Fnrepaughs circus exhibited in this city
Saturday afternoon and evening, and it
must be said that the performance
was not mp to the showman's eff
forts of previous years, The parade was
of good length and the horses and dozen
elephants looked well but there were no
features of particular interest attached to
1t. The afternoon performance was wit
messed by an immense crowd, many being
obliged to sit on the ground in front of
the seats. Some of the specialtes, such
as the Partisan gymnasts, the equine
prialst. the jumping horse, the feats of
strength and extraordinary juggling,
were very good indeed, but the riding
and acrobatic feats in general were not
up to the usual standard, The evening
performance was only fairly well attended

The Home Market.

The population of the United States at
the last census was about IA TO the square
mile, while in Great Britain and Ireland
it is 300, IN Germany PIG and in France
$50 to the square mile. If the population
of this country ever becomes rs dense as
it now is in France, we shall have nearly
700, 000, 900, and there is no doubt that the
United States can support that number AS
well as France now supports her forty
millions. Onr sixty millions of people
are the most prosperous on the face OF the
earth and for this reason this is the best
market in the world. Are we not there
fore, abundantly able to take care of our
selves, and is it worth while to run thu
risk OF losing this great home market III

full to gain other markets in other parts

A Good Plan for Doctors Every
where

The physicians of Hudson county, n
y, have recently taken significant action
with respect to the class of patrons known
as professional dead beats"-those who,
although abundantly able to pay for a
physicians services, sys Scientifically re-
frain from doing so, unless threatened
with legal procedure. The Hudson county
physicians have prepared a "black list of
the incorrigible and have agreed not to at
tend them except for cash in advance.
No doubt this plan will bring the "profes.
slonal dead beats" to terms, and result in
much pecuniary benefit to the doctors of
Hudson county. 1t might perhaps be
adopted elsewhere with good effect, In
every community there are certain small
souled individuals who will ignore doc
tors bill rs long as it is safe to do so.
They are not necessarily poor-many of
them are well-to do. But they have inbib-
ed, or inherited, the idea that the doctor
and the minister are providential CONVEX
fences which the Almighty throws in with
a mans lease Of life, and that the public
has as much right to claim their services
gratis as it has to breathe the common air
or drink from the flowing brook. The
Injustice thus done appears at once, wher
we consider the laborious and self-sacr
! ticing work of the doctor and the minis
ter, and realize that they are dependent
not only for their subsistence but
for the means of usefulness, upon
the price of their labor-the wages to
which every mans honest labor entitle.

A decision most encouraging TO all true
friends of the temperance cause has been
rendered by the New Jersey Court of Err
rors and Appeals, with reference to the
high license and local option law recently
passed by the Legislature Of New jersey.
The case involved the question of the
power of the State to regulate and restrict
the liquor traffic. 1t was claimed that
the object of the act was not expressed in
the title, as required, and also that the
power to prohibit could not be delegated
to the voters of II county or town. The
Court of Errors and Appeals, however,
held that the prohibition was involved in
the law itself, if no licenses were granted,
and that the power to decide whether Ii
censes should be granted could be dele
gated to local authorities or to the voters
themselves. The law applies to all coun-
ties alike and delegates the same powers to

paign thus far is that which some of the
democratic organs are making to delude
their readers into the belief that the negro

The republicans of the United States
Senate have.passed an order that the Sen
ate shall meet an hour earlier each day in
order to secure. more time for the transac-
ton of business. The democrats voted
solidly against meeting at eleven O'Clock,
but by having all their members present
or paired the republicans succeeded in
carrying the order The democrats at
once moved an amendment that the SEES
sions of the Senate should adjourn each
day at $50 p. IN. The object of this WAS
to prevent any night sessions. But in
this the democrats were again unsuccess-
full. The session will begin at IL O'Clock
and will terminate each day when the ma
jority of the Senate shall see fit, 1t is
plain what the democratic policy is. They
mean to delay business, and thus delay
action upon the tariff bill and the fishery
treaty. The people would be glad to see
Congress pass the appropriation bills and
adjourn, and they will hold the men who
for political ends hinder instead of dis
patching business responsible for any
needless prolongatlon of the session.
