not the slightest idea that any change Whatever
would thereby be pr duced during the present
Presidential term and not a vote cast this year
can fairly be construed as d. instruction to the
President or TO the present Senate to modify
tho laws until the new Congress comes IN. III
is sheer nonsense to suppose that the action OF
tho peoDle was intended 10 alter in any way
the course of tho President or Of the present
Senate. Neither the President nor any Senator
would have the slightest right to bciray the
trust committed to him for deiinlte term OF
office because somebody else has been chosen
TO succeed him.
Whom the Democrats arrive at ccntrol Oh tiie
Executive departments, the Senate and lhe
House they will come in charge with mission
from the voters which they cannot disregard
without cowardice or trcachcr. 1t is extreme
" rrobable that they will disappont the people
bctray their trust, and sacrifice everything So
10 the chance of keeping Office. 1t is the busi-
ness of Republicans. however TO leave them 70
meet as best they can the grave responsibilities
which the people have placed upon them. lhey
cannot ask Republicans to do their work Tor
them before their term Of Office begins. Presl-
dent Harrison and the Republican Senate have
their trust and their commission from the
neople for definite term Of years and 1t Is
safe TO say that they will not be found false

THE Future or UILL.

Now that Grover Cleveland has been elected
President n large number Of people who take
an interest in politics are inquiring, What i
going 10 become Of David b Hill? Is Iiills
future barren, not to say a bowling waste.
or is it likely to bloom and blossom like the
rose? Is the President elect going 70 treat
him with distinguished consideration, or will
he labor to cxtinguish him? Certainly NJ man

coiycd so terrible Il Stumbling as Hill suffered
last summer. Every member Of The REGULAR,
chosen delegation from his own state named
him as his Presidential candidate Ru the
National Convention not only refused T. nom
mate him, but selected for the Democratic
standard-bearer another man from Now York
What is Cleveland going to do about il? VIII
he pour oil or red pepper into Hills wounds +?
And how is Hill feeling these days--cast down
or hopeful?
Well, Mr. Cleveland as lie contemplt,s tn
election returns from Albany County may we'll
feel inclined to turn an uncommonly ID shout
der t. Hill. The Republicans OF that county
made a gallant and successful fight, and are
entitled to all the praise which is being
showcrod upon them for the effective stand
which they made not only against the we'll
inirenchcd Democracy at the capital, but al 30

Race-Course Gambling.

In regard to the growing evil of bet
ting on horse races, an evil that is
daily gathering in fresh victims from
the home, the Office, and, in fact, from
almost every walk and calling In life,
is none too severely scored by Rev. T.
De Witt Talmage in a recent article, in
which he SAYS:
"There is one word that needs to be
written on the brow of every pool
seller as he sits deducting his three or
five per cent. and slyly ringing up
more tickets than were sold on the
winning horse; u word to be written
also on the brow of every bookkeeper
who. at extra inducement, scratches a
horse off the race; and on the brow Of
every jockey who slackens pace that,
according to agreement, another may
win; and written over every judges
stand, and written on every board of
the surrounding fences-that word is
'swindleH Yet thousands bet. Law
yers bet; judges of courts bet; members
of the legislature bet; members of con-
gress bet; professors of religion bet;
ladies bet, not directly, perhaps, but
through agents. Yesterday, and every
day, they bet. They gain; they lose;
and this summer, while the parasols
swing, and the hands clap, and the
huzzas deafen, there will be multitudes
cajoled and deceived and cheated,
who will at the races go neck and neck
neck and neck - perditinn

Maine Boiler Laws.

The Maine law relating to boiler in
spection needs bracing up if ever stat
ute did, according to the New York
Sun, for there is nothing to prevent the
sale of boilers declared unfit for use on
steam vessels to mills, hotels or small
factories, where almost anybody is
called an engineer. An instance Is re-
called where the boiler of a large fac
tory was left to the care of any one Of
half dozen persons, none of them hav-
ing an engineers certificate. One Of
the men, being near-sighted. thought
he saw startling rise in the steam
gauge, and fed precipitately to the top
of neighboring hill to await the ex-
pected crash, which never came. A
visitor to one of the large mills of the
state found that the engineer" had
removed the steam gauge altogether,
and inquired how he managed without
it, to which the genius of the boiler
room replied: "Oh, I've got the safety
valve to depend upon"

Dime Novels and Crime.

In addressing the grand jury at
Newark, day or two age, Judge Depue
took occasion to call attention to the
harm done by ''half-dime novels"
which he characterized as "the most
pernicious literature that can possibly
get into the hands Of children" His
remarks on this subject were prompted
by the case of young Fales, the boy
murderer recently convicted, whose
crime is generally attributed to vo-
racious reading of such sensational pub
locations. Judge Depue gave figures
showing a great prevalence of crime
among young persons and more than in
minated that prolific cause was to be
sought in the species of vicious reading
which led young Fales on to his fate.
Judge Depue regretted that:there is no
effective law to reach the traffic in this
,crime-producing literature. It may
strike some as being rather odd, OBJ
serves the New York Herald, that,
while stringent statutes have been en-
acted against obscene publications,
cheap sensational stories that beget
crime may be circulated with IMMUNITY.
But this latter evil cannot be suppressed
by law without literary censorship,
which is odious to Americans.
The most effective remedy is in the
hands of parents and consists in a care
full supervision of what their children
read
