Ambittous New Yorkers.

Assemblyman Patrick Truinor Of New
York is one of the many local politicians
of New York city who is as yet unknown
to fame, but who hopes to make his name
a household word throughout the country
by proposing to carve a new state out of
the state of New York-a state to be called
Manhattan. He has bill ready to intro
duce into the general assembly as soon as
that body meets, having for its object the
diVorcing of sixteen counties of the state
and making a new state OF them. These
counties include the cities of Greater New
York and Albany, the capital of the state.
They have population of 3,902,220. That
is greater population than any state out
side Of New York has, except Pennsyl-
vania. The other counties have population
of 1881 ,123, and If Trainor' ssproject should
be successful, what would then be New
York state would be the sixth state in the
union in population.
1t is quite safe to say that there will be
no state of Manhattan in the very near
future, although 1t is not improbable that
Greater New York will give Trainor's bill
a hearty support. The people of that city
are not satisfied with being residents of
the second city in size in the world; they
want to be residents of a state of which
their city will be by far the most impor-
tant part.
If new state should be carved out of
New York it would not be very long before
there would be a movement to make two
or three states out of Texas, and then
Georgia and some of the other states
would begin to think they were two big,
and would ask that new states be carved
out of their respective territories. The
making of new states out of parts of old
states would develop into a great evil.
State pride would be practically destroy
ed and eventually state lines would be-
come so indistinct in all matters pertaining
TO government that the purpose which the
founders OF the republic had in view would
be lost sight OF.
The ambitious Trainor should be given
the cold shoulder. and his bill should be
pigeonholed. 1t is true that in the Senate
the little states have as much power as
the big ones, but 1t Is better that the big
states should endure this injustice than
that new states should be carved out of
them. The founders of the republic I'M
derstood that the states would not have
power in the Senate In accordance with
their wealth and population. They were
much wiser than the men of the Trainor
stamp. In adhering to their work the
country has prospered. BY following the
lead of Trainor the chances are it would
get into trouble.

The Suns efforts nowadays to be witty

suggestive of the cheerful idiot as the
foregoing would have been permitted to
appear in its columns during the time the
late Charles A Dana conducted it. We
don't see why the Sun doesn't attack the
New York legislature for not repeating
the law in that state against prize fighting,
which is not so brutal as the game of
foot ball as 1t is now played. The Sun
might succeed better in trying to be con-
sistent than it does in trying to be witty.

wntson md Prohibition.

The attack which Mr.. Tom Watson
made in his paper upon the popullst sena-
tors who voted against the Turner pro-
hibition bill is surprising. By his political
opponents as well as by his political
friends he has always been given credit
for sincerity. He may have been thor
oughly sincere in attacking the populist
senators, but there will be some who will
doubt it.
In the first place the populist party is
not a prohibition party. In this state In
the last campaign 1t Endorsed prohibition
and supported a prohibitionist for COVER
nor, but it seemed TO be understood that
1t adopted the policy of prohibition for
that campaign only. Assuming that such
was the case the populist senators were
not bound by the prohibition provision in
the last state platform of their party.
Again Mr. Watson is an exceedingly
bright man and keeps abreast of the
times. That being the case how can he
advocate prohibition for this state when 1t
has been a failure in all the states in
which 1t has been tried? He must have
seen the recent statements respecting the
failure of prohibition in Maine and New
Hampshire, and he knows the history of
the dispensary law in South Carolina
where a Baptist minister was shot to
death a few days ago by state whisky
constab BILE.
Prohibition doesn't prohibit where the
people haven't been educated to believe
that prohibition legislation Is wise 1egisa-
ton. And where there is prohibition
without popular consent the conditions
are worse than where whisky is sold open
ly. Why then should Mr.. Watson have at
tackled the populist senators who believe
in local option. but not in prohibition?
Didn't Mr. Watson let the desire to say
something that would attract attention
get the better of his judgment?

BIG Hats In Churches.

