4 LARGE QUESTION.

During the last few years much has been
done TO make the life OF the fat man more
worth the living. While we have lavished
wealth upon other worthy objects, we have not
forgotten those who must pay the penalty of
a good appetite and good digestion. BY mul-
dplying elevators have diminished stair
climbing, and by increasing the means of trans
pOrtation have diminished the necessity for
locOmOtion by means of the pedal extremities
We have, in fact, made allowance for him of
the supcrfiuOuS embonpOint almost everywhere
save in the streetcar, where he perceptibly re-
duces the sitting and standing capacity Fat
mems clubs even have been organized where
his social welfare as well as his physical will
be looked after.
But now comes the news that along with
the man past forty the man with gray hair
and the man with large family the man of
expansive giTth is not wanted. 1t has been
figured out by some statistician in PHILADELPHIA
that the fat man is indolent; that the hustler
the fast nervous. energetic worker Is snewy
rather than fat. and does 30 per cent more
work thau the soft. stout fellow So EMPLOYERS
refuse to hire applicants of ample figure and
employment agencies advise them to reduce
their weight before beginning to canvass for
"A job. Not until man has been out of work
long enough and made sufficiently extensive
cuts in his daily ratons TO give him that much
sought sinewy appearance will he be permitted
TO indulge in the luxury of labor.

.SODOM AGAIN.

The New York World" is extracting enter
tainment from parallel between fusion and
Sodom, but narrOws it too much in the appllca-
ton and so distorts its bearings. Says our
valued contemporary:
"Peradventure ten shall be found there for
whose sake it shall not be destroyed But even
the irreducible minimum does not exist. for the
inexOrable Hearst allowed the righte J1E only
five places on the ticket.
We should not like to say that there were ten
of the righteous the fusion county ticket, for
there are only eleven names thereon; neither
would we prematurely assent to the opinion that
there are "only five" of them there. But fusion
embraces much more than the county ticket, in
cluding also municipal court nominees and AS
Sembly and adermanic candidates. and, while
we have not the facts at hand. we venture to
suggest that among all these as many as fifty
righteous men, the number originally stipulated
for as the price Of Sodom's redemption, may
'peradventure" be found.
Our point was however. that in the days of
Sodom righteous men were thought so we'll
worth while that the Lord was willing to spare
the number numberleSS" of the wicked for the
sake of ten of them Now, the righteous are
jus: important to us to-day as they ever
were Therefore we would not have good citi
zens refuse to vote for any good men they may
find tie fusion ticket merely because Of the
improper and unfortunate associations thrust
upon them. The lesson Of Sodom was the value
of good men-even if it was also their scarcity.
We have no cOmpunCtions about the visitation
that shall fall upon the unrighteOus, nor would
we see the righteous destroyed in an undiscrim-
mating effort to reach the proper objects OF
wrath. We don't have to- AS the election was
conducted at Sodom there were no adequate
provisions for Independent voting. 1t was all
none
The World" clings to its old strict construc-
zionist habits and would appear to conclude
from the parallel, las with Sodom, with fu-
sion" But not There is Judge Whitman;
we believe THE World" looks upon him with
considerable favor. Is he any less useful to the
city because he has been nominated by fusion
that wasn't fit to be made? Then there are the
Republican candidates for the Assembly who

World" has seen and said Of the Tammany rep

SNOW CONTRACTS.

Commissioner Bensel of the Street Cleaning
Department has decided to complete the reyo-
luton he started long ago in his official domain

who remove" snow from our highways The
form of agreement hallowed by Tammany ira
ditons has proved so pleasing to contractors
that DIR. Bensel's amendments will surely LET
the black hag of pessimism into the tents of
the cartmen. The rule has been to pay the
contractors according to the amount of snow
that has fallen Hence the two most prom
