PEACE ~ THE COIRT

There is cause for public satisfaction in the
announcement that Judges of the Court OF Gen
cral Sessions who have been quarrelllnS IN an
msccmlv manner since the beginning OF the year
have so far arranged their differences as TO
Justify the Senate Committee in dropping the
investigation recently begun. There Is no rca-

The people If Brooklyn have taken prompt
measures to acquaint Governor Morton with their
feelings In reference 10 the bin which Is designed
to turn over the Kings County Charities Depart
ment 10 the tender mcrcics Of Jacob Worth. The
bill was passed by The Senate on Thursday with
just seventeen votes in It's favor seven Of which
were furnished by Democrats. When acted on
by The Assembly, several weeks ago only six
votes We're recorded against the measure; but
at that time its true character was not generally
understood in Brooklyn, and the Assembly passed
snap judgment upon it, There has been strong
opposition made TO the bill ever since il reached
the Senate, and It's promoters were compelled 10
abandon all hope Of passing ii with Republican
votes. Now, for better or for worse, the bill is
in Governor Morton's hands.
That il is Worth bill no one who knows lis
history and has followed its course can doubt
1t is true that one Republican Senator on Thurs
day vchcmently asserted that Worth was not Il
candidate for the Charities ComnssOnership,
and that il was the intention to give the office
to some man Of the highest type. This is plainly
a subterfugc If Worth himself is not made the
Commissioner he will name the man who is ap-
pointed There can be no question about that.
II the object Of the bill is 10 place the admnsira-
ton Of the Charities Department in the hands
of man of the highest type, why is the appoint
ing power taken away from the Supcrvisor-ai-
Large, who was elected with the explicit under
standing that the appointment of Charities Com
missioners was TO be one Of his important func-
tons: Then consider for a moment the char
acter of the men to whom this power is trans
feired. Neither Of them was elected with any
expectation that he would ever be called upon
10 perform such duty. The Sheriff, Butling, IS

The Rev Thomas Dixon spoke yesterday In As-

his preaching in a letter signed by an "oh-Fash

paper some time ago Mr. Dixon entitled his dis

The preacher said that every church. no matter
what denomination. was divided into two classes.

a man deviated from that path OF conservatism.
