TUB MORALITY OF TUB SLAVES
OF TUB RING.
The Press in its leading editorial article of
yesterday said, in relation to the nominees of
the last conventions, "As t matters of per.
sonal character, we do not think the Repnbli
cans of Philadelphia are quite ready to allow
euoh considerations to enter into their
philosophy." If a thought like that, unblosb.
ingly expressed, means anything, it means
that its author has been so long swung around
in the mnddy vortex of political chioanery
that he is incapable of an honest appreciation
of the ordinary duties of citizenship; that his
moral sense is so blunted by long striving for
the spoils of office that he is not only unfitted
thereby to teach others, but that his official
conduct will bear being closely1 watched by
all those whose interests are therein con
cerned. The very expression is a full, free, and em
phatio endorsement of every line and word
printed by The Telegraph against the
ring nominees. Their want of character is
unrestrainedly admitted, but it is said that
should be no bar against honest, honorable
men voting for them. Suppose that in
stead of the hungry, grasping crew who
now claim the support of the Republican
party in Philadelphia, a half dozen cells of
the County Prison had been emptied to sup
ply "the party of principles" with candidates,
would the Press still insist that
"matters of personal character" do not
enter into the calculations of those respectable
members of the Kepublican organization who
have kept their own hands clean, their names
unsullied, and their consciences clear of of
fense? When a conscientieus Republican goes
to the polls to cast his vote, he has a right to
expect to find the name of another conscien
tious Republican printed on his ticket. lie was
onoe before driven -unwillingly enough, to be
sure, and yet driven to vote for one who was
not honest for a place in which the candidate
afterwards sat as a judge of the court, and was
arbiter of the fate of the widows and orphans
of the city. He was spurred on then by the
cry of "vote for the regular nominations,"
just as he Is spurred on now
when other confessedly characterless
candidates are pretending to represent the
grand principles of his political faith. Again,
he is informed that he must vote as the rings
direct; his old-fashioned notions of the eternal
fitness of things are scouted at; he must give
up his convictions of what is becoming in an
officer of a great municipality like Philadel
phia, and bow down a slave to the place
hunting rings. Upon what pretense? Why
that in voting for men who have no character
he will vofe to maintain in a highly-moral
state of inviolaoy the principles of the Repub
lican party, just as certainly as if he voted for
other men having a great deal of character.
To test the truth of this proposition, it will be
well to inquire what principles the candidates
chosen by the conventions of last week repre
sent. They are indifferently well known to
this community: their lives have been spent
here chiefly. What has any single one of
them ever done to make stronger in men's
esteem and confidence these great principles
of purity and honesty in government upon
which 'the early leaders of the Republican
party planted it ? t The first victory of that
party was the country's emphatic protest
against and condemnation of the dishonest,
characterless men and measures that had
shaped to bad ends the entire Government.
The Republican party is young yet, and it
'Cannot afford so early to cut its own throat
by presenting to reputable citizens to be
voted for men who are not one whit better,
than those it was established to hurl from
power. Good principles are never repre
sented by bad men, nor is the Republican
party of Philadelphia represented by the in
dividuals who by trick and device packed the
conventions last week, and thus secured the
nominations. They represent themselves
and their inordinate greed for the profit that
comes from peculation and dishonest use of
place. If they represent anything else we do
not know what it is.
Our contemporary, with that want of moral
sense which the prospect of election dayyil ways
so clearly develops, asks, "What good can any
Republican hope ' to accomplish by voting
against this ticket?" Briefly, then, he can
preserve his self-respect, he can help to plaoe
in positions of honor and responsibility
men of known fitness and integrity, he can
teaeii the corrupt rings of Philadelphia that
taxes are levied for other purposes than to
enrich a combination of political tricksters,
he can uphold the principles of his party by
condemning at the ballot-box the monstrous
doctrine that character is without honor, and
that a thief and perjurer on the ticket is the
peer of an upright and just man off of the
ticket. He can do more : he caa compel
the conventions next year to nominate the
best men whose names can be found in the
City Directory the true representatives of
Republicans men whom he can vote for
without a blubh of shame.
