economy. Lancaster Il the centre Of the
Richest county In the United States, but
II cannot afford board Of health or an
ambulance. Many thousands are cheer
fully spent In crushing soft stone 10 make
mud and dust for the streets, but when
n few hundred Il asked for TO save lives
and lessen human agony there are coun-
cilmen of Lancaster who are actually
not ashamed tn say that the city cannot
afford IL. The ambulance will he
built. The board Of health may
not be formed Ind provided with
the trifling appropriation required
until an epidemic alarms our city
fathers. No doubt they firmly believe
that Lancaster, with its healthy situa.
tion and low death rate can get along
as well without board of health. The
board might perhaps save dozen
lives year, but that would make
small difference in the death rate,
whereas the cost Of whitewash and other
expenses Of the board would make q
difference Of several entire hundreds Of
dollars in the report on the city finances.

refuse of the kitchen or butcher shop

fevers In the neighborhood take several
lives IL is called an act of God, I" and
not an act Of the whole self-governing
community, which omitted to take the
common sense precautions for its own
protection by electing councilmen
with some civilized notion Of
the value of life. A physician
or any citizen who might now criticise
any offender against public health
would be very promptly told TO mind
his own business, but if we had board
of health there would be wholesome
fear of a report to that body. There are
some things that are quite above
any consideration of economy, but coun-
clmen are wonderfully cautious about
them, and strangely enough they are
things that offer no temptation 10 ex-
travagance or peculation. In such mat
tiers as the granting Of railway charter,
the building Of water works or paving
with asphalt blocks, councilmen are
wonderfully broad-minded and liberal.

lANUAsfER. PA, January 2, 1890.
he Railway Ordinance.

No DeleCt COUNCIL mas UNANIMOUSLY
agreed to the ordinance giving the street
railway companies the right to use the
Dan electric system. II took so long a
time, however, in fixing the ordinance,
% - to change the grant to the railway
companies direct instead Of to the specu-
latois who have bought the stock, that
the common council adjourned before
the ordinance reached 1t so that 1t is
not yet q law, and there is opportunity
still for its proper amendment.
The change in the grantee ofthe privi-
lege that was made by select council was
proper one, though not important ;
since the parties who have bought the
majority of the stock of the railway
companies will control them. The effect
Of the amendment made, however, GER
tAinly required the ordinance to
be printed again before its final
passage, In accordance with the rule
which requires amendments to be
printed. The chair ruled that this was
not such an amendment as II was sim
ply the striking out of certain words.
The decision sticks in the bark. The
striking out was clearly an amendment
Of the ordinance and 40 required the re-
printing Of the ordinance under the
rule.
1t il interesting to note that the in
genious party who undertook to amend
the ordinance so as TO change the gran
tees, by striking out and without ad.
ding anything to 1t, failed TO succeed
only by comma. He had to put Q
comma after motive power" in plact
Of the "of' that he struck out; and tina,
comma called.fo printing even under
the extraordinary ruling of the chair
We trust that when this ordinance gets
into common council II will seem to the
majority Of that body that IL will bt
wise to limit the duration of the fran.
chise; or at least that the city should re
tain the power TO increase the tax pei
car at stated periods. Why should fiv,
dollars per car and fifty cents per pol,
be fixed as the tax now to stand for al
time ? Or do councils consider tha
they can hereafter increase the chnrg,
II they see fit? If they do so think
they may find themselves mistaken
(. and why not make sure of II by expressly
retaining the power?
And then again we hope that thu
common council will see proper to re
quire the railway companies TO remov,
their turnouts, within fixed time-sa,
one year. There certainly is no need o
these tirnouts in system that proposes
to use electric power and where double
line of rails will be needed over tn,
whole route to enable the service TO b,
made with satisfactory regularity ant
-speed. We have also pointed out tha
the Nav of 1887 require street railway,
incorporated under it, as our railway
claim to be, to lay continuous lin,
Of rails from the beginning to the enc
Of their route. The new owners of ou
railways may be ready to dispense with
turnouts for their own advantage; bu
certainly 1t will be such an advantage Il
the city to get rid of them as, in oul
judgment, makes it the duty Of councils
in granting to the companies the privi
lege Of using electric motive power, I,
require that the turnouts be taken ~
within convenient but brief time.

