PARIS is emphatically the supreme originator of novelties. It's latest pro- duction in this line is pending ''strlke" of the police, who threaten that, unless their wages are raised, they will Ego out"-or rather not go out at all,-on the eve of May day,-the very time when the anarchists are promising to make trouble for the authorities. Paris has been, for centuries so thoroughly "policed," in every detail of life, that it is impossible to imagine how the gay capitol could get along if the system were to suddenly suspend operations. The substitution of the military has been suggested; but it should not be forgotten that Napoleon the Third, Louis Philip, Charles the Tenth, and some of their predecessors tried this plan-with disastrous results to them selves.

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.
To He Convened in Extraordinary Session TO-night-The Reapporttonment.


 TO-night-Ths ReapPOrttOnment. ALBANY, N. Y., April 25. - Both branches of the Legislature meet to- night at S:30 o'clock in extraordinary session, and Governor Flower will send in a proclamation directing it to act upon the new census, and in accordance with it's findings to reapportion the State into new Senate and Assembly disA tricts.
 It is expected that the census com plete will be printed and on every mem- ber's desk at that time, and that active debate on the new districts will begin at once. The division of the State into new Assembly and Senate districts is about completed, the leaders having stayed in the city and worked hard on the formulation of the bill to be intro duced.
 In it's present shape, however. the measure is subject to few changes, be- cause the majority of the political rep resentatives of the counties are in Al bany to-day consulting with the lead CTS to see how they have been appor- tioned. So far as known, representation will be upon the basis of 180, 0,O00 fol each Senatorial district, 45,O00 to each Assembly district.

SOME figures illustrative of tho way pensions are granted are enlightening. Take the two states of Illinois and Indi- ana, ranged side by side, as examples. Illinois has a population of 3,826, 1854; Indiana a population of 2,192,14 Yet Illinois has fewer pensioners on the pen- sion rolls than Indiana. Why? Says an exchange: It is shrewedly suspected because Indiana is a close state in poli- tics, while Illinois is a state which the elections are not 80 nearly balanced in the results as to make it an object to create pensioners there. There is no other way apparent for accounting for this discrepancy. Taking into account the actual soldiars sent to the war, and the conditions are not altered. The quota furnished by Illinois was 259, ,097; that of Indiana but 196, ,363; yet Illinois, with 65, 900 more soldiers has 5000 less pensioners on the rolls. Or, to state it in another way, of her enlisted soldiers Illinois has only about one soldier in six on her pension rolls, while Indiana, as nearly as can be estimated, has one in every 3b men. This exhibition of figures lets in flood of light upon the pension business. It is a matter largely of politics in both parties.

The victim of one of the latest tragss dies of the general type of the Deacon affair ct Cannes--the scene in this case being Yokohama, and the participants, as usual, high in social position-is re ported as explaining a few houra before his death that he had been guilty of nothing more than ''a harmless Airta~ ton" with the wife of the naval officer who shot him. The papers have been full these last two or three weeks of suicides, murders and attempted mur- ders, all of one general type, and all tending to enforce one lesson. This les son, says the Boston Journal, reduced to its simplest form, is that there is no such thing as 'sa harmless filtration" with married woman. It would seem to be about time that society, in all it's strata, realized that fact, and acted upon 1t, unless we are to have an indefinitely prolonged series of these loathsome tragedies. It is of the essence of hirta- tion, which is sufficiently dangerous pastime at best, that the parties to it are at liberty to bestow their affections where they please. They may trifle with their emotions or those of others, and in so doing they take a serious risk, but no irritation can, by any stretch of language, be described as harmless when the parties to itwould not be free, if they chose, to entertain toward each other the genuine feelings of exclusive affection which it pleases them, in the caprice of the moment, to simulate.
 It follows that no married woman, and, for that matter no married man, is at liberty to play with edged tools after this fashion. Whenever it is done 6 pathway is opened up which leads straight toward disgrace and misery. Il may happen that the course is checked before the brink of ultimate peril fl reached, or it may be that it is pursued suit. But in either case the sin upoI which the moralist should put his fin ger lies far back of the public dis closures and scandals. It lies with tho beginning of those freedoms and famil iarities, which, condoned in some case. as part of filtration" should nevel be permissible among people who have assumed the ties and obligations of mar riage. It is time for more plain speak ing and clear judgment at this point It is not enough to deplore these miser able tragedies which fill so large { space in the public press, or to attemp rightly to apportion blame or sympath, in particular instances. Society, anG especially refined, intelligent, ant Christian society, should be nor
 prompt to put it's ban upon all those de moralizing practices which are tn
 fountainhead of these crimes. Let u
 have done with mawlxish sentimental ty, and enforce anew the old and simpl doctrines of truth and purity and Toy alty. and the avoidance of even the az pearance of evil

IN answer to the DEMOCRAT the Hart ford Post refers to the census bulletin just published to show that during a period of ten years of protection, wages in the woolen industry have increased over fifty per cent. The accuracy of the recent census has been seriously questioned, but assuming that the sta tistics regarding woolen manufacture are correct, yet the Post has not answered our question. The Mckinley bill has prepared the way for unscrupu- lous manufacturers to squeeze the ambi. tion out of their employees, as in the case of the plush manufacturers of Bridgeport. When the workmen pro- tested against the low wages they were receiving they were told to be less ex- travagant in their mode of living; to strike against high rent, ,and board them selves for $25O week. The Mckinley bill places a duty of 110 per cent on foreign plush, and it costs $5.5O per yard to land English plush on our shores. The American manufacturers can make the goods for $325 cents a yard and yet since the Mckinley law took effect wages have been reduced in three of the largest plush factories in the country. This is only one instance out of hundreds. If the Post will take the trouble to interview the mechanics of it's own town it will find that in ten years wages have been reduced at least ItWenty-fiVe Der cent

Boston and Maine.

tits understood that the Boston and
Maine railroad has in contemplation some
important changes in the line of its
Northern Division at it's upper terminus.
AS the road now runs from East to West
Lebanon it passes through the central
part of the village of Lebanon Centre.
Between the two points first named the
distance is some eight miles, and upon
this route there are dozen or more
bridges It is desired to get rid of these
bridges, probably for one reason to save
the trouble and expense Of keeping them
in repair, and to do this change in the
route is under consideration. For the
new line a survey has been made from
East to West Lebanon, which is said to
have demonstrated that the plan is en-
tirely feasible. The distance will be no
greater than by the present route, and
there are no bad grades to overcome. 1t
will be necessary to carry the road across
the Mascoma River and about a quarter
of mile to the northward of its present
location.
The Boston and Maine officials are also
considering the location for new station
in Newburyport.