THE PARK ART ASSOCIATION.
The I'aiimount Park Art Association, the
prospectus of which was published a few days
ago, has been organized by the election of A.
J. Drexel, Esq., as President; II. Corbit
Ogden, Esq., as Vioe-President; James L.
Clagborn, Esq., as Treasurer; and John Bel
langee Cox as Secretary; and of a Board of
Directors composed of some ot our most en
terprising and public-spirited citizens. The
object of the association is to adorn the park
with statuary and other works of art, and to
acoowplihh this subscriptions will be solicited
from all classes of our citizens. Every man,
woman, and child in Philadelphia has an
interest in the park and in making it as
attractive as possible in every way, and there
are few bo poor that they cannot give some,
thing tewaids filling our HplendiJ pleasure
(jronrds with fine works of . art
which will give enjoyment to many
succeeding generations. Many persoa
who are unable to make forge donations for
such an object, but who would willingly giro
something, have not hitherto been afforded ao
opportunity to do so, and such an Msooratroa
as baa been organized will not only secure the
large contributions of the wealthy, but also
the small sums which those whose resthetio
tastes are more extensive than their bank ac
counts will gladly give for the purpose of
beautifying the park. If the people at large
become interested in the matter, as they
surely will if the association
acts with the proper energy, the
small contributions will amount to a great
deal in the aggregate, and it will be possible
within a very short time to have some highly
meritorious pieces of statuary as additional
attractions to the natural beauties of some of
the choicest localities of the park. It is to
be hoped, however, .that the association will
endeavor as fat as possible to proonre the
illustration of American subjects by Ameri
can artists. In the Central Park of New York
there are bronze statues and busts of Shake
speare, Schiller, Humboldt, and other
foreign worthies, and others are in
preparation, while the Morse statue erected a
few days ago is the first that has been put up
in honor of an American. In this city Schil
ler, Humboldt, Shakespeare, Scott, and other
memorials are talked of, and we hope that
they will be erected; but it will, look a little
odd, to say the least, if our magnificent pub
lic pleasure-grounds are ornamented only
with the bronze effigies of distinguished
foreigners. We doubt not, however, that the
Park Art Association will perform its duties
in an eminently satisfactory manner in this
respect, and we hope that it will receive the
cordial support of all classes of our citizens,
and that all who feel an interest in the adorn
ment of the park will aid the good work to
the extent of their means.
THE ROOK CONCERN SCANDAL.
The Methodist Church is one of the largest
and most influential religious organizations
in the country. It is essentially a popular
Church, but it contains probably as much
culture and intelligence as any other, while
its bishops, clergy, and leading laymen have
always been noted for purity of character no
less than zeal for the promotion of the cause
of religion. In the interests of morality and
for the good of society at large, to
say nothing of religion, it is of
the utmost importance that the good name of
this Church should not be impugned, and it
would appear to an outside observer that
every Methodist, from the senior bishop dowh
to the humblest layman, would feel the neces
sity for putting an end to the Book Concern
scandal at as early a day as possible, by de
manding a thorough exposition of its affairs.
Thus far all that has been done by the Church
authorities has only served to confirm
the impression of the publio that the
business of the concern has not only
been grossly mismanaged, but that
its profits, which should have been devoted to
the support of aged and iafirm ministers,
have instead been put in the pockets of those
intrusted with the responsibility of managing
the business affairs of the great publishing
house. Several committees, after pretended
examniations,havemade whitewashing reports
with which nobody has been satisfied; and,
instead of the alleged offenders being made
to give an account of their' transactions, the
accuser. Dr. Lanahan, has actually been
prosecuted for having dared to Bpeak what he
believed to be the truth. This style
of stifling a scandal will not' , go
down with the publio, and the
persecution that has followed Dr. Lanahan
ever since he exposed the corrupt manage
ment of the concern only serves to impress
outsiders more and more strongly with the
idea that his accusations were just. If alleged
criminals are permitted to prosecute their
accusers for defamation of character before
being called upon to prove their own inno
cence, all law might as well be abolished.
