exercise, IL Is probably demonstrable that the so'
called idle women as class inherit vigorous bodies,
and that rs well because they possess that IN
heritance as because they are well nourished,
breathe pure air, sleep WELL and take plenty Of ex-
ercise, they are, as q rule, thoroughly developed
physically, and not as DIR. Dio Lewis says, Spindle
armed and thin-chested.
And we think also that climate and soil nave
something to do with the development Of the ply
sque, and that this can be made manifest by REFER
ence to differences of climate on this continent.
When the Eastern resident goes to California, for
example he finds in San Francisco race Of people
presenting marked differences from the Eastern
type The sallowness leanness and angularity OF
the typical Yankee have disappeared and every
where are seen rosy faces and plump, well-Rlled
FORMS The purity and dryness of the air Of inter
Tor California do not produce the effects. But
San Francisco is bathed perennially in sea-breezes
and ssea-fOgs laden with iodine and ozone, and
although the idle class Of women there are no
fonder Of exercise than their sisters on this side OF
the continent they do acquire there that roundness
Of physical contour which is commonly associated
with English and Irish women. But indeed the
evidence in support of the influence Of climate and
soil upon the human organism Is considerable.
Thus it has been well ascertained that the inhab-
itants of limestone formation are apt to possess
particularly Welknlt 0sSeOuS systems, WIue INC III
habitants Of marshy ground apt to be spare and
lean. In the same way mountain life modihes the
organism, charging and strengthening the mus
cular system and the pulmonary organs while resi-
dence within tho belt of sea-air has the effect OF
improving the quality Of the skin and bestowing
good compilations Indeed the influence Of locality,
soil and climate, and that of heredity must be
taken into account before anything like trust
worthy view can be obtained of the question OF
physical development
Mere exercise without proper nOurishment or
without the prime requirement of healthy con-
stitutiOn to start with, or without pure air, or
without due regard to the amount of interest taken
in the work, cannot be expected to effect the trans
formation promised by DR.. Die Lewis. There are,
no doubt, many thousands of women, in this and
other countries, who never attain the physical
development they would wish to possess, because
they are lacking in some of the many qualifications
which it is beyond their power to supply. Never
theess, even the feebest and punest can improve
erphyscal condition to an appreciable extent by
systematic and judiciously conducted exercise, and
therefore the advice Of DR.. Lewis should not be
neglected because he happens to have made some
rather TOO sweeping assertions.

ure. It Is In this district that the great manu-.
facturers of Lyons and st. Etienne buy much OF
tbcir stock. The neighborhoods where lace ana
nottery are made are likewise mapped out
These facts, accompanied by many interesting
statistics, viii be found to be of great value 10
all students of political economy, no matter 10
what school they belong. AS Mr.. Porter mas
postponed comment until some other time
even Free Traders, will be able to peruse TINS
letter without losing their temper
The members of the Central Labor Union
yesterday, in looking over the results Oh last
weeks elections, found so little to comfort
them that they naturally fell to qualTellhg
among themselves. The returns were hueeu
discouraging. The Union started III inc can
vass with four nominations for the Assembly
and one for the Board of Aldermen-al iilaue
Inv a Central Committee in the most approved
machine fashion. But everything went wrong
from the start. The candidate for the Assem-
b,v in the XIXth District had himself in
dorsedn by the County Democracy, and the
Union then withdrew him. Mr.. Devine, in
the XVIII District, withdrew himself when he
saw he had no chance of election. The Social
jst nominated in the Xth received only 934
votes. against 1900 which he obtained in
1882; and yet his district, including Fourth-st.
and large part of Avenues A and b, is
hotbed for the most rampant Socialistic views.
In the With District Mr.. Malone polled 800
votes. The forlOrn candidate for Alderman in
the Xth did not do much better These facts
are significant. The Central Labor Union is
perhaps the most representative organization
of the workingmen in the city; yet its strength,
when put to the test, is seen to be utter
weakness. The members talk bravely enough
about their wrongs; but they march up to the
polls and vote for Tammany every time.

