enough money to keep a boys year in a gooa school. That the people are awgke to this plain fact is evident from the very great hold the use of kerosene has lately taken. Doubt- less this movement has greatly affected the income of the gas companies, though there are many people who believe from the char- acter of their bills that the companies assess on the customers who remain all that they lose by those who take the kerosene. A Step Toward the Democracy. Mr. Curtis reminds his readers, in the course of an able article on current politics, that he knows ‘“‘stanch republigan delegates to the Cincinnati Convention who did not hesitate last summer to call themselves Tilden re- publicans.” Unless the Republican Conven- tion breaks away from ‘‘the machine”—or, in other words, unless Mr. Blaine is nomi- nated, the “Tilden republicans” will leave the party and vote the democratic ticket. Taking this declaration in connection with the kindness shown by the World to Mr. Curtis it only confirms our theory that the effect of the movement against Conkling must be to land Mr. Curtis in the fold of the democracy. It was in anticipation of this transformation that we recommended him as acandidate for Lieutenant Governor on the same ticket with Mr. Dorsheimer. Mr. Dorsheimer left the republican party four or five years ago, and the democrats made him Lieutenant Governor. Now, as he will as- pire to Tilden’s place, why would it not be a good nomination to place Mr. Curtis on | the ticket with hin? As a ‘Tilden repub- lican” Mr. Curtis should have ‘recogn tion.” He would make a charming Presi dent of the Senate. Like Dorsheimer he is an attractive man and a favorite with the ladies, Dorsheimer and Curtis would make the handsomest brace of candidates that ever sought the suffrages of a free people. , The Right and the Wrong of Samoa. ‘This Steinberger business is a merry affair, and no one will mourn over the captured and deposed ruler. But here comes a ques- tion which no one seems to have considered. Steinberger is an American citizen and en- titled to all the rights of citizenship—the right, if he pleases, of making a fool of him- self in any island of the world. Ifhe did anything wrong he was responsible to his own government and to no other. The British government had no more business with him or his enterprises than we would have with the enterprises of any crazy Eng- lishman in Hayti or Japan. If our folks at Washington are mindful of what is due to American citizenship they will inquire with- out delay as to what right a British officer iCABLE had to arrest an American citizen, confiscate | his property and imprison him. That is a liberty we dv not allow any foreigner to take with an American citizen, no matter what a fool he may be, Steinberger in Samoa is as much entitled to our protection as Mr. Washburne in Paris or Mr. Davis in Berlin. If we permit a British officer to sit in judg- ment upon an American for acts performed | on soil where there is no british jurisdiction we deprive ourselves of the highest privilege j of citizenship. It will not do for Mr. Fish to laugh at Steinberger as a poor devil for whom no one cares and with whose move- ments. no one has any sympathy. He has his rights, which we are bound to guarantee tohim. Do not let our contempt for an adventurer or our amusement at the sudden and disastrous collapse of a savage “dynasty” interfere with our sense of what is due to every citizen of this nation, whether at home or abroad, whether a wise mam: or a fool. Azz We As Bap As We Sexm?—It may be safely assumed, and now is the fitting time to say it—now, when the air is heavy and thundering with all manner of ex ploding reputations—that with all of our self-depreciation and these countless “revelations,” we are not, as a people, as bad as we seem. We pay our debts and do not condone crime, no matter in what shape it may come. What is more—we mean, if we san, without regard to party, to elect a Presi- dent in this centennial year who will not | be unmindful of what is due to the country. We have a deep vein of generosity in our national character, and do not indorse the “cutthroat” schemes of politicians who think they cannot rise except upon the abasement and degradation of their rivals, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Bass is flat again.

