RFARIXG OX AXTI POLICY BILL. Special Nonces. Joseph Lelter. of Chicago, recently made a month's trip through Wyoming. Montana. Utah. Colorado and other parts of the JOSEPH West, where he has large business LEITER Interests. When seen yesterday at TALKS OF the Waldorf-Astoria he said re- PROSPERITY, gardlns the present outlook In that part of the country: The West to-day finds Itself In an exceptionally prosperous condition. Financially, it has not only money enoush tor its own business uses but It also has sufficient for the greater portion of the Investment in new lines Into which they are going there. Western banks — I mean especially those in the small towns— are at present lar?e buyers of commercial paper, and most of them are carrying good big balances in the bi»nks in the commer- cial centres. The crops in the West have been very pocd. and the prices received have been ex- tremely satisfactory. The cattle business has never been In more flourishirsr condition than It is this year. The production, which up to two years ago was slightly in excess, of the ready market, Is now a bit behind the demand, and. In consenuenc*. we now look for .1 steady improvement In this branch of trade. The mining Interests are benefiting greatly from the consolidation thet has pone on In that line, as well as in all other llnrs. The combination of th«» different rafln .i.!- will work a benefit for the West In establishing fair rate*, which will aid In building up the country rot already settled, and willrender more certain the maintenance of equitable rates by tho*p lines which have be*>n occasionally troubled by receiverships Receiverships are always attended hy an unsettling of rates, and therefore, of bast- ness. Taking it" all in all, the outlook in the West could not well be better. We are prosperous now. and from present Indications, our prosperity hi likely to thine for an Indefinite, period.

Feb. 10 (Special).— The Anti-Policy bill is to have a hearing on Wednesday before the Assem- bly Codes Committee. The billIs not so drastic as the measure of last year, and provides that the possession of policy slips or other paraphernalia shall be prima fade evidence of guilt, thus laying the burden of proof on the prisoner. It also pro- vides that landlords *h»U not be held guilty of having policy played on their premises without proving they had knowledge of the game. Captain F. Norton Goddard and Theron G. Strong will ap- pear in ruj>port <f the measure. There will ha a herring on the two pure beer bills on Wednesday before the Excise Committee, after which it Is said a bill is to be reported satisfactory to Assemblymen Stevens and Burnett, the intro- <lnc«Ts. The Stevens bill provides that beer Is to be made of pure bariey malt, or pure rice and hop?. or If made of other ingredients is to be stamped "Inferior." The Burnett Ml] does not Include rice. Mr. Stevens says that If rice is Included in the bill to be reported he has rverv reason 10 believe that the measure will pa«s the Senate, which killed his pure beer bill of las: year. The Excise Committee will also consiier at the same time the bill of As- remblyman Hatch, prohibiting side doors and screens In saloons. CHURCH BXTEKBIOS IX THE SUBURBS. BY OCEAN STEAMER.

Rug- pies, one of the founders of the Republican. party, died yesterday at the Hopping Sanatorium. Ha- vana, aired eighty-one years. General Ruggles was born on March 7. 181?, In Rlchland County. Ohio, and was of noted ancestry. his -uncle being Brigadier-General Timothy Ruggles. who was president of the first Congress which ever met In America. A great-uncle. John Ruggles, was three times elected United States Senator from Maine, ard another uncle. Benjamin Hurries. was fi-«t United States Senator from Ohio, serving eighteen y?ars from 1«1«. His father. Judge Spooner Ruggles. was State Senator In the Illinois legislature from Ogle and Wlnnebago counties in ISC He drafted th* platform on which the Repub- lican party was organized, being one of a com- mittee of three, the others being Abraham Lincoln and Ebeneavr Peck, appointed for that purpose at the session el the Illinois Legislature of February, IS."*?. Other members of the committee being other- wise encased, the work of drafting the platform devolved upon General Ruggles. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was ap- pointed by Governor Tates a lieutenant of t ie Ist Illinois I'avalry When mustered out in l*-.4 he was lieutenant-colonel of the 3d Illinois Cavalry, ami was 'or a time In command rf the regiment. After the war he was brevetted brl«adier-general. General Ruggles wis the author of the first drainage law in Illinois. He was a scholar and an able writer. In religion he was a pronounced Spir- itualist. He left four .*ons. Frederick R. Reed, of Boise City, Idaho, and 1 has been for many years— interested in the min- eral development of his State. Mr. IDAHO RTS- Reed is on a business trip to N>w- ING FROM York, ana wnen seen at the Grand HER ASHES. Hotel yesterday he sail of the present aspect of Idaho affairs: We have been through some pretty lean years In Idaho— the traditional seven. Indeed— it looks now as though we were about to enter into our fat ones. The depreciation in the price of silver worked fearful havoc in Idaho, an.l (Of a while paralyzed the State financially. It was then that we in our distress, grabbing at any straw, turned to Bryan. and accented hi? financial theories (heresies is really the proper term) as the words of a true prophet. We see our error now, and are prepared to come back again to the party of our fathers. Last election we cut Bryan's plurality down from 20.000 to 5.000. and at th» next election Idaho will apaln acknowledge her allegiance to the Republican party. "Mining Is the principal industry of Idaho, and no- where Is the outlook more promising than In what Is knc.wn as lbs Haley Gold Belt. This region, which la located on one of the branches of the Oregf n Short Line, is rapidly coming to the front. They are already down three hundred feet in some of the mines there, and at that depth are finding a very rich cvii.i copper ore. which averages about $73 a ton. From present indications one of the 2T»Rf mlnine bourns of the We«t will centre en this (old belt The developments on War Eagle Moun- tain, situated near Silver City.

