known here that it is unnecessary to say
more than that he will appear in his own

Better Button 1t I'D.

We are told by doctor that the vest or
waistcoat worn by men In modern times is
cause OF suffering. disease. and death.
He says that the waistcoat ought to be
made 30 as to button up to the neck. In
order that the chest may be properly pro-
tected against the cold. especially at this
season OF the year. BY wearing a three
button waistcoat. leaving the bosom but
lightly covered. men render themselves the
more liable to pneumonia. pleurisy. bron-
chitis. rheumatism. and other diseases.
which have become far more prevalent and
fatal In this country In recent times than
they used to be In the days OF old. The
English OF past generations wore high
buttoned waistcoats or other protect
ing raiment In front OF the chest. In
no country OF Europe do men ex-
pose their breasts to the weather like the
men Of this country. though. in our cli-
mate. that part OF tho body ought to be well
guarded. The Catholic priests do not wear
a low waistcoat. or show white shirt front.
but are warmly and wisely clad up to the
throat. The eloquent and venerable Bap-
fist preacher Of this city. the Rev. DR.. CONE.
now deceased. who was an actor. a soldier.
an editor. and an officeholder. before he be-
came a clergyman. used to wear velvet
waistcoat. buttoned up to the neck. and 1t
was very becoming to him.
Even In this cold month OF February you
can see men in Broadway and other streets
every day displaying the pleats OF their
shirts. and with but light apparel between
their ribs and the frost. Such men ought to
think OF the danger which they thus incur.
ofcatching pleurisy. pneumonia. bronchitis.
rheumatism. or some other ailment.
We have no doubt that the excellent med
ical practitioner who. for sanitary reasons.
disapproyes OF the open-breasted waist
coat could sustain his case by a first-rate
and most convincing argument.

A wise ComptrolIer.

Comptroller FITCH has rendered good
service In overhauling the estimates for the
Board OF Education. and In procuring the
facts about the alleged inadequacy OF the
public schools to accommodate the children
who desire to enter them. He has found,
for example, that in the existing school
buildings there are 1sO.922 sittlngs,
while the average attendance Is only
ISL 952 and the whole number OF names
on the registers lie 1856 These facts
certainly do not support the complaint that
thousands OF children are unable to find
room In the public schools. We are pre-
pared to believe that the schools are not
always evenly proportioned TO the popula-
ton In the various districts; but any incon-
venlence thus caused can be speedily
obviated through the use Of part OF the
funds already In the hands Of the Board OF
Education.
The City Comptroller has examined the
bills before the Legislature. appropriating
money for the Board. They involve the ex-
pending OF SAL 900 for new schools and for
new edifice which shall be the head
quarters OF the Board. He declared at once
that one-fifth OF this sum could be dispensed
with. and that the remaining portion OF It
could be reduced without detriment to the
educational interests OF the city.
We desire that there shall be as many
public schools as are needed for the accom-
mediation Of all the children who seek for
education in them; but we are unwilling
that the public funds shall be squandered
In the erection Of unnecessary buildings or
offices. This is not q time for prodigality
in expenditures.
The report OF Comptroller FITCH will
doubtless meet with the approval Of the
members OF the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment.

A Correction.

II what we hear Is correct. Mr.. EDMOND
FORTUNE drew very long bow In the story
he lately brought from Hayti as to the
conduct OF Mr.. HENRY NJ. SMYTHE, our
Minister TO that republic.
Mr.. FORTUNE represented Mr.. SMYTHE as
having lectured HIPPoLYTE. In an aston
ishingly unbecoming letter. upon what he
considered as the Haytian Presidents
official misconduct. Mr.. FORTUNE gave
the German Minister In Hayti as his au-
thority for this alleged improper Interior
ence in HIPPoLYTE's affairs; and his state
ment was widely published aud commented
upon In American newspapers.
We understand that Minister SMYTHE ia
able to show, and has shown 10 the Depart
ment OF State. testimony from the Haytian
Government. contradicting the FORTUNE
story. and also letter Of the German Min
lister declaring that he never met FORTUNE,
and gladly adding his own testimony "to
the universal opinion in Port au Prince
that the whole story Is a pure invention"
AS to the dispatches purporting to quote
from two Haytian newspapers clrcumstan-
tial details strengthening tho FORTUNE
story, Mr.. SMYTHE has affidayits that
neither OF them published a word OF the
articles thus imputed to them.
We are glad to learn that Minister
SMYTHE's record in this matter will be- set
right, and that there is no ground for ap-
pretending that our friendly relations with
Hayti are impaired.

