The Newark Advertiser of last evening
says that the German editors of New Jer-
sey are in a quandary over the publica-
ton Of the laws. The papers to print
them in German have been assigned, but
no TRANSLATOR appointed, and in conse-
quence the work cannot go on. Since
Governor Green has been in office he has
made Albert Hoffman, of Hudson county,
the translator: recently he made him a
Lay Judge, and there are several candi-
dates in the field for the appointment of
translator. Alexander Schlessinger,
formerly of Camden, but now tof Jersey
City, is a candidate, and so is Captain Il.
G. Stahl, of Trenton. The German editors
want the matter settled before the cam
paign opens, and several of them called
on the Governor, and being assured that
Judge Hoffman waived all the rights to
the appointment, promised to make the
selection in a few days. 1t is said that
Captain Stahl. Of Trenton, will be the
man.

AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT.

The Bureau of Labor and Industrial
Statistics of the State of Wisconsin has
just made report that is at once novel in
its character and valuable as illustrating,
in a new way, the conditions that prevail
in this country favorable to the wage
Garner, as compared to the unfayorable
conditions that obtain in other countries.
In the table that we give below from the
report referred to, the purpose has been to
show the purchasing power of the wages
paid for ten hours of labor, if expended in
wheat bread, beef, mutton, pork, or butter.
The standard is the wage paid to the
skilled blacksmith. All the wage values
are reduced to the English-American
standard-one pound, sixteen ounces avoir-
dupois. The American basis of calcula-
ton is 81 day, and ten hours to make the
labor day.

tirue this showing generally through all
the schedule of necessaries For instance,
house rents are much higher in the United
States than in England, and when it comes
to furnishing the house, the workman
finds that he must pay considerably more
for needed fittings than if he bought in
England. He can buy woolens in that
country cheaper than at home, and so too
with sugar, salt and some other supplies
But there are, on the other hand, many
advantages, social, intellectual and econ
omical, that the American worker enjoys,
which need not here be recapitulated, and
that are thoroughly understood by the
wage-earners of America.

There is no need for much comment, as
the table is self-explanatory But we may
appropriately draw attention to the fact
that it is shown that in England bread is
cheaper than in this country, notwith-
standing that the former is wheat i'm
porter In all other matters shown in the
table the advantage is on our side and
favorable to the American workman. 1t
should also be borne in mind that on the
continent Of Europe wheaton bread is but
little used by the laboring people, rye
superseding it, while meat is a rarity there
compared to the use of it here; and butter
is, in fact, luxury among the industrial
classes of Europe. There is in the table
whole sermon of truths forwhoever chooses
to receive them. We echo the exclama-
ton of the Chicago Inter Ocean in its ex-
animation of the subject "No wonder
the United States is the FL Dorado of the
working classes"
Just now the question Of wages in a
comparative sense is chief subject of de-
bate in England, as it was in this country
last year. Recently the Secretary Of an
English Labor Committee, Of the Fair
Trade League, made an address on the
subject in the nature of report. Mr.
Pettifer reports to his organization that he
visited and investigated thirty chief
manufacturing cities and towns of the
United States, and his observation was,
and the proofs adduced supported the con-
illusions reached, that in this country the
people are better housed, have better and
a greater variety Of food, and Of charac-
ter better adapted to favor the maxi
mum output Of energy; and are better
clothed than any working people anywhere
else, while the opportunities that are open
to them to advance and to better their
condition are not even approached by the
opportunities that are afforded by business
and social, conditions elsewhere. As to
the cost Of family supplies, the Secretary
said;
But, then, the actual figures of wages are no
test at all what you want is 20 know what You
are going TO buy with the wages, because IL a
man gets double wages and takes il al to keep
himself alive. Il is no use having them. / viii
tell you exactly how they stand. I viii give
you what u costs a man to I've, not in New
York, but all through the country at large

much cotton sheeting, shifting, as much print

thing about those boots. The pair have on al
present cost SIP shiliings and six pence-in
Boston, Americs, not in a little shop. but at the

incompetent to compete.

