The Indications are that in many OF our
large cities mucn suffering will ensue this
winter from lack of work for the Iaboring
classes. In Baltimore the unemployed work
1ngmen, following the example recently set
In Montreal, are moving to obtain relief
from the city authorities. In Montreal, il
will be remem bered. the authorities finally
agreed TO give employment to as many men
as possible on the public works, at the small
sum of sixty cents per day. As small as this
Is, il ought 10 be sufficient to at least furnish
food and shelter during the winter to those
employed and their families. In Boston the
authorities, anticipating great distress
among the poor, have decided to offer To all
citizens having families dependent upon
Them and having no employment, an OppOr-
fuDity to work upon the streets OF the out
lying districts at the uniform rate of II a
day. By tins means they hope to enable the
honest and industrious poor to earn the fool
which they require for their families, and
avoid the demOraliziug effect of being com
PEELED To class themselves with the pauDerS
of the city.

THE DEFEAT OF SENATOR CAHPESTEa-THE COLI
WINTER AND CONCEALED hrIRIrs.
BARAnoo, Wisconsin. Feb 10.
Since my last communication the Senatorial
contest in this State was decided by the election
All honest and consistent Republican Senate,
Carpenter claims that his defeat was owing te
Railroad combination and other side issues, his
friends al-o attribute dishonest motives to the
"bolting Republicans" when in fact they merely
adhered to the following resolution adopted by
the last Republican State Convention
"ResOiced, That we disapprove and condemn
the recent measure by which Congress allowed
additional compensation to itself for past ser.
vice, and demand that the provisions OF that act
by which Congressional salaries were increased,
shall be promptly and Internationally repealed. "
The above was the rock upon which Mr. Car
penter struck and went down. The eighteen
boilers $50 called were true to their party
pledge, and constituencies, while others ealally
pledged forgot both. II the reelection OF Mr.,
Carpenter had been left to a vote OF the people,
no explanatory speeches from politicians on eli
Their side would have been necessary, for his de.
feat would have been political Waterloo. We
hope TO find our new Senator representing
his State in satisfactory manner
The uniformly cold weather of January and
February is almost unprecedented, twenty to
thirty degrees below zero being comparatively
mild weather. On several occasions the mercn

The Water Department subscription
In Aid OF lAe Poor.

The absurd and puerile business which has 80
largely occupied the attention Of the City Coun-
Gil for several weeks came to conclusion Friday
evening, with the adoption Of a resolution which
mildly disapproves the course Of Chief Engineer
Hyde, while acaultting linn Of any improper in
tent This is the ridiculous end Of prolonged
effort to ipjure Mr.. Hyde in the estimation of
the public, and to lay the foundation for reso-
luton removing him from the position he holds.
The result must be profoundly disappointing to
that purpose, while the progress OF the so-caed
| investigation" and OF the discussions in Coun-
has only served to show the community the que.
rifle character Of the whole proceeding.
As a matter of strict proprlety, perhaps it is
best that no one experimenting the city's worl,
| should ask the employees placed under him for
subscriptions to any fund. The fear that refusal
might cause his displeasure might induce some
TO subscribe against their actual desire and
judgment. II the movement in Council had
simply been to declare this principle, as
q measure Of public policy, there would
have been no good ground for opposition. But,
As we have already raid, the effort
was not to serve the public good nut to break
down Mr.. Hyde, and damage Mr.. Candy, and
the whole ridiculous paraphe rnalia Of a commit
tee of Investigation, sitting secretly, and con-
Quoting an elaborate examination OF witnesses,
was designed to produce those results. Such
proceedings are to be deprecated they bring
discredt on the City Council; they aggravate diff
ferences which it is the part of wisdom to heal /;
and they eau have no other end 30 far as public
opinion il concerned, but that Of general con-

The Dresses Mt the Halls-Silks aMs
SnliMs for Misses.


During the recent season OF festivities, ended
by tile coming in OF Lent, those who attended
any OF the fashionable balls in our great cities or
even those WHO at distance RECALLED themselves
with reading tile descriptions of the costumes
worn thereat must have noticed how generally,
in the dresses Of even very young ladies' the
transparent white fabrics which were formerly
the orthodox costume for youthful beauties have
given place to those thicker and costlier robes
which were once exclusively appropriated to
matronly use. Misses Blank and Asterisk are
no longer reported US shining in pulled tulle
and tiounced gauze, but in canary or manve or
tea-rose colorel silks shining garments gor-
geous to behold, and OF such cost as must make
pater familias trenbe at the announcement OF
''another Charity Ball."
This last phase Of the subject may be objec-
tionable to tile blil-payers, but the hygienic phi
lanthropist sees signs Of cheer in such q dress
revolution. The change from thin to thick, from
maidenly elegance to matronly sumptuousness,
is, We do believe, mainly due to the sensible
ten of wearing warm merino underclothing,
which nccessitates opaque dresses to cover those
praireworlhy garments.
And by the way, those moralists who are con.
tinually urging return to the sensible fash.
ions OF our grandmothers" should remember
that in the youth Of those estimable ladies, say
the years Immediately succeeding the French
Revolution, white muslin, short sleeves and pa
per soled slippers were the standard apparel Of
fashionable young ladies in winter as well as
summer, at home and abroad.
