Tosmorrow it will be slightly warmer and fair, | Americon exhibitors } hand than themselves, much as they boast NEW YORK Bright Promises for the Future of the United States. The American people will, on some ac- counts, owe a debt of gratitwde to the latest Paris Exposition. It has, to be sure, drawn a large number of our citizens across the Atlantic, and to that extent has helped to take money out of the country and_ will leave many of our fashionable summer hotel proprietors with empty pockets at the close of the expiring season. But, then, it has supplied material: for conversation to American ‘‘society” for the next two years and laid up a store of adventurous remin- iscences for those fortunate enough to have “done” Paris during the show. Some trifling envies and jealousies may be excited by this pleasant gossip in the breasts of the less favored, to whom the gay French capital has been a sealed book during its memor- able holiday months; but envies and jealousies always exist in ‘‘society,” while live topics of conversation are somewhat rare. It will be delightful to recall the ex- citemenits and enjoyments of the industrial carnival when the heat, dust, crowding and fatigue of the Exhibition are things of the past, and to dwell in memory upon the en- chantments and attractions of that charming Paris when the drawback of extortionate charges for indifferent accommodations 1s forgotten. Aside from all this, we ought to ‘be grateful to the great Exposition, inasmuch as it has afforded us an oppor- tunity once more to teach all Europe to look with admiration on the productions. of American genius and skill and on the wonderful progress made by a nation yet, as compared with its venerable transat- lantic cousins, in its swaddling clothes. Thoughtful men will no doubt begin to comprehend what must be the future of a people who, with only a cenjury’s history, have shown their ability to compete with all Europe in art, in inventive genius and in manufacturing skill. While the Supreme Jury and the Council of Presidents of the Exposition have been insisting that the list of awards must not be published prior to the distribution cere- mony, and while the Ministry of Commerce has been promising to consider and decide the point as soon as the accurate list has been filed, the Henaxp has cut the red tape which binds the grave official secret and furnished its readers with the names of a very large number of the to whom honors have been adjudged, ‘This list when complete will no doubt be greatly ex- tended ; yet enough is given to prove that our citizens have been remarkably success- ful, and that in the face of many disadvan- tages—the long distance they have had to transport their goods and the thousand and one drawbacks to which they have been subjected—they have been able to carry off the palm in a competition with all Europe. We might, indeed, have expected that the United States would be unexcelled in firearms, agricultural implements, india- rubber goods, farm produce, canned meats and some specialties in which the “Yankees” have long enjoyed a world wide reputation. But when we find Americans carrying off prizes for watches, silks, prints, calicoes, carpets and woollen goods in a contest with the whole of Europe we may well feel that we have made a long stride toward practical independence within the past quarter of a century, notwithstanding the large bite taken out of our national progress by four or five years of civil war. We may rest satisfied that the days of our crude efforts as an infant nation have passed, and that we may now claim equality as mann- facturers with the most experienced handi- craftsmen of the Old World. We may look back a very few years to find the time when a manufactured article or un invention from the United States was re- garded in Europe as something of a curi- osity, and examined and criticised much as we used, years ago, to examine and criti- cise the bead work and other cunning and ingenious productions of expert bands of Indians at our watering places. There was then a patronizing disposition to approve these efforts of a young and struggling peo- ple and a readiness to pat us on the back and cry ‘Very well done,” such as the friends of a family display who are favored with a peep into Arthur's third copy- | book or little Maud's portfolio of drawings, of course without any idea that inafew years Arthur may write a better of their chirography, or that the little Maud will some day put their own family of dis- tinguished artists to the blush. Some of | us are not too young to remember when the prediction that within the present century American watches would equal those made in London, Paris, Geneva, &c.; that Ameri- can silks would vie with those of Lyons; that in the United States would be manu- factured as good woollen, cotton and linen goods as anywhere in the world, and that in an open and fair compe- | tition with all Europe America would carry off the honors for superiority, would have earned for its anthor the reputation of a visionary. Yet to-day the prediction is verified, as the list of our successiul exhib- itors at Paris satisfactorily proves, and millions of Europeans have learned by ocular demonstration that in the wide runge of articles sent from the United States the ingenuity, skill and genius of the American people