A GRAND WORK.

Helping Tired Mothers and Giving Rosy
Cheeks to Cblldrep.
Thousands of tired, nervous, worried
women have found strength, health and
happiness in Hoods Sarsaparilla. which
purifes their blood, strengthens their
nerves and gives them good appetites.
Pale and puny children are given rosy
cheeks and vigorous appetites by the great
blood enriching qualities of Hoods Sarsa-
parlla. 1t is indeed the mothers friend
and it may well have place in thousands
of families. Be sure to get Hoods.

why the opportunities Of these gentlemen to have
legislation at Albany shaped with view to In
surfing Republican control Of Greater Ncw-lork
either by putting the election machinery IN
Republican hands through the police, or by max
ing changes In the Excise law solely to meet the
exipencies OF the local situotlon-should be dis
regarded by the Governor.
In the first place. the belief is general that
absolute Republican control of the Greater New
York under the existing party machinery would
be no reform at all. but only change Of names
and rulers under the same old system. with the
same methods and practices that existed under
Tammany. 1t would be change Of masters,
NOT methods. The rea sons for this belief need
not be stated; they are patent to any one at all
familiar with the history of local politics for the
last dozen years. No matter what legislative
device may be invoked, there is not in the minds
of careful and experienced observers the re-
hottest probability that purely Republican cam
paign for the control Of Greater New-York would
be successful. In the second place, If there were
any prospect OF Republican success, the very
effort in which these gentlemen are engaged to
make 1t certain by special legislation in that be-
half would have precisely the opposite erect IN
arousing feeling of opposition that would In
sure defeat No party. least of all the Repub-
lican, can afford TO take the chances of smart
practices in legislation They invariably react
upon the inventors.
The solicitudc of the gentlemen named Is not
unnatural when the circumstances In which
they are placed, the ends they have in view and
the motives that inspire them are taken into
account But it would be n dark day for the
Republican party in this county. in what Will be

Reform IN ENGLISH CRIMINAL LAW.

London. March 24.-In the House of Commons to-
day Edward II. Pickersgill. Liberal. member for
the southwest division of Bethnal Green moved
the second reading OF the bill TO create a criminal
court of appeal. In support of the bill Mr. Pick
ersgill commented upon the present law, which
was extremely unjust In cases where innocent
persons condemned to Imprisonment or other
forms of punishment secret inquiry into their
cases by the Home Office their only remedy
as a new public trial impossible. Under the
present law also, he said grossly divergent SEN
fences were imposed by different judges for the
same offence.
Sir W. NJ. Reilly. Home Secretary. speaking
behalf of the Government, admitted that the con
scnsus Of public opinion was in favor of some
alteration of the law as 1t exists at present. He
was not opposed to the second reading Of the bill
but at the time he thought that legislation
In that direction ought to be initiated by the gov
eminent.
Mr. Pckersgill's motion for the second reading
OF the bill carried by vote OF l29 to s..

Mr.. PALMER GOES TO CHICAGO.

has been a large amount OF speculation TO tho
purpose Of his visit The statement that he came
TO attend the dinner of the American Dramatsts
Club last Saturday night was not regarded as SUI

object 10 promote the interests OF theatrical
syndicate TO rival the one headed by Messrs. Hay

ter OF much Importance that Mr.. Palmer had had
conference with H. c. Miner. the proprietor Of The
Fifth Avenue Theatre and 1t has therefore been
inferred that there is chance OF his becoming the
manager OF that house. OF the direction OF which
is generally understood Mr.. Miner wishes TO be- re-
