Amend this Bill.


Assembly Bill No. 81, introduced
by MI. Puster, seems to have gone
through the House without a clear
understanding. on the part Of the
Assemblymen, as to its opera
tions and effect. 1t authorizes
the sale at private sale of bonds
to be issued for the redemption
of maturing bonds. Its probable
purpose is to facilitate the sale and
negotiation of the securities which
are to take the place of the million
and a half DR. more of Jersey City
bonds that are soon to become pay
able. The sale is to be made at pri-
yate sale and at not less than par.
The act through a probable oversight
omits to enact that the interest al
ready accrued upon them shall also
be included in the purchase
price. Suppose the new bonds,
dated, as they must be, at
the commencement of the fiscal
year, are not sold until the middle of
next month. There will already have
accrued upon them nearly three
months of interest which this act
seems to take no account of. 1t makes
a difference of $25, 600 whether the in
terest is to be added to the face
Of the bonds on the upset price at the
sale. And now that the attention of
the Legislature has been called to the
matter the bill will probably be so
amended as to save the city the sacri-
flee of this great sum.

woman has cared enough for a topic
to induce her to trouble herself to
learn its phrases. argues the posi-
ledge OF approaching further know
bility.
After all, the matter resolves itself
into the question, For what purpose
is study, general or particular, pur-
sued? Is it not to widen the views,
TO strengthen the mind. to deepen
the synpathies7 Cannot these OBJ
jects be as well achieved by general

Attempt to Break Jail.

Special 70 NE jersey CltD Nelrs.
TRENTON, Feb. 25, 1s9l.-A plan to break
Jail was discovered this morning in the
Mercer County Prison. John Farrell. the
notorious young man, twice convicted
for assaulting small girls, Hart Evering-
ham, also waiting sentence for assault,
John Snyder, and John Bierman were
all occupying the same cell. They re-
moved a stone and were tunneling into
an adjoining cell which was empty, and
some night they were going to sand bag
the night Waterman and escape. Deputy
Warden Price, who is sick in bed, heard
the men at work and caused an investi-
cation. The men are now in separate
cells with chain and ball on them. The
present warden, j. S.. Muirhead, is now
under indictment for allowing a prisoner
to escape.

Time 10 Pause. Gentlemen.

The Legislature IS going further in
the line of centralizing propositions
than we could wish to see in a body
ruled by democrats. Home rule is, after
all, the strongest principle of the
Democratic party, and the chief
ground of difference between the Re-
publican party and the people of the
United States is that this party tends
continually in the direction of CEN
tralized rule with very strong
executive powers.
1t is unquestionable that some of
the c~entralizing bills are good and re-
quired by the needs of the public SER
vice. But there are too many OF them.
They seem to indicate a party tend
ency, the reverse of democratic.
The Republican press is not slow to
note this. The State Gazette had a
caustic paragraph yesterday, in which
it very plainly said that if the Re-
publican party made some of the
propositions now advocated by the
Democracy, it would be accused of
schemes of GENERALIZATION. and of
building up an ~autocracy on the ruins
of the Republic.
OF course, the Democratic party
means no wrong. Its principles are
eternal, and the great body of the
party will always stand by them; but
it will be well for its immediate
representatives not to lose sight of
them. 1t is a mistake to give the
enemies of the party any peg on which
to hang calumnious charges.

/ do not hesitate to say, with due
Difference to the judgment of others,
that in my opinion, it is important to
the well being of society that the
study Of medicine by Christian women
should be continued and extended.
The prejudice that allows women to
enter the profession of nursing and
excludes them from the profession of
medicine cannot be too strongly CEN
sured, and its existence can be ex-
planned only by the force of habit.
1t has been urged that women do
not as q rule possess the intellectual
powers of men, but their ability to
pursue the usual medical studies has
been sufficiently demonstrated, and 1t
is admitted, even by those who on
cede to men a higher order of intellect
and greater powers OF ratiocination,
that what women may lack in that di-
rection seems to be supplied by that
logical instinct with which they
have been endowed by God.
IL is evident also that if female
nurses may with propriety attend men
as we'll as women, that privilege can
not reasonably be withheld from the
female physician. Indeed the position
of the nurse might beregarded as open
to much graver objections, inasmuch
as the physician makes but a transient
visit to the patient, while the nurse
occupies the sick room night and day.
The attendance of female physicians
upon women is often of incalculable
benefit. Much serious and continued
suffering is undergone by women, and
many beginnings of grave illness
are neglected because of the sense of
delicacy which prevents them from
submitting to the professional SER
vices of men.
There is also an infinite number of
cases, known to all who have been
concerned in charitable or reforma-
tory work, in which no influence or
assistance can be so effectual as that
of a physician who is also q woman
and a Christian.
The alienation of suffering for
women of all classes which would re-
suit from the presence among us of
an adequate number of well trained
female physicians cannot but be evil
dent to all; but | wish to emphasize
as strongly as possible the moral in
fuence OF such a body, than which
there could be no more potent factor
in the moral regeneration of society,"
Cardinal Gibbons in Century.

The Shakespeare bracelet is one of
the cheapest and perhaps the most

comes as a simple band of silver or

On another bangle is lettered:-"To
