But daring th part tour month there ha been almoat a total lack of thi kind of partisan capital-making. It ha not been for want of material Th new President ha giTen occasion more than one for sharpening' pen and wit. But he ha been let off easily, ren in ruca a matter as the appointment a Ambassador to England. Sam of Mr. Wilson's Ambassadorial choices were nut to the Republican humorists; and Mr.

Brrax'a list of unknowna as Ministers was the subject of unceasing merriment. But Colonel Hajtvey ha offered more from Republican critic than from Democratic What an un-ed chance hi blundering; maiden speech in England gY6 to Democratic satirists! They might hare parodied Errs-XT! Song of Marion' Men" and rung th change on the way in which today "the British soldier tremble" when he hear the Ambassador chosen at Marion. Another tempting opportunity not availed of ha been provided by the suddenly made Brigadier General appointed physician in ordinary at the White House. all know the endless joke mad about Admiral Gjlatson. Laughter held both her aide at the idea of a naval officer being the President's doctor.

But General Sswixa function amid general rarity. Certain medical men. to be sure, hare been poking fun at the in geniou httl advertisement for hi pri vate sanitarium which he has been get ting out of hi White House connection, but as a rule hi wither have been left aawrung by satirically minded Demo crat.

So they laid oa their Lttle whip with the skill of long practice. Furthermore, Republican satirist have been, a it were, fully organized, ready to say th eame thing on signal, all over the country. Te satirise everything and everybody Democratic ha been a recognised part of their political campaign.

Their opponents may not hare been more acrupulou, but certainly hare been lea well equipped. It is probable, also, that for th time being the instinct of fair play is preventing th flight of satirical arrows. The new Administration ought to have a chance. But it immunity will not long endure. When it doe foolish things, or any ef it member aaya lodicrou things, plenty of party writer will begin to shoot at folly a it flic.

To tell th truth while provoking a laugh cannot be forbidden even in thi era of a benediction of understanding. AUTOS AND ORATORY. France ha discovered a new orator. IT ia M. Pirrre Fcnaxrr, Deputy from the Mama.

Hi recent tjtcba in the Chamber have mad a deep impression, The observant, always-on the watch for tew talezt, bail him a th rising man who will go far. And the critics bar been analyrinx and comparing hi alo-cjsence. They declare him not so stormy r.d tishly colored as JAtra, not so glowing a Vptum, not as insinuating: and seductive as Rgiim, but with a style all hi own, At time he is impetuous, at times precis; flhe come in his oratory when least expected; he is now cordiiatory, now challenging, with an enthusiasm and- pasting serenely disci; plied, How did he come by hi gift for apfaking?

Those wonderful dashes of hii under the tree and along the road of Seine-et-Marne they are the source of his most vivid perception and kiadling imagination. This, then, exclaim M. HotlT Vidal, i th secret of thi famous elo-qcencc! But he thinks there arother th truly French secret ai.d that is "lucidity." This, however, ocJy throws on back on M.

The demonstration seem ccmplete. can only hope, for the sake of American oratory, that Central Dawes, ia hi reforming seal, will not to hastily cut off a supply of official automobiles in Washington.

DEMPSEY STILL CHAMPION. Th match for the boxing championship of the world in the Jersey City arena, that had shot up from the back lots lik the prophet' gourd, was lively end spirited while it lasted, and the superiority of Mr. Jack JrfrsrY in the manly art of of fen was conclusively shown. The challenger, Gixauzs Cxa-remzx, as gallant a fellow as ever drew en a glove, was unable to defend his torso, and therein lay th cause of his downfall. When the champion had weakened him by methodical body blows the "quietus was administered in th usual way, with a blow to the jaw.

Only in the second round did th first citizen of Lens so he was until the end came show a flash of th form was supposed to have by his admirers. All his opponents in past encounters had been abl to get by or through his guard and the pundit in the science of pugilism had generally selected the gentleman from Utah as the -victor, because he had been an adept in hitting almost anybody and with much weight and steam behind his blows. The French invader visibly weakened in the third round, and was going fast early in the fourth. But hi vital energies did not collapse until he had made a truly Gallic exhibition of courage. He had been knocked down and all seemed to be over; but at the count of nine he prang to hi feet to make a fin show of facing th enemy to the last flicker of consciousness.

