We are on the eve Of the new
planting season, and 1t becomes an
Important question a. to what and
how to plant The experience Of the
past two or three years has not been
quite favorable to fruit growing as .
whole, but this, instead cleansing with.
drawal from the occupation, should
stimulate to greater exerdon, deeper
inquiry, more intelligent culture, and
more economical management.
Among the first items to be con-
sidered il that of ec0nomy-but that
not In the way of purchasing cheap
trees and putting them into the ground
in hurried, slOvenly manner. We
advise to get the very best stock, II 1t
costs very much more; entirely reliable
in quality, and, above all, reliable
in preparation to the soil; 1t Is 30
very much easier to get the soil into
good filth before trees or any other
crop is planted than after they occupy
the ground, as then they run the risk
Of sustaining injury, as well as render
the subsequent culture much more
difficult and Inefficient. f,.3.
As to varieties for purely market
purposes, depend mostly on winter
sorts; and in these, size, color and
feeping must be kept much more
prominently before the mind than quail
ity. 1t is unwise to have many varie-
ties. A hundred trees of one variety
are generally much more profitable
than ten trees each Of ten varieties.
Again, calculate to have your apples
ready for market early In the winter,

THE idea OF respectable employ.
ment" is the rock upon which
thousands split and shipwreck them
selves and all who depend on them.
All employments are respectable that
bring honest gains. The laborer ~ho
is willing to turn his hand to any,
thing is as respectable as the clerk or
store-tender. Indeed, the man who
is ready to work whenever work of.
fers, whatever it may be, rather than
lie idle and beg, is far more resectable
than the one who turns up his nose at
hard labor, worries his friends with
his complaints because he has nothing
to do, pockets their benefactions with
out thankfulness, and goes on from
day to day a useless lazy grumbler.

Phoebe Cary, at the time of her
death, was at the head of a movement
for the establishment of "Woman,s
Dress Guild" similar to the one in
stituted in England. The plan has
been taken up by other influential
women of Boston, and the following
are some of the rules of the proposed
association: To purchase for cash
only; to buy nothing which is not
wanted merely because it is cheap !;
to dress in a manner becoming the
station in life; to pay proper Difference
to the tastes and pecuniary ability Of
heads Of families; to wear no false
jewellery, false hair, pads, &C., to
avoid all exaggerations even if called
fashionable, and all unseemliness in

DIRTY STREETS.
brought.

IL is always in order to complain that the
streets are dirtier now than ever before, and
the cry has become so common that contractors
have grown needless of it. Various circum-
stances, however warrant the cry in earnest
just now, and Mr.. Brown indeed appears hope
fully affected by it. The Health Board, on
Thursday, declared that the filth of the streets
invited epidemic; the Street Commissioners
declare the work of the contractor unfulhlled,
and talk of repudiating the contract. The fact
that the streets are uncommonly dirty is unde-
niable and very deplorable, but it seems to us
that the city authorities are not going to work
exactly in the proper way to remedy the evil.
Neither denunciation Of the contractor by this
Board nor reputation of the contract by that
will relieve us Of nuisance which, in a few
days more of hot weather, may become an
alarming danger.
Our municipal rulers, who appear to be in a
muddle on this question, may find remedy
for the trouble by rejecting on the manner
in which we have gotten into it. An un-
usually hard Winter, with much snow and
ice, left the streets in many localities almost
impossible. This was a natural cause, which,
to be sure prevailed in former years, but
there was remedy then which was missing
last Winter. Under the mysterious system of
Tammany rule it was held that the streets
could not be cleaned in Winter, and the con-
tract of Mr.. Brown, made with Tweed, re-
quires that the work be done only from April
to October. But under Tammany provision
was made j" for the removal OF ice and snow"
as it formed and FELL of course at additional
expense. One result of the disruption which
of necessity followed Reform was that no pro-
vision was made for this work. and Con-
tractor Brown, going to work on April 1, found
he had to remove all of Winters accumu-
lation of dirt which the sun had left.
Further confusion Of municipal affairs lett
Brown without inspection either by the Police
or Health Board, so that it is highly probable
he did not do his work as thoroughly as he might
have done it; and he was left also without pay
so that it is Just as probable as not that he
had neither means nor credit to continue the
little work he was doing. And here lies, after
all, the secret of the whole difficulty. No con-
tractor need be expected to do his work
thoroughly and promptly without being watched,
and cannot in reason he required 10 do IL with-
out being paid 1t is of less consequence really
what amount is paid for clean streets than
that we get them. Citizens would no more be-
grudge the money paid for keeping the streets
clean than they do for Identifying and main
tanning Central Park, if only The work were
thoroughly done. Street cleaning Is

RAPID 7RlNSIT-AGAIN.

Another step has been taken in the Legisla-
t,lre toward giving rapid and economical
means of transit to the City Of New-YOrk.
The Senate, yesterday, took up and passed tho
Gilbert Elevated Railway scheme. which
was passed by the Assembly last
month. This bill, which provides
for the incorporation of company
with a capital Of sS,5OO,OOO, permits the con-
struction of double-track railway, elevated
on iron arches spreading across the street
from curb to curb. The route of the line il
not yet determined upon; it is to be fixed by
Commission, and must be west of Sixth
ave. or east of Third-ave.; the motive power
may be steam or compressed air. The
Senate attempted yesterday to pass the
Beach Pneumatic bill over the Governors
veto, but failed. The Swain Three-Tier and the
Vanderbilt bills have passed both Houses, but
have not yet been signed by the Governor
The Central Underground has passed the
Assembly but yet hangs In the Senate 30
that ont of the numerous schemes brought
before the Legislature in the opening of the
session, only three have reached anything
like maturity-the Gilbert Elevated, the Van
derbilt, and theSSwain ThreeTier. Of these.
not one, so far as heard from, has received
the approval Of the Governor.
The Beach Pneumatic bill was vetoed by
the Governor on the ground that its provisions
conflicted with the privileges granted to tho
Central Underground in 1868. The Wander
bilt bill, pending at the time the veto was re.
ceived, was amended In order to meet the
Governors objections to the Beach bill; so the
equities of the case, if they are worth consd-
Grafton at all, point to the passage Of the Cen
trail Underground scheme. Out of all tho
schemes we ought to get something. If even
on this universally admitted public want, this
universally pressed public demand, the Reform
Legislature fails us, its epitaph may as well
be writterfiin advance.

