1fIYN1RD'S CRATE JUDG rs.

Referring yesterday to the Bar Association
recommendation to the Legislature that Maynard
| be removed from the Court of Appeals, we re-
| marked that while there was no room to hope
for action by that body based on any such con
sideration as Justice or duty yet it was not i'm
possible thar some instinct of political cXpcdicncy
might move the Democratic majority to do some
thing. This inference was verified almost a
soon as made. Both house, yesterday passed a
concurrent resolution providing that their Jul
dietary Committees shall in joint session conduct
another investigation into Maynard's behavior,
and we shall accordingly have the old straw
threshed over once more Nor will this fail "a
serve useful purposes. 1t cannot be beaten too
often More facts, if not worse ones, will come
out with every repetition. We shall MOI DO sur
prised at any result of the investigation. The
gang may conclude to sacrifice Maynard or may
not They will Wait until it is positively neccS-
sary to do something, and then they will do
whatever seems likely to be least expensive.
In proof Of this. If proof were needed. the
language of the Democratic "lcldcrs' at Albany
is most significant. Cantor, who is certainly a
leader as far As he is allowed TO be, who moved
the resolution for Maynards investigation, and
VINO u a member OF inc tpnUllllt' NniNn - ~
conduct it, is quoted in "The World' yesterday
as saving that the Bar Association acted like a
mob. that its decision was an outrage. and that
he did not believe the Legislature would pay any
attention to it, McClclland, another leader and
another member OF the committee, said that II
WA a partisan. packed jury" which, seeing that
there were seven Democrats on il TO two Rcpub
licans, will appear a most intelligent remark.
Bloodgood third member OF the committee,
has said that Maynards answer il entirely salts
factory that he knows Maynard 10 be fine
man. and that the action of the Bar Assoca-
ton is a crying injustice and an outrage" That
sweet scented lily, Plunktt, could scarcely con-
tain himself at the thought that good men like
himself and Maynard were liable at any moment
to the assaults Of such desperate rufians rs James

Plnkitt, hoarsely, such action is a disgrace 10

GREAT BRITAINS COMING ELECTIONS.
The election Of new House of Commons in
Great Britain is close at hand 1t is practically
certain to occur within the next few months, and
may be precpitated at any time Already the
electoral campaign has begun. The curtain IS
I'D on the last act at Westminster, and Parla-
ment is playing with might and main to the gal
Iery and to the pit. Almost everything done, by
the Government or by the Opposition, il done
with an eye To It's effect upon the popular vote.
The two parties-or perhaps fOur-arc simply
adding the final touches to the record on which
to make their appeal to the country That ap-
real. moreover, is to be made, far more than
ever before in British history, to the common
PEOPLE the masses; not the upper ten thou
sand. but the lower ten million. The working
men hold the balance of political power, and they
know it; and the party leaders know it, too and
their conduct is largely governed by that knowl-
edge. But exactly how this great but nchoate
force will act no man knows and few dare
propheSy The result Of the electoral contest is
therefore in more than ordinary doubt.
Announcement has been already made OF the
estimate of London Times correspondent
who has spent some months investigating care
fully the political condition of all parts OF the
Kingdom, and has given the result Of his OBJ
servations in a score or more OF interesting let
ters In the present House of Commons there
are 3O4 Conservatives, 65 Liberal UnOnists,
215 Gladstonians, and SO Irish Naonalists-67O
in ALL The Governments majority is thus
81, without counting the Speaker. In the new
House. "The Times's' correspondent reckons,
there will surely be 254 Conservatives, AZ Lib
eral- Unonists, 200 Gadstonans and 81 Ma
tionalists The other 81 seats are, he thinks,
doubtful. Should the Government carry them
all its majority would be los. Should Mr.. Glad
stone carry them all his majority would be 20.
Should they be equally divided between the two
the Conservatives would have "A majority OF 10.
1t is interesting to observe that most OF the
doubtful seats are now occupied by the Govern
ment party Thus, he considers the Opposition
sure of holding 2s2 of its SOl seats, leaving
only 10 doubtful while the Government is sure
of only 296 of its $50, leaving 73 doubtful.
There is every reason to believe that this in
yestigaton was made thoroughly and impartial
". and that the figures given are as free az pos
sible from party color, and furnish as trust
worthy basis for speculation as can in such a
way be found.
Conjecture as TO the result OF the election may
also be based on the returns Of by-eectiOns.
In these contests the drift has been heavily
against the Government. At the beginning Of
the present Parliament the Conservatives had
S16 members; now they have 3O4. The Lib
eral- Unionists had H. including the Speaker;
now they have IS. On the other hand the Glad

Barthman, whose reappOintment as a men,
Der of the Brooklyn Board of Education by
Mayor Chaplin was one of the least defensible
things in the latter's career, has put an end to
the scandal caused by his return to the Board
by resisning. The vacancy thus created gave
Mayor Body an opportunity which he was not
slow to improve, as his appointment of Professor
Franklin W. Hooper proves There could not
have been a more admirable selection. His
work in connection with the Brooklyn Institute
has given Professor Hooper large reputation,
and his deep interest in educational affairs will
enable him to render important services in the
management of the public schools of Brooklyn.

punctuality,

Some wiseacre defines punctuality
as fifteen minutes beforehand. All
very wen for those who can afford
TO waste minutes so extravagantly
and very wei, too, if the party of
the second part is not quarter of
an hour behindhand
Women are stigmatized as the
greatest sinners against punctuality,
an accusation so unjust that it must
be met with the scornflll silence
which it deserves. A beautiful leg
end is frequently alluded to in this
connection, IS showing how the un-
punctual habits of one woman led
her husband to utilize the fragments
of time, which would otherwise have
been wasted, in the composition Of a
learned and valuable treatise. That
poor. much maligned woman did
perhaps fail somedmes in her wifely
duty TO be at the head of her table at
the exact hour of dinner.
But when she happened to be on
time and found that her lord and
master was engaged, and was further
pluming himself on taking advantage
of her tardiness, she made point of
giving him daily those precious mo-
ments For her husbands gratifca-
ton she became punctually late, and
thus, with the self effacement of her
sex, allowed herself to go down to
later ages as warning example,

1t may aid our young artists to re
member few simple rules for pro
portion while drawing the human
figure. Eight heads is the correct
height, according to the Greek
standards, for a full grown man or
woman. A line drawn from thigh
to thigh marks the exact half of the
figure. When the arms are fully ex-
tended the distance from tip to tip of
the middle fingers ought to be the
exact height OF a well proportioned
person. The knees should be exactly
half way between the thigh line and
the bottom of the heel.
Standing straight the elbows
should just touch the hips; a hand
should be the length Of chin level to
the hair. A foot should be the
length of the head from the top to
the chin level The chest from one
armpit to the other should be one
fifth of the height of the entire body,
and the distance from elbow to
breast middle should be the same as
from elbow to finger tip. New York
