Just two days more nnd the winter pea

lume Rent, as all tho world knows,
i-.uis spring, anil Ihe season.of Lent
alieis In ilio great spring fast, Just a?? the
?Oustor season symbolizes the great spring
festival.
Th olii Anglo-Saxons called March tlio
?ength month, posslbliy, heciuso during
Its course the vernai equinox occurred
?nel the days grew perceptibly longer, or
jocauso being devoted to matoiin] nlcas
ircs. the March period of abstinence and
tasting mudo tho hours .seem long und
their burden wearisome.
Twentieth century people of the "Smart
Bet" do not emulate tho Saxons. To
Ihe m March seems all too short for what
they wish to crowd Into it. Already
Plnehurst, Allco-n, St. Augustine, Palm
Beach and other Southern -resorts are
flooded with gay visitors, seeking Im?
munity from piercing winds nnd leaden
lkl?as and seeking Renten diversions at
the samo time. The out-of-door life, the
folcine, the polo playing, the fishing will
? varied by parlor pool games and par?
lor tennis or ping-pong. Dinner rallies
Dn all feast clays, and for that matter, on
till days of tlio week, seem now quite per
?enissalile in Lent.
Tourists who fall to find amusement
(n tho South Atlantic or Gulf States go
lo Mexico. Southern California, or. cross
ihe Atlantic Io enjoy the Mid-tent enr
plval at Nice and spend Passion Week In
(ionie, so many and ,so various are the
l?vicos Invented to banish dullness and
hake of all the three hundred nnd elxty
five days festivals for the -100 and those
belonging to them; so Industriously is
the pursuit of pleasure carried on.
Richmond people will, many of tliem.
eat pancakes at home on Shrove Tues
'day, which as yet continues tobe Sii rov o
Tuesday hero, though It will be Mardi
Gras In New Orleans, where Hex and
tho "Mystlck Krewe of Com us" will In?
augurate their reign, have their pegennt
and their ball, ns distinctively un-Ameri?
can In tnieir way us anything in the
United States can be, and spend their
ante-Lenten hours in a mad whirl of
gayety.
Ash-Wednesday will seo a different
condition of affairs. To Richmond It will
bring only a serious sort of sedateness,
characteristic of an annual recurrence
and its obligations. Mew Orleans will
array itself in penitential garb and hast.
en to make ntonement for the sins of
yesterday. Sojourner.s In Southern, climes
and on the Pacific slope wl|l consider
how to get through the day' with the
least amount of self-Imposition in the
way of conventional observance, and tho
.greatest amount of self-indulgence In the
way of doing what they like best.
And Dame. Fashion will put on her
thinking cap and settle herself to the

