advocated by some OF the younger voters, is not
looked upon with favor, and that the mfnier
measures which have so far prevailed viii probably
continue II Is the belief Of the leaders that
rancor, party bitterness and larger arms than
can be carried in the belt should not enter into
elections involving school matters. Whatever
may be the result Of the controversy, the country
must ever be thankful to these Kansas leaders
for the introduction Of the double polling place.
We commend the idea of Every Party its Own
Ballot Box Manager to the attention OF the cam
paign leaders Of the future

II is to be hoped that the Republicans Of the
XIIIth District are devoting good share Of their
time and attention this week to politics The
election for Senator in that district takes place on
Tuesday next The time that remains is short.
Mr.. Odell, the Republican candidate. would make
worthy successor of the lamented Mr.. Low. and
he is sure to succeed IL our friends make
thorough canvass and poll their full vote. Gov
ernor Hills friends are making desperate effort
to capture the district but they will have their
labor for their pains II the earnest Republicans of
Orange and Sullivan but do their best fush
things.
By the way, talking about carpetbaggers,'
delightful example of their reign is to be OBJ
,ed in Dakota, where In one town ace to be
found a United States Court Judge. United
States Court Clerk. United States Commissioner.
Deputy United States Marshal. and Postmaster
all ex-rebels imported 10 that Territory from the
South by Mr.. Cleveland in fulflment OF his
promise TO ill Territorial offices with residents OF
the Territory.
The discovery OF an opium Joint in Pttsfeld
was NOT only of melancholy interest as showing
the spread of this vice into the heart OF New
England, hut also had bearing upon the danger
of accepting reprobatns boo readily as religious
leaders. The fellow who owned the place was
found to be one Lutz, who has been notorious
for many years In western Massachusetts, as one
OF the noisy evangelists who so about preaching
coarse and sensational sermons, the chief burden
of which Is their own experiences as sinners.
The exposure now made renders IL tolerably
certain that the man had never changed even
his vile habits, yet be imposed upon great numbers
OF good Christian people. and even induced good
woman to become his wife. The lesson 10 obvious.
Repentance is never 20 be discouraged, but the
reformed cut1hroat who wants 10 begin a new
life by making all the Speeches leading the sing
ing and passing around the plate will bear watch
ing.
Fools proverbially rush in where angels fear
10 tread. But it Is 70 be said that angels OF
the New-Jersey variety sometimes rush IN or
rather rush down some awful risky places.
The reference at present is 10 those two Orange
Valley young ladies who have Just been witching
breath-holding spectators by riding their bcy-
cles down a toboggan slide. We are told that
the slide is 1900 feet long and the pitch
steep one. A bold mot to say rash, not 70
insinuate fool-hardy, not 70 suggest idiotic feat
And yet-snoh is the perversity OF the sex-the
chances are that II these fair riders had met
with O mouse on their way back up the slide
they would have raised shrek Of terror so
piercing as TO be heard as far south as Baltmsre.
New-Hampshire's sons are renowned for their
ilial affection, but none Of Them has ever given
q moro eccentric proof Of IL than one Thomas
T. Nesmith, who has left IS, 900 for che benefit
Of bis native town OF Derry, which is to remain
on interest, however, for 100 years before q
penny OF it is used. At the end of that period
ID will amount TO m ore millions than 10 would be
pleasant TO have TO pay out il one possessed them
The entire sum, principal and accrued interest is
then to be placed ont at interest nine.tenths of
the income being used for Nesmth University,
oren. OF course, TO both sexes, one-twenNeth for
the park OF Derry, and the remaining 1--we ntieth
TO build houses for poor and deserving citizens.
Another benefaotion is bequest of $780, which at
the end Of the same period will amount 10 several
hundred thousand dollars, enough 10 support an
art school, library, etc. Tho question whether
the project of rolling up great sum by accretdon
Through several generations will be as sbortivc
rs those that have preceded 10 will interest
our descendants
Apart from the private legitimate expenses
OF the rival candidates, next Sundays election
in Paris will be costly event TO the public
excheuucr. The sum Of 81 900 has been appro-
pristed by the City Government for all the
Parliamentary elections of this year But there
Is good reason 10 expect that nearly twice that
sum will be needed for this contest. Posting
placards has already cost $4,000 Printing the
ballots will be a mere trile Of $1,000 or SO.
But there will be many other items added 10
the bill before the 100000 registered voters of
Paris have had chance TO express their choice
between NJ. Jacques and General Boulanga.
The election OF SS5 cost more than 100000;
and since then Paris has not grown smaller
nor its rulers more economical.
