repeat some part of the call which saws.
A NEEDED AMENDMENT.

The Grand jury of this county says that
il desired to indict officers for neglect of
duty for failure to do what they were
sworn to do. Bat the Jury was ad-
vised, it says, that it could not indict; that
procedure against negligent police of
fetal must be by process in lower Court,
or by impeacbment-in other words, that
willful neglect of duty is not an indictabIe
misdemeanor. 1t is explained that this
condition is due to the new Constitution,
that it radically changed the law, so that
the Legislature was abe to put such Of
lenses within the jurisdiction of the lesser
magistrates. But it is added remedy will
not necessitste change in the Constitution
but simply an amendment of the Statutes.
under which the misdemeaHcr referred to
can be made tSiable in Superior Court, as
it once was in the old District Courts.
Then let us have the law amended OF once.
Impeachment is slow and seldom re-
sorted to remedy. and difficult to apply.
Let the Legislature restore to the Superior
Courts the power to try any parties for
mssdemeanor that the Grand Inquest of
the county may see 81 to present. Here is
clear case of an evil without sufficient
remedy. The Legislature now he's knowl-
edge of it, and it ought 10 supply the relief
promptly.

IT will be an entirely safe wager that
Bismarck's delay of the Berlin Samoan
conference is purposeful, in order to gain
time in which to make war upon Mataafa.
If he can get troops into Apia while bam-
boozling Mr.. Bayard, and succeed by reason
of military superiority in crushing Mataafa,
he can declare German rule dominant, and
that there is no longer any necessity for a
conference. IL other words, Germany is
hoodwinking the United States in order to
accomplish the conquest of Samoa

One poor fellow believed he had a ball in the

Celebration of Flame by Elements.

Herr Cracau points out in Der Pharmaceut
as point probably worthy of further inves-
tigation that certain elements resembling
each other in chemical properties impart
colors to fame that are complementary. For
instance, potassium and sodium resemble one
another in chemical properties, and the
former imparts to flame "a violet and the lat
ter yellow color, the two colors being COM
Elementary. Barium and strontium also re-
semble each other chemically, and the one
colors flame green and the other red, and a
similar remark applies to zinc and cadmium.
Herr Cracau also thinks it suggestive that
the celebrations produced by potassium and
calcium, both of which lie under suspicion
as to their true elementary character, are of
a compound character, the one being violet,
a combination of blue and red, and the other
orange, combination of red and yellow.

Let the wild red rose bloom Though not to thee
So decately perfect as the white
And unwed lily dropping in the light;
Though she has known the kisses of the bee
And tells her amorous tale to paSsers by,
In perfumed whispers and with untaught grace,
Still let the red rose bloom in her own place;
She could not be the lily should she try!
Why to the wondrous nightingale cry Hush"
Or bid her cease her wild, heart breaking lay
And tune her voice to initiate the way
The whippoorwill makes music, or the thrush?
All airs of sorrow to one theme belong,
And passion is not copyrighted Yet
Each heart writes its own music. Why not let
The nightingale unchided sing her song?

The Price of Gas in London.

Under the operation of a commendable
law, the price of gas in London has fallen
steadily. Two weeks ago the directors of the
Gaslight and Coke company, by far the
largest OF the metropolitan companies, re-
solved to reduce the price on Jan. | to s.Cty-
one cents per thousand. At the same time
this company is paying dividends of about IL
per cent. The law permits the companies to
raise their dividends in return for a reduc-
ton of the price to consumers
