The Legislature and Local On
tiOn.
MR.. EDITOR The Legislature tbot
| VIII convene in January will no dnub,
ne called upon to consider the question
OF allowing communities the PRIVILEGE
OF deciding for themselves whether or
not a deadly poison may be placed in
easy access of the tCnder-mindpd voutb
ana weak minded adults. who. when
Ielled by It's unerring blow, Law claim
TO the support of said communities and
as long as their shattered lives last
thelr names are enrolled upon the list
of the benevolent societies as obiects of
charity and monuments of warninD
Is not the request a reasonable one {?
Philadelphia Is at this time agitatino
the question of driving from general
use the impure Schuylkill wafer
which II claims is poisoning the svs-
TENS OF those who are forced to use II
DO amy question their right upon the
subject? Othcr cities are endenVorinc
TO eliminate from their midst cess
pools, that breed as well as invite CON
tagiOn, that endangcr the health of the
community. Can anyone question
their right to do so? We think not
Tor does not the law and equity confer
the option on the citizens of doing
whatever the majority may deem wise
IN their Judgment to subserve the best
interest of country, State or commu-
nlty. What argument then can be ad-
Vanced to support the views of the leg
lslatlve men, to whom the people have
delegated for time the power to leg
lslate in their behalf, who hesitate or
dare deny the right of each and every
to decide for themselves
whether or not rum shall be sold in
their midst There can be no reason
advanced except perhaps the narrow
partisan views of its political effect.
But we do not propose at this time to |
argue the question we fail to see that |
II Will admit of argument, for if re- |
puollcan form OF government means |
anything, II means the will of the !
majority shall be the law of the land. !
with the right of petition always guar
Anteed. by way Of parenthesis we
Will say that if this Legislature shall
TAIL to do its duty the people will elect
next time Legislature that will. The

Veness; party ties set very loosely
wen upon the shoulders of partisans.
No great national issues now divide
he parties not even the tariff ques-
ion. Gen. Hancock spoke truthfully.
I unwisely, when he said, "the oues-
ion is a local one" The paramount
question now is honest governments
administered in the interest of the peO-
lie and the people will demand of the
ncoming legislature the right to pro-
ect their homes and fresdes from the
emon rum. The incoming admins
ration will no doubt spend millions i'm
ullding IA navy to protect our coasts
gainst an imaginary foe, but here we
ave real foe, who at this time has its l
RIP on the thrOats of many of our best
nj brightest men. Wives entreat
on mothers implore you; the wrecks
on daily meet admonish you; and |
'rewarn you if you would continue q
ne Democratic party in power to give {
eed to the petitions that will besiepe

any time. But, above all, we should
make ourselves conyersant with those
little, parliamentary rules which must
govern the conduct of the parent in his
or her social contact with the child. A
few suggestions upon what constitutes
and shows good breeding in this branch
of society, readily marking and con-
