Legislating for the Poor.

Governor Leon Albeit, of New Jersey,
has signed bill for the appointment of an
overseer Of the poor.
In view Of the bill recently passed by the
New Jersey legislature legalizing the
Reading coal conspiracy, and the surpris-
ing fact that Governor Albeit has not yet
vetoed it, this action looking to the ap-
pointment of an overseer of the poor is
timely. A bill which gives to three rail
road companies the power to combine and
advance the price of coal is sure to keep q
great many people poor and reduce others
to the verge Of poverty. An overseer of
the poor is therefore to be an official of i'm
portance and large duties, and the COVER
nor does well to approve the bill providing
for his appointment
At the same time it would be more sat
isfaetory to the public if Mr.. Albeit would
veto the conspiracy bill, and in this way
show his solicitude for the poor. In addi-
ton to being unjust, cruel and oppressive,
there is great chance that it is unconsti-
tutional. There also is good evidence for
believing that it was bought through the
legislature by the payment of large sum
Of money to the members. Senator Rogers,
Of Camden county, has said ssf be was
offered more than S25, 600 if he Would work
and vote for its passage. This being true,
Governor Albeit can do a greater service
for the poor by Yetoing this bill than by
appointing an overseer for them.-New
York Advertiser.

Item About SpiBsters.
Communications have lately been
pouring in in extraordinary numbers
upon the two yonths who act respec-
lively as postmaster and postinaster's
clerk ut the postohice in Bristol. These
inissives were from many lone bachelors
in the far west. desiring the postal Off
cials to procure for them the names and
addresses, and. if possible, without re-
gard to cost, the photographs of some
of the many maidens of whom these
same bachelors understand the popula-
tion of the town is clliefycomposed.1
A story concerning the astounding
numbers of naiGens of an uncertain age
who resided on certain street and with
in the confines of one short square in
Bristol had appeared in The Record. and
the cause of the influx was at once ex-
planned. This article had been circu-
lated far and near, and had been cooied d
from one paper to another until the ime
of that Bristol square was widespread.
Many lone bachelor. sitting partner
less by some western hearth. devoured
the lines eagerly until their meaning so
grew upon him that he conld stand it no
longer, but poured forth his desires for
a wife to comfort that loneliness to the
Bristol postmaster.
The Bristol postoffice is modest in
stitution, and WAS at first SO embarrassed
by these appeals that it knew not hat
to do. but finally, rejecting upon the
wretchedness of those lone western
bachelors, its large heart so overfiowed
with sympathy that it bethought itself
of taking the matter in hand. Upon
consideration 1t was decided to post the
letters in some place not conspicuous,
but where the searching eye of the Bris-
toll spinster would perchance light upon
them. !.
For some time after the posting of
these letters the Bristol maidens had
much need Of stamps, etc.. and dropped
in at the postofiice for every mail. In
the course of a few weeks there was
such an increase in the western mail
! coming to Bristol that an additional bag
had TO be provided for its accommoda-
ton. At mail time a continuous line OF
bashfni spinsters from the street in
question was observed entering with ex-
pectant faces and issuing with either
blushes or with sighs.
The residents of Bristol know not how
to account for the preseuce Of such in
Vulnerable hosts OF unmated maidens,
unless 1t be that the buildings on the
street--in 80 MANY cases resembling.
with their porticoes and friezes. the Tenn
pie of Diana---have inspired in the fe-
male Bristol breast desire TO follow
the chaste goddess example, but soon
evidently this condition of affairs may
be ameliorated. --PhiIadelphia Record.
