1t now turns out that the liquor dealers
of Philadelphia are dissatisfied with the
limited number of licenses granted them
last year and the ycaI before, and ale out
/ with a petition asking the court to increase
the number of licenses in the city fully
{. 900. To seenre this concession they set
forth in the petition the plea THAT if the
number of licenses to retailers was some
what increased the law would be generally
obeyed. the moral welfare of the commu-
nity promoted, the labors of the Court and
the Police Department materially tighten
ed. and the evil with which the communi.
ty is now confronted, through the forma-
ton of SO. called social organizations ex-
clusively for drinking purposes, would be
greatly abated."
sin our humble OPINION taey contin-
ne, .'the number of retailers might be in
creased to 1000 without endaDgering the
peace and prosperity of the city, and as
this increase would yield the city an addi-
tional annual revenue of about a quarter
of a million dollars. imperatiyely needed
for rublic improvements, we respectfully
petition and pray that such increase may
be granted"
In the ABOVE the dealers clearly build
on the equivocal and always speculative
"evasion' dodge, a matter, doubtless, that
troubles their righteous souls ever so
much, but the s'quarter of a million dol
lar argument is the one they depend upon
the most to influence court and council.
We know something of this latter down
our way.

now in Philadelphia three times as many
places selling Illegally as there are selling
legally. The licensed places, he said,
were the only ones closed on Sunday. The
only way to stop the issuing of licenses
was to protest, and he assured the ladies
would listen to any protests that are put
in, and that if there are any good grounds
they will refuse to grant a license.

Seems strange that a poor horse, like
the Canada thistle, never dies. We m
times hear Of a dead and gone horse, but
it is never your good for 0 horse. On the
contrary it is always "the best on the

What becomes of the poor horses, anyway?

There seems a disposition all along the
line to incre ase the pay of salaried officials
in New Jersey, from the page at the legis-
lative chamber down to the lay judge at
court. Speaking of this latter a late
writer says:
s'The idea of increasing their salaries
looks ridiculous. \ prominent legislator
said the other day when his attention was
called to the bill which provides for this
increase: Instead Of increasing the COM
pensation of Lay Judges they should be
abolished altogether. There is nothing
more useless in our whole judicial mach
inery than these functionaries, who in
many instances are not even ornamental on
the Bench. In counties where there are
Law Judges there is not the slightest ex-
cuse for retaining them, and much less,
certainly, for increasing their pay. Many
years ago the late John G.. sake made a
sensible proposition to tie Legislature of
Vermont. 1t was that, instead of electing
or appointing men to be side Judges,
wooden images should lie set up in the
Court rooms TO represent those officials.
SAKE said that such images of Lay Judges
would neither interfere " it'll nor embarrasS
the proceedings of the Courts, nor draw
any salaries, and would be of just as much
use, and might be made 4 great deal hand
somer and more ornamental than the Lay
Judges who practically play the part of
dummies in the Courts
Bills are also pending which provide for
an increase in the salaries of the Vice
Chancellors, Lay Judges of the Common
Pleas Courts, Law Judges OF the different
counties, Prosecutors ef the Pleas, City
Treasurers, Aldermen, game-keepers,
pound keepers, and SO on. Then there is
no lack of appropriation bills. This in
stitution and the other is in need of more
money, and must have it. Then the State
must foot heavy bills oftxpense on account
of the Hudson county Senatorial contest,
the Ballot Reform Commission, the Tax
Commission and other commissions and
other committees OF a special nature. These
appropriation bills altogether foot mp the
sum OF about 500, 600. The State is in
debt to that extent aud more, so that it's
burden would be doubled if these appro-
priation bills were to pass.

For the benefit OF temperance people, wo
give below what Mrs. S. j. G.. Downs, in
a late letter in the Gazeue, says of Fleish-
mann's yeast:
Thursday, 9th, found me at Milestone,
in which is located the distillery where is
manufactured the celebrated Fleishmann's
yeast. Many of the Christian housekeep,
ers of the State, who consider the introduce
ton of this yeast as marking an epoch in
the history of successful bread making, do
not know that it is the product of distilla-
ton, being the compressed scum rising
from pure whisky. The sale of this article
has been enormous and the profit immense"

Bro. Elfreth ard family have our sincere
sympathy in this the hour OF their bereave-
ment and sad atlliction. In an editorial
note appearing in last weeks transcript
is the following:
We nave never before asked the indnlg-
| ence of our readers, but shall do So this
week, ON ing to the fact that We have been
absent from business on account OF SICK
ness and death in the family. OnTuesdsy
afternoon our little darling, Edith, passed
peacefully to eternal rest. In answer to
the inquiries of hosts of friends We will
state that Mrs. Elfretll, who has been in a
| critical condition for several days, was
slightly better yesterday. We fully ap-
| preciate the sympathy extended to lis on
every side.
That explains all. Wife nigh unto
death, and a little one laid away, passed
peacefully away" as the stricken father
puts it, ito eternal rest" The silent
watches at the couch, the last good bye,
| the Grape on the door, the dull thud of the
| clod on the coffin lid, the slowly moving
funeral procession, the tolling bell and
touching euioey are all incidents in the
sad chapter OF events lately Detailing our
afflicted brother. In snch an hour and
at such a time all human consolation is
vain, and vain, too, is all human philoso-
ply, and only the sure mercies of God
availeth us.
At such a time, saith the scriptures,
'the grasshopper shall be a burden, and
desire shall fail, because man goeth TO his
long home and the mourners 20 about the
streets: or even the silver cord be loosened,
or the golden bowl be broken, or the
pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the
wheel broken at the ~cistern. Then shall
the dust return to the earth as it was, and
the spirit shall return to God who gaveit."