Somewhat like the Old Guard at Waterloo, he might be killed, if need be, but he would not surrender. And then and there Mr. DEursrr finished him, as the other knew he would there was no escape from defeat, but there can be defeat without dishonor. So the Stars and Stripe were exalted and the Tricolor was lowered, but not trailed in the dust. Mr.

Dcairsxrr will be hailed a the superman, but th vanquished on proved himself every inch a man he will receive many condolences and th compensation ef 1200,000, lea a large slice taken out of it by Uncle Sam. Mr. Dzxrsrr's honorarium will be $300, 000, at the rate of about 500 a second, leas th share of a needy Government. The agony is over, and the world may now regain it equipoise. A FINANCIAL SERMON.

At th budget reform meeting Preai dent Uaedcs'G reached a sermon on public finance of broader application than the eloquence of Budget Director Dawes. There ia not a menace in th world today like that of growing publie indebtedness 'and mounting publie ex-" peuditure. HI There has seemingly "grown np an impression that public treasuries are inexhaustible, and a con-" fiction that no efficiency and no econ- "omy are ever thought of in public ex- penses." That strike at the root of th heresies which have given the world a delusion of wealth and prosperity, while all th time it has been squandering capital as though that could go on forever. Labor is not able to see why the Government cannot keep wages up permanently, mark them up from tax money. Social reformers pile duties on the Government which are not governmental, and marvel that taxpayers are not so grateful as th beneficiaries ot what they do not pay for.

Many such measure are pressed by those who ought to know better than the multitude who think that the Government ha fund of it own. and doe not merely spend the money of one man for th benefit of another man. No Government govern in a manner above criticism, although regulation of conduct is simplicity itself compared with the many duties of social reform, benevolence and business heaped on Government already overtaxed in its appropriate functions. It lead too far afield to consider thi text throughout th world. Th figure re astronomical and baffling in their intricacies.

Merely in passing, it may be remarked that last week the British Government paid a subsidy of fifty million dollars, a bounty to miner who had reduced their output a their were raised, and who had caused their country untold loss. There is no hu manity, bat a parody on Government efficiency end economy, in procedure whkh canses the Government of Europe THE NEW YORK TIMES.

For the first five months of this year 1366,66701 of public bonds were the same months trade was declining, and indus trial capital issues were smaller than last year by $455,003,000. It ha, been a 1 Vaa Jong since railways nave enjoj rowing credit.

The rreat losses of rail- way credit came earlier. There are on the honxon billions ei roaa oonas ana a S.aaa a soldiers' bonus bond and publie im- provement bonds of all d.egree of merit. but all with the demerit of swelling taxes and starving trade. It ia contrary to the interest of rent payers that public buildings should be erected at a cost ia. twenty-five North eastern States of com- pared wicn ior an onimew, industrial and residential buildings.

It is contrary to the interest of all using credit that public credit should absorb funds at interest rates which business cannot pay, and should throw tax ex emotion into the unequal scale. How can farmers expect to borrow cheaply when there are twenty billions of Fed era! bonds tax exempt in varying degrees, and twenty billions of other bonds totally exempt from Federal taxation? Here is the explanation of the shrinking movement of shares in June and the swelling total of bonds. In the last three years the Stock Exchange business in bonds ha totaled over five billions for the first half of the years. In no other half year has the bond business totaled a billion, rarely a half billion. The current bond business is several times normal volume, and the over- counter business is an abnormal addi tion.

Her i the explanation why credit is dear, taxes high. Her is menace to this nation as well a to other nations. The President's words are fit and timely. POOR LITTLE RICH PLAYS. The inexorable, march of deflation having arrived at Broadway, Mr.

