in jury service in our state The free
holders committee on Judiciary has appoint
ed Freeholder Lawson as subcommittee
Of one to call on the proprietor Of Taylor's
Hotel and see if some arrangement cannot
be made for having .juries boarded at uni
form rates The bill for the Disquc jury
amounted to 42tG and the Flood jury cost
SPA. The first jury had a bill of SO for
whislscy and about as much more for
cigars, the balance being for rooms and
meals. The Flood jury had $40 for rooms,
500. for meals, 81. 20 for cigars and 500
20 for whiskey. The committee did not
object to the amount Of the bill SO much as
the lack of fixed charge. Courts have
held that men who are drawn on juries are
entitled to the number Of drinks and cigars
which they are accustomed to while at
liberty, and the cigars and drinks are
always paid for by the county.

"Sai on Temperance ship in state,

Humanity with all its fears,
With al the hopes of future years,

We know what master laid thy keel.
What workman wrought thy ribs OF steel,
Who made each mast and sail and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,

'Tis of the wave and not the rock,

In spite of fjiISe lights on the shore,

The State Treasurer annual report is
mighty interesting reading. 1t gives the
dates of each payment from the Treasury
and the amount, and there is no escaping
the dead giye-away' OF the various items
For instance, nine members of the Assem-
bly, drew all or part of their salaries the
day after the Legislature organized last
year. A week later dozen Senator's and
Assemblymen and four or five officers came
in for advances. One page of the House
WAS peraistenty hard up. He drew $50
first, and at the close of the session had
used up his entire compensation. Only
about one-third of the legislators were suf-
ficiently sound financially TO trust the
State until the day of final adjournment
Twenty-nine clergymen received so each
for opening the legislative sessions with
prayer. The total expense Of the legisla-
tive session to the State was 314, 921 30, Of
which $40, 800 was for members salaries,
the remainder being for officers, stationery,
etc.

The whole city of Trenton rccks with
the moral stencil from the county court
house. There ought to be some way of
administering justice without the oh.
scene proceedings that have characterized
the Sliafcr trial. Nothing can be more de
moIaizing to the public than such scanda-
lons disclosures made III the sacred name
Of Justice. 1t does more harm to the cause
of public morals than would the escape Of
a hundred such offenders. At least one
of the witnesses, whose examination and
testimony caused quiyer of shame and
outrage to run through the audience, ought
10 have been examined in private: or, bet
ter still, not to have been examined at all.
The court ought to protect the public
morals against such harmful exhibitions. -
State Gazette.
Strictly true, and there ought to be some
way Of preventing newspapers which are
admitted into the decent homes of the land
as family papers, from printing the dis
gushing details Of such trials, as the Weekly
,etate Gazefte did last week. 1t made a
preten ,e Of suppressing part Of the tcsti-
mouy but we cannot imagine where it
drew the line, for the part it did print was
rcekino with nastiness. We suppose,
while the whole city Of Trenton rceks
with the moral stencil, the Gasehe
the other parts Of the State might
as well have their share.

a long interview with General Hazen,
Chief of the United States Weather Ser

cyclones, which if adopted by the govern
meut would save 81. O00, 900, worth Of prop
crty annually. He also explained his
method of foretelling the weather by which
predictions can be made thirty days in adj

the present system predictions can only be
made three days in advance. Professor

to the President and Secretary Of War En-

In each eleven years there has been more
paid for such drink than the average value
of the annual products Of all farms and all
mechanical and manufacturing industries
in the nation. In seven years our people
have spent as much for such drinks as was
invested in 1880 in the 1891 miles of rail
road then III operation III the United States.
Can we reasonably expect anything but
''hard times, money panics and business
deprcssions while the people are wasting so
large part of their earnings in this way
Some may say they do not see how this is
all wasted, for what one man pays another
receives. True: but what does the drinker
get Tor his money? Aye, nothing; yes.
worse than nothing: for the lessening of
the capacity to earn, which it causes, is
frequently Il greater loss than the price
paid for the liquor, but it is safe to say that
every drinker of Intoxicating liquors in the
United States would be better off if every
cent expended for it had been thrown in
the ocean and the liquor not been drunk. =