cannot be surpassed, or, indeed, in some instances, equalled in Europe. In the marked success of our industries in this popular Buropesn exposition may be read the true promise of returning pros- perity. It is the explanation of the in- creasing exports and decreasing imports which have turned the balance of trade in our favor, and inade us the creditor instead of the debtor of Europe, thus insuring the triumph of such sound financial principles as alone can enable us to deal with for- eign nations, and scattering to the winds the exploded inflation heresies which, under the influences of our protracted business depression, threatened to be- come dangerous. We now know, and all Europe knows, that are destined to be one day the greatest manufacturing country on the globe, and that if we chose to do so we could live without any material importations from European nations, which would nevertheless be compelled to come to we HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1878.-QUADRUPLE SHEET. us for lop tne at necessaries of life; for it is not { time they have the wisdom to see that the alone the fact that we find ourselves able to | way to redress them is not through lawless- compete with the experienced and caretully trained artisans of the Old World at the present time that is brought home to us, but the certainty that in the future our natural advantages must push us ahead of all competitors in the struggle for supremacy. We have resources in our mineral wealth, in our facilities of transpor- tation, in the juxtaposition of our exhanst- less coal and iron, in the vast area of coun- try capable of supplying food for increasing millions, which no other nation on the earth possesses in an equal degree, Our free institutions advance the American me- chanicin intelligence and self-respect, and in the end must make him the superior of the mechanics of Europe. The argument that in the old country wages are so much lower than in America that the latter can never sell manufactured goods as cheaply as they can be sold in Europe is fallacious; for when business revives and manufactures grow to an enormous extent in the United States, as they will, the skilled workmen of foreign countries will swell the tide of immigration, and when mechanics ave scarce in Europe wages must of neces- sity rise. This is a hopeful picture, it is true, but it is one which we believe foithtully represents the future in store for the United States as a manufac- turing xs well as an agricultural nation. From June, 1872, to June, 1873, our im- ports exceeded our exports by one hundred and twenty million dollars. Five years thereatter—from Juno, 1877, todune, 1876 — our exports exceeded our imports by two hundred and fifty-eight million dollars. With such a practical lesson before our eyes, and with the marked success of our exhibitors in a contest with all Europe to back it; we think the American people have aright to. look to the future with encour- agement and bright anticipations, The Disgraceful Streets, The spurt made by the Street Cleaning Bureau seems to have been of brief dura- tion. The observations of our reporters show that the streets are returning to their former filthy condition, the Nineteenth ward being now dirtier than when first examined by them. We trust this is only a temporary lapse. If it continues we shall make the details and the causes known to our readers as minutely as possible. The slight improvement noticed by the Henaxp a few days ago, like the feeble light of Milton, which ‘served only to make darkness visible,” rendered the disreputable condition of the pavements only more con- spicuous. Thata city of nearly a million inhabitants ; a city which spends hundreds of thousands of dollars annually upon its theatres and operas and balls ; a city which gives ten thousand dollars a day in charity to the yellow fever charity fund; a city which claims to be advanced in civilization and in polite knowledge, should permit the gaze of foreigners first landing in this coun- try to fall upon such a spectacle as the ruts and cobbles and mud-pits of West street and the waterside thoroughfares is almost incredible. Paris is absolutely well paved and thoroughly clean. London, though it is largely laid with wood, is everywhere smoothly and solidly paved. Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Havre, Dieppe, Marseilles, or any European town of a second or third rank, presents a marked contrast to the filthy and ill-laid pavements of New York. It is odd that a city which is the equal of London or Paris in respect of public spirit and business enterprise, and the superior of both in conceit, should in so important a matter be content to rank with the villages of Turkey or Bulgaria, Exelse Exercised. Judge Dittenhoefer's discovery of the weak point in the Excise law has already resulted in the reindictment of that gentle- man’s client, and also in a great amount of delight on the part of the tive hundred other liquor sellers who have been trem- bling in anticipation of punishment under a law to which they had looked for protec- tion. There will undoubtedly be an early attempt made to frame a law without holes big enough for the whole body of city liquor sellers to jump through when they feel so disposed; but it is to be hoped that such a law will be explicit enough to