Will Congress continue to ®tand by the selfish and unprincipled Sugar Trust at the coat of a great and internationally important industry? A GOOD THING FOR HUMANITY. It 1s a good thing for humanity that William E. Gladstone still lives. Of all the atatesmen—so-called—in the world, he alone has ventured to sound a call to arms against the bloodthirsty Turk. ‘The same trumpet tones that rallied civilization to the rescue ot Bulgaria now summon humanity to ald Armenia. Younger and jess courageous leaders first belittled the horrors and then ignored them, uncertain and fearful as to the consequences of definite action. The truer ear and keener eye of the old Statesman heard the first clamor of rising public emotion, saw the flash of the newly drawn blade of popular in- @ignation, and sprang to lead where others feared even to follow. Doubtless it will be said that the Grand Old Man merely saw and em- braced the chance to “make @ hit’ the expense of his successors, and, & way, rivals. Probably this is true, but what of it? Is there ever a good act done except for a selfish motive, if you investigate deep enough to find it? Let the Grand Old Man make his “hit” {f that what he ie after. It fs @ good thing, all the same, for humanity ani Armenia that #0 en- Nghtenedly scifish a man exists. DISCOUNTING CRITICION. In accordance with the Platt pro- gramme, Senator O'Connor, sometimes called by his constituents “the Bing- hamton Bellows,” was made President Pro tem. of the Benate yesterday. Mr. O'Connor evidently had an inkling of the manner in which the preas would look upon his election to the temporary Presidency, as he took occasion to make @ speech in which he told the Benators that they must expect to receive ‘much revere criticism from the public press” which, “with some newspapers will de- generate to vulgar and malicious per- onal abuse." ‘There in no warrant for any such as- tertion on the part of Mr. O'Connor. ‘The Senate has been treated with much fairness by the newspapers, and the Lexow Committee, of which Mr. O'Con- nor was a member, received ald and encouragement from the entire press, which was courteously and gratefully acknowledged by Mr. Goff and Senator | Lexow. The only severe criticism of the Committee's work as being marred by bargainings and discrimination, and As unsatisfactory in the end, came from Dr. Parkhurst, When Mr, O'Connor charges the newspapers with indulging in “vulgar and malicious personal abuse,” he is guilty of a great injustice. It in cer- tainly neither vulgar, malictous nor abusive to say that Mr, O'Connor wears the Platt collar and that his election.n« President pro tem. lowers the dignity and cnaracter of the Senate AN OPEN QUESTION. John Burns, the English labor leader and member of Parliament, made a} speech in Boston last night at Faneuil) Hall, Referring to the manner in which he had been assailed by the Chicago newspapers, Mr. Burns said in am in- terview that they had abused him be. cause of his remark that Chicago was a pocket edition of hell. He was willing! to admit that he wag not strictly cor-| rect in this, and that he might more| teuthfully have said hell is a pocket edition of Chicago. It ts evident that the English leader is in doubt as to the respective merits of the two places, It is, however, ! scarcely fair to leave the dectsion of the question which is preferable, hell or Chicago, to the people of Boston, They | ‘are not supposed to know anything about the former place, which th regard as specially reserved for New Yorkers, At Chicago, during the World's Fair, it |was known that the principal, patrons of the Plaisance were Boston people, and the Boston women in especial were anxious to explore, in order to expose, of course, Its wickedness, A WHIFF OF THE LOBBY. The “outside busybodies” do not seem inclined to lose time in sending thelr bills to the Legislature, If they do not run matters at Aibany during the ses- sion it will not be because of any lack of activity. Mr Lawson introduced the Seventy'’s Power of Removal bill inthe Assembly 8 ¥OCM us she organization ef- fected, Mr. Lexow did the same in the Senate. | The investigation furor does not abate. A resolution to print ten thou- sand copies of the Lexow Committee's Tepor* was pussed in the Senate, Of course, this 1s only a first instalment, and the Job will be a profitable one for the State Printer, if not for the State, Mr, Ainsworth showed that he was not going to let the Senate have the fun all to itself, and so introduced a joint resolution to appoint a joint smelling committee es the Lexow Committee's successor.
