TnURSDAT, MAY 30, 1809.
MUST WE TAKE ST. THOMAS?
Dknmakk la In the dumps. The snug sum of
Hcvcn andahalf millions of dollars, in gold, which
hc expected to receive from the United States
for her little West India island is not forth
coming. The treaty providing for this purchase
is not even considered, and tho prospect of its
ratification grows mall by degrees and beauti
fully less with the lapse of time. The DaniKh
Ambassador has been to Washington, but he
found even Seward, tho originator of this famous
negotiation, nominally indifferent to its fate;
Sumner, chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, was neglectful; and (irant was too
buxj with othor pursnits to enter z.calon.sly Into
the retail real estate buBinens. In this dilemma,
Denmark appeals, through one of her
leading journals, the Copenhagen Vaghla
k't, to tho potent American power of
public opinion, and tho article has
been obligingly done into English and forwarded
to American editors, with a request that they
will spread its contents before the sovereign
people of this country. Denmark wishes to
create the belief that we owe her a debt of
honor, and that we have gone too far in the
matter of this purchase, or rather permitted her
authorities to go too far, to recede without dis
grace. Her plea is substantially this, that the
Johnson administration bought the Islands, and
that although it was well understood on both
sides that the ratification of the treaty was es
sential to its validity, and that Denmark would
have had no just canse of complaint if tho Senate
had promptly rejected it, and thus ended the
whole matter, yet the American people are
"held and firmly bound" to consummate
the purchase, because Denmark has sub
mitted the question to a vote of the
islanders, and inasmuch as they have expressed
a willingness to resign tho tender care of thoir
sovereign king, and to join their destinies with
the United States, the proceeding is irrevocable.
This theory would be much more tenable if the
treaty had been confirmed by a popul.tr vote in
the United States. The bridegroom, as well as
the bride, must say "yes" before the marriiige
is binding. The delay of the Senate was at least
pardonable if not absolutely necessary. As the
treaty was contingent, on the Danish side, upon
a double ratification by the Danish Congress
and the people of the islands, we should have
cut a sorry figure before the world if, after we
had formally agreed to take our little bride, de
spite her tornadoes, her tidal waves, her earth
quakes, and her diiniuutivcness, she should have
saucily turned up her little nose and refused,
point blank, an alliance with big Brother Jona
than! Let the world imagine our feelings in
such a woful contingency if it can, and decide
whether It was not prudent to guard against the
possibility ot tne mortitying rebuff that might
have "been in store for us. We sec no good
reason why tho King cannot make his peace with
St. Thomas. His daughter lias only done what
other king's daughters have done before, de
clared her willingness to obey a new lord and
master, in response to his command; and as the
amorous ardor of the proposed suitor has abated,
there is no good reason why the usual resource
should not be adopted in this instance, and the
would-be bride left to grace her native house
hold. The area of St. Thomas is variously estimated
at from twenty-four to forty-five square miles.
It is not half as large as the city of Philadel
phia. A tidal wave which slightly exceeded tho
usual dimensions would submerge it; it could be
swallowed up bodily by a respectable earth
quake, or blown to atoms by a first-class vol
canic explosion. Its population numbers but a
few thousands not half as large as that of
most of the wards of Philadelphia. No matter
what may be its commercial advantages, it is
manifestly absurd to give tho largo sum of seven
and half millions of dollars for the privilege
of ruling this infinitesimal scrap of territory and
this handful of people. Mr. Seward made a bad
bargain, which we hope nobody will be disposed
to ratify. The Danish journal has failed to
make it appear that our honor is at all concerned
in the matter, but the interests of American
tax-payers are deeply involved in their relief
from the proposed unnecessary burden.
WESTWARD HO I
Trnt ordinance that passed Common Council at
its last meeting, to sell a piece of ground to the
University, will soon come up for final action in
Select Council. In the meantime it is for the
public to learn the facts of tho case, and follow
the action of the authorities. The city owns two
hundred acres, the Blockley farm, in the best
part of West Philadelphia. The University,
grown far beyond Its narrow limits in Ninth
street, offers to buy abont a tenth part. Tho only
questiou Is as to the price. Some of the bent au
thorities on this subject have given their
opinion that the sale is a good ono for the
city. Of course, in this view euters, as an
important clement, the good done in securing
to the city, as a neighbor to its other property
the University, with its new buildings, and tho
general benefit in helping to enlarge the oppor
tunities of the University for greater activity.
Now, there are always men in opposition, and
there arc some who say this property can be
Bold at a higher price. No doubt there is some
tnith in this: if the property were cut up in
building lots, and sold in fronts on streets and
alleys, it would no doubt fetch more. But would
not a flue open place, improved by a noble pile
of collegiate buildings, be the most lasting im
provemcnt,and the greatest inducement to other
i corporations seeking a permanent lodgment, and
a home safe from the intrusion of trade and
'manufactures?
