It has been evident for @ long time that J. B. Riley superintendent of prisons in New York state was en- tirely out of sympathy with the meth- ods introduced by Warden Osborne at Sing Sing and that he was simply waitirg for the first opRortunity which presented itself to create a vacancy at that institution. He has repeat- edly gone out of his way to embarass Osborne and following the indictment of the warden he did his utmost to get him out f the ofice whaile he was under fire. It was Osborne's methods as much as Osborme himself which aroused Riley's oppoeition and he lost no time in manifestiug this in the case of the new.wardzn, Dr. Kirchwey, who is temporarily in cnarge at Sing Sing until the Osborne charges are heard, by ordering 8 transfer of 66 of the Sing Stng convicts to another prison without consultation with Dr. Kirch- wey, which was against the tnder- standing under which the temporary warden took the job. This was the last straw and it was noi surprising that Governor Whit- man stepped in and took a hand in the muddle by calling for the resigna- tion of Superinténdent Riley. This may meet with some opposition but he must go. The governor has shown his hand by declaring Riley'’s action “drastic and precipitate” and bound to break down the administration and make the new warden's position in- tolerable. It is therefore intended to €2t 11d of the trouble maker and it is ¢ ovident that the governoe be- lisves thav the reforms which Osborne has instituted ‘should be given a fair (rist now, and it is not improbable tuat the pussing of Riley wil mean the ‘matitution of new prison methods in { the Bmpire state. i EDITORIAL NOTES.

The newspaper that would please every- one would be flatter than dish-water, that has never had a -greased pan washed in it! It is an open question whether the editor” has ever lived yet who printed a paper that approached his ideal, or even pleased himself. Making & good newspaper is a work of art, gnd it ealls for the highest ef- ficlency and has no place for empty pretence. It takes several genera- tions of mer to make a popular and successful newspaper. Hear this from a eynio: “Time im- proves most things, except wome: they. of course, have been perfect from the beginning”” If he had sald they bave been.dear from the begin- ning more of us could endorse the sentiment. But does woman need this seniimental nonsense, any way?] Man has sct her in the home as queen and in the statutes with “cows, hens and dogs, and chattels.” Hp wveally has put her on a pedestal as property and those who write the statutes care. lessly place her at the end of mater- ial things instead of at the beginning. Woman {e an equal partner for some men, an unequa] partner for others, and a simple convenience for too many. There was once a woman #00d enough te be the mother of God: but have you noticed that when it comes to Presidents this honor has been accorded the state of Virginia. Lincoln and other great sons of women have said ell that they were or could become they owed to thelr mothers. If mothers are greater than the greatest men why should the most contumptible specimens of manhood be given greater voice in government than they? What is the use of sa: ing- “Men have sight—women insight” —woman was first at the cross and last' at the grave and go on making | ta8¢ door-mats of them? Woman has a share in government among savages. Who loves to think of a beautiful sunset as “the death-bed of the day— beautiful.” It took a morbid imagina. tion to see in the sun’s sky-pictures & symbol of Leauty in death. In no sense does the day die—it is mot really tho end of itself. The day lives after its closing which is not at sun- set, but at midnight. The day begin: and ends in darkness beneath a som- bre canopy alight with stars. Its whitened light represents m: op- porturity and God’s love—God's near- ness and man's need. Time never ends—day is & measure upon it like the markings upon a yard stick. The sunset is an imaginary condition, for the sun never sets or riges—simply furaishes earth with light and shade, conditions necssary for the mainten- ance of life in every form, while the earth revolves upon its axis. Is there :lefllms beautiful life? Since we cannot comprehend it we all in a degree fear it. Hope and Faith bridge this chasm with a rain- -bridge for the trusting, for those who look up and never see a dark and gaping abyss Dereath tbem. Do feel like flouting sympathy? At ttfl{: there is nothing the rllmu\ heart needs more. Yet, when the late Edith Cavell, was pleading with a Prussian officer in behalf of suffering Belgiens he said: “Pity is a waste of time—it destroys the heelth.” Is this a Christian or & wholesome senti- ment?

There is in the human eye a point where the optic nerve enters which is known as the blind spot. If this tiny zone of darkness be judged a- physio- logical defect, it 1s, at least, one from which no mortal is free. The strongest and healthiest sight has its single point of clouded vision—a strange provision of nature, but one from which, in most situations, we suffer little disadvan- e. A blind spot on the moral retina, however, should cause us infinitely more concern. If there is some par- ticular angle of the mind along which we cannot think clearly, measure of confusion is bound to foilow.. A dark place in the consclence may easily cause more trouble than one in the eye. it not often astonished you-that could be so punctilious in regard to certain points of the moral code and 80 careless in regard to others? A man may keep almost the whole range of the commandments and yet offend grievously and continuously as regards & single one. A generally semsitive and illuminated conscience may still as dark as constant puzzle. The conduct of even le is apt to be streaked 1 have known, for In- stance, men of acknowledged generos- ity and rectitude to display unaccount- able harshness in driving a bargain. A lavish patron of charity may at the same time be a grinder of the faces of the poor. Men who would stand aghast at the very thought of drinking lquor or of committing adultery may see no wrong in the meanest kind of Dbusiness dishonesty. Or one whose temper is generous and free may be juite -insensible to the pain his loose its may cause his family circle. The Apostle Paul testified that in his early bitter persecution of unoffending Christians he verily thought he was doing God's service.

Thé mischievous Diccon, learning of the needie’s loss, excites Gammer to wrath by declaring he had seen Dame Chat pick it up at Gammer’s door. At the same time, Diccon hints to Dame Chat that Gammer has accused her of stealing the Gurton poultry. These misunderstandings lead to exciting en- counters between the two women, finally ending by Gemmer seeking the baily, to invoke the aid of the law. Incidentally, somebody gives poor Hodge a sharp slap, and there is a wild cry of pain, as he has discovered the missing need] all the time hiding in hls clothes, waiting to prod him when properly coerced! One of the funny scenes in the quaint comedy is where Hodge seeks light from the eyes of Gib, the cat, to en- able him to find the missing needle, thinking in the dark that the cat's eyes are sparks. Finally, Hodge fell to swearing, as came best to his turn, The fire was sure bewicht, and there- fore would not burn.
