THE Paterson Press is opposed to
the letter carriers proposition that
they shall be pensioned after twenty
years service, on the ground that
such a claim would be just Is valid in
every other department of labor.
Granted. But who is to blame for
these frequent appeals for the benefit
of the nations generositys Why. the
party that inaugurated and still keeps
up the pretence of paternal govern
ment. Congress having shown dis
position to pension every man, woman
and child who ever heard or read Of
the war, certainly the letter carriers
may be pardoned for thinking they
ought to come in somewhere along
the line.
But however Objectionable their
proposition may be, it fades into in
significance when compared with the
proposition of Fred. Douglass that
every freedman should now be given
the forty acres and the mule the
Republican party promised him
when it hoped to steal the Southern
States from the Democrats.
While THE NEWS believes the pen
sion business has been largely over
done it does not object to any man
who considers himself entitled to a
pension being heard. The Douglasses
and the Grangers have thrown about
the situation great deal of humor
that might otherwise have been lost.
Incidentally it may be mentioned
that Major Mckinley is working the
pension racket in Ohio for all it is
worth. And Raum is helping him.
Together they are trying to bury the
tariff out sight.
Religious Amusements in Trenton.
Trenton is never very lively town
except when it is running the Legis-
lathre as an extras attraction. just
now, however, the place seems to be
as dead-and-alive as a depopulated
cemetery. At least such an idea is
warranted by the fact that the State
Gazette groups a number of church
events under the head of ''amuse-
ments." Possibly Trenton churches
may be humorous places, but in other
cities houses of worship are looked
upon as somewhat serious adjunct
of sublunary affairs to which people.
turn for religious consolation rather
than for fun.
Still it is largely matter of taste
When the reverend Talmage gyrates
in the pulpit it can not be denied that
lie is amusing, but that doesn't make
his church temple of Thespis in his
absence.
But there is one thing for which the
Gdzette is to be commended. 1t evil
IDENTIFY does not intend that the
churches of its city shall be forever
draped in habiliments of woe, as il
religious duty were painful incident
of life to be performed with wailing
and sorrow and gnashing Of teeth.
If ''the Lord loves cheerful giver''
why should He not hold in especial
esteem a cheerful worshipper? The
Gazette should continue its efforts to
enIiven the lot of its local saints. 1t
might make them dance by touching
them up with hot coal occasionally.

If drugs are to be administered, and
they are displeasing to the taste, no
effort should be made to deceive the
child. Some mothers will pretend to
taste such doses and tell their children
that they are nice, sweet. etc. This
trick may work well once, but never
again, for the. child so dishonesty
and contemptibly treated will always
remember it.
In word. there should be no coax
ing. hiring or threatening children
when medicine is to be given; down il
should go without whimper. Such
early obedience is easily taught If the
mother takes the proper course and
enters on it early. There are many
children who will swallow castor oil
or other nauseating medicines al
readily as milk.
But. unfortunately, this is not the
rule. The infinite majority need two

they are being dosed, and even then
they manage to spit out most OF what
is given them. m.-B0Ston Herald.

Rernhardt IN AastralIa.


Sarah Bernhardt was so pleased
with the ovation she received on ar
irving in Melbourne. says the London
Star. that before she had recovered
from the fatigue consequent on long
journey she favored the local reporters
with a couple of columns OF
vivacious conversation. She told
them she was educated at the con-
vent of the Grand Champ, Versailles.
and there she became enamored OF the
classic authors, such as Racine, Mo
liere. Bolleau, which the French stu
dents are expected to know by heart,
and the study of which awoke in her
an irresistible desire to endeavor to
earn histrionic fame. Her family
were bitterly opposed to her wish to
go on the stage, but when, as the only
alternative. she threatened to become
a nun, they withdrew their opposition
and allowed her to go the Conserva-
tore.

A remarkable race with locomo-
tive was made by Mrs. DR.. Rause Of
York, Pa, few days ago. She was
crossing the Northern Central Rail-
road tracks seated in phaeton, and
driving a spirited horse. As the horse
reached the track the Hanover ex-
press, dashing at mile a minute rate,
was sighted bearing down on them.
The horse became frightened and
turned down the track ahead of the
engine. 1t was a race for life and
the plucky woman won.
The phaeton bobbed up and down
on the ties like a bandbox. Every
minute the engine drew nearer. Mrs
Rause kept her seat with difficulty,
and the engineer shut his eyes ex-
pecting every minute that the loco
motive would crash into the carriage.
He reversed the engine and trusted TO
luck When the engine was within
three feet of the phaeton it stopped.
The horse slowed up and it was
easily checked after a race of a quarter
of a mile. The passengers left the
train and went to the lady's assistance.
1t was found that she had escaped
serious injury, having only been
bruised about the face and body by
humping against the sides OF the
phaton. The horse and carriage were
removed from the track, and Mrs.
Rause drove home without assistance.
