Meeting for Ballot reform.

The Hudson County Ballot Reform
Association will be organized perma-
nently at a meeting to be held this even
ing at Roche's Hall, corner of Morgan
and Grove streets. 1t is expected hat
the meeting will be a large one, as notices
have been sent to all the leading mer-
chants in the city. A copy of the con-
stitution and q letter OF invitation were
sent to Ex-Governor Leon Albeit and to
General Grub. The secretary has
received letters from both of these gentle
men which will be read at the meeting.
Ballot reform is something that all
political parties are striving for, and in
the present campaign it is a leading issue.
The association is perfectly non-partisan,
and the principal work to be done will
be the securing of the passage of a bill
when the Legislature meets. All candi-
dates for the Senate and Assembly will be
asked to give a written pledge to the
effect that they will vote for a ballot
reform bill if they are elected,

A Kite Draw. a Wngon

Arthur and Leon Bunnell. Burton A.
Andrews, John Il. Dieter, and Wallace L.
Cook, of Terryville, Conn, who call them
selves tho "A. B. c. club" own what is
probably the largest kite in the country,
and one day last week when there was
a fine breeze they sent it up. The kite
is l6l feet high and II feet wide The
frame is bolted together with iron bolts
and is covered with 5i yards of canvas. To
balance this weight requires tail 40 feet
long, weighing 80 pounds. The canvas il
attached to the frame by hooks and can
readily be removed, the frame folded up
and transportation made easy. 1t is pro-
posed to give tho whole "a coating of asbcs-
tos TO make it tire-proof, and in summer to
utilize il to give exhibitions of fireworks,
which can be 50 arranged as To be dis
charged in mid-air with the aid of a slow
match or fuse.
The trial trip took place last week. A
heavy clothes line was attached and
fastened to II light road wagon, in which
the hNe young men seated themselves
good stiff breeze was blowing and the i'm
mense kite rose gracefully into the air. IL
required the combined strength OF the five
10 hold II. When il had reached a height
OF 1000 feet 1t was held there and the wagon
Was pulled over the country roads for a
distance of four miles at the rate of nine
miles an hour. The shafts of the wagon
had been removed and AN ingenious ar
rangement of ropes was used To guide it
by.

PRESERVING THE FORESTS.
An Important BIN Introduced by Sena
tor Hale For the Purpose,

al bili By Seua-
tor Hale For the Purpose.
As an outcome of the forestry convention
held In Philadelphia not long ago Senator
Hale has introduced bill for the protection
and administration of the forests of the
public domain. The bill provides for the
Withdrawal ofthe unsuryeyed public lands
OF the United States, embracing natural for
ests which are less valuable for agricultu-
raj than for forest purposes, and for
the creation of a commissioner of forests
at salary of 5000 "A year, who shall have
the control OF all the forest lands owned by
the United States. The commissioner is
to have four assistants at salary of 80 900
each, and provision is made for the appoint
ment OF inspectors and rangers for the pro-
lection of the forests Timber lands are TO
be classified and various measures tax en-
to preserve them, and heavy penalties are
imposed for cutting or transporting or
handling illegally cut timber. The presi-
dent Is authorized TO employ the army and
navy as far as may be necessary and 10
take such other measures as may be deemed
advisable for the protection of tho forest
lands.
For the purpose of carrying out the pro-
Visions OF the act 500, 200 is appropriated.
The bill IN now before the Senate commit
tee on agriculture and forestry, some
measure OF the kind will be fiyorably re-
ported, though there is strong opposition
i'm the Wesl 10 any such legislation. and il
is very doubtful il any such bill gets
through Congress.

Safe Halls Wanted.

Johnstown is surely not an inviting
abode for the timid. Some people think
that 1t is an unlucky place; and there
are seemingly strong reasons for the
opinion. Yet all of Johnstown's dis
asters came from the clear neglect of
ordinary precaution on the part of the
city authorities of the town, and il is
not right to charge their carelessness
upon the towns luck. If Johnstown
had seen to it that theie was
no such dam overhanging il, il
ltwould not have been wiped from the
face Of the valley. And il il had NOT
permitted assemblies of people to be held
in places where their sudden exit would
b disastrous, 1t would not have known
- latest slaughter. Johnstown NAV
however, be said to be unlucky in hay.
Ing its sins so often find ii out. Other
t1wns are doubtless as lawless but they
have not had the like punishment. II is a
fsct that public assemblies are permitted
IN many places where loss of life NAV
pe expected to follow a panic that
would empty them speedily. We have
heretofore called attention 10 the obvious

The Chief Justices Oratlon.

Tho chief justice Of the United states
acquitted himself well Of the difficult
task set him upon the centennial ami
versary of Washington's inauguration
as the president Of the republic, to speak
before Congress and the country In
manner worthy Of the great theme and
occasion. We have learned to think Of
Washington as great and fa,iltless and
the chief Justices eulogy was In SYM
patby with this feeling. 1t Is doubt
less true In fact that Washington
was made Of clay as other men and
was not altogether perfect but
he has been the one man appointed
by us for dedication, and the orator
will always mind the fact which
troubles him less than the need to say
something fresh in praise Of his subject.
The chief justice has done very well and
has shown himself n master Of words
and coujurcr Of ideas. He comes out
much better from the ordeal than did
Mr.. Depew from his like trial; perhaps
his repute rs an orator had not been 80
high as to leave him so much room to
fall

tals - they now are. There Il but one
safe way ofconstructing houses Of assem-
bly, and that 10 to give them exit ways
by straight passages and stairways along
a. least two sides ofthe structure. What
this state needs is TO assume control Of
the structure of all places Of public meet
ing. They should he placed under OH
cial supervision In their structure aud

ayers of such places are entirely opposed
to those of the public, i'm the matter Of In
suring the lives Of the audience against
danger, aud therefore the state needs to
intervene.
People go to dangerous places about as
freely as to safe ones, taking cheerfully

nIooks Like a Fight.

