A bright Iowa woman, noting the inven-
ton OF a ballot-box that cannot be stuffed,
remarks: "Now, if some one will invent a
voter that cannot be stuffed with beer,
brag or bribery, we shall have made a long
stride toward better government" 1t is
safe to predict that women, though the
weaker vessels, will be less easily induced
to fill themselves with beer than some of
our present voters. The average sobriety
by woman suffrage; and that in itself will
be a step toward better government.

The Prohibitionists of burlington coun
ty are preparing to avail themselves
of the privileges accorded them under the
Baker amendment to the Werts liquor bill
just as soon as it takes effect, and say they
have no doubt that they will carry twenty
four out of the twenty-seven townships in
the county against license. In Bordentown
aud Burlington, where the licenses are
granted by Council, it will be impossible
to do anything unless they succeed in elect
ing no-1icense Councilmen-which is hard
ly probable.

Dairy commissioners, Report.

In the annual report of Dairy Commits
sioner William X. Newton there are detail
ed accounts of the results Of the analyses
Of various foods and drugs during the past
year.
The examinations made of various foods
prove ~conclusivcly the necessity of the pre-
sent law and it's rigid enforcement. Six
hundred and twenty-three articles of food
were analysed during the year, and it was
ascertained that over as per cent. were
adulterated, at the usual place of business
in the State.
Nearly all sections Of the state have been
visited by the inspectors, and the m~ilk-sup-
ply has been shown to be in excellent con-
dition. The number of eases of adultera-
ton OF this article Of food noticed this
year is less than ever before.
Fifty-six per cent. of the 415 samples of
drugs analysed were adultcrated. During
the past year but 2S licenses were granted
for the sale of oleomargarine. In 1887 80
licenses were granted, and in 1886 149.
Those now dealing in limitations of dairy
products cndeavor to obey the law in every
particular. and attempts at fraud are rare
Iy observed.
Nineteen samples of tea were purchased
in different places in the state; these were
analysed and duplicate portions sent to
Messrs. James and John Montgomery, of
1877 Water street. New York, the oldest
and most expert tea brokers in the trade,
for their opinion as to quality and purity.
The results obtained show that, while there
is no adnlteration, there is a large amount
of inferior and dcbascd tea sold in the state.
The United States law prevents the import
alton of the adultcrated article. but much
that comes to this country is of very poor
quality, having little Of the flavor Of the
true leaf.

This is the treseheroas season Of the
wear wher there is great temptation to an
ticipate real spring weather by letting fires
go out and changing clothing ON the first
warm day. The temptation to do so
should be resisted. however, for the changes
of temperature are sudden and sometimes
violent, and until the earth gets warmed
up by a succession of hot days. it is not
safe to depend on the effects of sunshine
alone. Troublesome colds and serious
throat disorders sometimes result from
haste to discard Gannels or to let the fires
go out in the early spring. 1t is better to
suffer a little discomfort than to run any
risks to health

The election in New Hampshire, in which
the Prohibition Amendment was defeated,
was conducted by the liquor party as a
''still hunt to use a phrase now well IN
derstood in politics, There was silence,
bnt it vas the silence Of assured prepare
ton. Few speeches were made, but there
was effective work done in secret, and in
the places whore liquor is sold and drunk.
The ead Of the still hunt was a sad sur
prise and defeat to the Prohibition party.
1t is now reported that the Anti-Prohibi-
tionists will concentrate their energies on
the State of Massachusetts, where a vote
is to be taken next month, and then upon
Pennsylvania in June. It behoovcs the
supporters Of Prohibition Amendments in
these States to be wary while they are in
earnest.

