Who's a-Hindcrin' Him ?

Major Pangborn is still angry be-
cause his paper was not designated to
publish the laws, and he continues
his wild assault upon the State
Board, and especially upon the
Comptroller, 1t is no bust
ness of ours to take up the
cudgels for Comptroller Anderson,
who is a Republican from "wayback,'
and who not only generally knows
what he is about, but can always be re-
lied upon to do his level best for his
own party, but there eel to be
something illogical in Major Pang-
born's declaration that the Board has
deprived the readers of the Journal
OF their right to read
the laws in that paper"
Surely there is some mistake about
this proposition. The Board did not
forbid Major Pangborn to publish the
laws, and indeed if they had desired
to do so they have no power
to interfere with him. He
has as much right to
publish the laws as he has to publish
any news item or editorial, and no
Board of State officers a deprive
him of this right, or deprive his read
ers of their right to read the laws in
his paper if he chooses to publish
them.
The State Board designated the
papers which should receive pay for
publishing the laws, and our only
competitor was not among these; but
he distinctly states, and insists and
~reiterates that he does not
care anything about the
compensation. but only wants his
readers to have an opportunity to
read the laws in his paper. Why,
then, does he not go ahead and pub
lish them?
1t is related that when the hand
some and gallant footman said to the
comely parlor maid, I'd just like to
give you n good, rousin' kiss" the
damsel promptly replied, well, who's
a hinderin' your"
Mayor Pangborn's grievance, as he
sets it forth, is that his readers, COM
prising "a great multitude, which no
man can number" are ~neglecting their
business and their families, sit
ting up nights, going without
food, holding their breath, and
refusing to be comforted until
they can read the laws in the
columns of the Journal, and that
while this innumerable throng clamors
at the doors of the Journal office de-
handing the publication of the laws
in that paper, and sternly refusing
to read them in any other paper, he
is sitting inside Tuning with a desire
to publish them and loudly insisting
that money is no object,
that he does not want any COM
pensation, and that his only wish is
to crafty his multitudinous readers.
The situation seems very simple
Why does he not go ahead and pub
lish the laws? Who's ''a-hinderin''
him?

Jananese cold Thread.

Japanese gold thread, which is used in
finer embroidery on account of it's elegant
lustre, consists of a core of silk or of wool
and a spiral envelope of thin gilded paper.
The strip of paper is only two-fftieths to
three-fiftieths of an inch wide, and there
fore must be wound with great care. The
thread thus wound is saturated with
shellac and then gilded. Compared to
European gold thread these threads
possess the advantage of greater fiexibil-
ity and liner lustre. In this they equal
the beautiful gold thread of the Middle
Ages, the manufacture of which for a
long time was a lost art, and was recently
discovered by microscopic investiz alton

Ocean steamers are now engaging the
attention of the whole civilized world
with their quick passages from shore to
shore, and to heal of records being
broken, and the time necessary to cross
that vast expanse of water, the Atlantic
Ocean, being shortened, has ceased to be
considered phenomenal, SO quick is the
human mind to accustom itself to such
matters. But people generally, in com
menting upon these boats, talk about the
great head-work displayed by the Cap
tain and engineers and other ships OH :
GERS, and of the s~taunchness of the vessel
and reliability of her engines, but seem to
forget hat the steward is also an import
ant factor OF a ships make up. While
others are taking care of the outer things
he must provide for the inner man, and
when the voyagers sit down to a meal on
ShipbOard they seldom think of the
amount of forethought exhibited before
leaving the shore that was necessary to
provide for the dinner they are enjoying,
and at which their palates are tickled
with all the delicacies they would have if
at home.
The steward is sorely puzzled time and
again to know how to provide, having so
many different tastes to provide for. Mr..
Victor Petry, of this city, has but recently
returned from a trip abroad, and being
anxious to form some idea of the amount
of supplies used on s~hipboard, secured the
list printed below. The steamer for which
the supplies were purchased was the
Umbria, and were for her return voyage
from Liverpool to New York. They were
purchased for $50 passengers, and for an
eight days voyage-which was completed,
by the way, in six days and twelve hours.
The following Is the list:-
II, 800 pounds fresh beef, 800 pounds
corned beef, 1880 pounds mutton, $40
pounds corned tongue, 1865 pounds lamb,
$50 pounds veal. 200 pounds pork, $50

A children,s Peaeh Festival.

