The house in Springfield in which Mr. Lin?
coln liv? d when elected President bus been
conveyed to tho State of Illinois, and a valu?
able collection of memorials of the martyr
President will be presi ned there .?crjictually.
The trustees appointed to take ch.irgc of the
matter have entered upon their duti s. It
is eminently fitting that the Lincoln home
stead should become public projtcrty. It is a
Burine to which every lover of liberty will be
glad to make a pilgrimage.

English politk'S is naturally the leading topic
tn our London cable letter, but our r guiar
eoircsp ? ? dent furnishes besides one or two
Interesting bits of ? ws. One is that the
Queen is writing another book, the character
of which has not been disclosed. It is also
made known that Mr. Gladstone has written
en article for a Boston periodical, which is
?aid to be " addr. seed as a i>crsonai appeal
to young Aniciicans." It is hardly necessary
to state that any appeal from Mr. Gladstono
will secure an attentive hearing.

So far as the League pennant is concerned,
it seems at this point tu be anybody's race.
?'Anybody' in this ese means the five lead?
ing clubs?those of New-York, Boston, Phila?
delphia, Chicago and Detroit. The chances
of all seem to be about equally good. Fiiends
of each can find eutbcicnt reasons in ^support
of their favorite to convince at least them
s Ivcs that the others are sure not to be fore?
most when the season ends. The situation
is decidedly m? re interc-titig than it would
be if one club had so great a lead that th
?theis had no chance at all of catching up.
A valuable contribution to the discussion
on the relative mei its of the Volunteer and
the Thistle is presented on the eleventh page
of The Tribune to-day. The writer cloarly
brings to his handling of tho question a bet?
ter undeietanding of the problem than many
of thoei who undertake to solve it. His con?
clusions seem leasonable; they will certainly
be gratifying to most Americans-, they ?\??1
siso undoubtedly provoke comment am? n s
the advocates of both the sloop and the cutter
type of yacht. If tkfl Volunteer haa a fair
chance to win in smooth water, and a still
better chance in rough water, what more can
we aak F Paid experience justifies us in ex
rpecting light winds and smooth water for at
leas* two of the Cup races. If there should
be a change in these respecte this year,
friends of the Volunteer will probably have
no cause to rcgiet it.
The name of Lorenzo Da Ponte is not a
familiar one to New-Yorkers, although during
tbo greater part of the thirty-threc years which
ko spent in America Da Ponto lived in this
city, wh re also his death occurred. The story
of this remarkable man which is printed on
%ht ninth page is not only interesting but val?
uable for the new light which it throws upon
the career of the collaborator of Mozart in
the production of "Don Giovanni,* who was
at various tim?s poet, politician, bookseller,
college professor, teacher and tradesman.
Tho writer has had ace* se to new material in
an uncut pamphlet of Da ??-nte's discovered
in the New-Yoik Historical Society Library,
and besides learning much about his eubjtct
from hie own pen, he has for tho first time
stated correctly the date of Da Peute's de?
parture from Kur ope. It is a curious and
entertaining narrative, and pathetic as well,
lineo the Italian in his old age feared that
bt? would dio neglected and that bi* fame
would not survive. Da Ponte, by the way,
vas ? t bis real name. What that was is
unknown. So, too, is the place of his burial,
lay a strange coincidence, both Mozart and Da
Ponte, once associated In the making ol a
famous opera, r st in unmarked giavcs.
BLIND GUIDES.
No impartial observer, reading the reports
of the Prohibition Convention at Syracuse,
could have fai!cd to be struck with the earn st
' spirit of tho gathering and the excellent char?
acter, as a rule, of tho men composing it. It
was, indeed, unpr cedentod to Fee .icarly a
hundred clergymen sitting as delegates in a
Stato political conventi! ??to sec marly tho
entire body risi?- when a call was made for
nir-mbcrs <if church s to show themselves.
No | aper recognized these things more frankly
than The Tuihl'NE, and no pap-r is more
willing to give th m al! tlie weight they de?
serve. We have never questione.1 that, what
ever might be s;:id of some o? their lcadeis,
tho Third Party l'rohi'.ilionists?as we must
call th m, to (listing Hi lliem from the vastly
greater number of Prohibitionists who rem;iin
within the Kcpublican ??aity?aie, as a rule,
earnest, God-fearing men and worn n, whoae
sincerity is beyond doubt.
But tho excellent character of the party as
a vln.le mak s it ?ill the more to bo regivlted
that its influence should be exerted, beoanM
of mistaken methods, against the very causo
to which it is dev< ted. The ninety el? igvnien
in tho convention voted for the planks in tho
platform denouncing the Republican party for
passing the Crosby High Lie use biQ. If theio
liad been ninety liipior dealers in the con?
vention they would have voted the same nay.
