Improve Public Sentiment.

Some of the astute members of the
legislature, who have probably not learned
the rudiments of our political system, pro-
pose to improve the public roads of the
state by establishing state supervisor for
them. They do not seem to recognize that
the condition of the public roads is a matter
very properly lodged with the townships,
the units in our plan of government.
The truth of the matter is that he con-
dition of the public roads is determined
entirely by public sentiment. Where that
is progressive, intelligent and liberal, men
of this character are elected supervisors
and they make good roads. Where popu-
lar sentiment is illiberal and ill-directed il
it will not justify the selection of good
annoyance and Indirect loss which they
occasion, are the result.
The Philadelphia Times very properly
points out Montgomery county as an illus
tration of how good roads can be secured
by an improved public sentiment without
any change in the road laws. There the
people have good roads because they elect
good supervisors and are willing to pay the
cost of them. Where it is Otherwise-as
here in Lancaster county-the roads are
generally bad, the tax low and the money
is misspent.
1t is very much with the roads as it is
with the liquor business. 1t is not so much
new laws that are needed as better admin
istration. In some counties not one-lilth
as many tayerns TO the population are IL
censed as in others and in some no licenses
are granted. There is no difference in the
laws governing these different communities.
The difference is in the people. They can
have pretty nearly what they want. This
is one of the advantages, OF disadvantages,
of popular self-government

The PHILADELPHIA Districts.

The Republicansta talk very condescendingly
about the generosity of their party in max
ing or leaving a Democratic congressional
district in Philadelphia for Mr.. Randall ''
We fancy they are not doing such gener-
Gus thing rs some Of them seem to imagine ;
certainly they are putting Mr.. Randall and
his party under no particular obligation.
Mr.. Randall's district has been Demo
cratic for forty years and in all the poSsi-
BILE changes of district boundaries in Phil
adelphia there is likely to remain at least
one Democratic district. There are in
round numbers 10000 Democratic votes in
that city TO 100000 Republicans and, rs
Philadelphia is essentially Il federal city,
under Democratic administration the dis
proportion will not I've So great.
When the Republicans group the Demo
cratic maiorities into one Congressional
district they can make the others reason.
ably safe; should they undertake to divide
their uncertain majority among six dis.
tricts they run the chance of making two
or three of them doubtful.
They are more anxious to avoid this than
to accommodate Mr.. Randall; and they
might rs well tell the truth about il.

Knotty Legislative Questions.

The legislature is wrestling with the dis
elimination question, the overhead wire
question and many other matters of weighty
concern, including the distribution of the
states charity fund TO favored asylums.
There can be no doubt that the legislature
has plenty of heavy work on hand. We
hope it will be equal. to il when il gets back
from Washington.
The most important matter is that rela-
ting to discrimination in railroad charges,
but it is one which the legislature
is least able to handle successfully. 1t
can provide penalties for the infraction of
the constitution, however, which it is its
clear duty to do, as it has been for ten years
past. This is a simple duty which it should
not overtax the legislative strength to per
form, if ii is not under railroad bondage.
The overhead wire question is another
one that should not lie hard to decide. The
telegraph companies strenuously claim that
underground wires can not yet he advan-
tageously laid. But it is not disputed that
they can be put down in some shape, and
it is believed TO be simply question of
cost as TO how efficient they can he
made. There are people who are interested
in underground conduits who are taking
the most active interest in compelling the
telegraph companies to adopt them. With
these private interests the public has no
concern, but it is much concerned that the
overhead wires shall he abolished
Probably the most difficult question be-
fore the legislature is the disposition Of the
fund it votes for charity. Every section
that has a hospital or asylum, or Il home ol
even Kindergarten, goes for Il slice of the
state appropriation. 1t has come to be a
great evil that 50 great sums of
money are handed out TO beg
ging institutions that the state has no
connection with or responsibility for. The
legislature has an easy road of escape from
these opportunities if it will but avail itself
of it and declare that it will vote no appro-
priation to any institution that is not
wholly state institution. If individuals
want to be charitable it is well; but they
have no business to start charitable insti.
tuition and then impose ON the taxpayers
the cost of keeping it up.
When the legislature gets these matter,
happily settled and the apportionment bilL
passed, we will be glad to dismiss it with
our blessing.

Better PLAY Fair.

