THE Philadelphia Press is receiving de-
served encomiums from its con.empora.
ries for its enterprising piece of detective.
reportorial work in arresting body
snatchers and, for q time at least, sup
pressing the disgusting offenss of grave

often displayed itself as great newspaper,
but it has never succeeded in creating a
more decided and legitimate sensation
than has followed its exposures Of this
week.
THE "HENRY V. KISS" invented by
Rignold, is the line at which tho legiti
mate actress stops and her jealous hus-
band iLterferes. 1t is thus described :
"Thc gentleman comes behind where the
lady is standing and puts both his hands
over her shoulders on her checks, SO that
the fingers Of both meet just beneath her
chin. Then he pulls her head back to his
shoulder and kisses her fully on the lips,
keeping his mouth 10 hers for fully two
minutes" The observant reader will sec
that tho thing has not been much i'm
proved upon si':c. Henry il t',t is the
royal way he did it..

TIE Harrisburg Patriot very proper
ly calls attention to the fact that under
legislation of doubtful constitutionality,
and by still more doubtful construction
of the statutes, the attorney general and
the incumbent of the office of secretary
of state have been drawing large fees in
excess of their salaries and it very SEN
sibly suggests that if it he possible for
the Legislature to fix the salaries of the
attorney general and secretary of the
commonwealth before these officers shall
have been sworn in that body should not
hesitate in the premises. Such acOurse
on the part of the Legislature would re-
lieve the new administration from very
delicate position and would at the same
time inaugurate proper and necessary
reform in the compensation of public
officials The pernicious system of fee
ing public officials, sought to he Obviat-
ed by the new constitution, ought GER
tainly to be abolished in connection with
these two Offices. The practice of COL
lecting fees in the attorney generals s
Office has led to scandal ever since it has
been INDUCED in, and if, as the Patriot
suggests, it is unlawful, the Legislature
should act on this matter promptly. TIE
salary of $500 is probably not adequate
to the professional standard required
in the legal adviser of the state,
but this had better be increased than
to longer tolerate the present elastic
| system under which the emoluments can
be swelled to Sl1 900 10y sometimes
questionable devices.

lative Offices are sinecures SHOULD be
left to the people," it may easily be an
,swered that the people have 10 other
way to designate them than by the un-
mistakable condemnation which they
have just given of the Republican prac-
tices which have prevailed at Harris
burg. They look to the responsible
Democratic majority and not to " the
entire Legislature " to lop off the rotten
growth. Before the ''entire Legislature"
convenes the Democrats will caucus for
nominations and it will he for them then
and there to determine what are sine
cures and to promptly resolve to abolish
them. There need be no "slOwness
about it. Mr.. Faunce, Mr.. Amerman'
Mr.. Ziegler, Mr.. Hasson, Mr.. Jenkins
and other " old Legislature-men" can
very promptly indicate some of the sine
cures that can be abolished at the very
outset of the next session, without de-
laying or imperiiing any public interest.
And if these " old Legislature.men -
cannot indicate these superfluous Offices
to their new fellow.members with sullic
lent clearness, some other means will be
found to bring this matter to the notice
of the first Democratic caucus which
will meet in Harrisburg.
In Beaver county a popular movement
has been begun for the abolition of some
of tie county bridges which have hith
erto proved an embargo on travel and
trade, while they afforded their stock
holders rich profit al the expense Of tie
people who were compelled to use them.
They have been condemned and ap-
praised, and an earnest effort will be
made to have them appropriated to the
public use, Notwithstanding the heavy
expense it will entail upon the county,
as they pay dividends of from 20 to 80
per cent. to their stockholders. This
latter circumstance demonstrates that
the time had come for their public ap-
preparation. The advanced condition
of most of the counties of this state
demands unobstructed highways and
the toll-bar and the toll-bridge sooner
or later must come down. The county
seat of every community should he &C
cessible to the people from every section
but all along the Susquehanna and botl
its branches, on the Lehigh, Schuylkill
Juniata and other streams of the state
there are toll-bridges, whose excessive
rates in most cases are severe exactiol
upon the travelling public and an EN-
barge Oh the trade of the towns to which
they should lead people instead of hin.
dering them therefrom. The enlightened
public spirit of Beaver county has beer
awakened to a proper appreciation o
public rights. There are many Othe
counties'in which the feeling on this sub
ject is equally strong, though it has no
yet found adequate expression.
