TIE HEST VEEK or THE EYHTBTTION
The close of the first week of the Exposi-
ton still leaves in doubt the question whether
it will pay for itself in dollars and cents.
But its success is assured in points infinitely
more important than any purely financial
one. In tho first place, the accommodations
provided prove sufficient To insure the absolute
comfort of the public The buildings and
grounds are so large that n large daily
attendance does not produce crowd. The
great concourse at the gates mclts away into
the vast houses; every man has breathing
room, and that comfortable sense of license
and quiet essential TO thorough comprehension
of the object before him.
Another marked success is the promptness
with which the Exposition il recognized and
received by the masses of our own people, not
rs show place but as school. There il very
little idle sauntering, except by now comers on
their first visit In the groups surrounding an
exhibit the faces Of Americans, keen, alive,
quick-eyed, are distnguishable from all Others.
and the questions asked by them are usually
shrewd and intelligent Specialists, of course,
seek out their own department Of study: art,
mechanics, agriculture. ceramics, etc. But the

PFFOPU ~ THE NAILS.

We do not remember any great measure of
legislation which the Democratic majority IN
the House of Representatives has succeeded III
adding to the statute books, hut 1t VIII long
be distinguished Tor its policy OF interference
in tho affairs of the Pos-0llce. This is one OF
the few departments in which the public service
has been conducted with eXaspcratng honesty
ana efficiency, and it is almost the only one
with which the Democrats lave seriously med
died. They nearly cut off the supply OF gas
and water Il few weeks ago. and now we aie
assured that they have determined to cut oil
the fast mail trains, perhaps IA iirst step
toward a return to the old p0ny-express and
stage-coach of the days OF Jefferson
There il large and unfortunately indus
tri0us class of persons in Congress who
cannot he expected TO comprehend the adyan-
tagcs of "thc rapid communication oi Thought
"and intelligence by electricity and stcam,
and to them fast mails doubtless appear to he
needless luxurics of the rich, something Ike
billiard tables and fast horses; but we should
think even these rudimcntary politicians might
have some perception of the popular temper.
Tho establishment of the fast mails has been
hailed all over the country ia one of the most
lion; it il looked upon by the Am rcan peo-
pic with u feeling Of pride; good exam
ple of national energy and enterprise; and the
abandonment of the service Will provoke a
general and angry remonstrance.
The proposed action in this case ia re-
markable illustration Of that vast, varied. and
almost universal incapacity which has distin-
guished the Democratic House Of Representa-
tiyes ever since the beginning of the session.
1t has touched nothing that it has not mud
died, from the impeachment of a Cabinet
Minister to the scrutiny of supply bill. IL
entered upon its work with policy marked
out for it 50 plainly in advance that blunders
seemed almost impossible. This il cam
"paign session." devoted principally to the
manufacture of political capital, and the loud
cry for retrcnchmcnt and reform w'i"h
sounded all over the United States made IT
clear from the start tina. the proper course for
the Democratic majority was to investigate
abuses and cut down the estimates. Both these
things they have indeed attempted, but how
They have cOntrivcd to disgust the whole ma
ton with the very word investigate, by show
ing that they do not know how to discriminate
between sober inquiry and mud-throwing, and
they have almost put the people out o1 the
humor of saving money by a reckless crippling
of the public service in some Of its important
branches, while in other directions they are
supposed to have been equally reckless IN ex-
pcnditurc. Whether in their attack upon the
fast mails they have been misled by some cr-
rOneOus idea of economy, or only actuated by
the same laundering hostility toward an
agency of popular enlightenment which in
spred the postal policy of Mr. llanlin. we do
not undertake TO say; but whatever the mo-
tive OF their conduct, they have committed IA
blunlcr which the people will be sure to re-
member and resent.

There is great variety in The choice OF Presi-
dental candidates by State conventions. New
Jersey Republican delegates are unit for
Blaine. Alabama and probably Kentucky favor
Brstow. Tennessee is largely for Morton. On
the other side, the Iowa Democratic Convention
leaves its delegates without instruction as TO
candidates and makes pretense of hard money
in its platform. The Ohio Democrats have
fallen into the snares of the inflationists, pre-
senting VIM. Allen as their favOrite. ana
adopting a minority report which is mush OF
all sorts of soft money, including unlimited
greenbacks, three-sixty -fves, and legal-tender

The gathering Of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church, which takes place
to-day at the Brooklyn Tabernacle, gives the
opportunity for a historical review, in other
columns, of the rise and progress of the de-
nomination. Even in respect TO establishment
in this country. the Presbytcrans are nearer
Iheir second than their first centennial, and
the earlier years of their Church were full OF
the arduOus struggles which pertained 10 the
colonial era. Organized efforts for the educa-
ton of their youth in the ministry, and hearty
abors in missionary fields both at home and
abroad have always formed characteristic
features of their church history. The great
division between Old and New School which
rent the denomination in twain in 1885. gave
opportunity for one of the grandest events in
ecclesiastical annals-the reunion of the
Church in 1870. One of the consequences OF
this union is, however, that the Assemblies
have latterly become large and unwieldy.

