The price Of thing is generally
what it is worth, competition
regulates that. The higher the price,
the better the quality as a rule; but
price doesn't always guarantee
quality, the reputation Of the seller

A singing Mission Proposed.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suS-Sfr: 10 there such q
thing as q singing mission in New York? What l
mean by a singing mission is a mission house or room
where. in"tead OF long prayers or sermons. only Cos.
pei songs are sung In which all present may Join, and
all under the leadership OF a choir and n preceutor
who can talk the good word between tunes as he an.
nounces them. IN addition to the inside singing this
choir aud its leader could go out on the streets for an
hour in the evening and sing Gospel songs until their
cheering and helpful airs were known everywhere.
am moved to this by the fact that one SO seldom
hears any OF the poorer people singing or whistIIng At
all. and II they do the air is always something that
they have heard In q variety hall. Why not have ono
or a dozen Gospel hymn choirs singing all over the
town and interesting the people as only music can ?
] am sure a Gospel singing school for children would
be filled to overlooking at every meeting when once
It was started. Possibly such schools exist here. m I

DAVIS. Tho Hon. ROGER QuARLEs MILLS has
saddened all hearts by saying in print that he
will not be q candidate for reelection to tho

Tho hopo OF tariff reform was pinned
to that hope. About two weeks ago the
Democratic state Committee proposed as the
test of democracy that nobody who didn't
vote the national and State Democratic ticket
should be admitted to the Democratic primaries.
We don't know how tho Democratic State Com
mittee could make any Democrats adopt this test
unless they wanted to, and we don't know why
the Democratic State should want to
do anything intended to defeat Mr.. MILLS, who
was thought to be tolerably well defeated before
he began his canvass for tariff reform, for which
there is just about as much demand in Texas rs
there is for crossbows and arquobuses. But
Mr.. Mills asserts that the committee aimed
at him. and 80 he falls in the most obliging
manner. Tariff reform and Corsicana will re-
greet him.. He Is just as good a man to-day as he

the affirmative, II tone had In view only those
indications OF Lord S~AL1sBuRY's intentions
which were furnished by the speeches made
during the recess by Sir MICHAEL HICKS
BEACH and Mr.. A. j. BAIFoUR. Since
then, however. the Premier himself and
Mr.. CURzoS, his lieutenant in the lower
house, have intimated that British inter
ests would be sufficiently conserved IL the
Car would follow the German Emperor's
example and declare that any Chinese har-
bors occupied by him should be free ports.
Such n declaration would be no more bind
ing thar a treaty, and everybody knows
what became Of the Treaty OF Paris, when,
about fourteen years later, Russia saw an
opportunity OF defying 1t. Undoubtedly,
should England support Japan, Russia
would have to r%enounce the Llau-Tung
Peninsula, or agree that Japan should have
ample compensation.
England, in short, by reason Of her greatly
superior fleet, holds, for the moment, the
key of the position in the far East. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether she will seize the
opportunity OF asserting decisive influence,
or let it slip by and wait until the compile
tion Of the Siberian Railway shall have
made Russia irresistible on land, and, there
fore, the prospective master Of the Middle
Kingdom.

A radical change of procedure in the
holding of minor civil courts went into
effect on March l in this city without
attracting the attention due to a change
affecting the relation of thousands of per-
sons to these tribunals.
Until the last previous charter of New
York, that of 1873, was adopted. Police
Judges, having coRnizance of serious Of
fences in the first instance and of minor
breaches of the law generally. were elected
by popular vote in certain districts, the
boundaries of which defined the jurisdic.
ton of the police court in which the
Judges served. New York was divided
into five districts, and the Judges elected
in these. two in each except the Fifth,
were permanently placed in their re.
spective districts, at that time the Tombs,
Essex Market, jefferson Market, Yorkville,
and Harlem. Each Judge had his constitu-
ents, or some of his constituents, for COM
plainants and prisoners, as the case might
be. From them, when the time for a new
election came, he would seek support, and
as a consequence there were established
what were known rs "pulls," the relation
of the litigants IL their friends to the

of many cases.
To obviate this, Police Court Judges were
made, by the previous charter, appolntive,
not elective, officers. Their districts" as
such, were abolished, and the assignment
of Judges to service in the several police
courts was fixed by the Board of Judges,
with n view to such rotation as would do
away with the probability of fayoritism or
Partially in dealing with charges against
delinquents. The minor civil courts of
the city preserved, however, the features
which have been objected to in the police
courts. The city was divided into judicial
districts, in each of which a Judge was

Allen Statistics.

