THE UOMAN'S REFORNATORY BILL.

4 CRYING evil in our local penal system will
stand some chance of being remeded if Assem-
blyman Sulzcr's Woman'S Reformatory BILL now
on the Assembly calendar should become law.
This measure, supported by the Womans Prison
Association and other worthy organizations, APP

There are now two such institutions in this
State one at Hudson, the other, unfinished, at
Albion, in Orleans County. 4 third, to receive
women from Ncw-YOrk and Brooklyn, has long
been needed. The Elmira RcfOrmatory for men
gives to male fclons under thirty chance of
rescue from a life of crime. But crring girls
over sixteen are swept ruthlcssly from the sta
ton houses into the city prisons the Worihousc

send for a copy at once and show lmmeh1te
and active interest in having it defeated. No
par;isanship, either in the Legislature or in the
Executive Chamber should be allowed to sway
action on this measure, which so good Demo-

attempt by single questionable element OF
society to dictate the law.

WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH TT

Now that the Albany Assembly has voted to
close the New York exhibit at the Worlds Fair
en- Sundays it is timely to speculate on It's action
regarding the pending liquor bill. This phlan-
thropic measure framed by brewers and saloon
Ilcepers in their own interest, as the fine flower
Of this Commonwealth, proposes, among other
things. to grant them absolute immunity from
notice interference on Sundays, and so legazc
the manufacture Of criminals at every hour in
the day, on every day in the year. Besides this
prodigiorls proposition, the arrangements for en-
towering them to compel the town excise boards
to issue licenses, reducing the amount Of bonds
and precluding the forfeiture OF the license right
except after three revocltions. seem trfng bits
of impudence. Indeed, amazement at the for
bearance which stops short here, after graping
so much is forbidden only by the fact that there
is really very little left to ask for.
The spectacle Of Sunday closing at the Worlds
Fair while in this State from the gaping saloon
doors rceed an endless procession of maud
lin reprobates, might invite structures on our
legislative methods not altogether flatterng to
local patriotism. Otto Kcmpncr Of Brooklyn.

One Of the lessons of the street-car strike in
indianapolis yesterday is that it is poor economy
for a city to have a small or insufficient police
force Though indianapolis now claims to have
a population of 10000, it has only 10 pO-
liccmen, force utterly inadequate TO suppress
any widespread disorder. 1t is not easy at this
writing to pronounce on the merits of the strike,
hut whatever they may be, it is obviously the
fist duty of the city authorities to restore law
and order. Doubtless in this as in all other
similar outbreaks, the real sufferers will be the
quiet and law abiding workingmen who have
taken no part in the acts Of violence, but whose
inst grievances will be lost sight of in the in
disnaton aroused by the rioters.

General Dyrenforth, OF rainmaking notoriety. Is

A strong movement is now in progress III
California among those who are interested in the
welfare and prosperity of the State to break up
the huge ranches and ovcrgrown wheat farms,
and to convert them into small holdings Of about
twenty five acres each. This, it is believed, will
have the effect of attracting new settlers Among
the principal promoters Of this new plan for the
development of the State is President c. p.

who, according to the dispatch of our San Fran

purchased large tract in the Capay Valley
which is to be parceled up into twenty -fve-acre