GnoRCB Aaxiss ha conceived a happy thought. Since actors' salaries and railway rates have made the road tour ajl but impoi sible, why not revert to the old idea of permanent local stock companies and the visiting star? Thus, and thus only, will the metropolitan drama be able to compete with the local movie. But Mr. AaCH SaXWTN casts a gloom upon the bright idea. Such a system was all well enough for former days, but it wont do now.

Then tne companies pre sented nothing but the the more fortunate present enjoys new plays, for the use of which authors have to be paid royalties and for the presenta tion of which individual scenery is necessary and actors cast to the type. Since the era of which Mr. Aaxiss dreams, the world has advanced, one infers. Full of wisdom and years are those who remember, the olden time, yet burdened with that crown of sorrows of which the poet sings. The days they remember were happier, far.

Nothing but the classics! What factory-made crook play of today, what melodrama of mechanical mystery, can evoke such applause, instil such a jelly of fear? Dont talk of the drama (o those who, in their youth, rose perilously in their seats in the nigger heajren to about Lay on.

Business men themselves were Shakespearean. Where our traveling salesmen use that uneasy metaphor about negotiating on a basis of bras tacks, the drummer of old pro posed that there should be no more talk about Hecuba and the corner grocer understood him. Between the Bible at home and nothing but the classics at the theatre, the well of English had some chance against defilement. It ia true that dramatic accessories were unpretentious.

Even Booth's ward robe, piously preserved at Th Players in glass cases, seems shoddy enough to the modern eye the sable suit of his su perlatively graceful Hamlet and th Cardinal's robe that gave glory and terror to hi launching of th curse of Roma Scene painting was an art of glorious improvisation, an entire set of drops being transmogrified weekly be tween Saturday night and Monday, until landscapes hung in ponderous wrinkle with the weight of paint and bellied out at the bottom Like the sail of an antique galley. Yet there was breadth in those scenes, and spirit. When Jules Gussor was chosen to illustrate "Antony and Cleopatra for the opening of the New Theatre, it was because of his' accom plishment as an architectural draftsman and his spacious transcripts from Egypt and the African desert. But the knowl edge that underlay his unforgettably splendid LnTjstitare was gained on the paint bridge of Hooley Theatre, Chi cago, la those days of nothing but th elastics.

In commemoration of the ninetieth an- nlT.rurv of th dedication of firmerCV p-rV John B. Pests ha compiled what I ve modestlr calls a story of that in- trtinir residential oasis in a irreat ijjnj centre of the city.

Antedating -n-tment of the celebrated MurraT jtmi -ov-ri-nt restriction by rnorethan ten years, Gramercy Park, with its atmosphere of rural and domestic com forts, stands as a memorial to Samuel B. RUGClxs. In layinz.out that delight ful home centre and in providing for its future preservation, Mr. RUGGLE3 showed 9 possessed an exceptionally broad vision' of the value of intelligent city planning. Not only did he precede by more than eighty years the belated es tablishment of New York's beneficial zoning and building heights law, but in foresightedness he far outstripped many other worthy home developers; to cite, for Instance, the residents of old Lafay ette Place.

Depau Place now swallowed np in Bleecker Street Bond Street and other localities made pleasant for a time to live in, but which presented no. defen sive force to prevent annihilation when the tidal wave of trade encroached upon their borders. Mr. Rugcles was a pioneer in arous ing interest in the benefit of park areas, and he was chiefly instrumental in I urging the City Fathers to lay out and beautify Union Square. The Gramercy residential centre was created more than a quarter of a century before so am bitious a scheme as Central Park aroused public interest.

Gramercy Park, says Mr. Pine, is the only park on Manhattan Island which has cost the city nothing, and, he adds, had its founder's example been followed by other large real estate owners, New York today would be a vastly more beautiful city. Opportunities for artistic city planning were' surely as plentiful as huckleberries in Summer in Mr. Ruggles's day, but he stands alone among the big landowners of his time who devoted any part of their holdings to the public welfare. It was almost a generation later before New Yorkers were intelligently educated, largely through the wise teachings of Andrew H.

