A Pertinent query.


1t may be pertinent to ask why, in the
name of all that is reasonable, Is it any
more dangerous to society for a woman
to neglect certain wifely duties once in
cluded within her sphere of action than
for a man to shirk all home responsible
tiles except that Of growing about the
things the woman leaves undone? Now,
In the humble homes which the man
writer and lecturer extols so eloquently,
where the idear wife looks well to the
ways Of her household, the husband
hndles the fires, sweeps the walks,
splits the kndlings, brings up the coal,
does the marketing and lends a hand on
Mondays.
Who kindles the fires in the city
households?
The maid servant.
Who scrubs the stoop and pavement
The man ervant.
Who mends the broken lock or re-
duces the refractory Hingess
The locksmith.
Who does the marketing and settles
the bills and hears tho growing because
they arc larger than they were last weekf
The wife.
What particular use Is the city hus-
band In tho household anyway?
Just TO pay for things and find fault"
n oxasperated wife says.
And why is II so much moro TO be de-
plored that the wife doesn't do her own
cooking II she a earn moro money at
something else than that tho man should
not make his W trousers and split the
kindlings evenings instead Of going to
his clubS-New York Sun.

THE ELEVATED RAILROADS At ALBANY

This community has suffered much at the
hands of the Manhattan Railway Company. Is
nsciallv has this been true of the abuting prop
erty-owner who. year after year, has by the sly
and clever devices of that company been kept
ont Of the damages which the courts long ago
hold were his due. The series of audaclous acts
by which, in the courts and OUT 'hat company
has appropriated or claimed immunlueS ana
nriyileces granted to no other corporation or
Sljtor are too familiar to need repetition. The
apnarent elimination of this bold resistance to
the enforcement of the injured property
RIGHTS was reached last year at Albany when the
comnonv smrht to obtain tho passage of two
wears statute of limitation, with special refer
once IN slch claims The sudden extinguishing
of this scheme the moment its actual nature was
revealed was sufficiently clear indication of the
legislative as we'll as the public temper toward
such an unjust proposition
But the plans of the company were hidden still
deeper Under cover of an immaterial amend
ment to the Code of Civil Procedure bill was
quietly passed through the Legislature and be-
came law without the Governors signature
that. if allowed to stand unepealed would be
worth hundred times more to the elevated rail-
roads than all the statutes of limitation that
could be enacted. Kidding the amendment OF
legal tcchnicaitios, it provides that equity courts
must send the question of damages in the ele-
waited railroad suits to be tried by juries. The
practical effect seems to be not, as in the case
of the rejected bill, to limit the time within
which property owners may begin actions Tor
damages but TO provide, in effect, that they shall
have no opportunity to try them after they are
brought TO enable the Manhattan Railway
Company to accomplish this purpose, the powers
of the equity courts will be reyolutionized and
materially impaired, and most of the property
owners will DO denied the right to have their
cases heard for many years to come because 20
try them speedily before juries would involve
the suspension of all other trials, and even then
the litigation would be almost endless. 1t IL
difficult TO conceive of a form of a special legls-
aton more vicious or more unjustlable.
L. is not surprising that, as our Albany dis
matches indicate n prompt and vigorous effort
i 10 be made TO secure the repeal Of this law.
Those members Of the Legislature who voted for
thi, amndment 20 Section $40 of the Code OF
Civil Procedure laSC year may justify that action
by their ignorance of the true intent OF the bill
but no such excuse will avail this year in passing
upon IN, repeal. 4 vote agains, repeal Will be
understood to mean a vote in the interest and
in aid of the schemes of the Manhattan Railway
Company against injured property owners. The
bill 10 repeal the amendment should have the UNI
hcs,ating support of all honest and air-mindcd

PUBLIC OPINION IN DUTCHESS COUNTY

1t is evident that the reputable people Of
Duchess County are filed with righteous in
dignation at the members Of the Board Of Super
visors of that county who put up the job which
resulted in the THEFT of the Senatorial seat of
the XVIII District. The honest men of Dutch
css feel-as they cannot help but feel-that these
officials have entirely forfeited their confidence
The aroused public sentiment Of the county
touching this grave matter is well illustrated in
the following paragraph which appears in The
Poughkeepsie Eagle:
A farmer said to MS yesterday morning: "No, | am
not going to attend the meeting OF the Farmers Club
this time in The future unit. 1t purges itself Of
Smith Knapp. He is now vice President, ard 10 man
who values his own selfrespcct win associate with
him. Those eighteen Supervisors who cheated tie
people or tried to cheat them, out Of their rights

Of decent society. ard far as am concerned they
shall be- +. Wright Vail IS another member OF the
club who has had good deal TO say. lie also must
be driven out before will have anything more to do
with f. In fact he is far guilty than Mr. Knapp
bat ne dor, not hold an Office In the club 1t IS not
morally responsible for h.r."
Spoken like an honest, manly man This
Duchcss farmer does not purpose to degrade
himself by associating with lawbreakers who have
done what these whom he mentions have done.
A man is Known by the company he keepsake
does not propose knowingly to keep the company
of persons who have been poried from one end
of the State to another for the atrocious crime
against the ballot-box which was brought home
to them The recent action taken by one Of the
Poughkeepse banks is in line with the course
pursued by this farmer. One Of the directors
of the bank and a candidate for reelection was
one of the tainted Supervisors. The consequence
was that he was defeated by an overwhelming
vote OF the 200 votes cast he got Is. One

NO TRUCKLING TO THE ENEMY.

