The sanitary authorities of New York
city have opened crusade against spit
ting i'll public places. Seventy policemen
in plain clothes We're detailed on Tues
day to ride in the street cars, on the
elevated railroads and on ferry boats,
with orders to arrest every person caught
splitting on the floors Of the cars or decks
OF the boats. several arrests We're made.
One man who persisted in violating the
law, after being warned, was arrested
and held in $500 bail. Several others
who were arrested were held in $100
bail for trial. The rule OF the local
Board of Health, while not enforced by
arrests Of offenders. is having good
effect-the corridors of public buildings
offenses of the kind in street cars are
seldom committed. The next move onght
to be after the tobacco chewer who spits
indiscrimintely about the sidewalk All,
street crossings. We do not know tha
the tobacco spittal is in any way {
menace to health, but it is TO cleanliness
a close observer may find many places
along the street made filthy by tobacc,
spit, and over which some woman
skirts have dragged transferring tn
filth from the pavement to her cloth
ing, and again there are frequent instan
ces in which women's skirts are spoile,
by being spit upon, either directly an,
wilfully or by having the stream o
filth blown upon them in the high winds
We are sure that comfort and decenc
would be conserved if promscuous spit
ting upon the streets could be regulated
and, if possible, prevented. CLEANLINESS
is private virtue worthy of public eS
enplitcatiOn.

WHAT MR.. THOMAS DID.

AS we suggested yesterday, the reorga-
the interest OF Commissioner Tn, mas
and the Democrats, is not kindly re-
ceived by the Republicans Of Ibis city.
Without regard to party interests, fitness
or even the appearance of things Mr..
Thomas has bargained with the Demo
Gratis, has made another deal as between
the Regulars and the Democrats, against
the majority sentiment of the Republi-
can party. This is not only unfortu-
nate as to time, but is mistake, If not
bunder, as to policy. The unmis-
taxable sentiment of the Republican
favorable to the promotion OF the spirit
of party unity. Mr.. Thomas, as did
NIessrs. Lynn and Meggnson in the
Levy Court, has made deliberate at
tempt to open the old factional contro
vcrsy for no better purpose than to fiji
himself into snug berth and to avoid
leaving the department at the end OF
the term for which he was appointed
10y Democratic governor. This is moi
good Republican politics.
This kind Of politics is the kind OF poll
tics the Democrats have been giving
The State during the whole of their con

schemes. Messrs. Thomas and Levi
appear to have retained their old bolte
sympathies despite the general Republi
can sentiment against it.
The Union Republican sentiment i

Mayor Ashbridge and His Critics.

FROM Chester Morning Republican,
LIZ one read no newspaper except
certain brand that have their publication
in the good city of Philadelphia. one
might suppose that Mayor Ashbridge
should be in Moyamensing rather than
the costly City Hall. 1t is, therefore,
rather surprise to note the mildness
with which these same papers criticize
his last message to City Councils. The
tenor of the various editorials indicates
that these same papers incline to the
belief that the Mayor is yet a man of at
least average honesty, that he is yet en-
titled to be considered q decent member
Of society, and that before sending him
to jail for the balance of his DAYS, he
might yet be entitled to the saving
agency of jury trial.
Well, we are glad to note this COM
parative mildness. To be sure, it brings
out all the more forcibly the wickedness
Of these same papers in smirching with
out compunction the name of honorable
men, but that is past and even the thief
on the cross was promised glimpse
| OF heaven. We believe the Mayor can
stand it. though it isn't pleasant for any
decent man to be held up to contempt
| by syndicate of newspapers. But il
the Mayor is not injured in the regard
of those who know and honor him, the
| City Of Philadelphia is. And it is pos
slble that after all their hatred ant
venom. these newspapers have caught
hold of the tail of that fact.

CUBA AND PHILIPPINE NEWS.