There have also been rich .strikes i:> the Pauper Mine, on the 500-foot level. Some of the gold and silver ore taken from this level has yielded IS*) a ton. "The mining development* In other parts of Idaho are also very promising, and we are making tremendous strides In our Indus-rial and com- mercial development It is * different State from what it was four years l-'.i Then we were all h.ird un, nnd every man \o<i met wore a long face, Now cvi ry one has plenty of money, and the sam« men wear a busy and cheerful air Boise City is prospc-r.jup beyond our fonripst hones, »nd th* changed condition of our financial afTiirs has Just had an outward and visible manifestation In the erection of the Hotel Idahua.

Fifth-aye. and Fifty-third-st. The Rev. Charles C. Tiffany. Archdeacon of New- York, presided, and addresses were made by Eusene M. Camp, of the Brotherhood of ?t. Andrew; Seth Low, president of Columhta University, and the Rev. Dr. J. Lewis Parks, rector of Calvary Church. The service was read lay the Rev. John Huske. of St. Thomas's. Mr. Camp described the work of the laymen of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew in establishing; eleven Sunday schools and mission stations in The iironx. and thus forming the nucleus of a perish In each case. One of these missions has bet-n started in a ham. another in the r*-ar of a procery store, two in carriage houses and or' in a real es- tate office. Seth Low urged that it was mo« Important for the Church to take paseeaalea of the fields offered by the development of the suburbs as residence places for great throngs from the denser sections of the city. He also sail that the bui.ding up of t^. se J Brtflt ¦ acant ii.. ¦ which is now -olnff on will do more than anything flse to break uj> the horrors of the tenement hou?e district.

Politicians as a rule yesterday were still uncertain as to who would be appointed Commissioner-Chief under the new law. John D. Sexton seems to be la th« lead so far as can be learned In Tammany Circles John F. Carroll and Mayor Van Wyck apparently favor him. There is strong opposition to Sexton within the organization, however, and it hi said that in 'he end Crews* may decide that It Is Inadvisable to appoint the Commissioner and will r<-eomrr.<?nd a Tan comparatively unknown in order to prevent erlti:i?m. A prominent member of the Republican organization said last ni?V that 1* Sexton were named Governor Odell would not re- move hl.n unless he •"committed some overt act." It was th'iusht Tammany would therefore be reck- less In d«-fyin;r public opinion. MAURICE TBOitPSOyS COXDITWW ClSSlfenls*nie. Ind.. Feb.

