0DEAD.KEADs.o
the owner al

Tie Times Of yesterday says that sit is almost i'm
possible to speak seriously" of the act of the last
Legislature prohibiting dead-headS on the rail-
roads Of this State, and for that reason suppose,
it does mt try. fit had given the subject serious
thought it would have remembered that railroads
chartered by legislative act and necessarily sub
ject to legislative regulation. To say that these
companies may do as they please, without
regard to the rights Of the public, or the
rights of their stockholders, is simply alb
surd' Their privileges and powers are restrained
and limited and the Legislature not only has the right
but it is its duty to interfere whenever these are ex
ceedcd by the persons exercising them. According to
the theory Of The TmeS-ifitS yapid fippancy can be
called theOry-if the Directors OF Railroad should
resolve to put all its surplus earnings into their OWN
pockets and pay nothing to the stockholders, any in
reference of the Legislature would be the act OF
set of querulous medders." But if the LeglS'
lature have the right and duty to interpoSe Its
authority in such case to direct the whole oil the
profits Of the road to go to those to whom they le
ultimately belong, they certainly have the same au'
thoty over the direction of part Of those profits
The Times unwittingly answers itself when 1t says
that the men who mainly support these roads py
crowiing them with freight are deliberately insult.
ed By the Legislature who will not permit them to
travel for nothing Herein is the very necessity OF the
act in question. The " dead-head" system has
thus confessedly grown into serious wrong
and the officers Of the roads have thrown away
large share of legitimate traffic by carrying passen
gers for nothing the price Of whose passage would
have added largely to the revenue OF the roads, And
to such dimensions has the abuse grown by use that
from passing business men free it was inevitable that
it should be extended to travellers for pleasure, so
that every officer on the roads could get passes Tor
his friends for the asking. How much the profits
Of the companies have been diminished by
this vicious system it is impossible to tell but it was
certainly in the aggregate, something enormous 1t
was at least an injustice to the stockholders and the
public if not fraud. The former have right to all
the profits the roads make; the other hand II
the companies can afford to do without these profits
then the benefit should 60 70 the public in decreased
fares ana freights rather than that they should be
given away to the privileged friends of officers and
employees. For our part we have again and again.
when occasion has offered, requested railroad and
steamboat officers pass nobody free on our accounts
we rejoice now that the system is prohibited by law
in this State and trust that other States will follow
her example and put an end to an enormous abuse

METHODIST UNION CONVENTION.

Convention of the nOn-EpiscOpal Methodist
bodies of the United States (not as the dispatch TO
the Associated Press has it, Of "the New Methodist
Episcopal Church y has assembled at CINCINNATI Tor
the purpose of eHectng permanent Union. AT pre-
mnary meeting held last year. four Methodist bodies
the American wesleyans, the Free Methodist the
Independent Methodists aud the Northern Confer
ences of the Methodist Protestants were represented
Last year the feeling among the members on these
denominations was unanimous in favor OF union,a ana
we believe such is still the case. Together, the four
denominations represent membership OF about
10000. They all agree in an earnest opposition
TO slayeholding and to making any distinction
among citizens on account Of color The first three
have from the start made nOn-slayeholdng condi-
ton of membership and the Northern portion oil the
Methodist Protestants have shared, though not the
same legislation, at least the same sentiments. The
first three we believe have not single congregation
in TIE former slave States, and as regards the Metho'
dist Protestants only part Of those In Western Vr'
GINA have remained in connection with the Confer
ences in the Northern States. All the other Southern
Conferences have been and still are in full harmony
with the sentiments of the late Shareholders. The
new church, if formed, may be relied upon by the
friends of freedom as an earnest co-worker IN tho
cause Of Universal Liberty and Impartial Suffrage.

We cannot help ourselyes-this in several senses.
The doctor prescribes one thing, the cook another,
and it iS hard to escape the nausea Of played'out
bill of fare If there is death in the pot, II food
and drink are somewhat adulterated IN desire TO
please the common taste cheaply, we must console
ourselves with the example Of Naturalization we
have not yet lived out the prediction Of the late Tot
tingen alchenist, who said that in the nineteenth
century the ransmuaton ofmetals would be generally
known and practiced and that kitchen utensils would
be of silver and gold (Which will contribute more
than anything else to prolong e poisoned at present
by the oxide of copper, lead, and iron which we daily
swallow in our food" But it would be good thing
if our saloons could reform themselves They
have their merits and cOnyeniences undoubt-
edly but some one says our modern pot-houseS are
only schools for dyspeptc atheism, which, Without
hoefood and eduties, has lost the holiness OF
health" and feeds on anything but the bread OF liie
Not willing to take so hopeless view, still, we think
it would be no ones disadvantage to be as prudent as
possible in choice of diet during CELEBRATING. The
fact that so lately more unwholesome stables were
pointed out in which hundreds Of the pictorial stump
tails undergo daily morbor in order that their mis-
erleS may DC Ietaiieu Us Puio HIN Vi w" f'"o
kindness-shows how slowly we reform some OF our
dietary sources, let alone diet itself There is the
guiltess COW who is shockingy fed-but what OF the
deluded drunkard who swallows cheap lightning with
tarantula in it, What gallons of poor liquor are
sold in the common saloons cannot easlyb computed
but this, though health question, is not the ques
ton at hand 1t may be best for heaths sake to take
far.of view of the unslaughtered Aocks OF Arcadia;
but an clearinghouse conducted on principles OF pure
cookery would be practical mercy to those who sui
fer for want of plain boiled RICE That man who will
invite us to firs-class chophouse and treat us to
good dinner fare, simply cooked will deserve well OF
public whose appetite is ready to revolt against the
prevailing regime. We shall hail him as Bayard oil
cooks and his table will be field OF
the cloth Of gold

SANITARY MEASURES IN ASIA FOR PRE-.
VENTING THE CHOLERA.

