DENNIS KEARNEY'S WORK.
From he Brooklun Times.

1f0'f tNN
Our Chinese residents are men who
took advantage of the h%ospitable well
come which republic, until it fell
under the influence of Dennis Kearney,
offered to "the downtrodden and the OPP
pressed of every color and of every cline"
to improve their condition. Unfortun-
ately, at first they were glad to get WORK,
even for low wages-they have got brave
lv over that now-and consequently they
provoked the wrath of Mr.. Kearney. Be-
s,sides. they were heather. n every
Christian tough and rowdy felt that he
owed to God the duty of throwing stones
at them. The story Of the anti-Chinese
agitation and The panic of fear into which
Mr.. Kearney contrived to plunge some
fifty millions of Americans lest they
competition of a few thousand ignorant
Chinese laborers. will. in the enlightened
days to come, be regarded rs one of the
most curious chapters of American his
tory.
These Chinese may belong to the very
lowest class of their countrymen, but, IL
so, it speaks volumes for the higher
classes, for there is no class IN the United
States more orderly, Industrious. temper
ate and thrifty than they are. And when
those who do not share IN Il vulgar preJu-
dice try to ameIiorate their herd condition
and TO open an avenue OF communication
through a common language between
them and their more favored nelghbors
it is Infamous that those who have not
humanity enough to help in the work
should try to hinder it by vile insinua-
tionS.

Democratic BIunders.


According to the Washington dis
patch in this mornings World, the
Democrats in the House of Repre-
s~entatives have determined to throw
overheard the platform on which they
floated to victory the last two years,
aud adopt one laden with free silver.
This seems to be a serious mistake.
It is the practical abandonment of
the struggle in Massachusetts-in the
Eastern States generally in fact-and
it places the New York Democracy at
a disadvantage which it may not be
able to overcome in 1892.
In return, we cannot see that the
party will gain anything. 1t cannot
be pretended that free silver will
change the complexion of a single
state or even that it will incline a
single doubtful state to the Demo-
cratic side. Assuming that one or
two picayune Western states could be
carried with the aid of free silver,
what would that be in comparison
with the loss of the great State of New
York.
All the recent Democratic victories
were carried ON a tripartite issue
radical taxation reform, sound mon ey
and clean government. In respect to
the first, Mr.. Crisp's programme
seems to be a fair compromise be-
tween principle and practicability.
If it were coupled with a sound de-
termination on silver 1t would make
victory tolerably certain next year.
But II the party bellies its promise
regarding the currency, the tariff
compromise will not be enough to
float 1t through a campaign. or course
the scandalous administration of
President Harrison remains; but a
campaign cannot be wholly made up
of scandals nowadays, our people
think too much, and least Of all by a
party which shows disregard of its
pledges.

Dop't Give It One DoIlar

Congress il to be asked for a loan of five
millions OF dollars In aid of the Worlds Fair
# should be promptly voted. The Columbian
Exhibition Is not q Chicago fair-it belongs to
the whole country. and it should be MADE a
grand success. at the public expense. New
York seems disposed to act a dog-in.manger part
towards the fair, but this will only rebound to
her discredit throughout the country STATE
Gazette.
Dog in the manager indeed! What
about Chicago? She would not let
the Fair go to New York, which could
and would support it. She, who can
not and will not support it. insisted
on having it. That seems to us
sufficiently in the style OF the dog in
the manager to shame even a Republi-
can organ.
The Fair is in no sense O. national
enterprise. 1t is the Fair OF Chicago
and her immediate encourage. The
moment Congress awarded the prize
to her. the country at large turned
its back on the thing with disgust
and dislike.
II the majority party in the present
House of Representatives votes one
dollar to the show, it will thereby
vote away a hundred thousand votes
from the Democratic party next fall.

