A Circus Mt the Park Interrupted Befoi
the Riding Was Over.

the Riding Was Over.
Quite a procession was moving up one of
the alleys in Central Park.
1t consisted of three donkeys as demure as
Quakers, three attending small boys, who
were the donkey -drivers and three riders. SO
small that their little legs almost stood out
in straight lines from the saddles. A grin
ming nurse was also an equerry. Three
children, with punches of autumn leaves in
their hands, preceded the procession.
The children astride the donkeys we're
quite fearless, hut looked solemn. One
small infant in white clothes las the reporter
WINS passing wabbled around and nearly slid
off. The bonnie noticed it and gave a jump
for the child. administering q sound box on
the ears to the careless attendant. It was
deserved. If the baby had fopped down on
the asphalt there would have been a funeral
in the family.
The child by whose side the nurse had
been walking began to cry when it found
itself deserted, and the one behind followed
suit. The baby who had almost fallen off
was the only undisturbed member of the cir
Gus. He crowed and aimed dreadful blows
at the donkey with his pink fists.
The nurse whipped him off the slate
colored donkey and then he took his turn at
the weeping.
Take down those other children" COM
manded the nurse.
They Amt finished their ride" said the
donkey boys.
You'd like them to finish it on their
heads, wouldn't you?" said the stout bonnie
jeeringly, and strobe off with her weeping
charges.

ANIMALS and BienniAls.

Tho idea Of biennial elections Of State on
cers and Of members Of the Massachusetts,
Legislature, instead OF tho present annual
system. has been earnestly discussed In that
commonwealth for a number Of years. Tho
older. more conservative. and at the same
time essentially moro radical. politicians
stick as q rule to the present plan, which
seems to them moro democratic, popular.
and consistent with the true theory Of FREQ
government and with constant responsibility
to tho people. Many Of the younger poll
~ticisns, influenced insensibly by certain doc
trinaire and essentially, although perhaps
~unconsclously, aristooratio notions which
arc having a considerable circulation among
the uneducated educated, lean to tho bien-
NAL principle.
Yet the resolves In regard to constitu-
tional amendments directing biennial cleo
lions were defeated in the Massachusetts,
House OF Representatives last week. It Is
unfortunately true that annual elections OF
Legislatures have ceased to be held In many
OF the States. The change Is not ono which
makes for the better, or deserves encourage
ment and approval. There is no moro rea-
son, for instance. why the Now England
town meetings. those glorious exhibitions Of
pure democracy, should be held every March
than that the people OF Massachusetts should
elect their Legislators every November. The
stewardship will not. to say the least, DO less
faithfully managed because a n account OF 1t
has to be rendered every year.
Ademocratic-republican government can
not be too republican-democratic. Anything
that diminishes tho indispensable RESPONSE
bility Of the elected to the electors d.
minishes in. 30 far tho beneicent working
of popular institutions. A strong tendency
toward limiting that responsibility, and
making less direct and immediate the do
pendence Of officials upon those who give
them official life, has for some time been
noticeable. It Is not a tendency that merits
encouragement, and tho Massachusetts
House of Representatives has done well not
to encourage 1t.

At Half Cock.

The Mansion House branch Of tho Nation
al League In Dublin has taken on" itself
to pass a resolution ".condemning tho ac-
ton of the Lord Mayor OF New York in
refusing to allow the Irish flag to be hoisted
Day as an insult to the Irish race through
out the world"
The members Of this exalted branch Of tho
National League nave about as accurate q
comprehension Of Mayor HEwITr's act and
the motive that inspired 1t as they have Of
his present official title. When they come
to read his recent communication to the
Board OF Aldermen In regard to foreign
flags. the foreign population Of New York,
and home rule in general as well as In special,
they will sec that Lord Mayor" HEWITT Is
perfectly right.
He ls, as he says he IL, . Homo Ruler. and
not for Ireland alone. but for tho United
States generally. and this town In partiou-
lar. He believes that this country should
DO ruled by Americans, and, as Americans
may be Irish. German. Scandinavian, Italian.
French, Spanish, Hungarian, Polish. Eng
lish. Scotch. Welsh. and Heaven only knows
Of what and how many other races In
origin or birth. 1t is indispensable that tho
sentiment OF unity which ought to exist be-
tween these men OF various nationalities
should not be parcelled up among them.
This Is a nation of a hundred peoples, but Of
one flag.
Certain hasty though entirely well-mean-
ing persons in Dublin have gone of at half
cock in denouncing Mayor HEWITT for Insist
ing that home rule Is as necessary for this
town and this country - We believe 1t to DO
for Ireland.