Gbeex to the responsibility devolving upon a municipality to provide proper park space for its residents. The opening of Gramercy Park was almost coeval with the establishment of Washington Square, formerly a potter's field, as a city park, and in many re spects both of those places have much in common. Time ha dealt harshly with many of the old trees of those originally planted in Gramercy Park only an elm and a willow survive but the old houses, despite the fact that some have given way to tall apartment structures, bear witness to the simple and comfortable hospitality among the well-to-do citizens seventy-five years ago. Like Washing ton Square, Gramercy Park ha been celebrated for the high prominence in the community of its residents, including many families who have left their im press upon tne political, social and artistic Life of the metropolis. Among others, Gramercy Park is justly proud of Edwin Booth, whose home, through his generosity, remains a The Players dub; Samuel J.

Tdlden, James W. Geraso, father of the former Ambassa dor to Germany; Cvsus W. Field, Mayor James Hastes; John Bjgelow, Charles Augustus Davis, author of the "Jack- Downing Letters, and Peter Coopek jd Mayor Assam S. Hewitt, who lived on Lexington Avenue just north of the park. Gramercy it is interesting to note, was formerly part of the country estate of the patriot James Duae, who was the first Mayor of New York fol lowing the British evacuation, an honor which he held for six years.

When Irving' Place and Lexington Avenue were cut through the property, Mr. Ruggles suggested th names which they have borne ever sine. He wisely retained the name of Gramercy, a corruption of th Dutch "Krom signifying the little crooked knife brook which wended, it way from Madison Square to the East River near Eighteenth Street. It ha remained for a later generation to pay a suitable tribute to the memory of the man who created such a pleasant spot for comfortable living. On the westerly fountain in the park is a bronze medallion portrait, the work of Edmond T.

QvrsK, the sculptor of the Booth statue erected a few years ago, and a stone in front of the west gate' is inscribed with the name of the founder and the date, 1831. Both of these memorials were the gift of John Ruggles Steonc, grandson of the founder. Efiorts have been made from time to time to break the restriction guarding th residential privacy of the park, but the courts here upheld the original covenant, although I apartment house have been allowed to enter a being, in th opinion of th court, within the strict definition of a private dwelling.

Somebody in lackwood JUagaBHC has the courage and to say a good 'word'Jpr the goat. It was time.

The poor fellow has been ill treated. While he maybe saxq to hav; been the inventor of the use of him as i "1 --At a scapegoat ana nis meaievaa laenuuca-tion with the devil have'g'iven him a'bad I name. As the devil usually has the in at a. I teliigence ol an idiot in meqieya stones, I the caprine intellect has Jen derided. The scriptural separation of the sheep 1 and the goats has aone a moral injustice 1 a.

a 1 1 to 'the latte'rl Vhen'we find the he-goat as the flock leader in Jeremiah and Isaiah, his estimation suffers. He is the "symbol of the 'Money Tower. Who thinks of the frisky cytisus-browsing aaa a. a 'mm Tt mt xneocntean ana virguian hocks in our day the goat is doubly damned as I the former pictorial associate of bock beer; and he has passed into slang and feeble comic humorous phrase. This is the most unkindest cut, fpr the goat is a genuine and chronic humorist.

The Blackwood's writer has found the goat not only very affectionate toward those whom it knows, but dis- posed toward both the human and the other animals and infinitely more intelligent than sheep, so that I cannot help fancying; that. whei. the sheep ranlc aa the oot sad tha costs as tha bad folk In the Bible, the Interpre-: alion is that the latter animal is commonly more knave than fool, and the former more fool than knave. The Blackwoodsman was pleased to call a white nanny Victoria. The mid-Victorian compartment, so to speak, was I hospitable to everything, according to the tradition of the race.