Feb. 10 .Special).— New-York CJty legislation " Importance Is thus far well under wny. although at the beginning of the eefrion many measureß pertaining to the me- tropolis «rer» expected to be introduced early leiiougb M ;usure enactment. A lengthened t-es- flen, therefore. lasting at least until the latter p^rt of April or the first of May, now appears imperative to compute the task. In spite of th" f«.rt that the Legislature has been sitting more than a ' >uth. not a single hill lias been lntro- du r :fl following out the recommendations of th-> Char"* Revision Commission, and little infor- mation is to be ¦ lined as to what legislation v.il\ follow the labors of this body. The New- ynrk Senator* and Assemblymen who have been holding secret caucuses on Tuesday even- jnirf have thus far confined their attention merely to the Police and Bureau of Elections bill*. and ;-'; -' ls 'earned that the question of school legislation Is not to i.»- discussed at all. Evidence if the discord of sentiment on school questions between the Manhattan and Brook- Jyn Republicans is to be seen in the Introduc- tion of a chool bill by Senator Audett. of Kings County. This measure,- providing for borough rule In paUlo education. Is directly counter 10 the opinions of the Manhattan contingent. The >uflett bill Is bound, therefore, to give rise to a rplrited controversy in the Senate Cities Com- mittee, to which it has been referred. Some legislators are even so bold as to say thus early that the bill has l!ttle if any chance of passage. Another "•¦:'•!?' cf war" between the Man- hattan and Brooklyn contingents is the ques- tion of economy In the government of New- York The Manhattan men have been heard to announce that the legislation most needed tty the greater city is that of retrenchment, the cutting down of long payrolls, the checking of "salary grab" bills, the consolidation of depart- ments and the rtis'-harge <-' useless and expen- sive employes. The Brooklyn men for the most part voice r.o such sentiment. They appear to think that if there is any extravagance It is all bounded by th- North and East rivers. Many of them are fo independent ef the caucuses that they have introduced bills -.-tor 10 the spirit r< economy, thus increasing salaries of Kings bounty officials, authorizing claims of em- j>!oye? against the city, establishing new courts »rd providing tor extensive street improve- ments at Its* expense of the municipality. BILLS FOR BIG OUTLAY?. ; Striking examples of such legislaticn are the t-.i!!s of Assemblymen Weber m.d De Oraw. of Vinfs Couq'.y. ''Tie rrovi<3;ng for a B«r court In that county, with an annual sa'ary list sf fV).«X>O. and the ether authorizing claims to the amount of ccr, c t for sixteen tax assessors if the old city of Brooklyn. Mr. De Graw also 1* pushing a bill which will compel the city to vacate all buildings now rented for Judicial purposes and erect new structures at a cost con- servatively placed at 51.500.0ft8. Assemblyman Tvemsen has several trills for street Improve- ments and parks hi Brooklyn. The one for the Improvement of Be<".ford-ave. Is now beir-g rap- Jdiy advent ' The only important New-York bills which have T*?n advanced with any great degree of dis- patch are the Police bill, which passed the As- srmlily last Tuesday, and on which the Mayor rives a hearing to-morrow: the Bureau of Elec- tions bill, which the Senate Judiciary Commit- tee, will report on Tuesday; the Morgan bill, en- abling New-York to obtain a water supply, and the bill abolishing the Special Jury system. The last two bills will pass the Assembly and be sent to the Senate this week. Of these four meas- ures, the Bureau of Elections bill has occasioned the greatest amount of work In Its framing. It has been recast several times, and its newest and latest form was only agreed upon after a long trucu* of the New- York delegation. Even now It is not acceptable to many because It places what Is consid<re<3 ton great and arbitrary power in the hands of a Tammany Mayor. The Mil now provides for a bipartisan bureau of four members, »-ach at a salary of $5,000. to be ap- pointed by the Mayor, and to hold office for two years. The appointments are to be made from a lift presented by the chairman of the Repub- lican and Democratic parties, two being from «»arh party. A commissioner can be removed by the Governor on charges. The bill abolishing the Special Jury Commission is incurring the vigorous opposition of the Democratic minority tn3 of some Republicans, although recommend- *"l by Governor Odell, who said that its passage would net the city an annual having of $17,500. j' is expected that Senator Grady will attempt la kill the fan in the Senate. The bill will prob- RbJy pass, nevertheless. PTRANAHAN PROMISES ACTION. The concurrent resolution of Mr. Morgan, vhirh is closely associated with his Municipal Mater Supply bill. -and which provides that debts incurred by New-York City in obtaining a water fupply ehall not be Included in the debt limit. wtll also be passed by the Assembly and sent to the Senate this week. Because of the tardiness with which charter revision legislation is being prepared for intro- duction, it has been said that It la the purpose of the Republican p'.rty leaders to adjourn without th- enactment of any Important bills. -Members of the minority have frequently been heard to Kay that the Republicans were so sur- Eg wlnnirg at the n xt Mayoralty election that they were not going to lop off the branches of patronage in advance by any economy measures. Such statements are flatly denied by Senator rtranahan and Assemblyman Kelsey, chairmen of the Cities committees in the upper and loner houses, which will have the consideration of all charter revision bills. Senator Stranahan P£lfi en Friday in reference to such legislation: 1 myself have been too busy to study the rfcs.-ter revision questions as yet. but will attend to this work as soon as possible, which will be within the coming week. Now that the New- " • rk and Buffalo Police bills are out of the there will be no further delay." Assemblyman Kelsey said that the charter re- vision problems would be studied with all due care, and that improper haste in their consider- ation would be unwise. He Intimated also that the aeeUcn would not adjourn until suitable legislation was secured. Since all these bills rr.us; e;o to the Mayor. It Is reasonable to expect that the Legislature, to secure their enactment Will not adjourn until a comparatively late date! M.^ILS FOR SOUTH A\O CENTRAL AMERICA. WEST INDIES. ETC.

Mr. Stephens's pastor: by Mr. Felix G. de Fontaine, with whom Mr. Stephens passed the night immediately on his return from Fort Monroe: by the Hon. Kvan P Hcwell. of Atlanta, and by many others. It Is further corroborated by the following extract from Mr. Stephens's printed 1 account of the. Fort Monroe conference: He (Mr. Lincoln) went on to ray that he would be willing to be taxed to remunerate the Southern people for their fcJaves. He believed the people of the North were as reapor.sibls for slavery as the people cf the South- and If the war should then cease, with the voluntary abolition of slavery by the States. h# should be In favor, individually, of tie Government paying a fair iniemnny for the lot* to th* owner*.

