Taught His Duty.

a young wife in Brooklyn, n. y, taught
her recalcitrant lord in very effective
fashion that it was his duty To help mind the
baby. Two women rang the door-bell OF a
prominent citizens residence, and when
tho door was opened by the father Of the
family laid bundle upon the walk. ''This
is your sons child" they said ~ they walked
away. Tho bundle contained six-months-
old girl baby. The gentleman took the
child into the house, and then went and re
ported the matter to the police. He thought
that some malicious persons were adopting
desperate tactics to make trouble for his son
Next day, however, the son notified tho
police they would keep the baby. at il

From the Philadelphia Record
The bill to prohibit the manufacture of
oleomargarine is making progress through
the legislature. When the bill is passed, in
obedience to the spirit of dcmagogy the fac
tories in Pennsylvania will go on manufa
turing oleomargarinc the same as before. If
this product is not fraudulently put upon the
markets for butter the legislature has no
power to interfere with its manufacture.
Oleomargarine may be very useful for axle
grease and for many other purposes besides
consumption for butter; but this measure to
prohibit It's manufacture is proposed as
cowardly evasion of the duty of the legisla-
ture to pass effective laws TO prohibit and
prevent fraudulent food adulterations. The
farmers as well as consumers of Pennsylya-
mia have right to protection against the in
Vulnerable frauds that are passed of for but
ter, but this is the kind of legislation which
is not enacted. Statutes upon statutes for
Furnishing food adulterations have been piled
up from year to year, but care has been taken
to mako them utterly Ineffective These
frauds arc incroasingin number ana variety,
but prosecution of offenders is unheard Of
Tor the SIMPLE reason that no effective means
is provided in the law for their detection A
numerous police force is organized and main-
tanned To protect the lives and property of
citizens nom assas.ins and burglars, but no
police force is organized to guard the health
ana pockets OF the people against the aduL
terations Of their food ana drink.

Lon Them OF.

In defense of the lavish scale upon which
his committee has laid out the state appro-
priations for the coming year, Representa-
tive Snodgrass, of the committee of the
House on appropriations, points to the fact
that there is two million dollars of surplus
at present in the state treasury to make up
for any deficiencies that may occur.
This is the objective point of the plum
derers. The money is in sight, and all
kind of jobs are projected to get at it. The
charity" swindles are chief among
them. The governor will do well to
put his hatchet to them all. He must
needs do better than in his veto
message of two years ago if he
means to command the respect of the state
for intelligent discrimination among them
He then wired in and wired out, and left
some stand, which to be consistent II,
should have vetoed. Let him lay on this
year without fear, favor or affection. II,
may be overruled or Overridden, but tn,
legislature will suffer thereby and not he.

THE discussion of the license question in
the legislature has opened the eyes of Phila-
delphians to the number of saloons that adorn
the Quaker City. 1t is found that there are
in the city 5,995 saloons, 3,37 retail groceries
and 1864 bakeries. This gives one saloon to
every 30 one grocery to every 521l, and one
bakery to every l6415 voters. After the tenn
perance instruction act is in force and all the
little children of the commonwealth become
scientifically acquainted with the effects of
alcohol on the human system, it is appalling
to think of the vast increase i'm the number
of saloons that will follow.

CRIBBING 4" At COLLEG n.

shifts by Which Some Fellows Contri,e 10
Pass Their Examinations.
From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
"Yes," said gentleman, the other day,
"the fashion of buying papers has died out
at Cambridge: or, rather, to put it more cor
rectly, il has been made practically impossi-
BILE. In my time ten or twenty fellows
would get together and putting in $40 or SO
apiece, according to the number clubbing
together, would raise 300, and then give this
sum to a certain man-whom there is no use
mentioning, as hc may he i'm Cambridge now,
for all | know--and he would in some way
secure all the proof-sheet of the examination
papers "a few days before an examination.
OF course this was done very seldom, not
more than two or three papers a year being
bought. There was no particular sentiment
attached to the buying of a paper; nor was
it considered dshonorable, except in cases
where man was trying for rank, which
would, OF course, mt once have made the at

to the rest of the class If some poor devil,

cases. Once a man who was taking an ex'

mischance no red one. In another case pro

ROach's Boat.

