elsewhere do not want such banks, why force their

The authorities of the town of Brindisi, Italy.
will doubtless continue to declare the outbreak
of cholera there sporadic even if the cases
should increase from 16 to ten times that
number. The inhabitants of the neighboring
countries, however, are taking great precau-
lions to keep the disease from passing their
borders. Our own quarantine authorities, we
presume, need no reminder that vigilance is ex-
pected of them whenever any ship from Medi-
terranean ports appears at Sandy Hook; nor
should any suggestions be needed Tor the
Health Board. The health of the city must be
watched more carefully this summer than ever
before. If we have no cholera among us this
season we may reasonably hope to avoid 1t alto
gether, if the town is kept clean.

The late William H. Vanderbilt's great gift
of $500, 900 to the College of Physicians and

for establishing model Maternity Hospital on
the new college land. and this morning we
have the pleasure OF announcing that the four
Vanderbilt brothers have united III gift OF
$3.50, 600 for the special purposes of the elm
zeal department. These punifcent benefac-
tions deeply concern the public, whose interest
in the development of medical science is vital;
they confer distinction, opportunity and re-
sponsibllity upon the honorable institution
which receives them; and they furnish wei

agitation and discomfort, OF the service which
great wealth may render to humanity.

4 PAN ROE APRTL ELECTIONS.

The Republican majority in the Legislature has
given the citizens of New ! DIRK a startling sur
prise by adopting yesterday plan for April
elections in this city. This act, however, does
not apply to all the local Offices Its operations
are limited to the Mayor the Controller, the
President of The Board of Aldermen and the
members of that Board. 1t makes no change in
the time of electing the Sheriff and the Register,
the County Clerk and the COrOners, the Judges,
the Senators and the Assemblymen. If this bill
should become law our local elections would
be divided between April and November
The terms of the present occupants OF
municipal Offices are not interlercd with by the
act, but in April, 1887, Mayor, Controller,
President of the Board of Aldermen and four
teen Aldermen, who will compose the new
Board, are to be elected. The Mayor then to
be voted for will not take Office until January l,
lSSS, and therefore it will be necessary TO elect
a successor to Mayor Grace next November,
who by the provisions of this act Will hold the
position only for the year 1887. new
election for Mayor will occur next April This
will bring two MayOralty campaigns into IN
comfortably close proximity. At the Novem-
Der election of this year fourteen Aldermen are
to be elected on general ticket, and these will
compose the Board until January l, 1SSS, when
they will be succeeded by the fourteen TO be
elected next April. In the election of Alder
men the system of cumulative voting already
described in THE TRIBUNE will be followed,
and minority representation will thus be
secured.
The great advantages to be gained by spring
elections have never been clearly demonstrated,
and the experiment must be considered some
what doubtful and uncertain. Spring elections
will increase largely our election expenses
and may bring out only scanty vote.
1t might perhaps have been well for the
Legislature to assure itself that public sent
ment demanded the change before adopt
ing so revolutionary a scheme in the closing
hours of the session. But the election Of the
Board of Aldermen on a general ticket with
minority representation insured will be
positive reform of the greatest value. 1t will
DO no serious harm to test the plan of April
elections for n part of the municipal Offices
under the methods adopted by the Assembly.
At least the city may gain some valuable ex-
perience. But great many people will con-
tinue to believe that once year is often enough
for the election fever to rage, and certainly the
prospect of two campaigns for the Mayoralty
within five months is not altogether reassuring.

BEARING FALSE FITNESS.

