years, that he came to his death on the

Miss MARY HOOVER, who edits the
Bellsire Commercial, antagonizes the
Women's Crusade. The women, are
thought by some people, to naturally an
tagonize each other; that Is 10 say, they
will praise in men what they condemn in
women, and the severest critics in the
world of women are generally supposed
TO be women themselves. Their mag
nanimity and iorbearance towards men is
said to be immense, while towards women
it is not so immense. This may or may
not explain, even in part, why Miss MARY
is down on her crussding sisters. At all
events, be the animus what 1t may, she is
down on them. She calls attention to
the Social Evil" an evil, she says, "thst
has damned more souls than there are
drops TO be found in the oceans OF alco.
holic stimulants which have been made
since tho days when our Savior himself
turned water into wine" We think that
Miss MARY has drawn 1t pretty. strong in
making such al assertion as this, and we
respectfully suggest that she give us the
figures in her next weeks paper. We in.
cline to think better Of the world, and es.
peciallY ot womankind, than this assertion
Of hers would allow us were we to adopt
it. We really cannot bring ourselves to
coincide with her.

The Republican Press on the Con.
necIIcut Election.

The Republican press in all sections o.
the country Is outspokeD in its oriticisms
on the course Of It's representatives at
Washington. The Boston GIo6s thus
speaks of the result in Connecticut
1.-THE Republican vote has fallen of
from various causes, chief among which
are apathy and disafftcIion, occasioned by
mismsnagement at Washington, while
the Democrats have displayed full
strength. The latter have won on &C.
count OF the weakness and decentralization
of their opponents, rather than increased
popular confidence In themselves: II is
not that the people love the Democrats
more, but the Republicans less, that the
tide in political affairs apparently shows
8 retiring ebb. The principles which the
Republicans profess to hold still COM
mand the adherence Of q majority Of our
people, without doubt, and they have
temporarily lost confidence In the practi-
cal management Of affairs by the official
exponents ol that party, and have no way
Of expressing their protest except by
Withholding their support. 1t Is certain
that that support will be withdrawn
throughout the country unless something
Is done to show that 1t is still deserved.
Corruptions in the collection and disburse.
ment OF the revenue, the appointment oil
Inefficient and unworthy men to Office
and general mismanagement oil afFairs, can
have no other effect than to overwhelm
In ruin the party that is responsible for
them. Until these matters are reformed
altogether, the Republican party cannot
hope to retain the confidence OF the peo-
pie; and that confidence Withdrawn, It
has nothing to do but surrender to the
enemy. But the victory cannot remain
long in the hands Of a party which has
hadno living n1ission Tor half q generation.
The work Of the future cannot be per-
formed by party Of the past. Ii the
Republicans under the present organiza-
ton show themselves unequal to that task
the people will combine anew to carry 1t
on. It must be done, and there must be
an organization Of the enlightened and
the honest portion OF the citizens to carry
Il on"

Irish Ladies'.

Physically, Irish women (says writer
are probably the finest race in the world
I mean taller, better limbed and chested,
larger eyed, and with more luxuriant hair,
and freer action than any other nation
have observed. The Phonicisn and
Spanish blood which has run hundreds OF
years in their veins still klndles It's dark
fire in their eyes, and with the vivacity Of
the Northern mind and the bright color
oil the Northern skin, these Southern
qualities mingle In most admirable and
superb harmony. The idea we form Of
Italian and Grecian beauty Is never re-
allied In Greece and Italy; but we find
It in ireland, heightened and exceeded.
Cheeks and lips Of the delicacy and bright
tint Of carnation, with snowy teeth and

united, fall very commonly TO the share
Of the fair Milesian. Modest 10 proverb,
the Irishwoman Is as unsuspecting oi an

him to the Governor, who referred the

THE rent question is one OF peculiar
interest at this season. Prices in New
York, VIC are told, will lie much less than
formerly for houses which have rented
for more than $4,000, owing TO the reduc.
tion OF large incomes and the necessity of
prudence in expenditure. For houses
which have rented for from g, ,5O0to s..
600 year, there has been in some cases a
reduction of ten per cent, though rates in
this class are not definitely fixed. For
houses Of moderate price, renting from
$1,000 to $500 a year, the demand Is
greater than the supply. People in the
immediate vicinity OF Filth avenue are
going farther east and west 10 secure
more reasonable accommodations, and
Brooklyn and the suburban towns Of New
Jersey and Westchester county seem to
be proftiug by the economical tendencies
Of the hemetropolis. :

TIE SALE OF IMPURE MEAr,-A re-
markably large seizure ol impure meat
offered for sale In New York was made a
few days ago. Eighty carcasses OF
calves were pronounced unfit for food,
They were to have been sold from shops
in the poorer quarters Of the city, where
between poverty and lack Of knowledge
purchasers Of such meat could be found.
There are so many facilities for evOding
detection that the extent 10 which the
sale Of impure meat is or may be carried
cannot be estimated. Il has been sug-
gested that the most effective way oi
dealing with this dangerous business
would be to require all meat to be sold
in market under inspection. This, besides
being an Inconvenience TO the buyers,
would Interfere with the established busi'
ness Of honest dealers, and punish alike
the innocent and guilty dealers and the
sufferers from the sale OF diseased meat.
Instead OF frequent fines and seizures as q
punishment for such sales, the habltual
dealer In health'destroying food Of all
kinds should be tried In criminal court
for an offence made punishable by i'm.
prisonment. A deliberate assault upon
the health Of Q community from ayari-
cious motives 10 certainly no less criminal
than an assault upon an individual ior
the purpose ot robbery.

WHEELING s. LAKE ERIE RAILROAD.
We saw yesterday proof sheet Of the
first mortgage seven per cent bonds that
this company ore getting up. They are
not unlike the tive'twentY bonds Of the
Government, and the coupons arc payable
semi.annually either in London or New
York, thatis, eilherin sterling money or in
United States gold coin. The last coupon
is payable on the 1st day oil May, 1904,
the bond having thirty years to run from
the first OF next month. Each coupon
calls for $S5 gold or e. sterling, and the
first one reads as follows:.
"The Wheeling and Lake Eric Rail-
road Company will pay to bearer at their
office or agency in the city Of New York,
thirty five dollars in U, s. Gold Coin, or,
at his option, Seven Pounds Sterling, at
its agency in the city Of London, in case
the Bond Is so registered on the lst Of
Nov, 1874, Tor six months interest on
Bond"
These coupons are signed by R. e.
COCHRAN, Esq. The bonds to which they
are attached represent loan Of 81. $780,.
600, which loan is payablelprincipal and
interest fec Of United States taxes. The
trustees for the bondholders are the Farm.
ers Loan and Trust Company Of New
York.
In looking over this nicely gotten up
bond, we can not help wondering what
its history will be before 1t runs It's ca
reer. All railroad bonds have history,
and doubtless these Of the Wheeling &
Lake Erie Road will have theirs, especi.
ally as they are convertible bonds, that is
bonds convertible into the capital stock
of the road at the pleasure Of the holders
At tho outset OF their career they will lie
very quiet in the strong boxes Of the cap
italists TO whom Mr.. Stanley, the contrac'
tor Of the road, will sell them. There
will be no temptation to convert them
into the stock oI the road Tor some time to