A DEMAND FOR HOME HELPERS. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: I palled at an employment agency not long ngo and found that they could not take even half the names of those women. young and middle aged, who were hopelessly looking for positions as gov- ernesses and companions. Nearly all these women who are generally women of refinement and edu- cation—would be invaluable as home helpers, to care for children and do ordinary housework, If they could only be induced to take such position.". Now, they could be induced to take such positions if they were sure they would be treated as social equals If they are ladylike they deserve to be to treated. Could not leading society women, promi- nent club members md active church workers com- bine, rent come suitable empty building and estab- lish a school for home helpers, where women of all ages cou'.d be taught free everything necessary to the management of houses and children? The older women, who have had some experience, would need only a short course to learn system and the newer way of doing things. The younger set could take a more thorough course, in housework, sewing and care of children. Let the women who found such a school promise to engage or find positions for home helpers us they are graduated, and let them promise to give them a written contract and good wages for regular hours. It rests entirely with the women of social standing to raise the tone of domestic service by restoring: it to what it was always intended to be. one of the noblest branches of Industry that exists. This may be done by changing the word "servant' 1 to "home helper." by treating the home helper as a social equal and by making housework a profession. Having tried home helpers instead of nurses with my own young chil- dren for over ten years, I feel anxious to recom- mend them 10 overworked and distracted mothers and to overburden« homernakers. As far as 1 understand It. the present "way of teaching domestic science in the schools would not reach the class of women I am anxious to benefit, because such women would not attend schools where children and regular servants were taught. They would require, and require rightly, a school where* the- proper feeding, clothing and care of children would be taught, as well as the way to manage a house and servants, and the way to nurse TESTKItDAT'S P.CCORD AND TO-PATS FORECAST.

AN ARGUMENT TO THE EFFECT THAT ITS HEAD SHOULD BE A PRAC- TICAL ALIENIST. To the Edltir of The Tribune. Pir: I take the liberty of inclosing copy of cer- tain objections I have prepared in opposition to the bill introduced in the Senate by Senator lirackett and In the Assembly by Assemblyman Fish, amandin? the Infinity law generally, Mas to eliminate the present qualifications for the office of president of the State Commission in Lunacy. First—The State Commission In Lunacy since January l. ISOS, his been a constitutional body, and has exclusive jurisdiction over the insane. Second— The number of Insane, public and private. at this time amounts to more than twenty-three thousand. Third—The Commission, among other things. in required to visit and Inspect all institutions, public and private, to see that they are properly coi- darted, both from a medical and sanitary point of view, as well as on a proper business basis. Fourth— Among other extensive powers the Com- mission Is required to examine all patients and to discharge trio.-' Improperly detained. This, obvious- ly, must be done by the medical member of the. Commission, who in order to perform this duty must have extensive practical as well as theoretical l;nowl*-dc* of mental diseases. Fifth— From 18S7 to IMS there was a State Com- missioner in Lunacy, who wis required. among other thine?, to be a* physician of experience In the care and treatment of the Insane. in IMb the State Commission was created, consisting: of three members. Including a physician who had been ad- mitted to practice ten years, and who had had Bv«j yars" experience in the -"ire and treatment of the insane and in the manage i of institutions for the insane. Sixth- The legislation of Ms! was confirmed : n IV'O. ard more particularly in ISLW. by Chapter IS • f the Law* of ISM. which was amended by Chapter as of the r. tw« of !?•». Seventh— The srhole care and treatment of th* Insane I; substantially a medical question, and re- quires that at least one m<nihor of the Commls- should be a physician well trained In the study of mental diseases and in th» management of Institutions. Kiphth—There i«. in round numbers. one Insane person to every three hundred of th« population, and it may be stated broa ll* that tl ere i* scarce- ly a family In the Stn?e that Is not directly or in- dlreftly Inter* in the proper care and treat- ment of the Insane, and necessarily In the man- agemf-nt of institutions for the tn«;ine. Ninth— AmonK other power-" th*> Commission hx* the sole power to license private institutions for th«* care of the Insane and summarily to revoke licenses for good reason. Tenth—By Chapter 2*>o of the Laws of :>in the Medical Cn'mrr.i.-Moner only 1* required to visit and inspe-t private inMlMitioin for ....... »he ether tv.o Commissioners t-cirx relieved from this duty. Therefore It Is <->f the hlphost consequence thst th^ Moll'-sil ml»loner sh^ul 1 be able to pass Intelligently uron •!..- ease of a pattern who. It Is charged, is illegally detained. The Kent til practitioner of medicine could not perform this duty. Eleventh— The New- York State hospitals contain a vast proportion .if all 'be Insane In the State. namely, more than • wenty-two thousand, only about 'u thousand being in the private nsylums, and It Is only proper tint these Institutions should have the benefit of at least one trained Commis- sioner. Twelfth—The State's financial interest can be fully protected through the other Cotnralssionera, namely. the lawyer and the layman, who are not required to have spe.ial qualifications, except that nny attorney Is i Hill for appointment who has 1..-. n In the "actual practice of his profession for at least ten years. Thirteenth— lt l* not too much to say that the passage of this bill In it- present form woull cause wMfspre.i'l apprehension on th. part of tn * public, which Is keenly alive to the dangers of per- sons belie Improper!) detained la asylums for the insane. The Stat.-'s Interest, too, would undoubted- ly suffer by being deprived of the services Of i physician who possessed the Qualifications required for a period of nearly thirty years A WORKER FOR THE INSANE. New- York. Jan. 3. <"!. A SHORT QUESTION AND ANSWER. THOU HUE AND rtEMEDT. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Brevity sometimes must be blunt. WHy <1° you ehoote to publish Mr. Foster's articles on Mexico in The Sunday Tribune? If you challenge my right to ask you that question I can answer only that The Tribune is of Importance to me. and Ihave read and taken It. with one short Intermission, from fourteen years of age to sixty- two. My principles exclude the Sunday newspaper. V.iii: respectfully. •*• X - Leytun X. V . Feb. 2. 1301. [Briefly, In reply, because we want to give Mr. Foster our v Ideal audience. Many thousands more people buy and read that Issue than any other. We respect the conscientious scruple which forbids our correspondent, but ought not to punish Mr. Foster to oblige him— especially as it is perfectly easy for him to get the paper on Monday and read it then.] HE WOULD NOT BLIGHT PEEKRKILL. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Iranno< see the necessity for building a prison on the beautiful Bite el the State Camp at PeekskilL Ifit is thought the only place I would «uggest it be given a name of Its own. "Ro:^ Hook" for instance, and not let it be 4 blight on the. name of PeekskilL as the present building has been on Sing Sing. HARRISON JAY. New- York. F»-r>. 9. 1901. T XKW-VORK DAILY TRIF.rNE.

