uader the federal yoke "as a pledge of servile submission. If the yoke galled they reserved the right to kick. A federal judge is no doubt a mighty fellow in his own esteem, but if ho trifles with tho genius of Yankee liberty he must be prepared to find out that he is only small potatoes and few in a heap. It is, therefore, as unwise as it is unnecessary to further aggravate the excitement which prevails in the Puritan community. Representative Millen ought to withdraw his resolution, or the committee on rules to which it was referred ought to smother it.

Goneral Butler is perfectly able to take care of himself and to enforce his professional rights. He doesn't want any help from the attorney general, and he is too much of a patriot to oontemplate with any satisfaction the possibility of the secession of Massachusetts from the Union on his account. It is as dangerous for a federal judge to wound her sense of sovereignty as it is for a small boy to tickle the hind legs of a mule, and, knowing that fact, it is tho duty of everybody to exert himself in the interests of peace. and destruction to property following close upon tho introduction of the system of overhead wires have been disappointed. Since the operation of the system has beon perfected and understood the utmost satisfaction has been experienced on all hands at the streot car service we are giving the citizens of Rochester.

I do not believe there is anyone who would exchange tha now syatem for the old horse cars. I do know that the pooplo on routes not yet oqnlpped with electrio cara are only too anxious to bo frco from the un olcanliness and inconvenience of horse cars. My earnest wish is that the work of reconstruction and re equipment may go on in the manner which was prosecuted last season, so that soon the slow, old fashioned borso cars will be no longer seen in the streets of our beautiful city. From William Cowie, mayor, Syracuse Tho outlook for tho oxtensltn of the electric Bystem of propelling Btreet oars is very good. We aro having some jangling with the companioa about the shape, aizo, etc, of poles to bo used whether iron or wood in certain localitiea, etc.

but tho outlook is favorable for adoption of tho syatem on all our lines in the near future. From W. O. Rose.mayor, Cleveland, O. The uso of electricity as a metive power id the traction of street cars in this city haa been succe aful in a high degree.

It has given rapid transit 50 per cent, better timo than horse cara to remote sectiona of the city and suburbs. Iu tho evolution of our electric street ear sy tem to ita present condition, a groat many serious taults, most of which have been corrected, woro discovered and jiwtly complained of. Electrio power may be employed in such a way as to bo a nuiBance and a danger. A number of persons wero killed aud otheri injured during the experimental stages of electric motivo powor, and that led to tlio newspaper criticisma to which you refer, and which were justifiable in the main at tho tiraq. With tho improvod motors now in use, which mate lesa noise than thoae first made; with effective lever brakea to keep tho heavy motors and trains under full control: with eolid roadbed and heavy rail; with the wheels of both motors aud trailers equipped with guards, to avoid running ovor those who may fall before or between the cars: with the adoption of adequate measures, as gates and wire netting to prevent passengers entering or leaving tho cars on the danger side; and with wires strung above tho trolley wires to prevent connection with broken telegraph or telephone wires, the electrio system ef street car propulsion is reasonably Bafe and affords a service to the public far iu advance of the horso car system.

Thero is, necessarily, greater danger on atroet railway lines when tho speed and weight of equipment aro increased. But thia applioa to any system of raoid transit, and with the precautious named, and others of a minor nature, the electric syatem may be made as safe aB cable traction. From J. W. McNamara, superintendent Albany, N.

system Yours of the tilt, was received thin morning. I had not seen the statements published in the New York Times unlil I received them tromyoti. We will consider first tho concluding sentence of the editorial para mandatory. It is in the nature of a request rather than an order. While housekeepers are asked to comply with it, the reasonable inference is that they will not be exposed to serious penalties by failure to do so.

In this, as in other matters pertaining to the domestio life of the community, municipal officials should not be too precise. The line of restraint, if drawn at all, should be drawn on city employes rather than on the general body of citizens to whom ultimately they are accountable for their stewardship. Tbo Modus Vivendi. Lord Salisbury and Mr. Blaine are busy arranging the terms of a modus vivendi for the ensuing sealing season.

There is every prospect that they will come to an amicable understanding. Meanwhile suggestions as to what it should embrace are numerous. One comes from Washington and is to the effect that Great Britain and the United States should each station a war ship to patrol the entrances to Behring sea and turn back 'private vessels proposing to enter the disputed waters for the purpose ot catching seals. There is no objection to this so far as it relates to vessels sailing under the" Euglish or American flag. The double patrol is a good idea and the labor ought to bo shared by both parties to the agreement.

But it is possible to imagine case in which not even the double patrol could accomplish the objects of the modus vivendi. Last fall the Eagle called attention to a report that certain merchants of Hamburg and Bremen had formed tho design of sending vessels to Behring sea dui'iug the season of 1891 to take fur seal. The very fact that our government contemplates the issue of an order forbidding the destruction of any of the animals at sea or on land this year must have the effect of still further advancing the market price of seal fur. Under such a temptation German vessels are not unlikely to make their appearance on the fishing grounds. If they do, of what benefit to tho United States will a close season be? The only effect of the agreement reached by Mr.

Blaine and Lord Salisbury would be to shut out American and English sealers. The patrol could not exclude German vessels or the vessels of any other nationality. The exclusion ot the English and American ships would simply leave the. field free for the enterprise of their rivals. This difficulty enforces the wisdom of au international settlement of the whole question.

AVithout an adjudication to which all tho maritime powers aro parties there can be no positivo assurance of tho protection of the fisheries. every day folks who are not familiar with the mysteries of theosophy, its recognition of universal brotherhood, the existence of occult powers, and a succession of lives. In the minds of most people Mme. Blavatsky was nothing more or leBs than a vulgar fraud, who achieved notoriety and cash by the success with which she imposed on the ignorant and the credulous. She was thoroughly exposed in 1885 by tho London, society for psychic research, which proved that her alleged "manifestations" were due to trickery of the basest type.

Her career was important only as Bhowing how easy it is in these days of "fads" to make people swallow anything, and her death is not to bo regretted in that it is likely to save the fool killer a good deal of trouble. Philadelphia dank Failures. Philadelphia suffers aDother bank collapse. Financial circles in that city have no sooner recovered from the shook caused by failure of the Keystone than they are startled by suspension of the Spring Garden bank. Of the former institution the wreck is complete.

Recent investigation of its affairs has revealed reckless mismanagement on the part of its conductors. Whether the downfall of the Spring Garden bank is duo to its relations with the Keystone is problematical, but a strong suspicion arises that the failures are not wholly dissociated. Coinciding with the Spring Garden suspension is the assignment of the Penn trust company, a corporation closely related to the banking enterprise. It is announced that the trust company, which has a reserve fund of 100,000, will meet its obligations. To the municipality of Philadelphia the Spring Garden suspension will be a serious blow.