THRONGS OF VISITORS YESTERDAY TO NEW YORK'S PLEASURE GROUND—THE DRIVES AND WALKS ALIVE WITH PEOPLE— HOLIDAY SCENES AND INCIDENTS. Wintor, who so long delayed his visit, and revolled ig and gloated over the tortures inflicted by his untimely advent upon the denizens of thia vast city, has at last taken his leave. Artiste usually give to his furrowed brow and wrinkled cheeks, his hoary locks and search- ipg eye the line and tone of comely pleasantry. And when he comes, a8 1 good sooth he should, calm and majestic, on a bright November day, shaking from his exhaustless treasure store a million tiny brilliants on every leaf and binde of grass, opportunely casting his royal ermine mantic over hill and dale, breathing with might on sluggish brook and pond and lake, throwing over them a crystal mirror, making his exit royally and in duo time, then is he Tight welcome. But this year the pervorso instincts of bis childhood evidently got the M@tter of his riper Judgment, and he disported himself moat unbecomingly | for one of his kingly lineage and bigh repute Even | gallantry could not induce him to treat incoming ' Spring, fairest of her sex, with due deference, so he leaves us this year unsung and unregretted. Spring herself betokens by her somewhat chilled and | downcast look how much she bas taken to heart this treatment by ber aged kinaman. But still she is among us, and gave to the vast crowds who yesterday flocked to pay her their homage in tho Central Park @ greeting, It almost looks as though she in- tended this yoar to compensate herself for the rude way in which Summer cut short her last visit, She has but slightly touched the | grass with early tonder green. The crocus, the tulip, | the pansy are at her bidding unfolding their nascent charms coyly apd leisurely; the expectant bud still awaits her nod to burst forth in gladdening verdare, This year sho will make her visita long one. But still the promise of her fuller charms was clearly whispered forth yesterday, as the early morning sun throw his | rays athwart the noble acreage of | NEW YORK'S PLEASURE GROUND, | The frugal but impudent sparrow, thoroughly alive to his impunity as a foreign guest, wos carly abroad, | The swana, the ducks and various water fowl could be seen pushing their way through the ornamental | waters in quest of their morning meal, Here and there an early riser might be seen enjoying | tho quickening light and crisp breeze in the avenuos, | As the sun mounted higher in the sky the avenue cars began to deposit a goodly number of recreation seekers atthe Park gates, The number of male devo- tees who worshippedat the skrine of nature was very j considerable; but !t was not until the church services were over that it became evident how great a tide of respectable humanity or human respectability New York can pour forth to take a holiday. And in these times of commercial paralysis it is proper to remark upon one noticeable feature of these gatherings of the city population. Complaints are made on every hand) of the want of employment and the dearth of money, and yet in Central Park yesterday thero was not, as iur as the ladies’ toilettes ‘@ concerned, the slightest sign of any pinch of the financial shoe, Have our fair dames and maidens at ; lust discovered tho secret of cheap and effective drass- ing? If mot thero must be a good deal of heartache among those who supply the funds In any caso the Anger of Spring was measurably visible in the dress of | the bevies 0! fair ones who sought the glades of the | Park yesterday. And whata composite crowd! Itis | an epitome of every place and grade of New York life. | The substantial bargess, with buxom wife and sprightly | children; the solitary man of leisure of every grade, j from the elegant dawdler of the clubs down to | him whom astern, Tealistic age has basely “bum; the trim milliner and the the well nurtured cbildren palo-faced little proletarian, | all aro here. too, behind teams of varied Speed and blood, sit many representatives of many | classes. Wealth sits solitary behind a fast trotter, oF, | in company, behind a “spanking” pair. Modest com- | petency contents itself with a sure-fosted cob or back, | Pretentious poverty urges forward a shambling quad- | raped, by courtesy a horse. Whatan instructive study oilace and mien, of gesture, tone and look can bo ; Made heret But there ts no time to tarry or to moral- tze amid this swiltly moving, ever-changing crowd, whose presence or absence in the Park records the seacons as they come and go. So itis time to wend our way to the Various spots whither the crowd re- pairs and watch them as they unbend from the labor of the week, THE MENAGERIE, Why choose this tirst? For the simple reason that tho cliildren, old and young, big and little, do the same, and we are with the crowd, ‘The change of scason | makes bot little difference to the four-footed inhab- itants of the southern latitudes of the tropics caged in the menagerie, except, porhaps, in the irritation at first caused them by the moving renks of peering eves that | file past their cnges.