show the dealers where they really stand, instead of compelling them first to pay for the privilege of selling and then denying them the right they have paid for. Our reporis of interviews with well known dispensers of alcoholic stimulants show that there is no trade feeling against a comprehensive Excise law. It would be well, therefore, for the temperance people to tuke counsel with the dealers before a new law is voted upon, and secure an enactment which may at least avoid being a laughing stock for | everybody and a letter-down of the public respect for laws in general. The Workingmen of the Metropolis, The workingmen of this city have, during the past week, given a signal illustration of their good sense and of their peaceable and law abiding character. It has become the fashion with the smaller cities of the coun- try to point to New York as full of the most dangerous and inflammable material, but the record does not by any means justify the imputation. A year ago, while many of our sister communities in Pennsylvania, Maryland and other States were the scenes of disorder and bloodshed, the working- men of the metropolis won an enviable reputation as law abiding citizens, Their behavior during,the city railrond strikes that have just closed has given them an additional claim upon the admiration of their fellow citizens. Tens and tens of thousands of persons were put to the most serious inconvenience, travel was interrupted and dangerous appeals made, by unprincipled demagogues, but there was no disturbance worth the name, The workingmen attended to their own business and did not evince even the faint- est sign of an intention to place themselves beyond the pale of the law. Then Kearney came with his coarse vituperation and in- cendiarism, but they simply laughed at him, The workingmen of this city have as many and bitter grievances as those of other parts of the country, but at the same ness and violence. 1s Be Deemed ' Disreputablet It has long been a topic of remark and regret that our best citizens stand aloof from the politics of the city, as if they could not come in contact with them with- out a sense of defilement. This feeling seems to grow rather than to abate, and our first citizens are becoming disinclined, not only to soil their hands by participation in city politics, but even to accept the highest offices in the city government. If the May- oralty were regarded as the post of honor which it ought to be there is no citizen. who should not be pleased and proud to have so honorable a position tendered him, and who would not be willing to make considerable personal sacrifices to accept from his fellow citizens such a mark of distinction. But our mu- nicipal affairs have fallen into such disre- pute that'an election to the highest city office is not regarded as an honor worth ac- cepting at even a slight cost of private ease or interference with private business. This is perhaps a natural consequence of the degradation into which municipal politics have fallen since their surrender into the hends of selfish and ignoble cliques, Itis a striking circumstance that even the managers of these cliques make an un- conscions admission that they have made city politics too foul to be touched without reproach by religious men. The very schemers Who are running our city affairs denounce it as an insult toa man of piety to suggest that he takes an interest in the filling of city offices. What a confession of the degradation of our city politics by those ‘who are responsible for their manage- ment! In a sound condition of political morals it would be no reproach to the best and putest people in the community ‘to manifest an interest in public affairs. The worst symptoin of the times is the separation of people of standing and social distinction from our common public life, and their feeling that it is like pitch which respect- able and especially religious people cannot touch without being defiled. We trust the time is not distant when such people will think it their duty to take an active interest in municipal affairs and try to redeem them from degradation. Of course the trading schemers will object, since they wish to re- tain their ignoble monopoly. We are sorry that Mr. Bonner declines to be the standard bearer in this needed re- form. To be sure, several other citizens are talked of, any one of whom, if elected without too much indebted- ness to a trading clique, would make an excellent and efficient Mayor. Mr. William R. Grace has integrity, ability, stavity and public spirit, and if elected Mayor without dependence on any other influence than the people at large would make a useful, and, perhaps, an admirable public servant. Mr. John Kelly himself, if he would consent to be a candidate, would be triumphantly elected; and would bring to the office greater force and sagacity and a riper knowledge of municipal oftairs than any other citizen who could be chosen. Our citizens would much prefer him to any of his bosom friends, because it would be con- ducive to good government to have power and: responsibility lodged “in the same hands. Mr. Samuel D. Babcock, so well known of late years and so much respected as president of the Chamber of Commerce, could be depended on, as we believe, to ad- minister the city government according to his own judgment, and he would