Tho impatience expressed over the action OF
some Republican Senator'S at Albany last week
is perfectly natural it is morc-it is just. Ihcy
deserve all that has been said about them Tor
their action in voting with the Democrats for
bill so important the Enumeration measure
without insisting upon a careful consideration
of It's provisions, was simply lneXcuSaDie
What we say and what has been SAID
by members of the party here on this
mint APPLIES, of course, particularly TO the
senators whose seats the Democrats are trying
to steal Apparently these gentlemen think that
they nav be able to pacate the political thieves
by trucking to them Their course since the
organization of the Senate seems to have been
based upon that theory. 1t is, we believe, en-
tirely erroneous certainly it is unsafe and unWlse'
If the Democratic leaders are determined TO
carry out their hgh-handed measures, they am
not going to be deferred from doing so ny any
thing short Of absolute submission on me part
of the Republicans whose seats they are AFTER
In other words, the Republican Senators must
become as obedcnt to the orders Of Murphy and
Shcehan as their Democratic opponents would be
if nut in their places. To put it bluntly, the
Republican representatives will have to betray
their party. Is any one of these gentlemen pre-
pared to take such step? If he i, the sooner
thc fact is known the better. We arc inclined
10 believe that the Democratic managers %
not really intend TO steal any more seats at
present. Their own party will stand good
deal of crooked work. but IT will not 60 quite
so far as Mr. >hechan wants to lead 1t. The
aim of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS now is evident
He is simply trying to frightcn Republicans and
compel them TO continue in the very course that
some OF our Senators have so unwiScly embarked
upon. This course should be changed at once
Let the seats be stolen if the Democratic gang
darcs tc steal them but let there he no truck
ling TO the enemy.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1892-01-18

That public sentiment is still strongly stirred
by the outrage upon the people pcrpenated by
the Democrats when they secured control OF the
Senate by deliberate theft, and increased their
control by seating a man defeated by the people
of his district by nearly 1000 majority, is proved
by the emphatic and well-considered statements
made to one of our reporters by ex-senator War
ner Miller and published elsewhere in this issue.
Mr. Miller's arraignment of the Democratic party
of the State is all the more effective because
time for sober second thought has elapsed since
the Board of Canyassers and the Democratic
Senators did their vile work. In this matter
there can be no question that the ex-senator
voices the opinions of the Republicans of the
State generally.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1892-01-18

the better for the welfare of the farmers. 1t
looks now as though in case they stood together
they could accomplish a great stroke OF work
for themselves. by earnest concerted action
they might make such an impression upon public
sentiment as represented in the Legislature that
the refund tax should be expended either IN
radically improving the existing roads in accord
ance with scientific system or olSe in lnaugu-
rating new system of State roads connecting
the comfy seats. II is a golden opportunity for
tho farmers.

Not even the most impacabc foe of monarchicai

Senator Saxton presents strong defence-if
defence were needed. The plain fact is that
the Senators were required TO vote on measure
of which they had been permitted to learn
nothing; they refused to vote "yes' or mo

one self-respecting and intelligent men could
pursue.

The police have caught the man who has
gained the name of "The Slasher" by his free
use Of razor in the Fourth Ward during the last
fortnight. The man was detected in the act Of
using that weapon upon an intoxicated pedes-
TRAN, and he has been identified by one Of his
previous Victims Moreover, he made partial
confession showing that he was guilty OF the
murder of Carson on Friday morning. 1.-The
Slasher' is evidently an insane person, who says
that he is governed by an irresistible impulse
to kill. 1t is good thing that he has been
apprehended.
An important subject of legislation which, it is
understood, will be taken up at Albany soon
as the Enumeration Act is out of the way, is
bill providing for convention to revise the State
Constitution From an Albany letter this morn
ing it will be seen that plan is under con-
sderation 10 provide for minority representation
in the convention, SO that ProhibitiOnists, Social
lists etc, may be able to'elect delegates. The
convention will thus be made representative
body, but so many clashing interests will hardly
conduce to harmony or be likely TO facilitate
the transaction of business.
A reform in the Government printing and
reduction in the cost have been urgently de-
manded for some time. The last Congress ap-
pointed a Joint committee to investigate the
subject, and an exhaustive report has been pre-
pared. As result of the inquiry, it is hoped
that at the present session some measure may be
passed that will put an end to the extravaganza
that has prevailed in this part of the Govern
ment's business. One point of attack will doubt
less be "The Congressional Record" and there
will probably be narrower limit set on the
number of public documents issued. The re-
port of the joint committee, which makes
volume of nearly 500 pages, contains large
amount of interesting and valuable information.
Senator Saxton, in lucid and comprehensive
interview on another page, strongly states the
case of the three Senators who were most alb
snrdly declared in contempt last week The
obligation of every Senator to vote under ordi-
nary circumstances he clearly recognizes but
these circumstances were not ordinary. Mr.
Saxton points out the unfairness of the majority
in adopting few of the rules heretofore govern
ing the Senate and leaving the greater part Of
them for future consideration and says that if
the ordinary rules about the engrossing of bills,
the reference of them to committees and the
consideration of them in Committee OF the Whole
had been in force, the passage OF the Enumera-
hon bill woult have been blocked with ease.
