MONDAY EVENING, JUNE IA. 1890.
New York Tobacco Market.

New YOrk TOBACCO Markell
U. g. Tobacco Journal.
Brokers transacted an enormous quanti-
ty of business their tongues-this
week. Their qualifications for magnify
ing transactions are likely to become pro-
verbal. Sifted down to reality, the trans
actions sum up more heavily this week
than in any Of the weeks during the past
few months. The centre of attraction,
both for buyers and sellers, is the '79 Penn
sylvania. Timidity to buy in any large
quantities chara:terizes the prospective
buyers, and naughty, self-relyinp air the
would-be sellers. An almost impenetrable
secrecy as to prices is preserved by ALL
Conjectures of all sorts are indulged in
whenever sale is announced. Some hold
that the 70 Pennsylvania which has left
the packers hands, whatever the amount,
was taken at no profit to them, for the rea-
son that they fear a stampede of the army
of packers after the tobacco has gone
through the sweat. Others again declare
the prices which have been paid to run up
as high as 23c. for choice stock. A packing
of 800 cases of '79 Housatonic Conn. } is
reported sold. The price is said to be 22c.
Our packers in this country will do well in
giving the quotations of prices for new to-
baccO the benefit of the doubt. They will
also do well by selling whenever they see
a reasonable chance. In old tObaccos
transactions continue brisk and prices are
trifle better. Export remains quiet and
the growing crop is reported as doing
splendidly in all sections of the country.
We sum up the weeks sales as fol-
lows

The QUESTION OF MILEAGE.

Under the Codes members of the Legis-
lature were allowed fifteen cents a mile as
mileage. The new Constitution article
", Section 23) provides that 90 The men,
"bers of the Legislature shall receive for
their services per diem and mileage. to
g be fixed by law, and paid out Of the
public treasury; such per diem shall not
exceed eight dollars, ael such mileage
"shall not exceed ten cents per mile. and
"for contingent expenses not exceeding
I" twenty five dollars for each session. =
This provision is of course inconsistent
with the Codes. but the Constitution pro-
vides article NIL, Section y that THE
provisions of all laws which are incon-
"sistent with this Constitution shall cease
upon the adoption thereof, except that
" all laws which are inconsistent with such
provisions of this Constitution as require
" Legislation to enforce them shall remain in
" full force until the first day of July, eigh-
" teen hundred and eighty, unless sooner al
g. tered or repealed by the Legislature" It's
clear from this that the Legislature is not
estopped from paying itself mileage at the
old rate, and the committee charged with
the subject has already, in the Assembly,
reported in favor of fixing it at fifteen
cents per mile. There is no constitutional
objection to this course, but there is an
objection founded on expediency, which we
think members would do well to consider
1t is evident that the purpose of the Con-
stitution was to reduce the rate of mileage.
and while the amount of money involved is
not large, it would certainly make better
appearance if the Legislature manifested
determination to accept this and other in
tended retrenchments frankly. The ques-
tion is of no great consequence, but men,
bers who desire to stand well with the |
people must evinee some disposition to |
deal tenderly with the contents of the
State treasury

QUEER IDEAS OF LEGISLATION.

The other day an Assemblyman intro
duced bill providing that nobody should
be employed at less than % 5oa day. That
was the gist of the proposition, and of
course it was thrown out, but it serves to
illustrate kind of popular ideas which are
much more prevalent than IS commonly
supposed. The theory of dependence
upon the State for everything, or, in other
words, of paternal government, is not
American. 1t was Matched in the nest of
European Socialism, and it is really the re-
suit of ignorance of free institutions. No
American born man would ever think of
such device as making Government fix
the rate of wages. The continental So
cialists, however, never having known
what liberty was, have conceived the most
erroneous notions of the functions of gov
ernments. Their ambition IS to make the
State do everything for the citizen
find him work, pay him wages,
regulate his meal hours, prescribe his'diet,
ages, and in short conduct him in leading
strings all through life. That is the idea
of Continental Socialism, and that is the
doctrine which is relied upon by great
many people who nevertheless imagine
that they are basing their beliefs upon
American principles. Individual independ-
ence is the highest expression of human
freedom and individual independence is
as far as the poles are apart from paternal
government. All that the State can and
must do is to secure fair field and no
favor to all the people. That accom-
plished, every tub must stand upon its
own bottom. Men will rise or fall accord
ing to their merits. Wages will be gov
erned by natural laws. The Government
cannot take the first step in that direction
without encroaching upon the freedom of
the citizen.

least somesof the time spent at this par
ticular academy is not wasted.