Pattfto Make Farewell Tour of
America?The Merchants.
NEW YORK, Fob. 21.?In a very largo
circle, commercial, financial and political,
there has boon much talk as tho result,
no doubt, of tho two banquets, that of
tho Press Club, at -which Mr. Bryan was
the guest, ana that of tlio Colonial
Club, at which Judge Parkor was tho
main attraction. . Both events woro pre?
sumed to be without political sJgnifi-?
canco. Mr. Bryan declaros himself, out
of the presidential race and Judgo Park?
er says nothing. Soma Bomocrata do
claro that th? distinguished jurist is tho |
logical candidate for IDOl Just ns Mr.
Bryan -was in lOOOJ However, this may
bo, It is as plain as plain can bo, that
with D-emocrats and Independents, Judge
Parker is rapidly growing Into favor,
and I am not .a little surprised to hear
Republicans express a decided preference
for htm.
I am told c-n^ tho best authority that It
had beon tho intention of Republican
State managers to havo passed a Stato
Constabulary bill at tho present session
of tao Legislatura. Governor Odell's
meagre plurality in November and tho
loss In Assembly districts camo as an
unwelcome and unpleasant surprlso. It
struck terror into the hearts of thoso
?who rule tho State and tearful of tho
result of such legislation Iho bill will
not be Introduced. Instead of it, how?
ever, Genornl Francis Vlnton Greeno, lato
chairman of the MowxYork County Re?
publican Commltteo, was made Pollco
Commissioner. Mayor Low appointed
him at the suggestion of President Rooso
volt. General Greene, late president of
the Barber Asphalt Paring Company, ls
a close friend and business associato of
Avery D. Andrews, who was a Police
Commissioner with Mr. Roosevelt When
General Greone vacated his ofllce as
president of tho Barber Company, An?
drews succeeded him, having been hit
counsel prior thereto. I merely mention
these facts to show the connection of
Messrs. Roosovelt, Low, Andrews and
Greene.
On the face Qt tho waters tho breath
that blows Is that of pcn.ee and harmony,
but any one who knows tho situation Is
aware that In the Republican party of
this State there Is a Platt faction, an
Odoll faction and a Roosevelt faction
Mayor Low, Commissioner Greeno and
ex-Oommlssioner Andrews are of the
Roosevelt faction first, last and all the
time. Low is a Republican who voted
against James "G. Binine; Greeno ls a
Republican "who camo to the front on
?. Spanish-American War record having {
been previously beaten by McCoskry Butt -
In the olection for a Brigadier-General?
ship In the National Guard. As colonel
of tho Seventy-first Regiment, he had
pained unpopularity as a martinet. Avery
D. Andrews was one of those Fusion ac?
cidents. He had been on army officer,
was General Schofleld's son-in-law, was
a regularly enrolled Democrat and was
appointed by Mayor Strong, who thought
a military man would be an advantage
to the police force. Mayor Low, who
is now an out and out Republican, cast?
ing longing eyes for diplomatic honors,
knows that ho will bo, after January 1,
1901, '"resting" as tho actors say. In
his desire to succeed Joseph Choate at
the Court of St. James, our smug-faced
Mayor is ready to turn the pollco force
over to a military dictator. By doing
this ho will "Republicanlzo ' tho pollco
and make It as effective under Genernl
Greene as though the Constabulary Bill
had been enacted. At the present mo?
ment the Intention ls to' rush a bill
through the Legislature a,nd so amend
the charter that the Commissioner of
Police cannot bo removed except for
cause and to extend tho term of oHlco
to six years.
Local politics hang on the next elec?
tion when a Mayor is to be elected In
November. Kings may claim Ihe right
to name the Mayor even though Shepard,
of Kings, had Die nomination for Mayor
against Low. Tammany will claim tho
right to name the candidate. If these
two powerful rivals unite the next Mayor
will be a, Democrat by an . enormous
plurality. Congressman Georgo B. Mc?
Clellan has the bee In his bonnet. Ho has
some Influence In Tammany and a great
many enemies, among them Congress
man "Tim" Sullivan, or the "Senator" aa
he Is more popularly styled. McClellan
would bo about as poor a candidato as
could bo put up. Ho is a man with very I
little strength of character and all tho 1
weak traits of a petty politician.
? * * j
It is gratifying to note that tho visit
of the great "bloodless" surgeon, Dr. Lo?
renz, has not been made In vaJn. All the
llttlo children upon whom ho operated
for congenital dislocation of tho hip and
for "club foot," aro running about hos
pltnl wards giving o\rery Indication of
speedy and successful ouro. But tho
grand, good work does not stop here. His
clinics were not attended by dummies.
Several eminent surgeons nave adopted
his method and they," too, havo mado
many, and are making daily, successful
operations. Dr. Lorenz'? name should
bo Inscribed In letters of gold In overy
great hospltnl in tlio United Slates. One
Dr. Lorena giving to suffering humanity
the blessings of his genius ? Is worth a
dozen sleel Kings, even though each be
as wealthy as a Rockefeller and as llber
ul as a Carnegie.

A pollco magistrate has declared T?lin
self against the maid and matron who,
unattended by father or husband, stays
out after midnight at a public placo of
dancing, lie Is the saino who advised
parents to spani? their young daughtors
if they" remained out after ten at night.
All this sounds very strange. I admire
tho magistrate for having tho courage
to expresa" himself from tho bench ns
lie has done. If thoro Is any place In
the world where ihe first wrong stops

