OUR NATIONAL SELFISHNESS
the Civic Rcfor-ner--Bnlks All !
Progressive Efforts.

"a great pail of selfishness covers
this country from ocean to ocean, and
the one demand of the high average
citizen is to be left alone" says Fred
erick Trevor Hill, in Everybody's
Magazine. ITO crafty this desire he
is ready and willing-no matter how
honest he may personally be-to coun-
tenance anything and everything, and
to allow each man to be a law unto
himself. 1t is daily becoming more
fashionable and knowing to sneer at
the civic reformer and belitrle his ef-
forts in every line. The tirst thing we
hear about any man who takes off his
coat and starts in to better existing
conditions is that he is out for the
stuff or that he won't last long, but
the usual verdict is that the reformer
is a hypocrite and beside-Well, it's
much harder to do business than 1t
formerly was That, after all, is the
objectionable sin. 1t is harder to do
business'-an unusually cautious
phrase in these days of plain speaking
and anybody or anything which
stands in the why of short cuts is a
nuisance, to be eliminated at the earli-
est opportunity"

at each breath draw the abdomen in and

minutes to half an hour is a long enough
time to devote to jiujitsu, and this in

PENSION FOR CITY E T

Assemblyman Remsen, yesterday,
introduced his bill to pension all New
York city employees after thirty years
of service. Former Corporation
Counsel John Whelan and William
Haag, of the Comptroller's office, were
in Albany in the interest of the bill.
Mr.. Haag says that tho bill would
affect only about 5000 employees. A
pension system already exists for
school teachers, policemen, frcmen
and other city employees.
Friends of the bill say that no part
of the expense would fall upon the
taxpayers, but would be made up of
contributions from the prospective
benefciaries. The pension would be
half pay.
If the bill passes il will be a great
benefit to all of the employees of the
Street Cleaning Department. through
out Staten Island.

The winter whitening OF animals is
explained by Capt. Barrett Hamilton, of
Tue Royal Irish academy, as an effect of
poor or uneven nutrition of the skin.
Atrophy of the pigment cells occurs in
winter over the parts that accumulate
lat IN summer and autumn and in very
cola countries may extend over the en-
tire body. Similar defective nutrition
is noticed where the skin directly over

young lady fell in Second street. The
reporter had been advising the people
to scatter ashes on the sidewalks in
that street, for some of them were
like glass. Good housekeepers demur
at that, because it gets tracked into
the houses. Use salt, sand or sawdust
then, but after all what docs the
tracks Of ashes amount to when placed
in the balance with broken limbs and
bruises? Ono should be glad to do

Indianapolis, Ind, May 12.-The
first session Of the Indiana Democrat
ic convention was called to order by
State Chairman O'Brien. Temporary
Chairman Alonzo G.. Smith made an
address counseEing acquiescence in
the decisions of the majority as true
Democratic doctrine. He accused
President Roosevelt of ignoring the
constitution and laws, and acting
with arbitrary power. He charged the
entire legislative and executive de-
partments of the government with
corruption. He favored the building
Of the Panama Canal. but said the
Republicans were incapable Of build
ing it honestly. He said the Demo-
Gratis opposed bad trusts only while
Republicans fostered dangerous mo-
nopolies. He said it was imbecility
to expect Republicans to reform
themselves. This convention will Sc
lect National delegates and adjourn
to July 20, to nominate a state ticket.
The hall was packed to the doors.
There were demonstrations as the
leaders entered. When State Chair
man O'Brien called the Democratic
state convention to order majority
and minority reports were offered on
permanent organization, the former
was presented by Alonzo Green
Smith, the latter by Judge James
McCabe Chairman O'Brien announe-
ed no names for delegates at large
