mind it would appear that woman who
will kill one man whom once she
loved would not hesitate to dispense
with another in case he did not come
up to her standard of husbands as
they should be. There are vices, however,
that steal and destroy mans reason while
they are apparently stimulating it, and that
to which Bishop confesses has blinded too
many minds otherwise clear to require any
special explanation from us Nothing could
more plainly show the debasing effect which
passion may have upon reason than Bishops
own confession OF his steady intention to
marry Mrs. Cobb, although he knew con-
stantly, according to his own statement,
that she was comporting herself toward her
legal partner in manner which should have
driven even fool away from her.

That "Britisher'' Again.

SO many of our citizens aro disposed to
express their opinion of the "Britisher'
who has so poor an opinion of his own
countrymen and their descendants that we

Of sufficient importance, national or

Struggling for the speakership.

The important feature in the Speakership
contest now going on at Albany is the
reported withdrawal of Mr.. Hustled from
the canvass. If Mr.. Hustled has really
retired there will probably be only two
candidates in the field, Mr.. Alvord and Mr..
Sloan, and in that event the result will be
decided on the first ballot. At the same
time our Albany correspondence shows that
there is strong disposition on the part
of a number of members to take up new
man, and it is believed that the overthrow
of all the present aspirants is not altogether
improbable. The usual wonderful rumors
as to intrigues connected with the Speaker
ship contest are floating about on the
Albany air, and dark designs against Mr..
Conkling and deep plots connected with
the next tenancy OF the Executive Chamber
are discovered at every turn. But the fact
is that the interest in the question,
'Who shall be Speaker" hinges mainly
on the other question, "Who shall
obtain prominent and desirable places on
the standing committees?' and as Mr..
Alvord will make more promises than Mr..
Sloan he appears at present to have the
best Of the fight. There will be no oppo-
sition to Mr.. Conkling's election as United
States Senator. The New York Custom
House controversy has about as much
to do with the Speakership as the dis
posal of the Bulgarian crown, and Mr..
Sloans chances for nomination next
autumn are not sufficiently promising
to render his election as Speaker dangerous
to the numerous other republicans who
have the Governorship bee in their bonnets.
So far as the policy Of the republican party
is concerned it would clearly be wise to set
aside the gentlemen who are SO eager to fill
the Speakers chair and to place new and
unpledged man at the head Of the Assembly.
The election of DR.. Isaac l. Hayes would
give dignity to the Legislature, refute the
charges OF bargains and lobby influence,
and prove that the republican Assemblymen
possess independence and self-respect.

Northwest and on the Pacific coast. Snow has
fallen in the lake regions and over the
Western Gulf coasts: il has been re-
markably heavy in the latter districts The
winds have been from brisk TO high in

has been singularly cold in the Southern States
during the past few days; but yesterday
the increasing winds, accompanied by snow,
rendered il almost unbearablc. the people not
having the facilities for warming the houses
like those of the North. The prospects of clear

very good in that section. as there are ndica-

Let Us Have Patience.

Some of our contemporaries are complain
ing OF the recent delays on the Third Ave-
nue. 81" Railroad aud Of the neglect of
several matters important to the public,
such as the heating of the cars and the
starting of special way station trains dur
ing the crowded hours of the day. Both
the ''L" companies have done so we'll, in
giving US rapid transit considerably in ad-
vance Of the time allowed them by
law to construct their roads, and
in overcoming the many difficulties
naturally surrounding novel and
experimental enterprise, that we have been
disinclined to criticise their omissions too
severely. We cannot expect perfection at
the start, and it is only fair to wait patiently
for accommodations and conveniences that
will no doubt come in good time. The
people were anxious that trains should be
run on both the "L" roads just as soon as
the rails could be laid down, and if the
companies had delayed the opening until
the stations were completed, the full
amount of rolling stock provided aud all
the details in perfect order, they would
have incurred general disapprobation.
There are, nevertheless, some improve
ments that can be made on the Third
avenue line just as we'll now as at future
time and that will afford those who use
that road effective and immediate comfort
and relief Passengers who 60 above
Forty-second street land they form the
great bulk of the traveD are subjected to
annoying delay, while the crowds at the
depots are increased through the constant
running of the. Forty-second street depot
trains Frequently in the busiest hours
of the day two or three Of these
short trains will pass depot in
succession, while hundreds are gather
ing and waiting for through trains.
These Forty-second street trains can be dis
continued at once and train of cars pro-
vided to run up and down constantly be-
tween Third avenue aud the Grand Central
Depot to accommodate the few passengers
who desire to ride the short distance of
three blocks. Mr.. Field has himself sug-
gested how the passengers can reach these
side trains by means of bridge built over
the main track. The pressure during the
busy hours of the day would at once be re-
lieved if all the trains ran through; but it
could be still further eased by the use of
way station trains at points where switches
or pockets are already supplied. The
cars could be and ought to be heated.
The steam pipes are ready and the
delay in using them is unnecessary.
These things Mr.. Field can do at once on
the Third avenue line without much trou-
BILE and without any additional expense. 1t
certainly is undesirable to excite popular
feeling against the IL" railroads at the
commencement Of their careers, or to create
the impression in the minds of the people
that the rapid transit corporations are as
avaricious and unaccommodating as the
horse car companies. We appeal to Mr.
Field to give the people, without delay,
these advantages, so easy to bestow. The
public will be grateful for the favor, and
still more grateful If Mr.. Field will, at the
same time, confer on them the boon of a
uniform five cent rate from the Battery to