A children's fair and peach festival, in
aid of the Greenville Reformed Church
building fund, was held last evening at
the residence of Mr.. Trestler, No. $50 Ocean
avenue. Despite the inclemsncy of the
weather the prettily decorated rooms
were crowded with Che friends of the
children. The Rev. Mr. Bruce made the
guests welcome, and he was ably assisted
by Mr.. and Mrs. Trestle. The children
were dressed in white and passed about
among the throng selling little fancy 10
lions. The fair will be continued tonight
for the benefit of those unable to be pres
ent last evening.

they Do Not Like the Platform.

We are panied to. have to confess
that the DemocratiE platform is not
pleasing to our Republican contem-
p~oraries. 1t is too bad. Perhaps
the next Democratic State Con-
vention will invite the editor of
the Trenton Times to draft a
platform for it. The gathering of
this week was a very self-willed body.
1t not only nominated a candidate
pleasing to itself and d~ispleasing to
the Sewell ring, but it also defined the
issues of the campaign, in a manner
embarrassing, not to say disastrous, to
the Republican party and its candi-
date, whatsoever he may be.
1t is strange, but it is true that the
Republican papers are offended be-
cause National questions will not be
the prominent issue in the coming con
test. One would have supposed that
the crushing plurality for the
Democratic ticket last Fall
would have somewhat fatigued
the Republican workers, but appar-
entity it has not. Probably it is a case
of Hobson's choice with them. They
are in a bad fix with national issues to
fight upon; but upon domestic mat
tiers they have no standing at all.
That fatal caucus last year, when
the complete supremacy of the rail
ways over the party vas demon
strated, has made it well nigh
impossible for any candidate to
take the field against the
Democracy, which in that crisis, as
always showed itself as devotedly the
friend of the people as Republicanism
showed, itself hostile to popular inter
ests.
The record of the party, too, in pro-
posing a return to the wholly unneces-
sary expedient of a direct tax upon
the private interests of the State is
ruinous to it's prospects. The
proposal was characteristic of the
party. 1t was born of the
same spirit which prompts the present
recklessness of expenditure in the
Federal Governmental wild e~xtrava-
gance which has gone far to dissipate
that vast surplus which was an anx
ious care to its Democratic custod-
ians.

The WRONG NTedicine.

A lady entered one of the prominent
drug stores in Munich, Germany, the
other day desiring a cure for a cold. The
clerk, a man of long experience, reached
into one of the chests for a popular
woman, who went on her way rejoicing.
and, to his horror, found it filed with q
porarily owing to the lack of labels. The
police were Immediately notified, but
failed to find the lady in question. Criers
were sent out, who ran about the city
proclaiming the incident and telling all
who had purchased the popular remedy
to proceed to the station to have it ex-
amined.
Red placards were placed uponsthe bill
boards. Extras were thrown about
the city, with sensational heading-'A
Life Endangered "a Case of Poison"
and the ike-until the whole town was
excited, and the majority of the inhabit-
ants seemed hunting the woman with
the popular remedy"
The station was OvercroWded with
people and invalidS of all kinds. who had
come to have their medicines examined.
There were moaning and crashing of
teeth, and historical women declaring,
despite rudy cheeks, that they were at
the point of death; others ready to take
farewell of their dear ones; in all a scene
like a mild pandemonium, frightening
the poor policemen out of their senses.
But though the firm paid over 1000 marks

unavailing. The unfortunate oma did
