BLOODHOCNDS as DETECTIVES.

The idea of employing dogs for military pnr-
poses is becoming familiar, though no opportu-
nifty for testing their utility practically has yet
arisen But the notion that bloodhounds may be
used TO track murderer In the crowded streets
of a great city appears to belong exclusively to
that amazing British Police Commissioner, Sir
Charles Warren The natural suspicion that Sir
Charles does not know much about bloodhounds
has been strengthened by the methods OF trying
their capacity adopted by him. or course taking
dogs into the open country has no analogy with
testing them in the crowded streets OF White
chapel; but the results OF the country expert
ments should have opened the eyes OF the London
police to the preposterousness OF the whole pro-
ccedng. Even in the fields it was found exceed
ingy easy TO confuse the hounds and 10 break and
entangle the scent. They not only exhibited no
preternatural sagacity, but in several respects
they acted with more than average stupidity IL
was in fact, apparent, after one or two trials,
that there certainty about their ability
TO track a fresh and undisturbed trail,
and yet Sir Charles has stubbornly perscvercd IN
what he is pleased TO regard the training OF
the dogs.

mysterious manner, and will have 70 be hunted
for in their turn before they can be employed IN
hunting the Whitechapcl murderer, it is possible
that Sir Charles may conclude to abandon the
fad But in any case it must long since have
been clear to all who have any knowledge OF
bloodhounds that the attempt TO use them as con-
templated was thoroughly impracticable We be-
lieve there is no instance ON record OF these dogs
succeeding in tracing any one in city, nor should
il be expected that they could perform such
feat There are indeed many dogs who can hnd

police possessed any article or garment peiohg-

A HOTSEHOID JNFLTCTJON

We lately entered calm but earnest pro-
test against the Disagreement of city streets
by waste paper litter, and specified among the
chief offenders those merchants who employ
agents to thrust upon pedestrians circular ad-
vertisements which, if glanced at at ALL are
forthwith scattered along the pavements. There
is another kindred nuisance which has recently
assumed caamtous proportions, and which
threatens TO make domestic life almost unbear-
able to housewives and servants. We refer to
the delivery of these same circulars at flats and
private residences. In apartment houses where
hall-boys stand guard at the entrance, proper
display of discernment and decision may avail
to ward off the evil, but where a door-bell is
the only means Of communication between out
side and inside, and the industrious distributor
possesses the assurance TO stuff his documents
into the letter-box or deposit them in the lobby.

Our Washington correspondent sums up IN
q striking way this morning the extraordinary
efforts which the Democratic managers are
putting forth to collect money to run the cam
paign. 1t is estimated that the enormous ag-
gregate of 81 500, coo is to be squeezed out OF
the oficeholders More than this, the saloon
keepers of Washington are called on to con-
tribute for Cleveands reelection, and as IN
this State, they have arrayed themselves solidly
in support of the Democratic party. The
picture is not a pleasing one to contemplate.

The last few days have been extra ordinarily
prolific IN railway casualties. The list is
heightened to- day by two accidents Zone at
Washington Penn, the other at Freeport, No.
both OF which resulted fatally Why such an
epidemic should occur at this time is an inter-
esting question, but one not easy to answer.
Ordinarily it is believed that the safest time to
travel is Just after a terrible accident. That
has not proved 80 in the present instance.
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt's address to the Re-
publcans Of this city in behalf Of Colonel En-
hardt is brief but weghty. 1t deserves not
only to be read, bnt to be studied and p0ndered.
Mr.. Roosevelt makes two points with remark
able clearness. One is that if all the Repub-
cans who supported the State ticket of their
party in 1885 had voted for the Republican
candidate for Mayor, Mr.. Roosevelt would have
been elected by a plurality Of 5000. The
other is that the Republican opportunity now
is much better than two years ago. because
there are four candidates for Mayor instead Of
three. These statements are incontestabe.
MIR. Roosevelt's terse and able argument leaves
no room for any Republican to desert his party
on the local ticket this year.
Republican County and City conventions were
held in Brooklyn yesterday and excellent NOM

to be filed in that city are those of Register and

was nominated for Register, is one of the
strongest and most influential Republicans in
Kings County. He has been chairman of the
County Committee more than once, and enjoys
the confidence of every Republican in Brook
lyn. Police Captain Kaiser, who received the
nomination for County Clerk, is well known and
popular and will be sure to poll large vote
The city ticket is also strong one. The NOM

THE complications of the marriage ques-
ton in New York state continue to in
crease. A decision has just been rendered
in, Middletown holding marriage to be
valid where woman had a p' evious hus-
band still living from whom she had never
been divorced. The first husband had de-
serted her and his children. After some
years she, assuming him to be dead, mar
ried happily man of property who, dy-
ing, left her and her children by her first
husband (she having none by her second)
his heirs. subsequently the first husband
turned up, and the natural heirs to the
property tried to dispossess her by proving
the second marriage bigamous. Its val
idity, however, was confirmed.
