SENATOR COOPER cannot evade the
responsibility of the Regular Republican
organization of the state for his position
on some of the leading issues which have
come before the Senate this winter.
Notably has he represented its views and
led its forces to defeat on the recorder
bill, the anti free pass law and the free
pipe line legislation. The evils which
these measures were desired to cure are
either of Republican origin or have con-
tinued through years of Republican SUI
premacy, during which the majority in
the Legislature never adopted the needed
measures of relief. During these years
Cooper had been in the Senate and at
their close he found himself, by the
voice of his party, at the head of its or
ganization. While the independents
had favored such laws they had never
been able to bring their party into line:
and finally, it was only by the help of the
almost solid Democracy that they
were accomplished. Against them
Cooper had led the fight with des-
peration and he has marshalled
the Staiwarts at every sound of his
bugle. The assurance of cooperation
from Democratic House has strength
ened the not unnatural alliance OF the
Independents and Democrats and while
the success of good legislation at Harris
burg is not to be claimed entirely as a
partisan victory for the Democracy, it
it certainly marks a signal defeat for the
Regular Republicans.

f!ectricity as a Motor.

Professor Henry Morton, of the Stevens
Institute Of Technology, New York, de-
livered remarkable address, in which he
showed by experiments that by a simple
contrivance and at slight expense electric
ity could be used as a motive power, not
merely to propel street cars, but to run the
most complicated kind of machinery. The
energy stored in box a cubic foot large
could take car full of passengers from
one end of New York city to the other.
He claimed that the contrivance might ex-
ceed in value the invention of the tele-
phone, as the secret of applying electricity
as motive power has hitherto been sought
in vain,

THERE is an evident attempt on some
hands to put the Democratic party on !:
tariff for revenue only and from revenue
only, which is advertised as being also a
tariff for protection. The projectors of
the idea know we'll enough that tariff
for revenue only cannot be a protective
tariff, since it would require a rate of
duty to be laid that would encourage
the largest foreign importation while
the protective tariff calls for the restric-
tion of foreign importation. The man.
ufacturing interests would prosper bet
ter under free trade policy, which
would at least let them import their raw
materials at the lowest price, than under
tariff that would levy such rate of
duty on raw materials and manufactures
as would induce the free importation
necessary to secure the largest possible
revenue for the government, which is
necessarily contemplated in a tariff for
revenue only.

A Fortune for Saving Man,sL

In December last Joseph A. Barber en-
listed iu the United States army for five
years. giving his age as 81 years and 8
months, and was sent to David's Island,
New York. About a year ago Barber was
brakeman or the New York and New
Haven railroad, and one day he saved an
aged man who wss passing from one car
to another from being crushed to death.
The man died recently, and bequeathed
$40, 900 to Barber for saving his life. Bur-
Der is still at David's Island, and will
probably remain there until he attains his
majority, as he in reality will not be 81
years of age for number of months,

TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL "a. 1888
4 Sensible Movement.

The proposition to forbid by statute
the treating of your friends to liquor at
a licensed bar is one which is novel, and
at the first blush it seems impracticable
and foreign to the jurisdiction OF the
law. But we incline on reflection, to
consider it sensible and practical idea,
and to recommend it to the favorable
consideration of the Legislature. we
think that there is general agreement
that the practice of treating is foolish
and Injurious to the public morals. Men
by it are induced TO consume more liquor
than they desire. The generosity of the
first one in the company who offers the
treat is felt by the others to call for a
like exhibition of liberality on their part.
They do not desire to be deemed mean,
and they in turn offer to set up
the drinks, though they may not waht
ANYTHING more themselves, and neither
may their comrades. Still the latter IN
cline to accept rather than be thought
lacking in convivialty and good spirit
There is in the nature of the thing no
more reason why one man should allow
another to pay for what he drinks than
for what he wears; yet nobody thinks OF
offering or accepting apparel or anything
else, indeed, but this one thingeof liquor
A story has lately been going the
rounds which related how one man
who was treated led his com
panions into 4 store and bought
them shirt collars: The absurdity OF
this idea every one recognized and saw
the palpable hit it made at the prevalent
habit of treating. 1t is certainly an
absurd and injurious custom, and as il
seems to be beyond rectifcation by men!
common sense it would be well for thu
law to make an essay at abolishingit.
Nothing more would be needed than
statute recurring those who are license;
to sell liquor to take their payment for i
from each one that they serve, and for
bidding them to accept it from one maj
for the drink furnished another. nnde
penalty of an immediate revocation o
their license on complaint made to tin
court, accompanied by the proof of tht
offense. This penalty would be sufficient
for no one would care to risk the loss o
his license where he could SO readil
protect himself. The man who want
to treat his friend would then have t
hand him the money with which to pa
for his own drink, and the embarrass
ment of such an operation would pre-
vent its being frequently resolted to.

the city, borough and towpshlp indebted