It Is quite lively battle that seems TO
have set In between the clans Of Della
mater and Hastings. II has all the ap-
pearancc Of being fight in earnest,
though Il Is possible that 1t does not
pcftend the big disturbance in the Re-
publican ranks that 1t tadvertises. II is
clear enough that Delamater has his
coster In the ring, and there Is no par
6cular renson to suspect that Hastings
b not also there, save the general idea
that seems TO prevail that boss Quay has
hIs hand In his neckcrchief, aud will
pull him off the other dog when the
1ght wakes too hot.
B It Il also clear that Delamater will
need such help from Quay to get
through, as he has not the fighting
weight of the man Of Bellefonte n fact
which Delamater seems to appreciate,
- he keeps as close to Quay as circun-
stances will permit.
II he is not Quay's man he thinks he
ID, and 80 do the camp followers generally,
who are getting in under the Delamater
umbrella In generally unanimous way.
Even.the governor, who has Hastings for
his fellow townsman and adjutant gen.
eral. shows weakness of enthusiasm In
his support. In fact he says he is n
neutral quality; which is one of the
very few times that the governor has
tersely stated the exact truth. He is Of
the neuter gendcs certainly and this
time he says he is so because he has two
members of his official family In the field
for the gubarnatorial nomination f; the
other one being the lieutenant governor,
who is hardly candidate TO speak Of.
Gov. Beaver Is evidently In state OF
mind which may he called the quak-
ing state; being one which is quite
commonly affecting the Republican
politicians of the state at this day.
He wonders that his adjutant general
ventures to tread on Quay's toes and
he ventilates the opinion that the frag-
ment of the party that opposes the be-
hests Of Quay Is "disgruntled." The
mind of Beaver is vast vacancy, but
II grasps the situation in his party in
Pennsylvania on the Quay and anti
Quay matter. The latter part Is clearly
the disgruntled part of the body, being
without fieshpots and having no hope
Of their smell unless they can turn Quay
down; which therefore they propose to
do. And we are of opinion that
their chance Of success is more than
fair. Quay is bold buccaneer and
is bound like all these fellows to bite
the dust after brief revel amid
the captured riches. There are
too many hands turned against then,
In the course of their violent and
-euccessful careers to afford them hope
that they can long escape the knives
Of the hungry and disappointed mob.
When Quay has filled the federal places
and the army of the disgruntled is re.
cruited from the fellows that have been
left out in the cold he win need to take
j his political carcass to other scenes t
3 save 1t.

A Queer Case.

Philadelphia to-day rivals Chicago as
the scene of curious crime. The story of
the supposed death and burial OF Annie
Mcintosh and the confession of conspir-
ators who sought to gain the insurance
on her life, is a record of calm audacity
that 1t would be hard to parallel in the
growing West. DR.. Murray, medical
examiner of a beneficial society, insured
sick woman for some six hundred dol
lars, and made himself the beneficiary
on the promise that if she died
the money would be used to bury
her. The woman did not die, but
left the Deighborhood and the doctor
arranged with an accomplice to have the
death and the funeral announced aud to
divide the insurance. The woman thus
declared dead had not even left the city.
The boldness and simplicity of this plot
encourage the suspicion that operations
Of the kind have been carried on with
such success as to make the conspira-
tOrs reckless. 1t is evident that
life insurance, and particularly by orders
and societies, offers temptations TO
rascality Of this kind, but this
striking illustration of the ease with
which fraud may be accomplished must
compel more careful methods of bust
mess. If Murray and his friends had
taken O little more trouble to perfect
their plans, and had induced the sup.
posed corpse to travel further, it is not
probable that the fraud would have
been found out. 1t is easy to lose sight
Of . single human atom in great city,
and rs this woman was an immigrant
without many friends, the scheme, no
doubt, appeared to be perfect in its sim
plicity. Murray and his fellow rascals
should be sternly dealt with, and in
quiry must suggest remedies for insur-
Ance crimes.

IT is astonishing how little things are
magnified when news is dull. Dispatches
from Boston announcing tho death of an
old lady, who was said to be the original
Mary who "had a little lamb" so many
times in song, and the questions of tho
identity of the subject aud the authorship
of the song are elaboratoly discussed by
wire. Mrs. Sarah J. Hale composed the
lines in early youth, and died several years
ago in Philadelphia at the age of SO. The
Boston Transcript is quoted as declaring
on the authority of nephew of
this old lady that she had no
special person as heroine, and tho
claims of the late Boston celebrity are
shattered; although ii IL admitted that
certain school teacher may have written
lines about a Mary and a lamb, which may
have referred TO tho late old lady of Boston.
Altogether this IL about rs fine n sample Of
much ado about nothing rs could well be
manufactured. Perhaps New England
dime museums will soon exhibit the
stuffed remains of the only original lamb
owned by the late Mary.
