Will the Day Come !?
Lawrence Record, Rep.

the ACCnlSOn CnalnpIOIi, WIICcS VIC
following stirring sentences:
"Victor Hugo wrote that he be-
lieved the time would come when
the world would behold the end of
prostitution for women f; the end of
starvation for man the end of night
for the child, the age Of brotherhood,
concord and dawn
"But how slow is it's approach. Civ
lization is at it's highest point in the
history of all the earth Christiani-
ty unfolds it's banner in nearly every
land and isle of the sea- Wealth has
multiplied to such marvellous sums
that finite mind cannot compute it.
Rich cathedrals and hanpsome
churches raise their lofty spires to
kiss the clouds, but grim want and
hunger darken the doorway Of myr-
lad homes and despair haunts the eyes
: and chills The hearts of thousands.
"Less than fifty men and women in
the city of New York are worth a
thousands million dollars. Think of
it Car loads Of gold. Yet in that
city hundred thousand people were
turned into the street because they
could not pay their rents in 1892.
More evicted tenants in one district
in New York than in all Ireland. The
rich man is growing very rich, the
poor man very poor.
"Hush Don't touch upon these
topics. To speak of these things is
to be an agitator to lose caste, to
be looked upon as disturber OF the
existing order of things to go
counter to established platforms.
Three years ago in that great city
of New York twenty per cent of all
those who died were inmates of hos
pitfalls, insane asylums or workhous-
es, and nearly one-tenth of all who
persisted in that city were buried in
the Potter's Field. A thousand mil
lion dollars in the hands of fifty citi.
zens, and thousands perishing from
hunger, thousands of innocent girls
driven by sheer desperation to lives
of shame ; mothers dying; fathers
out of work, children starving and
harvest for Potter's Field ! But the
thousand million dollars keeps right
on increasing Death may come;
the smiles Of childhood may fade
away the hearts of thousands of
human beings may break, but greed
survives and fattens and interest
goes on forever.
Twill the day ever come? Will HUI
manity ever see the dawn pc rtrayed
by Victor Hugo ?
mot so long as dollars are worth
more than men aud women and chill
dren. Not while Greed and Avarice
and Gold rule the land. What is
man. that thou art mindful of HIM !?

FALLING PLUMS.

The long agony Is really over and the
Presidential plums in New York are
about to fall into uplifted hands OF
the fortunate applicants who have found
favor at Washington.
The names already mentioned are OF
the Anti-Snap order. and II would seem
that the Administrations policy Is to
follow UP the recent defeat OF the
bosses that be by pushing them down
still further and replacing them by bosses
that are to he.
For Surveyor OF the Port, the most
prominent candidates are Senator Nc
Clelland, William A. Poucher and Rob
ert Grier Monroe. All are Anti-Snappers.
But Robert Grier Monroe Is the politi-
clan who assumed 90 peddle the Federal
patronage in this State before election
and TO impose the condition that Demo-
Gratis would desert the regular Demo-
cratic organizations and promise TO vote
against their candidates. He demanded
az Judge Pryor's son as a condition of
appointment to Office n pledge that
he would renounce Tammany. He as
sumed to pledge Fedora post-offices to
Richmond County Democrats provided
they would forswear the regular Demo
cratic organization. His appointment
would imply a desire OF the Presidents
part not only to build up an Anti-Snapper
organization, hut TO destroy the regular
Democratic organization.
The appointments may be announced
at any moment.

AN ADHESIVE OFFICIAL.

Mr.. Lyon. the holding-on Surveyor of
the Port. is evidently OF a combative
temperament. When the Fairchild Com
mission was appointed Mr.. Lyon refused
to recognize Its authority. When It was
proposed to investigate the Surveyors
department again the defiant roar OF
the Lyon was heard.
Some time ago Mr.. Lyon rendered his
resignation TO the Secretary OF the
Treasury. Now It Is accepted. but Mr..
Lyon refuses TO get out. He declares
his intention OF holding on to the Office
until his successor is appointed 4 duly
qualified.
After that. II will be seen whether the
adhesive Surveyor nnds some technical
ity through which he can question the
regularity OF the appointment or the
qualification Of the nppointee. He be-
longs TO the class who seldom die and
never resign.
Tie Treasury Department laughs Mt
the claim OF Mr.. Lyon that Justice "a
his bondsmen, whose BOND is for 5000
demands that he shOuld refuse to give IN
his office to anybody but his duly dual.
flied successor. and simply reiteratos its
request &c the ex-SLrveyor TO get out.

WOMAN AND HER TELLING MIND.

At the annual meeting OF the New
York State Woman's Suffrage AssoCia-
ton in Brooklyn Yesterday, Mrs. Jeans
Brook Grecnleaf proudly asked, among
other questions. II II had lever dawned
on the thought Of columbus that n NO
man would ever stand up before the poo
pie and tell freely what her wishes
were?'
Columbus IS dead, OF course. and ~"

