bright chat and amusing discussion. The

man and other beggars on the streets, the
women who go out choring and take in wash
ing, and those that are helped by charity
and such, really do not suffer so much from
poverty as do respectable people of small
means, especially women who live in decent
houses, to keep their place in society, and
are obliged to maintain an appearance of
comfort, and dress like ladies, no matter how
little they may have to do it with"

OF course there is no way to determine
with certainty whether the Monument street
school has had anything to do with the out
break of dipththeria on the Hill or not. DR..
Crandall gives in another column some good
reasons for suspecting that it did. Doubt
less many facts can be cited that point
to put the school house in
such condition as to contrary
conclusion. 1t is practicable however to
drainage and ventilation as to exclude the
possibility of its being source of disease.
This is now being done, and when the re-
pairs and alterations now underway are
completed parents can send their children
there without fear. The fuss" whether
stirred up by DR.. Crandall or not bids fair to
result in good. Whenever a malignant dis
ease breaks out in any section of the city, es-
pecially if it be disease generally recog-
nized as preventable, it is always somebody IS
duty to make fuss" over it. If DR.. Gran
dali made the "fuss" in this case it is alto
gether to his credit.

Mr. Randall is exceedingly 10th to loosen

good season so that they can be fully dis

The Salisbury cabinet is disinclined to car

for the government of Ireland and will make
strong bid for Parnelps support.

A Washington despatch to the Lewiston
Journal says the Maine Senators are in re-
ceipt of papers from Democratic sources,
claiming that Bion Bradbury, Gen. Ander-
son and other Democrats endorsed the count
out and ought to be treated the same as Col
lector Chase. Probably the Portland Argus
of December H. containing a report of a
meeting held in City Hall December 81, 1879,
figures among these papers. 1t is easy to
guess the Democratic source from which
they come.

Col. Kent, recently appointed naval officer
at Boston, did not receive his commission
before the Senate met and the question is
raised as to his right to hold the office until
he is confirmed. Mr.. Hall, the present in

notice of his suspension and according to a
decision of Judge Edwards Pierrepont when
Attorney General an officers suspension
does not take effect until he is officially noti-
fed of it. If Mr.. Hall is inclined to stick
he can probably make considerable trouble
for his successor.

The facility with which germs of conta-
geous diseases are conveyed and distributed
by water has been made the subject of a
scientific article in the New York Times,
suggested by the almost epidemic spread of
typhoid fever in the city of Brooklyn. In
his summary the writer says: ''Within twelve
years fifty epidemics of typhoid, fifteen Of
scarlet fever, and seven of diphtheria, in
England alone, comprising nearly 5000 cases,
have been traced to polluted drinking water.
In twenty-five epidemics of typhoid it was
shown that the poison had soaked into wells
from cesspools or vaults, and was conveyed
in milk which had been fraudulently dilut-
ed" In searching for the causes of diphthe-
ria on the hill, the water supply should not
be overlooked. If we are correctly informed
many of the residents Of that locality use
water from wells.

Col. Lamont says Pillsbury's name will be
sent to the Senate when it is reached. AS
Pillsbury's nomination was contemporary
eous with Collector Chases it would seem
that it ought to have been reached at the
same time. But perhaps the President thinks
the Senate will take his bad nominations
better if he administers them in homGopath-
ic doses. Chase, Pillsbury and Troup, all at
once, might have led to violent revolt of
the senatorial stomach. But we are inclined
to think that the President will find that the
most infnitesimal doses of statesmen of this
sort will be rejected.

PHILADELPHIA News. /

"It is q mistake to suppose, said Mr. To-
cey Hamilton, that the way OF the female
gymnest Is hard, thst girls only are in the
profession, and that they soon wear out, like
the pugilist, or that they are not fond Of the
business.
THE remuneration these performers re-
ceive varies from $50 to $500 week. The
best OF them, ard, OF course, the few, can
command the latter sum. But ii must be
remembered that for several months in the
year they are idle. Many also have 10 sup.
port q mother or younger brothers
and sisters. The latter is the case with one
we'll known gymnast. who is the niece Of a
URited States Senator. Her father in his
latter days was financially unfortunate, aud,
dying poor, left q boy and girl 10 be pro
vidsd for by his eldest daughter. Her uncle
told her sh6 was disgracing her family by
becoming circus performer, bat she did not
regard IL in the same light. She said she was
able to take care Of herself, the remuneration
was good, and her brother and sister had 70
DC supported. They have now grown up, but
still she continues in the profession, because
she has liking for it and it gives her indie
peDdence.
Most of these ladies have an exalted opin-
ion of their profession, and wonder why So
ciety' does not take to them more kindly.
They consider themselves quite as good as e
Nilsson, q Patti or an Ellen Terry, aud would

Senator voorhees, Commended.

We have already had occasion to point
out that this.view of the Presidents tduc-
tons il strictly in accordance with the Con-
etituion. and that any rash Senators who
wish to make war upon the President for
disregaroiDg their advice or dictstiou would
find him in On impregnable position and
themselves helpless and without arms or
ammunition. The doctrine sustained by
Mr.. voorhees, is not novel one, but ii has
been so long ignored and rejected at Wash
iDgton that it seems novel. Since the mo.
mentous period in our constitutional history
when the Senate in its contest with Andrew
Jobnson deliberately stripped him OF much
OF his legitimate power and directly and in-
directly took into its own hands much of the
Presidential function, the idea has steadily
grown stronger that the President coald and
should be made simply distributing agsnt
FOR the supply Of patronage to the party and
TO the party managers. 1t was mischevous
idea and gave rise TO many abuses. II went
far toward the discrediting of General Grant
in his civil career. who was held responsible
for many offenses for which he was only
negatively TO be blamed. Ii shattered the
feeble force of Mr.. Hayes good intentions.
It utterly confused aud batfisd President
Garfield, who, IL be had not been killed by
an insane deYotee OF this idea, would have
been so-ely tried, If not wretched, by its
operation. And it did much during Mr..
Arthur's administration to bring about the
catastrophe for the Republican party with
which that administration was closed.
Dir. Cleveland is the first President in a
quarter of o century who has set out with
the svowed determination TO resist the
notion that he IS q mere patronage agent for
his party. He has not undertaken to disre-
gard entirely the claims of party IN the az
minissration of the public service, bat ne
hiss distinctly undertaken TO subordinate
them TO the public interests, and he hss an
u1doubted purpose TO reduce the area OF the
operation OF the patronage idea OF the naT-
rowest possible limits In dong so he IL en-
titled 10 the support OF all honest citizsns.
he Is especially entitled TO the supper CT his
own party. for ne is doing more thsa Any
other man has done in this generation to
make useful and successful career prsctc-
sole for his party by convincing the people
that it is not PARTY of mere Office seekers.
We believe he Will so beyond rather than
fall behind BIS professions, that with ex-
perienceshe will see that the extsnsi IN OF the
principle Of e non partisan civil service is
The best thing for bis psrty as we'll for the
country The position so honorably taken
by Mr. voorhees, is sign that he is MT -

from the Democratic leaders.
