The 10th Legislature.

The Legislators have got TO Work ana
several bills were passed this week. In
the Senate on Monday evening a reso.
luton was presented which had been
recently adopted by the Warren county
Board of Agriculture, asking that SAL
aries of public officials where they ex-
exceed $1,000 annually, be reduced one
third and that :he legal rate of interest
be 5 per cent. Mr.. Miller introduced
a bill to appropriate $1,000 for the prop.
agation of shell fish from riparian
fund. MI. Butcher introduced u bill
allowing Superintendent of Schools
their travelling expenses in addition to
their salaries and providing that their
salaries shall be 12t cents per child,
provided that the salary shall not be
less than $500 nor more than 81 1900 and
where there are more than 80 schools
to visit the salary shall not be less than
$1,000. Children in cities having sup.
erintendents not to be counted. Mr..
Barker, sets off part of Lands town
ship, Cumb. Co. into Franklin town.
ship, Gloucester--county.
The Senate passed bills allowing
township committees to apply unex-
pended balance to any lawful purpose;
appropriating 81, 900 annually for the
weather service. The bill making it
unlawful for.township committees to
grant licenses was indefinitely with
drawn.
In the House there was quite an ami
mated discussion on Senate SO, when 1t
came up on third reading. The bill
takes the licensing power from bor-
oughs and places it in the courts. Mr..
Ross was the first TO speak in opposi.
ti0n. lie declared that it was ii dan
gerous measure, and six boroughs in
Cape May county were almost unanim-
GUS in their opposition to it. lie plead
ed with the Democrats to respect the
wishes of his constituents. Mr.. "IIeaney
favored the bill and ridiculed the futile
attempts of the minority 10 oppose the
passage of bills favored by the majority.
Mr., Stokes said the p~hraSeOlogy of the
bill justified its defeat. The bill abridg-
ed the rights of the people and made it
possible for temperance boruughs To
have licensed saloons thrust upon them.
Nneland, he said, at its recent cleo.
ton, only cast So votes in favor of lie
ense, yet the proposed bill would do
away with home rule in that locality
and make licensed saloons possible.
The bill was passed by IA vote of 33 90
q, the Messrs. Warne, Honce, Strahan
and Davidson, Democrats, voting with
the Republicans in the negative.
On Tuesday the bill requiring con-
stables to take their prisoners before
the nearest Justice Of the Peace was
handled roughly in the Senate. 1t is
supposed to be in the interest of Gut
tenburg. Senator Gardner said he
could see 10 merit in the bill. The Re-
publicans voted against it and they
were helped by Senators Miller, Nc
Mickle, Cornish, Martin, Butcher and
Barker, making the vote II to s. The
bill vas killed, much to the surprise of
those behind it, The vote is taken as
an indication of the feeling on the race
track question, as the Democratic Sena-
tors against the bill all come from the
rural districts.

The Trenton True american said:
The race track mel were again on hand
Monday night, but they are in a mud
die over their proposed bill. In fact
the whole thing is declared off. Den
mis- Mclaughlin, the great head of the
Guttenburg track, said to "a True
American reporter that the other tracks
had notified him that they would not
stand by the agreement entered into
last week. In consequence of this Mr..
Mclaughlin will not aid them in pass
ing any of their bills, and without his
help they can do nothing. lie says he
does not need legislation, and so he
will not let the others do as they please.
ave are working against them and
they against u.s." he said. This means
that no bill is likely to come in this
week at any rate. The only chance
there is of success for a bill is in per-
feet harmony among the tracks. Just
the cause of the unwillingness of the
other tracks to stand by the agreement
could not be learned. Mr.. HOnce, of
Monmouth, who is looking alter the
interests of Monmouth Park, when ask
ed what he knew about any possible
legislation, said that he feared it was
farther off than ever before since the
opening of the session. He said the
people of Monmouth wanted racing and
he wanted to see some law that would
permit it. lie thought they would
prefer a law that would allow them to
vote upon the matter, though the Free
holder bill might suit.
Senator Marsh thinks that the pro-
posed bill allowing the matter of rae
ing 10 be decided by the Board of Free
holders would he of little benefit to the
Linden people. lie says that the peo-
pie outside of the sporting fraternity
are largely opposed 10 racing in Union
county, and the Freeholders would vote
accordingly unless a large amount of
money was used in the election of the
board.

Candlemas a

There is one day in February which
so far surpasses the others as wealth
er prophet that the respect due it has
spread over mary lands and has lasted
from the old, old times to the present.
This day is the second, known a. Can
dlemas Day, and was looked for
on Tuesday of this week. On that day
the Romans used to offer candles to
Februar, the mother of Mars, and when
the Christians gained control of fes-
rivals, as well as of everything else,
they caused the candles to he offered to
the Virgin and they called the festival.
But the chief fame of Candiemas Day
is derived from its power, which has
already been referred to, Of foretelling
the general nature of the rest of the
winter. The signs, which have been
everywhere and in all times the same,
are these: If the sun shines on Can
dlemas Day, the winter will yet be
long and cold, while if Candlemas Day
is cold and cherries, with snow or rain,
the Writer is already nearly over. These
have been expressed in many languages
in the homely verse that is usual iii pro-
verbs. A Scotch cOuplet says:
HCanlemas is fair and clear
Therell be twa winters in the year.
A more comp extensive formula, also
Scotch, is this:
uCandelemas Day be dry and fair.
The half o. winters to come and MAR;
II Candlemas Day be wet and foul,
The half o. winters game at fule.
A form which was current in New
England within the memory Of the
writer and is probably SO still, was as
nearly as he can recall il:
As far as the sun shines in on Candlemas Day,
SO far will the snow blow in before May;
AS far as the snow blows In on Candlemas Day,
So far will the sun shine in before May.
Ten minutes of sunshine or sDow
would of curse be enough for The
literal fulhlment of this prophecy, but
the meaning OF it is obviously the same
as that of the others. One of the most
interesting variations Of this superstl-
tuition is that which connects it with
the movements of certain animals. 1T
is the German belief that the badger
comes out of his hole on this day to
observe the weather. If it finds the
sun shining it hurries back to its shell
ter, and it the day proves foul it stays
out, in the confidence OF All early
change. In this country the same be-
lief has attached to the ground hog or
woudchuck, which is said to come out
on the ID of February to look for its
" shadow. If il sees its shadow it
retreats, but if it casts no shadow on
the ground it joyfully disports ITSELF

