe stream. Here are the auctioneers, ready to knock down anything, from a dia- mond necklace to a kitchen stove, if our readers have any ambitions to become the highest bidders. Here are ships and steam- ers to carry us to the ends of the earth. Here are business opportunities for those who desire to make rapid fortunes; money to lend and money to borrow; and, more than all, that column which will, no doubt, outlive all that we print to-day, and which records the marriages and deaths—tbe col- umn which, if we were in a decrating mood, should always be entwined with the leaves ot the cypress and the flowers of the orange. Truly this is the world, and it does not even require the imagination to go from col- umn to column to see the many currents which swell the stream of life. Thus it is that the journal becomes the symbol of our generation. How tame even aro the ablest editorials, the most thoughtful essays and reviews, the criticisms, the invectives, tho many conceits, the pictures of London and Paris life flashed across the seas, when com- pared with the reality embodied in every nd- vertisement!

The name of Theodore D. Woolsey, former President of Yale College, has beem men- tioned in connection with the mission to England, and it cannot be disputed that this would be an admirable appointment, if President Grant should make it. But we still think that Mr. Longfellow would be the best selection. The choice of General Schenck’s successor ought to be made with reference tothe main object to be accori- plished in England in ‘this pect-_ liar juncture. All wise governments se- lect their foreign agents with prope" adap- tation to the ‘ure of the service to be rendered.

There is not 3 intelligent English family in which Mr. gmame has not long been a house- held word, He is loved and honored wher- ] ever the English tongue is spoken, and he would repeive an amount of social courtesy and distinetion which would be accorded to no other representative of our government. | Warm @flmiretion of his genius and his a gentleman would cause his © be forgotten, and Mr. Long- etity in every rank of English Would wash and sweeten the tainted | repototion of the American Embassy.