Of the $2,000,000 on deposit in the institution 15 1,000 was incity funds. As the loss of the city by the Keystone failure is estimated at 400,000, the taxpayers are likely to loso, within a few months, upward of half a million. Either the municipal authorities have been inconsiderate in the selection of places of deposit or they have been sadly deceived as to the reliability of the broken banks. Tho monetary catastrophes which havo shaken the staid old Quaker city will, in any event, impose additional burdens on the citizens. At first glance tho failures at Philadelphia suggest, general looseness of method, faulti ness of system and recklessness of management by the bankers of that city.

Careful examination shows, however, that the town is not, in proporAu to size and capital invested, more subject to financial disasters than other centers of population. The Keystone and Spring Garden bank suspensions cannot fail to disturb seriously tho business of the town, but there is not the least likelihood that they will produce anything resembling a panic in the most conservative of American communities. Sir. Klcbarduon Presents Nemo Common favorable to II. President William Richardion has given out for publioation the following correspondence relative to tho merits of tho trolley system of olec tric propulsion for surface cars, received in response to inquiries made at his instance: From Henry M.

Whitney, president West End company, Boston, Masa I have to say, firat, that we havo been running our eleotric linee for more than two years and no persoH, to ray knowledge, has Buffered any Berious injury from tho electrio current. Tho current used, namely, 500 volta, lit entirely within tho safety line. Tho community that wo serve by our electrio can is very much pleased with the change from horse can and ihe other communities that we now serve by horse cars aro impatient to havo the electrio cars introduced. We oarry about one hundred thousand people a day on the electric cars and I do not know of a single case of serious injury to a person caused by the electrio current for the la8t two years. of course, occur from the use of electric cars aa they do from horse cars, but we do not find that tho proportion from electric cars is materially larger at present than from horse cars, although when the lyatein waa first introduced, as a consequence of increased speed and the geuoral inoxperieuce of everybody, acci donts from tho electrio cars were for awhile somewhat larger in proportion than from horse cara.

You may make such use ot thia letter aa you see lit. From T. C. Barr, president Nowark passenger railroad company Thia company ia operating about six miles of double track by the ororhead electrical construction; using center polos to Bupport its wires, howover, inntead of tho Bide pole construction. We have operated this branch of our liue Bince October 4, 1800, and havo experienced none of the difficulties or dangers set forth in the statement of the New York Times, of which I have a slip before me.

The telephone ayHtem has not been interfered with; wo had no trouble with the wires crossing or burningout the stations, in fact, during tho heavjr ileot ntorms which wo had during the past winter our Bystem worked admirably, and held not only its own structure, but in several instances that of the telephone and telegraph wires which were thrown npun it by the excessive weight of sleet and snow. There appears to bo no general objection to tlio overhead construction here in Newark; as a matter of fact, preparations aro being made to further extend the ByBtem tbrough.the city. From Denis J. Whelan, mayor of Troy, N. 111 answer to yourB of a recent dato in regard to the operation of tho electric railroad in this city.

I'rom information derived from the company, winch I may Ray is iu full accord with rojr own observation, the Troy aud Lanaingburgh railroad company havo operatod their cars by electricity in this city for about eight months. During this time no person haa been killed or injured in any way that could be properly charzGil to tke uso of electricity in the operation of cars. Firemen and tho public generally Boem to regard tho wires aa safe and harmless, and the system i popular so much ao that tho road and bo other road hero havo been granted franchises for tho use ef electricity in the past year on several streets not heretofore having any streot railroad on same. During the paMt winter, the electric cars were oporatod with uninterrupted regularity in spite snows and blizzards, whilo tho horse roads wore operated at that timo with great difficulty and irregularity. From C.

Clominahaw, president Troy and Lanaingburgh railroad company In answer to your letter of last week in referenco to our electric railroad, I would say thafc wo have been running by, electricity for one year and ten months, uaiug thia power entirely on two of our lines, which run. one from Lanaingburgh to Cohoea and ono from Water ford to Cohoea. Tho latter place, as you probably are aware, haa a population of over thirty We have also been running by the Bame power ior over ten months past from Lanslngbui gh to tho center of tho city of Troy. In the next ten days we Bhall UfSruumiig the entire length of our road, whiclVTB oyer six miles from the power house. You are aware that our track through tho entire city ia on the principal buBiness street, which in some places is bo narrow that wo havo but ono track on it.

We are now running about twenty six cars by the overhead wire system. In a few daya, as before mentioned, we will be running about thirty five. Wo havo also tho frauchiso to run by electricity on several other streets, including a lino to tho depot, which we expect to havo running by fall. Wo havu disposed of all our horses, except on ono liue not herein reforrel to. Now ior the results: We are well pleasod with tho change, aa you can suppose from what I havo herein stated and from the further fact that wo are building a aecoiul power engluo and car house for our now line at an expense of over 0,000.

In all the time, one year and ten months, there has not been tho first accident from the wires to life or limb, either to employes or to the public. Further, there haa not been an accident to life or limb in tho samo timo that could belaid to the new system; in fact, wo have Bcveral timea been able to save tho lives of, or Berious injury to, careless people, by our ability to reverse our earn quickly, while if we had been using horses, accidents could not have been avoided. We use the iron pole in the city. We havo had several iirea on tho lino of our road iu tle time mentioned aud our wires have not given the least trouble to firemen or to others. In fact, the best evidence of its auccess and its popularity are the facts which I havo mentioned and which are easy of verilieation.

The past winter, with an unusual amount of snow, nan and general blizzard weather, haa proved beyond question that the electric aystom is far ahead of horses iu winter weather. We lost no trips on our electric lines but did lose several on our horse lines. If the Now York papers wanted to get at the truth of tho matter, and would publish what an honest man would report on tho two systems, by going where tho new system is in proper operation, it would open the eyes of the people in your town. From my kuowledgo of cable roads, I believe if we wero operating ono last winter, with the 8 to 10 inches of snow and frozen slush which wo had to contend with, we would have had to Btop tor days at a time. From C.

W. Wason vice president East Clove land railroad company We are confident that the terrible experience of its dangers in Boston aud Albany are entirely manufactured by the newspaper men aa we know has been the case iu our city. Although there is iu operation in thia country about three hundred electric railrvads, the rifHt fatal accident to human lifo from tho street car current is yet to bo recorded. Wo made some exhaustive tests with tho current, aud our linemen frequently get the entire current without fatal results. We have no trouble now with tho trolley wire getting on the ground; tho wire haa never broken; some of the first joints mado gave out, but aa now made tho troublo haa been ontirely eliminated.