In tho Police Magistrate's Court, Here

tcntlon to tho fact that its const Is long?
er and more, exposed than tho sea coast
of any other State In tho Union; It urges
rapid development of tho navy. Tho
rivalry among shipbuilding companies
for tho building of battleships places the
Government in the happy position of
being- able to secure the building of shps
on favorable ternis. The Now York
Shipbuilding Company, of which Mr.
Henry G. Moss Is the president, formerly
connected with the Harlan & Holllngs
worlh Company, has been awarded the
lnte?st contract for tho building of a bat?
tleship. The yards of this company are
located at Catnden, N. J., and aro ad?
mirably adapted for tho construction of
the largest ships.
The Venezuelan affair has had an effect
on the minds of merchants thnt may re?
sult In greatly changing- the trade con?
ditions between South American republics
and the United States. It was not so
long ago that the Stars and Stripes woro
held in contempt by our Spanish-Ameri?
can neighbors. The SpanishAmerlcan
War and the Venezuelan affair have
changed all this, nnd merchants now say
that our manufacturers will tako advan?
tage of the unpopularity of Germany ana
England and seek to capture South
American markets. Mr. l?allard points
out that our exports add up to tho In?
considerable sum ot $38,000,000 per an?
num and our Imports to ?110,000,000. O?
this trade amounting to $l.")7,O00,000, 02
per cent, ls carried under foreign flags.

A prominent banker said*. "It is re?
markable that our merchants and manu -
facturera havo set their hearts on cap?
turing the markets of Europe and have
nllowed our nearest neighbors to become
almost exclusively the customers of Ger?
many and England. This Is largely due
to our high prices for manufactured
goods and to our Inadequate shipping
facilities. Freights discriminate against
us. What we need ls a regular coast
service with, fast vessels and plenty
of them. When intercommunication be?

In Introducing Governor. Black, gavo ex?
pression ,to ono or two thoughts? which
Influenced the speakers of tho evening.
Ho was particularly happy In one state?
ment. Speaking of President Lincoln,
Mr. Louis Stern ?aid:
"In his day he was tho cherished lead?
er of our party. Ho was the representa?
tivo In whom our party confided with
trembling hands and anxious hearts tho
most momentous cause that ever a freo
people placed in tho hands of a living
man. Its wisdom In selection will bear
the sanction of all ages. But Lincoln
Is no longer the exclusive leader of the
party that jealously cherishes his rr mo?
ry. Ho has passed into that wider and
broader ownership, that of the whole
people; and as timo rolls on goner tlons
yet unborn will vonerato his name. Truly
Lincoln belongs to all the peoplo and
tho honor to our party Is that ?? gave
him to the nation, doing In this as wo
always havo*- done?giving the best wo

Mr. A. C. Gary, treasurer of ,vie United
States Shipbuilding Company, has Just
returned from an extended visit through
the Far West. He sj.?aks In glowing
terms of tho growing trade of tho Pa?
cific coast and of tho Influence ot the
Sandwich Islands and Philippines on the
shipping trado. The new cable Is ex?
pected to stlmulato business. Merchants'
In Han Francisco believe that the Eng?
lish will make every effort to capture
the carrying trade of tho Pacific and that
to bring this result about thoy are de?
veloping their shipping and their rail
facilities across Canada. Mr. Gary ls
of tho opinion that there ls more enter?
prise shown In this direction by tho Eng?
lish than by the Americans. Tho Im?
portance of the Japan and China trade
to this country Is Incalculable.

Indications abound of a great racing
season around and about this city. Thero
is an unusually big demand for stable
room at all of the Long Island tracks,
Stables havo been requested for moro
than 2,000 horses^ and there are not that
number available. Shcepshead, Grave
send and Brighton Beaeli will bo over?
taxed. The wealthy owners all have sta?
bles of tholr own, but tho poor turfmen
complain of the lack of accommodations.''
They say that while the racing asso?
ciations have displayed marked liberality
In tho hanging up of rich stakes and
purses, they havo forgotten all about In?
creased stable accommodations, which
are greatly needed. The poorer class of
horsemen went to race at Eastern tracks,
because tlie purses and stakes aro more
attractive than elsewhere, but most of
rhem aro financially unable to pay for
private stable room far removed from thi
tracks. This is a condition which ir
unfair and unsportsmanlike. Associa.
tlon managers should seo that It la a?,
once remedied. Somo of tho very best
horses have come from strings owned by
poor men, many ot whom aro brcedere.
