 It is expected that general law for the suppression of drunkenness will be enacted and put in force in all the states of the German Confederation before the year is ended. A bill on the subject has been prepared by the Prussian govern ment, and has received the approval of the emperor, who, from the day he suc- ceeked to the throne, has persistently de- manded some restrictions upon the sale of intoxicating liquors. For nearly three years his ministers have been engaged in collecting statistics and evidence on the points concerned, and the decisions at last arrived at have already been sanc- toned by the Bundesrath. The bill de- crees the withdrawal of saloon licenses and the imposition of fines upon saloon keepers who encourage persons of inebriate habits. The drunkards themselves will be fined if they are poor, so as to prevent them from indulging in the vice of intem- perance, and terms of imprisonment are to be imposed in cases where a monetary fine would presumably not have the de, sired effect

hospital on Washington Heights. 4 man brought sick cat from Lexington avenue and left it with the remark: Elf anything happens to that cat my my wife will leave me"
 An artist recently sketehed the IF cats now in the hospital, and the picture will show the mstron feeding them the twenty five pounds of meat they sometimes get for dinner. On the day the reporter called the cats had had kidney stew, and they were all sitting about licking their chops and washing their faces when he sat down in chair among them.
 About fifty cats have been killed because they were incurably diseased, and only one has been taken away. All those in the hos pital now are in good health, if not fat Four dogs have been cured of the mange, and the eight now in the hospital are well enough to be discharged.
 Much of the food which has been given to the hospital cats and dogs during the last three months has come from the Murray Hill hotel and from Ferdinand's hotel in West Twenty-third street. Mrs. Edwards made arrangements for quantity of scraps at each place and sends for the food. Some times the cats have fish on Friday. Much of their meat is raw or nearly so.
 All the cats and dogs live in two rooms each of which contains 8 stove, and all the animals run in and ont of the house as they wish.

Strong Fight Being Made There
 Against the Nuisance.
 Philadelphia Special to the New York Press
 The crusade against the trolley system so vigorously carried on by the Press is followed with interest here, where a strong fight has also been made against similar desecration of the streets. The enterpri- sing business men of this city who have
 become affiliated with the citizens commit
 tee have pushed their campaign against
 that unsightly substitute for rapid transit
 known as the trolley system of electric
 street cars so vigorously and with such
 determination and energy that it is now
 believed by many of those interested in
 the system that it would be very unwise to make an attempt to shove the different ordinances now before the city councils. This work has been done in spite of the determined opposition of the two great street car monopolies, the Philadelphia Traction company and the Peoples Line, and the members of councils who are more
 interested in furthering private schemes
 than in the good of the city. Some time
 ago the Peoples Line, which operates the Germantown street railroad in that su-
  to allow them to run their cars by other motive power than horses.
 This ordinance was quickly followed by ordinances granting the same company the right to run their Girard avenue line and their Germantown branch by the trolley wire system. No sooner had the matter | been preached than the residents of Ger
 mantown objected, and meeting of busi- ness men was called at the offices of Dill wyn Wistar. Several other ordinances | had been presented in the interim, and it
 was seen that the attempt was to be made to run the various horse lines by an cleo | tric motor, otherwise known as the trolley l system. The movers of the committee accordingly formed permanent organiza- ton, and circular was issued to promi-
 nent business men asking them to join the committee.
 In few days answers had been re-
 ceived from many of the most substantial business men, among them being Rev. L. E. Albert, Theodore M. Allen, Edward P. Allinson, Richard l.. Austin, William Ar | rott, John Baird, George E. Bartol, R. Dale Benson, James s. Riddle, Charles H. Biles, J. Bayard Henry, Charles W. Hen ", William H. Halnes, Mason Hirsh, Will liam B. Irvine, Nathaniel E. Janney, The odore Justice, 0. L.

A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS

A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS. It is well to pay little attention to some of the ways in which the Farmers alliance is working to help its members. In Georgia the alliance has good grip, and the legis- lature of that State recently passed law abolishing attorneys fees in actions of con- tract upon mortgage notes for money loaned farmers upon their crops. This bill was attacked in both brances on the ground that it weakened the creditors chance of recovery upon defaulted notes; but this seemed to be it's merit in the eyes of it's advocates, and it passed by large majority.
 But it is in Kansas that the honesty of the alliance shines most brightly. No al iance bills have yet passed the legislature, but stay law is proposed forbidding foreclosures of defaulted mortgages for two years in spite of the agree ment they contain; one provid- ing the right of redemption for three years of all property sold under foreclos- ure, and a law requiring the mortgagee to pay the proportional amount of the taxes on the mortgaged property, represented by the amount of his mortgage. The chattel make mortgaged property more easily transferable by the mortgagor; interest is to be reduced on all loans to 6 per cent. under penalty of forfeiture of principal and interest for any higher rate; and all sales of land under foreclosure to be invalid if the price brought is not sufficient to cover the judgment and costs.
 Good judges of the power of the alliance in Kansas think that all these bills will be- come laws. But if the Kansas farmers want any more eastern money they will do well not to insist on their passage.

