thank for the expe nditure of ssS, 5si.1s
on channel improvements in that
stream during the past year. But to
carry out the ideas OF the engineers
who have the Raritan in charge, will
require the enormous outlay OF 81
500, 600, a pretty large sum to come from
Uncle Sans depleted purse. Before
the money is spent, it would be well
to ascertain whether any proportion
ate advantage to trade would result
from the expenditure. The army
board should report on the probable
results to the transportation business
Of the development of this channel.

Philadelphia IL his suborn>d accomplice and
defender. The job is too big for them.-Sfate
Gazette.
The proposition is ~self-evident. The
Philadelphia newspapers have covered
themselves with disgrace in this
Bardsley Investigation. When they
wilfuliy omit the most sensational
features of testimony publicly rem
dered there must be a reason for it.
The reason is to be found in Bards-
ley's statement, showing how this and
that editor stood in with the gang. A
further reason is to be found in the
fat advertising of Cheap John Trade
marks big notion store. The venality
of Philadelphia journalism has be-
come a disgrace I the country. Let
us look at the record
PUBLIC LEDGER (Republican);-
Deliberately suppresses B~ardsley's
statement discriminating John Wana-
maker. Proprietor. G. W. Childs,
social and political and financial asso-
ciate and partner of Wanamaker, the
Drexels and others of the Philadel-
phia millionaire ring.
Press (Republican):-Print men,
dacious editorials, misstating facts
and apologizing for John Wanamaker.
Editor. Charles Emory Smith, Presi-
dent Harrison's Minister to Russia.
TIMES OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

maker and apologies for him edito-
rally. Editor. A. X. Mcclure, in
volved by Bardsley in the Gas Works
deal and other crooked political and
financial entanglements.
RECORD Observation-Disclosures
evidence against Wanamaker, argues
in his favor, and ignores all presump-
tions against him. Proprietor w. NJ.
Singerly involved with Bardsley.
Marsh & Co. and the keystone Bank,
in numerous financial transactions,
also in Gas Works deal.
We might lengthen out this painful
list considerably, but these are the
leading papers Of the city. the rich
papers in which. if anywhere, indie
pendence should be looked for. When
they go astray what wonder that the
small fry follow them?

A fight occurred last night in a board

names struck Kelly in the face. Kelly
knocked his assailRnt down with mis-

passing at the time. aud after separating
the men took them to the Fourth pre-

this morning sent Harrington to Snake

1t seems a pity that there is not in this
country a provision of the Constitution
similar to the clause in the Constitution
Of Switzerland, according to which any
measure must be submitted to popular
vote if a petition containing 10000 names
is presented asking for its submission.
The Swiss are now suffering from a
measure very much like our Mckinley
bill But a league has peer for med to
obtain petitioners for its submission to
the people when. it will probably be de-
feated. II there had been a similar
clause in our Constitution where would
the Mckinley bill be now?

Neither the Poormasfer nor Patrolman

When travelling around through
Siam it is a constant surprise to see
such numbers of strong, healthy look
ing men and women lying around
with apparently nothing in the
world to do but smoke cigars and
chew betel. The idleness is largely
due to the fact that the wants Of the
common people are so few and simple
and so easily satisfied.
The climate is such that clothing. as
a protection from cold, is needed only
through the night and early norm
ings for about four or five weeks of
the year; the remainder of the year
clothing seems to be looked upon as a
real nuisance. and the less a native
can get on with the better. Dem

A Product of Civilization.

Hysteria is clearly a product of
civilization. Nothing that in the
least resembles it has aver been dis
covered among heather peoples.
1t is a disease OF the Imagination
and is developed with it.
The worst cases are those persons
who have highly strung or
CARNATIONS, who are emotional and
anced.
A well balanced min d is q high
sounding phrase and see ms to mean a
great deal, but in reality it means
only self control. To be the ruler of
ones self is the key to the situati on,
aud the one and only cure for
hYsteria.