Tho worthy preachers ?nd chinch m mbers
who controlled this convention play right into
the hands of the rumsollcrs when they block
th?? way of Republican laws for stricter legu
lation of the liquor traflic, and seek to give
political power to the Donnerais, the party
to which tho vast majority of li juor dealeis
belong. 'Phey claim to be viser, not only
than the whole of the Republican party, but
wiser than ahnest the whole of the Prohibition
party, for they are only a small part of It,
Mr. Mctcalf. of Rhode Island, in a Iettar we
aliud d to the other day, showed that seven
."?tales which voted for Plaine have given a
popular vote for prohibition of '.?IT?,'..'?.*, and
only 49,004 votes for St. Join. Nineteen dit
of twenty of these Prohibitionists pi fetTOd
to Work with and through the Republican
p:uty rather than with and thm'igh the Dem?
ocrats and liipior-deiilers. Is tli ic no food
for thought in the.se figures ?
FAREWELL TH IHE CAR STOVE,
It is to be hop (I that the r.iilr??a?? companies
of the State are considering what they wi 1 do
when the cold weather airne? to make their
cui* comfortable. The danger of an inciCbWC
of colds and analogous tMsofd is. if not, in?
deed, of pneumonia, as a ? -Milt of tlie pro
bibition of the st ve ear is one t.ai need? to
be considered. Unltss the railroads ar ready
jiioinu'ily with whatever a]p.iiatus they pro
poso to adopt, the public will Ih? subjected to
considerable annoyanc '. Just when a howling
nor'eastcr or an embryonic Dakota blizzard,
too fill of ardent emotion lo wait the pTupcr
period of its maturity, will burst tii^on xi.4,
cannot bo accurately foret I I, an 1 th jtroper
thing for the railroads to do is to autici? ale
all eiiieig? nries and have the machinery fot
heating their train?, all t si???! ani of a-c?'i
tained value, ready for u?e before tho fall
advance?.
The Legislature did wis ly in banishing the
car stovo. It ant? the worthy ally of Uh; air
brakes that don't brake, ;:n I it is chiefly re?
sponsible for the dreadful conflagration horrors
attending railroad calamilic-, 1 ?>itlc>. it art?
a clumsy and b.ghl.v nn?bti?fnctory in" thod
of b atiing. Cars thus warmed were either
as cold as a polar bhust or as hot as a simoon.
There seemed to be no way of icgulaliiig the
I stove, l-'icaucntly pa-s-ngors in it? vieillit?
[ were toasting while their (listant f Hows were
being frost-bitten. How much betier the
stove's substitutes will be remains to be s'en.
Rut if the problem of supplying heat for tiain?
without exposing pass ngcrs to peni is not
yet fully solved, nothing will mote sincl.v
h a.?? ten the day of its solution than the ban?
ishmcij. of the stove.
It is time, too, for the oil lamp to receive
suino legislative attention. Th v. oral features
of the Chatsworth disa-tcr were caused bv
fjics resultant fro ? the linios. If an over
thrown train eaonpca this ?Luger, it onn only
be through something akin to a provivi? nlial
intervention. When subjected to ?i severe
shock, the most obvious thing for a lamp to
do is to upset and after pouring its inflam
mabl?? contents over everything to apply the
torch and iiicreaso a th(/usand per cent the
perils and horrors of the accident. Al against
tho prohibition of the lamp, the raiiioads
do not have even the arguments by which
they could roas? nibly oppose th? movement
against the stove, for a far better illumination,
as devoid of danger as any method could be,
has been successfully d vi?ed. It is puirlv a
question of expense with the railroads, and
experience has shown that in many exse? the
only way they can be comp lied to purchase
tho safety of pas-engers at the expense of
their treasury is tluough legislative ena? tineiit.
The public i? well rid of th stove. It? retire?
ment mast bo stand by the lamp.
AS ILLUSIVE TRIUMPH.
The Salisbury Government has secured full
liberty of action in Iieland with unexp ?tod
ea.se. Tho debate on the proclamation of the
Nati?,rial League has not proved a critical one,
although Mr. Gladstone, .Sir George 'JK-v han
and Sir William Parcourt mide \ig and
incisivo speeches. Mr. Ralfour a u .tied
upon the scene with a big budget of b% paite
information and confidential notes on tho
stato of Ireland, and while he heavily dis
counted tho value of his exhibit? by bin re?
fusai to l:iy the statistics before the House for
critical examination, he offered a fair defence
of the Government's action. Lord llarlingtoii
and Mr. Goschen th? ? succeeded in whipping
in the main body of the Iniamiste and the
division resulted in a majority for tho Gov?
ernment of 78. 'liiere were only six Unionist
des rteis?Mr. Chainbeilain. Mr. Colings and
four more. The division was not a large one,
only 4Gt> members being present out of 070.
Tho result has cans? d something more than
a feeling of relief on tho Tory side. There
Is a tone of exultation in Government circles.
Our spelai cablo dispatches show that the
unexpectedly large majority is regarded in
London as a decisive defeat for Homo Rule.
Sympathizer? with tho Government aio con?
soling themselves with the reflection that the
Unionist alliance etili holds together and that
for onco tho Opposition bench has been cleaily
outmatched in debate. Tho Tory whips cer?
tainly euccecded in rallying a larger propoition
of their available force? than tho il omo Rulo
tacticians were able to must r ? and tho Union
j iste held their ground albeit with protestations
] oa their Up? against the lines dclibcratclj
select'd by the Ministers for their campaign
in Irelitfirl. There is, however, very little
ground in tho division for Tory exultation.