why Not a Racetrack Bill2


Why are our Legislators afraid of the
racetrack question? Why cannot we
have a law to regulate and legalize in
this State the sport of horse racing?
Four or Ave years ago New York
State was in the same situation that
we are in now. The sport, or rather
its necessary concomitant Of betting,
was illegal or semi illegal, and all low
ers of the amusement were more or
less at the mercy of all the cranks and
extremists and busy bodies in the
State.
At last, the Legislature took the
matter in hand. 1t passed an excel
lent law. restricting the length of time
during which racing might take place
on each track, establishing proper
taxes for the privilege of racing, and
regulating the matter of betting. in
particular prohibiting it in all places
except on the track where the races
are actually run.
Why should we be behind New
York? Our present laws are a legacy
Of a blue nose era that has fortunately
passed away in most respects. Our
oppressive laws make all the scan

TRENTON. Dec. II, 1S91.-Vice Chancel-
lor Van Fleet filed an opipion In the case
of Benjamin Freeman v. Urilla Freeman.
The syllabus holds that a woman cannot
be the wife either de jure or de facto
of two different husbands at the same
time. An order for alimony and counsel
fees pendente lite can only be made in
favor of Il person appearing to be the
wife of the other party 90 the suit.
When. in answer to the allegation OF
marriage, facts are stated showing that
the party claiming to be the wife of the
other party was not competent, when the
marriage took place to contract matri-
mony, and did not thereby become a
wife, such facts must, in order to entitle
the applicant to an order for alimony aud
counsel fees pendente lite be denied or
explained to the satisfaction of the
Court.
The Court, in deciding whether an or
der for alImony and counsel fees shall be
made or not, must, as i'll other cases. pro-
Gee only upon legal evidence and reject
hearsay and any other species Of illegal
evidence. The application is denied. as
the proofs show the woman is not Free

The Hindoo Marriage Ceremony.
In Hindostan the marriage cere-
mony is short and simple, and no
counting precedes it. The arrange
ments are all made by the friends and
relatives of the principals. When
bride and groom are brought together
in many cases they see each other for
the first time. The bride playfully
skips toward him and seats herself
beside him. The priest ties a corner
of the brides veil to the grooIn's
shawl, and they are man and wife.
Effect of Occupation on the Face.
The facial expression of one is
always greatly affected by his occu-
patton. Intellectual and high pur-
suits invariably stamp the face with
noble, high foreheads, and a moral,
temperate life is always marked by
the benevolent, self disciplined look.
A bright, glad face is often more at
tractive than a handsome but ex-
pressionless face, and this can be OBJ
tanned by always being cheerful and
happy.
Beauty in women is often the
mobile, ex~pressionless type, which
very few care to love, even if they do
admire. It lacks expression and firm
ness, and this is due to the frivolous,
idle, wasteful society life which they
lead. If they had a purpose in life,
cultivated a knowledge of polite liter
allure, earnestly studied the arts and
sciences, their faces would take on a
very different appearance. 1t would
possess that indefinable grace and at
traction which counts for more than
all of the simple gifts OF nature.
Occupation makes the face, and
one should remember it daily. If the
work is trying and d~isagreeable it is
very likely to make one irritable, and
a worried, harassad, unpleasant
facial expression will gradually stamp
itself on the face. Beware of it

MI. Kclly's Drying Experience.
A man by the name of William f.
Kelly was treated to an involuntary
Turkish bath and had a narrow es-
cape from death yesterday at Smith
vile, a town which takes its name
from the Smith Manufacturing Com
pany, which is supposed to be mainly
responsible for the many Smiths put
upon the market in this State, and
which naturally ZONES under the fos-
tering care of the Mckinley bill as ar
infant industry. Mr. Kelly yesterday
went into the drying-room and was
accidentally locked in. Steam vas
turned on and the temperature ran
up to it's regular condition-3C0 de-
grees Farenheit. When Mr.. Kelly
managed to let his associates know
that he was locked in he was pretty
we'll dried-almost exhausted, in fact,

What is ScrofuIa

It is that impurity in the blood, which, accunu-
Eating in the glands of the neck. produces I'M
slightly humps or sweilings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
devclopes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
1t is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for ~scrofula combines the wo--t
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
it is the most general of all diseases OF affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from 1t.
How can it be cured? BY taking Hoods Sarsat
parilla, which, by the cures 1t has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed. has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsapari.la is unequailed, and some of tho
cures it has effected are really wonderful. II you
