A Big Regular Army.

The mightieSt host of this sort is the army of
lnvalids whose bowels liver and stomachs have
been regulated by Hostettcr's Stomach Bit
tiers. A regular habit of body is brought about
through using the Bitters. not by violently agi-
tating and gripping the ntestines, but by rein
forcing their energy and causing q flow of the
bile into its proper channel. Malaria, Ia grippe
dyspepsia, and tendency TO inactivity of the
kidneys, are conquered by the Bitters.

THE Successor or 4 GENTLEUiN'S GEN
TIENtN

In choosing John Addison Porter to be his Pri-
vate Secretary, the Presdent-eect has not only
conferred distinction upon a member Of the
journalistic profession. but he has likewise
shown to tie country the importance which he
attaches-and rightly attaches-to this office
A post that in the past has been filed by such
men as Colonel John Hay and the present Sec
retary Of War will strike most people being
not altogether nconsequential. They at least
made it-what it ought never to have ceased to
be-a post Of great honor and paramount in
luence. 1t is within the last four years only
that it has been dragged down to the level OF a
doorkeepership, making OF its occupant little
more than higher grade 1unkey.

dent consists in standing, literally and ngura-
lively speaking, between the idol Of his little
brain box and the public, ard we shall not

CITY AND TRACTION COMPANY.

Two Interesting announcements concerning
the Metropolitan Traction Company were made
Yesterday They have no direct connection, Dut
when considered together they are found TO be
fnll of sucgeStion one was that the company,
which WAS recently indicted for maintaining
pnblic nuisance at Broadway and Union Square
had naid no attention TO District Attorney Vi
cott's proposal that it should use horses to draw
its ears around the deadly curve pending the
result of the action. The other piece of intelll-
cpnce was that the company had made all lis
arrangements To change its motive power. ana
was about ready to begin the laying of electrical
cOnduiis for the underground trolley service
This means that for an indefinite time several
great thoroughfares are to be kept in state OF
chaos. in order that the company may install the
new system which it has apparently determined
10 adopt il being cheerfuy assumed that the
peope will accept the sacrifice without com
plaint upon the promise that great advantages
will result That is the attitude which tile COM
panv expects the community to assume ana
amiablv maintain while il is suffering great loss
and inconvenience Possibly that is the atti-
tude which the community ought 10 hold, III
view of the fact that the cable system Is OK
trcmclv unsatisfactory and that the proposed
change NAV turn out to be a great improvement.
But. nevertheless, it is eXasperating to renec'
that in return for this expected acquesccnce III
its plans. in addition 10 enormous privileges
actually bestow ed heretofore, the company treats
the people with habitual disrespect, and when
brought into court 10 answer for an outrageous
abuse manfcsts contcmptuouS disregard OF
popular sentiment and of an official request.
These two items of news. we say, though dis
connected in one sense. are closely connected IN
another Together they forcibly illustrate the
spirit in which a great corporation serves the
city which has enabled il to transact an enor-
m0uslv lucrative business.

DTSCOTPAGING FIREBUGS.

Some excellent work has been done by the
officials charged with the detection and prose
cutlon Of crime in hunting down the iDccndia-
rjes who have infested this city. II Is not yet
time for them 10 relax their vigilance The
temptation TO engage in this dastardly method
of making money must be strong. for in spite
OF the exposures recently made and the severe
penalties imposed. every few days some new
attempt Is made 10 burn a tenement house.
Yesterday morning accounts were published
Of an attempt 10 fire Harlem building for the
third time in week and the eleventh time In
two years On The same day a man pleading
guilty Of incendiarism was sent 10 State Prison
for five years Appeals were made 10 the
Court 10 impose lighter punishment. but they
were without avail. II would be manifestly
unsafe to deal leniently with ncendiaries
while buildings were being fired persistcntly.
There can be no security for anybody in
crowded city like New-York, where families
dwell many In house so long as the habit or
burning furniture to collect insurance Is not
utterly stamped out. No plea Of ignorance nor
