A man in Kentucky, all alive and

An eminent professor in one OF our
colleges recently remarked to the senior
class that, as it was necessary for them
to spit so much, he wished they would
bring spittoons to the recitation room.
Accordingly, at the next recitation, in
marched the sedate seniors, each bear
ing spittoon, which, as they sat down,
were deposited at their feet. The pro-
fessor not in the least disconnected, pa
tiently conducted them through the les
son, and at its close said Il am very
glad, gentlemen, to see that you are so
attentive to my wishes, and as there is
some danger of your spittoons being
lost or broken between recita tions, you
may carry them to your rooms, at such
times bringing them with you when You
come to recite again" The spittoons
had freely been used, and the joke of
the professor was appreciated. He con
quered.

THE INSULT TO OUR FLAG.

Spair-or, at least, the Spanish colon
ial authority in Cuba--has once more
fiagrantly insulted not only the Ameri
can flag, but the American Government
and the American people; and it is not
surprising that the American Republic
is filled with cry OF indignation from
its very circumference. Had the i'll
fated Virginius borne the flag of Great
Britain, would she and her human con-
tents have been treated with such con-
temptuous vindictiveness Would even
Spanish faulty have ventured to fout
in so audacious q manner the flag of
Germany? By no means.
But will the American heart submit
in silence to these CALLING indignities
Win not its every pulsation bid the ma
tional mouth shrek out wildly for
prompt retribution viii not the
American people. proud of their heroic
history, chafe like the Gagged lion under
this public slap in the face from Spain,

Fifty thousand men stand out OF work
to-day in New York and its immediate
suburbs. Hundreds of idle merchant
ships might be converted into armed
transports. Let congress but speak the
inspiring word, and a gigantic army of
eager volunteers would be landed in
Cuba that would batter down the walls
of the Moro Castle, and we could, and
should, in the interest of civilization and
humanity, at once anticipate " manifest
destiny" by transferring the "Queen of
the Antilles" to the brilliant galaxy Of
our United States.

We are passing through troublous
times, The entire country is convulsed
with financial embarrassment. Thou
sands of men are thrown out of work at
an Indictment season of the year. Bust
ness is stagnated, merchants are dis
couraged, and debts remain unpaid. A
remedy for tho dilemma has not yet
been devised. In the meantime, econo-
my is the order of the day. Surplus
help is being discharged, the hours of
labor are being reduced, and wages are
being cut down. We believe that in
due season the "good time" will come,
although we cannot fix the date. 1t
becomes all to keep up good heart,
and wait till the times improve.

BETTER TIMES AHEAD.

We have touched bottom and begun
to ascend. The crisis is over. The
worst has been seen and felt. Stocks
have already risen, and are steadily APP
preciating. 1t is absurd to suppose
that stocks of good roads can stand at
the figures they have been sold for with
in the last fortnight when there is near
ly eight hundred millions of money in
circulation, and every month adds to
the wealth and population and business
of the country. As the panic subsidies
money will steadily find its way ont Of
its temporary hiding places into its
wonted channels, and the stringency
will cease. There is no reason for think.
ing that the bank of England's rates
will be raised, and probably they will
be lowered very soon. The commercial
and mercantile interests of the country
are generally sound. There have been
but few failures, and these have shown
an excess of assets over liabilities, which
is somewhat remarkable. The crisis
struck the mercantile classes, and has
rebounded from their unexpected soli-
dity like ball from rock, and conf
dence is already returning. The pros
poets for the winter gro Frightening on
every hand.
The time has come for steady but
energetic graphing with present inter-
ests and affairs. The business of the
country must go on. The grain and
produce of the West must be transport
ed and shipped. There is no surplus
stock Of goods in the country to fall
back upon, and our manufactures can
not remain idle long. The demand
presses so close on the heels OF the sup
ply that general stoppage is ont of the
question. Prices have fallen, but the
price of labor has fallen also and rea-
sonable men gladly accept lower wages,
which will purchase ms many of the nee.
essaries of life as large sum would buy
three months ago. Some branches of
business-the manufacture of railroad
iron, for instance-are at standstill !;
but with industry and economy on the
part OF laborers there need be no suffer-
ing, provided the city and general gov
eminent do their duty in the premises.
1t is folly to talk of relief committees
and soup-house associations. 1t is a
crime to support able-bodied men in
idleness in city and state where so
much work wants to be done rs here.
Five hundred men can be profitably
employed by this city alone in finishing
important works of public utility and
making needed and permanent improve
ments in our streets and parks. 1t need
not hire workmen at exorbitant prices
so as to compete with the private enter
prise of the city, but it should imme-
diately absorb every unemployed labor
er at fair wages, and utilize the present
opportunity for making improvements
for which we are suffering. 1t only
wants courage, and enterprise and ener-
gy TO look the facts fairly in the
face and make the most and best of
the situation, to mitigate the severi-
ties of the winter and really get COM
Portable and fairy prosperous season.

The need OF a paid fire department
was sadly felt at the fire last evening.
An engine lying within stones throw
OF the fire did not get to work until
fully half an hour after the alarm had
been struck. There is sufficient time
before the legislature will meet to frame
a bill creating paid fire department in
the city of Elizabeth. We insist, as we
have always, that the city would be far
better off with paid department.
