Thomas ts wiser than that. He is fully aware that the people hereabouts ‘know exactly how and how much he has evilied every effort of good citizens to (et out of the coils of machine politics. ' ‘That document is not for dwellera in the city. After the usual style of bunco jmen, Thomas is now trapping for jays and Reubens. They see few newspapers, hear little of what goes on in Albany nd gare little what is done in, for or bout this town so long as it supplie fummer boarders with pocketbooks.

Publio sentiment demanded a change In our Police Court system, But it is ‘& pity the constitutionality of the new law could not be tested before the change was made, The President's fishing trip was sud- den. Nobody had heard he was cutting that kind of bait. MUSIC FOR THE BABIES. ‘There will be music on the fresh atr exoursions to be given by the Sick Babies’ Fund—music from 8 o'clock tn the morning, when the boat leaves the first dock, until 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, when the one thousand breene- refreshed and melody-tonicked little ones hall be landed in the city again and sent to thelr homes. There will be re freshments, too, and rons and doo- tors and every attention will be given to the tots that thelr condition and the nature of the occasions demand, but we mention the music prominently because we want to say something about It. Bome people there are who may not sanction the music feature of these out- ings and who may think that it ts @ wilful waste of the little money that ts paid for it. Those people are entitled to their opinions, and if they get to heaven, as we hope everybody will, they deserv to be given seats in the back row whe: the soft notes of the golden harps or the sweet voices of the seraphim choir will never reach the: Anybody who sees the eager de! with which children throng and dance around a street organ, with Iit-up faces and brightened eyes, will understand the good there 1s in musto, even if it 1s poor music. ‘There is a strong med- foal view, too, that music ls curative and pathologically beneficlal in its ef- fects, Tie that as it may, It lichtens the hearts of the little ones, and even sets the infants’ pink toes to twiddling; {t cheers, quickens the blood, clears the head and is a general joy-diffuser, and the bables on the excursions are going to have it to supplement the ocean xephyra and ald their digestion—no mat- ter what others way. ‘There was nobody to haul down the American flag when Mayor Strong went to Philadelphia yesterday.

Gommanéer Booth, of the Salvation army, has detected aristocratic tenden- les in some of his followers, He ts op- posed to that sort of “higher up" move- ment among his soldiers. In a recent wermon he warned them that the field for their fighting is not among kid-glove people, but among the poor and the towly, among the great mass of the peo- ple who are on the wrong side of the line which divides wealth and poverty. ‘There is a point behind all this which fe good for some reform politicians, es- Pecially such as have got some of the @potls of victory. Do not let them be puffed up by triumph nor by office.

RIP VAN WINKLE IN THE CABINET. ‘A despatch from Cincinnati gives what purports to be a summary of the views of Attorney-General Harmon, on a few [prominent questions of interest at this time. Judge Harmon has amassed a fortune )@8 & corporation lawyer, and is regarded /@s @ leading authority on Trusts. He ‘Molds that the combination of capital fe not @ breach of the law. The law @uthorizing and regulating Trusts is well established. Many Trusts have ‘been declared legal, and as each Trust Presents distinctive and special features, @ach must be considered on its own merits. He approves the Supreme Court's de- eision declaring it unconstitutional to tax incomes arising from rents like the ‘Astors enjoy, and bonds such swell the millions of the Vanderbilts and Goulds. He is glad the Income Tax is @et aside, and taxation on the neces- saries of life retained. Does the world move? Is the change from Olney to Harmon progress? Are the politicians Rip Van Winkles?