all news papers from the mail contain
ing advertisements of lotteries. That
will be a severe blow to the Louisiana
lottery and hailed will much delight
by the moral and and order loving peo-
vie of the nation. The Court said ut
could not regard the right to operate
a lottery as Il fundamental right ln-
fringed by the act, nor was it able to
see that Congress could I've held in its
enactment TO have abridged the free
dom of the press. The circulation oil
newspapers was not prohibited, but the
Government declined itself to become
an agent in the circulation of printed
matter which it regarded as injurious
to the people," Owing to the decision
John T. Morris, the manager of the
Louisiana lottery has addressed a let
ter to the people of Louisiana stating
he will not accept a charter even If
passed at the April election, by a big
majority. Morris says he is compelled
to withdraw because OF the recent de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court, and by a desire to avoid a con-
flict over the question in the State.

Il am astonished that Mr.. Kiehle is
superannuated. He don't look any older
than he did ten years ago-no gray hairs
to be seen on his head. As to his being
arbitrary. that is all bosh. He is an ex

LAST OF THE DALToNs.

The intelligence comes from Kansas
that EMMETT DALTON is in fair way to
escape conviction and punishment for
his crimes through inability to secure a
jury to try him. There were brave citi-
zens in CoIfeyyille once on time, but
the ginger seems to have left them.
Not one OF them is willing to go into the
jury box and contribute to the yery
simple and easy result of returning a
Kansas verdict Of guilty and orter
hang" against the surviving DALToN.
Hundreds of these citizens of Coffey
vile and adjacent townships have been
examined for jury service in this case,
but no jury has been chosen, and an.
parently none can be. Every man has
his private opinion as to the guilt of the
accused, and nearly every man prompt
ly swears that no amount of evidence
could alter that opinion. On this and
similar pleas they all avoid the danger
GUS honor of placing the moose around
the bold bandits neck; and as no
change of venue can be taken, the trial
is likely to 20 by default, and the pris-
oper be discharged.
1t would be severe commentary on
Kansas methods if EMMETT DALTON
should really escape the hanging he so
richly deserves. He was caught red
handed. and there was wholesale fu-
neral of Coffeyyille citizens as a result
of the expert craftsmanship of himself
and his brothers. He dealt death out
with unStinting hand to others. anl he
fool-hardily courted it-for himself. He
should have it, at the end of hang
mans rope.
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-12-30

We have had in this state many Strik-
Ing instances of the mixture of business
and politics, always to The benefit of
business and the detriment of politics.
We are now treated to a display of the
mixture of education with politics, and
the same result may be safely expected.
When any business is of that kind that
it must be mixed with political action
to make it success, it may be safely
set down that the business is one whose
development should hot be encouraged
or should be left to care for itself, and
ii makes no difference whether the bus
mess is an infant industry or a state
prison contract. 1t is one Of those mix
lures in which two good ingredients are
spoiled in the shake-up. Education is
no exception. By itself it is perhaps
the greatest good civilization has given
us. But it must be taken as Ken
tuckians take their beverage, straight.
Mix it with politics and you get some
thing that is not education and is
mighty poor politics. Education and
religion are alikein this. To keep them
pure don't mix them with politics.
The state superintendent wishes an
other term. He has held the place for
tY eIye years, long enough toinsurc gem
eral recognition of his fitness if he pos
sess it. 1t is q political appointment;
that is, no Democrat has ever held it in
this state since its creation. No Dem
Ocrat expects it at Gov. NELSON'S s hands,
Any effort towards aiding the superin-
tendent i'll holding his place is poltt-
zeal effort.
The county superintendent of the
state are in session. Also the state
teachers Association. They are a
numerous aud influential body. 1t is
supposed they meet here to discuss edu.
catiOnal methods for the Improvement
Of the latter. Such 4 purpose is laud-
able aud beneficial. But since they
convened up to their adjournment both
bodies have been worked TO help the re-
appointment of the superintendent. He
is at the official head of the school sys-
TEN. He can help or injure those below
him. One member-elect to congress no
doubt owes his present position to the
desire Of the superintendent to prevent
HIM from being apostolic contestant for
his place. When he was removed from
the normal staff he went into politics
and is congressman. But that is an
other story.
A resolution was introduced declar-
ing that the association would not per-
nit itself to be used to advance any per-
sons interests. 1t was laid on the table:
few wished to antagonize a man who
might be their chief. They got into a
row which would have ornamented a
ward caucus over another resolution in
dorsing the superintendent for reap
p0Intm2nt. 1t got lost in motion to adj
lourn. So the teachers and the county
superintendent associations, organ
lied solely for educational work, went
into politics; were pulled into it by the
state superintendent. 1t was bad mix
ture. Education is hurt; politics is a bit
muddier than ever, and the chance Of
the reaPpointment Of the superinten-
dent is not advanced an inch.