From H. M. Watson, president Buffalo railroad company We have so far in Buffalo only three milea in operation and thiB is suburban. We expect to have Niagara street fully equipped and running soma timo in June, when we can give you more dclinito information. Thero have been no persons killed or seriously injured by our trolley wires and no apprehension oxiats as to its safety.

Tho popular feeling hero in Buffalo is for tho trolley. Wo have secured a majority of over two millions on Main street and havo a hearing before tho railroad commissioners in Albany to morrow morning at 10 o'clock in regard to tho same. Wo havo a certificate from the assessors that wo nave over two million majority. Whether we shall have any opposition there time only will tell; we know of none up to this time. Of course wo have cranks here as well as you have and some opposition at some points, but we aro in hope of overcoming it all.

I think after Niagara street ia running in good Bhaoo there will bo less complaint than thora ia now. What tho peoplo want horo is rapid transit and good service; thia it ia impassible to give with horses. From II. J. DaTies, tecretary Brooklyn street railroad companj Clerolaud, O.

Whou it was proposed to introduco the overhead system of electric street railway operation in this city the same protests and olfactions woro made that are now made to its introduction in Brooklyn and we had to meet tho same opposition on the part of tbo press and the public that you are encountering. But now that the roads are in successful operation electrically, we hear no objection or complaint on thia Bcore. The people hero would not tolorato a return to the old horse car system. There aro two street railroads in tho city still operated by horse cara aud they are losing patronage and receiving condemnation because tney havo not changed their motive power. Four of the railroad companies, covering seventy milea of doublo track, aro operated by tho overhead system.

Wo are permitted to run our cars at tho rate of twelve milea per hour, but have had no "terrible experiences of danger" to life or property due to the trolley Bystem. From Ceorge D. Haynes, mayor's secretary, Newark, N. J. In roply to yours of tho "0th of April the mayor wishes me to aay that at present thero are two companies using the overhead system.

One under one patent is working satisfactorily and the other not so well. As you are very near our city ho would a lviso you to come hero and nco for yourself, and draw your own conclusions by going over both systems, which would not occupy more than a half a day'B time at the most. From J. C. E.

Scott, mayor's secretary, Albany, N. Y. I am directed by Mayor Manniim', in response to your letter of April in reference to his communication to tho Boston Advertiser, to inform you that he haa had no reason to change hia views aa expreaaod in tho urticlo in tho Ad verllier. The overhoad trolley wire haa worked well in Albany. Whatever accidents havo happened have been due to the wires of the telephone company and not to the breaking or interfering of the railway wires.

Guard wires above the trolley wires are a desirable feature, and within the past few daya tho mayor has signed ordinances providing for their use. From J. N. Beckley, Rochester railroad company I observe that the attempt of your company to introduce tho electric trolley syatem for tho propulsion of Btreet cars in the city of Brooklyn ib meeting with some opposition. I wish to call your attontion to the success which has attended the introduction of electricity as a motive power for Btreet cara in the place of horses in the city of Rochester.

The Bystem iu use hero iB the short overhead single trolley eloctrio syatom. The Rochester railway company has for a period of over six months oporatod cara on varioua lines in thia city. Of the sixty milea of track wo are operating cara on nearly one half or about thirty milea. Our experience ia that the system is not only not dangerous to lifo and property, but wherever introduced it has given tho utmost satisfaction to the entire public. The only Berious accidont in fact, tho only accident which haa been chronicled in this city occurred the latter part of last March, in which an eldorly gentleman named Wakoman T.

Nickerjon was killed. ILb death waB in no way due to electricity or its use as a motivo power. The truth of my assertion is evidenced by tho report of the coroner's jury, which thoroughly and impartially investigated the circumstances attending Mr. Nickerson's death. The following ia tho verdict of tho jury: "We find that Wakemau T.

Niekeraon came to his death on tho evening of March 2a, 181)1, by being atruck by an electrio car on West avenue, and wo And that had Mr. Nickerson exercised due caution in crossing said avenue the accident could not have occurred." There iB no cause whatever for apprehension aa to the safety of the public on accouutof tho electric system. Anyone familiar with electricity and tho syatom here used can readily understand that the oloctric wirea aro free from danger to life and property. Tho insulation ia perfect. Be Bido this, tho wires are not charged with a bufil cient electrio current to produce fatal results: consecmoutly public prejudice against the use of oloctricity aa a motivo power for street care as used in thiB city, has quite, if not entirely, disappeared iu those districts where tho system has been introduced.

Tho most important result following the introduction of electricity into this city has boon tho great improvement in the street car servico. One of the most aatisfactory results is rapid transit. The suburban portions of the city aro brought within half tho distance iu time to tho business and manufacturing portions of the city. The rcBult has boon a large increase In tho value of propeaty in outlying district, t.i woll as along the line of the various oloc trio routOB. The streets are cleaner now than when horses were used, and residents along tho routea are saved the clouds of duBt which wore formerly raised by tho hoofs of the car horses.

In fact, tho introduction of the electric ayatem hero has met with such universal approbation that the company has been unable to equip other rentes as fast as demanded by the people in those sections where horse cars are now in use. A visit to our city and an inapection of our system will convince the most skeptical opponent to rapid transit by electricity with tho trolley system that overhead wires are not the dreadfnl enemies to life, property and proBporty that thsy have been pictured to be by those whose prejudices havo tho better of their reason. From William Carroll, mayor, RochCBter After an experience of over Bix months I think the people of this city are justified in pronouncing the system absolutely safe and oxpeditiotiB berond our highest expectations.

Tho Albany Journal pathetically says: Tiie Argus this morning wastes houio of its val uablo space in an attempt to prove tliat the Kivnina Journal has lost its influence with the Republican oartv. It is a Bad commentary on the present generation that two great newspaoei's which once needed only to fc peak in order to be obeyed should have lalleu to their present low estate.

On the contrary, it is a joyful commentary on the intelligence and independence of tho present generation that it is not slavishly subject to a pair of party organs, as a former generation was. Tho two onco dreaded and still influential papers havo not fallen as much as the public has risen: and other newspapers havo risen to divide tho influence once wielded by the Journal and tho Argus.

ptaBJBBSBBH 1 Creditors Will Have to Wait for Their Money. The AntI Semitic Disturbances' in the Vienna Reichsrata Th Austria Lottery System An Anbaisader and Hit Wires Miners Are Anxious te Sesame Wort. By the United Press. IiOnbon, May 9. But for the troublo between Russia and the Rothschilds tho new Russian loan would have been issued this week.