BULLETIN No. 8, of the State college
agricultural experiment station, deals with
the digestibility of cornfodder and silage
and should be of interest and value to the
farmer who happens TO be a chemist
Strangely enough, however, the farmer is
rarely chemist, although his business
seems to need knowledge OF that kind
more than any otler. Perhaps the con-
temptation of these reports may awaken
some desire TO understand them better and
so encourage more attention 10 the scien-
tific side of farming.
The experiments here recorded show
that tho process of ensilage lowered the
digestibility Of the material more than the
process of field curing. This is but one
element in determining the relative value
of cornfodder and silage, and further ex-
periments are to be reported.

& QUESTION OF VERACITY.

The Attorney General has placed
himself before the public, and
stakes himself and his reputation
upon question of veracIty be-
tween himself and the other three
members of the cabinet.
Unfortunately for the Attorney
General, his own actions and ad.
missions have been such as to
arouse a well grounded suspicion
IN the minds of AN unprejudlced
community. as to the bona fides of
any Of his acts and the truth of any
OF his statements; and when he is
handicapped by making sta ements
which are denied by Messrs. Da-
mon, A1stin and Thurston, we fear
that he and his reputation will pull
through in an exceedingly be-
dragged condition.

KOHALA FEMALE SEMINARY.

The Kohala Seminary closed its
first year (the first after an inter
regnum of seven years. on the 18th
inst. with some very interesting ex-
ercises, in their school room, begin
ming at l P. M. with singing and
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Tobey.
The room had been tastefully
decorated with variety of flags and
festoons of braided ferns and flowers,
entirely the work of the girls under
the direction of the teachers. The
pupils, numbering twenty-five, and
ranging in ages from 6 to Is, were
neatly attired in white.
The exercises consisted in the
singing Of songs, blackboard exer-
cises in arithmetic, and geometrical
drawing, calisthenics, declarations
and dialogues. Specimens of draw
lngs OF maps, geometrical figures,
decorative designs and perspective
also adorned the blackboards; and
others of a like nature on paper,
some of them being original designs
or sketches from objects, were passed
about the room for inspection. These
all showed remarkable degree of
taste and proficiency in execution.
A murmur of pleasure ran through
the audience at some exceedingly
rapid arithmetical work executed on
the blackboard by some of the older
girls, and all were pleased with the
many evidences of earnest and
thorough work on the part of the
teachers, seconded by the sympa-
thetic interest of the girls them.
selves.
The exercises closed with Bible
recitations, short addresses from
visitors who were invited to
speak, and the singing of the
American and Hawaiian national
hymns. The company then adj
journed to the dining room to in
spect the specimens of handiwork in
variety of sewing, fancy work and
cookery which were exhibited for
sale. These were disposed of SO
rapidly, particularly those in the
culinary department, that really
there was but little opportunity for
seeing what there was. The sales
realized $40.
It speaks well for the school, in
fact nothing could say more for it
than the fact that the girls are
happy and love to stay there. But
two or three of them have been in
other schools of like nature.
The majority came from the Eng
lish Government Schools, and one or
two little ones who knew little or no
English when they entered, are able
to read and speak very we'll.
All hut three or four are from this
district, and these exceptions repre-
sent Hamakua and Puma.
The teachers have labored ear
nestly and faithfully, and the i'm
pressions made by this exhibition
were such that an increase of the
school may be looked for the coming
year, which opens September 9th.
instruction is given in washing,
ironing, sewing, cooking and all do
mestic work. aside from the other
usual school routine.
Extensions and alterations to the
building are already in progress.
