TUP. Hnosier hangers-on at Washington thus far haven’t got inut h, hut they have demonstrated to U»e country the awful capacity of their maws, and their wolf-like ability •ft howl for any and everything. flor. Gray's apjiointtuent of Maurice Thutn|W<iu ns state geokq'ist is a violation of the filwem ttf things. Why a nwut a» emiHen tty flttad for the place a*( Professor OUett should be displaced for any one, must be songht In the operation of the vicious and corrupting spoils system. AN appropriation for fun,000 to meet the •Aprnses of the tqiecial session was passed ^Hth industry and enthusinsm by the htmse yeaterdfty, and will douMless be similarly treated by fhe aonate. This liears out the estimate we made of $50,000, with a margin of $10,000 «S the cost to the people of the grabitlng propenshle* of the present bady. Gil FlRRCR wasn’t a newspaper man for Rrttiing. He cotaprehemb-d the woman suffrage sham. 8o when, later in life, he eontea to be governor of Dakota, he vetoes • bUl proposing that fallacious exercise. Woman suffrage is the redact»<> mi absnrdnm of popular rule. The ncKt step would Intoward an ending of the rule altogether. TlM’leveliinfl Micceeds as a reform president he will slough off' the bourbon spoilsmongering element of Itis party. That w ill he the logic of his success. Tills would seem to promise llte tong-promisetl break-up of partu s alsiut as strongly us anything oonlti. There is a great mass in the repuhlioau party, and all of the independent votes 4hat would join such a departure. ON the atinouncemcnt of the British ad vauoe from Suakita, yesterday, in search of the enemy, we remarked we tiumght they Wouldn’t have much trouble in finding him. They didn’t, and he was the same old enemy. As soon as they found him, apimrently they found all they wanted, and retired. He i* u tough citisen, that ancient enemy, the Arab. When he gets together lie makes u hard mawd ; few die and none surrender. Clearly, consideration* of the highest good call fbr a woman trustee for the home for the frehle-minded. TIh-j- make a case so strong as to need no argument. The horrible revelations concerning the |MHt management of that institution aside, it must In- uppai -nt that the proper care of girls, not able to properly core fbr themselves, cannot In* aceonipltshed without the oversight and control of Women. The ftinner supplietl by fhe matron, neetls the latter to Is- supplied by a Woman trustee. Hen attend too much to the pmcticnl supervision of material wants, Measuring success by dollars ami cents. In the work of rescuing the unfortunate* to Which this institution 1ms lieen dedicated, tbe finest enre is needed tiiat the work, only partly done, may not make the last slate worse than the first. Without the intelligent and sympathetic eu]tendsiou whicli only women can give, brothels are $■ likely to |>rofit ns places pure anil elevating and of good report. There are soul-i tn mve here as well as bodies. Let us have the help of women, without which little that is good in this world comes to pass. As Important meeting of prominent citijwim was held yesterday afternoon on the Mbfeet of the constraetion of nvHuluctovrr them timed tracks on Virginin avenue. The meeting recomuendetl that tiic money in the eity trees tin- on acemint of sinking fttnd and saloon tax fbhd, he need in eonneetion with What could be promtretl from the railroad eompnnies inconstnu-tihg the viaduct. These two fttnds amount now to shout $7.s0u>, of Which $4. r ,ft00 is saloon tax. If the latter should he used for ihe viaduct the Tomlittsoi- fond anti property amouating In value to about Al00,00f>, vrouM still be left to construct n market house with all, the additional rooms ncede<l by the eity. &ueh a building could be ramie to pay the eity a fwsl percentage on its cost,and it is the only kind of building needed. The expenditure •f the saloon tax fond for a viaduct would be of infinitely greater advantage to the public than it would be if expended for a dty hall. The stoking fond is not needed to asset maturing hoods, because the law authorises the refunding of the bowl*, which e$n be done now at a low rate of interest. If this fond and the saloon tax fond are not ••ed in the construction of a viaduct, then hath should bo turned into the general fond, thus relieving the people from taxation to The Bnrtholdi Statue. In five or six weeks wc shall hare Bar-HtoMi’s-statue here, and not only no place to >pRt It, but no probability of one for many a hmg day. It is a national present, too, made by our Ration’s first ally, not through a govMtUBeat appropriation, but by a popular MRtrfbatwn. To have done honor to the ocaasion, we should have been folly ready for It on its arrival. To have saved ourselves Dm shame of ingratitude or indiftercaoa, we should, at least, have had some excuse (or delay. We are not ready, and we have no •xcaae. The grandest gift ever made by one aatiou to another, the greatest work of the kind ever known, the must majestic symbol