now doing its hit in oblivion, hut rs this
is the columbian year, and everybody Is
saying n good word for the d]iscover"r
Of America. We feel that it is our duty
to inform Mrs. Greenleaf that Chris had
some experience with the fair sex. and
so must have known that she could
stand up and distribute pieces of her
mind with n liberal tongue IN any crowd
anywhere.
Columbus ~as married twice. Mrs.
Greenleaf. Isn't that fact sufficient
to let a flood Of information In on the
dawn hat gilded his thought concerning
the future of w~omanhood? He had only
one wife at q time, 1t is true, but one
at a time is enough for any man. no
matter how brave he is or how expert
mental and haz "a rdous he dares to make
his home existence.
ono wife can tell her mind freely
enough to satisfy and drive crazy the
easiest going and most good -natured Of
husbands. Two Of them must have done
wonders for Chris's dawn OF thought,
and It Is decidedly unfair. at this late
day. and In this clarifying memorial

dead. to reflect upon his sagacity, intel
ligence. and sanity, by asking II he had
dreamt that woman could ever tell her
mind freely.
Smaller men than Columbus have
found II out to he so. And away back
In the haze of history Socrates and a
few others had samples Of woman's
freedom of speech that made their hoary
old hairs stand on end with admiration
or something else. So you see this thing
Is not SO new as you think 1t is, Mrs.
Greenleaf.

TO PUNISH MKANE.

The people are waiting to know what
Gov. Flower Is going to do about II.
Mr.. Gaynor. who was elected to the
Supreme Cour by the same electors who
drove Maynard from the Court Of APP
peals bench. has written the Governor
a letter calling his attention to his
pronunciamento on the subject Of the
purity of the ballot-boX. setting forth
the la wless acts OF John Y. Mckane and
calling for that persons prosecution and
punishment. To tina end Judge Gaynor
asks that the Governor will appoint one
or more special prosecuting officers for
Kings County. so as to relieve MIR.
Ridgway. the Observation-Disclosures. Of the
responsibility OF sending his old friend
to Jail.
The rousing meeting at the Brooklyn
Academy OF Music last night followed
Judge Gaynor's lead and asked the Gov
ernor to take a hand, through the At
torney-General Of the State, In the pros
ecution of the Gravesend boss, their con-
fdence In their Distrct-Attorney not be-
ing as entire as II might be.
Mr.. Ridgway himself steps in with a
protest and an effort to keep the prose
cution under his own control. He doubts
the authority OF the Governor to appoint
a special prosecutor who could he al
lowed access to the Grand Jury room.
so he kindly offers to appoint as a
deputy to conduct the prosecution n
one Gov. Flower may suggest.
Mr.. Ridgway may be mistaken In this
instance as he was when he advised the
Grand Jury as to their lack OF power in
the proposed Body Indictment Per
haps Mr.. Ridgway never heard OF the
Tweed ring prosecutions?
Up to the present time the Governor
has given no indication of what. in the
language of the late Mr. Tweed, he Is
going to do about II. He may rest as
sured that the peope are in earnest; that
they intend that McKane shall be prose
cuted for his offenses and sent to Jail
n possible. and that there shall be no
protection" in his case. II there is any
difficulty about appointing a special prose
cutor. the Governor certainly has power
to remove the District Attorney on
charges. and after the Body Grand
Jury scandal It ought to he easy to
find justification for such action. es-
pecially at this time, The failure OF the
people to "vindicate' Boody was also a
failure to vindicate Ridgway for his
share in that outrage on Justice.
Come. Governor. the people are INK
ious to hear from you. o screed on
honest elections before the voting was
timely. our failur to act promptly in
McKane's case while the public indigna-
tion is hot is not timely and Is a disap-
pointment to the public. Now. really.

about It?

In cases where fencing Is adopted the
question OF costume may be left to in
dividual taste. That OF the figure Of the
victorious girl may be taken as about the
best guide. A loose-fitting skirt Of any
suitable material reaching to below the
knee. so as to allow of freest motion;
an easy-ftting body, corsets loosely
laced. a papier-mache vest, covered in
front with leather, and this part of
the outfit is complete. Such a costume
may be worn either at home or at the

APRIL WEATHER."

Sol Smith Russell produced another
tailor-made play at Days Theatre last
night and showed that he. at any rate,
has confidence in himself. This latest
play was April Weather" by Clyde
Fitch. who, like other playwrights, has
fancied that he could fit Mr.. Russell's
seemingly facile figure. You can fancy
Russell's instructions as follows: Young
man. remember that | am quaint, en-
core quaint, and ~toujors quaint. l have
got to be quaint through three acts. no
motter what happens. II ! committed a
murder. ! should be quaint. so. for good
ness sake. give me a play without gore"
Mr.. Fitch was. OF course. hampered by
this aggressively quaint star. who APP
peals to you when you see him first as
charming. and ends by growing tedious.
He has woven for him in April
Weather" a highly conventional play,
that is meant to he humorous and pa.
thetic. yet never reaches the spring of
genuine humor. or goes beyond purely
theatrical pathos. 1t Is a STACEY affair
with no simple vestige OF anything that
might be construed into a CLEAN of
originality. ~Self-sacrifce Is the %ennobling
theme of april Weather" which tells
the story of a poor painter. deeply In
love with a young woman whose hus-
band has left her. She has every reason
to believe that the husband Ia dead, and
as he was under n cloud when he left
her she turns to the painter. This pa
thetic person has cared for her and her
children. and when he beGs her to marry
him she consents Tor the sake OF the
children. The husband returns in due
course naturally. Equally naturally he
proves that he was not n villain, but had
suffered to spare a guilty father. The
painter meets him, and after a struggle
with himself determines to be noble. on
what was to have been hts wedding day
he gives the long-lost husband to the
still loving wife.