4 DEPLETED PENSION FUND.

A question that should early engage the
attention of the new Legislature Is tnat
of the condition of the Police Pension
Fund. 1t was established for a worthy OBJ
ject, but it is rapidly disappearing. 1t has
been depleted since January l to the extent OF
nearly 100000. The capital at the present
time is not much over $150,00O. If the
present average of receipts and payments con-
tinucs. the fund will be exhausted i'll about sew
enteen months. There are 225 men, 100
widows and % orphans now on the pension
roll. The men who have contributed the most
to the) fund and who have become .superan-
uated, will apparently get little benefit from it.
There should be legislation TO replenish and
prcserve the fund; but the money for that
purpose ought not to be obtained by any tax on
the people of New-York In any new legiSla-
ton on this subject no person should be made
a beneficiary Of this fund who has not contrib
utcd to it. Heretofore, we believe that the
best paid members of the police force have
contributed little or nothing to the fund, though
standing in the way of securing from 1t the
greatest benefit.
In 4 communication to the Mayor on this sub
iect the Police Commissioners assert that
" there are numerous sources from which an
"adcquate income may be derived, and which
will suggest themselves on reflection" The
Police Commissioners are not so greatly over
worked or under-paid that they cannot them
selves use a little reflection on this subject,
which, they assert, is of vital importance to the
Police Department. If they desire speedy
legislation, let them prepare report on TINS
question, and show what has become OF the
pcnsion Fund and what are the sources from
which an income can be derived. II they can
present a measure to rcplcnish the Pension
Fund, that will be satisfactory to the public, 1t
will not take long to get bill through the Leg
sIature when it cOnvencs. But the Commits
sioners must understand that the police are well
paid for their work, and that the burden OF
supporting the Pension Fund must not be I'M
posed on the taxpayers.

QUESTION OF PHYSICAL DETELOP-

MENT.
DIR. bio Lewis has invited tho indignant protests
of the fair daughters of Erin by asserting that ut
ball in Queenstown some years ago he had an opOr-
tunity of observing 100 of these ladies, and that
although they were "vegy pretty and graceful
he had " never in America seen 40
Young women together with arms so small
and chests 80 fiat and thin This is bad
enough. bat he proceeds: "They belong to the
idle class and all the world over women of the Idle
class have spindle arms aud thin chests, unless
they become merely fat. which, with their weak
muscles is n sad embarrassment
OF course this is the prologue to vigorous APP
peal in behalf of exercise, and there can be no
question that exercise and physical work are bcne
fetal and that strong muscles, full chest, and
physical beauty" as DR.. Lewis puts it, may be pro-
ducod by judicious employment of these means.
But is il not Il mistake to suppose that all the
world over women of the idle class have spindle
arms and thin chrstsf" And is it not a mistake TO
assume that want of exercise is the sole explanation
of such defective Development Most persons who
have travelled must have observed many facts con
Alcting with Dr. Lewiss theory. In England and
Ireland general observation would certainly not
lead 10 the conclusion that women of the idle class
are imperectly developed. II is indeed true that in
these countries such women take great deal of
exercise that they employ various methods for tho
development of their bceps and deltoid muscles
and for the expansion of their chests. But apart
from tho European habits Of outdoor and muscular

How science has multiplied tho ties Of human
brotherhood A sharp word spoken by a statesman
in Europe, indicating the possibility of war be-
tween France and China, comes under the sea by
wire and lifts the price of wheat in Chicago a cent
buShel. If American farmers could get all the ad-
vance, the word spoken in Paris would be worth
81 900 to them. And some dignitary with a
long queue, away on tho other side of the globe
under feet, may take a step any day that shall
affect all the industries of this Nation.

Mr. Becchcr always has something bright and
original to say, and his views of the results of
the elections, which we publish elsewhere this
morning, form no exception to the rule. In re-
gard to the bright future of the Republican
party the Plymouth pastor stands in with the
majority but in regard to many minor points
we think he forms the greater part of de-
oidedly small remnant" Right or wrong,
however what Mr. Beecher says is well worth
reading.
Are all Democratic promises made only to be
broken9 Here is more evidence going to show
that they are. Before the recent elections, the
Bourbons in Virginia could hardly find words
to express the horror they felt for the repudia-
ton views of the ReadjuSters. If Senator Ma
hone aud his friends were defeated, they sad,
Virginia would once more act in good faith to-
ward her creditors The ReadjUstcr defeat is
not yet a week old #; but the BourbOns are al
ready arguing that they certainly cannot be ex-
pected to act in opposition to a financial policy
twice approved by the voters of the State.
The Richmond Dispatch remarks that the Dem
ocratic party would be dOubly dam ned if it
should pay the "disowned" millions. People
who do not keep THEN promises ought to avoid
such suggestive expressions.
The arrest of the fOrger, Brockway, and his
confederatcs, Foster and Martin, illustrates in
a striking manner the great disadvantages
under which criminals carry on their business
in this city. These men exercised much eau
ton. They worked in three separate houses
In the highly reputable st. James Hotel,
in house in Lexington-ave., and in one In
Eleventh-st. Undoubtedly they thought they
were safe from detection. Most other people
would have thought so too. But it was
the excessive wariness of the criminals which
betrayed them. Honest men engaged i'll
honest business do not look furtively up and
down the street, nor double on their tracks
every time they venture out. When the nOtO-
rious BrOckway did this, the detectives immedi-
ately suspected that he was up to his old
tricks. The intelligence and the shrewdness
shown in fOling the forgers schemes and in
bringing about their arrest reflect no little
credit on the Central Office.
Mr. Robert p. Porter's letter on Industrial
France, which is published elsewhere in The
TRIBUNE this morning, describes i'll an interest