As it is, tho iasuo ia in definite, and the greatest trouble ia threatened to the creditora who hold the loans that were to have been paid off with this one. A dispatch from Vienna says that the crisis in tho reicharath ia chiefly due to the anti Semitic membera who behavo in auoh a violent manner as to call forth continual rebukes from the president and whoso oondnct has a moat demoraliz ing influence upon the other parties. Tho most aggreasivo of tho Jew haters is one Herr Schneider, who has a very unsavory record. He delivered a speech yesterday, violently assailing tho Jews, whereupon Blooh, a radical dopnty, arose and reminded the speaker that he ought to bo in jail and that be owed Mb freedom to the clemency of the tribunals. Thon there wai a greator scene.

Petitions hare beon presented to tho Austrian government asking the suppression of the Austrian lottery syatom by which tho peoplo in Aus tria, Germany and all ovor tho world aro swin dled. To the Austrian government the lotteries bring about 700,000 aunnally. Tho agent in Berlin and other loading European cities aro, it ia alleged, in the habit of defrauding purchasers of tlio lottery bonds, by taking, under falso representations, sums inach in excess of the value of the bonds, and in Berlin alone many cases ef privation and Buffering are attributed to thia form of fraud. The election in South Dorset, which resulted in tho auccess of Mr. Brvmer.

conservative, waa ono of tho hardest fought of the year. The conferva tlV03, or, aa thoy call themiolvoa, tho unionists, made extraordinary offorU to win the agricult ural vote. They had some of the best spoakers in tho party on hand day after day, not a day pass ing without a meotiDg. Tha liberals were equally energetic and are well satisfied with tho result. The new corporation of Greater Vienna baa a large infunion of the semi rural elomont, which 'a tho causa of some peculiar propositions now before that body.

One of the3e propojals ia that all housea in Vionna shall bo closed at 10 o'clock iu the evening and that all persons returning home after that hour shall pay a foe of 3 ponce to the door porters. Tho Gorman kaiser and kaiserin will reside during the summer in the now pilaeo, near Pot dam, where the young priucea of the imperial houso aro already installed. Tho removal of the court to the new palace had an omiuom beginning iu tho death of tho kaiserin'a favorite hound, Alberta. ZiaBoy, the new Turkish ambassador at Vienna, has had his harem brought to that city. It iucludos fivo wemen, supposed to be his wives.

Just before leaving Constantinople for his pojt Zia Bey was presented, as a mark of 03teom, with one of the inmates of tho sultan's seraglio. Custom compels tho sultan every year to rocoivo a certain number of women into tho harem, and they aro disposed of by giving then as wives to favored o.licors. Tho Empress Frederick of Germany has sent a message to hor daughter, the crown princess of Greece, hoartily approving the conversion of tho latter to the Greek ohtiroli. A dispatch from Berlin aaya that there is a serious break among tho atrikiug miliars of Westphalia and that many are willing to so back on tho owners' torms. Tho destitution in tho Dortmund district is rory groat, and contributions are being taken up among all classos to prevent actual starvation among the strikers' families.

Carr. In tho afternoon the guests wore entertained in tho music hall by Miss Annie B. Pliolps.the elocutionist, and Mrs. Rivardi, who sang sevoral selections. Tho attendance increased in tho evening and Mme.

Sophie Zela, tlio Swedish soprano, had a delighted audience. The vocalist woro a gown of pink silk, with mink trimming, and diamonda. Sho sang the Grand Aria from "La Traviata," and was loudly applauded at tho close. It was in this that she displayed that combination of power and flexibility so rarely met. She' sustained tho high notes with wonderful precision.

Hor second effort waa "Love Smiles no More," on air from the "Swedish Volkaong," sung with charming naturalness and swoetness. This waa one of tho favorites of Jenny Lind and Christine Nils eon. Later the aingor tested tho acoustic properties of the art gallery, affording opportunity for a larger audience, and gave "Sad Thoughts," also from "Volksong." Miss Sarles accompanied tho singing. Mme. Zela thought that Americans might well admire tho characters of Gustavus Adolphua and Charles XII, but alio waB surprisod and gratified to learn that the singers of her own land aro so well known and admired.

Three hundred friends of ex Street Inapeotor Thomaa Kane attended the regular monthly meeting of tho Sevonth ward Domooratio association in the Andrew Jackson, 800 Kent avenue, last night in anticipation of hearing the reportof the committee appointed at tho April mooting of the association to wait upon City Works Commissioner John P. Adams and advise him that it was the unauimous senso of the association that ho had better reinstate Mr. Kane, whom ho had dismissed. President Bouck was in tho chair and Secretary Powers kept record of the proceedings.

After forty four new members had beon enrolled and twenty two propositions received, Mr. Stapleton called for tho report of the committee on Kane's case. President Bouck said that in tho absence of the chairman of the committee he thought it would be well to lay the matter over until th next meeting. Thia waa acquiesced in by Mr. Staple ton, bacauao it had been given out to a few that the leaders had consented to lot Adams down easy, ho having sent for Kane yesterday, asking him to call at tho municipal building.

It is understood that Mr. Adains has decided to appoint Kane to aa lucrativo a position as ho previously bold, tho pay of which was $1,200 yearly. Resolutions on tho doatha of Dr. Kretzschmar and W. H.

Cellera and adopted, and James Flyus called the attention of the meeting to tho fact that under the rules of tho general committee no person could be enrolled as a moinber of the association after the June meeting until the following January. TALHAGIi'S SERHOSS BID IT. How tho Atlanta Constitution Carried Light Into a Poor Heart. Albany, May 2, 1891.

The Methodist church in this city was tho scone of a touching incident Thursday evoning. Several daya ago a woman of 'Tlio town, by the uamo of Stella Moore, who had been leading a disreputable life for a number of yoara aud had acquired considerable property, announced to her acquaintances that she had resolved to depart from her wicked ways and hereafter lead a pnro life. She sont for the Methodist minister, Rev. J. W.

Roberta, who visited her. To him ihe professod conversion, and Thursday evening she wa received into the ohurch as a probationary member. The incideuts oonneeted with her reception into tho ohurch wero of the moat pathetic nature, tho story of her life and determination to reform moving ovoryone to tears. Tho woman claims to have been under oonviotion for four yoars, but, being deprived of Christian influenoe, had flounderod throuah remorse, doubt and dc. Bpondency until recently, when, reading one of Talmaee'B sormona iu the Constitution, she wai brought to repentance, tho sincerity of which no one doubts.

