"oUR yEVsuEY TO THE PUBLTCr

Under the above title, the newsdealers Of
Newark. N. j., announce step against winch
| we protest so far as II affects The TRIBUNE.
They met last week to consider the effect OF
| the Sweeping reduction OF the New York
| papersn on their business. Their interests
have been so persistently ignored by the
minority OF the New York morning papers of
late years, that they find themselves left with
only one on which they can make a
reasonable and satisfactory profit. The
TRIBUNE gives them now, as it has for twenty
years or more, one cent profit on every
copy they sell. Its the only New York morn.
ing paper tnat does SO. One of its contempt
raries, The Sun, gives them two-t&rds of a
cent; The Herald, Times and World, under the
reduced rates. give them half cent The Morn
ina Journal and Truth give less than That.
The Newark newsdealers resolved, in view of
these facts, to tax the public the extra cent
that has been taken off the retail price by the
New York papers, somewhat on the principle
of the coffee and tea merchants abroad, who.
with far less reaSon, when the United Stat es
abolished the duty, put it Oh again themselves
and pocketed the money. The Newark men
say the extremely small profit compeis them
to take this step. They hope that generous
public will not look upon them in the Hight OF
monopolists, and they remain the puRlic's ODE
dent servants.
The public has no more faithful, laborious,
and deserving servants than the newsdealers.
They are men of small capital, engaged in
credltable business, and trying to make an
honest living ut it, They rise long before
daylight, they undergo much hardship and
discomfort in bringing up their papers
from the news offices, folding sorting
and marking them, and distributing them in
all sorts OF weather to different points within
a radius of half mile of their stands. The
majority of the active men in this city will
handle about 500 morning papers n day. the
profit on which IL about 81 70. From this
small sum must be deducted the pay of the
carrier boys, car fares, extra breakfasts bought
while waiting for their papers, losses on UNI
sold copies, losses from bad subscribers,
rent of stands USUALLY about dollar
a day., and other expenses. The net result
il usually profit Of 81 to 81 so a day. Were
it not for the sale Of evening papers, cigars,
story books, or whatever else they have room
for on the stands they could not make liv-
ing. As 1t is, their pay does not usually ex-
coed that of unskied labor in this city. We
risk little in saying that there Is no class OF
men of whom so much is required by the public,

THE NdTIONAL SURPLUs.

Another call for bonds suggests most i'm
portant question. During the five years.
1885, 1891 inclusive what is to be done with
the surplus revenues There are now only
1905, 100000 of bonds that can be redeemed
prior to September /, 1891. Within three
years at most, il is probable, those will be re-
deemed. The natural increase of the revenue
under existing laws. il the country is prosper
ous will be in the neighborhood of $40, 000, 900
yearly, and the redemption of SO %, 100000 of
three per cents will take 50, 900, 900 from the
yearly expenses, so that surplus $50, 600, 900
or $4,000, 900 larger than we now have may
be expected by the fiscal year, 1887. That the
new Congress will not make important changes
in the tariff or revenue laws IL well-nigh GER
tain. in view of its political balance. Political
interests and the Presidential veto will probably
prevent any wasteful increase of expenditure.
The next Congress, Mt its frat session, which
will commence in December, 1885, will have to
make provision for the fiscal year 1867, with
probable surplus revenue of $50, 100000 10
5000, 100000. The duty will be an en-
barrassing one, unless tho subject shall ixft

POISONING gy CANNED MEATS

Now and then--altogetIler too frequently
n news item announces that some individual
or family has been poisoned by eating canned
meat or vegetables At the same time COM
plants appear in the foreign press that the
quality OF American canned food products Is
detcriorating, and charges are made that
refuse, stale and lnwhoesome articles are
employed 10y the canneries Now, as it is not
desirable that American citizens should be
poisoned. nor that American trade should he
injured. manufacturers aud exchanges would
do well to look into the matter, ascertain
where the trouble lies, and remedy it.
The canned goods industry. has assumed
enormous proportions. Almost all kinds OF
meat fish, fowl, fruit, vegetables, soups, pud-
dings, etc, are presented to the housekeeper
in this form, and tens of thousands OF per-
sons and many millions of dollars are en-
ployed IN the business of packing them But
the whole enterprise is based upon public
confidence in the purity and wholesomeness
of the articles thus prepared. Ii will not take
many more cases Of poisoning to destroy that
confidence. Let manufacturers be wise in
time, and see TO it that there be no more
death in the can.

Mount Etnh,s Ernntions.
PhilddeEphia Neqos.

About sixty eruptiOns Of Mount Etna
are recorded, the most notable within the
last hundred years being those of 1892
1911, 1919 and 1882. The first of these con-
tinued an entire year. During the last
one mentioned there opened on the sides
of the mountain many flaming mouths in
the midst of tremendous explosions and
commissions, prodigious discharges of
ashes, cinders and lava, which Overran
miles of cultivated fields, and threatened
the town of BrOn with ruin. The river of
lava was then twenty miles long, over
mile wide and forty feet deep. The lava,
which in 1869 Overtopped the walls of
Catania, may still be seen coiling over
their summit like a frozen torrent. On
that occasion much of the city and
$4,000 of its inhabitants were DESTROYED.
The earliest eruption mentioned in history
was 476 years before the Christian era.
Four years later vast volume of water
is reported to have rushed down themOun-
tain side. 1t was supposed to have come
from the crater, showing, apparently, the
connection between the volcano and the
sea. a great eruption occurred in 1852,
when mi ghty clouds of aSh-gray dust were
expelled, covering the whole surrounding
country. From two mouths ON the east
ern flank issued torrents of lava, one mOV-
ing toward Zatfarana, the other toward
Clara. One stream was two miles broad
in some places 10 feet deep, flowed 600
feet in an hour ordinarily, but when tap
preached abrupt cliffs it dashed over like
fiery cascade. The summit of Etna,
being above the line of vegetation, pre-
sents, unless covered with snow, melan-
chOly waste of lava, ashes, lapilli and
scOri9, from the centre of which in a de-
ISOLATE plane, ascends the principal cone.
Around the base of the mountain is a pro-
ductive region of corn, olives, grapes and
fruits, from three to eleven miles broad.
The eruptions of Etna are frequent and
imposing.

ber-haye been under police surveillance
only so far as regards dealing square
games. No brace houses have been al
lowed to he opened and there has been no
attempt made to run other than square
games. The city authorities have also
derived a revenue of $50 per month from
each house, which was collected through
the Police Court, the amount in every
instance having been put up by the
proprietors and forfeited to the city
by their non-appearance No attempt
has been made by any of the officials,
either of the State or taxing district, to
blackmail gamblers. They were equally
protected with those who played against
them. Every order of the officers of the
law IN regulating games has been promptly
complied with, and this policy on the part
OF the officials has in a measure kept the
subject in the background. The freedom
that was enjoyed by the professionals was,
perhaps, never thoroughly understood by
the public at large. The result of the
new law will be to close up the houses
and cause an emigration of those follow
ing the profession. 1t is hardly probable
that any attempt will be made to thwart
the operation of the act. The exact time
for the law to go into effect is not known
here and all the houses are open tonight
as usual.