etrated against this class of mandatory legislationhas had effect at Albany, and that the danger ofconstant and unreasonable legislative Interferencewith ih«. discretionary powers of the city government is less than in former year»

The committee ha* taker, an affirmative as wellas a negative stand in legislation. Ithas had pre-pared and Introduced a bill to »-imtilify the present•¦lection law. bo as to place each candidate andeach voter upon an absolute equality. Ithas under<*on«lderation the. preparation of bills to prohibitthe payment of political assessments by candi-dates for Judicial office: to provide for the directnomination of Deny candidates by vote* uponthe general plan which Is In successful operationin sliniit?ota; to prevent the payment of politicalcontributions by original charter commission andthe Revision CommiJFion. to permit the electionof memb«Tß of the local legislative bodies by aV-in of proportional representation

Several of the bills spoken of above, which donot deal with municipal affairs as such, arethought tr. be of great Importance In the attempt"to secure permanent good government for thecity of New-York." This is particularly the ca<=<»with the amendments to the election law andthose aimed at abuses which give substantial en-couragement and aiu to corrupt boas government

Of the results accomplished this year It hi per-haps, too early to speak. The committee ha* beenassured, however, that its protest against thegreat number of bills which seek to reinstate po-lice e<|Mrs who have been dismissed from theforce In past years will probably result In the de-feat of Bui-h measures, ax it did last year In all buttwo 01 three exceptional cases.

Colorado and other parts of theJOSEPH West, where he has large businessLEITER Interests. When seen yesterday atTALKS OF the Waldorf-Astoria he said re-PROSPERITY, gardlns the present outlook In that

part of the country:The West to-day finds Itself In an exceptionally

prosperous condition. Financially, it has not onlymoney enoush tor its own business uses but Italso has sufficient for the greater portion of theInvestment in new lines Into which they are goingthere. Western banks

—Imean especially those

in the small towns— are at present lar?e buyers ofcommercial paper, and most of them are carryinggood big balances in the bi»nks in the commer-cial centres. The crops in the West have beenvery pocd. and the prices received have been ex-tremely satisfactory.

The cattle business has never been In moreflourishirsr condition than It is this year. Theproduction, which up to two years ago wasslightly in excess, of the ready market, Is now abit behind the demand, and. In consenuenc*. wenow look for .1 steady improvement In this branchof trade.

The mining Interests are benefiting greatly fromthe consolidation thet has pone on In that line, aswell as in all other llnrs. The combination of th«»different rafln .i.!- will work a benefit for the WestIn establishing fair rate*, which will aid In buildingup the country rot already settled, and willrendermore certain the maintenance of equitable rates bytho*p lines which have be*>n occasionally troubledby receiverships Receiverships are always attendedhy an unsettling of rates, and therefore, of bast-ness. Taking it"all in all,the outlook in the Westcould not well be better. We are prosperous now.and from present Indications, our prosperity hilikely to thine for an Indefinite, period.

His father.Judge Spooner Ruggles. was State Senator In the

lican party was organized, being one of a com-mittee of three, the others being Abraham Lincolnand Ebeneavr Peck, appointed for that purpose at

the session el the Illinois Legislature of February,

IS."*?. Other members of the committee being other-wise encased, the work of drafting the platformdevolved upon General Ruggles.

At the outbreak of the Civil War he was ap-

Frederick R. Reed, of Boise City, Idaho, and1

has been for many years— interested in the min-eral development of his State. Mr.

IDAHO RTS- Reed is on a business trip to N>w-ING FROM York, ana wnen seen at the GrandHER ASHES. Hotel yesterday he sail of the

present aspect of Idaho affairs:We have been through some pretty lean years

In Idaho— the traditional seven. Indeed— it looksnow as though we were about to enter into our fatones. The depreciation in the price of silver workedfearful havoc in Idaho, an.l (Of a while paralyzedthe State financially. It was then that we in ourdistress, grabbing at any straw, turned to Bryan.and accented hi? financial theories (heresies isreally the proper term) as the words of a trueprophet. We see our error now, and are preparedto come back again to the party of our fathers.Last election we cut Bryan's plurality down from20.000 to 5.000. and at th» next election Idaho willapaln acknowledge her allegiance to the Republicanparty.