Although ecclesiastical courts are not as other
court 8, and although ecclesiastical law is
generally remarkable for being everthing it
should not be, it is certainly a novelty even
among ecclesiastics to find the man who
claims to have discovered a crime, and
to be able to prove it if an opportunity is
afforded, himself placed in the criminal dock
on the charge that this disclosure is a scandal
against the Church. It the leaders of
Methodism have any respect for themselves,
any regard for their Church, or for the cause
of religion, or if they value the good-will of
honest men, they will unite in demanding that
the persecution of Dr. Lanahan shall cease,
and that he shall be afforded all the oppor
tunities he can desire to make good his accu
sations. When he fails to do this it will be
time enough to prosecute him for slander,
but as the matter now stands he certainly has
the sympathies of the publio at large, while
his persecutors already stand convicted in
public opinion of the offenses charged against
them.
THE OAS LOAN.
It is very probable that an effort will be made
this afternoon to induce Select Council to
consider and pass the ordinance for the crea
tion of a loan of .$.00,00) for the erection of
new gas works in place of those destroyed in
such an unauthorized manner by the Gas
Trustees, and we hope that the opponents
of the measure will not only exert themselves
to prevent . this burden from being
imposed upon the tax-payers, but
that they will carry the war into Africa by
taking steps to test the right of the trustees
to act as they have done, and if -they have ex
ceeded their legal authority to bring them to
account for it. We believe that an opportu
nity is now offered for striking a blow that
ill, in a measure at least, rid this city of the
detpotUni of the gas ring and give us abetter
management of the affairs of the gas works
tLan there bas ever been yet. Whether any
active measures are adopted against
the trubtees or not, however, the members
of Select Council will perfoia an essential
service to the tax-payers of Philadelphia if
they will steadily refnse to give the trustees
the control of half a million dollars unless
they can obtain some guarantees that the
mony will be expended in a proper manner.
The gas ring is oomposed of notorious politi
cal jobbers, and - as an important
election is to be held in a few
months' when enormous efforts will
be made to put into offioe men whose honesty
is, to say the least of it, doubtful, it may
be considered as a tolerably sure thing that
a very large proportion of the half million
dollars demanded by the ring will never be
expended upon new gas works, but will be
devoted rather to aiding the election of men
who are not likely to obtain the offices they
aspire to by fair means.
SUMMER RESORTS THE R01ELS
The summer hegira is fairly commencing,
and thousands of our citizens are on the
point of starting in various directions for the
beautiful resorts by the seaside, on mountain
tops, or in sequestered vales, which woo the
seekers for relaxation, health, and pleasure.
The routes of travel opened and the attrac
tions presented are bo varied that
all tastes can readily be grati
fied. The chief obstacle to a nearly
universal enjoyment of rural pleasures by
jaded or overworked denizens of crowded
cities is to be found in the extortionate
charges imposed by a large proportion of the
commodious hotels, in various quarters, for
scanty and imperfect fare. It has passed into
a proverb that few men know how to keep a
hotel, and if this art implies the bona fide
supply to guests of such accommodations
as they have a right to expect,
for a reasonable sum of money, it must be
confsseed that first-class hotel-k3epers are
exceedingly scarce. It is easy enough to
find speculators who attempt to make a for
tune in a few seasons by overcrowding popu
lar places of resort, and charging enormous
prices forinflioting a host of discomforts upon
a victimized public; and so many people
have submitted to these- exactions
heretofore that the genial, genuine, and con
scientious hotel-keeper who renders a fair
equivalent for every item in his bill is
rapidly becoming, in popular apprehension,
a mere relio of a better era. The travelling
publio, however, cannot afford to dispense
with him. It is getting heartily sick and
tired of the race of pretenders and extor
tioners who won't, don't, and can't keep a
hotel as it ought to be kept; and one of the
duties of the day is to force, drive, or starve
the fellows who, cannibal-like, feed upon
instead of feeding their guests, into obscu
rity, so that a new race of genuine hotel
keepers may once more be called to the front.