It would be a characteristic variation on this for our city to see men with just enough capital to own a’cab and a few horses work- ing their own vehicle for passengers as the cartmen do for cartage, and thus giving to the occupation the vitality of personal enter- yrise. Two Leading Journals—The Herald and the London Times. It sometimes happens that the London Times, which is the only journal which, in size, in circulation and in advertising patronage, at all compares with the Henatp, presents a remarkable contrast in its editions to the daily editions of this paper. Take, for instance, the issue for March 24. On that day the Times printed a quadraple sheet of 96 columns, Just one-half the paper—that is, 48 columns—was advertising, and the advertisements were 2,068 in num- ber. On the 2d of April the Hznazp also had o quadruple sheet of 96 columns, of which 63 columns were advertisements, or 15 columns in excess of the Times, while the number reached 3,007, or 937 in excess of the Times. To-day we print a quintuple sheet, containing 120 columns, of which 71 columns are .advertisements, It will thus be seen not only that our business is largely in excess of the Times, but we present other advantages which the Times does not possess. Tho Times does not properly classify its ad- yertisements, but mixes all kinds together, making it difficult for persons secking infor- mation on a particular subject to find the advertisements relating to it or for an adver- tiser to find his own advertisement. The Heratp, on the other hand, carefully classi- fies all its advertisements under proper headings. Out of the 63 columns of advertisements in the issne of April 2 there were 72 different subjects or classifica- tions, and these are made still moro ac- cessible to the advertiser or the person in search of anything advertised in the Hrnatp by a directory, which is placed in the first column of the first page of the paper. And we afford advertisers still further facilities ness may increase, with a rising temperature and indications of rain. The low barometer in the South Atlantic States will probably move along the coast and we may expect to experience its influence to-morrow. The depression now central in the Uppes Mississippi Valley will also move eastward, and there is a possibility that it may meet the southern storm at or off the New Eng- land coast, in which event a heavy storm may be developed in that region and over Nova Scotia. The weekly summary of ob- servations at the Central Park Meteorologi- cal Observatory gives the following record :~ Barometer—Mean, 29.909 inches; maximum, 30.409 inches; minimum, 29.448 inches Thermometer—Mean, 42.3 degrees; maxi- mum, 59 degrees; minimum, 30 degrees. Rainfall on the 3d and 4th, 2.37 inches, The daily weather bulletins from Washington have been rather cloudy since the beginning of the month. Yesterday ‘‘clear pr partiy clear” weather was announced for a large section of the country, which is by no means clear enough, coming from the Signal Ser- vice. The predictions are usually very pre- cise, The English University Boat Race. The prophets were right, and those who pin their faith on the mysterious people who make the odds have an argument in their favor. The Oxonians appear never to have had ao chance of winning from the start, but the time in which the race was ‘rowed—twenty minutes nine- teen seconds—shows what tough competitors they had to deal with, and their own time, only a few seconds later, gives them ahighly honorable record. The whole story of this race, as sketched by our corre- spondent, with its million of on- lookers, forms a stirring recital, and gives on unmistakable pledge for the future of those physical sports which in an age of thought and mental wear and tear have attracted worldwide attention and in- creased the number of their votaries from year to year. From sports like horse racing, in which the work is done by n gentleman's property in horseflesh and his hired men, the through our branch offices. Nearly two thousand of the advertisements published in ‘the Hznatp of April 2 were received at the branch office, No, 1,265 Broadway, distant about two and a half miles from the Henanp Building. They were re- ceived between six and nine o'clock, it being necessary to close business at the latter hour, in order to secure proper classification of the advertising in the Henatp. As it is necessary within these few hours to count every word, to calculate the amount to be charged for the same, to make the required entries in the proper world of endeavor in which the best, the most intelligent and the wealthiest take part has been widened. Yachting, boating, foot racing, rifle shooting and polo have their ardent disciples in the highest classes. An age which in a quarter of a cen- tury can thus concentrate so much on mus- cle, nerve and stamina, while developing in an extraordinary degree in invention, science and the arts, gives a splendid promise of perpetuating the type of perfect manhood to the generations to come. ‘Che growth of the interest in sports like boat racing may be well exemplified in the story of books, and to sign and despatch each adver- tisement to the composing room—there to be put in type, revised and placed in the forms ready for the stereotypers by midnight, it will be seen that we are compelled to im-. press into our service a large force of adver- tising clerks, telegraph operators, district messenger boys, coupés and office messen- gers. The completeness of the Hzraup each day is proof of the completeness of the ser- vice, and the comparison we have insti- VU wn net! Jewenal and the iv Times shows the Hzraup as far in advance of its great rival in business patronage as it is in news facilities, Four Per Cent Interest on the Na- e ; tional Debt. With all our esteem for Secretary Bristow we fear that he pays too much deference to the judgment of the crafty bankers who are scheming to fmd a» big bonanza inthe can-| version of the public debt. They have con- vinced him that he cannot sell four and a half per cent bonds unless Congress extends the period of redeemability from fifteen years to thirty years, in the face of the the Oxford and Cambridge contest. Twen- ty-five yenrs ago a few university men were the sole spectators of the race on the Thames, and the contrast between the then aspect of the banks of the river and that they presented yesterday was as great as the difference between the clumsy man-o’-war's boat of the early races and the beautiful ‘‘shells” of Clasper and Searle. scanty paragraph recorded the re- sat in the London papers, but how different now. “Pho sews of-yentcrdny's-TACe is told as fully inthe Herat as in the Lon- don Times. It was flashed to India and to Australia, and in a few years we have no doubt that the result will be looked for at Pekin and Jeddo as it is to-day in White- chapel. Vive le sport!

But there is no possibility of a glut, because the amount of the debt would not be increased by. refunding. The demand for this class of securities is certain to increase, and as there can be no addition to the supply there is a constant tendency to an enhancement of price, which is the same thing in effect as a willingness to take new bonds at a lower rate of interest. The United States bonds have become a ne- cessity for banks, savings institutions, trust companies and private individuals who need 8 form of property which is at the same time safe, productive and disposable. When the five-twenty bonds are called in and paid there is nothing better which holders could do with their money than to reinvest it in other government securities. The whole of our bonded debt is already placed; it is so valuable that it commands high premiums, proportioned to the rate of interest and tho length of time the bonds have to run. There is at present little temptation to invest in business enterprises, and if the six per cents were withdrawn it would puzzle the holders to find a better investment than long date four per cent bonds. hero is a lack of courage in the Treasury Department when it despairs of selling four and a half per cent bonds unless the period of redeemability is extended to thirty years. The syndicate which seeks a new bonanza takes a different view, and Secretary Bristow does not seem to make suflicient allowance for its interested motives. Because its mem- bers are able financiers, fertile in reasons, knows nothing on the subject except what Mr. Haralson and others who had listened to Mr. Haralson told him, and if the Presi- dent did not say what this gentleman said he did that is not the fault of the reporter. For our part we are convinced that Mr. Haralson told the truth, and that his subsequent soft- ening of his first statements is the result of pressure brought to bear on him by inter- ested parties.
