House of Representatives has had since Henry

Judgment of both sides of the House and the
graceful expression given to it yesterday by

NAL recognition of what they have for years
admitted.

The vague titlo of Miss Dickinson's lecture
tonight at Stciuway Hall has led to general
impression that it would have reference to the
Brooklyn tragedy. We are advised that it deals
insteal with general-form of social evil. abounds
in plain speaking and has pIOduccd great effect in
other cities. Miss Dickinson is altogether the most
eloqucnt woman speaker we have, and she will bs
welcomed back to the platform from which she has

Not just the person to be at large, we should

described as one "whO pulls revolver and hfas.

shoot ho once tried to shoot himself buta friendly
rib intervened" Three or four times he has been
engaged in stabbng affairs. having done little OF

local newspaper. Very likely and he is Mt the only
maniac of the sort at liberty. The best conducted

Alderman SimOnson deserves thanks for the
resolution Yesterday carried through the
Board instructing the Committee on Streets
to report upon the advisability of forcing the
different telegraph companies to bury their
wires, and stop cumbering the sidewalks with
unsightly telegraph poles. 1t is doubtful if
another city in the world of the size of New
York either does or would permit anything
like the abuse of its streets in which the tele-
graph companies are here indulged. There is
less reason for it here, since the necessities
of our climate make it almost matter of
public safety to have the wires out of the
reach of sleet and snow. Ii the Aldermen
will act promptly there may yet be time to
procure whatever aid from Albany they may
think needful befOre'the adjournment of the

Probably the majority of citizens have not
expected with an impregnable confidence that
the deliberations of the Aldermanlc Commit
tee on Rapid Transit would solve speedily
and satisfactorily the problems which that
much vexed subject presents. Those deliber-
atoms have resulted in two reports. The ma
joIity report favors the building of a rapid
transit road by private capital, if it can be
secured, and by city outlay if capitalists hold
back. An act is proposed to authorize any
cities in the State to provide rapid transit
roads. While this majority report has little
faith IN the prompt efforts of private capital,
the minority report has none at all, and favors
putting the burden of rapid transit directly on
the municipality. The diligent reader of both
reports may incline to the opinion that
Ncw-lOTk Is not much nearer the goal,
toward which there has been so much effort,
than before the Aldermen took up the matter

The closing scenes of the XLIlId Congress

Our report of the work Of the House Com
mittees on Invalid Pensions and Claims shows
that the number of pension cases is constantly
increasing. In the XLIId Congress there were
1895 applications tor pensions, while there
were 1,454 in the XLIiId Congress. The
creation Of a Committee on War Claims has
taken more than one-half of the business from
the docket OF the old Claims Committee, but
the number OF claims before the latter OF the
XLuId Congress was only 159 less than that
before both combined in the XLlId Congress.
All sorts OF ridiculous petitions seem to have
been considered by these Committees, but the
hight of absurdity was reached in the claim
Of physician Tor $4,000 as compensation for
removing 5000 cOrns from the feet of the
soldiers during the Rebellion.

Our London correspondent shows how the
election of Dr.. Kenealy to the British Parlia-
'ment was popular demonstration in favor of
the Tichborne claimant. Dr. Kenealy has
given evidence of some characteristics
which bring him deservedy into dis
credit. But it is very difficult for us to divest
ourselves of the impression that the Lord
Chief-Justice is, to very great extent,
responsible for the sympathy aroused in. favor
of Dr. Kenealy. In the Tichborne trial Sir
Alexander Cockburn frequently showed signs
of strong personal feeling against the claim
ant. It.is not astonishing, therefore, that DR..
Kencaly's constituents should think themselves
called upon to vindicate that right to fair
play to which all Englishmen consider them
selves entitled.

There will be general regret at the decision
Of Judge Robinson in the case of John Taylor
Johnston against the Christopher and Ienth
Street Railway Company. In effect it aiiirms
the right of the railway companies to pile up
snow against tho sidewalks as heretofore.
Doubtless this is good law, or the Judge
would not have SO decided; but 1t Is not
equity, and it ought not to be law. IL tne
courts cannot give redress, we trust that Mr'
Johnston and other public-spirted citizens
will carry the matter to the Legislature, which
can,

Members Of the Emigration Commission make
light of the investigation Of their department
which has been threatened from Albany.
They assert that no real investigation is IN
tended and that the suggestions toward IN
curry are only made for effect. Very sturdy
IN assertion are representatives of the Com
mission, and they boldly challenge the sharpeSt
scrutiny, asserting that in economy and dis
cretion the operations of the Commission have
not been excelled. If equaled, sby those OF any
commission or department in the city. 1t Is
unfortunate that this economy could not keep
the Commission above water financially, and
that the appeal must needs go to Albany for
an appropriation of 100000. and an increase
in the head-mOney.

In the Superior Court yesterday it was de-
cidcd by Chief-Justice Mcneil that street
railway company has perfect right to eject
intoxicated persons from their cars, and that
the company is not responsible for damages
in the event of the fatal injury of person
elected under such circumstances. The Chief
Justice not only dismissed a complaint of this
kind, but warmly commended the conductor
whose act the company defended, On the
ground that conductors should be encouraged
and protected in the exercise of the duty OF
saving passengers from being disturbed or
endangered by the disorderly and improper
behavior of drunken men.

4 RIFLE SHOT.

Every school-boy is familiar with the
story of William Tell, who shot an apple
from off his sons head, at the command
of a tyrant; but we see by our foreign
files that similar feat has been volun-
tarily performed by a reckless father at
Speyer, town situated upon the Rhine,
in Bavaria. 1t seems that weaver, who
is known as the best shot in the district,
where rifle practice is very popular, and
workmanship very highly esteemed, be-
thought himself of browning proof of
his unerring aim. He thereupon led his
son, lad of IL years, to a certain spot,
and paced off seventy yards. Upon the
boys head thus posted he placed an ap-
pie, and retiring with his rifle to the
distance of two hundred and ten feet, he
called upon his friends who had assem-
bled to witness the dangerous and heart
less act to observe that he should cut
the apple in two without harning his
child. He deliberately raised his
weapon, fired and cut the apple In the
midele, leaving the child neither scathed
nor frightened, so confident was the lat
ter in his fathers skill. The heartless
man was then about to repeat the expert
ment, when the police, secretly In
formed, it was said, by the boys mother,
came upon the ground AMI interfered to
prevent the continuance of such dan
gerous experiment, and arrested the
father, imprisoning him for a number OF
days in punishment for his foolhardi