Interest in the capture and fate of
Ag1inaldo is well nigh overshadowed
in Manila by sensational developments
present and prospective, of frauds in
the commissary department. How
widely these extend has not yet been
ascertaincd, but enough is already
known to justify the belief that they
are far-reaching. Capt. +. j. Barrows

clerks, prominent government con-
Tractor, the assistant manager of the

number of storekeepers and other per-
sons have been arrested The investi-
CATION has scarcely begun, but thous-
ands of sacks of flour, quantity OF
bacon and wagon loads of other goods,
all bearing government marks, have
been found in possession of unauthor-
lied persons. 1t is alleged that the
contractor in question, who has been
doing business approXimating $780,
600 per month, has spent huge sums in
entertaining officers.

TRANSvAAL WAR ITEMS.

The following was received from
Lord Kitchener, dated at Pretoria,
March %: BAbington's force, including
Shekelton's column attacked Delarey
1900 strong, southwest of Ventersdorp,
and, having defeated him, followed
him up rapidly with the result that
the Boer rear guard was driven in and
their convoy, including the guns, cap
tured at Vaalbank. Our troops dis
played great gallantry and dash. They
captured two l5-pounder guns, one
pompom, six maxims, 800 rounds of big
ammunition, $4,000 rounds of small
ammunition, leo rifles, SO wagons and
"a carts, beside taking l4o prisoners.
Our losses were slight. Many Beers
were killed or wounded.
A dispatch from Lord Kitchener to
the war Office, dated Pretoria, March
81, says: "0ur casualties in Gen.
Babington's action were two killed and
seven wounded The Beers left %
dead and 80 wounded. As their pursuit
was rapid many more Boer casualties
are likely. The operations of March
% drove the enemy from their positions
at Kaffirs Kraal."

Manipulating Races Improves rhvsique.
It is asserted by ethnologists that the
of the European races
to newer countries results in the i'm
'provement OF the physique. The
French Canadian, for example, is OF
more hardy frame than the Frenchman
In his own country, and the colonial
born Englishman, whether in Canada,
South Africa or Australasia, is, on the
average, slightly taller. though not
heavier, than the natives Of these ISL
ands. But, probably, the most striking
example of increased stature is to be
found in the South African Dutchmen,
and especially In the Beers OF the
Transvaal. All travellers agree that
not only are the Beers, physically, a
much finer race than either the French
or the Dutch, from whom they are de-
scended, but that they are probably
the tallest race OF white men in the
world. Two reasons for this remark
able increase in stature naturally sug-
gest themselves. First, the almost per-
feet climate, which makes the open-air
life of the South African uplands the
healthiest in the world, and secondly,
the struggle for existence which the
emigrants had to fight with the will
derness and the natives,

INDIAN MsIsIoNARY's STORY.
Years of ToIlsome Ministry Among the
Choctnw.

Little York, Ind, April 1.-tSpeclaD.
twenty-five years ago the Rev. C.
II. Thompson left Indiana. For a
time he preached in Arkansas, after
wards entering on the regular mission
airy work among the CEoctaw Indians.
For five years he lived and laborod
among the full bloods CT the western
prairies, until on April 9Th, 1885, hav-
ing lost his wife, he left the circuit
on which he had preached so long, and
commenced travelling missionary
work among the Indians of the various
tribes scattered in the west.
This irregular work involved a great
deal Of travel over the prairies. The
drinking OF so much alkali water.
brought on kidney troubles which
terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian
Territory, this noble man was strick-
en- down completely. A Chicago spe-
cialist was summoned, and after
careful examination declared that there
was not the slightest chance OF his re-
covery. Besides the prescriptions of
the doctors he tried many other medi-
cines, but all to no avail. He says:
Il had concluded that my days were
drawing to close, when l picked up
an almanac telling of the cures of Dia-
betes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

and spirits from the time l commenced
to use them, and so sent for more.

not the slightest symptom OF my old
trouble.
Il am 6s years of age tell every
body OF the wonders Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. can certainly
endorse them heartily, and vouch that
they are all that is claimed for them.
They have certainly been a God-send
to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that has ever cured Bright's
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they
never fail.
