IN his speech before the Hendricks
club Judge Sullivan expressed a fear
that "the people expect too much of the
new Council and added that "if the
people understood the state of affairs
they will not expect us to do things that
are impossible" Why mott That is
just what the organs and howlers of
Democratic reform have been demand
ing of a Republican Council. They
have been demanding that with a tax
levy and q revenue limited by law the
Council should spend far more money
than it could possibly raise. increase ex-
p~enditures without increasing the debt,
make improvements without increasing
expenses, and other impossible things.
Judge Sullivan and his fellow-Demo-
cratic reformers-Coy, Hicklin, Burns
and others-were elected on the assur-
ance that they would do what had been
demanded of former Republican Coun-
ellis. The Mayor-elect is beginning
rather eally to discount their failure.
What he and his fellow-reformers want
to do is to brace up from now till the
1st of January and then devote them
selves vigorously to the accomplishment
of the impossible, as they are pledged
tn do.

SECRETARY WINDOW is either incor-
rectly reported or else in error in saying
that the policy of the last administra-
ton in regard to government deposits
in national banks ''has not been dis
turbed as yet" We doubt if he ever
said this, and if he did he is mistaken.
The policy of the last administration in
the respect named has been disturbed to
the extent of several million dollars. In
other words, the national bank deposits
have been reduced several million dol
lars under the present administration.
The policy of the last administration
showed an increase in the bank deposits
from so, 716, IA on the 1st of July, 1884,
to S54, 913,4 S9, on the 1st of July, 1855
an increase of S44, 1877, 345 in four years.
The last treasury statement at hand
shows the deposits to be S48, S1S, 991.
This shows a considerable disturbance
of the policy of the last administration,
viz, a steady reduction of deposits in
stead of a steady increase.

THE Sentinel, without attempting to
deny that Mr.. Cleveland was dead
wrong in regard to silver coinage and
in all his recommendations on the SUBJ
ject, says if he was wrong so were Pres
idents Arthur, Garfield and Hayes.
The you're another" style of argument
Is not convincing. Three wrongs do
not make a right any more than two,
and if two or three Republican Presi-
dents erred on the silver question in the
early stages of the discussion, that does
not excuse Cleveland for repeating and
emphasizing their views after time and
experience had shown them to be wrong.
Two of the other Presidents are dead,
and one is out of politics. The counsry
is not so much interested in their finan-
cial views as it is IN those of a man who
still poses as a statesman and aspires to
be q candidate for President. The fact
remains that Cleveland was wrong on
the silver question, and thatif his recon-
mendations in the years 1858 had
been adopted the country would now be
in the midst of a financial panic.

THE talk by the trustees of the Penn

the institution on equal terms has reused
the 1000 male students to a degree of
excitement that finds expression in reso-
lutions of opposition. Their reasons
are, first, that there is no necessity for
c~o-education; second, that c~o-education
would not be expedient and would be
expensive; and third, that for every
woman admitted two men would 60
elsewhere instead of there. 1t will be
observed that these reasons are not of
great weight, and are made less SO by
the statement of a trustee who says the
innovation would not involve expense,
and his further remark that the places
left vacant by boys opposed to CO.
education would be more than filled by
better and more earnest students. All
this talk about the advantages and dis
advantages of co-education has an odd
sound in a region where the system
long since ceased to be an experiment;
but the Eastern mind takes in new
ideas slowly. If the girls fail to get
into the Pennsylvania University this

will open after a while, and those now
opposing will profess to have believed

NEW JERSEY girls are precocious. Little
Annie Green. twelve years of age, fair.
haired and with innocent blue eyes. was
sent by her father, one day last week, to
the village near which they lived to pay
some bills. She did not return till next
day, and was then discovered, wet and
draggled, lying under a railroad bridge not
far from home. She told a pitiful tale of
having been sandbagged by some men, her
pocket picked of the $50 intrusted to her,
and of having been thrown where she was
found. Her family was greatly distressed,
and an effort was made to discover the per-
petrators of the outrage. One of the de-
tectives. however, had doubts, and, obtain
ing permission to talk to the child, who
was under a doctors care, soon obtained
from her a confession that she had not been
robbed, but had gone to New York and
bought a watch and chain and a cloak
with the money. Coming back, she be-
came frightened at possible Tue
and. hiding her possessions under a cul-
vert, placed herself where found, and con-
cocted the tale afterwards told. The as
tonished father refused to believe the con-
fession until a search at the point indicated
disclosed the articles described. The yearn-
ing for finery simultaneously with the pos
session of money had proved too strong a
combination for the juvenile mind and
conscience. Little Annie will not do SO
next time.