In its resolutions against return to q
double. standard of coinage and silver as
legal tender for indefinite amounts, the
American Neurological Society is taking hand
in deciding the great practical questions OF the
day. While the primary object of the Society
is to introduce and hasten reform in weights
and measures, the discussion of a suitable basis
for our coinage leads naturally in the direc-
ton of the important monetary measures which
are under debate in Congress. As the Society
is in possession of large mass of data on
srch subjects, and its membership includes
many profcients in the study of finance and
statistics, advice from this quarter will deserve
consideration.

People sometimes suppose that Dr. Plerce
Family Medicines represent the entire extent
of his resources for curing disease. This is an
error. Experience proved that while the Col
den Medical Discovery. Fayorite Prescription,
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, Compound Extract
of Smart-Weed. and DR.. 6age's Catarrh Rene
DIV would, il faithfully used, cure alarge variety
of chronic complaints, there would be here and
there case which, from its severity, or from
its complication with other disorders, would
resist their action. These exceptional cases
required q thorough examination into their
symptoms. to ascertain the exact nature and
extent of the disease or diseases under which
the patient was laboring, and the use OF specific
remedies to meet and overcome the same. This
led to the establishment of the Worlds Dis
pensary, at Buffalo N. T., with its Faculty OF
Physicians and Surgeons, each OF whom Is
skilled in the treatment OF chronic disorders In
general and those belonging to his own special
department in particular. TO one is assigned
diseases of the throat and lungs to another,
diseases OF the kidneys and urog enital organs
10 another, diseases Of the digestive system to
another, diseases Of the nervous system and
to another, diseases OF the eye and ear. Thus
the highest degree Of perfection in medicine
and surgery is attained. The establishment Of
this institution enables the Doctor to meet a
long-felt want In the treatment Of the more
severe chronic affections. BY careful con-
sideration OF the symptoms as given in writ
ing he successfully treats thousands OF cases
at their homes. Others visit the Dispensary in
person. The ampleet resources for the treat
mont OF lingering affections are thus placed at
the disposal OF every patient, and those on
whom the proprietary medicines do not nave
the desired effect can procure more thorough
and efficient course by personal application
to the proprietor Of the Worlds Dispensary.

Judge Elcock laid down somewhat
novel law of the street car on Saturday
last in the case of suit for damages
against the West Philadelphia Railway
Company. A woman riding in one OF
the crowded cars, and not holding by the
strap, was thrown down by a jar in stop
ping the car, and had her knee-cap frac-
tured. Judge Elcock charged the jury
that women are bound to hold on to the
straps suspended from the roof, s. if they
can do it conveniently, but, at the same
time, that women are not to be held to
the same rule as men IL such cases. The
jury was further instructed that the court
would not set aside their verdict on ac-
count of excessive damages, unless they
were "grossly exorbitant," or unless
!" unfairness, prejudice, or mistake" was
shown. Under these rulings the jury
gave the plaintiff $500 damages, and
the Court refused to set the verdict aside
or grant new trial. - philadelphia

Indebtedness Of the Pacific Railroads.

The House Judiciary Committee Is
still considering the subject of the in
debtedness of the Pacific railroads to the
Government, with view to arriving at
some satisfactory settlement of the dis
puted question now pending in the sew
eral branches. The Chairman, Mr..
Knott, has addressed q letter to the
Presidents of the Union anc sntral
Pacific companies, requesting them to
make such propositions as they would
agree to, and naming the amount
which they would be willing to
pay into a sinking fund semi
annually In order to extinguish
both principal and interest of the SUBJ

The Vitality OF the Jews.

The Jews are the healthiest and long
est-lived people on the face of the earth.
Their immunity from diseases of all
forms is remarkable. Even the great
epidemics pass them by with the infic-
ton OF much lighter scourge than falls
upon other races. 1t Is declared that
the cholera never chose one of them for
it's victim, and, in fact, the deaths from
this malady have been so few as almost
to bear out the assertion. Suicide is
seldom practiced among them. 1t has
been computed, from statistics returned
in certain provinces of Austria and Ger
many, that, In population of 1000, 600,
the proportion of suicides between the
Jews and the mixed white races was as
one to four.
From data carefully studies d, Hoffman,
found that, between the years 1923 and
1910, the number of still-born among the
Jews of Germany was in 80, and
among other races as In 40. Mayer
ascertained that, in Furth, the proper
tion of Jewish children who die between
the ages of / and years is 10 per cent,
age it is IA per cent. M. Neuville, cal
culating from the statistics of Frankfort,
shows even a greater vitality existing
among the children of the Jews. He
also finds from his data that the average
duration of the life of the Jew is IS
years and months, while of the Chris
tian it is Sc years and II months. SIN
the total of all ages, half of the Jews
born reach the age of So years and /
month, while half the Christians born
attain the age of 36 years only" One
fourth of the Jewish population live be-
yond II years, but the same proportion
of the Christian population live only be-
yond SO years and 10 months. The
official returns of Prussia give the Jews
mortality of 1.61 per cent, and the
whole kingdom 2.62 per cent. While
the Jews double their numbers in ALI
years, others require period of 81 years.
in 1849 there was in Prussia l death for
every 10 Jews, and death for every 80
of the remaining population.

beaten in the courts. The time and
labor OF the departments and Congress
is very much taken UP with these ques-
tions to no good purpose, and it is the
general impression that some fair prop
osition viii be reached which will for
ever put an endto the costly contention.
1t is thought by some that the roads
would agree to pay each half million
yearly into such sinking fund.
