A Proposed Commission on the Laws
Delay.

The Chamber OF Commerce addresses
itself to the relief Of the courts in this
city by preparing a bill providing for
the appointment of a commission OF
seven to examine into the condition
Of the business and the transaction
thereof of the courts in the counties
Of New York and Kings
The bill contains a suggestion that
one of It's aims is to change the existing
system of referees, and another is to
transfer elsewhere the patronage now
appertaining TO the Supreme Court
Justices sitting at special term. But
why appoint any commission when the
facts are patent and well known?
Let the prominent lawyers whose
names are furnished as indorsers OF the
bill meet and frame new law without
resorting TO the cumbrous machinery Of
an investigating committee. They can
devise some measure OF relief in a con-
ference of two OF three days.

"The New Thought

9 1t Is also called the metaphysical
movement a movement which has
nothing to do with the metaphysics
known to philosophy, but is generally
concerned with the healing OF disease,
mental and physical 1t originated in
this country, and Chicago seems to have
had much TO do in getting it up.
A long article on the New Thought,
by Mr.. PAUL TYNER, is published in
the March number Of the RerieU OF
Rerieus, but how cloudy and vague a
thing it is is indicated in this attempt
at a definition:
The movement has for It's basic purpose moth
ing less than lively realization Of the metaphysi-
cal truth at the base Of oil religion and philosophy.
not as mystical or intellectual abstraction. merely,
but as a working force In actual life, eligible to
all men everywhere"
1t belongs TO the general category in
which are included Christian Science,
Faith Cure and other methods Of healing
by means Of credulity, will power, and
the imagination. With Chicago as the
head centre OF the New Thought, '
it's next seat Of prominence is Kansas
City, where the Circle Of Silent Unity
is said by Mr. TYNER to be in direct
touch with some twenty thousand men,
bers in the United States and Canada.
sTheir one aim and teaching we are
told, is healing-not simply the curing
Of physical disorders, but that larger
gospel OF health that includes the COM
forting Of the afflicted and the binding
up Of the broken-hearted. Even more
than ten years ago in Chicago alone
there were nearly ten thousand unat-
tached believers in the new philosophy.
Boston, of course, has Metaphysi-
cal Club
The movement split up into various
sects Of a religious character, and ac-
cordingly, in an effort to bring about
some unity Of the various phases Of
the New Thought movement" a
convention of the International Meta
physical League was held at New
York in 1900. Mr.. TYNER gives a long
list of the men and women who have
been conspicuous in getting up tho
movement, describing them as giants
OF intellect, but the only names gen.
orally known to the public or at all
familiar to us were among the speak
ers at this convention, and they seem
TO have had no direct connection with
the New Thought as an organized
movement. The Rev. DIR. HEBEB NEW
TON Of the Episcopal Church read a
paper on The Psychic Power Of JESUS, v
containing an appeal for a more ra-
tional Interpretation of the miracles
OF the New Testament in the light OF
our latter-day demonstration OF the
same psychic laws by which JESUS was
able to demonstrate the power OF the
individual mind poised in the absolute
over all external and passing conditions. '
1t will easily be seen New Thought
Is requisite to comprehend what that
means. Another Of the speakers was

and the single-taxer, Mr.. BOLTON HALL,
whose paradoxical theme was The
Good in Evil
In connection with the New Thought :
movement is the Mental Science Asso-
ciation,' which already has established
about score Of mental science temples
in various parts Of the country where
proceed the investigation Of mental
laws and the promotion OF health and
Happiness with a particular aim TO
the development Of that nobler egoism
which is the foundation Of just action.
Then there are the Divine Scientists,
found more especially at st. Louis, San
Francisco and Denver. who regard
the new metaphysics as new religion,
peculiarly divine and distinctly theologi-
cal in character. At Denver church
or material home Of the cult has been
built at a cost OF 100000, the money
being contributed by the wife Of
prominent Denver banker Many
magazines and other periodicals de-
voted TO the propagation OF the New
Thought are published, and books on
the subject are described as having a
great circulation.
Unquestionably, It Is appealing to
very many people who may be classed
among the more intelligent and whose
social condition is much above the aver
age. The New Thought seems to
be accounted more respectable than its
oongener, Mrs. EDDY's Christian Science,
and as it does not necessarily require
separation from established religious
associations it is moro comfortable for
people otherwise OF conservative dis
position. For example, the Rev. DR..
HEBEB NEWTON, who seems to be put
in the cult by this article, continues a
minister in good standing in the Episoo-
pal Church.
Exactly what the movement is driving
at. however, We are unable to make out
from this history Of it in the Reriev OF
Reueus: but evidently it fourishes the
better because precise definition or any
clear understanding is impossible. The
old proverb about everything unknown
being magnificent in the popular imag-
ination applies to the New Thought.

usually goes 10 college TO learn some

The average college boy or man takes

tho President and the Professor may

Of common knowledge that the country

every day bills of fare with full line OF
dishes such as a man with an income
OF $4,000 to s1co,ooo a year would be
glad to have his cook make. II that
monarch were equal to the task. Surely
there can be no lack OF instruction in
cookery.
There has grown up a class OF we'll
educated, independent, self-reliant young
women, some from the colleges. who
seem TO be content as they are and to
feel no call to marriage. They are con-
tent with their own lines. Celibacy
and self-development seem TO be their
creed. They are blameless In character
and cultivated in mind: and they are
living, at least in their young days,
eager, earnest and contented lives.
They pursue their own careers, and are
happy In their friendships and their
pursuits. 1t strikes us that the WIDEN
ing education Of women may have some
tendency-we wish to avoid overstate-
ment--not to unfit educated women
for marriage, but TO mako some Of them
industrious Of marriage. We will not
say that they arc harder to please or
more conscious Of their superiority.
They have a life that suits them, but it
Is a narrower life, after all. than that

Tho EXPLANATION.

The enforcement Of law in this county
Is not function of the District Attorney,
but OF the Mayor. Responsibility for
violation OF the law comes to the District
Attorney indirectly as the official charged
with Furnishing crime.
1t is a very remarkable thing, there
fore, to hear a notification to the police
that statute so important us the Sun
day Liquor law must be respected and
enforced, coming from the lips Of the
District Attorney.
The explanation is that, the Mayor
having undertaken to continue the Tam
many system Of non-enforcement, to
such form OF lawlessness the District
Attorney refuses to be party.
The great number of liquor saloons
which the Raines law permits to be open
on Sunday is evidence that the statute
itself was passed in good faith. At any
rate, District Attorney JEROME accepted
his present office in ood faith.

Educated Woman and Bread Making

At the meeting OF the National Edu-
cational Association in Detroit last year,

Clark University of Worcester, asserted
that the higher education or too much
of il is making the young women sub
jected to il unfit for motherhood and
household duties. That opinion is not
peculiar to DR.. HALL. II has often
been asserted energetically and denied
as energetically, even bitterly and con-
temptuously. At the meeting Of the
State Superintendent Of Schools in
Chicago last week, Prof. KIEHLE OF
the University OF Minnesota averred
that the intellectual education of women
is now carried to excess, and he seemed
TO mean or fear that the household is
losing as the college gains. He lauded
the real homely arts and sciences, do
nestle art and science, the first and
best Of all, the rearing Of children, the
care of the home; but there needed