The medical Investigations on the origin OF the
Asatic cholera have pointed out the filthy habits OF
the Mohammedan pilgrims to Mecca as the primary
source TO which the civilized world is indebted for the
rayages of that dreaded calamity. This result OF
scientific investigations has led the European Govern
ments, and especially that of France, to consider
the question whether diplomatic influences might be
able to reform the sanitary condition Of the pilgrim
ages and thus to dry up tho source OF incalculabe
mischief A correspondent Of the Paris Patr'e,'
from Jddah, a port on the Red Sea, where the
pilgrims land proceed by land to Mecca, states that
at the suggestion Of the French Government many
reforms this year have been carried through.
The following ore some Of the most important facts
mentioned by the correspondents
At Jiddah large khans" have been established.
where the pill grms have to stay for time before
continuing their journey. The condition of these
khans." in hygienc point of view, is most salts
factory.
The Journey from Jddah to Mecca, which formerly
was made in from IL to Is hours, will hereafter be
made in q, and there will be three stopping places.
At each of these stopping places large "khans" have
been established where the pilgrims will spend the
night and repoSe.
At Mecca great precautionary measures have been
adopted A vast hospital has been established near
the city with drugstore. Sick pilgrims will remain
in this establishment until their complete recovery.
Moreover, encampments have been prepared for the
pilgrims where they will find everything they need,
and which they will only leave during the times of
their devotional exercises
Special attention has been paid to the water ques
ton The celebrated Zemzem Well, in the interior
of the mosque, has been repaired. This well never
dries up and as it furnishes an excellent and copiOus
supply of water, it will be an immense benefit. The
reservoirs which receive the water from the sources
OF the Arafat have also been restored, and will large
Is provide for the wants Of the numerous pilgrims.
The most important reform which has been effected
Is that with regard to the sacrifices. Instead of leaving
the flesh and the entral of the slaughtered animals
exposed to the air until they pass into complete de-
composition and fill the atmosphere with MAS
mas they will he covered with earth immediately after
sunset 1t is expected that this reform will cause
great dissatisfaction among the fanatcal Moham-
medans but the authorities have at their disposal the
necessary troops for executing the rules.
Il ia confidently hoped that these reforms, strictly
executed will put stop to the spreading OF the
cholera and for once the Imperial Government Of
France will have gained for one of its acts the
unanimous and enthusiastic gratitude OF all nations

THE sAPPERs AND MINERS AT WORK.

Last week a resolution was introduced into the
Common Council repeating and resembling the reso-
luton of July 2, 1859, making the sidewalks on
Fitth.aye. below One.hundred. nd.tenth-st., from
the line Of the street to the kennel gutter thirty
feet wide and also repeating all other resolutions
ordinances permitting the owners of property along
the avenue to use fifteen feet of the sidewalk for
court.yards, &C. This resolution was referred to a
Joint Special Committee of both Boards lfit should
be reported favoraby upon, as is likely and should
pass both Boards it will be but another evidence of
the power for evil of the sappers and miners in the
Common Council. The proposition is TO enlarge the
carrage-way, now forty feet wide by taking in part
Of the sidewalks, aud then to cut away the magnf
cent stoops aud to throw tho courtyards into side
walks. OF course, all this is proposed to be done
under the speeous pretext of public convenience. All
the property owners, all the occupants Of houses
along the line Of the avenue, and nine-enths of the
people Of this City, are opposed to this new
outrage about TO be perpetrated by the Goths
and vandals in the Common Council. TO
address any bat a certain kind Of reasons to our
City Fathers would be like hurting syogism at the
rocky battlemcnts of the palisades. For over "a
years. the property holders the Avenue relying upon
the permission given them in 1892 have been erecting
magnificent residences at once the pride and orna-
ment of our City, and extending their stoops and
courtyards Is feet upon the sidewalk and now, after
this long enjoyment Of tho quiet possession of this
privilege, the propertyhoders 60 to sleep one night,
not even dreaming of any such interference and
awake to read in their morning papersthat the sappers
and miners are at work. We can readily see that this
proposition must have as its aim either one or the other
of two objects-either to black.mail the wealthy
property owners and occupants along the Avenue by
thus threatening to destroy their property, or else it is
the intatory step to laying railroad track in this
the most beautiful of our streets. Who can suppose
that our wealthy citizens would have erected their
stately residences, so much admired by all, if they
had for moment imagined that their rights and
privileges were so soon to be taken from them
We say to tho Common Council that the patience
of this community is worn out There is time when
patience ceases to be virtue and becomes crimes
and We should not be surprised if that time bad come