Victoria, in ad dition to her usual grass and vegetable stuff, sampled my straw hat, the con tents of my tobacco pouch, the tails of my shooting coat, the fringe of the housekeeper's skirt, and so forth." She never gained any flesh. For yew, dead ly to most animals, she had a positive passion. She was truly Victorian in her animosity to roses and raptures Tethered in the middle of most luxuri ous grass, she managed to break her rope and at once proceeded to wreck four beds of choice young rosebushes.1 The goat has a salient personality, char acter, will, fantasy. It is no docile, wishy-washy, silly sumph, like the sheep These are its chief characteristics, ac cording to the observation of this Shaftesbury of the goats: An Intense dealr to be at all times and on all occasions somewhere else, A rooted determination to eat every form and ktnd of forbidden fruit. A eneral Inclination to do those things that ought not to be done, and to leave undone those things that ouht to be done.

How, then, can anything be more human than the goat? Yet what could be more doglike, for the goat wags what little tail nature has bestowed in wel come and affection, like a dog, and the family puppies and dogs were Victoria's playmates. A goat knows a friendly footstep and bleats when it is heard. vA goat, at least a Victorian goat, is friendly, companionable, sportive. Probably it Js misunderstood because it is such an independent, self-supporting chap. No other domestic' animal can compare in that respect.

Many of us recall the touching lines lie mad him a coat of tha skin of a scat. Poor old Koblnaon Crusoe I If Crusoe needs the goat, the goat doesn't need Crusoe. The goat is a satisfactory Robinson Crusoe on a desert island or anywhere else. It pay be that modern goats hay degenerated a from their ancestors. There is a legend in the Talmud that Job's goats slaughtered the wolves that fell Upon them.

The "Maga" write- thinks that the scapegoat must have rather enjoyed its Life in the wilderness. It would love to hunt for food or companions; and if at last it fell a prey to some wild beast, it put up a good fight. LAND THE LOBSTICK. The Land of the Lobstick, the subject of a pamphlet by Chaszes A. Bkajjbix, who has been there, is in Northern Manitoba, above the Saskatchewan.

The lobstick is not game, nor a pioneer implement, but a tree which i has been "despoiled of its limbs excepting a few "near the top, ''and which serves as a mark, a monument or a tribute, as the case may It is of Indian origin, and its value in a pathless! wilderness need not be To the "musher" it means direction as well a location. The Land of the Lobstick, which is "so vast that you may travel for weeks by canoe in Summer or by "dog train in winter without reaching "its confines," was a fur country until more barren than forest, a preserve of the Hudson Bay Company. Now it is believed to be a treasure house of copper and gold, but its wealth must be uncovered by the prospector. "Copper," say the author, who has prospected himself. has been found in abundance, one of the discoveries, that at Flinflon, being estimated to conCain a minimum of 20,000,000 tons, and to win it railways and smelters are projected that will necessitate the labors of thousands of men and the creation.

At tne oe tea costs a dollar a pound and sugar twenty-five cents, but there "are com pensations in wild geese at "a dollar each, a pair of mallard ducks at" twenty- five cents and moose meat at five cents a pound.

Here are riches of another kind, lake 'trout run ning as high as thirty-two pounds. A man might be wise to camp there till the snow flies and part company with the treasure-seeker. However, the author having attained Athapapuskow, "we had won our way," he says, "into "the mining district. We were on the border of the dolomites, and in every "direction excepting south could indulge in a prospecting orgy with a good "chance of success." The "lure of the Land of the Lob- stick is not macrnetic enouorh to draw embarrassing number of fortune- hunters to its bosom.

Fine samples of copper and gold ore are shown by prospectors, but there must be a good deal of it in' any spot to tempt investment on a considerable scale. It seems to be a region destined to slow development.

At present transportation is a nut to be cracked. Access as yet is an ordeal. The author speaks of "that abominable Goose Creek and its 'sister in infamy. Rat Creek." A prospector who strikes it rich will have earned his reward. What with the mosquito, the black fly, the bulldog and the sand fly, whose open season is from June 10 until early in August' and the snows and frosts of a long and bitter Winter," the Land of the Lobstick is not a paradise for the outlander.

But there is still a chance for the man of limited means. The author says that the settlers are not yet spoiled by the greed of speculation." LAW OF NATIONS STANDS.
