Oyster eaters will be glad to learn that
according to the London Lance, lemon
juice not only improves the flavor of the
raw bivalves, but destroys possibly hurt
full animalcules that infest the stomach
OF the oyster. The Lancet concludes that
oysters should either be cooked when
eaten or treated with lemon Juice to ward
off the evil consequences of parasiticism.

We entirely agree with the Deiatoarean
in its opposition to the idea of Govern
ment monopoly of the telegraphic sys.
tenn, and we are both pleased and sur
prised to find the Deiawarean for once
fully awake to the dsmnable nature OF
the spoils system of politics. 1t sounds
little queer, however, to find our
Dover contemporary acknowledging
that sin every department the
"whole service would be prostituted
"for political purposes and party fealty
"would be the only consideration for place
"and employment, and merit and capacity
"would be ignored" Here ia very accu-
rate picture of ths evils of the spoils
system, but the very paper that limns it
not only denounced the Civil
Service reform bill of Mr.. Pendle-
ton as impracticable, but unblush-
| ingly declared its belief in the
maxim that to the victors belong
the spoils, and its anxiety that nothing
should interfere with the rigid applioa.
tiou OF that rule when its own party shall
have attained the upper hand in the
Federal government. Perhaps the Deia.
oa,ean did not then have its present cleal
conception of the SYSTEMS evils. We o.
not care to believe that it advocated any
thing it knew to be so vile.

The Philadelphia Times is cer-
tainly the most enterprising and
probably the most successful news
paper in the United States. On the
18th Instant the Times celebrated its
eighth anniversary by issuing fve
distinct papers OF the usual size max
ing altogether about fifty-fve square
feet of printed matter the one half
of which was reading on varied but
mostly interesting subjects, while the
other was filled with fine display ad.
vertising Of the lea ding business
houses of Philadelphia, The Times
is big paper and as good as big
there's no rubbing out these facts ;
out that is not saying that it is alb
solutely infallible in its views OF
public men and measures. Even
country editors will sometimes take
the liberty to differ most decidedly
even with the Times.

The Work Of Reform,

No legislature has assembled since
the adoption of the new constitution
which has accomplished as much in the
same space of time ps the BODY now in
session. Furthermore it is to be said
that more legislation of an important
character is under consideration in the
present legislature than was ever found
on the files of any of its predecessors.
For the first time since the constitu-
tion Of 1873 became the fundamental
law Of the state has any effort been
made by tie legislature TO enforce 10y
appropriate legislation the provisions OF
that instrument on the sui ject # dis
elimination in charges of carrying CON-
panies. For the first time in many
years have the nstitu tions which are
supported by the states bounty been
required to give an account of their ex-
penditures before their appropriations
were renewed. For the arst time, too,
in the history of modern legislatures
have useless offices been abolished and
the number of officials reduced.
While the legislature is entitled to
great credit for this work. and for the
origination of some of it, to the sug-
gestions of Governor Pattison's inau-
gural address and special message much
of II is certainly due.i l1he predictions
SO freely made by certain newspapers
that. the governor and the legislature
would not act in harmony have been
thoroughly disrroved by the logic OF
events. In the accomplishment Of the
reforms for which this: Legislature will
be distinguished the executive and leg
islative departments have worked to-
gether without the ..remotest sign Of
discord. This is as it should be and
both the legislature and the governor
will be applauded for it.-Pdtriot.

Judge Dean on Licenses.

OF onshundred and seventy three ap-
plications for liquor license before the
courts of Cambria county eighty were
refused. In refusing them Judge Dean
stated his reasons, in part, as follows
Taking the applications and the pop
ulation of the county, to grant all
would make one drinking place for "a
bout everytwo hundred and sixty-four
inhabitants of the county, including
men womsn and children. Assuming
that none but men drink, we deduct
four-fifths, leaving drinking place for
every SO men. Assuming that only
one half the men drink, leaves one
drinking place for every 2S men over q
years of age. We doubt if another
county in the state shows so large pro-
portion as this. 1t is too many tayerns
for the population"
