question their careful consideration. How are

will secure the better representation, that Wllch
looks to separate district conventions or that
which looks to subdividng the State Conven-
tions It is for the Republicans themselves to
decide, and it is of the first importance that no
mistake be made. We notice that some or our
contemporaries in discussing the subject hnd
fault with the rule adopted by the National
Committee because it offers an option. But the
time for criticism upon the rule is past or rather
is not now in order. The only thing in order Is
for the Republicans TO determine what they Will
do Certainly there is nothing in the option
that stands in the way of district representa-
ton.
The duty of the State Committee in the
premises is evident. 1t ought without UNI
necessary delay to take the initiative looking TO
carrying ont the purpose of the National Con-
vention as expressed in the rule of the National
Committee Let the committee make provision
for uniform Congressional conventions in each
of the thirty -four districts. This duty cannot
be left to the Congressional committees, beca'lse
the reapportionment of last year IN altering tLe
boundaries of districts necessarily brought thc
existing committees to ar end. Or course inc
State Committee has no right to dictate " to
the Congressional districts, but call bJ the
committee for district conventions would DC
generally respected.
1t is desirable also that tho district conven-
tons shall be large enough to DO fairly repre-
sentative. They certainly ought to be much
larger than the ordinary Congressional coDven-
ton. The great principle of district represen-
tation is on trial 1t behoOves its friends to see
that il is tried under the most favorable circum-
stances that can be commanded.

4 DELICATE SOCIAL POINT.

Last weeks complex volume of news included an
item Of unique Significance. We trust that none OF
those whom 1T Immediately concerned overlooked It,
for ii was frsught with valuable lesson. To say
that 1t concerned daughters-in-law Ia to indicate
what multitudes of people ought to have read 1t.
The class Is large and constantly reinforced Every

The item alluded to was TO the effect that Oh

the opinion of the local surrogate upon the salient

daughter-in-law Is in quandary. She knows That
as much cannot reasonably be expected Of her as OF

groom from the Emerald Isle who, upon introducing
his bride (of the same postOffice address,, TO her

aisy Patsey. don't intind to-" Perhaps this
daughterin-law had the correct ideas ct ali events
it is not known that her husband was denied his
share of the estate.
The calendars of all the courts are uncomfortably
crowded, The consequence is that this extraordi-

cannot be disposed of for many long and weary

decision the less the anxiety Of countless women 1t
is fair to assume that all other litgants will fall

1t is doubtful whether the plaintiff in the
Hart Townsend libel suit is pleased with the
verdict of the jury, although he wins his case
and gets S55 damages. Two or three such vim
dications as this would be enough to ruin the
reputation of the most respected man in town.
The experience, however, will be of great value
to Mr. Hart if it only teaches him to let bad
enough alone. There was too much that was
utterly disgraceful about the Morey letter
forgery to allow any one who was even remotely
connected with the publication of it to run the
risk OF reviving the scandal.

The practice of rushing bills through the Leg
islature so quickly that they cannot be closely
examined is not generally followed at Albany
before the end of the session, but yesterday the
friends of a bill extending the time of the Rapid
Transit Commissioners undertook to pass that
measure under pressure, because the terms of
commissioners expire in few days. The bill
may be proper one, but in everything relating
10 the granting of privileges to street railways
in New-York City, either on the ground, above
It, or under 1t, there is such chance Tor jobs
that too great pains cannot be taken to examine
carefully all legislation of this kind. The I'M
