Is THIS HELP FOR THE POOR,

The account OF the visit OF Acting
Mayor McClelland to the Park Board
to demand three hundred labor tickets
for distribution among he Alderman is
Instructive.
President Happen, of the Park Com
mission, refused to yield to the Alder
mems request at present. He admitted
that the tickets had been thus far dis
tributed among district leaders. police
justices and members Of the Leg!sla ture,
but the Commissioners had not yet de-
cided whether there would be enough
to so around among the Aldermen.
This is a scandalous admission. II
would not matter through what agencies
the labor tickets were distributed II
only honest. suffering and deserving
workingmen were given employment.
But II IL well known that district leaders.
police justices and members OF the Leg
islature use the tickets 10 increase their
political power and influence. This they
cannot do by giving work to poor and
honest labor. but by distributing the
tickets among heelers and saloon bum
mers who are busy at election time. 1t IL
notorious that the men set to work by
such patrons are the relatives, friends
and hangers-on of the most useful poll
ticianj of the district. who are not in
need of help. and that the real poor
whose families are starving and who
have no pull and no political influence
are left to suffer
Let the Park Boards policy prevail in
Ill the city departments to which none
Is appropriated to prosecute public
works and milions may be expended
without giving any real relief to the I'M
employed OF the city.
Yet what are the people going TO do
about 1t when even the Acting Mayor falls
Into line in The demand for these poiiti-
cal labor tickets at the public depart
ments?

HE STICKS TO THE SENATE.

When Senator White was nominated
and confirmed as Justice Of the Supreme
Court several days ago, there was a
general rejoicing hat the d~lsgraceful
political %squabble over the office was
ended. The nomination and the confr-
nation without any delay were both
complimentary. They were not due to
any peculiarly distinguished aualifca-
tons of the appointed. although his re-
spectability was admitted, but to the
desire that the vacancy, too long exist
ms, should be filled at last.
The seat in the Supreme Court Is still
unoccupied. Judge White continues to
NIL his seat in the Senate. He remains
there In order to use his efforts and his
vote to put a tax on sugar. in which he
Is personally interested.
HI State OF Louisiana would not be
injured by Justice Whites immediate re-
tiremcnt. The Governor would appoint
a Democratic successor. But the Sena-
torial Justice sticks to the Senate be-
he Is anxious to look after his
personal interests before he takes his
place In the highest court In the nation.
This may be thrift In the Senator. Does
1t speak well for the Justice?

MISUNDERSTANDING THE CITY.

Senator Mcmahon won an unenviable
distinction as the only New York Sena-
tor opposed to allowing the people to say
by their votes whether they do or do not
favor the consolidation In the Greater
New York of the cities and territory en-
braccd in the Greater New York bill.
This disinclination to trust the people,
or rather this desire to gag them, was
unbecoming u representative Of the city.
But Senator Mcmahon has followed It
up by "A bin designed to defeat the prop
osition by providing that to carry the
affirmative vote for consolidation the IA
vorable votes must be a clear majority
OF the highest total vote cast for any
candidate in the election.
What is the matter with Senator Nc
Mahon ? 1t was bad enough to attempt
to put a gag in the mouths OF his con-
stituents. 1t is worse to seek to destroy
the democratic principle that the ma
jority shall prevail. II Senator Mcmahon
persists in misrepresenting New York he
should resign. That would be the honor
able course.

HADDAM's INHosPITALITY

The prisoners in the Haddam (Conn.)
Jail are not having the good time to
which their offenses against the law
would seem to entitle them. They COM
plain that they are fed daily on salt
herring, and instead OF soda crackers,
which would be easy on their aesopha-
flour and other articles not fit to eat.
Besides, they are not properly supplied
with clothing. One poo fellow whose
term has just expired has been thrust
out into freedom and freezing weather
with not enough lingerie to ft out a
trousseau for a mosquito and no outer
garments worth speaking of.
Some people who deal with criminals
do not seem TO understand that the lat
ter are entitled to distinguished and
delicate consideration. II Is preposterous
as well as cruel to feed a man deprived
OF his liberty on salt herring. What
is he going to do with the far-reaching
thirst which salt herring unerrinKly in
duces? He cannot fly to n beer fount
every few minutes, like the man who Is
free to go whlthersoever he listeth. II
is quite out-Tantalusing Tantalus, and
the chef OF the Haddam Jail ought to
know better. AS for clothing, II the
Haddam convicts have no friends on the
Atlantic liners to smuggle them over
roomy but swell suits from Poole's,
London. they should at least be given
the best the American market affords.
And in the line OF underwear, silk gar
ments would not be sneezed at, we
think, by the now undtessed but secure
~ duressed Haddamites.

He Married for Spite.

To the Editor:
! would advise 'Lyndhurst' not to be over
anxious about his girl. II either the girl or the
parents see his attentions they will only keep him
worried all the more. I had a friend who had
an experience OF this kind. Apparently the par
ents did not want him for a son in-law. so he
married the girl for spite. and now he is sorry
for he sees that It was only a scheme to make
him more anxious. Again. II the girl herself sees
that he is a sure thing 1t is woman's nature TO
want that which she cannot get and to throw
aside that which she can get. II "Lyndhurst'
will appear mot to care and be indifferent there
is no doubt but that the young lady will come to
him. l am thinking that perhaps "L.yndhurst" Is
a little SLOW. There is nothing worse that that
in these days unless 1t is bad looks. Even then
a winning way goes better than good looks and
sunday-school manners. l have been there many
a time, and In every case have found what l say
above to be my experience. CHIP CHASE,

Are So Many Women Fakes?

To the Editor:
I would like to say that glorious woman" tO
Is getting entirely too conceited. Women are
only what the men allow them to be: so man
cannot be such a dreadful tyrant after all. since
man has allowed woman so much liberty, as the
worlds honest history reveals. The most that
can DO said Of won IN as a whole Is that she
can become a mother, though a very small per
cent. OF them are in any way At for that high
honor. II men would only think more they would
not rush of at such early ages and make such
silly women, as they do, the mothers OF their
children. 'Tis this that brings such woes upon
the lives Of men and their children in after
years. In ancient Sparta a man was not allowed
to think OF marriage before he was thirty years
did. Aristotle. one OF the greatest OF ancient
or modern wise men, said that the proper age OF
marriage for mon was thirty-seven and eighteen
for women. According to science. men are from
twenty to- thirty years physically younger than
women. We are not speaking OF exceptional wo-
men. but as this scheme OF God really runs. No
man loves and admires a good, true woman more
tlan ! do, but l am neartily tired Of take
women" and who are Mostly OF the kind that
go about calling the nselves ladies without really
understanding what that means. For common