"MiningIs the principal industry of Idaho, and no-where Is the outlook more promising than In whatIs knc.wn as lbs Haley Gold Belt. This region,which la located on one of the branches of theOregf n Short Line, is rapidly coming to the front.They are already down three hundred feet in someof the mines there, and at that depth are findinga very rich cvii.i copper ore. which averages about$73 a ton.

Some of the gold andsilver ore taken from this level has yielded IS*) aton.

"The mining development* In other parts ofIdaho are also very promising, and we are makingtremendous strides In our Indus-rial and com-mercial development It is *different State fromwhat it was four years l-'.i Then we were allh.ird un, nnd every man \o<i met wore a long face,Now cviry one has plenty of money, and the sam«men wear a busy and cheerful air Boise City isprospc-r.jup beyond our fonripst hones, »nd th*changed condition of our financial afTiirs has Justhad an outward and visible manifestation In theerection of the Hotel Idahua.

The Rev. Charles C.Tiffany. Archdeacon of New- York, presided, andaddresses were made by Eusene M. Camp, of theBrotherhood of ?t. Andrew; Seth Low, president ofColumhta University, and the Rev. Dr. J. LewisParks, rector of Calvary Church. The service wasread lay the Rev. John Huske. of St. Thomas's.

Mr. Camp described the work of the laymen ofthe Brotherhood of St. Andrew in establishing;

eleven Sunday schools and mission stations in Theiironx. and thus forming the nucleus of a perishIn each case. One of these missions has bet-nstarted in a ham. another in the r*-arof a procerystore, two in carriage houses and or' in a real es-tate office.

Seth Low urged that it was mo« Important forthe Church to take paseeaalea of the fields offeredby the development of the suburbs as residenceplaces for great throngs from the denser sectionsof the city. He also sail that the bui.ding up oft^.se

as to who would be appointed Commissioner-Chiefunder the new law. John D. Sexton seems to be lath« lead so far as can be learned In TammanyCircles John F. Carroll and Mayor Van Wyckapparently favor him. There is strong opposition

to Sexton within the organization, however, and it

hi said that in 'he end Crews* may decide that ItIs Inadvisable to appoint the Commissioner and willr<-eomrr.<?nd a Tan comparatively unknown in orderto prevent erlti:i?m. A prominent member of theRepublican organization said last ni?V that 1*Sexton were named Governor Odell would not re-move hl.n unless he •"committed some overt act."It was th'iusht Tammany would therefore be reck-less In d«-fyin;r public opinion.

THE WEATHER REPORT.

fESATOR STRANAIIAN PROMISES TO STIR

XT ACTION ON CHARTER MEASURKS-LOCAL MEMHEKS DISAGREE ON

VARIOUS QUESTIONS.

Albany. Feb. 10 .Special).— New-YorkCJty legislation " Importance Is thus far wellunder wny. although at the beginning of the

eefrion many measureß pertaining to the me-tropolis «rer» expected to be introduced early

leiiougbM ;usure enactment. A lengthened t-es-

flen, therefore. lasting at least until the latter

p^rt of April or the first of May, now appearsimperative to compute the task. In spite of th"

f«.rt that the Legislature has been sitting morethan a ' >uth. not a single hill lias been lntro-du r:flfollowing out the recommendations of th->Char"* Revision Commission, and little infor-

mation is to be ¦ lined as to what legislation

v.il\ follow the labors of this body. The New-ynrk Senator* and Assemblymen who havebeen holding secret caucuses on Tuesday even-jnirf have thus far confined their attentionmerely to the Police and Bureau of Electionsbill*. and ;-';-' ls 'earned that the question of

school legislation Is not to i.»- discussed at all.Evidence if the discord of sentiment on school

questions between the Manhattan and Brook-Jyn Republicans is to be seen in the Introduc-tion of a chool bill by Senator Audett. of Kings

County. This measure,- providing for borough

rule In paUlo education. Is directly counter 10

the opinions of the Manhattan contingent. The

>uflett bill Is bound, therefore, to give rise to arplrited controversy in the Senate Cities Com-mittee, to which it has been referred. Somelegislators are even so bold as to say thus early

that the bill has l!ttle ifany chance of passage.

Another "•¦:'•!?' cf war" between the Man-

hattan and Brooklyn contingents is the ques-

tion of economy In the government of New-

York The Manhattan men have been heardto announce that the legislation most neededtty the greater city is that of retrenchment, thecutting down of long payrolls, the checking of"salary grab" bills, the consolidation of depart-

ments and the rtis'-harge <-' useless and expen-

sive employes. The Brooklyn men for the most

part voice r.o such sentiment. They appear to

think that if there is any extravagance Itis allbounded by th- North and East rivers. Many

of them are fo independent ef the caucuses thatthey have introduced bills -.-tor 10 the spirit

r< economy, thus increasing salaries of Kings

bounty officials, authorizing claims of em-

j>!oye? against the city, establishing new courts

»rd providing tor extensive street improve-

ments at Its* expense of the municipality.