The Christian people of tho city have determined to give the woman overy possible encouragement in her resolve to live a pnro life. HOTEL AKBIVlIiS. Clabexdon E. P. Qniglov, Neil Campbell, Mr.

The fugitive steamer Itata is loading Uncle Sum a mevry dance. While slie is actually on the ocean the federal authorities metaphorically are also "at sea." Reports from Washington and Sau Francisco as to what our government has done or intends to do are indefinite or conflicting.

The truth is that the United States have been caught napping. Neither on Pacific coast nor Potomac shore were their representatives prepared for the audacious venture of the dauntless Chilian rebel The haughty insurgent, knowing that as a people Americans are slow to wrath, presumed upon his opportunity and quietly gave us the slip. There is a comical side to the incident winch, if serious consequences do not ensue, will unfailingly contribute to the mirth of nations. The Itata, as matters stand, has certainly played an audacious prank. Complaints that the Washington authorities cere ret leeut as to their intentions are founded on impatient curiosity rather than on a rational view of the situation.

Whether the case is one for the employment of force or diplomacy, or whether it should be dropped where the departure of the steamer leaves it, can hardly be determined offhand by competent publicists. Of the right to seize and search the suspected vessel no doubt is entertained. Opinions differ, however, as to whether the federal government can capture her on the high seas without overstepping its legal prerogatives. Unless the power to ar Test the It at sea is established in law there is little likelihood that our cruisers will proceed to overhaul her. How serious the complications consequent on her escape may turn out to be the future must determine.

That she should have got away while in custody of a United States officer is unfortunate for this country. If, in the Chilian conflict, the Bal maceda party prevail, the negligence of our officials will probably be heard from through a claim for damages. If the insurgents succeed in overthrowing thecxecutivc there is no likelihood of a demand for reparation. Whatever differences cf opinion may be held concerning the Itata theie can bo none at all about the duty of this country in re respect to the neutrality laws. We have contended so strenuously for their enforcement by other powers that willful and frequent neglect of them on our own part would be inconsistent with our professions and unworthy of the place we occupy in the community of nations.

While the case of the Itata is not distinctly parallel to that of the Alabama the points of resemblance between the two are sufficiently striking to invite attentive study. With the republic of Chili the United States are at peace. The only government in that country of which the federal administration can take cognizance is the government of the Balniaceda party. In the event ot Balmaceda's overthrow matters would be raateriallv altered, but until his authority is subverted he is entitled to faithful observance of existing treaties. By permitting the insurgents to ship war materials ami supplies from our ports Americans would violate international law and usage not less offensively than Englishmen violated it in aiding and abottiDg the Southern confederacy.

If the Itata incident serves no better purpose it ought to incite the government to greater vigilance in guarding against violation of international obligations. Pending further developments naval movements on the Pacific will be watched by the public with attention. This country has in those waters sufficient force for all immediate emergencies. Three of the best cruisers in the new navy, the Baltimore, the San Francisco and the Charleston, are available within reach of the Chilian coast. That we shall lie drawn into hostilities is as improbable as it is undesirable.

If, however, a collision should occur, there is some consolation in knowing that the United States, even with the slender means ordinarily at command, are not unprepared to uphold their honor and maiutain their national dignity. Interesting to Housekeepers. There is hope for the housekeepers of Brooklyn. They have at last learned what the municipal authorities want them to do with their ashes. Commissioner Adams has informed them by circular that they are not at the mercy of drivers and dumpers.

Under no circumstances, ho warns them, should money bo given to the employes of contractors, for the removal of ashes or rubbish, either under threat to leave it or otherwise. Such a practice, the commissioner pertinently remarks, is demoralizing to tho service and makes control of it next to impossible. If cart men refuse to do their work the citizen is requested to notify the department of city works. Mr. Adams points out further that the contractors are required to carry away "all rubbish which naturally accumulates in a house as well as the ashes, when placed in vessels at the curb." Paper also will be removed, but "it should not be placed in the same reeeptaclo with ashes." The term "rubbish," the commissioner remarks in conclusion, does not include material which results from building or repairing houses.

The action of the authorities iu issuing the circular is significant. It shows that they are amenable to public criticism. The assault on tho convenience and comfort of citizens and their households by flic ashmen during the past few week3 is now authoritatively resented. That the assault was serious is evident to tho officials themselves. Reluctantly perhaps, but definitely nevertheless, they take cognizance of tho complaints which hitherto have found abundant expression through the press.

Upon tho exactions of blackmailers a halt is peremptorily called. Intimation is clearly given that the employes detected in charging housekeepers for work which the city assumes to do will be dismissed. If a plain case can bo mado against one of these blackmailershe ought not only to be relieved from duty, but prosecuted to the extent of tho law. The form of dis honosty which the offenders have undertaken to practice is peculiarly exasperating. If the warning of the commissioner proves efficacious his constituents will experience welcome relief.

There can bo no valid reason for subjecting residents of tho city to annoyance at tho hands of their agents. Officials and contractors are the servants of the public not its masters. Citizens are compelled, in the ordinary course of affairs, to suffer indignity and injustice beyond their deserts. Neither in tho work of Btreet cleaning, nor in the removal of ashes and garbage, does the city secure a proper return for the money paid out. So long as, in this respoct, unduo payment is exacted, it would bo monstrous to permit the peripatetic pirates who man tho refuse carts to insist on further tribute.

Iu calling attention to tho department's attitude in tho premises Commissioner Adams has surrendered to an imperative public protest. His allusion to the disposition, of mtuer is suaaestive rather thaaj Not an American Policy. "What seems to be claptrap and party advertising now," says our esteemed contem porary.the Sun, "would be a party cry strong and significant if the Democrats in the Fifty second congress or in the Democratic national convention should givo ground for the charge that the Democratic party is not American in its economic policy." There is no danger that tho majority in the next congress or the next Democratic national convention will do auything to justify the charge that the Democratic party is not a patriotic party. Both the great parties vio with each other in their professions of patriotism, and it is entirely truo that the mass of voters, whether calling themselves Democrats or Republicans, are patriotic men. The only economic policy which deserves to bo called American is that which aims to serve the economic interests of the majority of the peoplo.

If the policy, in honor of which the protectivo tariff league banquet was given is the policy embodied in tho Mc KiDley act, it is not, in the opinion of a large majority of the peoplo, entitled to bo known as American in the sense in which tho Bun uses it. It is not a policy which works for the greatest good of the greatest number. The question of its merits was the overshadowing issue at tho polls last November, and tho unparalleled revolution ivhieh that election effected in tho political character of tho houso of representatives in which the Mc Kinley act had its origin indicates tho popular antipathy to it. A rational conclusion from this result is that the policy of protection as exemplified by the McKiuley act is so thoroughly un American that the peoplo demand tho substitution of some policy that will truly serve their interests. Precisely what they want thoy may not be able to say themselves, but they are entirely confident that they do not want the tariff passed by tho Fifty first congress.

