That Mr.. Beecher should decline a reception
offered to him by the Brooklyn Aldermen is not
surprising especially since there has been an
unseemly public dispute about who should pay
the expenses of the affair These Aldermen
(and all others) should confine themselves to
their legitimate duties hereafter. No one can
feel particularly honored by tokens of favor
shown by Boards of Aldermen in the vicinity
of New York in The present temper of the pub
lie mind.
Difficult as il is to get accurate information
of the state of things in Spain, it wonld not oe
safe TO wager that the report of threatened
uprising in that unhappy country is false.
Indeed 1t even seems probable, in view of the
mercy shown to the recent cOnspiratOrs and
mutinous soldiers, although they had murdered
some of the officers who remained faithful to
the Queen regent. 1t was like a oman to save
them from death, but 1t may speedily prove
to have been the worst kind of craftsmanship.
The next lot of rebels will hardly escape so
easily.
The oleomargarine dealers talk as if great
triumph would be scored by them if they could
get a decision from the Court of Appeals
against the law fOrbidding the use OF cOlOring
matter to make bogus butter look like the real
article. At best it would be only partial
victory. The law as it stands Is intended to
protect innocent consumers who would not buy
Oleomargarine if it retained its own peculiar,
nasty white look. IL 1t be unconstitutional,
the United Staues law will still remain and
bogus butter must still be sold for what it Is.
That's the rub!
1t does not matter how Russia would like it,
how the Powers would regard it, or how
France would be pleased-Prince Waldemars s
papa says he really can't allow his son to
accept the offered throne of Bulgaria, and that
settles it. The Bulgarians must now look
around for another ruler. How would it do for
them to keep on looking indefinitely The
present provisional government is doing very
we'll. Why not establish popular government
and be done with putting trust in princes
Why should Bulgaria care about the Treaty OF
Berlin if none of the Great Powers lives up to
the spirit Of ii
The accidents Of Thursday and yesterday In
Aaueduct shafts Nos. % and "a are worthy OF
note as being about the only two for which
some responsibility does not rest upon the
contractors. These men were killed by pieces
of rock loosened by the blasts. but which did
not fall Immediately. If no one would go near
the SPOT where blast has been recently set of
for week or two, or even for several days,
danger of loss of life in connection with this
would be greatly lessened; but
the aqueduct would not be finished soon. IL Is
dangerous work at best, and, occasionally al
least. accidents will occur with nobody TO blame.
The manufacturers of knit-gOods IN THIS
State aave refused the basis of settlement
offered by the Knights of Labor with view
of ending the lamentable strike and lockout OF
the kDitters. They could not DO otherwise, as
every fair minded man who wants to manage
his own business must admit when he learns
what the Knights proposed. That was to re-
instate all tho former employees and suspend
the men who have taken their places until the
latter have made peace with the trade organi-
cations whose orders they have disobeyed,
meaning, apparently, the knitters at PbilmOnt
vho threw up their Knights charter rather