The Little Citizen OF tho VermiIion
Range,

The Hon. JADAM BEDE OF the Vermilion
Range is one Of the most original and
whimsical characters yet discovered by
Mr.. CLEVELAND In his constant search for
novelty. The Minnesota newspapers are
full OF biographical reports about him. The
Pioneer Press is right in saying that he is
between fifteen and ninety. He is thirty
seven. 1t is unnecessary TO add that he
was born in Ohio. Thence he was taken TO
an Iowa farm, where he grew up full OF air
and ingenious confidence. He soon hung
up the hoe and took 70 the composing stick.
He founded a newspaper in the Zenith City.
was Washington correspondent, and then
became managing editor OF the Duluth Her
aid. In 1892 he founded in Duluth a paper
called the Lyle Citizen. The name was
photographed. for Mr.. BEDE. as the 81.
Pull Globe says. with pardonable exaggera-
ton. is one Of the best known and uniyer-
sally popular little gentlemen in the en-
tire State" The little citizen stumped the
Sixth Congress district for Major BALDWIN.
The Major arrived. Soon after the election.
Mr.. BEDE's ONCE was burned. and he was
strapped. In 1888 he founded newspaper

Railroad wreckage In the West.

Recent reports Of the condition OF some
OF tho largest OF our Western railroad cor
porations, present the most disastrous and
Encouraging spectacle In our commercial
history. The wreckage OF the Northern
Pacific. the Atchison. the Union Pacific and
other vast railroad properties. is almost
beyond comprehension In its enormity.
This ruin has been achieved by steady
Eradations at q time when the development
OF the surrounding country had not been
retarded. when the population had been
rapidly increasing. and when every con-
dition conducive to prosperity existed in
abundance. It was not caused by the
shrinkage In silver. the abandonment OF
mines. or tho money panic. These events
gave 1t emphasis. and precipitated results
that had long been inevitable.
Not the least discouraging aspect OF the
whole situation is that the courts have
resolved in almost every instance to appoint
rs receivers for these bankrupted proper
ties the very men under whose manage
ment their mlsfortunes had been created |!
The men who. by their incapacity or dis
honesty. have dragged down great and
powerful organizations. seem by those very
qualifications to have commended them
selves to the courts. They have been made
the receivers. Their personal emoluments
are greater than the salaries they had be-
fore. Their control is more absolute. and
they perpetuate with insolence and defiance
the vices that disgraced their previous ad-
ministration.
Never was the management OF the lines
affected more cutthroat and depraved than
1t Is at tho present moment. Never was
the competition more reckless and dis
honest. or more strongly marked by the
personal proclivities of the management.
The Interstate Commerce Commission is
set at naught and openly detied. In fact. it
finds itself reduced TO single remedy,
that Of impeaching the Judges under whose
authority the work OF disintegration and
ruin Is now carried on!

A NefarIous Crime.

The students of Cornell University who
were guilty OF the cowardly and Infamous
crime OF which We have given report. ought
to be punished to the utmost extent OF the
law. Their punishment should be exem-
plary. SO that 1t shall be memorable In the
history OF that university. and OF all our
0ther institutions OF learning.
That any body OF young American men
could perpetrate such a deed as that OF
Wednesday evening OF this week seems i'm
possible.
It was crime akin to that OF the Anar-
chlst VALIANT, who threw the bomb in the
French Chamber. Its perpetrator and his
accomplice, were maleiactOrs Of the skulk-
Ing kind. sneaks and poltroons. They have
brought disgrace upon the university; the
place for them Is the penitentiary or even
worse.
1t was a device OF deviltry. With the aid
OF glass and rubber tubes. they conveyed,
or sought to convey. a current OF deadly
chlorine gas from a concealed stone Jug
into a dining hall filled with their fellow
students. the freshmen. Happily for the
freshmen at their dinner. one OF the tubes
had been diverted. so that only a small
amount OF the gas entered the dining room;
but even this amount was sufficient to pros
trate. and endanger the lives OF. those who
inhaled it. The main portion OF the gas had
entered the kitchen. and there an unfor-
tunate old eolored woman. the cook was
instantly killed by 1t. while her daughter
escaped death only by flight.
It was an attempt to murder the whole
Assemblsge. 1t ended in murder. The par
ticipators in the attempt were murderers.
deserving Of execution.
The shamefully riotOus conduct OF a mob
OF students that preceded the Incident
makes 1t certain that there had been a
conspiracy; and there need not DO any
doubt that at least some OF the rioters
