Spouse, With the qualifications of rival
aspirants for judicial nomination the
great majority Of the voters can have
ne acquaintance. To aid them in de-
Gliding between one candidate and an
other they need expert advice, which
can be furnished only by those whose
professional work affords them oppor-
tunities for study of the personality,
methods and requirements of each man.
The opinion of the reputable lawyers OF
New York should have great weight
with the other voters.
Whether the Bar Association, running
an independent ticket, could elect its
candidates TO Office is a question. Sue
cess for such a ticket seems improbable,
but since Mr.. JERoME's election it can
o be called impossible. The greatest
victory the Bar Association could win,
however, would be to render the nomi-
nation of any unfit man for judicial Office
by any political organization an act OF
political suicide, and in any campaign it
may conduct to bring this about it will
have the practically undivided support
of the entire community.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sfr: Amy one who
has come In close contact with those individuals
who Insist upon carrying stumpS Of u~nlighted
cigars into cars and other places where air does
not penetrate freely will understand what is meant
when they stop to realize the number OF pieces
OF rank tobacco OF this description which are daily
thrown upon the tracks OF the subway because the
smoker insists upon holding on TO the old stump
until tho last minute. and then throwing IL upon the
tracks when the train arrives.
In the subway there are signs with letters as
large as a dogs body declaring that smoking in
the tunnel is prohibited. but It Is not an extraor-
binary thing 10 see a man leaning his bach against
one OF these signs pufhng a huge cigar.

would only stop TO think what an effect II has on
the atmosphere. perhaps this nuisance would be
abated. II the peoples own good sense does not
prompt them to cease these practices the Board Of
Health should take action In the matter and force

II may be said that the number OF those who
smoke in the subway Is comparatively small, but
when II is considered that $4,000 people use it
every day, a small percentage throwing cigars

makes a vast difference 10 the subway atmosphere.

In Mr.. Kelfer's Prime.

In 1880 n SAMUEL LEE was the Re-
publican candidate for Representative
in Congress from the First South Caro-
lima district. The Democratic candi-
date, JOHN S. RICHARDSON, was elected
Upon the face of the returns. LEE con-
tested the election. The majority of
the Committee on Elections was Replb-
lican, yet a majority report of that COM
mittee recommended that LEE have
leave to withdraw, A minority report
declared that LEE was elected and en-
titled to his seat. A motion to substi-
tute the minority for the majority report
was adopted by the House by a vote of
ia to ia. This was in the last DAYS of
the Forty-seventh Congress, on March
8, 1888.
The Hon. j. WARREN KEIFER, Speaker
of the Forty-seventh Congress and a
member of the F~ifty-ninth, describes
the House OF the former as Somewhat
peculiar" 1t was. 1t consisted Of 147
Republicans, 1876 straight Democrats,
2 Readjusters and Q G~reenbackers. After
the motion to adopt the substituted reso-
luton had received a vote OF 12s to O.
no quorum, 1877 members not voting
a successful flibustering attack began.
In describing it Mr.. KEIFER recalled the
distinguished Republican opposition to
the Observation-Disclosures infal-
libility OF the Speakers eye, a pow
subsequently utilized by Mr.. REED:
Then commenced the work of nlIbusternV,
the most remarkable in character: but the nlibus.
tennT was done By claiming that there was no
quorum, and yea and nay votes were called all the
balance OF the day and all the night Of the Sd Of
March. 1883 with a short recess between c and 0
O'Clock on the 4th. The nIlbustering went on TO
prevent the majority OF the House from seating
SkNURL LEE, AZ that time, slthough II WAS the
opinion OF the Speaker that he had a right 10 coun;
a quorum, and 30 sisted in the course OF this NIL
clustering. he did not do II, because on the Uepub.

rum. That was the only reason 4, was not done"
As the small result Of great flibus-
tering LEE was never sworn in. His
name was never put upon the roll:

what Mr.. Hughes Couldn't Do.

Further Democratic comment on the
lpotentiality of Mr.. CHARLES +. HUGHES,
The mterrifed and the terrible, is found
Fin this remark by the Union and Adrer-
fiser of Rochester:
: IT Is certain that Mr.. HUGHES, as Governor
could not reform his party against Its will"
Yes, that is certain. The fact, how
ever, is not strictly pertinent. The
Republican party in the Empire State
does not need reforming. 1t is sound,
Honest, hopeful, and, as we venture to
believe, uncommonly anxious to range
itself this year behind a leader to whom
it can intrust its excellent reputation
and honorable intentions as un~reservedly
Ias it has intrIsted them in national
affairs to THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
What was the Presidents plurality in
New York at the election year before
last? 1t was 175, 552.
What was the plurality of BENJAMIN B.
ODELL, Jr., the last time he submitted
his political and personal credit to the
test of a popular vote? 1t was $500;
and not one-tcnth of that which is now
known about ODELL was known to
honest Republicans then.
That seems to show-that the Republi-
can party understands differences.
In discussing such matters it is i'm
portant to employ terms of precision.
What needs reforming is not the Re-
publican voters of New York, not the
Republican party as a continuous organi-
~zation. but the temporary Republican
leadership for graft by grafters. The
CRATER Boss out and the honest leader
In, and the thing is done.
MIR. EUGHEs as Governor, or a man like
him, would not need to experiment con-
cerning his ability to reform the Repub-
.lican party against its will.

ing the election. There Is a bill in The
House to pay his legal representatives
$40, 49,. 80 as "pay and allowances, made
by reason of the election OF said LEE
to the Forty-seventh Congress and his
services therein"
The latter phrase seems humorous.
LEES services consisted in being ready
to take his seat. If lie had taken his
seat, even on the last day Of the Forty
seventh Congress, he would have been
technically entitled to his pay. As ii is,
the only ground that the claim Of his
representatives rests upon is that If
the wicked filibusters hadn't prevented
a quorum the House would have taken
final action on his case and he would
have been seated. Why should Congress
make them a gift Of $40, 900?
Yet the Committee on Claims In five
Congresses has reported in favor OF
this claim. 1t was laid on the table last
week. But such claims have damnable
iteration. Some time the good nature
Of some House will pay the salary Of the
man who would have been a member if
there had been a quorum.

In the Cooper-Dowling bill now before
the Legislature provision is made for a
separate health department for the Dor
oughs Of Queens and Brooklyn, which at
present are in charge Of Sanitary Superin-
tendents. The bills supporters allege that
under the present system physicians outside
Of Manhattan are placed at a disadvantage
In handling contagious diseases, which
would not be the case II they had a borough
health department. II the specific conn
plants made by the Brooklyn physicians are
justified some changes in administration
are obviously necessary, but the proposed
decentralization Of the Health Boards pow
es Is entirely opposed to the interests Of the
city. The Board OF Health should possess
exclusive authority over the whole COM
munity. and the setting up Of an executive
officer in charge of Brooklyn would be a
dangerous departure from the policy OF the
oity in matters relating to the preservation
Of the public health.