What is left in this city Of the bad Gus
tom of wearing big hats in theaters and
other places of public amusement is hardly
worth speaking Of. 1t Is now the rule for
the ladies to take their hats off. There
are, to be. sure. a few exceptions to the
rule. Occasionally some member of the
fair sex insists upon keeping on her hat,
TO the annoyance of her neighbors; but
the great majority of the ladies' have
adopted the plan of arranging their hair
so that with the removal of a hatpin or two
they can take off their hats, and leave
their shapely heads attractively crowned
with natures covering only. The reform
Is in line with the good sense of the ladies
and their consideration of the pleasure of
others, and it is very highly appreciated.
II could not be expected, however, that
this commendable plan would become uni
versal. One could not expect a bald-head-
ed woman to remove her hat in public. The
polished poll must be protected with
wig, which must be held in place by big
and heavy hat, fastened on with pins.
The ant-big hat movement has made
great progress, so far as the theaters and
amusement halls are concerned, but it has
not gone far enough. 1t should extend to
the churches. In church the big hat IS
really more in the way than in the thea
ter for the reason that church audlto-
RUINS are built on level while theater au-
ditoriums are built on an inclined plane.
Whether the congregation is sitting or
standing, one big hat will often shut out
&c he aoba To
three rows to the rear. Persons who go to
church for the good it will do them like
to see the preacher as we'll as hear him. 1t
is almost necessary for them to see him If
the greatest benefit is to be derived from
the sermon. Yet 1t very often occurs that
just as a worshipper has succeeded in dis
covering an opening in the forest of big
hats through which a glimpse of the
preacher may be had, some dear devotee
will shift her head a little and blot out
preacher, pulpit and chancel with her big
hat; and as the view disappears behind
feathers and ribbons, the disconnected lis
teners equanimity is pretty apt to be de-
stroyed. A prodigeous feather in a big
hat at church will often worry a dozen
keep them lodging and peeping all through
a sermon In the vain endeavor to get
sight of the speaker in the pulpit.
There is much more reason why the an
noying big hat should be banished from
the church than there is why it should not
appear in the theater. In the former all
conditions possible should conduce to
peace, tranquility and fraternal affection.
All things possible should be done to put
the worshippers at ease, so that their
minds would be open for the reception of
the divine truths uttered by the servant
of God as he teaches love and charity. In
church there should be a fine consideration
for the comfort of others, and especially
should unnecessary and irritating inter
ferences be avoided. There is room for a
good deal' more OF reformation with re-
gard to hats In public places.

The republican party pledged itself at
its last national convention to do all it
could 10 bring about international bimet-
allism. 1t has kept that pledge. The re-
port of the commission which was sent
70 Europe to see what European countries
were willing to do In behalf of bimetalism
has not been made public, but it is well
known what the substance of the report
is. The commission accomplished moth
ing. Europe does not want bimetallism,
because a double monetary standard is re-
garded by European fnanciers as imprac-
ticable
1t is assumed that the republican party
viii make no further effort in behalf of
international bimetallism, and it is certain
that it is against the free coinage of sill
yer by this country alone. The question
which now presents itself Is this: VIII
the republican party undertake to reform
the currency so that there will be little
or no danger of money panics resulting
from such conditions as brought about the
panic of 1893?
On this question the party is divided.
One part of it favors an attempt to re-
form the currency at once. The Secretary
of the Treasury has already made public
a plan for that purpose, and the monetary
commission will, it is expected, have a
plan ready to report to congress soon af-
ter that body meets. The plan of the
Secretary of the Treasury has been COM
mented on quite favorably, and it may be
made the basis of a currency reform bill
Another plan that has attracted good
deal of attention is that of John c. Built
of Philadelphia. There will be many cur
rency reform plans before congress be-
cause there is no lack of men who think
they have the financial ability to settle
satisfactorily the currency question.
The other part of the republican party
favors letting the currency alone, holding
chance of electing the next congress and
the next President If it does not attempt
to change existing currency conditions.
This difference among the republicans
as to the policy that ought to be pursued
in respect to the currency will result, in
all probability, in nothing being done.
But if nothing is done the republican par
ty will be open to the charge of refusing
to fulfill It's promises. 1t promised TO
change the tariff and to put the currency
on safe basis. 1t has kept it's promise
in respect to the tariff 1t remains to be
seen whether it will keep its promise in
respect to the CURRENCY