John Roach has bad luck with his boat
the Dolphin, which he built for the govern
ment under the administration of Naval
Secretary Chandler and for which he got
nearly all the contract money before he had
completed the vessel according to the terms
of his undertaking. When Mr.. Whitney
came in he found that the price was paid
almost in full, but the record itself showed
that the engines of the vessel had not devel-
oped the required horse power. The board
appointed to test them reported that
this failure was due to the quality of
coal used upon which Mr.. Whitney adop-
ted the obviously proper course of ordering
? new test under proper conditions. This
test has resulted in developing the speed
and power of the contracts requirements,
but in obtaining these some of the vessels
machinery gave way.
Mr.. Roach thinks this is of no conse-
quonce, but the secretary of the navy in
sists upon trial that will prove the vessel
up to all requirements.
Considering that Chandler was Roach's
own particular secretary of the navy, and
paid him most Of the Dolphin money
before 1t was due and when it was not yet
shown to have been earned, il can hardly
be said that Mr.. Whitney is unreason-
able. Public work must needs be up to
the specifications. Departures are danger
Gus and concessions from the contract are
suspicious. Mr.. Roach has heretofore been
too intimate and too influential with the
naval department. He is one of the kind
who must be held TO the letter of the bond

traveller recently returned from the Fiji
Islands, and who brought with him tho skull
and bones OF a missionary friend as curios,
declares that the Fijians would again become
cannibals if they had the opportunity. Even
now, he says, one cannot go into the interior
of the island with safety. The government
forbids people to go into the mountains for
fear they will get baked and eaten. All the
clothes the natives wear is a loin cloth, and
the government encourages the chiefs in not
introducing civilized clothing. The women,
though, have some modesty, as is shown by
the fact that only recently eight of them were
sentenced by tho Roko, for some oilense, to
go nude for four months. There is very
little education among the masses, but the
missionaries have established few schools
for children.

prom the Philadelphia Record.
The preposterous bill authorizing the
county commissioners of each county in the
state to appoint sufficient number of suit
able persons in each township and ward to
bury INDECENT soldiers at the rate of S35 apiece
and to buy hoadstones for them at the rate of
Sl5 apiece, was properly vetoed by the gov
ernor, doubtless much to the dismay of the
suitable persons. But the still more prepos-
ferrous legislature has passed tho bill over
tho head of the governor, and ii stands
on the statute-bOok ridiculous dead
letter. The "suitablo persOn"-who will,
of course be an undertaken and a
gravcstone-makor-are not 10 bc paid for
their trouble. Think of that ! an undertaken
and gravestone man doing business in their
line without pay! And the corpse oi the
poor soldier must wait until the Suitable
persons" can make proof of his identity and
his service-judging by the time il takes in
the pension office, a two or three years job
before there can be a legitimate S35 burial or
lawful Sl5 headstone! The army of sssuitable
persons" if only two are appointed in each
ward and township, will run up 10 a total Of
over 5000, and the commissioners, i'm burst
of patriotic zeal, may appoint ten persons in
stead of two if there is any suspicion of glory
or money in it. Indeed, indeed, the sham
loyalty that induced department of the
federal government, once upon time, to go
into the headstone business still survives to
look after the bones of our soldiers and to
make profit out of il.

Present To the Capital.
The reduced copy Of Bartholdi's statue OF
'Iiberty Enlightening the World" was on
Wednesday formally presented by the Amer
lean residents Of the French capital TO tho
municipality of Paris: The ceremonies
took place ON the site of the statue, in the
Place des Etats Un,s.
The Hon. Levi L. Morton, ex-United States
minister TO France, made tho speech of pre-
sentatioD. He said he hoped tho gift would
help perpetuate the friendship between tho
two nations, which tho changing events of
century had only strengthened.
Premier BrissOn thanked tho American
committee for the gift and dwelt upon the
reciprocal friendship between France and
America, which, he said, like the Bartholdi
statue, illuminates not menaces the world
Referring to the energy Of the Americans IN
the war OF secession, NJ Brsson said "Bit
there Is no longer u question Of war. In
future peace, liberty and justice between
nations constitute the goal toward which wv,
| nations going hand in hand should march,
| He concluded by expressing regret at Mr.

heartily applaudod.
Mr.. Bone, president of the municipa

and the United States, recalling various evi
dences of the friendships uniting the tw
peoples. NJ. do Freycinet, the foreign minis