The following is the full text Of the act
of the Legislature giving to women the
right to vote at school meetings:
An act giving the right of suffrage to all
persons, whether male or female, in any
school meeting in any school district i'll
thisS State.
Be it enacted by the Senate aud General
Assembly of the State of New Jersey, that
every citizen of the United States, of the
age of twonty-one, who shall have been a
resident of this State for one year, and of
the county in which he or she claims a
vote for five months next before said meet
ing, shall ave the right to vote at any
school meeting i'll any school district of
the State wherein they may reside; pro-
yided, that no person in the military,
naval or marine service Of the United
States. by being stationed i'll any garrison,
barrack or military or naval force or sta
ton within the State, and no pauper, idiot,
insane person, or person convicted of
crime, which now excludes him or her
from being a witness, unless pardoned or
restored by law to the right of suffrage,
shall enjoy the right to vote at any school
meeting.
Approved April 8th, 1887.
1t will be observed that the terms of the
act are very comprehensive, and give to
women the right to vote at any school
meeting on any question on which 4 vote
may lawfully be taken, in whatever man
ner said vcte may be taken. We make
this explanation because we have been
asked if women could vote on the question
ofbuilding a new school house or appro-
priating money for the same or other pur-
poses. There Fan be no question raised of
their right to do 50.
The Camden Courier makes the following
comments ON the convict labor law passed
two years ago:
The contractors employing convicts in
the state prison at Trenton threaten that
they will not renew their contracts when
they expire, on June /, unless in the mean
time the Legislature repeats the law which
was passed ir 1887 at the instance Of the
labor union to compel the contractors to
stamp, tag or label the goods or packages
of goods with the words, "MIade in the
New Jersey State Prison." The Paterson
Press, referring to the question, says that
''the law has not been in operation, be-
cause it was not TO take effect until existing
contracts expireG they will expire on the
last day OF May, and low the contractors
express q fear That the law will stop or re-
duce the sales" Some persons on the other
hand say that this is a bluff" and that
the law will nave no effect, anyway, mas
much as it is loosely drawn and will allow
them to put tn. labels on the wrappers of
packages where Consumers need never see
them, and the wholesalers or jobbers are
not supposed to be Interested enough in
the desires of tho labor unions to care
where goods are made as long as they are
well made and can be bought cbeaply. 1t
is a pretty question, however it may be
looked at, and one that demands immedi-
ate attention at the hands of the Lcgisla-
ture.

The Crnb.Tree Gang Try to Run the
Johustown Accommodation-A Fight
Eusues-Many Persons Injured.
A small riot broke out on one of the
Pennsylvania Railroad trains yesterday af-
ternoon, in which number of persons were
injured and bruised. mick" Funk, the
weli-known conductor, was cut in the face,
and several passengers were injured.
The train was the Johnstown accommoda-
dation, which leaves the Union Station at
4:30. AT Greensburg there was a lot of
people waiting to get on board, and among
them was the "Crab Tree gang" They re-
side on the Crab Tree branch
road, near Georges station. When
around they generally run things.
They got on board, the conductor says, and,
being drunk, their leader, Joe Mccormack,
Immediately got into a fight with passen-
ger. The former is large man, being
nearly six feet high and weighs about 200
pounds. His large stature gives him room
among ordinary men, and on the train he is
alleged to have challenged any iour present
to come and do battle with him. Nobody
appeared willing to accept the offer, and to
make things interesting Mccormack, it is
alleged, struck an inofensive passenger.
This started fight, in which about Is
passengers, the train crew and McCormack's
gang were interested. One OF the latter,
named Johns, was gashed about the head
and severely injured. Conductor Funk re-
ceived painful cut above the eye, where
one OF the toughs struck him.
When the train reached Latrobe the pas
sengers in the car and the train crew, rose
up as one man and threw the gang from the
train. Warrants will be sworn out for
their arrest.

THE EX-LIQU0R DEALERS.
They Expect Tint Judge White Will Grant
Their Petition.


Their Petition.
Samuel Bing, chairman of the Ex-Liquor
Dealers Committee, said yesterday, with
reference to the petition about to be pre-
sented to Judge White:
"Judge White, if he doesn't want to be
set down as a mere obstinate person who
paws no attention to any one else's opinion,
will deal favorably with our petition. The
petition points out that the Exposition will
open in few days and that the rush of
strangers upon Pittsburg will be great.
The supply of legitimate liquor stores will
not be sufficient and the speak-easy will, in
consequence, flourish. Our petition will
also point out that the result of the restrict
ing of licenses has been to increase speak
easies."
Asked whether they hoped for favorable
decision from Judge White, Mr.. Bing said
they had every hope Of q change in the
Judges opinions. Mr.. Bing has consulted
Attorney Robb, who is counsel in the case,
and other lawyers, all of whom believe
Judge White will take this opportunity to
retire gracefully from his former position,
and admit that he was legally mistaken. 4"
Attorney Robb is also confident of success.
