BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.

When 1t comes to asking municipal re-
forms at the hands OF the next legislature
there is one matter that ought not to be
overlooked. That is the necessity for
change in respect to our municipal elections.
The plan of holding annual elections for
municipal officers ought to be abolished and
the biennial plan substituted. Whether
one look at it in the light of the good re-
suits that are to be obtained from it or from
an economic standpoint it must be apparent
to every rejecting person that municipal
election once in two years is often enough.
Elections are expensive and the annual
plan is an inexcusable extravaganza. A
change to the biennial plan would not ne
cessitate any change in the length of terms
of the city officials unless it would be the
aldermen and the school inspectors. If it
was desirable to retain the system of elect
ing one-half the council and one-half of the
school board at each election, then it would
be necessary to extend the terms of those
officers from two to four years. Under the
present plan of holding an election every
spring, the voters manifest but little inter-
est in the election of municipal officers.
especially Oh the off years when there is no
mayoralty contest. If the election of alder
men and school inspectors took place at the
same time that mayor and full set of
municipal officers were to be elected. there
would be more interest manifested in the
matter. A change to the biennial system
of municipal elections would be beneficial
in every aspect we view it, and the RAM
sey county members of the legislature ought
to give it their attention.

HENRY GEORGES THEORIES.

Archbishop COrrigan Denounces
Them as Fallacious and Mis-.
leading.
New YORK, Nov. 90. Archbishop Cor
rigan, in his pastoral letter to be read In all
the churches of this diocese to- morrow, has
this to say in regard to Henry Georges land
theories:
Undoubtedly God made the earth for the
use OF mankind, but whether the possession
thereof was to be in common or by individual
ownership. was left for reason TO determine.
Such deter mination, judging from the facts
of history, the sanction of the law, from the
teaching of the wisest and the actions of the
best and bravest OF mankind, has been and
u.s. that man can by lawful acts become DOS
sessed of the right of ownership in property
and not merely in it's USE The
reason is because man is
strictly entitled to thar of
which he is the producing cause 10 the i'm
prOvement he brings ABOUT in it, and the en-
JOY nent of both. But it is clear that In 8
farm. for instance, which one has by patient
toll improved In value; in a block of marble
out OF which one has chiseled a perfect
statue, be cannot fully enjoy the improve
ment which he has caused unless be has also
the right to own the object thus improved.
He has strict right, and evil are
the laws and systems which ignore
lt-ether to ownership and enjoyment
Or full compensation for the improvement
which is his. To strive to base all argument
against ownership in land by reaso ming on
the universal distribution of air and light is
only freak of the imagination. Once deny
the right OF ownership and you SOW the seed
of stagnation in human enterprise. Who
would burrow the ground to draw forth it's
buried treasures if the very mine he was
working was at the mercy OF the passer-by,
whom its riches might attract. Who would
watch with eagefneSS the SEASON
when to sow and reap and gather
the harvest, which is the very
fruit Of his labors, if he IL
told that those who stand by the wayside idle
are equally entitled to its enjoyment? True
indeed, in many painful instances the righta
of the tOiler are trampled upon and the
fruits Of his labor snatched from his grasp
True this is done too frequently with the
concurrence. or at least the connivance OF
the law. This is the evil that needs redress
but such redress can never be brought abou,
by denying fundamental right or by perpe
trating radical wrong.

THE MATTER Kissing.

A learned Brooklyn judge, who has evil
IDENTIFY not forgotten the day when he, too,
was young and not disposed to turn an ada
mantine front to feminine attractiveness.
has given young man accused of the helm
GUS crime of stealing kiss from pretty
girl nominal fine and salutary lecture.
The judge, with fine appreciation of human
nature. points out the incOntrovertible fact
that there is no harm in kissing girl,
pretty or otherwise, if she is willing. but
that consent is an essential prerequisite be-
fore the longed-for kiss can be legally OBJ
tanned.
He further asserts that the kiss must not
be obtained through force of arms, though
doubtless with youthful "reminiscences
crOWding his mind he would be
quite willing to admit that force
of arms. if the pressure is intelligently
regulated, adds in degree to the enjoy
ment of the purloined kiss. His honor
then oracularly remarks that the maid has
a right to object if she wants to, and that
unless she is willing she must not be kissed
He negleets, however to indicate the pre-
else means of discovering her sentiment
upon the subject. unless indeed the daring
young man goes upon the supposition that
lips were made for kissing" and
young woman would accordingly be
extremely unreasonable IN Directing to
their being put to the natural and legiti-
mate use.
But if, desiring more definite assurance
of her willingness, the gallant should first
modeStly ask permission to imprint a chaste
salute upon her ruby lips, it is inconsistent
with all ideas of maidenly coyness to sup
pose that the youth would receive anything
but a refusal, and thus, should he fain be
content with that both would be grievously
disappointed. 1t would seem, then, that
recourse must be had to the good old
method. which has stood the test of count
less years.
In spite of the Brooklyn judges decision,
the young man who wants kiss will have
to make the best possible estimate of the
maiden's willingness, and then, taking the
kiss. stand the consequences, whatever
they may be. And where is the youth who
would not say, especially if st. Paul girl
were concerned, that the risk is well worth
taking?

ought to always be strong enough to temper
justice with mercy. but would society be
just to itself if it relaxed the rigor of the
penalty which an outraged law has imposed
upon these men. This is question
that must be considered carefully. Ii
society is satisfied with the demonstrated
power of the law To take their lives, then it
would be right to snow mercy to these mis-
guided people. Their earnestness in the
belief that they were right is conceded.
They were mostly foreigners and fugitives
from class tyrany on the other side of the
water. where force has ruled instead of
justice. They had moi yet learned to ap-
preciate the fact that the ballot takes the
place of the bayonet i'm this country. OF
course their ignorance is no justification or
even extenuation of their crime. 1t can
only be pleaded in mitigation CT punish
ment. If life Imprisonment will meet the
demands of justice as well as public ex-
ecution. then it would be better to let these
people go Hnhung.

ScoringLord Randy.

LONDON. Nov. 2O.-The Standard Bit
terly attacks Lord Randolph Churchill for
doing what he can to discredit the Con-
seIvatives. especially in casting imputations
on the property owning classes as distinct
from the working classes. 1t says:
If the unfortunate owners of property are
to be pulled BY Conservative finance ministers
as well as by the Radical ministers, the
prospect before them is gloomy indeed.
The Standard fears that Lord Randolph
has hitherto been judged with an excess Of
charity. The impression credited by his

their leader to take the needful steps to
disown in the name of the cabinet. the

nominated that he would run like Western

committee; that he didn't need any organiza-
ten, and that if Republicans let go of him TO
spit on the hands he would be clean out OF
their sight in a half second. 1 told Teller the
result reminded me of an Irish railroad man
with whom was talking in Chicago about

to fifty miles an hour. My Irishman insisted
that this was not fast. 'Faix, SIR he said,

My brother was stepping on the train one day
