Their Mud Freezes.

The street committee of this town
must feel great relief that the frost has
come to solidify the mud and make
the roadways firm, though rough. The
ruts are not so severe a reflection
upon their sense as is the mud,
since they do not SO clearly remind
everyone Of the vanity of the street
committees effort to make the road sur
faces hard with stone. We have seen
many illustrations of the stupidity of
civic servants but we do not think that
there has ever existed a more imposing
monument of stupidity than the street
committee of this town, if it really be
true that they have been honestly striv-
ingfor the past season to give Us good road
ways. There is no question that they
have been laboring hard and at great
expense TO the city, to haul stuff
upon the streets. The carts have been
pusier than ever, and a huge road ma
chlne and a great stone crusher have
aided their efforts. The hill at Graeffrs

An Opportunity.

The foot ball season is over, but it may
be family hoped that the weather will
allow the awakened local interest In the
game another chance for expression on
Tuesday. There will be magnificent
chance to advertise our college by vic
tory at moment when the whole coun-
try is yet talking foot ball, and when
there will be no other foot ball news to
offer. The victory over Dickinson was
quite overshadowed by the great Prince
ton and Yale game, and the many other
Thanksgiving matches, but the news of
o victory on Tuesday will be coupled
with discussion of the sudden advance
Of the Lancaster team to the front rank
Of the states best players. The Franklin
and Marshall team must not rest upon
their laurels, and should realize that, to
gain the full reward of their last battle,
they must win the next. Strike while
the iron is hot and then the team may
rest and get down TO study, while Others
do the striking for college GYM
nasium and library and the develop
ment of one of the most firmly founded
and we'll balanced educational institu-
tions in the land.

stimulants and the Voice.

From the Contemporary Review.
Tobacco, alcohol and fiery condiments of
ali kinds are best avoided by those who
have TO speak much, or at least they
should be used in strict moderation. Like
tippling, the effect OF cigarette smoking is
cumulative, and the slight but constant
absorption of tobacco juice and smoke
makes the practice far more noxious in the
long run than any other form of smoking
Our forefathers, who used regularly to end
their evenings under the table, seemed to
have suffered little of the well known eff.
fects of alcohol on the nerves, while
the modern uppler, who is never
intoxicated, is being whose whole
i'll state of chronic inflammation,

at least, who inhale the smoke, and

A NEW YoRK doctor says that very few
people know how pulse beats vary: The
best time to ascertain the normal condition
of the pulse is shortly after waking In the
morning, when the nerves are unexcted
and the whole condition of the body is
calm and cquabe. IT would be a wise
thing for every person to ascertain the nor
nal condition of their pulse from half a
dozen observations when in good health,
for the guidance of the physician who may
be called when sickness comes. I had
two patients, both strong, healthy young
men. The normal pulse OF one is fifty ;
the otheris ninety-two. This difference is
remarkable, and had l not known the
normal condition of the pulse of each, I
might have been led into serious error"
1t might be that in trying TO follow tlis
advice to note the pulse person would
grow unduly anxious, and an eminent
Philadelphia doctor cautions his patients
against self-examination as tending to
make triiles seem grave and leading to n
hypochondrac state of mind.

A Party In Trouble.

II The Republican administration which
has bumped along for nine months by
it, lone self, with very little satisfaction
to the party or credit to itself, is now
to have the association Of Republican
Congress; and by the time the Fourth Of
July comes around we will be able TO
make close estimate rs to the condi-
ton Of the dominant party and its pros.
pect Of keeping its head above water.
! We are inclined to think that we will
find it mighty poor and 1t Is only in
extreme caution that we propose TO
await the adjournment Of the first ses-
sion Of Congress to determine the dis
solving state Of the Republican party.
The Congress meets with narrow
majority for the administration in the
Senate ard an exceedingly slim major
ity In the House; and this majority one
that cannot be held upon the tariff ques-
tion, which was the main issue of the
canvass and is likely to be the chief one
In the Congress. A shattered party, with
bare majority, elected indeed against
the popular majority, would be bound to
have hard row to hoe, however vir-
tuously and intelligently inspired; but
a party held, as is this under, the control
of small men with mean Inspirations,
cannot possibly emerge creditably or
successfully from the ordeal.
W The chief handler of the party, n
bigger man than old Harrison, is our
Matthew Stanley Quay whom we
know as ripe fruit of Pennsylvania
politics, grown on its own political
dunghill, and such product as might
be expected from its rotten richness. 1t
has never been suggested that Mr..
Quay has arisen to the command of his
party by the force of his virtue
or intellect. His successes have
been achieved by the use of course
material means and by the total disre-
gard Of moral restraints.
Nothing is more characteristic of the
man than his statement that John NJ.
Carson, the newspaper correspondent
whois candidate for the clerkship of the
House, was unworthy of consideration
for the place, as his support came only
from newspaper men. Itshowed the au.

which led him to defy the newspapers