The current number of HdJper'S Weekly en-
deavors to brace up President Cleveland by Il
savage and unwarrantable attack upon on,
State Legislature. stranger with only this
account and estimate of the Legislature to
guide him would conclude that it had been a
profligate inefficient body, that the Repub-
lcans constituting its majority instead of being
reputable public servants were simply the
plant tools of the lobby.
The Weekly is especially displeased at the
rejection of the Governors nominations for this
port. The refusal of Republican Senators to
play into the hands Of so ambitions and I'M
scrupulous Democratic leader as Hill may
offend our contemporary and its Mugwump and
Democratic brethren. But it does not offend
the Republican masses. Tie Weekly asserts
that the nominations in question were " CON
fessedly irreprOachable," while it is nearer the
truth to affirm that the one OF greatest import
ance was indefensible from the point of view of
those who seek reform in the Civil Service.
Equally unjust is Tie Veekly's charge that the
majority has left the great question OF PRISON
reform unsettled" The truth is that the
majority has made tie bt st possible disposition
of the question. The people demand that the
prisons shall be self-sustaning and have voted
to abandon the system of labor that accom-
pished that object. The Legislature has
provided for a commission to investigate the
subject in all its phases, to the end That the best
policy may be permanently adopted. and pend
ing the report of the commission has provided
for the employment of convcts under the
public account system with such notifications
of the system as may prove necessary. Such
are the facts To state them is to dispose of
The Weeklys criticism.
But The Weekly's most fragrant charge is that
the Republicans of the Legislature have been
controlled by lobby Of notorious political
jObbers." On the contrary it has been the
general testimony Of experienced observers that
no Legislature for many years had been as free
from lobby influences as the present one.

more vigorous the support. This will account for
the extraordinary activity of the Pam Electric
statesmen in behalf of the confirmation OF
Solicitor General Goode. They succeeded
recently in getting the Judiciary Committee by
the aid of one Republican vote to authorize
Democratic Senator to report this nomination
to the Senate Fortunately for the public
interests. that action has been rescinded, ana
MIR. Goode Is again In the hands OF the
judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Goodies Pan-Electrc associates in the
Senate will leave no stone unturncd to secure
his confirmation. Such action would be
heralIed by them IA a verdict of acqnittal in
their own cases. Ii would be worth great
deal nj this time to Garland and Goodc. who
have brought reproach upon the Department
Of Justice But we cannot believe that any
Republican Senator will knowingly lend him
self TO such a scheme. Goodies record, aside
from his connection with the Pan-Electrc
scandal, ought to lead to his prompt rejection.
Even committee of Democratic House of
Representatives reported that he procured his
election to that body by fraud, and Iec0m-
mended that he be ousted from his seat. Is n
Republican Senate to overlook the shameful
record of this man The sooner such nomina
tons as those of Goode and of Fourth Auditor
Shelley are rejected the better it will be for the
cause Of honest elections in the South and for
honor in public offices.

MR. GL1DSTONES APPEAL

Mr. Gladstone has made but one appeal
to the country as Prime Minister. On that
occasion he was defeated by a large major
ity and forced to resign. In 1868, 1850 and
1885 the Conservatives were in power when
Parliament was dissolved, and in each instance
a Liberal majority was returned. In 1874,
when Mr.. Gladstone abruptly consulted the
constituencies he not only took them by sur
prise, but irrtated his party associates, and the
Conservatives returned to Office with fifty votes
to spare in a division with the Liberals and
Home Rulers combined. The party managers
com planned that he had acted impuls;vely and
almost petulantly in dissolving Parliament
without warning and when they were unpre-
pared for the elections. 1t was even charged
that he had not consulted his own colleagues in
the Cabinet and that they were not aware
that the appeal was to be made until the an
nouncement was actually published. There
was no important issue to be presented to the
people. and so abrupt dissolution of Parla-
ment was generally condemned as unwise and
unstatesmanlike. Mr.. Gladstone, if he appeals
to the country now, will have his own disas-
trous experience and the precedents of the last
twenty years against him. Not once during
that period has an English Prime Minister been
sustained by the national electorate.
On the other hand, Mr.. GladstOne's browning
success was achieved when an Irish Reform bill
was presented to the new constituencies created
by the Reform bill of 1867 as the chief political
question of the day. The disestabishment of
the Irish Church had been proposed by him as
leader of the Opposition, and the Governments
resolutions on the subject had been defeated.
The Disestablishment question was the most
prominent issue discussed on both sides in the
electoral canvass, and it was generally under
stood that Mr.. Gladstone if he were to become
Prime Minister would not only disestablish the
Church. but also deal with the land and educa-
ton questions in accordance with Irish ideas.
1t was under these circumstances that the great
majority of 100 was obtained as the result of
the general elections of 1868. Mr. Gladstone,
if he really has resolved to dissolve Parliament
in'the event of an adverse vote on the Home
Rule bill, may derive some encouragement from
"reminiscences of that victorious canvass, when
he was placed in Office for the avowed purpose
of conciliating the Irish people by series of
rad ical reforms.
