MI Matthew Arnold is fast learning that we
are not all 80 black as he has painted us. He
once referred to the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
as heated barbarian" But yesterday morn
ing he attended services in this barbaTian's
church, and concluded las a good many other
people have dOne), after hearing the sermon,
that he had been mistaken In the Plymouth
pastor. However, this was admitted after Mr..
Beecher had remarked that he regarded Mr..
Arnold as his master, and had read all his
works through and through again. SO, perhaps,
after all, the English critic thought he could
not say much less.
The system of red-tape which has been de-
nounced so frequently as cruel because it often
delays the admission of worthy poor people to
our charitable institutions, now and then at
least binders with good effect. The Superin-
tendent of the Kings County PoOrhOuse re-
Gently refused to receive poor old woman
until certain fOrmalities, which then seemed
quite useless, had been complied with. AS the
story in our local columns shows the exact OBJ

seems to be heartless attempt of two people
to get rid of an aged relative and possess them
selves of her money. Unless an unexpectedly
good defence can be made by the nephew and
niece in question, they have an excellent
chance OF going to the Penitentiary for per-
Jury. There seems to be no reason why jury
should recommend them to the mercy OF the
court.
This should be q week of hard work for all
Republicans, not from fear of defeat so much rs
for hope of success. In the Senate and Assem-
bly, districts of this city especially the party
will make material gains if only its members
will take advantage of the situation and bring
out a full vote. In the With, With and Nth
Senate districts it is certain that the
Republican candidates will be chosen
by fair pluralitics majoritics if
all the citizens who approve the nominations
vote as they feel. A full vote should also give
us the Xlth district In the same way the dele
cation of Republican Assemblymen from this
city should be greatly increased. Most of the
candidates have had experience at Albany, and
they are all honest, intelligentand capable men.
Aside from the Otherissues, certainly enough are
presented in this branch of the November con-
test to rouse all Republican taxpayers to an in
terest in securing a Republican majority this
winter in our State Legislature.
The questions which the Civil Service Re-
form Association has put to the candidates on
the State tickets, have received prompt and
decisive replies from the Republicans. The
association wanted to know if they approved the
Civil Service bill passed by the Legislature last
winter and if in the event of election they
would enforce 1t in spirit and in the letter. not
only after January A, when it goes into opera
ton, but during the time they might be In office
