Besides the other and conclusive objections
TO railroad bridge across the Kill Won Kull
it is more than suspected that Messrs. Gar.
rett and Wiman are not acting in entire good
faith. There is every reason to believe that
they are using this scheme as club to bring
the other roads to terms. They have refused
to pay the Jersey Central the price it asks
for the use of its terminal facilities in Jersey
City. They have chronic quarrel with the
Pennsylvania people. Now it is more than
likely that the Baltimore and Ohio managers
do not expect to carry passengers to New
York by route which has six-mile ferry.
They could not in this way compete with the
limited express trains which are making
such quick trips between Washington and
New York. But the Staten Island water
front will be very useful for freight purposes,
and if they can get the privilege Of riding
roughshod over the mercantils interests
which are now using the Kill waterway
they can probably get better terms for the
purchase or uss of the Jersey Central. But
Congress cannot afford to be used as cats
paw in schemes like this. If the Baltimore
and Ohio want to get to Staten Island let
them build high suspension bridge that
will not interfere with shipping.

Good sense and moderation are required in
enjoying social pleasures, as in other mat
ters Of daily conduct In condemning excess
1t is not necessary to pronounce sweeping
judgment on that which in itself Is innocent.
Doubtless the very late hours which some
regard as ultra-faShionable, turning night
into day and day into night, are to be dep
recated, but the amusing point is that the
most violent ph!lippics against late hours
are printed in morning journals whose
proprietors keep whole staff Of employees
ont of bed until near sunrise, at the most
arduous kind OF labor, without seem-
ing to think that they are doing
anything sinful. The idea that a
society belle. who passes the night in dane
ing and conversation and sleeps as late as
she likes next day, has TO Ego into training"
al one floating mass ofpen-rubbish describes,
in order to stand the ordeal, is too silly to
be treated seriously. 1t is true that ladies
die from causes that may be traced to their
social position, but what do mortsls not die
FROM Death is the common lot, and II may
come from the scratch OF pin as certainly
as from a blast Of dynamite. The notion Of
commiserating fashionable women on the
supposed dangers and burdens OF their lives,
when there is so much real drudgery, ex-
posure, and killing Oyerwork to be exposed
and relieved, could only enter the mind Of a
reporter very much at a loss for sensational
matter. The shop-girl who is not allowed to
sit down during her long hours of duty, the
car driver facing the storm for sixteen hours
out OF twenty-four, the operative in great
tinder-box without flre'escapes, may not be
SO picturesque as the great lady who dies
''of a rose, in aromatic pain" but they are
all much more in need Of the giant arm Of
the press, so powerful when rightly employed,
80 futile when II is devoted to crushing egg
shells.

The death of Miss Bayard, an event so
profoundly sad that it should have escaped
trivial comment, has been made the text for
the usual diatribes in many quarters against
"Washington society," Social duties in
this city are described as if they were kind
of grim Moloch or Minotaur, to which cer-
tain number of the young Of both sexes, es-
pecially ladies, must be sacrificed each year.
II is astonishing that stuff of this kind
should not only be written and printed in
newspapers that ought to display better
sense, but that 1t should be the favorite
mark of the scissors editor whenever it ap-
pears, and be copied and recopied until it
has traversed the whole continent to the
Pacific Coast. and then boomerangs back to
the East in the maddening way with which
constant newspaper readers are familiar.
The best and simplest refutation of it is the
number of ladies who have been known here
as leaders of society Tin the best sense) for
years, indefatigable in the discharge Of their
social duties, the centres of the life OF large
coteries, active in charitable and church
work, and, in some cases, looking after large
household at home besides. Although not
noted for extraordinary strength or en-
durance, they have escaped with as little
illness as most mortals endure, and
while they have sometimes complained of
their round of duty as irksome, they have
certainly never thought of it as literally
murderous. What are the social duties
herei They are mainly comprised in driv-
ing or walking about to make visits in per-
son or by card during the day, and attend
ing certain number Of teas, dinners, and
balls in the afternoon or evening. There is
nothing in all this very dangerous to life /;
and either delicate health or bad weather is
held by all whose opinion is worth consider
ing as valid reason for remaining quietly
at home. 1t is true that these employments
may be carried to excess, but so may any
others, even those which in themselves are

The Boston Herald tells the fol-
lowing story of the late Prof. So
procles of Harvard: The old Greek
was catechising his class one day on
the ancient history of his native
country.
"When did Theodophilus live p
he asked one sophomore.
Before Christ"
"Wrong" shouted the professor.
And then, addressing the next So
phomore: "When did Theodophilus
liver"
"After Christ"
Wrong" shouted the professor
again. And then he addressed the
question to third student. "When
did Theodophilus live ?"
Neither before nor after Christ.
"You are right, young man." said
the professor. There never was such
man as Thcodophilus."
1t was one of the little historical
traps that Sophocles liked to set fol
the budding wisdom Of Harvard.
