Peckham as Associ- ate Justice of the Supreme Court, fol- lowing upon the rejection of Mr. Horn- blower,is a complete and utter rent for President Cleveland. From. the point of view that this is a needed lesson for the President, the vote of the Senate yesterday is gratifying. From another point of view it is _to _be regretted. Mr. ,Peckham is a man who by reason of his high personal character and profession- al attainments would have honored even . the Supreme Court of the United States. Now let Mr.Cleveland change his tac- tics. The country has been sufficient- ' 1y scandalized by his insistence that the Supreme court shall be an arena of his :_‘prize fight with Senator Hill. There are men as well qualified as either Mr. .. Hornblower or Mr. Peckham whose ‘ nomination would be a challenge to battle, and one such should be named, and promptly. . The ’vlicii‘ncy on the Supreme bench already has existed too long. The busi- ness of the court is greatly in arrears and the services of a full bench are im- '_ peratively demanded. The interests of the country aresti-ll paramount to the President’s personal ends and animosi- ties. New York’s Unemployed. Out of the 60,000 or more unem- ployed of New York it is safe to say that a very large majority are willing and anxious to work if they can only get work to do, and they are not so very particular what sort of work it is so long as it will afford them means of subsistence. At a meeting of held in that city on Wednesday there were delegates from all sorts of labor unions, representing as many different branches of business now greatly de- pressed, and the unanimous voice of the assemblage was for employment in the parks or anywhere else. One dele- gate stated that he had earned only 62 cents in the last month and he knew others who had made nothing at all in three months. _ The authorities are slew of response to these appeals, but will be able to furnish work for about 1,000 men on the park improvements which have been already sanctioned, and are now engaged in considering the prosecution of operations on the Harlem River speedway, of which the cost of con- struction is estimated at $1,175,000 and ‘which will take about 400 days to com- plete. This improvement will furnish a livlihood for a large number of .~ workingmen for the next year. In the mean time, however, the work of relief must be continued on a most elaborate scale for several weeks, if not months, yet, and the charitable associations are taxed to their utmost ability to meet the calls pressing upon them. The city is likely to do its full duty in the premises, but the fast- er the roll of wage-earners is increased and that of the recipients of charity diminished, the'better. * 4 o b~—-——---—-——— Some Expensive Tavern—Keeping. The announcement is made that Gen. Ferdinand P. Earle, the manager of the New Netherland Hotel, located at the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty- ninth street, New York, is in financial distress. Gen. Earle owes Mr. Astor over $66,000 for rental of the immense establishment, which he is unable to pay, and in addition to this he has in- numerable creditors among the New York business men. The New Nether- land was opened last June with a great flourish of trumpets, and it is said to be one of the finest hotels in the world. But this fact did'not carry enough pres- tige to enable Gen. Earle to make even expenses, ands-,lie announces thathe ' will be forcedt‘o' retire unless Mr. Astor reduces his rent and thus enables him to conduct the hotel on a different basis. The New Netherland was built by Mr. Astor for Gen. Earle at an expense tastes to gratify, and? idle workingmen . of several million—Boilers. The latter :. gave his personal attention to the con- struction of the immense building, and almost four years of his time was de- voted to the work. To illustrate just what the house had to contend with it may be stated that during last summer the average number of guests per day was sixteen. There were 200 servants employed in the hotel and the consump- tion of coal each day was sixteen tons. Under these circumstances it is not at all strange that Landlord Earle should run behind with his rent to the extent of $66,000, and it is quite natural for him to ask for a reduction in order that he may make an effort to place the in~ stitution on a different basis. It is quite likely that the business depression through which the country has just passed had considerable to do with the misfortune that overtook the New Netherland, but it is by no means sure that palaces like this can be made to pay under the most favorable cir- cumstances. There are a great many millionaires in the country, but there will be no mad, frantic rush on their part to patronize Mr. AstOr’s high-price hotel. He has invested his money in the building, and it may be that the rent he charges is but a reasonable componention for the capital employed in its construction, but it would seem that the New Netherland is several steps in advance of what the American public demands in the way of gastron- omy and lodging.

Prof. Newell’s Norwalk dancing class received a visit from about twenty mem- bers of the Bridgeport dancing class, Friday afternoon. The visitors were entertained at the Athenzeum. Alto- gether there were about sixty lovers of terpsichorean exercise present and all had a merry time. Among the special- ties of the occasion was the Highland fling which was very prettily danced by Miss Bessie Nowell of Bridgeport, a Spanish dance splendidly executed by the Misses Jean and Alyse Gregory, of Norwalk,and the Sailor’s dance by Miss Ethel Lane and companion of Bridge- port was greatly appreciated. Thevis» itors left for home at 6 o’clock. coo—— Will Give Confidence. In reference to smallpox, Dr. C. A. Lindsley, secretary of the state board of health, says the disease has been quite extensive in this state during the last month. The policy in any outbreak of smallpox is to announce the fact pub- licly as quickly as possible. This will give confidence to the peorile and large- ly remove their fears. The opposite policy of concealment always fails—be- . cause it is next to impossible, and every fact that is known is greatly exaggera- ted and made as terrifying as possible. Health officers should take the people into their confidence and always tell the whole truth. Only by that course can they be trusted and allay public up- prehension. ————————-—<+ Connecticut Methodists.