w. A. CRoFUT has for some time been
conducting a debate in the North american
Revie,o on the subject of thought transfer
ence, taking the position that mind read
ing is, after all, but muscle reading. He
bases this conclusion on experiments in
which he has engaged, that satisfy him
that he can find hidden articles by deli
cate analysis of the muscular yielding of
the person whose hand he holds, and who
has secreted the article searched for. That
is to say, he acts in It's discovery as does
water in its fow-takes the direction of
the least resistance. To this DR.. Post has
responded, saving that Mr. Crofut is hasty
in his conclusion, since it is evident that
he mas not witnessed the full or the best
examples of mind reading. The difficulty
with Mr.. Crofut is that which crippIes the
inquiry of any one who is satisfied with a
hasty and perhaps a single experiment.
Scientific inquiry is always deliberate when
of any value, and it is likewise judicial
When Mr.. Crofut challenges DIR. Post to
"prove" that mind in one can control
muscle in another, or rather the command
of the viii to the muscle, he begs the
question, unless he is willing to accept the
ordinary proofs, snch as are marshaled to
convince the reasonable man of any truth.
Under that standard we assert that we
have knowledge of discovery of hidden
articles By mind readers who have not
apparently touched the person who Sc
creted the article Or, to be more accu-
rate, written words, securely secreted about
the person, and of which, according to
apparent evidence, the mind reader could
not have knowledge, have been discovered
and declared, without removal from the
place of hiding, and without the reader
coming into contact with the person who
wrote and concealed the writing. OF
course there is possibility that there was
a trick in ii" but Mr.. Crofuts solution
that all such phenomena are Of the order
OF muscle reading is wholly and, if it is
trick, ludicrously unsatisfactory. The
truth is that the muscle-reading theory is

THE finger of scorn should be cut off or
crooked by rheumatism. Its pointing has
never made human being better, says the
New Orleans Picay,cac. 1t is possible that
but few at whom the ingerof scorn pointed
have been made better, but some certainly
have been Weakened to new endeavor by
that reason; and it is unquestionably true
that the exhibition has beneficial infu-
ence as a deterrent in the cases Of others.
Was it not Milton who wrote of " A dis

THE attitude of the attorneys of Kemm-
Ter, the condemned New York murderer,
is just little peculiar. Backed by the
electricians, they are contending before
the Courts that it has not been established
with certainty that the electrical current
will kill; that their client is, under the
judgment of the Court, entitled to be
killed, and hence he should be killed,
to put it shortly. A shrewd lawyer can
be trusted at any time to put up an APP
parent syllogism that will mix things in
extricably by its conclusion. But it is not
exactly clear to the layman how the coun-
sci would have the proposition that cleo
tricity will not of a certainty kill tested
without trying it upon a man. Their
reasoning is much like that of the old saw
about not going into the water until you
learn to swim. The New York Times puts
the case well when it says:
ANY mode of execution is liable to misad-
ventures. When Court sentences man to be
hanged by the neck until he is dead it does not
contemplate decapitatioD, which has been
known to occur. but the possibility of decapita-
ton would not be accepted by any Court as q
reason for denying the execution of the SEN
tence There Is necessarily something expert

The reports from Hayti are not at all
encouraging for peace or for the comfort of
Americans there resident. Foreigners at
Port-au-Prince are threatened with ex-
pulsion and in some cases with death.
Fortunately, We have in the port two war
vessels that are sufficiently strong to awe
both Legitime and Hippolyte into respect
for the rights of our people. The Eng
fish and Spanish ships of war viii cooper
ate with us in protecting foreigners, and a
French man-of-war is expected in the port
IN few days that can also be depended
upon to stand with us. While the position
of Americans at Port-au-Prince is there
fore unpleasant, it is not desperate, and it
is not likely that they win be deprived of
life or liberty, though it is altogether
probable that their property will suffer by
the assault that Hippolyte is making, and
the fires that result from the defense and
the bombardment of the city.