The General Assembly of Delaware is
now composed entirely of Democrats,
and despite the pledge of both party plat
forms in the late campaign, the bill pro-
viding for an increased representation of
Newcastle county has failed of passage by
q vote of fifteen yeas to six nays, hess than
the requisite three-fourths At present,
Kent and Sussex, the lower counties of the
state have each the same representation as
Newcastle, though it has more population
than both of them combined. This is un-
der the old Wing device of John NJ. Clay
ton, who, when he had locked the consti-
luton, threw away the key.
A senfe of justice and the largely in-
creased population, wealth and develop
ment of Newcastle impelled the Demo-
cratic majority OF the state TO yield to the
popular demand for reapportionment, and
it was fairly understood all around that
this pledge would he redeemed by the pres
ent legislature. The six Democrats who
have obstructed it have done themselves
mo- credit and their party no benefit.
In politics, as in other things, il pays to
be honest, it pays TO be fair; and though
Ihe profit of it is not the highest motive for
honesty IL is one that perhaps addresses
he average partisan cons ,icnce most d.
ectly and effectively.

The story Of famous painting in Phil,
adephia reveals the uses to which works OF
art may descend. Visitors TO Philadelphia
during the Centennial will recall the boauti-
ful curtain that hung in the Alhambra
theatre on Broad street and which was
painted for the Kiralfys by Gustave Dore for
10000 francs. 1t was The Sleeping Beauty
and its perfection has been the theme of
admiration for the best Of art critics. When
John 5. Clarke came into possession of the
theatre he was offered $1,000 for the curtain,
but his only answer was that II was not for
sale. Mr.. Clarke determined to have Dore
touch II up, and il was rolled up and locked
in his dressing room during his absence in
Europe. Manager Joseph u. Murphy saw
the canvas lying around the stage when he
leased the theatre in 1883, and ordered that it
be cut up 10 make flats. 1.-The Sleeping
Beauty" is now in sections and covered with
paint quarter of an inch deep. Had ii
been worthless work, the fates would have
been far kinder

said that it did not cost more per mile for
a short than for long haul, save III the
terminal charges, which We're about the
same in both cases, and, as they are divided
into the mileage, would increase the cost
of the shorter haul.
Legislation as to rates Should he based

charge per ton should I've allowed TO I've

FROM the ocean of dCrision that has been
poured on the head olthe sea-sorpent emerges
an advocate ol the same in the person of
Richard \. Proctor, the somewhat erratic
astronomer. He very graycly declares that
there are more things in the sea than are
dreamed of in our philosophy, which is a
very easy and very sage remark to make.
He further thinks i the part OF a fool to dis
believe entirely in sea-serpents, because cred
ulous navigatOrs have mistaken floating sea-
weed, a flight of birds in the distance, a shoal
of porpoises, or range OF hills beyond the
horizon for some sea-serpentine monster
Here again the professor is tuning on the
right key; for every man claiming to be in
telligeut should he open TO conviction on
every subject. But when he asks us to
believe on evidence of the most fragmentary
kind that there are sea-cFeatures whose prey
is found far below the surface and that move
rapidly on top of the water with no percep-
tible undulations, leaving the inference that
they have attached to themselves concealed
paddles, he is imposing too severe a strain on
our credulity. Mr.. Proctor is too able an
astronomer to succeed a. an advocate of sea-
serpentS. For the latter occupation all the
time Of most highly imaginative person is
required to master its MunchauSen-like
details.

TIE affirmative and negative of AN i'm
portant college controversy is briefly given
i'll another column in which Presidents Eliot
and McCosh, OF Harvard and Princeton
colleges, take up the literary cudgels respec-
lively for and against elective studies The
subject has been so often handled that it is
hard to say anything new about il, but the
debating presidents have stated some we'll
known facts in a now way, and thus have
measuraby thrown some light on a problem
that will require the illumination of expert
ence before it is finally solved. Despite what
Eliot says OF the admitted fact that every
young colegian has special facilities for
acquiring certain branches Of education, we
adhere to the beiici, often heretofore expressed,
that special development rs youth in any
one direction produces "A one-sided student,
who lacks sympathy with all education out
side the bent his own has taken College
education is at best only prepara-
tory and disciplinary, and that col
lege furnishes the best education
which gives the broadest general culture
that will fit its recipient for any of the thou
sand emergencies of life. TO look upon it Az
utilitarian, simply, is a gross error. The
combined wisdom of the past has been
against elective studies; and though that in
itself il no conclusive argument against
them with intelligent men, it should cause
those who would tear down to take heed lest
they find that which they propose building
