Is no present promise of escape; the hope
of the gambler, the saloonkeeper, and many
others engaged in collateral industries lies
only in complete emancipation and unques-
toned legislative independence. Hand in
hand with the elements referred to are
those who are careless as to what the
rural legislator may do, but who are proud
OF Greater New York, and who would do
much to exalt 1t into a sovereign state
these are they who are already calling at
tention to the fact that Greater New York
what an awkward name that isis at
disadvantage in Congress when compared
with Nevada. Greater New York contains
three millions of People, while Nevada
never had more than about sxty-two
thousand bona fde inhabitants. Colorado
is also brought up for comparison; in the
old city of New York the assessed valua-
ton in 1890 was almost ten times that Of
the whole state Of Colorado, while New
York city in that same year disbursed for
charities alone sum equal to nearly two
thirds of Colorado's gold output of some
thing like seventeen millions of dollars. A
New York newspaper, discussing this mat
ter. says that 1.-The value of the enormous

flying the appropriation for harbor i'm

likely to attract much attention just now.

whole, and speaking for 100000 of people,
is obliged to weigh up in the balance with
him."
Admitted inequalities of representation
in the upper branch of the national legis-
lature are not likely, however. to bring
about the consent of the nation and of
agricultural New York to the formation of
the proposed new state.

From the New York Tribune.
The institution Of a national police bureau

creation of an international organization
Of like sort, with hea dquarters at London

making necessary for his suppression the

machinery possible to be devised. Tho

our own malefactors with more economy
and efficiency than at present, but ali the

And the oil which at midnight is burning

But it's very important to show a fine leg
When you wear your knee breeches to

The altar of Scion will miss US
As We come day by day

For Apollo and likewise Narcissus
Find the incense all coming their way,

Don't develop your mind, but develop your
calves
To be fit for knee breeches at court.