I It la bard, perhaps, In tho consideration of
Such a question as this, to lay aside the dreams
f a possible future academical grove in tho
llnishoiiBO fields; but is there no immediate,
. iVactlcal good also to be gained ? The ground
Ninth street now occupied by the Univer
lty, once set free, would soon be improved and
lay taxes to the city on at least one or two mil
HM. The University itself is already a source
of kicoiue to the city in the largo number of
studmu attending its Medical School. Extend
the Htiue privileges to the college, tho Law
Bchool, the Scientific Department, and multiply
by three the dollars and cents brought into
the pocceU of our citizens what is to prevent
p continual Increase ? But, nftcr all, the real
THE DAILY
matter to Imprcsn on Councllnven and on cltl
rom 1 the nocosslty of doing Bomcthlng for
higher oducation her. For a hundred year tho
University has gone on, bringing money, honor,
and credit for tho city, and doing its work
quietly and unobtrusively. i
Now the city Is askod to doal with it on fair
terms, giving It the benefit of a reputation that
ought to be as dear to the local authorities as It
Is to tho graduates, and doing itself honor and
credit, not by a lavish gift, but by generous
treatment, just such as a great municipal corpo
ration can and ought always to give to tho lessor
oooies within Its limits. The passage of tho
ordinance now beforo Select Council will bo tho
beginuing of a new tie between tho city and tho
inivcrsity, likely to icrow with their growth;
and anything that will rnako mutual interests
support ono another will be good for both. The
University ran do the city honor and credit,
while the city may well be proud of fostoring
and forwarding the interests of an institution
which has for a century done Its sharo In making
and perpetuating the fame of Philadelphia for
literary anil scientific attainments.
THE PUIiLIC FOUNTAINS,
Tup, Fountain Society have commenced their
good work by erecting several plain but sub
stantial structures In tho heart of the city, and
if any person wishes to obtain some idea of tho
benefits to be conferred, ho has only to station
himself for half an hour some warm day at
Fifth and Chesnut or Seventh and Walnut, and
note how many persons stop and drink. The
fountains already erected have been subjected to
much adverse criticism, some of which is un
doubtedly deserved; but the work which tho
society has undertaken to perform is so impor
tant, that the largest charity should be extended
to its ii'sthctic sins of omission and commission.
We want, first of all, plenty of fountains In all
parts of the city, and if the means in hand for
providing them aro limited, it is decidedly pre
ferable that the ornamental should give way to
useful, for a time at least, although we hope that
the day is not far distant when we will have
fountains of really artistic design, that will be
grateful to the eye as well as substantially bene
ficial to thirsty travellers, biped and quadrupod,
during the hot summer weather. Tho fountains
already erected are plain, it Is true, but there is
nothing offensive to good tasto In the structures
themselves. They will answer our present pur
poses admirably, and until the rough work
of the society is performed; they are
entitled to respectful consideration from
those who desire something more
ornamental. The terra-cotta vase on the Chesnut
street fountain, and, in a less degree, the gilt
eagle on the one in Walnut street, are unneces
sary and ugly additions, which may fairly be
condemned. The vase, we are glad to see. has
been removed, and we hope that the eagle will
not be long in following it. These articles must
have cost something, and the money could have
been expended to much more advantage in erect
ing different fountains. The terra-cotta vase
was not only out of keeping, but. with excessive
bad taste, it was covered with a coat of paint,
which made its last state worse than its first.
May we see it no more. This eyesore, however,
suggcststlic suitablenessof terra-cotta for fountain
purposes. Very elegant fountains might be made
of this material for a much less price than granite
or other stone, which would be equally substan
tial and serviceable, and it is worthy of the con
sideration of the society whether one or two
fountains might not be made of it by way of
experiment, at least. Terra-cotta is susceptible
of any amount of elaboration, and if care is only
taken to procure irood designs, mid rn nvnn
paint as an abomination of the first order, our
cold-water philanthropists can combine the
nnw wmi tne autce in the most effectual
manner.
A CASE OF WOMEN'S III GUTS.
V... ...
ii-.sikkj)ai a raiuer remarkable case was tried
in the Court of Quarter Sessions, in which the
ngnts ana responsibilities of women under tho
common law were illustrated in a particularly
1U'" ""oilier, unit me practical common sense
oi me average modern jury was very clearly
ui-iuuiiiHiLiiuu. man i.iia nis wile were caught
in the very act of shop-lifting, and when they
were arrested a "lift" skirt, such as Is usually
worn by professional shop-lifters, wag found
upon the woman. The evidences of guilt were
plain and unmistakable, and it would seem that
there ought to have been no possible difliculty
in procuring tho prompt conviction of the
guilty parties. The counsel for the defense,
however, put in the extraordinary plea that, as
the woman was married, she was supposed by
the law to be acting under tho coercion of her
husband, and was consequently entitled to an
acquittal. This plea was admitted bv the Court,
and the Judge charged tho jury, stating that
the wife was entitled to plead the presumption
of the law, and that It was for the Common
wealth to show that she was acting Independently
of the husband's coercion.
The jury appears to have hovered some time
between law and common sense, and, after nn
hour's consideration of the subject, they came
into Court, stating that they stood eleven to one
and asking for further instructions. The result
of a second consultation was a verdict of guilty
for both parties. The jury are entitled to con
siderable credit in this matter, but neither the
judge uor counsel can be blamed. The law is a
relic of feudal barbarism, and when Its absurdity
is demonstrated as clearly as it was in this in
stance, the result ought to be a speedy reform.
This is decidedly a case for tho attention'of
the women's rightists, as it is clearly opposed to
all their mst cherished principles that the law
should permit a woman to commit crimes under
tho supposed coercion of her husband; and we
commend tho matter to the careful considera
tion of the editress of TUe Involution. It is
Uimeult, however, to tell what course Mrs. Stan
ton, m,m Anthony, and their colaborers will
adopt as they at times appear to be working
no only for the emancipation of the sex lomi-