Therefore, so long as the act, iu its present shape, remains a law, there will be agitation for its amendment or repeal. Having been pronounced hostile to the economic interests of the American people and repudiated at the polls as a law that tends to enrich tho few at the expense of tho many, it must necessarily exercise an important influence when the voters come to make up their minds as to a choice of presidential candidates in 1S92. As the Sun very sagaciously intimates, the party supporting the "economic policy" which the McKiuley act represents cannot expect to win, because the people have already decided that that policy "is not American." '4'Iie Ureal ClaicaffO (iucstiosj. The agitation of the question of opening the world fair on Sundays is exceedingly lively. It is natural that it should be so.

The Sabbatarians are quick to perceive that if the question is decided against thorn the whole country will feci the effects of it and the arguments in favor of a strict observance of Sunday will loso some of their influence everywhere. It brings the mattor before the people of tho United States in such a way that the decision will largely determine the fate of such restrictive attempts iu tho future. If the fair is thrown open to visitors a precedent will have been established for opening museums, art galleries and other places of popular resort. The prejudice against such opening will be less effective than before, and one by one tho barriers that at present surround tho observance of Sunday will disappear. For this reason tho Sabbatarians are making a determined and obstinato fight against the proposal to admit visitors after tho hours of morning church service.

Thoy have succeeded in getting before the public the fact that the great majority of the Chicago clergy oppose the opening. They have not, however, made any effort to ascertain the sentiment of the people of Chicago. They do not care to know it, for it seems to be admitted tliat public opinion overwhelmingly favors the proposal. It is believed that this public opinion will finally compol the managers to respect it. During tho exhibition Chicago will haYO hundreds of thousands of visitors.

What are they going to do with themselves on Sundays if the fair is closed? If Satan is always ready with some mischief for idle hands to do, would not the closing be more fruitful of evil thau productive of good? There is nothing gained by keeping a man out of an art gallery or a museum on Sunday who would go there if he were not prevented. It only makes him surly and rosontful. Sunday observance rules should alwaysbo liberal and sensible. Every individual must determine for himself in what way he will "rest," consistent with a duo regard for tho rights of his neighbor. The few should not, in any narrow, sectarian spirit, be permitted to dictate to the many.

Ohicago should open the fair on Sunday if that is the wish of the majority. A Secular Age. Tho prohibitionists, through their local organization, are urging the ministers of the various churches to make a concerted niove mentand take a united stand against "the rum power." Tho ministers as a body are unlikely to do so. A considerable number of them are correct judges of wines and liquors and partake of them in moderation on suitable occasions. Others who are logical men know that prohibition not only fails to accomplish the reforms it desires, but aggravates the evils it seeks to oppose.

Beside, since the catastrophe which overtook tho ministers' league, in New York city, last year, the clergy are nowhere inclined, as clergy, to plunge into issues which concern political government. An inventory of influence is not taken twice, when the first inventory yields unsatisfying results. Moreover, the financial question is a deal more important for churches than the prohibition question can just now be said to be. A growing demand for the holding of church enterprises to business principles discourages tho dissipation of their influence by crusade3 of the kind to which tho prohibitionists invite them. Then, too, instead of appealing to tho pulpits, tho prohibitionists should address the pews.

Tho pews run tho pulpits, as really and as truly as the world makes the churches keep tho peace. Tho debt question, not "the rum question," comes much more nearly than any other contemporary one to the business and to tho bosoms of a paid priesthood. UIara.tt.lt v. It is difficult to tell whether Mme. Blavat sky, tho high priest of theosophy, is dead or not, for according to Mr.

W. Q. Judge, president of the Theosophical society, who, by the way. lives in Brooklyn, she may turn up at any time. Mr.

Judge speaks learnedly of the "astral body" as distinguished from the "mortal body." Had not Mme. Blavatsky died three weeks ago and been cremated, it i3 quite possible that Mr. Judge would have projected his "astral body" across the Atlantic for tho purpose of sympathizing with tho mourners, but he frankly admits that the chances would have been against it. As matters stand, he does not know what will become of Blavatsky's "astral body." "It may dissipate," he says, "or it may take up another human tonement." From a close and precise understanding of Blavatsky Mr. Judge ventures the opinion that if her "astral body" should take up anothor human tenement it would be in her power or in tho power of the "astral body" to control the personality of that human tenement.

All of wliivkwill swukI jery stwge iojplain going, graph winch is as follows: "In Albany, for instance, tho general telephone system has been Practically paralyzed for fullv one half of tho winter by damage to its wires from the powerful current of the trolley wires they have come into contact with, whilo electric cars havo broken down time and again." On the 7th of Pebruary a snow storm began in Albany which "paralyzed" the telephone syatem and I think I cannot do better than to give you a copy of a card written for publication on tho tollowing Monday: "To the public The snow storm which begun Saturday afternoon about o'clocl; weighted tbo wires of the tolephono company, lire alarm telegraph and other wires used for transmission of electric currents to such a degree that many ot them, and tho supports to which they were attached gave way iu many streets and seriously interfered with the passage of vehicles. Nuno of the wires, poles or supports ot the Albany railway affected by the storm and wo continued to operate our cars Until Mayor Manning forced us to Bliut off our power, about 10 o'clock, for the reanuu that in his opinion tho running of cars was dangerous because of the l.iniiiiiiout danier of large poles filled with wires tailing on the streets through which the cars run. The telephone company and other companies whose wires were injured had men at work all day yesterday repairing the breaks but were unablo to iiniab. the work. The mayor lias directed us not to run cars until he is satisfied that the streets throngh which our lines run aro free from dangerous peles and wires.

We will be ready to rend our cars out immediately after being notiliud that the streets as clear. "John W. McN'amaba, Feiihuabv 1801. "General Between 10 and 11 o'clock on Monday, February 0, tho mayor decided that the streets wero cleared to such a decree as to safc lv permit the running of our cars, and we began to run. The telephone company after many weeks succeeded in getting their first 700 subscribers connected and were gradually recovering their lines when, on tho night of Anril 2, another sionn similar to that of February 7 visitod Albany and weighted the wires and pules of tlio telephone company to such a degree that they gave wav.