WHATEVER honesty the Farmers
Alliance crank may ordinarily pos
sess, his ''fairnessn when called upon
to act in a judicial capacity is of a
very dangerous sort. At Topeka,
Kan, the Alliance people elected as
Judge n Mckay, a farmer whose
knowledge of law was derived from
occasional attendance at unimportant
sessions of court. Now he is a law
unto himself, and since his elevation
to the bench he has carried
things with a high hand.
He calmly sets aside the or
ders of the Supreme Court
Of the State, imprisons officers who at
tempt to carry out the instructions of
the City Justice and refuses to have
anything to do with mortgage fore
closure cases, as he holds that they
are oppressive to the people. His de-
cisions are made only after c~onsulta-
ton with a committee from the AL
lance.
The Supreme Court is after Judge
Mckay, who may be landed In Jail if
he does not mend his ways. Such op
erations as this ought to, and I'M
d%oubtedly will. hasten the inevitable
downfall OF an organization that
seems to be at variance with every
known principle of common sense.

nurses, the question of the strong

In the imperfect development OF M
educational methods. teachers, both
male and female. still RELY on brute
force; and while that is involved, COM
mittees must have at least n able
bodied male teacher in each of our
large school buildings, just as in GER
tain cases of illness there must be a
male nurse. So far it is not a mere
custom or prejudice, but a necessity.
These head teachers are very often in
ferior to their female assistants in gen.
eral education and enlightenment;
but they have the right arm; and the
habit of employing men in these posi-
tions from supposed necessity leads to
their employment in other high edu-
cational positions where ONE would
do lust as well. As education devel-
ops, and the strong arm becomes less
essential, women will in time be
equally available with men for these

p-rinceton's Pussy.

= n ~
In an article on Cats in Wide
Quake appears the following inter
esting extract:-And finally, grave
Princeton College has had a pet,
which was also a phenomenon, in the
shape of a two-legged a = biped
from birtb-but a most cheerful,
healthy, engaging little creature,
dark maltese in color. with a white
star on its breast. Her fashion of
walking was queer, but lively, as the
annexed sketch by DIR. Il. G. Hill, of
Princeton, will show.
Brought from a New York villaget to
this college town, she adapted her
self to her new home with the ready
pliability of youth, became every
body's pet In general, her masters in
particular, and was in all ways a
thoroughly charming, though whim-
steal, babycat. Her Virtues were all
her own, while her faults, like those
of other kittens, were doubtless due
to their being no kittychism. Such
is the reason a modern writer assigns
for feline errors, and it carries with it
conviction. As the kitten is bent, the
cat will certainly be inclined.
Pussy's course in life was destined
to be as brief as brilliant. In the
spring of N, DIR. Hill was absent a
fortnight. He came back to find his
small friend dead. He had left her
vivacious and merry-now she was
only "a BODY Poor kitty" he
wrote, was well and happy while l
was with her. l really think she
pinned and died as much from loneli-
ness as anything else.n
To say that she was missedis idle; 1t
could not be otherwise with so bright
and loving a creature. Love wins
love the world over, and where love
comes love follows. Our poor little
pussy's heart was all her masters; it
resulted that in his heart was a corner
all her own.
Her body was sent, in the interests
of science, to Professor Ward of
Rochester, n. Y. and by him the
skeleton was prepared and mounted.
1t is now in the museum at Princeton
College; so that pussy remains as SER
viceable after death as 1t was her
warm will to be in life.

that does not matter if lie is the choice

There is no reason why he should

Death of an Old Comrade.

| Affecting Memories Called Up by the
Death of an Old Comrade.
With martial tread and muffied drums
a small band Of gray and grizzled veter-
ans bear away to the last camp ground,
all that is mortal Of dead comrade.
| No band of brilliant uniform, no pro-
cession in bright regalia leads the way
to the grave, but an escort of old sol
diers, who bear upon their bronzed
faces the insignia of war and upon their
bent forms the scars of battle. Who
can fathom the thought Of this little
band Of men as they march beside the
bier with slow and measured tread. A
thousand memories must come to them
of the dark days long ago-of the long,
long marches over the mountains,
through the marshes in the burning
sun, in the binding storm, the cheer
less camp ground in the chill twilight,
the shrill bugle call in the gray of early
morning the sharp command, the
charge, the rattle Of musketry, the sui
len roar Of cannon. the clash of arms,
the pallid faces Of the dead. the groans
of the dying and black smoke Of battle
hanging over all like pail OF death.
No secret order that holds men to-
gether in any brotherhood can compare
with the tie that binds the soldier to sol
der. No initiation however startling
can equal that through which the soldier
las passed. His ordeal takes him across
the field Of carnage into the jaws Of
death and every degree he takes is
sealed in human blood
Lower the dead hero into his last rest
ing place with gentle hands and let the
cold clods fall softly on the bosom that
once was barred to the enemy's bullets
in defense Of his country. Plant an ever
green on his grave, an emblem Of inn
mortality and place a stone at his head
with an inscription that in the great
hereafter viii outweigh the epitaph of
kings:-tle was a Soldier. II. Akert.

All the water that falls on AS land in
