THE QUESTION OF LUNCH.

description of the rooms at 116 Davis
street. where the Young Women's Christian
Association provides lunch for working girls
for cents, was highly appreciated by the
readers Of last Sundays CALL. Such an insti-
tuition has been much needed. and the ex-
periments which have been made in the
same direction in Eastern cities should
teach its founders how 10 accomplish their
object There are a score or more of cheap
lunchrooms for working girls in New York
which, after protraeted struggle, have now
been placed on permanent basis.
Such institutions. to be abiding and use
full, must be selfsuppoTting They cannot
accomplish their purpose il they are depend
ent on individual benevolence. That is
Withdrawn some day, and the lunehroom
goes with it. At the same tine, the prob
lem Of serving lunch of wholesome food
for cents, or dish of mutton stew, or
Spanish stew, or soup, or pork, for 2 cents
would stagger the most experienced COM
missariat officer. Il has been found in New
York that lunch cannot be furnished at
price which underpaid working girls can
afford without showing a deficit in the
accounts of the lunchroom at the end Of the
month. But it has also been found that a
VERY SiBhA IDDutulg Ddy cut ny 6dcU SuD-
scriber to the lupchroom would cover the
deficit. This discovery made, the founders
Of the New York lunchrooms gave out that
they would charge monthly dues Of so
much. Unfortunately the scheme was a
novelty. Girls we're slow 10 subscribe.
The sum taken in for dues fell short
Of the sum expected and was less than
the debit balance on the caterers books.
1t was then that young lady, whose heart
is as big as her fortune, and whose wits are
as bright as her eyes, hit uroD the solu-
ton of the problem. She agreed to take a
few lunchrooR6 under her protection. and
10 hold hes4omesesponsible temporarily for
the monthly aehcit incurred. She wished
il to be distinctly understood that her be-
nevOlence was 10 be temporary only. She
reserved the right Of Withdrawing il when
she pleased. IT, after aiding lunehro0m for
a given number of months, it was SIN not
self-supDorting, she said that she would
conclude the working girls at thatReighbor-
hood did no. want such an Institution, she
would cease to contribute and the room
would close its doors.
The effect of this policy was to make
every girl in the locality an active dramm or
for the lunclroom. and the managers of one
after another were able to report that their
rooms were self-sustaining. Then the lady
patroness relieved the working girls OF any
sense OF obligation by transferring her
benefaetions to another room elsewhere.
That is an example which the ladies of the
Young Women's Christian Association will
do we'll 10 study. They will derive benefit.

A BILL OF IMPEACHMENT.

A resolution looking to the impeachment
Of the State Board of Railroad Commits
sioners is now under consideration in the
Assembly. The "whereases" are sufficient
in number and force TO warrant the CON-
mencement of impeachment proceedings.
But there is danger in a double movement
on the part of the people. There is one
movement to legislate the commission out
of existence through constitutional amend
ment, and the Introduction of the bill OF
impeachment On It's face proposes to accom-
plish the same thing by different method.
1t might be better to concentrate the force
in opposition 10 the commission into a
single channel The Traffic Association Is
pledged to the constitutional amendment
method, and that association is the power
behind all eIovements having for their OBJ
jeet the reduction OF railroad charges. I'M
parchment proceedings are rarely success
full. 1t is difficult to prove the corrupt
motives that are essential to a verdict OF
guilty. The commission may admit that
they have done nothing and plead that they
had looked into the ease and found that
there was nothing TO do. Bot if the people
propose simply to dispense with the services
Of hoard of commissioners who can find
nothing to do there is no appeal. in so
doing the people are only exercising their
just powers.

THE TRIAL IN PARIS.

