NEW PUBLICATIONS.
..The Drama" by Henry Irving.

"A
One Of the most interesting books that has
come to our hands late. ts The Drama
written by the great English actor Henry
Irving. The book is issned by TAFT, Sons & Co.,
of Union Square, New York 1T is a 16mo, Taste
fully bound in cloth, uncut and printed on heavy
linen paper, with extra wids margins. There is
a beautiful photogravure frontispiece after
Whistler. The book treats of four subjects.
The first chapter is devoted to an exposition Of
the sage as it Is, and is. an address that was
of the Philosophical Institution. Edinburgh, on
November 8, 1881. The art of acting is explained
subject of discourse by MI. Irving to the stu
dents of the University of Harvard on March 30,
1885. In the third chapter Mr.. Irving gives his
impressions Of four great actors, viz: Messrs.
Burbage, Betterton. Garrick and Kean. This
lecture was delivered at Oxford on June 20,
1886. Curiously enough the last chapter is a
discourse delivered before the Pathological lnsti-
tuition, Edinburgh, November y. 1891, just ten
years and one day after he delivered the lecture
that forms the subject of the first chapter OF
this book. Its title Is the Art of Acting.
AS is to be expected from the greatest living
English actor, the subjects are treated in q pro-
foundry interesting manner.

That Cemetery Nuisance.

Tt is hard to explain on any reason
able basis the action of the Catholic
Cemetery authorities in allowing
scores of fostering corpses to remain
unburied while the hot weather
marches on apace. The excuse hat
the surveyor has retarded burials is a
poor one. There is more than one
surveyor in the world, and in a mat
ter of such urgency a little energy
would have very soon overcome SO
triiing and inessential a difficulty as
the slowness or neglect of an individ-
ual.
That queer body, the County Board
of Health, has, as usual, displayed an
utter lack of vigilance in allowing the
nuisance TO prevail for many weeks,
and a total indifference to the
public interests in failing to
take it up with yigor, and
compel the cemetery authorities
to take some action to check it. Our
County Board of Health has always
been Ii cumbersome, useless body.
The Legislature should abolish it,
and give the city and State boards a
chance to do the same good work here
that they do in other counties.
If the authorities fail to act, the
residents near the cemetery, who suf-
fer from the efiuvia. should apply to
the Chancellor and the Grand Jury
for relief.

a melancholy and mental depression
felt by SO many men and women, showing
only their first gray hairs, is a ~lamentably
common complaint. Paine's celery COM

ignorance of the virtues of this wonderful
preparation been allowed to standb between

Physicians recommend it, and the testi-

Vermont, whose portraitis printed above,

The names have been published in these
columns within the last month of some OF
the best authorities among the praetition-
ers of the country who recommend the use
of Paine's celery compound in the highest
terms. 1t is better han all the patent med
icines and ordinary tonics in the world. It
makes people we'll. and cures where all else
fails. Try it, and you'll soon be convinced
of It's worth.

IT is a pity tho celebration of Deco

sion of quarrels and strife among men
VINO are all equally patriotic and all
equally earnest in their desire to do
honor to the day. The military
bodies would do well to pay a little
more attention to the spirit of mill
tary obedience. They should accept
the orders of the commanding officers

An outrageous CrAlSntSc Inv.
In our news columns today we ex-
pose a most extraordinary feature of
the traction legislation of last winter,
which has not heretofore attracted
attention in this city. The Newark
Eceniag Nel1s has sounded a note Of
alarm in its community, and there is
reason TO hope that through full pub
licity the scandalous purposes which
inspired this most wicked legislation
will be defeated.
As the law stands, it is competent
for the Street and Water Board of this
city and Newark to give away any
thing and everything that the muni-
cipality controls in the way OF street
franchises by mere resolution and
without previous advertisement or
notice to the public. 1t is fair to say
that there seems to be no disposition
in this city to take advantage of this
provision. The applications for fran
chises have all, or nearly all, been duly
advertised in the Journal and THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS, and days have
been set for public hearing and dis
cussion.
But there is a still more dangerous
aspect to the law in the clause, quoted
in our news columns. which provides
that upon the signature and execu-
ton by a traction company of an ac-
ceptance of the terms of a Street nd
Water Board resolution, that resolu-
ton becomes a contest between the
company and the city. This is GER
tainly one of the most outrageous Ell
actments aver placed upon the statute
books of this or any other State. Its
effect is to liberate the companies
from all control by the public author
tiles. They are no longer the tenants
during good behavior of a grant or
franchise which may be modified or
conditioned, Or eve revoked for
cause. They are the equal and inde-
pendent parties to a contract, which.
under the Constitution of the United
States, cannot be annulled or de-
stroyed. even by an Act of the Legis-
lature.
In making grants to the Consolida-
ted Traction Company and other
transit projectors in this city, the au-
thorities must certainly see that the
pitfall set in this law is avoided. The
grants must expressly be made under
other statutes, and no aceeptances or
other papers must be executed which
would come within the provisions Of
this Ubiquitous law. In fact it might
be best to insist that every corpora
ton to which a franchise is granted
should sign an express waiver of their
contract right The people will do
well to watch and see to it that their
rights are not traficked away beyond
recall.
