The question which is t. be decided al the
ballot box In this city tomorrow is one in
which every citizen is interested, and every
citizen should make an effort to vote upon
it. While the election, in the words of the
law which authorizes it, is to decide whether
or not the city authorities shall transfer =
the county authorities a portion OF the old
South Broad street cemetery for a court
house site, the decision, il in tho afiirma-
tive, will not compel them to do 50. They
will still have the power 10 do what they
please in the.matter, but if they refuse to
make the transfer they will have
10 improve the cemetery and keep
it in excellent order. 1t is apparent, there
fore, whether the county gets
portion Of the cemetery for
a court house or not, that every citizen is
interested in tomorrow election 1t would
be very much TO be regretted if the few who
oppose the proposed improvement should,
through the Indifference of those who favor
it, have the election all their own way, be-
cause nothing would be done then toward
keeping the place in repair, and each year
its condition would become more deplorable.
However, it is not necessary to state again
the vS;y strong reasons which exist in favor
of introving the cemetery. They have
been stated so often that there can hardly
he an intelligent resident of the city who is
not acquainted with them. The main thing
is 10 get rid of an unsightly spot which mars
the beauty of the city, and if the decision
tomorrow is in the affirmative that will be
effected, and, that too, without shocking the
sensibilities of those who think that the
tombs and graves should not be disturbed
1t should be borne in mind that the prob
ability that portion of the ground will be
used for a court house is a very remote one.
Indeed, the question of transferring a por-
ton of it TO the county for that purpose
may never have to be acted upon by the
city authorities. The county doesn't want
a court house site until it gets ready to
build court house, and there are several
things TO be decided before it is ready to do
that. The present court house site must first
be disposed of, and then the consent of the
people to issue court house bonds would have
to be obtained.
Narrowed down, the question to be de-
cided tomorrow is, shall the old cemetery
be improved so that it will be place Of
beauty instead of resort for snakes and
li2ardsl Let the question be decided in the
affirmative.

Tho New York Quarantine.

The Herald is authority for the statement
that the equipment of the New York Quar-
antine Department has been grossly made
quate and its management rotten. This is
a terrible charge, and is calculated 10 create
a great deal Of apprehension. There is not
city nor a village Of any Importance in
the entire country which is not in commu-
nication, either by rail or water, with New
York city. Every part of the country is,
therefore, interested, to a greater or less ex-
tent, in having an intelligent and strict
quarantine at that port.
For months the Governor of New York
has been trying to improve the quarantine
at New York city, but has not succeeded be
cause he has not been able to get rid of the
Quarantine Commissioner
There is a probability, however, that
change for the better will be made in the
near future. The Board Of Health and the
Academy of Medicine of New York city
have filed a protest with the Governor
against the way the quarantine department
is conducted, and the outlook is that it will
bring about very marked reform.
There was cholera in New York harbor
the greater part of last fall, aid it is be-
lieved that only by accident did New York
city escape it. One of the cholera ships
went to the upper quarantine station before
it was even discovered that she had cholera
on board.
New York would act wisely in spending
ten times as much as she does for quaran-
tine purposes, because if cholera appears
within her limits the whole world will
quarantine against her, and her commerce
will be at standstill as long as it remains
Her losses will amount to millions of dol
lars even if she escapes an epidemic, and if
she have an epidemic her losses will reach
fore, he too careful about her quarantine
regulations.

A Pension Increase Proposed.

II was noticed that none Of the survivors
of the war of 1912 was at the Presidents
reception on New Years day. Some Of
them were present at the reception Jan. l.,
1897, and at many previous receptions on
New Years day. Their absence last Mon
day, therefore was quite noticeable. They
doubtless think they are getting too old to
attend receptions, even at the White House.
There are a good many Of them yet, how
ever. On June so last ,o69 of them were
drawing pensions, and of widows of the
the 1912 soldiers there were II, S,}1 who were
getting assistance from the government.
The amount now annually paid TO surviv-
ors and survivors widows is 81, s07, 0j6.
A bill has been introduced into Con-
greSs to increase the pension of the sur
vivors from s. TO S25 per month. 1t is
probable that the widows will be included
before the bill gets through both Houses.
There doesn't appear to be any good reason
why this increase in the pension burden
should be made. All Of those who draw 50
per month do so on the ground of enlist
ment, and not because they rendered mill
tary service or suffered disabilities of any
kind. Doubtless about all of them are now
well provided for, the majority of them,
perhaps, being in comfortable circum-
stances. There are men in Congress, how
ever, who are never happy unless they are
advocating an increase in the pension bur-
den. They seem to think that nothing else
will so surely convince their constituents
that they are statesmen.

An Easy Prophecy.

