To the Editor OF the Star:
A division took place in the ranks of the
"Clio Club at their annual meeting for the
election of officers, last Monday evening,
which will be hailed with pleasure by ntrt
of the patrons of the Club. AT the beginning
of thiSseason the Club, through inexperienccs
failed to recognize the necessity of being
extremely careful whom they admitted as
active members. taking all who applied for
membership, if they were gentlemen OF good
social anding, regardless of their dramatic
ability. The consequence was, the majority
of the Club soon came to be men
with strong desire to play, but with little
or no talent. The Stage Manager, Mr..
Baldrdge, was patiSnt under these very
trying circumstances, and endeayored to dc
justice and give satisfaction to all; all the
older members of the Club, with but one or
two exceptions, giving him their hearty
concurrence. But deeming it impossible to
run the Club next year to the satisfaction
of its patrons with inexperienced men in
the majority, the following ladies and gen
tlemen have reorganiZed the Club under the
same name-Clio Dramatic Club--a copy
right for which name has been applied 10
D. J. Baldrdge, Miss Marsh,
H. A. Antram, Miss Scudder,
u. NJ. Roberts, Miss Packard,
D. T. Ferlell, Miss Crow
H. C. Clabby Miss Gano,

ST. George Best Mrs. st. George Best
Percy Brooke, Mrs. NJ. +. Rogers.
The newly y-organized Club will give tire
same number of performances as is specified
in the certificates now in circulation. All
the specifications of the already published
certificates will be strictly adhered to, with
one important exception, viz, three per-
sons instead of two will be admitted on one
season ticket

significance.
Ofnl the Republican States, no other was
regarded ~ 80 fixed in It. allegiance as the
State Of Maine. There the Republican ma

it safe for him to goand make speeches else

The money question has played its part
IN this surprising d,RoUcm0M But this Is
not the main power which has overthrow

Uptown Tenement Houses.

The recent fall OF the unfinished building
on the southeast corner of Broadway aud
Fifty-third street has, in a forcblc manner,
called the attention of the public 10 the poor
work Of some builders in this city. The
roof was on. the floors laid throughout, and
nearly all the interior woodwork completed
when the building fell. As usual, nobody is
to blame. Mr.. ADAMS. the Superintendent
Of the Building Department, said the build
ing was erected in accordance with the
building laws. No doubt some very excel
lent reason will Ice found or given why
four-story building one Of Il group OF seven,
should suddenly fall to the ground in this
mysterious manner.
II bchoovos the proper authorities to
watch with close attention the operations OF
certain speculative builders now actively
engaged in anufacturing su-calied apart
ment houses on the east side and south OF
Yorkvllle. These Structures built in the
most llimsy manner, are simply second or
third class tcnrmcuts. This sort Of tcnc-
ment house, which is permitted by law
and which being cheapest 10 build
and most profitable to own is more CONF
monty built il II tenement house unit TO be-
occupied. Still, however, whore the law is
strictly complied with, it will not fall to the
ground except under very great provocat!on.
Thrcc-quartcr- Of the people Of this city
live in tenement houses. For the most
part the new trncmcnts now being erected
are the production Of speculative builders,
whose interests lie in the direction Of
sighting their work in every manner
With few exceptions, they have no capital
and little credit. Lots are bought with
building loans. I'm only too many cases tho
builder puts In l- pocket n portion Of the
loan intended for the erection ~ the houses,
and covers the ground with worthless build
iugs. Llth and plaster are made 10 hide a
multitude Of shortcomings. We have at va
riou- times called the attention of the pub
lic to this question, During the coming
w'n'"i and spring the operations Of such
builders promise, owing to the accom-
pl'-hmont Of rapid transit, be more active
tlan over before.
Aside from the humanitarian aspects OF
the case, n a simple matter Of safety and
| municipal economy, We are Of opinion that
! tho time has come when radical change
| from our existing building methods ought
| to be enforced Other classes If the com.
munity have right, as we'll rs the owners Of
these tenement houses; and among these

Another Argument in Favor Of Civil

The Maine election supplies new argu-
mcnt in favor of civil service reform. II
shows that United States officers can do no
good. but only harm, in going away from

tcrfering with elections in other States.

A Proposed Extra Session of Congress.

On the fourth Of March next the Demo-
Gratis, for the first time in eighteen years,

The Republicans have lost senators in AID
bama, Arkansas, California, Florida. OHIO
Oregon and South Carolina. which deducted
from their present strength would leave
them tLrty-two, and which added to the
thirty-six Democrats would give that party
fort y-threc, or eleven majority, a. above
stated.
Tie Republicans have not made a single
gain IN any quarter. The seats If BARNUM
Of Connecticut and VOORHEES, OF Indiana
may be classe ~ doubtful with the chances

Republicans are able to retain their whole
strength, after deductng the admitted
losses, the Democratic majority on the
fourth Of March would fall to seven. But
four Republican seats belonging to Illinois,
put In jcopa rdy By the lew movement, and
the balance Of power in three of these States
is likely to be held by the Nationals, who in
that event may dictate the Senators to be

Mr.. Cornell will resume their old places in the
New York Custom House. under the provisions
Of tho tenurcOf- office act. In the DISGUISE ion OF
that subject Mr.. Conklng will be forced to de-
fine hts attitude toward Hayes. and as he looks
confidently forward to the restoration Ofhis New
York friends. he does not wish to he hamporcd
with any obligations TO the Administration
clique in this Stute, for he would certainly lose
their support then, even II ho gained IL now.
He takes his stand therefore rs an opponent
Of Haycsism and is willing to abide tn. cOns"-
qucnjcs. But us understand 1t. he docs not
think that any resolution on the subject OF
Hayes would be necessary or desirable in the
coming Convention. His wishes in this. Hs in
most other matters arc likely to control the
action Of the majority Of the delegates.
II appears then-if Mr.. Conkling's friends
interpret public opinion corrcctlv-thut moro
than twO-thrls 81 the Republican party in the
STATE of New York are hostile To- Hayes Tat n
resolution conforming him and his various
policies would meet with general approval that
1t will be withheld. II 1t is withheld ut all on the
ground that it tends tO divert attention from
w"ightirr matters and that under no circum-
staurcs will the coming Convention do ANYTHING
that eau los tortured into an approval Of the
Fraudulent Administration Further. II APP
peur- that Mr. Conkling has no iavors 10 ask II
the Hayes faction. and that he will take W the

na'ly il appears that all things whatsoever that
~ done will be- done IN the abused name Of
