 The Ladies' Health Pratective association of New York oity has dons> much needed work. Its persistent efforts haSA caused the abolition of the bone boiling esta6fSshment, the notorious improvement in slaughter houses, and other wholesome reforms. 1t, has reduced the 200 "country milk' COWS long kept confined at s9th, 93d and 94th streets to ten only, and has now fully awak- ened public interest on the subject of school hygiene. The last week has brought out some startling developments in this diree- ton. The First avenue slaughter and rend- ering houses are taking their turn; and if they are not properly supported by the board of health these women mean to go beyond the board, for there is 8 feeling that the measures of the latter are none too stringent, and as ''nothing succeeds like success" the thoroughly good work of the association in it's four years of existence has won the confi- dence and grateful recognition of many of the citizens of the metropolis.
 Babies are becoming unpopular in New York city. The Nov York World feels moved to remark: Persons having houses to rent are prejudicsd against them, while the owners of many flats will not accept tenants at any price who have been 50 imprudent as to become burdened with offspring It may be noted that several arrests have recently been made of boys who have been so depraved as to toss ball in the streets, while the evil of marble playing in several high toned guar. ters has been entirely suppressed. Hotel keepers will now admit children only under severe restrictions. Since the courts have taken the matter up developments are likely to follow which will convince the most skep- ticsl that there is an organized movement to abolish children in the city altogether. A law excluding them and also prohibiting births in the municipal limits would bear hard at first on the poorer classess, but it would have favorable effect upon suburban property and relieve the minds of those citi- zens who seem to regard the existence of children as kind of personal insult to themselves

THE PLArFORm.

They are making progress at Chicago. The
 platform adopted yesterday was good one,
 but it is perhaps fair to say that it was too
 much of good thing. Party platforms do
 not need to be as long as presidents mes
 sages.
 Of course that part of the platform which
 will be read with the most interest is the part
 relating to the tariff. It is 50 plain that even
 the wayfaring Democrat need not misunder-
 stand it. It is suncompromisingly in favor of
 the American system of protection. It de-
 neunces the Mills bill as destructive to gen. eral business. It points out that the aban-
 donmeu of the protective policy has always
 been followed by general disaster to all inter
 ests, except those of the usureE and the
 sheriff. And 1t continues: The Republican
 party would effect all needed reduction of the
 national revenue by repeating the taxes upon
 tobacco, which are an annoyance and burden
 to agriculture, and the tax upon spirits used
 in the arts and for mechanical purposes; and
 by such revision of the tariff laws as will tend to check imports of such articles as are pro
 duced by our people, ,the production of which gives employment to our labor, and release from import duties those articles of foreign production (except luxuries) the like of which cannot be produced at home. If there shall still remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government we favor the entire repeal of internal taxes rather than the surrender of any part of our pro- tective system, at the joint behest of the whisky trusts and the agents of foreign man ufactures.
 Other important matters are ftly and periodically treated. Hostility is declared to \ the introduction into this country of foreign | contract labor and of Chinese labor. The political power of the Mormon church, as ex- | ercissd in the past, is declared to be menace
 to free institutions, danger no longer to be suffered. Appropriations are demanded for
 the early rebuilding of our navy; for the con- struction of coast Notifications and modern ordnance and other approved modern means of defense for the protection of cur defense Iess harbors and cities; for the payment of l just pensions to our soldiers; for necessary l works of national importance, in the improve. mene of harbors and the channels of internal, coastwise and foreign commerce; for the en- couragement of the shipping interests of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific States, we'll as ! for the payment of the maturing public debt.
 ''This policy will give employment to our I labor, activity to our various industries, in- ! crease the security of our country, promote I trade, open new and direct markets for our produce and cheapen the cost of transporta,- tion." And civil service reform gets some good words.
 As a whole the platform is a strong and
 plain statement of the principles of inc Re | publican party. It will commend itself to .he | good sense of the voters.

The ScandiAavians in the northwestern States are getting naturalized in great num- bers in preparation for the national election crats among them.
 The Buenos Ayres Standard announces that 300, 900 negroes from the United States, with capital of $2, GOO, 900, are about toemi- grate to that republic and form an agricul- tural colony in the Chaco. Bosh. The ne- groes are better of here than they would be in tho Chaco and they know it.
 Dean Burgon, of Chichester, was recently speaking on the nature of man as distin- guished from the orders of creation. tMan, !" he remarked, ''is progressive beng; the others are stationary. Think, for example, of the ass! Always and everywhere it is the same creature, and you never saw and never will see more perfect ass than you see at the present moment.n
 The Republican convention at Chicago granted to Dakota and Washington territo- ries the full representation to which they would have been entitled had they been made States as they desire to be- This adds ten members from Dakota and six from Washington, in place of the usual two each, to the members of the convention, and in figuring on the whole number of votes this fact must be taken into account.
 The stheathen Chinee'' is sharp one. Ever since the passage of the law excluding Chinese immigrants there has been steady increase in the Chinese population of the Pacific coast, though many Chinamen are constantly leaving there for tke States lying east of the Rocky mountains. The facts in the case are explained by the Vancouver papers. It appears that bodies of Chinese immigrants cross the Pacific in vessels run ming between Hong Kong and the ports of British Columbia, and that many of them surreptitiously cross the American border on their way into the United States.
 The theatrical business of this country is Q big one. Theresare 3, 1o7 cities and towns in the United States that possess theaters or halls for theatrical uses. The number of such sheaters in the United States is 4,02S. Their seating capacity accommodates 3, 164,- 900 spectators. That is about one person in every twenty of the population. The amount of money paid by the people in support Of their dramatic entertainment averages not | less than ST ,423, ,000 per week. As theatri- cal season covers at least thirty weeks, we
 may take it for granted that more than $20o,-

A woman's shrewdness.


 Who was it said that no woman inveated anythinga It was untrue, anyhow. A woman an.be ingenious when it seems to her worth while. A curious device for in creasing the business of barroom has lately been put in practice in a number of saloons. A bright silver dollar is glued fast to the floor in front of the bar. A man comes in to order drink, discovers the coin, desires to pick it up and pocket it without being seen, and to that end gives the bartender bill in pay ment for his beverage, so that he may have time, when that person turns his back to make change. to pick up the dollar from the floor. But the bartencer manages to shorten the opportunity so much that the man can not stoop quickly enough to touch the prize. So he orders another drink and tries again. Perhaps he spends three or four times as much as he intended to before he is able to touch the dollar, and to find out that he cannot detaeh it from the boards. Then he sneaks out quietly or laughs over the trick, and in either case the extra patronage has been gained for the saloon, while the dollar remains safe for furthur service. But what was it that Bowery woman did when her husband thld her of the trieka She provided herself with a sharp-edged tack-puller' and made round of all the groggeries in her neighborhood where the dollar dodge was being worked. She bought one glass of beer in each place, neatly pried up the coin while the barkeeper was making her change for her, and went on to repeat the operation dozen times.
