Unconditional Franchises

No reasonable and d-isinterested
person will question the propriety of
M of the amendments which Alder
man Salinger desired to have incor-
porated in the gas franchise or
dinance last night. He proposed
q clause to the effect that
if the company sold out to any other
or made any consolidation or deal
with any other concern, it's franchise
should become null and void and
whatever rights it might have ac-
CURED should revert to the city.
Nothing could be more proper than
this. The city has a gas company al
ready and one or more electric
light and power companies.
The only possible reason for
granting new powers for the
Disagreement of the streets, is to Sc
cure the public the advantages aris-
ing from competition. 1t is therefore
not only right, but it is obligatory in
morals IN the city government to
grant new franchises only in a way
that secures permanent rivalry be-
tween the holders.
There is no reason why the Board
of Aldermen should aid a combination
of strikers-of our we speak in gen.
eral terms without special knowledge
regarding the companies in question
to compel the already existing estab-
lished concerns to buy them out or
bride them off. Yet that is the posi-
bility which the Board of Aldermen
creates when it confers unconditional
privileges. We repeat that we have
no special knowledge of the compa-
MES which gained franchises last
night. They may be all right-prob-
ably they are; but when they or
their advocates resist reasonable and
proper public safeguards, the circum-
stance creates at least a painful sus-
picion of bad faith.

To Cure Ereckles.

Freckles are of little account in
children, who had better be left free
to run and play In the sunshine: but
older persons, besides guarding
against unnecessary exposure, may
need to increase the tone and nutri-
ment of the skin. which can be done
by washing it once or twice a day ia
tar soap and cold water, and after
ward applying a lotion of borax and
rose water.
Here and there a person is troubled
with large, irregular patches, most
frequent on the face and back of the
hands. They are caused by a morbid
disintegration of the red blood cor
puscles, the debris being deposited in
the scarfskin as pigment.
This disintegration is caused by
some form of debility, induced by dis
turbance of one or more internal Or
gans. Treatment must aim to re-
store the nervous power and the gen
eral health. Local stimulants may
be applied, as in the case of freckles.
Sometimes this discoloration is
spread uniformly over the entire body,
and is then known as Addison's dis
ase Its origin is essentially the same
as in tine more limited disorder last
mentioned. but the extensive de.
struction of blood corpuscles gives
rise to a serious ansemia or poverty Of
the blood.-Yontb's Companion.

Is This a Return to the of the
Middle Ages. !
From Harper's JreeklU.
If the government of the city of Albany
and that of the State of New York are eff
Gent governments, there can be no neces-
sity for any company or person to, hire
armed men to defend their property by
shooting whenever in the Judgment of
the armed men the safety Of the property
is imperilled. If any property in Albany
is attacked, or about to be attacked, the
recourse of the proprietor is TO the city
authorities, II ii they are unable to pro-
tect 1t, to the State authorities. But the
investment OF property in that city by
armed men to protect it is merely a return
to the system of medieval condottieri.
Ii the antl-Slavery orators forty and fifty
years ago, when they anticipated an as
sault upon their constitutional right of
free speech, had proceeded to the plat
form with a guard of armed men to open
IRE upon Rynders and his crew whenever
the exigency should seem to them to call
for 1t, instead OF notifying the city, or, If
the peril were great, the State authori-
ties that there would probably be ii
bre ach OF the peace and that they must
De prepared to maintain order, the anti
slavery riots would have been much much
more serious than they were.
Inc city OF Albany undertakes to keep
its W peace, and If without appeal to
its constituted authorities property own
ers are forced to assume the projection
by arms of the property, it is because the
city government and society has lapsed
into barbarism. If a mar finds a burglar
In his house he may justly shoot
him, but even then he must ac-
count for the act to the legal
authorities He may, If he chooses,
keep an armed regiment in his house
to protect it, or a railroad may
keep an army to defend it's property. But
II any soldier OF that army kills a ma in
alleged defence Of property ne must ac-
count for the act to the law, unless civil
cation is at an end. In Albany and
other civilized places the city, or The or
gained body of the people, has under
taken to protect private proverty. Has
That system failed in Albany. and is that
city really in the condition of Ravenna
six hundred years ago?