BETTER TIMES FOE US ALL

AA
 It is a cold day, as the boys say, when some new scheme for making the hnman race prosperous and happy is not put forth The latest is the production of Augustus Jacobson, and he promises ''bet- ter times for us all" if we will do as he tells us to.
 His plan is to maintain at the public ex- pense, or rather at the expense of the rich, schools for manual, scientific and literary training for the youth of both sexes be- tween the ages of twelve and twenty. To enable the children of the poor to receive this training Mr. Jacobson proposes to pay them at rates graduated from $50 a year for children of both sexes between twelve and thirteen to $500 for youth of both sexes between nineteen and twenty. By this means he would induce common labor CTS and mechanics who need the services of their children to keep them at school. He lays particular stress upon manual or artisan training.
 To meet the enormous expense MT. Ja- cobson proposes a progressive tax on es- UaIeS. Ills scneme IS to tax estates De- tween $25, ,00O and $50, ,0O0 of per cent, between $50, 1000 and s1O0,O f per cent between s1oO,OO0 and ssOO, ,00o per cent, and rate 1 per cent. higher for each S100,000 up to 50 per cent. on S5,0O0.00C or any larger estate. Thus the tax on an estate of $1 ,000, 900 would be at the rate oi 10 per cent; on one of $1,700,000 r pc, cent; on one of 2,500,O0 9 per cent; or one of $3, 10O,O0O 31 per cent, and so on Under this arrangement a larger estate might bring less to the heirs than a smaller | one. Thus the tax on an estate of s199, 999 would be taxed $1,999.99, and the heirs would have s197, ,999, while an estate of $200, 900 would be taxed s4, ,000, and the heirs would have only $196,000, or about s2,0OO less.
 This is good one. In the immorta words of Editor Dana,
 We may be happy yet!

THE CAT-AND-DoG HOSPITAL.
Some Trouble fin the Management
 The Work of the Institution.

Some Trouble fin the NIanagement-
 The Work of the Institution.
 From the New York Evening Post.l
 New York's first and only hospital for cats and dogs seems in some respects to be in rather bad way. The building occu- pied by the hospital is house at the end of the cable line on Washington Heights, very old and very cold. The cats have not had milk for long time, and it is said they do not every day have enough to eat. This condition of things was described to a re- porter of The Evening Post by the matron of the cats, and attested by two women who happened to be visiting the hospital when the reporter called.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Conklin, the matron, said that she was engaged when the hospital was started three months ago, to take the immediate care of the institution until the 1st of next May. She was engaged by Mrs. Sara J. Edwards of No. 12j West Twenty eighth street. Mrs Edwards, Mrs. Conk- lin says, paid five dollars for her expenses of moving to the hospital, and in many other ways has recognized the matron's ell gagement. Mrs. Conkiin was to receive the sum of five dollars a month, with food fuel, and rooms in the old house. About December 13 Mrs. Conkliu asserts, Mrs Edwards stopped her buying food on the ground that il could be got down town more satisfactorily. The matron has re solved to ''hold the fort till May and tc sue for her alleged rights She says that the superintendent, Van Norton, who makes the straw beds for eight homeless dogs and otherwise cares for them, has not been | '. .. IL. ~ conditions of his employment
 Mrs Conklin made the further state ment that Mrs Edwards would soon retire from the management, and be succeeded by Miss Carrie Ewen of No. East Forty eighth street Mrs. c. c. Devide, she said | had been very active in establishing and
 maintaining the hospital.
 Some philantrophic woman sent two | tons of coal to the hospital not long ago | the only extra attention the hospital seems | to have received for long time. There is talk of repairing the house, fitting mp ele. vator, and separate beds and cages for the cats and dogs, but the property which the hospital occupies is the subject of hti. gation, which will not be ended before next summer. Then new location may be necessary. It is probable that the hospi tai will continue in existence until that time, for one man has given his word that if the income of the institution shall fall below fifty dollars a month at any time ht | will make up the difference.
 During the first three months of its ca reer the cat-and-dog hospital has giver nursing, shelter, and food to about two hundred needy cats and dozen homeless | dogs Some of the cats have been sent bN express from Newburgh, from Manueth il Ruthland county, and from Brooklyn, Jer sey City, and other points near here. 4 Mrs. Ford of Brooklyn, who seems to hav' been maintaining eat and-dog hospital o her own, became very i'll not long ago, ana therefore sent twelve of her cats to tn,
