NEW YORK. April 2s.-A much
talked Of, much written Of, abused,
praised and little-understOod editor
Is E. L. Godkin, editor of the
New York Evening Post and New
York Nation, and chief scribe TO the
once famous, but now dwindling party
known as the MuEwumps.
By the same token be is the least
knewn Of any editor or any political
figure Ia al New York, despite the fact
that bis name is constantly before the
public.
Mr. Godkin is 10 q way peculiar
among the editors and writer's In New
York. in that be is an editor and writer
pure and simple and nothing else. Most
of the other metropolitan editors have
fads Of one sort and another, as, for in
stance, Mr.. Dana, who. besides editing
she Sun, has liking for a good bit Of
horss flesh, Is fond Of landscape garden
Ing and the growing Of mushrooms on
hls Island home, DorOsis, in a neck Of
Long Island Sound, and other things.
Mr.. Godkin is Of the type of public
men who may be met at every turn. he
is man OF medium stature and size
with kindly Intellectual face on which
IS a we'll trimmed and kept beard. The
face and head are strong. There is
character as we'll as intellect in the
faciai lines, yet the mas looks what he
Is, a scholar, rather than a man Of

dulge In his or her extravaganza. Each
of these stands generally consist OF a
small showcase, into which is crowded
as many earthen jars as 1t will hold.
These are often filed with quite an as
sortment OF varites from the floral
kingdom. To-day you may have at
least three different kinds Of carna-
tions, known to these "forlsts" as
"pinks"; pansies in profusion, golden
daffodils and bright-eyed daisies, with
a fair sprinkling of sweet alyssum and
delightfully."- fragrant mignonette, not
to forget the dewy, sweet-scented
punches of deep blue or purple Vlolets.
At the more ambitious stands can be
had the dainty favorite, the lily OF the
vally, as well as her larger and power
fully porfumed sister, the stately Eas-
ter lily, side bv side with the stiff and
prosaic Gala. Roses are ever in de-
mand and may DO had at the street cor

prime favorite, though closely pressed
by the stylish "Jac," with its famous
velvety petals and sweet perfume.
The young lady mentioned above,
who deplored the absence OF attractive
flower girls in Chicago, had another
fault to find and that was the lack OF
artistic displays Of flowers. According
to this fair critic the Chicago florists
have a great deal TO learn from their
foreign sisters and brethren when 1t
comes to artistic arrangement OF their
wares. The florists. both those on the
street corners as well as the swell"
dealers on the avenues, seem to either
lack all knowledge of color effects or
else deliberately ignore them. The
Herald man. rather piqued at such an
insinuation, determined TO find out for
himself to what extent this assertion
held good, and made trip OF observa-
ton among the various dealers in flow
ers, both small and large. AT the cor
ner stands glance was only needed to

SWEET FLOWER GIRLS.
AN ATTRACTION IN FOREIGN CITIES
Nothing in Chicago to Take Their Places
American Vendors Display No Tass in
Observation-Disclosures Manners Of
The European Flower Girl.

A young lady. who claims Chicago for
her home. has recently returned from
a prolonged European trip. She is ex-
tremely loyal to Chicago. aotwithstand-
ing she has dwelt in some OF the favor
ite cities of the world. Chicago is,
after all, the NEST attractive spot on
earth" she exclaimed, "but, dear me,
there is one thing that | miss dread
fully here" On being asked the nature
of her grievance it turned out TO be the
absence in Chicago Of the perambalat-
ing flower vendors who swarm most
every European city OF any note, Bar
ring a few half starved, i'll clad, dirt
begrimmed little girls from to ID
years of age who principally haunt
saloons in trying to dispose OF their
small stock of haf.wilted dyspeptic
looking carnations, Chicago cannot
boast Of any representative flower girls.
1t seems a little strange that some
ouick-witted florist has not hit upon
the plan of having number OF pretty
girls engaged in selling flowers at
places OF amusement or In the street.
1t would, especially this season OF the
year, prove very profitable invest
ment, During the past few years there
have sprung up a number OF more or
less pretentious stands on most every
corner where lover OF flowers may In

sensible persons.

The private life Of the editor Of The
Nation. is OF a kind with his work-a-day
existence. He lives very quietly with
his family on West Tenth street, in
New York. not far away from that part
of Fifth Avenue that once was fash
ionable, the part near Washington
Square, where old New Workers such as
the CooDers, the Hewitts and others
still live. The University buildings in
which many famous literary men and
artists have lived are near by, and the
book publishers have not yet ali moved
m town, far from the historic neigh
borhood. The Aston Library is but a
little distance away, and in some re-
spects the neigh bOrhoOd has an air OF
staid responsibility about IL that upper
Fifth Avenue has not.
The Godkin family is not much seen
in society. You never see the names or
any of It's members in the newspapers
as having TO do with the 400" They
can 90 70 the theatres without being
stared at-as is their wish, and so they
are comfortable, more comfortable than
a good many persons are whose pictures
are in the illustrated papers every day.
Now and then Mr.. Godkin contributes
an article to some OF the English re-
views, but only when some occasion
calls for such action. One OF these oc-
casions was when Mr.. Goodwin Smith
INDUCED in one OF his characteristic d.
atribes. and he probably still remembers
Mr.. GOdkin's treatment Of him. This
was but one occasion.
There have been others, and there is
demand for anything Mr.. Godkin
chooses to write. But be is like Charles
A. Dana in one respect at least. He
likes TO do his best work for mis- own
paper-and does il.
On the whole, aside from being a man
Of brains, Mr.. Godkin is q man who is
interesting in many other ways. Indeed,
he is a type Of man such as you do not
meet every day.

TO CHANGE THE TIME OF MEETING,
Representative Grain Preparing to Push
His Measure.


His Measure.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2s.-Rep-
resentative Grain, Of Texas, has reintro-
duced in a modified form his bill chang
ing the time for the meeting Of Congress
from December to the first Tuesday
after the 4th Of March succeeding the
Congressional elections. Instead OF
having the new Congress meet thirteen
months after It's election as by the pres
emit law il would meet five months after
in the succeeding spring. According
TO Mr.. Grain this would bring the new
Congress together fresh from the people
with election pledges undimmed and
election ardor uncooled. The bill makes
provision for session of Congress on
Feb ruary 3, succeeding each Presiden-
tial election, for the purpose Of count
ing the electoral vote, but for the trans
action of no other business. This pro-
vision Mr.. Grain regards as very impor-
tant, the idea being to provide against
the enactment Of laws by Congress
perhaps just repudiated at the ballot
box.
Mr.. Grains bill specifically denies to
mem bers mileage and stationery ac-
counts for the extra session to count
the electoral vote. Forty cents mile
for the regular session Mr.. Grain re-
CARDS as ample to cover any extra ex-
pense to which members may be put in
attending this special session.