BILLS FOR BIG OUTLAY?.; Striking examples of such legislaticn are the

t-.i!!s of Assemblymen Weber m.d De Oraw. of

Vinfs Couq'.y. ''Tie rrovi<3;ng for a B«r court

In that county, with an annual sa'ary list sffV).«X>O. and the ether authorizing claims to the

amount of ccr,c t for sixteen tax assessorsif the old city of Brooklyn. Mr. De Graw also

1* pushing a bill which will compel the city to

vacate all buildings now rented for Judicialpurposes and erect new structures at a cost con-servatively placed at 51.500.0ft8. Assemblyman

Tvemsen has several trills for street Improve-

ments and parks hi Brooklyn. The one for theImprovement of Be<".ford-ave. Is now beir-g rap-

Jdiy advent'

The only important New-York bills which have

T*?n advanced with any great degree of dis-patch are the Police bill, which passed the As-srmlily last Tuesday, and on which the Mayor

rives a hearing to-morrow: the Bureau of Elec-tions bill, which the Senate Judiciary Commit-tee, willreport on Tuesday; the Morgan bill, en-abling New-York to obtain a water supply, and

the bill abolishing the Special Jury system. The

last two bills willpass the Assembly and be sentto the Senate this week. Of these four meas-ures, the Bureau of Elections billhas occasionedthe greatest amount of work InIts framing. Ithas been recast several times, and its newest andlatest form was only agreed upon after a long

trucu* of the New-York delegation. Even nowIt is not acceptable to many because It places

what Is consid<re<3 ton great and arbitrary

power in the hands of a Tammany Mayor. The

Mil now provides fora bipartisan bureau of fourmembers, »-ach at a salary of $5,000. to be ap-pointed by the Mayor, and to hold office for twoyears. The appointments are to be made froma lift presented by the chairman of the Repub-lican and Democratic parties, two being from«»arh party. A commissioner can be removedby the Governor on charges. The bill abolishingthe Special Jury Commission is incurring thevigorous opposition of the Democratic minoritytn3 of some Republicans, although recommend-*"l by Governor Odell, who said that its passagewould net the city an annual having of $17,500.j' is expected that Senator Grady will attemptla kill the fan in the Senate. The bill willprob-RbJy pass, nevertheless.

PTRANAHAN PROMISES ACTION.

The concurrent resolution of Mr. Morgan,

vhirh is closely associated with his MunicipalMater Supply bill.-and which provides that debtsincurred by New-York City inobtaining a waterfupply ehall not be Included in the debt limit.wtll also be passed by the Assembly and sent tothe Senate this week.

Because of the tardiness with which charterrevision legislation is being prepared for intro-duction, it has been said that Itla the purposeof the Republican p'.rty leaders to adjournwithout th- enactment of any Important bills.-Members of the minority have frequently beenheard to Kay that the Republicans were so sur-Eg wlnnirg at the n xt Mayoralty election thatthey were not going to lop off the branches ofpatronage inadvance by any economy measures.Such statements are flatly denied by Senatorrtranahan and Assemblyman Kelsey, chairmenof the Cities committees in the upper andloner houses, which willhave the considerationof all charter revision bills. Senator StranahanP£lfi en Friday in reference to such legislation:

1 myself have been too busy to study therfcs.-ter revision questions as yet. but willattendto this work as soon as possible, which will bewithin the coming week. Now that the New-" • rk and Buffalo Police bills are out of the

there will be no further delay."Assemblyman Kelsey said that the charter re-

vision problems would be studied with all duecare, and that improper haste in their consider-ation would be unwise. He Intimated also thatthe aeeUcn would not adjourn until suitablelegislation was secured. Since all these billsrr.us; e;o to the Mayor. ItIs reasonable to expectthat the Legislature, to secure their enactmentWill not adjourn untila comparatively late date!

Mr. Stephens'spastor: by Mr. Felix G. de Fontaine, with whomMr. Stephens passed the night immediately on hisreturn from Fort Monroe: by the Hon. Kvan PHcwell. of Atlanta, and by many others. It Isfurther corroborated by the following extract fromMr.Stephens's printed1 account of the. Fort Monroeconference:

He (Mr. Lincoln) went on to ray that he would bewilling to be taxed to remunerate the Southern people fortheir fcJaves. He believed the people of the North wereas reapor.sibls for slavery as the people cf the South-and If the war should then cease, with the voluntaryabolition of slavery by the States. h# should be In favor,individually, of tie Government paying a fair iniemnnyfor the lot* to th* owner*.