There are lots Of prophets in tho world
There are w. Their prophets, and earthquake
prophets and prophets who claim to be able
TO tell people all about what is going TO hap
pen to them in coming years. OF course
they are humbugs, and they do great deal
Of harm by keeping the credulous and SUI
perstiuous in condition OF chronic uneas-
ness. Like the celebrated Virgins, of Can
ada, they do vast amount Of guessing, and
once in great while they make a guess,
which, proving 10 be somewhere near the
truth, they get credit with a few for a
power which they do not possess
One OF these prophets says that the pres
ent year will be one Of great disasters
Probably it viii. What year has not been'
During 1857 a part of Cuba was swept by a
huge wave, which did much damage; thou
sauds Of people were killed by earthquakes
in France, Italy, Chill, Sicily and Egypt
In Paris theatre was burned and 100 lives
lost the steamer Sir John Lawrence was
wrecked in the Bay of Bengal and 800
people lost their lives; by the coils
ion Of the steamers Benton and Fair, near
Malacca. $50 more names were added to the
death roll, which was further increased by
an explosion in the Naniamo colliery,
and by railroad accidents at White river
junction and other points. In China
seven thousand miles of territory were
inundated by the overflow Of the
Yellow river, eleven cities swept away. and
many thousands of people left homeless and
without food These are only the principal
disasters Of the year, An equally appalling
record could be obtained by going back to
1876, or to almost any previous year. 1t is,
therefore, safe for self-appointed prophets
to say that many accidents, amounting to
calamities, will occur in 1888. The records
of past years are very apt to be fully main
tanned, and they may even be surpassed in
disastrous events.

Temperature of the Earth.

From the Montreal Gazette.
Prof Penhallow. who has charge of the de-
partment of botany and vegetable physiology,
and Prof. Mcleod Superintendent of the McGill
Observatory, are conducting series of obser-
vations on the temperature of the earth at diff
ferent seasons and under different circum-
stances 1t is found that when a certain depth
is reached, the temperature is permanent the
year round. and records have been made for all
chief scientific centres, and the same fact will
soon be ascertaned for Montreal. The chief in
terest in these observations is from their bear
ing on agriculture II is important TO know the
exact condition of the earth as TO warmth at all
depths in which vegetable growth takes place,
and the effects on temperature Of snow, mois-
ture, density of soil, and geological formation

sunk to this distance, and upon it, at intervals
of six inches are sodered iron wires and Joints

circumstances of a Canadian winter, and to OBJ

ors themselves

can goit blind, but he never misses the winning
horse. He was never known to be in ill-humor,
and Senators who get up junketing committees
during the recess of Congress will actually al
most quarrel for Christie to take their commit

standing, weighs nearly 300 pounds. but is very
active, and bis powers of absorption of both
liquids and solids are simply marvellous He has
lots of money. and it keeps on piling up, as he
never has the opportunity to spend any.

Aspiration.

let the dead past bury its dead,
Life open with grander sweep:
The same bright heavens shine overhead,
And deep doth beckon unto deep.
Climb ever up to higher heights
Untrodden yet, with f1rmer tread,
To broader views, to nobler faith,
Climb to these mountain peaks instead.
Though dark below the base may be,
Its SUBMITS are with sunlight kissed;
And the brave soul that climbs may see
The blessed light above the mist.
AS one who with unwearied steps
Climbs cloudy Alpine peaks sublime,
One hour at least in life looms up
Above the little riffs Of time.
As one who in serener air
Forgets life's little hour of woes,
We feel the spirit that dwells there
The sense of passionless repose.
Onward and up each step we take;
From Paradise no gate debars;
Above are still the heavens outspread,
The daylight and the eternal stars.

A Chance for an Improvement

Congress street is to be widened
street by setting back the iron fence of
johnson square ten feet This improvement
will add greatly to its appearance. Why
not make another and still greater improve
ment in that locality by removing the iron
fence which incloses the square, and mark
ing the squares boundary by neat stone
curbinga
When it was proposed to remove the
fence that inclosed the Greene monument
there were protests. The old conservative
spirit which has such a firm hold upon this
city objected, and for awhile it was thought
it would prevail, but the spirit of progress
got the ear of the City Council and the
fence was taken away. Does anybody want
it restored? No one will say that the monu-
ment does not make a better appearance
without it, and the removal of the fence
around the square will be an Improvement
which will be generally commended after it
is seen how great it is.
The City Council could not do a wiser
thing than to take down all iron fences
which inclose parks and substitute stone
curbing for them. The iron in the fences
would sell for almost enough to pay for the
curbing. AS for the cattle, they ought not
to be permitted to roam at will about the
streets. In no other city of the size of this
are they permitted to do so, and here the
fences are no protection against them
Even the Independent Presbyterian church
would be improved i'll appearance by the
removal of the fences which inclose it.
