Some charitable ladies OF New York
propose TO establish an organization to be
known as '''fhe Good Samaritan Sister
hood,' the object Of which is to furnish
medical attendance, pbysic and trained
nurses to the sick and destitute poor OF
that city. Ii is stated that the Organiza-
ton will be inaugurated under favorable
! auspices, and that 1t Will have the coop
Grafton and assistance OF many churches
and physicians, as we'll as that Of the
public dispensaries.
The sisterhood is not sectariaD In char
acter, and it is intended TO extend its
ment house districts, where the suffering
OF the sick for the want OF proper nursing
and medical attention is very great.
The organization is patterned after the
DiakOnissen service, which is established
all over the German Empire, and which is
OF very great Importance in all the large
cities in that country. The service has
been established in Germany for fifty
years. 1t gradually increased its sphere
Of usefulness until the FrancO-German
war broke ont some fifteen years ago,
when it furnished hundreds OF nurses for
the hospitals and for field service in bat
ties, rendering as efficient aid to the sick
and wounded soldiers as the famous Red
Cross Society. This service attracted the
attention of the Empress, who established
the Augusta Diakonissen School in Ber-
lin, which is still in a most 1ourishing
condition.
The New York Sisterhood proposes To
adopt systematic manner OF securing
contributions and raising funds in
other ways to enable it to carry on its
work, and the work itself is expected to
be thoroughly systematized.
The progress OF this organization will
be watched with interest. Its objects ap-
peal so strongly to every humane person
that 1t will, in all probability, be well
sustained. Every city should have sim
lar organization, for the charitable sOcie-
ties and churches scarcely include more
than one half Of the needy and suffering
poor IN their benefits.

The most remarkable thing in con7ec-
| ton with the discussion of the bill 10
modify the Railroad Commission law is
/ the suddenness with which DR.. FELTON,
has come TO be regarded as the leader of
! the opposition TO the bill. Those who
hcve been expecting to make little rep
utation for themselves by their hostility
10 the railroads, are now forced TO admit
that their expectations will never be re-
allied. DR.. FELTON, has gone so far be-
yond them in his attacks upon the rail
roads, and has so boldly and skillfully
attempted to arouse feeling Of bitterness
between capitalists and workiRgmen,
that they and their puny efforts will not
be heard of again.
Whatever reputation there is to be won
in fighting against granting the railroads
simple justice will be monopolized by
DR.. FELTON,. Others who have played or
NAV still play part hostile to the rail
roads for the purpose Of making capital
for themselves will in the future hardly
be regarded SIS anything more than hobs
TO the tail o. DE. Feli0n's kite.
Ii Is % be regretted that DIR. FELTON,
deemed d NECESSARY 20 appeal to passions
&no preiuaioss to support his position. 1t
would aAve ocez more dirnided, and per-
Aaps more elective as Tar as the pending
bll Is concerned. u be bad confined him
self 10 giving reasons loT his position.
A calm an5 1lspsssionate argument,
however. would rot have attracted so
much attention throughout tina State as
ne speech did which he delivered. He
would Lot have been recognized as the
leader Of the opposition as he now is. He
would 10. now be singled out as the one
member q the Legislature who has given
utter4Rce 70 sentiments that find favor
chiefly with Communists.
We 90 not pretend 70 question Dr..
felton's motives. He may be entirely
sincere IN the course he has taken
IT, however, his purpose was TO draw the
attention OF the people 10 himself, he has
succeeded. The other opponents OF the
5ill to modify the Railroad Commission
Law have been lost sight Of. They have
been forgotten, as it were, in a day.
Whatever they may do in opposition to
the bin in the future will only help TO
push DR.. FELTON, into a more conspicuous
position.
Dr.. FELTON, may have political aspira-
lions. He has a right to have them, as
any citizen has. He has no right,
however, 10 try TO array different classes
Of society against each other, and while
his speech in the House last Friday added
something TO his prominence, it is ques-
tionable whether 1t did not damage him
n the estimation Of honest thinking men,
whether they are rich Orpoor.

almost constantly; and thither his
uncle and heir presumptive, Prince
