----------
The vacancies in the Board Of Education
have been filled by Mayor Hewitt satisfactorily.
The appointment of another woman Comms-
sioner ought to cause general qualification
Mrs Sarah II. Powell, who takes the seat de-
clned by Mrs. Rice, is said by those who know
her to be admirably qualified for the place.
While the association of women with men IN
the management of the schools is still in
sense experimental, the experiment thus far
has proved so successful that future Mayors
may wisely resolve to make it matter Of
course.
District Attorney Fellows has been heard
from again. He was before the Board of Esti-
mate Yesterday looking after his appropriation
whether he had abandoned the bribery cases
the Colonel looked greved, and with solemn
and injured air replied that he had not. The
District-Attorney may still have profound con-
Gdence in his own intentions, but that of the
public in him has been ebbing so rapidly that
it has almost reached the zero point. The test
of faith is works, and in works Colonel Fellows
is particularly deficient.
What is by courtesy called the Queens
Speech, read at the proroguing OF Parliament
yesterday was significantly silent on the sub
jet Of Ireland. When Parliament convened
on February 8. the address from the throne de-
clared that the measures relating to Ireland
passed at the previous session had been care
fully carried into effect" Perhaps the same
idea is still entertained and doubtless Mr. Bal
four would agree that his administration is a
careful" one. But this species Of care is not
calculated to foster peace and content in the
island or to engendcr loyalty to England in the
Irish heart.
Faith in De Lesseps is so Astounding in Pan
ANA that little needed to revive it after
the news of the collapse reached the lsthmus.
The bare announcement that provisional man.
ayers had been appointed, and that bill had
been introduced postponing the payment of the
company's liabilities was sufficient according
TO Panama advices of the l 9Th inst, TO quiet
all anxiety and restore perfect confidence"
Something Of the same disposition to regard
DE Lesseps as a martyr is observable in France.
Evidently the Counts name is still one TO con-
jure with, but the victims of blind faith in him
must face the truth ultimately
Fourteen of the Aldermen have at last voted
in favor of giving the Harlem Railroad Com
pany permission to use electric motors on its
stseet~csr tracks in Fourth-aye- and other
