NO NEW JERSEY IN THE HOUSE.
The lower branch of the legislature yes
terday showed its sense of what Is right
and proper by passing both the Corrupt
Practices act and the very stringent bill
against the pool rooms. Both bills ought
to become laws, and both will If the senate
heeds the popular will and the popular
moral sense as expressed in the house, and
in other ways.
The vote on the anti ti-pool-room bill in
dicates that the people of the State are
very thoroughly stirred up concerning
this important matter. There were but few
votes against the bill and these were not
very bold ones. In passing the
bill the house has gone further
than some of the most jealous fighters of
the pool rooms at first thought best to ask,
but they are satisfied, because If the bill
should become law the pool rooms could
be dealt with as they deserve. Nobody
seems to know what action the senate will
take, but 1t seems to us that the wisest
and best thing now for 1t to do is to imi-
tate the house and help give us law
which would certainly be consistent, even
if in some respects 1t should be little
in excess of public opinion. The main
thing to be thought of is that 1t would hit
the pool rooms. It is very desirable that
they should be hit. After they have been
fatally hit the people can, If they are so
disposed, turn their attention to gambling
at church fairs. betting at elections and
other works Of evil example. But there
should be as little delay as possible in get
ting at the pool rooms.
The house has spoken with no uncertain
voice. There is no indication yet that
Connecticut is ruled as New Jersey is. It
is hardly possible that the senate will give
evidence that it is.

must some time give way to cremation,
and the sooner this can be brought about
the better 1t will be for the living. 1t Is
only by ignoring the point Of view that the
grave-digger gives us so foreibly in Hamlet
that modern sentiment looks upon burial
as more agreeable than oremation; but the
highest religious feelings, as well as the
truest science, seem to me to favor the
latter"
+ The EngHsh opponents Of vaccination
are vociferous and persistent, but the re-
cent outbreak of smallpox at Leicester,
England, has furnished some facts which
they will find 1t hard to explain away. Ten
children who died had not been vascinated,
while among the vaecinated children there
were no deaths. The report of the medical
officer of the town Is even more significant
than the deaths of the ten unvaccinated
children and the immunity of all who were
effectively protected. The staf of the
Fever Hospital was made up of twenty
eight persons. "Of these twenty eight,
twenty-five were protected" DR.. Priestly
says in his report, Including eight whom
I revacoinated, while the remaining ak had
only been vscinnated in childhood, and 30
were not efficiently protected. OF these
six fneffciently' protected officials-all of
whom refused revaccination, which Of
fered them-four have since contracted
smallpox and one has died; 80 that two
only of the staff now remain ineficiently'
protected, and it will be interesting to
note their future HISTORIES" Some figures
have also been lately published as to the
effect of vaccination on tribe on the west
coast of Africa that was undergoing an
Inhalation by smallpox. A doctor vac
cinated one hundred and fifty men,
women, and children, and of these only
three were attacked. In these three cases,
it is believed that the lymph, sent out in
sealed tubes, had lost its potency.

THE RNDoWED NEWsPApER.

The theory of an Endowed Newspaper is
rather attractive. 1t has been floating
around for several years, and has grown
out of the notion that newspapers that are
not endowed with good bank account aim
to get endowed with one as soon as posi-
BILE, and that this aim is somehow or other
inoonsistant with making newspaper what
it ought to be. So the theorists want q
newspaper that doesn't have to aim at any
such thing and is free to serve the public
interest regardless of profit and loss. Pro-
fessor Levermore of Boston is one of the
advocates of the Endowed Newspaper. By
this he means journal with an endow-
ment Of from 100000 to $1,000, 900
under the charge of board of inoorpo-
rated trustees, similar to that of college,
without peouniary interest in the paper.
The operating force should be salaried like
a college faculty under the direction of an
editor in chief, whose duties would resem-
BILE those of college president. The en-
dowment of the paper would make it indie
pendent in its collection and publication
of news and enable it to resist the public
demand for sensational reports of murders,
prize fights and scandals of all sorts, and
devote itself to agricultural reports, topics
of social and religious interest, accounts of
industrial phenomena, etc. The counting
room and the advertiser would have no in
fuence in the editorial room and the paper
would be SO independent and good that
people would be forced to heed and re-
spect it.
The Endowed Newspaper of this kind
would perhaps be good and independent,
but it would probably also be dry and un-
popular. People couldn't be forced to
heed 1t and read 1t, and they wouldn't
heed it or read 1t unless 1t suited them.
The Endowed Newspaper would appeal to
those endowed with the same ideas that
Influenced 1t, and no others. And Its man
ayers would be surprised by the reluctance
of the people to turn from newspapers in
which they have learned to have confidence
even to a paper claiming to be endowed
not only with money, but with extraordi-
nary common senee and moral sense.

Reciprocity is all right. Under reoi-
Cuba have increased the past year and a
half to $32, zoe, ,0o7, as against $1s, 13e, $3.50
in the preceding year and a half. Our ex-

advantages to trade have become apparent.
Aluminium slate pencils are being manu-
featured by an Illinois firm, and are re-

are erased by wet sponge. The pencil Is
light, and indestructible.
What is going to happen to southwestern
Ruseia2 An extraordinary phenomenon
has been noticed there. The mice which
have infested not only the fields but the
towns and villages for years have entirely
disappeared. The Kiew.Slowo Gazette re-
ports that in the spring of 1891 the mice
plague 10 that part of Russia was terrific,
the inhabitants were at loss to know what
| to do, and feared greatly for their crops.
Strange to say, at the close of spring, 1892,
the rodents departed from the country and
| left nothing behind them to testify to their
presence but innumerable holes in fields
and gardens, nor have they put in an sp-
| pearance since.
A battered silver whistle ueed by old
John Brown to summon his followers to
secret meetings shortly before the civil
| war is owned by a cousin of Colonel Lewis
| Washington, of GEORGETOWN, D. O. When
Brown was arrested and searched he gave
up everything else willingly, but begged
leave to retain this OF course the re-
quest was not granted. The whistle is
said to resemble in shape lrng- tailed
tadpole with dorsal fin extending the
length of its body. What corresponds
to the tail is slender pipe through which
q current of air is blown futewise across
tho hollow bulb at the end, giving thin
yet mellow sound of peculiar timbre that
is very penetrating. Residents of Har-
per's Ferry said after the capture that for
weeks before they had heard that whistle
sound at night without knowing its mean
ing. But the negroes knew it. and for
them 1t was the engine whistle for the un-
derground railroad.