Coon FRIDAY AND EAsTER-To.day Chris
tians all over the world commemorate the
Saviour's death upon the cross, by rigorous
fasting and the most solemn devotional eXer-
cses in the churches. The observance of Good
Friday is not confined to the Roman Catholic
or Episcopal churches, but the Lutheran and
Reformed churches, as well as many Methodsts,
observe the day by fasting and special services.
The forty days fast of Lent will end on Satur-
day. and the Sunday following is Easter. 1t is
the anniversary of our Lords resurrection from
the dead, and is one of the three great festivals
of the Christian year-the other two being
Christmas and Whitsuntide. From an early
period of Christianity down to the present day
Easter has always been celebrated by believers
with great joy. Churches are decorated with
flowers, the music is bright and joyful, and the
services are those Of praise for the sacrifice Of
Christ for the sins of the whole world and for the
assurance that since He rose from the dead
the bodies of His followers will also rise, at
the last day.
Easter is always the first Sunday after the full
moon which happens upon or next after The
2lst of March. If the full-moon happens upon
a Sunday, Easter Is the next Sunday. The
moon fulls this year on the 23d of March, and
Easter, consequently. is the 25th. The coincl-
dence of Easter on the 25th of March has not
occurred before since 1742 and will not happen
again until 1894.

a representative of the Baltimore 1mert-
en- recently obtained Col Webster's views
on the political situation, from the Repubi-
can standpoint. Col. Webster does not seem
over sangune of the chances of Republican
success next fall, if they depend merely upon
the unaded strength of his party. He thinks,
however that if the Democrats continue to
quarrel the Republicans can unite with the
dissatisfied ones and gain the election. In
other words the Republicans want the dis
satisfied Democrats to pull their chestnnts
ont of the fire
Col Webster says the Republicans must
carry the next Legislature "by some means
"A coalition, if necessary" in order that
they may choose the next United States Sen
ator. That they will bend every energy to
accomplish this end, we doubt not, but they
are quite as anxious to secure control of the
other county offices, here in Hartford at
least. Forewarned is forearmed and Demo
Gratis should therefore guard every point.
While our Republican friends base their
hopes of victory only upon Democratic dis
organization, they can not conceal the fact
that their own party is even more hopelessly
distracted and torn to pieces. Mr.. ]. A. j.
Crcswcl has strong desire for the United
States Senatorship and is believed to have
the active support of Col Webster. Arrayed
against Mr.. Creswel is a bold and powerful
wing of the party, who would welcome Dem
ocratic success rather than see Mr.. Crcswell
in the United States Senate
The colored voters, too are growing res
tive They complain that the Republican
party offers them nothing but ticket to vote
on election day, and that where Republ-
can official, like Col Ditty, is found who
seems disposed to do them justice, he is i'm.
mediately thrown overheard. Altogether
our Republican neighbors' fences are quite
as much in need of repair as cur own.

ASSIGNMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF CREDI-
ToRs.-On the 18th instant Mr.. Edward NJ. AL
len, who has been extensively engaged in the
fertilizer, grain and lumber business, at Stafford
in this county, made an assignment of his prop
erty to Hon. Stevenson Archer, in trust for the
benefit of his creditors. Mr.. Aliens assets con-
sist of Stafford Mills, which cost him, with i'm
provements, $45, 900, and from 81, 600 to $4,000
in personal property The farm on which he
resides is his wife's inheritance and not liable
for his debts. There are mortgages on the mill
property amounting to $4,000 and his floating
debts will probably reach 1876, 900 or $40, 000.--
The mill property will have to be sold, ard all
that Is realized above the amount of the mort
cages, will be divided among the general cred
itdrs Mr. Aliens failure is a surprise to many
of his friends, but he has for several years past
been conducting business under adverse cir
cumstances. He invested a large amount
money In Stafford Mills, and the failure of his
health has prevented him from giving the neces-
sary attention to his business. The depression
In the grain trade of the county also operated
against him. Mr.. Allen has been one of the
most public-spirited, enterprisiug and honor
able citizens of the county, and his failure in
business is greatly regretted. 1t is understood
that as soon as his affairs can be arranged he
will resume business.
