The board of health has acted none
to soon nor too radically in the matter
of quarantining the prison and protect
ing the city from the spread of the
smallpox prevailing there, to a degree
which the management of the institu-
tion does not seem to have appreciated.
It was mistaken policy to have under
rated the dangers which ensued from
the prevalence of such disease in such
place. The necessity for a special
building for hospital purposes, now and
in the future, is apparent and the other
recommendations of the health board
are SO salutary that all concerned Will
doubtless promptly carry them out. Ii
this is done there is no occasion FOL
special alarm among our citizens though
it will be well for all to do everything
needful and possible to prevent thu
spread of the contagion. In such mat
ters especially, an ounce of prevention
is worth pounds of cure.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY %. 1888
Not VERY CredItable.


The Philadelphia Press still keeps up
its frantic howl about those especial !"
cables which it declares the Times steals.
In its anxiety to convict the Times of
the theft it charges it quite overlooks the
fact that it discloses to its readers that it
has been deliberately misrepresenting a
cable dispatch to be special to itself
when its own testimony shows that the
same dispatch was open to purchase by
any one newspaper in every town in the
country. The Philadelphia right to this
special dispatch was intended to be first
offered by the agent of the proprietors to
the Times, but owing to the absence OF
its editor and its manager from the city
the Press got the first opportunity to
buy it but as there seem to have been
two agents the Times also got an " ex-
elusive " copy of the special" The
whole story is of itself of no consequence
and would not he worth noticing butfor
the development which it makes OF the
disingeniousness and dlscreditable in
clination to trickery and untruthfulness
exhibited by journals which profess to
stand on high plane of morality and
from it assume to teach the people. The
lessons they preach, being shown not to
spring from pure heart and an honest
conscience, are worthy of little weight
due to the source whence they come.
Neither of these journals had right to
give their readers to understand they
were furnishing them with q cable dis
patch which the readers of no other
people on this side of the water enjoyed.
And the journal that had the audacity
to charge upon its neighbor the theft OF
a special dispatch, which was not only
not special to it, but which it knew had
been bought from those who claimed
authority to sell it, has exhibited a rad
ical inclination to interpretation
which may be expected to exhibit
itself whenever it is invited thereto by
its supposed-but very mistakenly sup
posed-self interest. Such small bust
ness does not pay, even in an advertising
way, u journal whose conduct should
always give it a nobility of appearance
equal at least to the size of its preten
SiOnS.

THE repeal of the street railway act,
which is claimed by the Philadelphia
people to be offensive because it gives
the street railways control of the city
streets has been defeated by the lack of
constitutional majority and, as it
seems, by combination of the enemies
of the measure with the oil men who are
anxious to prevent the imposition of a
tax on their staple. From a party
standpoint the chief responsibility fol
the defeat of the measure rests with the
Republicans, as the Democrats furnished
g. of the95 votes for it and the Republi.
cans 80 of the 40 votes against it.

FEATURES OF THE STATE PRESS.

The Wilkesbarre Record seems to re
as presidential candidate.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch looks for i'm
portant consequences arising out of the
pope's opposition to Parnellism.
The Norristown Times. published on
the briny Schuylkill, is opposed to the
pilot bill.
The Oil City Derrick, not uniriendly to
the Standard, is furninst' tho proposed
tax on oil.
Tho Wilkesbarre Union Leader thinks
the Senate Judiciary committee has erred
against justice in negatiying the employ
er's liability bill.
The Reading Times thinks tho Press
show more enterprise in getting Spur
geon's sermons by cable than Spurgeon
shows in getting them up.
The gallant and appreciative Harrisburg
Telegraph declares that the present gen
Grafton has done more for woman's ad-
vancement than all the long ages preced-
ing.
Hearing that a married colored woman,
residing in Perry county, recently gave
birth to triplets, one Of which was white,
the Juniata Herald suggests that perhaps
there wasn't enough color to go around"
1t is not conclusive to- the Pittsburgh
Post that because Seymour is too old and
Pattison too young, the Democracy is in a
condition of crphanage az to candidates
for the presidency.
The Harrisburg Independent thinks Fair
and Tabor are leading us back to the days
when it was no uncommon occurrence for
a Roman lady or gentleman to meet four
or five of his or her former wives or
husbands in the same assembly.
The Philadelphia Truth proposes to pub
lish historical novel, tho s,sne laid in
the city of Brotherly Love about the time
of tho Revolutionary war, and the tale to
be called, of course, "The Fighting
Quaker, a Philadelphia story of Love and
War;
Notwithstanding DR.. Herrick johnson,
the Pittsburgh Telegraph insists that there
never was an occasion since the alleged
scarcity of Presbyterian preachers when
the church did not furnish as fine examples
of pastoral fidelity and of Christian cour-
age as she ever did.
The West Chester Republican intimates
that the leading New York journal which
bewails the decadence Of Quakerism "for
want of young blood" does not know what
it talks about, as the Society of Friends is
not only not losing ground for want of new
and young blood being infused, but the
figures show it is actually gaining in point
of attendance and membership of meet
ings.

IT is reported by "a person in the
confidence of President Arthur" that
he is not a candidate for reelection and
looks forward with intense longing to
the day of his release from the irksome
responsibilities of his present station.
This is not an unreasonable supposition
though few men who have held the place
have gone out of it at the end of their
first term without reluctance. Mr..
Arthur can probably quit with more
credit at the end of his first trial than if
he allowed himself to 60 further and do
worse.

Wisely Vetoed.

The governor has given another wise
veto in disappearing the bill enabling
married persons, living separate and
apart, to dispose Of their separate real
estate without consulting each other. We
do not very we'll understand how such a
measure received legislative approval !;
unless the Legislature is disposed to con-
slider the martial relation one which
may proftably be abolished altogether
and the contracting parties be permitted
to live together when and how and
so long as they please and when
they do not please, to separate pro-
vided only there is mutual agree
ment to that effect. If it is to be the
policy of the state that marriage may be
dissolved whenever both parties are will
ing, why does not the Legislature say so
in so many words instead of maintain
ing the present law which forbids dis,
solution of marriage through the con.
nivance of the parties, and prevents their
divorce without perjury, unless they
have substantial grounds to allege fo1
it. If married folk are permitted to live
apart and to have their property apart
they are about as nearly divorced as they
can get and they should be allowed the
name as well as the game.
Probably this bill passed the Legisla.
ture without consideration, being one
without political aim and only concern
ing the happiness of the people.

THE Press complains that the cover
nor has done wrong to a worthy cIas, of
people in vetoing bill intended to give
landlords, restaurant and boarding
house keepers lien not only on the
baggage of their boarders, as they now
have, but on all their property. 1t
strikes us that the governor did right.
The lien on the baggage is all that this
class of creditors are entitled to. They
can and usually do ask from strangers
without baggage pay in advance, and
necessity will compel the boarder to
provide first for his landlord. 1t is
doubtful whether boarding house pro
prietors lose larger share of money
owing them than any other class of
creditors certainly they need no
further special protection of the law.
