G%LADsTONE's ILLNESS.

Mr.. Gladstone's attack Of illness yes
terday, although not regarded as dam
gerous, shows how judicious and timely
was his retirement from the active work
OF the Premiership. Great as his
strength and will may be, his years make
care and caution necessary. and warn
him that there is II limit to his physl-
cal power.
Although Mr.. Gladstone gives way TO
a younger man in the actual labor of
the Premiership, his spirit will control
the Administration. and he may yet be
In all but form and title the head Of his
party. His continued health Is, there
fore. as valuable and helpful to the
Liberal cause as u was when he held
the reins Of Government in his own
hands. 1t would still be n National ca
lamity II he should be removed before
the new Ministry has had the advantage
of his advice and experience. and before
the policy of the new Cabinet has been
framed under his known guidance and
counsel. There is a tower OF strength
in the confidence reposed In the Grand
Old Man by the people.

DAYS.

The continuance of the present beauti-
full weather brings the hope tina the
severity OF the Winter has passed away
not to return this year. If this proves
to be true. 1t will be a great boon to the
poor. not only In ame~liorating their
present sufferings. but In afford!ng prom
Use OF a speedy renewal of work that
will give employment to the idle.
There is good reason to believe that we
are on the eve of better times. The
Spring business Is likely to revive. The
Senate cannot much longer play fast and
loose with the interests OF the country.
There must come an end of 'conserva-
tive" Instructions to returning pros
perity. The public works will be prose
cutei with vigor now that we have
settled weather.
All tina is needed now Is a continuation
for a short period OF the noble efforts
to relieve suffering made through the
Free Food Commission, the Free Bread
Fund, the Mayors Relief Fund and the
various great charities of the city. public
and private.
We are nearing the end OF a severely
frying season. May the relief be com
| plete and permanent.

WHEN THE BLUE CLOUDS ROLL BY.

A Middietown IN. " man has gone
to prison for knocking dow another
man who was smoking In n public
place. He attacked one person because
he was smoking a pipe. and when an
other person, smoking n cigar, dropped
in to see what was the matter the to-
b~accophoblst hauled off and fioored him.
II the intruder had been II boy with n
cigarette, the hater of the Babylonish
weed might ave eaten him up.

ing to put down thu tobacco habit has a
big contract on hand. lie has n mis-

to suppress onion smoking and compel
the retirement of noisome short clay
pipes that nave been heirlooms in fam
lilies for .nany generations. he would
nave a hard and thankless job.
There are millions of smokers In this
land. and they smoke everything from
shoestrings and cabbage leaves up to
Turkish perique, hard tobacco and cuheb
cigarettes. The Mtddlctown man would
have his hands fun and he otherwise
busy, too, knocking all these smokers

HARD TO START.

There seems to be no end of difficulty
In starting the business OF the Senate's
Investigating Committee. The latest ru-
NOR is that Mr.. Con, upon whom the
Committee has agreed as counsel. now
objects to MIR. Sutherland. of Rochester.
as assistant counsel, and says he must
be allowed to select his own associates
or he will not act.
DIR. parkhurst expressed confidence
in Mr.. Sutherland's ability as a lawyer
yesterday, but thought the Committee
should hav selected AS Mr.. Goff's as
sociate Some New York attorney more
conversant with the New York Police
Department" But MIR. Golf possesses
as much knowledge as any person in
New York of police doings, and as he
has the principal management Of the
inquiry he can control the calling Of
witnesses and the conduct of their ex-
animation.
DR.. Parkhurst said Il am discouraged
this evening over the whole affair" and
added that he should have a statement
to make. hut 1t Is quite certain that
nothing will come of the investigation
unless a beginning is made, and It Is
to be regretted that these difficulties
are SO constantly thrown in the way OF
the starting of the Committed work.

meant, and, as principal counsel, Mr..

make the discovery promptly.

Tin Cans in Bank street.

To the Editor:
Much has been said In the papers about the
nuisance OF calling the numbers OF cabs with stem
torian voice during the small hours OF the night.
thus disturbing the rest and sleep Of the people
living in the neighborhood. I am surprised that
nobody has spoken OF a much greater nuisance than
that. I mean the incessant kicking OF tin cans
through the streets. From early morning till late
at night this ear-rendlng racket Ia kept agoing,
and especially on holidays and Sundays when the
schools are closed. The kicking Is done inces-
sanity. so that resting and reading is made quite
impossible. As the New York street urch!ns are
not afraid OF anything short Of q uniformed
policeman, It would be very praiseworthy II the
latter would take a hand In stopping the nuisance.
and thus give peacable citizens the rest to which
they are entitled. The patrolmen here have ire
quontly been told Of this but seem to ignore the
matter entirely.

Women Cause Poverty.

In an address before the Riverside As
ISOLATION. President Harvey E. Fisk
said: THE trouble with the working
classes to-day Is not lack of income, but
lack of ability on the part of the women
to make proper use of their husbands
earnings, and lack of ability to make
the home attractive and to keep tho
children healthful. Cleanliness, proper
clothing and wholesome cookery would
rob life In the New York tenements of
haif It's horrors. Foreigners seem to
leave their thrift behind them when they
come to America. Poverty in all our
large cities is due to lack of the knowl-
edge OF how to properly use the money
earned. When wages are high they are
wasted. Nothing is put by for a rainy
day" When Mr.. Fisk made these re-
marks there was not the difficulty Of
obtaining employment that now exists.
