the primaries Of the parties as now con-
stituted. Then good men could be selected,
and the machinery for their election would be
at hand. And then the party could be held
accountable for the things it might do In
the end the affairs of government must be
confded to organized parties, for no other
kind can hope to succeed, or, at best, only
spasmodcally, so that the result would ever
be unsatisfactory and uncertain. Let the
best men of the country do their duty with
the parties as now organized and there will
be little room for complaint Of bad govern
ment. Political perfection would not ensue,
but there would be an improvement. There
are bad men in all organizations, religious as
well as secular, and the only way to keep them
in check is to look after them. The evils that
creep into political parties get there through
the neglect of the people to take interest in
them.

THE oleomargarine bill passed the House of
Representatives yesterday, by a vote of LIT to
101, after the modification of the proposed
tax to FIVE cents instead Of eight cents a
pound. The Indiana members all voted for
the bill except Cobb Browne and Ford, who
are recorded in the negative, and Owen, who
was absent. An amendment was rejected to
exempt oleo manufacturers from the tax if
they sold their product under its name in
the open markets The bill will not be likely
to get through the Senate as easily as it
passed the House.

One thousand of the leading citizens of
New York have called meeting to 'rebuke

effort to secure good government for the city,"
This is a very commendable thing, but whether
1t is practical is another question entirely. If
these gentlemen do not succeed any better
than the very respectable mugwumps did
there will be very little encouragement in it.

A YOUNG Girl at Dedham. NJ

A YOUNG girl at Dedham, Mass, mysteri-
ously disappeared few nights ago, since
can any trace of her be found. The last seen
of her she had started to make a short cut
through graveyard. Two centuries ago such
disappearance would have been ascribed to
supernatural causes, and more than likely
some poor wretch would have been held as a
witch and been burned at the stake for it.
At present the authorities are trying to dis
cover who did it, and expect to connect some
man with il.

THE State Board of Health, at its meeting
creation, and continue to keep an eye upon
the State-house plumbing, and whenever in
its opinion it is defective to call the atten-
ton of the Commissioners to the defects. The
board also instructed its secretary to reply to
the recent letter Of one of the Commissioners
and repeat the statement that, in the
presence of several members of the board,
the said Commissioner had acknowledged that
several changes in the details of the plumbin g
had been made in consonance with the report
of Mr. John G. Dunn. The people and tax
payers of the State are interested only in the
best possible work in the new Capitol; they
care nothing for quarrel between individ-
uals or controversy between boards, and
they will stand by the, Board of
Health, which is directly charged by
law with the work it has done in
. connection with this plumbing matter. The
health officers have acted strictly within the
limits of the statute defining their duties, and
the good result of their labors is manifested
in the changes and notifications already
brought about. The State-house Commission
ers should be glad to have the advantage of the
judgment and expert knowledge of the Board
of Health, if they are anxious only to make
the new building as perfect as possible. There
should be corporation, and not discussion
between these two bodies if both of them are
actuated by unselfish and disinterested mo-

THREE young men from New York city have
had desperate experience in being blown to
sea in an open boat. 1t seems almost incredi-

count, as their appearance confirmed their

up at sea three days later in an exhausted
condition. They were out in boat, near
Fort Hamilton, below the city, when a squall
struck their craft and they were CARRIED into
the lower bay. All the time they were MAX

devoted attentions or whether the lovers

However that may be, q yawning gulf now

young woman by the name OF Phipps.
They lived together but q few weeks

the Morey woman had concealed his wife
underneath her bed, he visited the house
about g o'clock this morning and going in
discovered his wife. He asked her If she
was going to live with him again, and she
replied that he had treated her SO meanly
she could not do SO. Bishop drew pistol

Mr.. Morrison has stated to the House
that be will not to-day make q motion to
on into Committes Of the Whole ON the
Tar bill. Mr.. Morrison called up the
proposed change Of rules, making it in order
TO amend the Gener Pension bill, by add
inq a provision for the imposition Of q tax
to meet the expenditures rquired by the
bill. An interes, ing debate fuIlowed.
The Speaker laid before the House nine
me-. ages from the President, announcing
bis disapprovai OF ike number Of Pension
bills. and they were referred to tho Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions. Several
Of the Presidents terse sentences
and ironical suggestions we're greeted
with applause and laughter On
motion OF Mr.. Scott, OF Pennsylvania
the Senate bill was PASSED granting tht
right VI way to railroad companies through
the Indian reservations in Northern Mon
tana. NJ. Mat-or, of Indiana, from the
C.mmittee o. Invalid Pensions, reported
back the resolution calling on the Secre-
tsry OF the Interior for Information as to
the number OF pensioners now drawing orig
iual pensions from tho Government by
reason OF special pension acts, and ss t.,
the amount Of money required annually to |
meet the obligations incurred by the Gov.
ernment to this class ofpeDsiOEs. Adopted |
In advocating the proposition Mr.. Nor
sison argued it's adoption was absolutely |
necessary unless Congress was prepared to
grant pensions and leave the Government
without the means to pay them. He re-
ferred to the immense sums paid out for
pensions and the large amounts necessary
tor the present and future requirements and
said that the gentleman from New York,
{Mr. Hiscock) and other gentlemen, had
predicted that for the next fiscal year there
would be deficit OF $14, 100000. For
himself he thought there would be surplus
but certainly no surplus to compare with
the large number OF pensions asked.
After long debate Mr.. Reed moved as
a substitute to lay the resolution on the
table; the yeas and noes were ordered and
it resulted in the defeat of Mr.. Reeds sub.
stitute yeas 1875, nays 139. Before the
vote could be taken on the original motion
Mr.. Reed moved to adjourn and the Re-
publicans BY dilatory tactics managed to
consume the time up to o'clock when
under standing order the House
adjourned amid an outburst of ap-
pause and derisive laughter from the
Republicans.
