KINGS FIGHTS TAMMANY
The Brooklyn Men Mad on
 Account of the Veto.
THEY AGREE IN CAUCUS TO SPLIT

The Revolt Began in the Senate and Has, Despite All Efforts to Prevent It, Taken Hold in the House-Mr. Croker to Return to New York-Di1ferent Views of the NIotive-WIIl the Great Organization Finally Triumph?
 NEW YORK. Feb 22.-The revolt against the machine has assumed an az gressive form, and has extended from the Senate into the Assembly. The Kings county delegation, F in number has decided to oppose any charter tinker ing done in the interests of the machine, and will strike the first blow when the Albany bills come up for second reading in the House.
 Dissatisfaction has been widespre ad for more than fortnight, but it was not until late last night that definite action was decided upon.
 A caucus of the Kings county members was held, and it was decided to break away from the machine.
 Col. Quigley appreciated the ex tremely awkward position in which it would place him, holding, as he does, the chair manship of Kings county and the
 
 of the House.
 He pleaded for at least postpone ment, but he was in a helpless minority. and nothing now remains for him to do but to acquiesce in the wishes of his col leagues.
 His course in the matter is rendered all the more imperative by the fact that Hugh Mclaughlin, of Brooklyn, and Senator Mccarthy are in entire accord with the movement, if, indeed, they are not the instigators of it. Kings county might not and probably would not have resolved on this step had the machine recognized it and had the Governor not penned the veto which has made chaos ill the Democratic ranks, but the future can alone successfully disclose the motive. But the Tammany men put this change of heart toward the Estate machine" on an altogether different basis. They take the high ground that it is for the good ol the party. They want MT. Cleveland $ administration, they say, to be success, and it is their duty to do all ill their power to make it so.
 Mir. Croker has started on his return to New York, and Senator Hill Is already on the ground. Whether or not they will be able to prevent the threatened rupture of the State organization remains to be Seen

IT is told of well-known Kentucky colonel that once he invited gentle man to dine with him at Chamberlin's in Washington. Among other things ordered was porterhouse steak with onions. His guest asked to be excused from partalling of this dish. Ut gives me a bad-smelling breath," he said "Never you mind about that" re- marked the colonel. 'Wait till you get the bill; that will take your breath away" The ease with which the colonel changed from host to guest nearly took his friends breath away to say nothing of the stately proportions of the bill.

THE advocates of oleomargarine legis- lation in this state might find some profitable suggestions in bill before the Missouri legislature, one provision of which is that oleomargarine or but terine sold in that state must be colored pink so as to indicate without label that it is only masquerading as butter. But what if some member should follow that with bill requiring all frauds and shams to have their distinctive colors And if such bill should become law, what varied tints and colors might not appear in both wings of the capitol!

Too Many Writers.

When an author writes anything and has it accepted by one of the great mag azines, he is always in fever of excite ment to see it in print, and not infre- quently gets sadly out of patience at the long time that intervenes between the acceptance and the publication of his work. It may help some such to know that one of the articles which ap- pears in one of the January monthlies was accepted and paid for more than twenty years ago. Writers do not often realize that the perplcxing question that confronts most editors of maga- zines, and even of daily newspapers for that matter, is not where to get stuff to fill up with, but what can best be left out in tho crush for room. Many con tribution is turned away from editorial offices, not because it is not well worth publication, but because there is so much ahead of it that the editor does not see any probability of being able to get it in. In the opinion of some pub fishers there are too many good writers for the number of good readers

STRANGE as it may seem, the Japanese stand the cold weather at the Chicago fair grounds better than the Esqui- maux. Although the Japanese come from mild climate, they have not lost days work since they began the con- struction of their temple. Suffering in- tensely, in some cases from frozen ears, they have made no complaints. They are the first of the laborers to begin work and the last to knock off, Naturally they have no love for such an indictment country, and VOW that they will return home as soon as released from their engagements. The Esqui- maux do not show half as much forti- tude, although one would expect them to be impervious to the cold. Since taking up their residence at Jackson Park they have walled all the time over the rigor of the winter, and the only ex- planation is that the American style of heating dwellings admits too much of the outside air for their comfort.

IT has been charged that American life tends to q dull uniformity of char acter rather than to the variety and diff ferentiation that European life is held to present; but those who see the teem- ing east side of New York come to a different conclusion. The immigrant reaches the United States bearing in dress, manners, habits and intellect strong caste marks. If he settles in New York the first thing he does is to get American clothes. This seems to de stroy his individuality, but, as matter of fact, it only removes his most con- spicuous caste badge. After that he gradually learns that a better-dressed man is not necessarily his superior, and this helps to remove the caste mark from his manners.

IT is said in Washington that the champions of the great trusts have lost heart. They recognize the strength of the popular uprising against their ex- actions and feel that congressional action to correct the abuses cannot be much longer postponed. The public hostility to gigantic corporations is manifesting itself so strongly and widely that the politicians cannot ven ture to ignore it. The power of the monopolists to prevent corrective legis- lation is passing away. The complaints of the consumers are rising all over the land. They have found an echo at Washington, and the managers of the great trusts are in dismay.

IN making up his cabinet it is of course the wish of the new president to form an administration worthy of him. self and of the country. He cannot please everybody and therefore he has taken care to please himself. There may be many differences of opinion as to the wisdom of some of the appoint ments. MT Cleveland, however, is the one more than all others who will be responsible for the failure or success of the incoming administration. He will undoubtedly use his best judgment in choosing the active members of his cabinet and the party and the country owe it to the president-elect to give his appointees a fair chance before speaking a word in the shape of adverse criticism.
