THE wHIsKEY INDICATOR.

Senator Moffett has had his whiskey indi-
Gator remodelled and greatly improved.
The gong is now sounded and the pointer
on the dial moved simultaneously by turn
of crank. The dial may be seen through
glass on one side, but the box itself is
sealed up tightly, and, il DR.. Mofett's bill
now before the Senate is adopted, can only
be opened by the Commissioner OF the
Revenue. AS before stated, the plan is to
require no license-tax Of bar-keepers, but
to make them procure an indicator and
place it on the counter. Every time,a drink
Is sold the gong is to be sounded in the
presence of the consumer, and on the dial
is registered the bar-keeper's Indebtedness
to the State to the extent Of one cent for
each drink sold. For failure to operate the
indicator heavy penalty is proposed, hall
to 60 to the informer. There are numerous
prov visions as to those who sell by the mea-
sure, whether at retail or Wholesale.

The license Of speech allowed to attorneys
conducting an examination is SO often
abused as to have long been recognized as
an evil of the first magnitude. Protected by
the mgis Of the Court. IN impertinent lawyer
may annoy and cruelty wound the feelings
of a witness without giving the latter oppor-
tunity for escape or retaliation. But some
times the worm, if he be good stout and
healthy one, will turn upon his tormentor,
as was illustEated in this city yesterday. A
we1l-known real estate agent had occasion to
testify in condemnation suit, aud his testi-
mony was not satisfactory to the opposing
counsel, who, in addressing the jury, cast
severe reflections upon the character Of the
witness. These aspersions coming to the
ear Of the latter, he became exceedingly en-
ragged, and, laying in wait for the unsuspect-
ing attorney, proceeded to administer,
or to endeavor to administer, a castiga-
ton. The affair is of little importance,
except for the two morals that may be de-
duced; one is that lawyers are, under the
present ruling of Courts, allowed far too
much liberty in personal illusions during the
examination Of witnesses; the other, that
m attorney should measure the physical ca
pacity Of his victim before applying the legal

nor was ths knowledge CT it confined to q
few scientific men,; it was not kept secret
from the public, but was long and thor
oughly discussed. It wns not enacted by
mere omission, but was done openly and
deliberately, and every man in England
knew it. How did that transaction stand
morally? The British debt was then at its
highest sum. It was overwhelming.
Specie payments were suspended. Tile
"national honor" was pledged to
pay that debt in silver or gold
all private debts were payable in silver
or gold "good faith" demanded that
there should be no tampering with the
standards of values. Silver was the legal
tender,-the money of the people. But
silver at that time WINS, as gold is now, the
dearer metal. IF tho relative values of gold
and silver in 1876 vera the same at this
time the American dollar of 4124 grains
would now be worth about 1IG cents in gold.
Gold was then worth about 81 cents in
silver; but the British Government demon
etized silver, abolished tho dearer metal rs
loga1~tender, and made the gold-84-cent
dollars-the exclusive standard in payment
Of all debts, public and private. That was
the way Great Britain dealt with her
creditors and no one ever questioned the
right of that Government to select the
cheaper money with which to pay
debts. Great Britain then debased her
silver coinage, and at this time 90 British
shillings (silyer) are not worth much over
$40 in gold, while 20 British sh1llings
(gold are worth $4.S6 gold in American
money. That "degraded," dishonest"
and swindling " money,is legal-tender in
England to the amount Of $40, and there is
500. .000, 900 of it in circulation.
We commend these facts to those who insist
that we shall first add 10 to 20 per cent to the
value Of gold coin by making it the only legal
tender; and TINT we shall then pay all our |
debts, public and private, in this gold coin
with its exaggerated value, in order to pre- |
serve the national honor and good faith with |
our British creditors, who bought our bonds |
1t 60 cents, payable in gold or silver, but who
aow want gold exclusively.

The war opinions OF two Of the leading
weekly papers of London are given in our
dispatches this morning. The Spectator
takes the ground that the real meaning Of
the summons for the early assembling of
Parliament is that the Premier desires
to encourage the Turks to continue their
struggle as long Us possible in hope of mid
from England; but TINT the expected aid
will be withheld, or kept, like q
will-o'-wisp, dancing before them yet for
ever out Of reach, until the Sultan and
his harem will finally be obliged to flee
ecross tho Bosphorus, while Turkey in Eu-
rope will cease to exist. This is strong Ian

FEMALE EXTRAVAGANCE.

a writer IN the Penn Monthly-a maga-
zine, by the way, which ought to have a
wider Observation-Disclosures considerable space
to the prevalent complaint Of the day as to
the e1traTagance Of girls in dress, ideas. and
manners, and takes up the cudgel in their
behalf. His ideas upon the subject are not
remarkably new, but they are presented in
such systematic and attractive style that
they are worthy Of consideration, moro cs-
pecially as the defense is about as strong as
can be made. The first point nude by the
writer is that the charge that girls are rela-
lively more extravagant today than they
were IN the past is an old one, and has been
made in every ago and in every civilized
community ever since the days Of Ep1crErus;
and he might have gone still farther back
than that old censor Of manners. This, how
ever, Is but bare statement of fact, and
does not excuse the extravaganza, or even
make suitable apology. His second point
is not any stronger. It is undoubtedly true,
as he says, that modern science and art have
given us new and better articles and st
less cost than the poorer articles could be
pioeureu Tor IN the past, and that, as dress
is one OF the most important questions in life
to woman(:), we should advance in matters
or oress as well rs in everything else n; but
even this does not excuse extravaganza. That
the girls of the present should dress better
ana richer than the girls of the past does not
OF necessity accuse them of extravaganza
because IN the advance of science and in
7ent1on we live better and can easily and
cheaply produce better fabrics than home
spun and calico. This has nothing to do
With e1tra1agance; neither has fashion. for
fashion now is no more e1travagant than it
aVer was. Fashions do not change. There
IS nothing now under the sun in them. They
move in circles. The fashions Of to-day will
'oon turn over and 60 out of sight, but they