of BAkraal amity ever conceived, is to come here and lie aboid the. Sew York docks like a cargo of infected rags, or about the government warehouses like smuggled good*. We hardly expect it to lie sold, like the prostrate Coinsen* of Rhode*, tor old brass. And we certainly do not expect,.if it is, that will be carried off on nine hnndred j ckasse* as that was, but what reason is there to hope that H will be revurrected from rubbish in five yritrs and erected where it belongs? The chief trouble has been that the country has generally regarded H as a New York aifoir, and left the contribution of means to build its pedestal to New York liberality. It is not a local affair in principle, •s one mjght my. It is a gift of the French people to the American people; but as a matter of foot the American people of the greater part of the country, which is the great Wort, are people of all race* under the suu, and were they not strangers by race feeling to a just appreciation of this noble gift, are too much al»sorbed in the strife for material thing* which, a new country induces, to care what becomes of it. The same may be said of New York city itself. What do the New York aldermen care for lAtfayctte or De Grasse or Rochuiubeau, when they never heard of them except iu a chance allusion at some democratic ward meeting? What do the great hotly of the uaturalixed citizens, who control the politics of the city, care for the alliance between France and the colonies? Half of New York might as well be in Ireland or Germany for all the interest or information it bos of the conditions of the revolution. They don’t feel the appeal, and it is not strange that they <lo not. New England and the Atlantic states owe it to their historic* and memories to take up the cause^of this neglected gift and make It worthy of themselves and the event it crtnimemorates. If this is not done, then the litierality of • New York rich men must Care for it Hituply os a local monument, just as it cared for the Egyptian monolith. Failing all these, then will come the disgraceful condition which is rapidly foreshadowed, and the pity of it is, it will be a disgrace that nobody wilT feel so much as the generosity of the people that prompted the gift. GENKRAL GRANT’S COOL ■KAO. No Man Kver Haw Him Show Surprise or Agitation. [Cleveland Ia-uw.] No man ever saw General Grant speak or act as if he were surprised. His staff officers would try to see if they could not get him to exhibit surprise or astonishment at some of tlieir stories, or by extravagant statement#. They never succeeded. When every one else was surprised he never gave any indication that the matter of the surprise was not perfectly familiar to him. In the most trying times he was the coolest and most sclf-pos-

sexsed. .

On one occasion 200 tons of powder in a barge Iving at the water’s edge in the James river, immediately op)M>sire Grant’s headquarter's at City rant, was exploded by an iuii-rual machine of the confederates, blowing the bodies of men and mull's and the debris of the quartermaster’s department into hi* camp, so tbiM the air was thick with Htimkc and falling Imdies, and every one was frightened. Grunt did not snore a muscle. With iniperlurhulde gravity be said to u staff “ Bals-oek, go out uud see what is the matter.” Nothing ever disturbed Grunf’# equanimity. He never lost bis head. You mirht tell hlm the most startling news in re* gat'd to the enemy, but bis few* wank! never indicate that it was news to him. If he was ignorant of a matter about which you were talking lie would draw you on in such a quiet way that you would never imagine that the whole mutter was not ]>erfect]y familiar

to him.

No Trifle Hhonld Fart Them. (New York Times.J "There is something tiiat has preyed heavily on my mind ever since our engagement, dear,” lie said, “but 1 am almost afraid to tell yon of it.” “What is it, George?” the young woman asked anxiously.

"J have always Iss-n a Universal ist myself, l>m, of course, when wc are nimh-one 1 shall. expect to attend your church.”
