GOOD MEASURE IN PERIL.

The High Buildings bill is in danger OF an
Executive veto. Real estate spectators COLI
tractors and avariciOus property-owners are
making strenuous exertions to have this e1.
cellept measure set aside for their own personal
interests without regard for the welfare OF
the city. This would be a serious misfortune
There is in this city decided public opinion
on this subject which not even an ambitious
politician can safely outrage; and governor
Hill ought not to be tempted by special pleas
to disregard the sober Judgment OF lnnu-
entail residents, competent phys'clans anu
uublic-spirited santarians who have earnestly
supported this measure The Governor is to
hear argument on the bill on June 1, and since
the oppos ton is determined to fight to the last,
those who have befriended the bill need To
bestir themselves.
The Legislature in passing measure Tor
limiting the height of observation-disclosures has
sought to place New-York in line with the
experience of London, Paris, Berlin ana
Vienna. The restrictions imposed are moderate
in comparison with those of the French statutes
and are warranted by ordinary common sense
as we'll as the plainest principles of sanitary
science. We discussed the subject in detail
and do not need to repeat any arguments III
favor of it. 1t is proper to refer to the llst Oh
distinguished men who signed the MAN
petition for the passage of the BILL lt was
headed by we'll known merchants and bankers
such as w. L. Dodge, Thomas Denny, j. "A.
Roosevelt, Thomas Hillhouse William A.
Booth and Morris X. Jesup; by prominent
insurance officials including such representative
men ms George +. Hope John Wclman, John
II. WaShburn, Stephen Crowell, 5. c. Harriet
and many others; and by 5. o. YandcrpoeL a.
NJ. LOOMS, ID. b. St. John Rosa. Edward g..
Jancway, Stephen Smith and many other
physicians.
The influence of 80 strong and so representa-
tive body of petitioners ought to secure the
safety of the measure in its final and perhaps
most critical stage.

Truly one must go away from home to learn
the news. All the way from Paris by way Of
London comes the information that France
helped to get up the Riel rebellion in the
Northwest. There may be some sympathy
between the half-breeds and the French, since
French blood runs in the alf-breeds' veins /;
and the Republic certainly does not love her
neighbor across the Channel. Eut the French
leaders, cratic though they be, would hardly
waste their time in stirring up trouble in
Canada. There would be no glory, or what is
more important, no profit in it.

Jump from the Brooklyn Bridge was out of his
mind On the contrary, everything indicates
that he never before used his wits to so much
advantage. He made his preparations to jump
with so much elaboration that 1t was I'M
possible for the policemen to fail to stop him.
The incident has attracted much attention to

In days gone by, a fatal typhoid fever
epidemic such as has ragged lately at Plymouth,
Penn, would have been attributed to the wrath
of God; but the Investigations of the physi-
clans show that in this case the disease was due
entirely to defective sewerage system and the
carelessness of the attendants of the man who
was first taken i'll. The work of the investi-
gators seems to have been perfect and it is
seldom that more complete and satisfactory
medical report has been furnished to the public.
An unanswerable case Is made out against the
residents of Plymouth who allowed their water

great care in sanitary matters in towns and

emphasizes what has been said in these