We thought the havoc wrought on February 7 was great, but that ot April exceeded it. Wo continued to operate our cars unlil 8 o'clock on the morning of April when tho railing of wires became so frequent that tho operation became dangerous, and at the request of the general manager of tho tide phone company and tho chief engineer of the lire department wo ceased limning until 1 1 when wu again resumed our trips and have continued uniiilorruuted uver since. ilpsirn iip in the most emphatic manner possible, that at no tune since we began to operate electric cars on April 28, 18U0, down to the present time has our power been off our liues for a period exceeding len minutes, except as above stited. It is truo tkat individu electric cars, like borso cars, some times break down, but, considering the mileage and the rapidity with which tho clectrie car runs, the breaking of axles or wheels is not more irequout than with cars operated by hor.es. Alter tho storm of April 3 tho telcpono com pany were oudeavoring to recover their liues, whou on Monday, April 0, between 12 and 1, lire was disooverod in the tower of tho central office.

There was only one man on duty at the time, and akheu'h the discovery of the lira was timely, he was unable to extinguish it by reason of the inflammable materials used on the wircB tor insulating purposes and the tower and all the wires and cables running into it were destroyed. It is claimed by the telephone company that the current whioh caused the tiro came in oa what was known aa the Abbey wire that ii, tho telephone wire which connected the central office with tho country hotel situated in the town ot Bethlehem, about three miles from State street, known as the Abbey. This wire did not at any point except State street cross any of our trolley wires, and it is conceded by everybody that it did not come in contact with onr trolley wirea in State Btreet. Within half an hour after it waa announced that the lire was caused by the Abbey wire coming in contact with our trolley wire onr linemen and tho liuemen of tho tula phono company went over the lino from State street to Kenwood, tho end of our line, and failed to discover any wire in contact with tho trolley. I dusiro to call your attontion to tho further fact that at no timo Binco wo began to oper ato electric, cara havo our cara beon delayed by the breaking of our wirea or poles, and no person or animal has been killed or injured by our current.

The opposition of our oitizeuB to the introduction of electric cars here was quite ae pronounced perhaps as that which it appears some of your citizens are offering to their introduction iu Brooklyn, but I am confident that if we could take the opinion of our citizens wo would find that tho sentiment waa almost unanimous in favor of tho syitem. The electric car can be operated in Ptrecta and avenues whorover it is possible to opcrato horao curs. Wo have permission to run in parts of the city at the rate of eight miles an hour, and on the outskirts at tho rate of twelve milea an hour. run our cars on Pearl street at the rate of eight milea an hour, aud jnBt twico as rapidly as it was possible to operate with horses. This might not be considered rapid transit in Brooklyn, but it is so regarded hero.

I think I havo covered tho ground intondod by you. but if I havo failed to do so, I shall be glad to supply any omission, if you will indicete what further particulars you desire. Perhaps I ought to add that our men have demonstrated on several occasions that while an electric current of 500 volts pressure ia not a pleasant thing to take, yet when taken it does not destroy life or seriously injure tho recipient. A later note from Mr. McNamara says: My attention has just been called to a clipping from tho Now York Times, in which Captain William Cochran of the Thirteenth regiment Ls represented aa saying that ho had read in tho papers that tho trolley wires in Albany h.

been broken down aud had Bet fire tn tin. inl phono exchange, destroying tlOO.OOO worth of property, i write ior me purpose of Baying that there IB no truth whatever in the statement which the captain read iu the papers. Our wires have never been broken down by snow and I do not believe it ib possible to break them with snow. The day tho Telcphono exchange waa destroyed by Are thero was no snow. The snowstorm which broko down the telephone wires occurred on tho night of tho 2d aud the morning of the of April.

Tho fire which destroyed the Telephone exchange occurred betwoon 12 and 1 o'clock, April 0. Our cars wero operated all day that day and did not misa a trip. By reason of tho lire, however, the cars of the Watervliet turnpike and railroad company, whoso line is on Broadway. were prevented from running. Albany has not naa so ruuon snow any winter witnin my recollection aa it had thia winter: but notwithstanding the great quantity of snow which fell, wu were ablo to run all our cara on schedule time.

When trains on all roads coming into Albany wore four and five hours behind, our cars were running rcguluriy. Complicated Wlllclies Hepnired Skillfully. C. O. Adams Company, Jewelers, 474 Fulton st.

The aldermen's committee on railroads last night heard persons interested in the proposed ordinance to prohibit the running of open cars between September 15 and May 15. It was resolved wisely to give further hearing before reporting, and the matter might as well be continued through the As was pointed out, within a week the spring limitation will have ended and there will be ample time to consider the subject before next autumn. There are some facts which should be kept in view.

1. Some citizens favor open cars. 2. Others are opposed to them. Some want them till tho time.

1. Others want them at certain times. S. Others do not want them at all. 0.

There aro. experts who believe them to be detrimental to health. 7. There are experts who regard them as safer than closed cars. 8.

Manifestly it is impossible by law to answer these various demands or to satisfy the conditions of comfort and wholesomeness. 9. As manifestly the answer and the satisfaction are matters of discretion, depending for its exercise upon immediate and changing circumstances. 10. The employment of this discretion naturally belongs to somebody practically controlling tho operation of the roads able to decide at a moment's notice whether a closed or au open car should run, and to order on or off accordingly.

11. Clearly the only men who can do this are the railroad managers. 12. Unless they are wholly wicked or hopelessly weak they ought to be trusted to act in the premises, because it is to their own interest as well as that of the public that care and common sense shall always control the decision. 13.

Inasmuch as consummate discretion cannot always gratify extreme views, it might be well for the railroad managers to supply a reasonable proportion of closed and open cars and allow passengers in turn to exercise their own discretion as to which theyshallridein. This would seem to be reasonable, but the health officers think otherwise. They appear to heliove that passengers should be denied this discretion and should be cared for against their will as are children, inebriated persons and imbeciles. Dr. Griffin might well bathink him of the words of wisdom of the late bishop of Peterboro', who said that he would rather have Englishmen free than sober, or as it ha been further condensed, "liberty is better than sobriety." Of course the excellent prelate was not in favor of "a carnival of rum," as our prohibition friends would say.

Ho thought that men should bo left to workout their own salvation, that the salvatory process so wrought i3 the only genuine one. Another form of the same sound statement is that the world should not be governed too much. Political discussion has accustomed us to apply this conservative maxim only or chiefly to tho federal administration, but it is just as truo iu respect of a state or a city government. Now, admitting that open cars are a fruitful source of influenza, although capable and honest physicians will say that it is easier to got the grip in a closed car, if a citizen halts betweon the two ho should be allowed to take his choice and the chances. Liberty is better than sobriety.

