If it be true that Platt has concluded © deal whereby Tammany votes at Al Bany are to assist him in defeating re- form measures the state of Tammany has become lowly indeed. Defeat, even when it comes as a wiekly merited punishment fur maltea @ance tn office and betrayal of puiiic Qrust, is not necessarily fatal to a po Mtical organization fo ancient, and, tak- ing all its record together, so honorabi ‘Tammany Hall, especially when that sation, at its lowest ebb, has r © following vf more than 10,00| Even so disastrous an overthrow of lest November should in real- of w benefit than of an evil 4m purging the organization of the cor- Tupt and unscrupulous element that had | brought it into disrepute. But if, instead of reforming itself and Fenewing its fight openly and honorably, the defeated organization crawls on ite knees to the oppcsing boss to beg a few erumbs of patronage, its case is hcpeless indeed. For Tammany, the great, all-powerful organization, to weaken ‘ts enemies by deals with Republican traiors like ! latt was, perhaps, good politics. But for Tammany, beaten in a great battle, to make an alliance with the Ridiculous Boas who seeks to rob reform of its victory, is to add dishonor to defeat and stamp Tammany Hall forever as unwor- thy af restoration to pubite confidence. Is great Tammany, that for genera- tions has licked all creation in New Yorke politics, really going now to lick | the beots of Tom Platt, or is it only @uother of the Ridiculous Boss's bluffs” LIGHT AT ELMIRA. ‘There is good hope now that the man ‘@goment of the Elmira Reformatory will Be in earnest reformed; that the brutal- fties of Brockwayism wi:l forever cease, nd that the financial affairs of the in- stitution, about which suspicions cluster, Dut which has never been properly in- vestigated, wiil be rescued from the c trol of the Elmira “ring.” ‘The State Board of Charities has called Gttention in its report to the necessity @f legislation on the subject, and Se for Persons has introduced a bil to eompletely change the system of man- egement. ‘There ought to be no opposition to the Persons bill.

The disgrace of the Reformatory is a stain the State has earried long enough. and it should be the effort of every honest member of the Legislature to get rid of it without delay. 13 LJ HUNG CHANG IN DANGER! Im the interest of civilization it ts to fe hoped that the rumor of peril to Li Hung Chang's life through the wound Ihe received from the Japanese fanatic $s imeorrect. But such an injury at the Peace Envoy's advanced age must necessarily be of a serious character. ‘The suggestion that his death would @nuse Japan to at once discontinue the war and abandon the fruits of her victory is, however, absurd.

But above Twenty-third street to the Central Park 1s now the only pleasure drive through the city, and the present proposition proves the necessity of protecting it for all time to come from the greed of the ‘a!lroad companies. Such corporations have no con- sciences, If they have, they are as hard as their iron rails and as invisible as their cables. Whatever may be done below Twenty-third street for the relief of Broadway, the right to the enjoyment of a clear Fifth avenue from ‘Twenty- third street to the Park should be post- lively secured to the people. HOW FAR DOES IT REACH! If Senator Mullin has his way at Al- buny, a revolution will take place in theatrical matters in this State. He has introduced a bill prohibiting any woman trom appearing in public in tights or In “any indecent costume.” Violation of the law is made a misdemeanor and is punishable by imprisonment of not less than thirty days nor more than one year, A similar penalty 1s imposed on any person who procures any woman so to appear, while a second offense; after conviction, entails imprisonment within a limit of two to five years and a fine ranging from one hundred to one thou- sand dollars. “Indecent” pictures must no longer be exhibited either on theatri- cal bills or in so-called “high art” maga- zines or newspapers. Senator Mullin's modesty takes a wide range. There will, of course, be much legal controversy as to what constitutes “indecent costume.” Does {t embrace the bodice of a dress as well as the skirts? As a woman ts prohibited from “appearing” at “any place where male persons are assembled," will the prohl- bition reach the audience at the opera and the guests at a “Patriarchs’ Hall" or other similar entertainment? Will “ly- ing pletures” nearly ax far down as the waist be forbidden as well as abbreviat- ed skirts ‘Then will there be an end to the time- honored circus?

To Relieve That Cough. One's doctor will encouragingly inform one, when struggling back to strength from an atteack of grippe: “That cough of yours will have to wear out. You can scarcely expect to rid yourself of it before warmer weather.” If this is true the least that one can do is to mitigate, so far as is possible, the viru- lence of -he throat affection, Glycerine is excellent as part of a mixture for moistening the dry feeling there. Either with water or with whiskey it is bene ficial, but the latter dose is rather sick- ishly sweet for one already nauseated by the influenza, Equal parts of glycer. ine and lemon juice make a compound which {s not unlike strong lemonade in taste, refreshing to take after severe coughing and is highly recommegded by physicians, m Grano Salis.
