PLATTS MEN AGAINST REFORM. Mr. Fiat's Police Commissioners have furnished Mayor Strong the decent ex- use for theit remuval for which, no @oudt, ne has beer: waiting. Their com- Bine yesterday with the remaining Tam- many ‘nan in the Board to defeat Com- missioner Andrews's plan for reorgania- fing the force was a deflance which the Mayor cannot afford to brook. Even if they nad doubts of the efM- elency of the Andrews plan, the two Republican Commissioners had no busi- ess ic oppose it unless they had xome- thing better to suggest There must be @ reform of some kind in the Depart- ment, and Mr. Androws's plan was a firrt step in that direction, and the only @ne #0 far suggested in the Board There was nothing irrevocable about M.

This would be a violation of public order. Slander or libel being an incitement to thie violation ie an offense cognizable by the criminal law. But when a man in New York slanders oe lent of the District of Columbia there In no danger of @ breach of peace in that district. The slandered citizen may very properly come to New York and peli the nore or otherwise contumell- ously assault the slanderer, But that would be an offense against the public order of New York, not the District of Columbia It ts not concelvable that the slanderer would go to the District of Columbia for the purpose of giving the siandered an opportunity to break the peace ot that community. The incitement, therefore, being to violence in New York only, the offense against the criminal laws is there alone, and the attempt to make the slander a criminal offense in the District of Colum: bia and to drag the offender there for tral is an attempt against justice which of the law should be No such precelent for oppression should be established in a free country. ONE CONGRES:MAN'S DISGUISE. There was no need of Representative Cannon telling us how bad and worth- less the Fifty-third Congress was. It spoke for Itself, Any condemnation of it ogatory. But bad as it was we do not see that any of the New York Congress- |men who have returned from Washing- ton have gone into hiding or tried to disguise themselves or conceal their con- nection with that body. Bensitiven in a etatesman Is a rate aMiction. Legislators, Congressmen, Beflators, aye, and even Cabinet officers, possess a pecullar pachydermatous resil- fence which causes the ahafte of public ridicule to rebound from thelr person: and they go along merrily with a never- touched-me alr tbat is disappointing and tantalizng to those who think public officers shoud have fe Congresaman Catehin, must be made of different material from his colleaguet. We shudder to think how his sentience must deluge his ten- der soul with suffering. He w ber of the Fifty-third Congresi seems to be heartily and unreservedly ashamed of it. And he has gone and ruthlessly cut off his long red whiskers, fo that his former friends and acquain- tances cannot recognize him. A man, well dressed and apparently respectable, was found by the police be- tween 11 and 12 o'clock last night lying on the sidewalk opposite No. 235 Broad- way insensible and with a fractured skull. The doctors say he will die of his injuries, If such occurrences as these are to be often repeated, It will become evident to everybody that a prompt reorganina- tion of the police for-e is needed, whether made through a bi-partisan Commission or @ military martinet. If New York does not desire to emulate Chicago It will not do to pick up bodies of dead or insensible men at the street corners every night. Lawrence Murtha, three times denied the refuge of a Williamsburg hospital, died of pneumonia Thursday in the Ray: mond Btrest Jail, 80 much for Brooklyn. Mrs. Margaret Tobin, dying of pneu- monia and heart disease, was wet down ae a plain drunk in the Mercer street Folice station Wednesday morning, Bhe died in her cell after lying there moan- ing for couple of hours. So much for New York. And it is an of s0- called humanity, Mayor Strong was quite right when he sald New York wanted the whole of the present Police Court Bench to go. It is also true that New York wants the power of appointing the new City Mag- istrates vested in the Mayor. There should be an end to this talk of giving that power to Judge Cowing or to any- body else except the Mayor, the murder of Miss Ging in Minneapolis was expected. It was the only thing to do, He has shown himself to be a vicious and dangerous person, and the life he let could lead only to State prison or the scaffold. Chivalry ts dead in Flushing.

If Brooklyn citizens cannot have clean streets they shoud at least be provided with strips of grass to wipe their feet on. Now that it has been decided that the New York police and Westchester authorities have equal jurisdiction in the matter, there Is no excuse for not promptly cloning the “Little Monte Ca lo” pool-room.

The influence of diet on the growth ef hair has often been discussed. It has been shown that atarchy mixtures, milk and many other foods recognized as being highly nutritious, are, in fact, sure death to hair growth. Chemical analysis Proves that the hair is composed of 6 per cent. of sulphur and its ash, of 2 per cent. of silicon and 10 per cent. of iron and manganese. The foods which contain the larger per cent. of the above named elements are meat, oatmeal and graham. Henry pointedly says: “Nations which eat the most meat have the most hair.” To Wear Gaiters Correctly. How few women realize that ill-fitting gaiters give the daintiest foot a neg- lected appearance; besides which it hag the undesirable effect of making it seem larger. Gaiters are worn at this time of the year and are most useful, not only becaune of their warmth, but on account of the way they preserve dresses by preventing the edges of the skirt being rubbed and soiled against the boots. A Perfect-fitting gaiter in some cases actually seems to lessen the size of the feet, always, however, imparting a trim- ness that is anything but unpleasing. They should fit the instep without @ crease, and !f not too light @ color will by no means add to the size of the feet. .

I would say that if 1-3 of the scholars study grammar, 1-6 physi- ology and 1-7 bookkeeping, the entire amount studying same will be 9-14 of the entire class. 14-14 equal whole class, 5-14, of the difter- study algebra, The pupils studying algebra divided into three classes, therefore 6-42 of the entire class constitute each algebra class; 1? of the m ebra class study for the whole class, will equal 84-5 of 5, or scholars; 1-9 of the desks are occupled and 84 nolare occupy shem, hence to occupy the en- tire number of seats It will take 9-7 of 84, oF 108 scholars.
