The Retail Grocers' Union Is still striving
to secure the adoption Of Q reform through
which fruits and vegetables shall be sold By
weight instead OF By measure. and which shall
put a check upon those deceitful packers,
shippers. and wholesalers who give false
measure. The union has not yet. however.
been able to overcome tho opposition to this
reform.
There is a bill before the New Jersey Legis.
lature providing for the legalization Of q
standard peach basket which shall be 12x
inches in height. 12ls inches In width at the
top. and hold just half a bushel OF peaches, It
is known as the Peach Growers bill, and is
favored by the adversaries Of sale by weight.
We have already expressed our opinion
that the measuring system is. on the
whole. less satisfactory than the weigh-
ing system desired by the retail grocers.
and which has been adopted In many
parts OF this country. But II that system can
not yet be obtained in New Jersey. It is GER
tainly desirable that q standard measure
should be provided there. not only for peaches,
but for all fruits and vegetables 1t Is portant
that there should be fair play and no deception
in this business. or in any other business, We
cannot believe that any respectable shipper or
wholesaler desires to take an unfair advantage
Of the retailers
The Peach Growers bill has been passed By
the New Jersey Senate: ithad better be adopt
ed by the House at once. so that this years
crop may be Justly measured In the market.

Tho Life Of Hope and Confidence.

No feature OF the present political sit,a-
ton u more reassuring to Democrats than
the contest now witnessed In many States
regarding the choice Of delegates to the
Chicago Convention. the preference shown
Tor various prospective Presidential candi-
dates, and the manly rivalry which exists
among Democratic statesmen North and
= South East and West. to be chosen repre-
'oentatives OF their constituencies at the
June Convention. In several States the
rivalry has already grown warm. and the
fighting blood Of the party Is stirred to an
extent not seen since 1876. when. under the
inspiration OF a great leader and newly
awakened hope Of victory. the battle for
delegates to the st. Louis Convention was
wa9ed vigorously in every doubtful State.
What a contrast the present activity OF
Democrats. conscious OF their party's
strength and confident In It's excellent pros
poets OF victory. presents to the listless.
mechanical. Indifferent. and half-hearted
spirit Of four years ago. when. under the
sombre shadow Of an approaching defeat.
the Democrats In the various States Of the
country went perfunctorily through the
task Of selecting delegates. They were so
little inspired by the outlook that what
VutuuSiuoh tuCy WCIo uDAo w Lubullc5L Ill
st. Louis was shown not toward the en-
forced standard bearer OF the party. unan-
imously renomlnated. but rather In favor
Of the Vice-Presidential candidate on whom
alone devolved the thankless and imposei-
bic duty Of rousing the few uncrushed in
SEPARATIONS OF detected party to reasser-
Non OF Its glorious traditions and Its past
achievements. Such was tho situation Of
affairs In the Democratic household In 1888.
How different it Is to-day
Yet so far as superficial indications might
point. 1888 should have been year OF sue
cess for the national Democracy. After an
enforced exclusion from the Government |
for quarter Of q century. the spring Of |
1883 found the Democracy In nominal pos
session. at least. OF the offices and In con-
troll Of the executive policy Of the Federal |
Government. and demanding not change |
In public regard. but merely a continuance.
But in the expectation OF a foreshadowed dis
aster. to which the surrender Of the party's
interest by its greatest beneficiary seemed
b have doomed 1t. there was no heart In
the fight. and at no time much hope Of
Democratic success.
The spring Of 1892 opens auspiciously for
che Democracy all along the line. with en-
srgy. enthusiasm. and watchfulness every
where. and victory straight ahead.

this course lie to be made obligatory upon

tho case has been decided enormously by
the Surrogate: but to give party who
contests will the absolute right to trial

simply would enable malevolent contestants
to postpone tho distribution Of estates and
exact blackmail from the proponents.
There are other Objectionable features In
this bill. but that which we have pointed
out ought to be sufficient to insure It's sum-
mary rejection.