Tho Ibusc is theirs, antl wh< ? they make a
great effort, as they did in this instance, they
can remind the country by a largo vote that
Home Hule was defeated last year. But
although tho Hou-e is theirs it does nit now
ieprcsent public opinion as it did last year?
nnd a gr at majority is an illusive triumph.
A BLOT UPON CIVILIZATION.
The conscience of Georgia wems at last to
bo awaking The convict lease system Is
said to be doomed. It is none too soon, for
in some of its features it is gf? great a disgraco
to our American civilization a.s slavery it-elf,
and it lias often been ? La ? at terized by even
greater cruclia'es and m ?re revolting outrages
niton natural rights. The wonder Ls that 16
should have endured so ]? ng. The truth has
been told about it time and again by some of
the best-known men in tho Booth, but it was
abe to hold its ground because men of high
fctantling and gre.it inlluem e, (?oveiii'rs and
United Stativs BeiiatolB, were in:.king foitunes
out of it, every dollar of which, it is hardly
too much to say, was st'iined with human
blood. Any one who is curions to see what an
atrocious gad wicked system of conviet-slavciy
Is still practised in several States of the Union,
iiTK than twenty yea ? s after tho Emancipa?
tion Proclamation, hag only to read Mr. George
W. Cable's ????a?? of it, published some
jean since. But even Mr. Cub le was not able
to tell tho whole truth about it, because ho
could not write what women and children
might not read.
And yet when ex Congressman Felton in?
troduced a bill in the <?<N?rgia Lcgi-datiire two
years ago to reform the worst abuses of the
system, it received only forty-nine votes.
This year he has renewed bis eflOits, nn in?
vest igation is in progress by tho Legislature,
and just in time, let us hope, to give the sys?
tem its death-b'ow, disclosures have been
niado of dreadful cruelties and abuses. Tlie
first of these, whieh has not found its way
North, was with relation to the convict cairn, ?s
on trie Augusta and Chattanooga l.ailrond. The
sanitary condition of the rami? was shocking.
The State's chief medial oflieer reported that
he f? und " incipient eviilenre of scurvy or
.something very much like it." With an
average of seventy right convicts in camp,
he found that 64S ?lavs of work weie lost by
convicts through gickBOeg in the privions seven

Most of our nad?is, we believe, will read
these linea with ainarsrnicnt?. Has our hoaitod
American ci\ili/ation come to this? Have
the coiniiion schools, the naiBCrieg of inUllL
genie ?uid morality, brought folti: nu better
liuits than the e 1 We humbly ventino to
doubt it. We have fault? peculiar to us as
? ? copie, no doubt, but we incline to believe
that the Ameiican ij neither above nor below
the average Of human nature in other comi,
tries. We venture to .say that our shopke*?egg
areas honest, our merchants as scrupulous our
gentlemen and ladies as high-minded as those
in other quaiteis of the world. It is narrow
and provincial to ascribe to a particular
people, es|R-cially one's own people, failings,
that are tho common projierty of mankind.
And even if all this were true, it would be
in the highest degree extravagant U? lay the
whole blame on our system of education,
which has its faults, but is hardly responsible
for all the sins and errors of the Ameiican
people.
It may be a beneficial experience, however,
to be falsely accused, or over-accused,if it leads
to a little honest self-examination. It will
do ue no harm to ask oiirsclvcs at times what
tho chief faults of the Ameiican character are.
]\.r a short answer, we dcubt if any one could
do better just now than to point to young Ivcs.
whoso financial juggleries promise to be a
goaid deal more than a nine days' wonder in
Wall Street. Most of the worst faults of tho
American chaiacter seem to bo exaggerated
to tho point of burlestpio end combined in
this young man. He represents in an extremo
form the thirst for riches that i? too common
j with us. Thero Is too much talk about mill?
ions Had millionaires in the home circle as
well as in the newspapeis. Tho American boy
I Is likely to hear much more about rich men
thnn he is about great mon, moie about Wall
Street than about tho church or the college,
and it Is no cause for wonder if he grow? up
with the feeling that the men who make huge
foitiincs cjuickly are the world's true heroes.
It is unquestionably true that to a large class
of young men the career of a man who grows
rich even by do ibtful methods, is able to own
fast Itene? and a yacht, and is talked abouti
in the new ?pajaers, presents a'l the glory that is
worth striving for. Ives certainly represent?,
too, the Ideal of M smartness which young
I men of this class revere, and to which we as
a people are mere devoted, perhaps, than we
should like to eonfe-s. lie was -mall enough

I onsly helped just in the nick of time by tho
? d'sappcannce ot his books; smart enough to
Basel every bad turn of luck with a buoyant
| laugh: but, not smart enough to avoid being
too smart. We should be soiry to think that
this young rascal was in any way a repr??
sentative American, but his career may be
studied with profit, above all by those win?
have the training of the yoimu' in their charge.
