injunction restraining the father Of sick
child from rolling baby carriage over the
floor Of his rooms during the night, to the
annoyance of the ledger in the floor below.
The answer to the prayer for permanent
injunction was that the infant occupant of
the Objectionable perambulator is suffering
from teething and other ills that juvenile
humanity is heir to; that 1t has an uncon-
querable aversion to q crib, and that to
give ease TO the little sufferer and pre-
vent it from crying and tretting all

the soothing motion of which it has grown
accustomed The Court decides that man
who lives in hotel or fat cannot expect
all the peace and comfort ho gets, or at least
has right (if he has no mother-in-law) to
look for, in house of which he is lord and
master and sole occupant For instance, q
hotel boarder must submit to being some
times awakened by the heavy tread of other
guests who keep late hours and stumble on

PEELED to walk his room oil night in pain
cannot invoke the power of the law to COM
pei the sufferer to wear rubbers. SO the
baby carriage injunction is dissolved.
We congratulate the baby. Without in
dorsing its peculiar habits, which must be
more annoying to its mother and nurse than
to the downstairs ledger, we insist that its
right to go to sleep In baby carriage is in
controvertible. 1t is q free born American
baby, and is entitled to the protection Of
the constitution and the laws. After abol-
ishing negro servitude shall we deny the
right of white baby to be lulled to sleep in
such manner as it may please? We trust
not. In the name of the mothers, fathers
and teething children OF New York we con-
gratulate Judge Won Hoesen on his decision,
and wish the nocturnal perambulating in

We reprint this morning from the columns
of our esteemed contemporary. the Times.
a very instructive article on the several
routes open to expeditions sent out for the
exploration of the Polar regions. 1t has
been demonstrated by the failures that have
invariably attended attempts to reach the
Pole by the Smiths Sound route that, al
though apparently the most direct, 1t is
the most difficult one to follow, and that
obstacles which have been pronounced
by the leaders of the last English
expedition to be insurm ountable bar the
way northward from Robson Channel.
The two routes to the Pole which remain
open to explorers are respectively hat via
Behring Straits and that by Spitzbergen.
The irst is essentially an American route,
while the second must be regarded as
European one. The expedition now In
course Of preparation as we'll as that
already on it's mission of discovery,
have for their objects the advancement
of geographical knowl edge and general
science and also the development of COM
mercial facilities by the exploration OF
regions as yet unknown in connection with
these great interests. The Swedish expe-
dition, under the command of the cele-
brated and indefatigabe Professor Norden-
skiold, is forcing passage eastward along
the northern COASTS OF the continents OF
Europe and ASIA and will, if successful,
show that more or less practicable route
from Western Europe to Japan and China
may be followed in Arctic waters.
The discovery of the Pole itself, and OF
lands and waters that lie around it, as well
as an investigation OF the geological, botan-
ical and meteorological conditions in the cir.
cumpolar region, will be the objects of the
expedition made up of the Jeanette and
the Dauntess. These vessels, although fol-
lowing different routes, will cooperate in
the effort to accomplish a common purpose
The explorers in the Je9nnette, pushing
northward from Behring Straits and those
of the Dauntless entering the Arctic regions
on Dr. Petermann's favorite route by
East Greenland and Spitzbergen, can hardly
fail, if they simultaneously reach high
latitude, in coming comparatively near and
perhaps within supporting distance ofeach
other. Then again, as the Times suggests,
it is possible that the Vega and the jean
nette may meet in the great sea north Of
Eastern Siberia and thus establish a connec-
ton between the discoveries of both expedi-
tons which would be of immense geo.
graphical value. I'm any event." says
the Times, "the result will be looked
for with interest by the whole world. ;"
Each route proposed has its special merit,
and no comparison can be fairly made I'M
favorable to either, because both penetrate
unknown regions beyond certain ranges of
latitude. AS their adoption for the jean
nette and Dauntless respectively is governed
by very close study of the conditions
known to prevail within the explored areas
in which their southern termini are located,
and as the weight Of testimony as to prac-
ticability is decidedly in their favor, We
feel satisfied that bright prospect Of sue.
cess opens for the expedition.

Satisfaction and good clothes were promi-
nent in San Francisco's Chinatown yester-
day, on the occasion of the public appear
ance OF the Celestial Embassy and the ten
der sensibilities of the hoodlum were rudely
trampled upon and lacerated by the feet
Of barbarians. To realize that lot of heather
who worked for their daily bread could
strut about in silks and satins, while the
Caucasian who dined at free lunch counters
had to polish their customary leaning posts
and corners with second hand clothing only,
must have seemed an absolute proof that
our boosted civilization Is failure. No
member of the Embassy has yet had his
head broken with n stone, which is consid-
cred the proper thing to do with Chinese
skulls on the Pacific coast The prevalence
of monopoly in San Francisco has evidently
infected Mr.. Lot Wing Cook, for he has
kept the Embassy SO closely under his own
wing that prominent Chinese residents are
probably translating Kearney's speeches
against monopoly into dialects of Cathay
and seasoning them with heather profanity
which would make the fortune of an aqita-
tor If he could only master it. Like most
other things that appear in California the
ambassadors seem to be in the hands of the
railroad companies at present; but there is
prospect OF their speedily reaching the
East and becoming their own again, and of
being offered those courtesies which until
now have been supposed to be characteristic
of respectable Americans everywhere.

The Board of Healths prescription of
whiskey for occasional use by babies upon
hot days has provoked considerable differ
ence of opinion, and the views of one set of
the disputants are ably given, over the sig
nature OF 'AIedicus," in another column.
But the physician does not tell the whole
story. The number Of nice, full grown
young men who under such inducements
would claim the protection of the "Baby
act would astonish any one who does not
know the physical delicacy of the average
Young man. To administer weakened
whiskey to these with spoons would oc-
cupy all the time Of all the nurses in the
land during the hot season, and even then
the poor things would not get as much
rs their innocent little natures would crave.
With due respect for the methods of physi-
clans and the better class of nurses, how
ever, we believe the desires and the true
inwardness of the class of babies alluded to
would be more truly gratiied by nurses of
a rather unpopular variety. These have a
rare faculty for administering paregoric and
other narcotics direct from the bottle and
without any dilution whatever. However
fastidious parents and physicians may OBJ
ject to this method, the babies are quoted
by it and the heart of the coffin maker wakes
fat. And if whiskey can be made to quiet
the nice young man and subject him to the
soothing services of undertakers where is
the temperance advocate so unreasonable as
not to make willing exception in his favor?

The EXTENSION of the registration system TO
