1t is announced that the Agricultural
Appropriation bill has been completed by
the House Committee on Agriculture,
which propose an appropriation of ST.
63G, 900, as compared with estimates Of ST.
6S6, 100, and an appropriation for the pres
emit year of 81, 715, s26. The regular ap-
preparation of 500, 600 for the purchase
and distribution Of seeds is made, but the
Commissioners of Agriculture is required
to supply the seeds directly to the several
State agricultural experiment stations for
distribution by them, a change that would
appear to be an improvement upon the
former method. Other improvements will
probably soon be instituted, now that the
Department of Agriculture has become an
executive branch of the Government.

Oar common schools are the breath of
life to our free Institutions; yet sad to re-
late, we nave more than -four dramshops
to one school. Will not the traffic in that,
which is the peculiar a%ntagonizer of know
ledge and virtue, forever nullify the good
effects of our schools? Will it not eternal
ly ravel out the little morality that is in
woven by education? 1t does more. 1t
obstructs the road to the school house, and
effectually bars its door against the un-
fortunate children of the drunkard. 1t
strips them Of decent clothing; robs them
of necessary textbooks, and turns them
famished and destitute in mind and body
into the highways and by-ways of va
grancy, loaferism and vice. The state
should be their guardian, but it scourges
them with fathers made cruel and heartless
in government dramshops-its peculiar
institutions .-Sumner SteJ6ins, M D.

When will a nation, half ruined by her
vice, demand what the legislature will not
then Withhold? Weigh the gain and loss
strike the balance. On the one scale place
whole tons of intoxicating and adulterated
liquor-put alcohol, at the very best a
needless luxury; on the other side put
ESQ, 600, 600 a year, and grain enough to
feed a nation, and grapes that might have
been the innocent delight of millions; and
load the scale-for you must, if you would
be fair-load it with di sease and pauperism,
and murder and madness, and horrors such
as no heart can conceive and no tongue
tell; and wet it with rivers of widows and
orphans tears; and if you will not strike
the balance, God will one day strike it for
you. But will you, as Christian men and
Christian women-will You, as lovers of
your country and lovers of your kind-stand
up before high God, and say that the one
is worth the other?-Can0n Rtrrar.

The bill for the repeal Of the Local OPP
ton law did not come up in the Senate or
Monday night contrary to general expec-
tation. The Democrats are afraid to push
it, owing to the doubtful positions Of
Senators Baker and Smith on the question,
and the prospects are now exceedingly
gloomy for its passage this season. a large
delegation of clergyman waitd on Senator
Baker on Monday and impIored him to vote
against the measure.
Assemblyman Kalisch, of Essex, intro
duced in the House Monday night a bill
providing for a constitutional Convention.

Convention is to be composed of twenty
one delegates at large ard two from each
county. Compensation is fixed at So a day
and 81 mileage for each 20 miles travelled.
The amendments adopted at the Conyen-
ton are to be Submitted to a vote of the
people at a special election to be held on
September l.
TUESDAYS SESSION.
Senator Mcpherson was here all day us
ing his best efforts for the restoration of
harmony in the Democratic ranks on the
liquor question. He held several confer
ences with the Democratic leaders, and
with representatives of the saloon men and
other wings of tine party. 1t was reported
that an agreement was reached whereby
certain amendments will be made to the
caucus bill for the regulation OF the liquor
traffic which will please all concerned and
bring into line the half dozen ofDemocrats
who kicked over the traces last week when
the caucus decided in favor ofthe measure.
1t is seriously doubted in some quarters,
however, whether the bill, unless the clause
repeating the Local Option law shall be
stricken out, will receive the full Demo-
cratic vote. The liquor lobby say that two
or three Republicans will vote for the meas
ure. 1t is doubtful il the bill will come up
for action this week.
Governor Green this morning sent to the
Senate the following nominations: Carl
Battner, Lay Judge of Essex county; Elvin

On motion of Mr.. Ii%eppenheimer that