act ona very high standard of public duty. And then there are John T. Agnew, Shepherd Knapp and Samuel Conover, all of whom possess the respect and confidence of the mercantile community and have a large circle of personal admirers. We have abun- dance of capable citizens, if they will con- sent to serve, who would, fill the office ac- ceptably if they could enter it free from degrading party trammels. An Owner Found for Our Harbor Chaan At last somebody has been found who will take legal steps to prevent the dump- ing of refuse from this city into the chan- nels leading from the harbor to the ocean. The channels are within national limits, and consequently under government protec- tion. The law officers of the Treasury De- partment hold that deposits of yarbage, street sweepings, &c., are of the nature of obstructions to navigation, so the Commissioners of Pilots or the United States District Attorney will at once apply to the proper court for an injunction restraining contractors from dumping their scows in the channels or any other waters within the lines of national jurisdiction. A special law on the subject is also foreshadowed. ‘his action has been taken none too soon ; for, between channels not over deep, an immense amount of gar- bage to be romoved and the willingness of contractors to save time and steam, the con- tinued sufficiency of our methods of ap- proach from the sea has been seriously en- dangered. Bet Pulpit Toptes ‘To-Day. The pastors are rapidly returning and getting themselves into harness. The old people in the churches, who are rarely re- membered, will have special attention paid to them to-day by Mr. Davis, who will direct their minds toward the sunset of life; the folly of infidelity will be con- trasted with the wisdom of Christianity by Mr. Searles; women and wine will be dis- cussed by Mr, Affleck; the supremacy of Christ will be insisted on by Mr. Burch, and God's revelation of Himself in the beantiful will be presented by Dr. Abbott. The reasons why some persons stay away from and go out of the Church will be pointed out by Mr W. N. Searles. How to use trouble and sorrow so as to get good out of them is a question that engrosses many a mind as well as Dr. Woodruff's. He will show how this can be accomplished. The difficulties of the Bible will be explained by Mr. Corbit and the Christian test will be put by Mr. Rowell to the Christian Sabbath, God’s unspeakable gift will be offered Ireely by Mr. Hull, and Solomon's sermon will be repeated by Dr. Deems. . Mi Lloya will demonstrate that hope is-an-imstinet of the soul ; the use of bad means to-accomplish good ends will be discouraged by Mr. MacAr- thur ; Christ's temptation will be reviewed by Mr. Moment; the death of Joseph be considered by Mr. Jutten, while Dr. King will present a great work of art to his peo- ple. The temperance folk on Tuesday evening will consider Kearney phrenologi- cally. He is a good subject for dissection. The Perils of Correspondents, The readers of the Hrrap have frequent occasion to admire the promptness and thoroughness of the correspondents who supply some portions of the news, but they little imagine the perils which are endured by these men. When the yellow fever broke out in New Orleans the Herazp's regular correspondent at that city was on his way North, but hearing of the calamity that had befallen his district he made haste to secure a substitute by telegraph, and then hurried back to his post. The substitute took the fever and died, and a second substitute, while fortunately escaping the malady himself, has his entire family suffering trom it. At Vicksburg the Hzraxp’s corre- spondent disappeared during the early days of the fever, and is believed to be among the dead. The gentleman who volunteered to take his place was also prostrated by the fever, but in spite of his illness saw to it that a substitute was secured to inform our readers of the progress of the scourge. When the fever smote Grenada our special correspondent at St. Louis volunteered to go to that point; the mental and physical strain occasioned by the obtaining of news, and travel to points from which to send the same, compelled him to return to St. Louis severely ill; but before leaving Grenada he arranged with a local physician to keep the Henarp's reiders informed about the ill- fated city. ‘Yesterday’. this’ physician pluckily telegraphed us that there were five new cases, among whom was him- self; but he, too, secured a substitute before taking to his bed: Our Memphis corre- spondent was struck down by the fever yesterday. The courage and fidelity of the Heratp's correspondents are equalled only by that of the telegraph operators. “Bill” Redding, as he was familiarly called, the telegraph operator at Grenada, and also a correspondent of the Heratp, died at his post, as several others have done. The hard- ships and dangers which all these brave fellows have endured in fulfilling their duty can never be imagined by those who have read the despatches, so closely re- stricted to matters of general interest and sosilent upon the experiences of the senders, Assured as we are of the services of such men our readers may depend upon learn- ing accurately every day of the condition of the Southern cities, no matter what may be the perils to which the correspondents themselves are subjected.