A DEMAND FOR HOME HELPERS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.Sir: Ipalled at an employment agency not long

ngo and found that they could not take even halfthe names of those women. young and middle aged,

who were hopelessly looking for positions as gov-

ernesses and companions. Nearly all these womenwho are generally women of refinement and edu-

cation—would be invaluable as home helpers, to

care for children and do ordinary housework, Ifthey could only be induced to take such position.".Now, they could be induced to take such positions

if they were sure they would be treated as socialequals If they are ladylike they deserve to be to

treated. Could not leading society women, promi-nent club members md active church workers com-bine, rent come suitable empty building and estab-lish a school for home helpers, where women ofall ages cou'.d be taught free everything necessaryto the management of houses and children? Theolder women, who have had some experience, wouldneed only a short course to learn system and thenewer way of doing things. The younger set couldtake a more thorough course, in housework, sewing

and care of children. Let the women who foundsuch a school promise to engage or find positionsfor home helpers us they are graduated, and letthem promise to give them a written contract andgood wages for regular hours. It rests entirelywith the women of social standing to raise the tone

of domestic service by restoring: it to what it wasalways intended to be. one of the noblest branchesof Industry that exists. This may be done bychanging the word "servant' 1 to "home helper." bytreating the home helper as a social equal and bymaking housework a profession. Having tried homehelpers instead of nurses with my own young chil-dren for over ten years, Ifeel anxious to recom-mend them 10 overworked and distracted mothersand to overburden« homernakers.

As far as 1 understand It. the present "way ofteaching domestic science in the schools would notreach the class of women Iam anxious to benefit,because such women would not attend schoolswhere children and regular servants were taught.They would require, and require rightly, a schoolwhere* the- proper feeding, clothing and care ofchildren would be taught, as well as the way tomanage a house and servants, and the way to nurse

AN ARGUMENT TO THE EFFECT THATITS HEAD SHOULD BE A PRAC-

TICAL ALIENIST.

To the Edltir of The Tribune.Pir: Itake the liberty of inclosing copy of cer-

tain objections Ihave prepared in opposition tothe bill introduced in the Senate by Senatorlirackett and In the Assembly by AssemblymanFish, amandin? the Infinity law generally, Masto eliminate the present qualifications for the officeof president of the State Commission in Lunacy.

First—The State Commission In Lunacy sinceJanuary l. ISOS, his been a constitutional body, andhas exclusive jurisdiction over the insane.

Second— The number of Insane, publicand private.at this time amounts to more than twenty-threethousand.

Third—The Commission, among other things. inrequired to visit and Inspect all institutions, publicand private, to see that they are properly coi-darted, both from a medical and sanitary point ofview, as well as on a proper business basis.

Fourth— Among other extensive powers the Com-mission Is required to examine all patients and todischarge trio.-' Improperly detained. This, obvious-ly, must be done by the medical member of the.Commission, who in order to perform this dutymust have extensive practical as well as theoreticall;nowl*-dc* of mental diseases.

Fifth—From 18S7 to IMS there was a State Com-missioner in Lunacy, who wis required. amongother thine?, to be a* physician of experience In thecare and treatment of the Insane. in IMb theState Commission was created, consisting: of threemembers. Including a physician who had been ad-mitted to practice ten years, and who had had Bv«jyars" experience in the -"ire and treatment of theinsane and in the manage iof institutions forthe insane.

Sixth- The legislation of Ms! was confirmed :nIV'O. ard more particularly in ISLW. by Chapter IS• f the Law* of ISM. which was amended by Chapteras of the r. tw« of !?•».

Seventh— The srhole care and treatment of th*Insane I; substantially a medical question, and re-quires that at least one m<nihor of the Commls-

should be a physician well trained In thestudy of mental diseases and in th» management ofInstitutions.

Kiphth—There i«. in round numbers. one Insaneperson to every three hundred of th« population,and it may be stated broa ll* that tl ere i*scarce-ly a family In the Stn?e that Is not directly or in-dlreftly Inter* in the proper care and treat-ment of the Insane, and necessarily In the man-agemf-nt of institutions for the tn«;ine.

Ninth—AmonK other power-" th*> Commission hx*the sole power to license private institutions forth«* care of the Insane and summarily to revokelicenses for good reason.

Tenth—By Chapter 2*>o of the Laws of :>in theMedical Cn'mrr.i.-Moner only 1* required to visit andinspe-t private inMlMitioin for ....... »heether tv.o Commissioners t-cirx relieved from thisduty. Therefore It Is <->f the hlphost consequence

thst th^ Moll'-sil ml»loner sh^ul 1 be able topass Intelligently uron •!..- ease of a pattern who.It Is charged, is illegally detained. The Kent tilpractitioner of medicine could not perform thisduty.

Eleventh— The New- York State hospitals containa vast proportion .if all 'be Insane In the State.namely, more than • wenty-two thousand, onlyabout 'u thousand being in the private nsylums, andIt Is only proper tint these Institutions shouldhave the benefit of at least one trained Commis-sioner.

Twelfth—The State's financial interest can be

fully protected through the other Cotnralssionera,namely. the lawyer and the layman, who are notrequired to have spe.ial qualifications, except thatnny attorney Is iHill for appointment who has1..-. n In the "actual practice of his profession for at

least ten years.Thirteenth— lt l* not too much to say that the

passage of this bill In it- present form woullcause wMfspre.i'l apprehension on th. part of tn

*

public, which Is keenly alive to the dangers of per-sons belie Improper!) detained la asylums for theinsane. The Stat.-'s Interest, too, would undoubted-ly suffer by being deprived of the services Of iphysician who possessed the Qualifications requiredfor a period of nearly thirty years