The phenomenal flexibility Of the knee
Joints of Senator ALLEN Of Nebraska is
beginning to astonish us. We are not
aware that the multitudinous ~uprisings
and downsittings Of this statesman have
yet been reduced to statistics, but 1t Is
about time to be mathematical.
Thursday last. for example, was an ordi-
nary session Of the Senate. There was no
great debate. The business Of the day
covered o wide range Of subjects for legis-
lation. 1t was a day on which you might
expect that the oratory would be quito
evenly distributed among the flfty.four
Senators who happened to be present.
On that day, as we ascertain from the
pages of the Congressional Record, the
Hon. WILLIAM VINCENT ALLEN, Populist,
of Nebraska, arose to address the Senate
and was recognized by the ice-President
not less than sixty.four times. He made
sixty-four speeches, some long and some so
short as to fall under the head Of incidental
remarks.
A rapid count of the number Of long and
short speeches delivered on that day by all
the Senators present gives US 44e as the
total. This includes the sixty-four up.

several occasions where other Senators
spoke more han once. 1t does not include
remarks by Mr.. HOBART from the desk.
Now, it appears from these figures that
the normal and proportionate record of Mr..
ALLEN on hat day would ave been eight
speeches; that is to say, eight and an in
significant fraction. He exceeded his share
eight times over. He occupied the atten-
ton of the Senate and the Chair 700 per
cent. beyond the average. Upon that day
he spoke for himself and for seven other
Senators.

Ordnance Department, It Is said, to make
new contracts for projectiles under hurry
orders. So the Navy Department has gone
ahead with arrangements for coal supplies,
and the President would probably be able,
under like assurances, to secure options
upon foreign warships that arc for sale.
In all those cases, too, there need be no
fear of wasted o~utlays. We want the extra
artillerymcn and seamen should all chance
of war vanish tomorrow, while every par.

eventually be used. The Cannon bill intro

Emergency Measures.

There are two distinct classes Of duties
devolving upon Congress in military and
naval preparation. One is concerned with
what is to be done during the twelve
months beginning next July, and this is
expressed in the routine Notifications and
Navy Appropriation bills. Yet still more
urgent are a few special measures, contem-
plating smaller outlays, but outlays to be
made at once.
Foremost in this latter class is the bill
for raising two additional regiments of
artillery, which was yesterday carried
through the House by an overwhelming
majority. 1t was really in a double sense
an emergency measure, for, even should
our troubles with Spain be settled to.mor-
row, it would be needed simply for the
sake of taking care of the costly guns and
mortars We have mounted along our coast.
But now, in view of the possibilities of
war, every day that can be gained for the
enlisting and drilling of the new artillery
men Is of Importance. 1t Is n cheering
sign that all party barriers were thrown
down before this patriotic measure, and,
as only four votes were cast against 1t
in the Senate, so only three negative votes
were found in the House.
OF n like character are the proposals to
authorize the purchase of ships. the enlist.
ment of men, and the supply of coal and
ammunition. As soon as the Maine was
destroyed we suggested the Importance of
departing for once from our customary
policy of building our own ships, in order to
make good her loss, and the emergency is
still more clearly defined now. The need of
from 300 to 1000 more men for the ships
already called into service and soon to be
commissioned, is a matter of demonstra-
tion, of simple arithmetic. while the same
may be said OF the coal supplies.
Fortunately, it happens that the Govern
ment need not wait for the routine action
OF Congress in some of these matters. AS
surances of support by the Military and
Naval committees and by the leaders In
Congress will in some cases avail. For
example, assurances that the Conference
Committee on the Fortifcations bill will
favor the largest amount provided for the
ammunition of the forts have enabled the