PERSONAL AND NOTABLE

George H. Bowerman, Of Newark, is the
owner of a homing pigeon which has just com
pleted a fly of 1,O93 miles air line. The bird
which is named petroleum, - was, with four.
teen others, liberated at mississippi City on
August 0, and arrived in his loft on Saturday.
Captain Robert II. Fordyce, of Company B,
First Battalion, Of Paterson. has resigned. First
Lieutenant Van Giesen will probably succeed
him, with Charles Reynolds as First Lieutenant,
and First Sergeant E. A. Scanlon as Second
Lieutenant.
Colonel Charles W. Thomas, who was a mem
Der of Governor GREEN'S Staff, will probably be
nominated for Assemblyman by the Somerset
county Democrats.
The old West Jersey Hotel, Camden, which
for years has been q landmark of South Jersey.
will no doubt cease to be a hotel before many
months, and the recent death of Stephen Par
sons, who ran the hostelry the past six-and-a-
half years, may hasten its end. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad owns the building, and had its
eye on it, the intention being, it Is said, to alter
the whole interior for railroad and ferry office
purposes. The Pennsylvania Railroad has for a
long time been greatly craniped for space at the
Federal street office. It is said that all the
main offices of the company will be moved to
the hotel building, and that the minor offices
will remain in the present building on Federal
street.

ALDERMAN NORTON says he can
produce a list of fifty persons in favor
of licensing Wersebe's saloon. Why
did he limit himself to saying so?
Why did he not come prepared with a
memorial signed by these fifty people?
Alderman Norton places himself in
a very weak position by making
vague and unsubstantiated state
ments where authentic evidence can

to win any Democratic or independ-
ent support. Indeed Mr.. Reed is the
mar against whom all the prejudice
as well as the principle of these two
forms of opinion has specially oncen
trated itself. We cannot find it in
common sense to believe that even
local pride could overcome the ire
mendous feeling against this man
which has grown up among all classes
of citizens who were not his absolute
partizans.
The fact is MI. Reed in his election
preparations overshot the mark. He
knew he deserved to be beaten, and
that in a district open to any doubt
he would certainly be beaten. He
became alarmed. He could not feel
that even the staunch Republicanism
of his own district afforded him secur-
ity, and so he instituted an elaborate
scheme of fraud to make sure of his
election. But his district was all
right. 1t was for him, and thus he
found himself at the close of the
election in the very uncomfortable
position of holding not only his
natural majority but also a large
supplementary one. evidently fabri-
Gated by bribery and corruption.
1t may not make much differen ce
should the next House of Representa-
tives be Republican. Mr.. Reed is
brazen, and, while his seat is sure, he
cares nothing about reputation-in-
deed has none to lose. Butt the next
House should be Democratic, it will
be bad for Mr.. Reed. He will be
treated to a dose of his own medicine.
He will be unseated and ignomini-
ously thrown out, and he will have
the bitter knowledge added to his
defeat that his own INSCRIPTIONS
conduct furnished the means for his
overthrow.

The Lady and the Census.

In a semi-fashionable boarding
house ION the hill, " in Washington,
resides as a guest a maiden lady, cul-
tured and clever. Like some 'other
nice people she is rather sensitive on
the subject of age, and this, of course,
was the subject of some quizzing
among the thicker skinned boarders.
The blank left at the house by the
enumeration was spread on the parlor
table, and the inmates requested to
fill in the various spaces. as to their
antecedents, etc. Secrecy was of
course out of the question, and con-
siderable curiosity was evinced as to
how our ancient maiden would treat
the query as to her age.
When her turn came she was equal
to the emergency. She quietly filled
in all the desired information, and
when the eager eyes around scanned
the 'sage column" they found they
could make nothing of it. Every
thing else was written out in a neat,
clear hand, but here they were
stumped.
"Why. Miss Arabella,n said the
landlady, smiling sweetly, II am
afraid the enumerator will not be able
to make this out" pointing to the
item in question.
"That?' said Miss Arabella placidly.
"Oh, that is written in German, you
know, and if he can't read it they can
at the office Of course" And she
calmly retired, well aware that not a
soul in the house but herself under
stood a word of German.

say the simplest things in the most
natural manner, and, for a while at
least, constitute yourself the audience
for the brilliant takers. You can
only be graceful and natural by for
getting yourself. The who is
awkward and i'll at ease is the one
who thinks continually OF how she is
looking and how she is acting-who
is, in reality, a little bit vain IN a
peculiar way. She thinks that, in a
drawing-room, her hostess should con-
tinually look after her happiness and
study her enjoyment. This is an i'm
possibility. After her hostess has
hoated her a few minutes in society
she expects her to swim alone. or else
to stand at a safe distance and watch
the other swimmers.
10 converse well it is necessary that
you should have the art of discover
ing what will interest the person
with whom you are talking and that
you will know how to drop the sub
ject when it becomes tiresome, and
never to let a special fad of your own
be the n subject that you bring up.
