. There Can be too much of a good
. thing. It Is the opinion of Ul‘. Daniel
C.‘Potter. examiner of the Accounts of
charitable institutions, that there are
too many institutions for children lit
the city of New York—not less than
fifty-«every one of which. In point of
Inmateli, is from‘ twenty to fifty per
cent. below [to normal capacity. Not
is this till. Within a year one large
Institution- closed Its doors and went
out of bttslness.‘ Another gave up Its
country branch. Three others are now
seeking lose” their city property for
the purpose. of moving. so that their
work can be continued on tiiore mod-
ern lines in smaller structures III the
country. Dr. Potter opposes the pro-
posal that another large reformntory
be erected within the city limits, as he
thinks all such Institutions ought to be
located where the children can be
taught agriculture and horticulture.

In the all-preventing topic of discus-
sion here. His masterful assertion that

tween tho mother country and her
colonies the question of the hour. has
been scnsationally fulfilled. Columns
of comment fill the. afternoon news-
papers anti every one Is asking: "Does
It ntcau dissolution?"
The Telegraph. generally semi-In-

"The Issue could not be voted on for
tit least eighteen months; but In the
meantime the government will give
tltc country and parliament cvet-y op-
portunity to discuss it."
A definite decision will probably he
arrived at shortly. anti will depend ai-
lllOHf. entirely on the result of the pro-
pugtiuda now undertaken by the press
and the members of tho [louse of (Yout-

Chamberlain is likely to have the
country at his back ll general election

probable.

lIs enthusiastically positive, that with
political agitation the constituencies
can be brought to see the wisdom of
his policy. Those who have discussed
the preferential scheme with Its an-
thor say he never exhibited such Iii-
tet'est Iii any topic. "For the first time
In my life." said it friend of the colon-
Itil secretary. "I cait say Mr. Chamber-
.Ialn is really excited."
i In this crusade the colonial secretary
! is absolutely Iii harmony with Premier

Preiiilershlp. The only practically de-
velopment likely to occur in the near
it‘uture Is a series of political speeches

1paigu on the lines of protection ver-

‘stroy party lines almost as much as
