One or two propositions have been made in
the Legislature for the repeal of the $40, 900,
600 Worlds Fair bill. II is useless incum-
brance on the statute-book and a cloud upon
the property in the vicinity of Morningside
Park which it was intended to take for Fair
purposes. No good purpose can be served by
retaining it. The Fair has gone from New
York beyond possibility of recall. The bill
therefore should be repealed before the sd-
iournment of the Legislature.

subcommittee of the House Committee
on Elections began yesterday at Little Rock
Ark, TO investigate the murder or Coloncl
CLAYTON, who was assassnated more than a
wear ago while collecting evidence to prove
his claim to the seat occupied by c. r. Brock
inridcc. Our special dispatch shows the
drift of the testimony so far taken. 1t is
understood that the customary Democrat
ic tactics will be resorted to; that witnesses
will be intimidated and the investga-
ton INSTRUCTED in every way. If Mr.. Breck-
inridge has any influence in the district which
he represents in Congress, he should use 1t to
preyent such a course on the part of his sup
porters. No one supposeS that he was prvy to
the assassination of his opponent; but he has
nothing to gain by an attempt to suppress a
part of the truth
Mayor Grant has decided to dismiss the
charges against the Dock Commissioners, which
have been under investigation since November
last. The testimony certainly disclosed a
looseness of administration not to the advan-
tage of the city, and the need of radical re-
forms in the department was made apparent.
Another thing is extremely apparent now, and
one that the taxpayers will not relish. That
is that they will have to foot the liberal bills
which the expensive lawyers employed to de-
fend the accused Commissioners will put IN.
This is one of the great evils connected with
charges against public officials. Whether con-
victed or acquitted, they usually contrive to
make the people pay for their legal expenses.
This is invariably the case if the charges are
not sustained, as. indeed, it ought to be; but
this fact should induce caution in the making
of charges unless there is ample ground for the
belief that they will be sustained.

Editor Romans Column, Morning Call:
A design of most practical character in the
way of work was lately discussed by the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
this city, and given up, because it involved
the labor of mems hands and money to carry
it out, neither of which were to be had for
the purpose.
Soon after there came an anonymous letter
TO the headquarters of the union, evidently
from business man, suggesting The very
same work as the duty of the ladies, appar
emily not doubling that when once the ladies
had the benefit of his superior judi ment
they would be ready to break their necks or
imperi their he alth in their eagerness 10 act
upon his advice. In a postscript he adds in
suit TO injury by making lame apology for
writing without a signature. He Is afraid
it might hurt him in business way. As Mr..
Squeers said of milk and water, Here is
richness" Here is valor, bravery. courage,
all that goes TO dignity citizenship, diluted
so far that all that can be seen of their
quality is the faith that colors the request
that women will do the good work with which
he has not enough character to be identified.
1t Is somewhat questionable how far the
duties and privileges Of the union may ex-
tend. Their lines of work are so numerous
and diversified that their only limitation
appears to be the means of carrying them
on. Given the sinews of war and there is
no gage of battle that will not be taken up !;
but as yet they have no special department.

BARRUNDIA'S DEATH.
Nine. Eckles Justifies Minister
Miner.

Minister Miner Of Guatemala, whose
action in signing the warrant of ar
rest OF General Barrundia led to his
death, has been the object of more
diplomatic correspondence and editorial
comments than it usually falls to the lot of
one single individual to experience. He
has arrayed against him the Barrundia fac
uon In Guatemala, certain portion of the
SalVadorianS, few Mexicans, and has added
10 his list OF political enemies in this coun-
try. But in his favor he has found backing
in the Republicans of Qua temala and the
people OF that country at large, as well as
the diplomateS Of other Central American
countries.
The latest person to come to his support
is Nine Marie Lecroq Eckles, GOT Bush
street. Nine. Eckles, or Mine. Lecroq, as
she was then, was the proprietress of Ell
Gran Hotel at San Salvador for ten years
preceding 1884, and is well acquainted with
the persons who figured in the events of
late years.
-" My only reason for speaking about the
Barrunda affair" she said in an interview
yesterday, is to tell what think about the
injustice OF Miners suffering for the death
OF such seoundrel as Barrundia. | wanted
to say nothing about it, but my husband,
who is an American, told me it was my
duty, since the American Minister was i'll

MS 1dVUr
General Barrundia is polished scoun-
drel, gentleman in appearance, but man
who Will not stop at murder to effect his
ends. Besides, he is very ambitious, and
does not think of the people, his equals. He
first studied for the priesthood, but when
Barrios came prominently before the people
he took up his flag and fought for him.
Later BarrioS was his protector.
=" In 1884 the war was begun for the unfit
cation of the five republics and the next
year General Barrios was killed; lie and one
OF his sons. Immediately General Barrun-
dia went to the State Treasury where there
was but one soldier on guard, and with pis-
tolls in his hands. made the sentinel give
him the keys. he stole S10000,G00 and fled
TO Paris. That is why they call him : a po-
litcal exile
Three years ago the rumor started in
Guatemala that he was going to return to
the country. Everybody protested. His
family, which he in his haste had lett behind,
was lnSulted on the streets, and everybody
said that il he came back the streets would
be bathed in blood and the city pillaged.
When the MenendeZ Government ceased,
and when Guatemala and Salvador were at
war he thought it would be good time to
return and take up with the side most likely
to win but he was killed. All Guatemala
does, as 1t must, delight in his death and the
Americans can rest assured that IN the
death Of Barrundia the world lost nothing.

Self-eXiled embeZzler, a thief who stole

way inferior, since it would reflect upon
himself Neither is it at all likely that tho
Creator would have made woman in any way
inferior, for that would cause the race to
degenerate, which would not be like the
work of Deity. Sin deereed that she should
occupy a low position. and the result has
been that man fell in the scale of being as
well as woman. Down through the ages, in
spite of the sin and tyranny which kept her
down, We still see notable examples OF
women coming up to the same plane of
ability as men and proving that she was

Given equal advantages with man she is
sure to meet the requirements, mentally,

far harder to reform than man in the same
fallen condition. This results only from the

The recent wreck and sale Of the whaling
tender Thomas Pope at Point Hope, which
has caused SO much comment in shipping
circles on account of its quest enable char
acter, has given rise TO five IN laints fi,e
in the United States District Cour5 yester-
day against the schooner Oscar and Hattie
and Foster & Co., h IT agents.
The libel is by w. Ii. Kelly and others,
owners of the schooner Jane Gray, the others
being all Of similar character. La it the
ibellants allege that the Thom Pope, while

made by the masters of the steamer William
Lewis and the brig +. a. Barstow, after
which the captain of the Pope offered her
for sale, tie master of the Lewis becoming
the purchaser for S525 of both vessel and
cargo.
1t is next claimed that the cargo could
have been discharged without danger and
afterward safely shipped to San Francisco,
where, it is alleged, it would have brought
S45, eco or more The transaction is claimed
to have been a fraud upon the libellants.
1t is also alleged that the master of the
Lewis transferred the cargo TO his own VeSSel
and erased all marks so that 1t could not be
identified, and that lie subsequently shipped
it TO san Francisco in the Oscar and Lewis,
consgning it to Foster & Co., which firm is
about to ship the cargo to New Bedford.
The libelants ask for an order ins;ructing
