The New York IWorld hag lately Ih.,nll lllnves igatling the lsubject of tenemenlt houses in New York city. and linds the showing farll ~bore unpleasant t h:in it had expelteed. It has1 always been known that, certain portions of New York city are more densely poputlated Ktihanany part of London, l'ar's, or indeid any -other large city in the elvilizevt worldli lih' highest average Ibeingl 275.01h1 to the sq1uare aeile; but it was searlely expected that as l~hUge a portion of the popullation f the 'rity ilved in tenoment houses as, it is now folund, (10. According Ito the latest figulres at tain ale 0lessO than 85),00 Ipeople in N ew York 'l y, r'f alntetnllths of thlle entirel population, live in Sltenement houses. As thefre< are only 21,100 ofl tlhese houses, tlHs givesill an average of over ftt ty persons to the holuse. 'l'he, majorit y vI' these houses are small and narrow, land i.wholly without yards of any kind. 'Thecy are ttterly unfit for resdlences, eilther in summerlnr or' winter. The local authorities arl, doingi thseir best to remove s ome of th111 icon I'vulaencee of this syst'em of living, tnd have ineceeded in ehlaring awayl nmuch of lt ( 1111litl and many of the thad smells of the tenoments. .$2his much they can iefnomplish; but it is i11 `possible ever to bnmlk up the tt',teollnt sys t"en in New York. T'hat is a disease peculliar to Manhattan beyondil the reach or cure of' .:pilanthropists. '1Tli average area of land to each inhabitant is lsmallest in New York andl nClnlnatl of all Anmericun citilis, and larg.\est I- New Orleans, Chlcago and Philadelphla. The average house room to each person in :Mbw Orleans Is at least four times. as gre'at as In New York. In this respect, at least, we aIe )i htr ahead of the financlal metropolls if Medea.O. I The ilUtemper that sonm oft heWestern news Sapers are showing on a ccount of our mint ap propriation is in very bad taste.to say the least. The mint disease seems to havo4 r oepidemic -. throughout the West. St. Louis, Cincinnati, -Omaha, Chicago, Springfield, Indianapolis, all had it badly. The newspapers of these .;0asenoouraged the people into the belief i that they were going to get a round million 0for a mint, which was to give work to all their employed laborers. The St. Louis Republicon shows the worst ,me per on this subject of any of the Western The appropriation for our mint was 11 a put-up job, it declares, concocted by the aker, the chairman of the Appropriation i4 lmittee and the Louisiana delegation. . charges the other mint delegations, $ugt-Ien y the members from Indiana, with . Had Indianapolis, Cincinnati, St. LOl~ et al. "worked together," it continues, ze might have defeated the chances of New and then each of these places would had its .hanoe." This is a good Western mriaion argument. On one side it was y shown that It would cost less than one as much torestore the New Orleans mint to build a new one; that the Senate was ly in favor of locating the new mint %.r Orleans; that more members of House favored New Orleans than other individual ity; and, lastly, who can hardly be supposed friendly alg, rpe is a Weuua san, a Bad ýk jV loal, with no friendly feellngs to the Houth showed the advantages and necessity of having a mint here. Not a word is said in contradletion of Ithee facts; the whole argument of the Riuttlirtn Is that New Or(leans being the et'rontgest compll, tor in the field for the mint1 It was the duty of the Western represetnta fives ,to have united to heat her, and ther fight t itout among themnselve; there was money in it.

'ITh managers of the grand musical festival which begins in Cincinnati Tuesday have re I solved to insist on a great many new rules obeing observed by its audiences. These rules have been publicly announced in advance, and, the management assert, will be strictly en forced against all. The most important of these regulations is that which places women on an equal footing with men, as far as hats are concerned; that is, women are to remove their bonnets when coming into the music hall. The growth of the bonnet abuse is well known. It originated in France and spread thence to England and this country. Here, as is usual with European customs, it took firm root, being carried to greater ex cess even than in France, where ladies do not go bonneted to the opera. As long as bonnets were small this custom, though inconvenient to people in the back seats, was endurable, but now that it has grown fashionable to plant flow ers and pile vegetables on the top of them, a lady with a fashionkmable bonnet practloally prevents a large portlin of the audience from seeing and enjoying the play. The new eys torn proporsed hb the managers of the Cincin natl festival - that the ladles should unimn not themsolves at the theatre,--has Ibon re eolved everywhere with joy and applause. The (hhiago theatre managers announce their di-' terminatlrnh to enforeo this rule in their city next year. and theMSt. Louis papers insist that It shall boe onforlce' there also. Pherlnhap this Inprovemeri nt may fin(l Its way oven here. Let us at least hope so. In London this rule hs always beenll in sisted in at the olpern; ;if late t-he theatros also have beg.rn to enfllor. it. A Londonll nlna.nrager wns arr'est. l a few monll(lths since for refusing a lady adimittanel to lhi the atre hio canrg soero deilined i1 remotn'Ve her 1).(1i1rit. The qiuestion was carried before a fragis trate, who, aft.or hearing arg.'ment, in the ease, dcitrl tlhatrl, lnal.Fgers il.a rly Ilhave trhe right to mnake arny rulhr t ihy sco lit; that this was li ota severi,' or irrl proer, ori lllljllt ru11e, and that if a lady insisted on wearing her ronnrot, the rri.rrnger lunii a pn'rfoi', right to re fuse to anitt hor I li tIhs heatro.
