the grand total Of twenty-five thousand dol

smallest of 81 600. THE prizes are arrang-

KISSES The principal charge against
Rev. Mr. Linn, of Pittsburgh, [triel for
immoral conduct;l was that he kissed one
or two young ladies' Is 1t always immoral
to kiss yoqag ladies? Here is a question
that might proftably engage the learned la
bors of debating societies. If you ask the
young ladies to decide tno question their
verdict will probably be that if tho kisser
be gentlemen, and the kissec be willing,
there is no guile in the event. But, rs i
general thing, we should be inclined to vote
in the opposite direction. 1t depends a
great deal, we admit, upon the kind of kiss
administered. We have the kiss paternal,
the kiss brotherly, the kiss cousingiy, The
kiss ministerial, [probably Mr. Linn used
this one, the kiss conventional, the kiss
Fashionable, livery much like an icic!e, Ihe
kiss Of iliIlauon, the kiss sFooney, ard ever
so many other kisses which have been con
side.t3 allowable, even if administered by
young and uurelatcd parties. The safest
way, however, is to stick faithfully to the
kiss matrimonial, and never to administer
Or receive that unless the church has set
her seal upon il. Such pyrotechnics are
calamiious without sacred safeguards.

ALBANY, Jan. 5.-The State Senate met at

"A. q. Beach, made a pleasant address.
Committees were appointed to wait on the

Senate was ready for business.
The ternor's message was soon AT er sent
In. 1t 1s very lengthy document. He thinks
The TACT neither branch OF the Legislature

proves that there ts no real conflict OF interest

form ! n the State Prison mauegement; urges
the abolition OF the present practice OF detafn-
ing witnesses in criminal cases. The number
of banks In the state Is 4s8, including lOl
savings banks, with deposits exceeding
25,OQO ard 10000. The Governor urges the re-
peal OF he laws making Metropolitan districts,
etc., and says they ere clearly unlawful
He says 1t was the highest court In the State
by q bare msJor1ty, that held this legislation
valid, but IL has nevertheless been generally
aSmlted TO have been a partisan con ntri vance
for power. he therefore recon- mends the repeal

that measures will be taken to preserve the
purity of the bRlotbox. and deplores the fact
that proposition IL before Congress TO regulate
suffrage in all the States. The Governor hopes
that ihe State courts will not be deprived of
the power of naturalization. The message
almost exclusively deals with State matters