sanitary. not q financial measure, the cost Of
which ought not to be considered primarily
and it is one for the supervision of the
Health and Police Boards, nos' the considera-
ton of the Controller or Common Council or
a nOndescrpt Board Of Street Commissioners,
invented solely to manufacture offices. The
responsibility for the street cleaning has been
too long divided among great many officials,
and the inspection has never been az lax az
now. If we are to have clean streets, we must
pay well and be hard taskmasters.
As to the present emergency, the positively
dangerous condition of the streets demands
immediate action. Browns men are in revolt
for lack of pay, and any day the work the
contractor is doing may stop. The Street
Commissioners and their lawyers debate the
right to cancel the contract, which more than
ever ought to be rigidly enforced or at once
repudiated. What should be done at this time
is to take all such laborers from the Public
W0rks and Parks as can be spared, and put
them upon the streets. Legislate and adjudi-
cate with Brown when the danger is over. In
an emergency such as now presents itself, this
is what a strong Government having the gen
eral safety at heart would do without hesita-
tion or calculation of the nicer proprieties OF
the art

Oneida, which has not increased 5000 in popu-
lation since the apportionment based on the
census of 1860 was made, still constitutes one
Congress District, while the Districts which
contain the great centers of population are
shuffed about with no other purpose
apparently than to see how much they
can bear in the way Of unjust apportion-
ment The State ratio OF represent
alton is about $4,000; yet the rural Districts,
more slowly increasing in population than
those which are contiguous to cities, are kept
in their position as entitled to one Represent
alive on the old basis of representation. For
instance. the XIlth District, made up OF
Orange and Sullivan, has population of only
1t5, ,452, while the XIth, comprising Westchester,
Roekand, and Putnam, with 11,981 popu-
lation, is obliged to suffer this patent disparity.
And everybody knows that Westchester, which
has 131 ,948 of the numerical strength OF the
XIth District, to-day, outnumbering either
of the XIIth and XIIIth Districts, will prob
ably, before another AppOrtiOnment can pos
sbly be made, have population nearly double
that of some of the existing single Districts.
These instances can be multiplied indef-
nitely, and, added to the injustice OF the
divisions made by the Legislature, the
cases of inharmonious arrangement are
exasperatngly numerous Counties with no
natural affiliation or community of interest with
their partners in the Congress Apportionment
are huddled together by an arbitrary act which
can only be excused on the ground of lgnor-
ance or imbecility. 1t Is not possible that the
Joint Committee on Federal Relations could
have for moment considered that Rockland
and Orange might have some ties OF interest
and intercommunication, while Rockiand
and Westchester have none at all.
Yet they have managed to jumble together
the two last-named, leaving Orange and Sui
liyan united. The Apportionment is thor
oughly and entirely bad; we needed an ad-
iustment, in order to correct the inequalities
which have increased with the changes OF
population and the movements of social cur
rents. We have obtained only an aggrava-
ton of existing evils and promise that they
shall be made more determinate as years
elapse with the lines of arbitrary division left
as they are. The work is that of the party
in power in the Legislature, done in the
interest Of a few Congressman who are bound
to retain their seats though the people may
be abused and misrepresented 1t is not sus-
ceptibe of justification or defense, and must
always be classed as one of the most foolish
and unfair acts of this Reform Legislature.

GRRRYMhNDFRING

The so-called redistricting of the State,
which has just been accomplished by the Leg
islature, despite the Governors veto, is un-
worthy any other epithet than that of gerry
Wandering. 1t is not made in the interests of
justice, nor even in Difference to any popular
demand, but arbitrarily with reference to the
wishes of politicians. The disparity in the
population of some of the districts,
great as it is, is bound to be greater
each year and yet the Legislature, utterly
dsregarding these inevitable consequences,
has not only peIpetuated existing injustice, but
in many instances has aggravated it, Now

A LAST RELIC OF TAMMANY MISRULE.

n
The Judiciary Committee of the Assembly
has been moved by the urgency Of appeals by
the Bar Association, the Council of Political
Reform, and of the newspapers, to make the
long deferred bill reorganizing the Police
Courts of this city special order for an
early day, and there is some hope that action
may be had upon this important measure OF
reform. We give in other columns some par
ticulars of the progress of the bill and expiana-
tons of the peculiar abuses which it is in
tended to correct.
The simple truth of this matter is that the
Board of Police Justices is the strongest and
almost the sole remaining power of the late
Tammany Ring. The Treasury has been rescued
from them, and the principal departments OF
the City Government are in the hands OF men
who, even if disposed to do wrong cannot, by
reason of their differences Of opinion and po-
ltical affiliations, be formed into a corrupt
Ring like that we have lately destroyed. The
Police force itself needs reorganization and re-
dsciplining, but that will come when the new
Charter reforms the whole municipal admins
tration. The removal of the present Police
Justices with Tammany affiliations is part of
the Judiciary reform already signalized by the
resignation of CardozO and the impeachment
of Barnard, and not to be provided for In
charter. How needful that that reform should
be thorough we have repeatedly pointed out,
and cannot too urgently impress upon the leg
islators before whom the bill ought soon to be