Liberty is better thau exemption from the late epidemic. Let us not overgovern. A riireatcned Rebellion, Massachusetts was born to kick. Her progenitors were kickers and kicking is, therefore, one of her congenital peculiarities. She kicked as a colony until she kicked loose from the mother country.

Shs kicked during most of the interval between tho con elusion of tho revolutionary war and the federation of the states. She kicked in tho constitutional convention. She kicked when tho Union was formed. She kicked before the new republieau edifice had a chance to demonstrate its fitness as the dwelling of a free peoplo. Once or twice she threatened to kick out altogether and start a little autonomy of her own.

At intervals sho has beon kicking ever since, and when sho dies she won't die happy unless sho has a chance at least to kick the undertaker. For her last exploit as a kicker that true chip of a Massachusetts block, Ben Butler, is responsible. For some reason or other (exactly why nobody has been able to discover) he had a falling out with his honor George M. Carpenter, judge of the United States district court of Massachusetts. The unpleasantness proceeded to such a length that the very presence of the general became intolerable to tho judge.

Accordingly, when tho former recently appeared to argue objections to the sufficiency of the indictment and proceedings in the case of a prisoner convicted of an infamous crime, the court refused to hear the argument and ordered the marshal to eject tho obnoxious advocate. From that moment there was blood on the taee of the Massachusetts moon. The hero of Bermuda Hundred became an incarnation of tho offended dignity of the old Bay commonwealth. Tho "cradle of liberty" rocked to and fro in a breezo of popular indignation. The very frogs on Boston common croaked a protest and Bunker Hill monument was too full for utterance.

Then came Representative Mellen with a portentous preamble and resolution reciting the fact that a federal judge had dared to incarcerate a citizen of Massachusetts without her counsel being allowed to plead defects in the indictment on which the citizen was convicted and sentenced, and directing the attorney general of tho state to inquire into the legality of tho action of the federal court and "to make such report and recommouda tion to tho legislature in thi3 behalf as to law and justico shall appertain." The strict but shallow constructionist of the constitution of tho United States may hold that tho judicial' acts of a fedoral judge lie wholly outside the province of a state attorney general, and that if he pokes his official nose into a matter that doesn't concern him tho only recognition he deserves is to have his official nose punched. But the descendants of tho men of the Mayflower will submit to no such doctrine as that. They do not consent to the neck MassaclaUSfitW As Thai Iesiirnalin. It looks as if there would bo au extra session of the legislature or as if Governor Hill does not intend to qualify as United States senator in time, to take his seat at the beginning of the next session of congress. Then to take his seat would require that he previously resign tho governorship.

Resignation of the governorship would apparently require that tho legislature be in session. The legislature to be iu session before January, 1892, would havo to be convened in special session during the present year. Subdivision 1 of section 3 or title VI of the revised statutes of New York is as follows Resignations shall bo made as follows: 1. By the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, comptroller, treasurer, attorney general, surveyor t'enoral and plate winter, to tho legislature. From the foregoing the Eaot.e infers that there will be a special session of the legislature to enable the governor to resign his present office and assume the United States seuatorship, or that, if there be none, ho may contemplate a third term nomination for governor, the control of the new legislature by the Democrats, a continuance in his present office pending and to promote an effort to get nominated for President of the United States, and the reversion of the senatorsbip to some other Democrat than Smith M.

Weed. ilctwccn the Devil anil the Deep Koa, The committee appointed by the New York Presbytery to investigate the alleged heterodoxy of Professor Briggs havo not been ablo to agree and their failure is a promonition of what is likely to happen when tho subject is brought before the general convention at Detroit. Professor Birch, who is the chairman of the committee and who appears to have had little troublo in coming, to the conclusion that the professor's theology is "off color," drew up a report which presumably ombodiod this opinion. When he read it to his colleagues a majority of them expressed their disapproval of it ami further consideration of the matter was postponed until next Monday. We thus have a clear indication of the strongly marked differences of opinion which tho indictment of the professor promises to disclose.

In the committee appointed by tho Presbytery his supporters seem to be a majority. In the convention at Detroit, so far as we may judge from the action of the Presbyteries, the majority will bo the other way. But in any event he is certain to have a powerful following, and if his expulsion from the chair which ho fills in tho theological seminary is the result of the investigation it is difficult to see how the Presbyterian church can escape a serious division. Anticipating such a danger the advocates of peace and unity will doubtless make an earnest effort to prevent the adoption of any eitreme measures. If thoy succeed tho denomination will incur from the ultra orthodox the reproach of cowardice or be accused of compromising with the agnostic tendencies of the ago.

Tho discussion of tho professor's heretical speech has accordingly placed tho Presbyterian communion in that dilemma which is scripturally defined as being between tho devil and the deep sea. It cannot sanction the doctrine that tho Bible is a fallible record, to be accepted or rejected according to the dictates of reason, and it cannot punish the distinguished theologian who proclaims that doctrine, savo at the risk of ecclesiastical dismemberment. The Troy Sunday Observer, published by State Senator M. F. Collins, argues earnestly in favor of the ordering of an extra session of the legislature by Governor Hill.

It thinks tho labor bills, the world fair bill and many other urgent measures would be passed by the Democratic assembly over again, but it does not show any reasons for believing that the Republican senate would not omit to pass them, as it did at the late session. Clarkson thinks there are two men in tho Republican party abler than Harrison. One of the two men is Blaino aud tho other one modesty forbids Olarkson to mention. From tho qualified greeting which it extends in advance to ox President Cleveland, we do not believe tho editor and owner of tho Buffalo Evening News intends to call upon him on his coming visit to that city. The Italian prime minister, Marquis Ru dini, seems to continue to suffer from ill temper, and Secretary Blaine was constrained, firmly and plainly, though in a dignified way, to correct an excusable mistake mado by Rudini in a note to his representative here, in saying that our foreign department had published without warrant a confidential message.

The secretary shows that the state dispatch of dissatisfaction stood upon the same footing as the rest of the correspondence. The incident provokes nothing more than the observation that Mr. Blaine continues to treat the case, although General Harrison is cm the other side of the continent, just as effectively as when tho President was said to be at his elbow with a blue pencil. All the good legislative things that are done the Albany Argus attributes to the Democratic legislature. All the bad things done it attributes to the Republican senate and all the good things which failed of being done by it aro held by it to reflect blame upon the Kopublican senate.

When contemporaries ask how that can be, a Domocratic legislature of which the senate is Republican tho Argus rejoins that David B. Hill was elected United States senator by the legislature and wants to know "if it was a Republican legislature which elected him?" Thero is a clibp logic efficiency about that inquiry which 'extiu euishes further interrogator! 1.