The subject of providing proper pavements
for Broad street and other of our principal
thoroughfares should engage early atten
tion, and it certainly ought not to be very
difficult to select a style of payment that will
give satisfaction. This the wooden pavement
will not do; and the experience of New York,
where the "plank roads" have cost the city
over one hundred per cent, more than they are
worth presuming that they are worth any
thing should be a warning to us not to have
anything to do with them. If the members
of Councils will exercise the same care in this
matter that they would if they had to pay
the money out of their own pockets, the tax
payers will probably have little cause for
complaint, and whatever kind of pavement is
chosen will be worth what is paid for it.
A case was tried in the United States Cir
cuit Court at Washington vesterdav. in
which suit was brought by R. O. Ruffio, a
colored man, to recover from Richard S.
Aver, an ex-member of Con areas from the
First district of Virginia, money for elec
tioneering services rendered when Ayer was
a candidate for re-election to Congress. The
sum .claimed was $373, and the amount
awarded by the jury was $21.1. The suit
is novel, but as outstanding bills
of the character indioated seem to be col
lectable by the law, a lively time may be an
ticipated when our bummers, runners,

dermen and courts in this region to compel
our politicians to square up accounts. In
anticipation of the good time coming a tariff
of charges should be established at the ear
liest possible moment, bo that the distinct
acts of perjury, intoxication, violence, row
dyism and intrigue, and all other species of
rascality performed in the servioe of candi
dates, could be readily ascertained by disin
terested juries.
THE POPULATION OF ENGLAND
AND WALES.
The population of England and Wales, as
ascertained by the late census, is officially
stated at 22, 700,000, so that England to-day
scarcely contains more than half as large a
population as the United States. The policy
of this tight little island has hitherto enabled
ber to not only exercise supreme control over
Scotland and Ireland, and over vast posses
sions in the. East Indies, North America, and
other parts of the world, but to hold, in a
species of industrial thraldom, many
highly civilized and otherwise independent
nations, our own country being included in
the latter category. England has ruined
every cation which she has thus thoroughly
ruled in an industrial sense; and such would
be the inevitable fate of this Union if British
free-trade fallacies were fully accepted ly an
American Congress and the American people.
Yet an influential party in our midst is
laboring actively to promote Buch an
end, mainly for the advantage of a
few thousands of our own citizens, and
of a few thousand of the leading manufactu
rers and capitalists included in the popula
tion of England and Wales; but it seems in
credible that any considerable body of Ameii
can voters can be deluded into the support of
the dangerous and destructive British free,
trade dogmas. They were framed exclusively
in the interest of, and are only adapted to
promote the welfare of, a few cotton
and tobacco planters, a few shipping mer
chant and a fewBritlHh manufacturers, while
tbeir enforcement would doom millions of
Englishmen to pauperism and millions of
Americans to poverty. Now that the oensus
discloses more clearly than ever before the
disparity between the populations of England
and the United States, considerations of pride .
as well as interest should prompt onr citizens
to reject all propositions designed to remand
forty millions of people back to industrial
vassalage to twenty millions of people on the
other Bide of the Atlantic.
The "new departure" continues to agitate
a considerable portion of the Democratic
party. By some it is bitterly condemned, by
others frankly accepted, and by others ao
quiesced in with mental reservations. Many
of the oooler and wiser heads of the party are dis
posed to regard it as a neoessary submission to
the inevitable; and they contend that if Ame
rican politics is to have a real significance,
and to logically represent current movements,
the Democracy must cease prating of dead
issues, and address their energies exclusively
to living questions.