Before civilization can make much fur
Their progress it is clear that domestic life
must be amended in important respects,
and above all in the culinary department.
The barbarous notion that eating was some
how sinful, and that it was unworthy of
intellectual beings to pay any attention to
Diet, has come down to us from the misty
days Of religious asceticism. It is physio-
logically and morally absurd, for nothing
can be more certain than that the temper,
culture and destiny Of human beings de-
pend very largely upon what they eat
The reckless use of indigestible food has
made millions of people unhappy all their
lives; has produced untold quarrels in
families has led to crime and disease and
mental and bodily suffering beyond ex-
preston. Not to recognize this is to confess
want of intelligence. Not to act upon the
knowledge of it is still worse 1t is, how
ever, only through the education of women
that the reform of the kitchen can be es-
tablished. They are the natural rulers of
the household, and unless they are taught
to insist upon wholesome and rational
methods of cooking, the old pernicious
habits will be adhered to. 1t is idle to ex-
pect any change for the better from the
domestic servants. They are either
welded to old-fashioned ways, or they
simply know nothing at all about cooking
The latter state is perhaps the preferable
one, since those who know nothing may be
taught, while those who think they know
something are generally above learning.
A great deal of nonsense is talked about
cooking, from the standpoint that
women ought to reform the kitchen IN or
der the better to manage their husbands.
In truth it is question OF hygiene, and
not of sentiment. Women enjoy good
health as much as men do, and their own
health is quite as intimately concerned as
that of their husbands. Cooking reform
may be pushed forward through the regular
educational machinery with more prospect
OF success thaa in any other way. Ii col
leges and schools of mechanic arts are to
be established for the boys, it is equally
desirable that schools of cookery should be
founded for the girls. The utility of the
latter is quite as plain as that of the former,
and it is even possible that such schools
would exercise a greater influence upon the
civilization of the future than giving the
boys trades is likely to do.

OUR GIRLS.

An interesting lecture on this extremely
fascinating topic was delivered the other
night The lecturer entertained sound
views upon the desirability of enlargng
the domestic education of girls, and ex-
patiated feelingIy upon the hopelessness OF
happiness in homes where the wife begins
her married life without any knowledge of
the duties she ought to perform. He was
Justly severe upon the frivolous "accom-
"plishments which are commonly
thought to be necessary to the completion
Of young woman's education, but which
are so utterly useless from the moment she
enters practical life. While, however, lee
lures on this subject may awaken thought
in the minds OF parents, they are not cal
culated to lead to practical results. Evil
IDENTIFY what is needed is the in
PRODUCTION to the educational course
of instruction in domestic duties
That is clear and straightforward
way to rectify the evils complained of, and
we have Just encountered one educational
institution at least which has attempted
this revolutionary scheme. We shall not
give the name of the seminary, because we
are not writing an advertisement. Suffice
1t to say that it is in Massachusetts,. The
circular that lies before us announces the
''Third annual course OF Object Lessons in
Cooking" and it gives a programme of
eleven lessons, at each of which either a
meal or some particular dish is to be cooked
by the teacher, and then eaten by the pu-
pills. For example, the first lesson consists
of "Stuffed leg OF mutton, Boiled rice,
" Mashed Potatoes, various modes of pre-
':paring cold potatoes, Pineapple Sherbet"
Another consists OF t'Roast Beef, Beet
''Steak, Celery Soup, Boiled Potatoes,
vanilla Ice-cream. A third enters into
the mysteries of preparations OF cold meats,
another deals with fish and fish balls and
fish hash, and SO forth. 1t is evident that
a girl who had gone through the entire
course conscientiously could not help learn
ing something about cooking, and that she
might easily be graduated as an accom-
plished cook. Nor is this the only radical
reform instituted at the seminary in ques-
ton. 1t has also classes in dress making
and millinery, where the young idea is
taught to harmonic colors and material, to
cultivate taste in dress, and to master the
economics of those occult trades. When
young lady graduates from this advanced
institution she is supposed to make her own
spring suit and bonnet, and to cook sup
per for her friends. II is evident that at

TIE NEMESIS OF LITERARY PIRACY.

II an international copyright law is ever
secured it is probable that it will be urged
upon Congress by American publishers who
have found that the absence of such
law is sword that cuts both
ways. A few days ago we recounted
the particulars of the piracy of the
Encyclopedia Britannica. That was
case in which the advantage seemed to lie
with the American publisher altogether.
1t Is not always so, however. For example,
the three leading English monthlies, the
Contemporary Revie,c, the Fortaightly Re
cieo, and the Nineteenth Century, have been
republished in New York, and so cheaply
that they are brought within the reach Of
every one. The first result of this stroke
of business was to force the
North american and the International
reviews to issue monthly, but it
Is fast becoming apparent that this
change will not save them. They cannot
command the literary talent which is at
the service of the English reviews, and
they cannot sell at price which will CON-
pete with the pirated American editions of
these publications. They are thus put at
a fatal disadvantage, both as regards quail
ity and cost, and it is impossible to see
any way of relief for them. So long as
the American reader can procure the best
results of the best minds of Europe for
twenty cents a month, it is unlikely that
he viii care to spend five times that
amount upon inferior literature. Of
course, too, this piracy of periodi-
Gals tends to cut the ground from un-
der American authors. When publishers
can take the products of the most cult
waited brains in Europe for nothing, they
are not likely to be willing to pay much
for native work When the publishers
of American reviews and magazines nave
to compete with pirated English periodicals
OF course they cannot pay high prices for
original matter. 1t is, in fact, only the
thieves who can make anything out of this
situation. Probably in little while the
American reviews will be suspended, and
there will be no longer any field for Ameri-
can writers of the higher class. And then
people viii wonder why literature does not
thrive in this country, and why we are so
dependent upon Europe for our ideas.

and "goaheaditiveness to smoke opium,
should be made to understand that in do
ing SO they are risking their health, and
very possibly their lives. The vice is one
for which no palliation can be found, when
it is INDUCED by white people, though it is
conceivable that person who has had the
misfortune to be born Chinaman may be
disposed to fly to the seductive poppy for
oblivion. If the practice can he sup
pressed by legislation there can be no
doubt of the wisdom of enacting such
measure as may meet the requirements of
the case, and the experiment is worth try
ing even though former attempts have not
been particularly successful.
