THE condition Of the streets yesterday
when the thaw set in alter Mondays snow
storm, were anything but agreeable, and
the crossings on the principal thorough
fares were almost impossible. The almost
impossibility of keeping streets in decent
condition under such circumstances Is
recognized; but in a city of nearly one hun
bred thousand inhabitants it does seem
that the proper authorities might at least
keep the main crOssways clear Of slush.

Extra Precautions for Health.
Nav York Tribune,l

The public was warned by physicians last
spring that the enfeebling effects OF the open
winter and of ''the grip" would probably be
felt for long time, as many constitutions
mad been 30 undermined that the first at
tack OF disease would meet with feeble re-
sistance. There have been many lndlca-
tions Of the correctness OF this prediction
all through the summer and fall, but there
was a warning note on Sunday night which
should be needed. At the close of the first
really cold day of the winter three men in
New York and Brooklyn went into the
frosty air and thence into heated rooms, and
dropped dead without any warning. This
NAV be only a coincidence, but extra precau-
lions this winter can do no harm.

purchasing four per cent. bonds at high

Charles A. Dana.
NAV York Herald.l

With this gentleman in the Senate we
should feel that all our interests were In
good hands.
First, and best of all. he Is man OF
genius. tact and talent, thoroughly posted
on all subjects which call for debate,
ready and graceful speaker and firstclass
thinker.
Second, his well earned fame as editor OF
the sun. the Nestor Of American Journalism,
is the result OF business qualities and
scholarly habits which would have telling
effect on the great deliberative body OF the
nation.
And third, he has always welded large
irnuence over public opinion, because he
has strong convictions and knows how 10
defend them with unfinching courage.

Original Package Decision.

The decision of the Supreme Court OF the
United States in the original package cases
announced no new law so Tar as THIS state is
concerned.
When the liquor license law OF March 81,
1856. was enacted it was expressly provided
that the act should not apply TO importers
selling wines, brandy, liquors or ardent
spirits in the original bale, cask, package
or vessel az imported, and said importers
sball be returned. classed, assessed, and
licensed rs provided by the revenue laws.
The prldciple announced in original
nackage cases will cover the dealers IN
oleomargarine. The demands of the people
cannot be satisfied by arbitrary laws.

besides older vessels Of the more antique types.