The reader viii 6ud ia another column
an account Of the opening of the trial of
Charles de Lesseps. director, Marius Fon-
tame. secret aTy, C0tfu, financial agent, and
Gustave E.1el. engineer of the Panama
Canal Company, on the charge OF obtaining
money on false pretenses, IN the shape of
subscriptions to Panama canal stock and
bonds. The prosecution has had ample
time TO collect evidence. and if one-teHth OF
what has been p.inted proves to have been
founded on fact it is hard to see how the
trial can fail to end In a conviction. De
Lesseps and his friends were desperate.
They had lost their own money and the
money Of every one they could influence.
Their only chance Of salvation rested upon
their getting more money TO complete the
enterprise It was but natural that they
should exhaust every effort 70 procure that
money. When q man Is cOrnered he will do
anything.
The dispatches from Paris harp upon the
COMPLETELY of members of tie Government
IN the frauds. Nothing has thus far trans
spired which warrants suspicious of the
probity Of President CarnOt OF any member
Of his political family. That members of
the Chamber took brides. and that their guilt
was shared By some individual members
Of tie innumerable administrations which
France has lately had, is likely enough,
though the assertion Of Henri RocheioTt
that a hundred Deputies received checks is
likely TO create a presumption Of their in
n0eence. II is always safe TO assume that
Rochefort IS lying. It is due TO truth TO
say that the President and his Cabinet have
acted throughout this affair with eandor and
iutTepidIty, as men who were confident Of
their innocence 81. CaTuot offered no OBJ
lection TO the arrest Of his friend and con-
hdant Bsihut, and Bourgeois, Minister Of
Justice, stated officially to the Panama in
yestigatlng committee that the defendants
Would be allowed to make any exposure
they could OF the corruption Of public men.
That is the language Of man who knows
that his skirts are clean.
The press dispatches which enict revo-
luton and bloodshed in Paris are equally
unreliable. There : no present likelihood
of anythip~ ~JI che kind. The people are
quiet. The police report no revolutionary
plots General SausSier. the commandant
OF Paris is a cool and res0lute soldier, and
he has an ample force under his orders. So
long as be and they stand firm there is no
more chance Of revolution in Paris than
there is IN San Francisco. An attempt TO
overthrow the Government Of the republic
would be crushed in few hours. and the
parties who would be likely to embark in
such an enterprise are well aware of the
fact. 1t is possible that the Panama
scandal may leave the French Government
stronger than it is. It now has the oppoT-
tunity by wise use of pc weT to destroy the
eorruptionists. With success ia this diree-
ton the republic Will attain a position of
peTmanenev

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

The New York Worlds description of
the Democratic situation in New York is
somewhat lurid, but there is still little
doubt Of a fight against Cleveland by the
friends and followers of Hill Murphy is
Hill's candidate for Senator, and when the
electors met to cast their vote for President
they first declared their preference for Muir
ply. Tie significance Of this action is the
greater since it was entirely voluntary.
The electors we're not chosen to take any
part In the Senatorial contest. They went
out OF their way to administer rebuke to
the man they were about 20 vote for for
Pres dent, and after rebuking him they
voted for him. The cause of this war
among Democrats may easily be traced to
the dinner at which Cleveland was the
guest Of Tammany. The assurances which
were then given by the candidate have
been differently interpreted. Tammany
construes them to mean that the Federal
patronage falling to New York was TO be at
the disposal Of that organization. Cleve-
Land says no assurances were given which
wouid warrant such construction. He is
doubtless correct ia the statement that no
promises were made. Certainly nothing
was reduced to writing. Each wing of the
party was IN Sucn nted Oh the olDeI mat
neither dared TO be explicit in its demands.
The fight as it stands is something like
that between Garfield and Conkling. re-
suItlDg from the Mentor meeting between
the two about two months before the cleo

was in perfect harmony with that of The
SOC delegates who voted III convention for
Grant through several days without the lose
of man. All over the country the stall
warts were waiting 10 see what Grant and
Conkling would do. The word came to
take Of coats and work for the Republican
candidate shortly after Garfield and
Conkling had their conference al Mentor.

An article by Mr.. Thomas Andrews, the
fish culturist OF Westgate House, Guirdford,
in the London Fishing Gazette calls ate n
ton to the advantages of '.dry fly" fishing,
particularly in somewhat depleted streams,
and for trout of large size. Mr.. Andrews
says that 1t is we'll known among all fly
fishers that the first east is the deadly one,
and the first moment after the fall of the fly
on the water is the time when the fish is
most likely to take it, IL is reasonable to
suppose that after a good many hours

accuracy and delicacy of casting is lost.
The way OF obviatlng the necessity for
making hundreds OF fiieks In the cir,
tiresome alike to tie arm aud the fish
thrown at, is to place upon the fly petro-
lenm oil (the writer uses yaseline). The
effect OF painting the wings, hackles and

assumed that the Grant Conkling wing was
TO control Federal appointments in New
York if Garfield was elected there can be
no doubt. When Conkling discovered that
Garfield did not take the same view OF the
understanding be resigned his seat in the
Senate, and, falling of reelection, never
again took part in politics. His silent in
fuence was sufficient to turn the tide
against Blaine in 1884, and death came
shortly after. It WAS very generally be-
leved, however, that Conkling dead had
something to do with Blaine's reluctance TO
tempt fate again in 1888. Cleveland and
Hill are now engaged in much the same
kind of Kilkenny eat fight.

mortuary report for the county is curious
and significant. There were ninety-two
deaths during the quarter, the dead were
equally divided as to sex. and all were ma

over 50 years of age. During the same time