Rev. DR.. Dix and the Faith Curists.


The wonderful deeds recently done by the
miracle workers Of the new religion of the
Faith Cure, have evidently arrested the mind
of the Rev. DR.. MORGAN DIX. rector of Trim
ity Church. In the closing discourse Of his
Lenten course last Friday night he spoke
curiously Of the mysteries OF faith and the
wonders OF the invisible world; and, finally,
in referring to tho five sacramental ordI-
nances OF ancient Christianity that are re-
jected by the Episcopal Church to which he
belongs, he gave utterance to tho longing of
his soul In the following words: Greatly Is
1t to be desired that tho right OF JUNCTION as
described by st. JAMES for the healing OF the
sick may some day be restored"
Now. the JUNCTION thus spoken of by the
Rev. DR.. DIX is that which Is described by
st. JAMES In his General Epistle, verses 1878:
is any among you aniictsd' lot him pray. . (.
Is any sick among your let him cal! for the elders Of
tho Church, and lot them pray over him; amounting
him with oil In the name of the Lord; aud the prayer
Of faith shall save the sick; and tho Lord shall raise him
mp; and II he have committed sins. they shall DO for
given him."
This Is the very passage OF Scripture to
which the now religionists OF the Faith
Cure o operating on Jersey City Heights,
appeal for their authority to work tho mira
cles OF which we have given reports in The
SUN. 1t is the promise here made In which
they trust 1t is the junction. or amounting.

ut is greatly to be desired" says the Rev.
DR.. DM, n Of the foremost divines OF
the Episcopal Church In this city. that the
right OF unction for The curing Of b sick
may some day be restored" But in his
study Of The SUN. Rector DI must have
become aware that the Faith Curists Of Jer-
soy City Heights offer proof, or what
seems to them proof, that the miracle
working agencies Of tho Apostolic & hsve
already been restored. At the baptism Of
seventeen canal boatmen and seven Of their
wives in the ice-fringed waters OF our bay
last Monday, he could have seen and heard
the evidence there given Of that restoration.
The woman who. under the operation Of the
faith cure, had been suddenly relieved Of .
malignant disease; the man who had thus
got relief from his paralysis; the husband
and wife who had thus got rid Of their rheu-
matism, and the man thus cured OF chronic
asthma; who testified that seven members Of
his asthmatic family had thus been cured.
would gladly have given Rector DIX an 90
count Of their miraculous experiences.
We presume that 1t was In Wow Of these
experienced, as reported in our columns.
that Rector DIX expressed the desire that
the curative power Of faith might be made
visible among his " people and within the
pale of his own denomination.
Under tho circumstances, It Is evidently
his duty to mako . personal investigation OF
the phenomena which are creating exulta-
ton among tho Faith Curists OF Jersey City

after such an investigation, that the phe-

he SEQ reason for concluding that they are

pen would, in any event. be Of deep interest

1t is well known that previous statutes
against the adulteration Of food and drink
were enacted In difference to the public opin-
ion aroused by a series Of articles published
in the London Lancet. There is reason to be-
lieve that the present agitation for more el-
fectlve measures will also have a Legislative
outcome, as 1t is understood that a bill en-
bodying the suggestions Of the Westminster
RevietD will DO laid before Parliament during
the present session. Should such q bill be-
come a law, its workings will be watched with
more than ordinary interest on this side Of
the Atlantic, where adulteration is acquiring
the proportions OF an epidemic.
