NEW YORK, March 14-The recently re-
newed rumors respecting the health of
Samuel ]. Tilden led a reporter to make in
quiry in regard to him at his residence, No.
Is Gramercy Park, yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Tilden had not been in the city for some days
until yesterday, owing to the bad weather.
Early in the morning he came in from his
Gramercy Park. 1t is stated that he has
never been better during the last four years.
He makes occasional visits to the city when
ever the weather permits. He is very careful
about going out OF doors III damp, disagreea-
BILE weather. He spent several hours in the
city yesterday, received two callers, and re-
turned at an early hour to Greystone.

were entitled, and which the taxpayers are
ready and anxious to give. The bill had
passed both houses, and would have become
a law by the official sanction of Governor
Porter in a day or two. But there was still
the most Infamous political measure pend
ing-the metropolitan police. biil-nd to
put its passage beyond the possibility of a
doubt the Democrats of the House
preparation bill, and held it as a
menace over the head of the Governor.
They received every assurance that the police
bill would meet with no further opposition,
but should be permitted to become a law if
the majority could control the necessary
votes. Yet, in spite of this, by Speaker By
dictates of a party caucus c~ontroNedby the
liquor league and political bummers, the
final consideration and passage of theAppro-
p%riation bill was defeated, while the metro
politan police bill became a law in hatmony
with the repeated assurances of the Rspub-
lican representatives.
Legislation for the regulation of the liquor
traffic was absolutely demanded; the prphibi-
ton sentiment of the State had been formula
ted in a proposed amendment to the c~opstitu-
ton, on which they asked that the people
should be allowed to vote. Without discussing
the legal aspects of the question, Whereby this
and other amendments were defeated, it
is safe to say here, that, after prohibition had
ceased to be au issue, there was a demand
by the conservative and fair-minded people
of the State for a well-gnarded strict license
or local option law. The existing statute
had been VIGOROUSLY inadequate and inoper-
alive. The prevalent opinion was that some
reform was better than total %iniquiry. But
the arrogant and dictatorial league which
has controlled the Democratic party in this
State for the past year and dictated what
should and should not be done, again mani
tested its authority. And the mandate went
forth that for at least two years more the
liquor traffic should be left just as it is, def
ant OF a VIGOROUSLY ineffective statute and
master of all authority. These are some of
the things the Democratic Legislature of 1883
failed to do. What they did will serve for
another chapter In its history.

HERE is an argument for those who object to
woman stepping out of her ''sphere" to enter
into competition with men. A Georgia woman
whose husband was a miller was accustomed to
run the mill in his absence, having learned as
much about machinery as he knew himself. She
forgot, however, that unlike her husband she
wore long hair, and carelessly leaning forward
until her head touched an upright shaft the
crown of glory was caught and torn entirely
from her head. After the accident the woman
stopped the machinery, walked into the house
and sent for a neighbor. The woman will re-
cover, but will look as il she had been sealped
by a whole tribe of Choctaws.

Dukes, who was yesterday acquitted of the
charge of murder, at Uniontown, Pa. The YER
dict so amazed the Judge that he commented
upon it at some length, and stated that it
was contrary to the evidence. The record of
the crime is uniquely diabolical. By his
own confession this man was a party, at
least, in the ruin OF Captain Nuts daughter,
with whom he had a marriage engagement.
When he found that his perfidious crime
must be revealed, he set about to develop a
scheme through which he hoped to escape
unhurt. With fendish malice he wrote let
tsa-n his victims father which
were intended to goad him to 0es-
peration. These letters were replied to
in the spirit that was anticipated, the broken
hearted and tortured parent properly de-
nouncing the man, and telling him that
he should not escape just and righteous ven
geance. This was what Dukes wanted, and
with a view to entrap Captain NUT, he in
vited him to his office or room, so that after
ne had slain the man he had already
outraged it might appear that he did SO in
self-defence. Having planned it all
with diabolical elaboration, he told
the wretched man to come armed if he wished,
but that SO far as he (Dukes) was concerned
he would be wholly unarmed. In keeping
with his plan he then bought a revolver,
asking particularly for "one that will kill,''
and with this identical weapon he afterward
murdered the man against whose honor as a
father and against whose life he had basely
conspired. Accepting his own story, Nicholas
A. Dukes deserves to be hanged like a dog.
