AMONG the bills introduced in the Leg
islature last year was one requiring every
railroad to erect gates at all crossings.
This was, perhaps, too broad bill to
enact, as it would make railroad expen-
ses increase very rapidly. While it is
not necessary to have gates or hagman
at every cross road, there are many that
should be guarded An instance OF this
kind is at Water street, Mount Holly,
which is one of the most dangerous in
the state, and over which several trains
pass daily at high rate of speed.

THE most famous ship in the United
States naval service, the Kearsarge, was
wrecked in the CaribbeanIsea. on the I'd
of February. The Kearsarge has been
continuously in the naval service for
thirty-two years. She was built at Kit
terry, Me-, in 1861, and was commissioned
the next year. Her great claim to fame,
of course, was her defeat of the Confed-
crate cruiser Alabama off Cherbourg,
France. on Sunday, June 10, 1854. The
Kearsarge had been practically rebuilt
She was recently assigned to the duty of
blowing up derelicts between New York
and the West Indies, but news that Amer
lean interests in San Domingo were en-
dangered by a threatened revolution
caused Secretary Herbert to direct the
Kearsarge to proceed without delay to
that country. The alleged revolution,
like many other similar affairs in San
Domingo, amounted to nothing, and the
Kearsarge proceeded to Port-au-Prince.

THERE never was an occasion of any
kind that did not create more or less crit
icism, and the recent charity ball was no
exception. Looking at il in the general
sense the charity ball has no more claim
to exemption from criticism than any
other public affair, and if it transgressed
any of the laws of good government or
morality it should he severely censured.
But it did not. Those who attended the
gathering were respectable and orderly,
and behaved in a becoming manner
Why, therefore, there should be any
comment upon the right of this or that
person to be there. or why there should
be remarks about the dress or adornment
of any that were present is mystery
The ball is given yearly for worthy OBJ
ject that is supported entirely by volun-
tary contributions and the gratuitous
labors of those at its head The ball it..
self is managed by few young men who
labor earnestly to make it success, per-
forming considerable manual labor that
the receipts may be larger. For this rea-
son, if for no other, it would naturally be
supposed that the disposition of all
would be to applaud rather than to throw
cold water However, honest criticism is
always in order, but deliberate lying,
even for the purpose of appearing funny,
is the depth of despicableness.

AN item travelling the rounds of the
state would lead many to believe that
the bill introduced in the Legislature to
provide free text books in our public
schools, was an entirely new and original
idea. This is not the case. A bill with
the same object in view was introduced
last year, and THE News commented ed
itorially on it in the issue of February Z.
For some reason the bill got lost before
il could be voted on.

pAlTlsON FOR HILL.
He Thinks President Cleveland Should
Also Come Out Boldly.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. H.-Governor
Pattison is not only taking great interest
in the Democratic campaign in Pennsyl-
vania, but in the far-reaching political bat
tie in New York. Although the Governors
friends in this State were strong adherents
of Cleveland in the Chicago convention and
contributed largely 70 his nomination, he
earnestly desires the success of Hill in New
York and hopes the President will soon
make a public declaration in his favor.
The Governor continued: Hill deserves
the active support of Cleveland in view or
the sacrifice he has made In accepting the
nomination for Governor and the political
significance OF the campaign in New York"
Governor Pattison then said he had OBJ
tanned information from a perfectly reliable
source that Senator Hill had done all in his
power To dissuade Maynard from being a
candidate and that he had told him defeat
was inevitable ii his name were placed on
the ticket, but his colleagues on the bench
thought otherwise.

BELGIAN ELECTIONS.
Compulsory System of Voting Tried
for the First Time.

for the First Time.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 14.-Elections for men,
bers of the Chamber Of Deputies We're
held throughout Belgium to-day. The vot-
ing was under the new compulsory system,
which provides severe penalties for nom
voters. The electors were divided into three
classes, as follows: One-year residents, over
twenty-five years of age, who were entitled
to one vote; married men and widowers with
families, who pay personal taxes of five
francs to the State, who had two votes,
and priests and others of position and edu-
cation, who had three votes. The clerical
party. under this system, had great voting
strength. The Socialists made a strong
fight as the independent party. The Liberals
were divided and are likely to show badly
in the places where the c~lericals and
Socialists were in force.
The elections were orderly, except at
Alost, in East Flanders, where collision .oc-
Cured between the supporters of Able
tne Clerical leader, who, a few days ago,
was stoned by a mob while proceeding to
a political meeting at Grammont, in East
Flanders, and forced to flee for his life.
The counting of the votes is a slow pro-
cess. Returns from the Brussels districts
show that the Liberals and Clericals ran
closely and probably re-ballots will be neces-
sary. In Charleroi and Liege, mining and
manufacturing centers, the Radicals and
Socialists are ahead, having defeated many
Liberal candidates including Frere Joban,
the moderate Liberal leader. NJ. De Bruyan,
Minister of Public Works and Agriculture,
has been reelected in Fermonde.

Christian Church Dedicated.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
PERU, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE dedication of
the First Christian Church of this city
to-day was an impressive affair. The dedi-
cation proper occurred at II a. m, and
was one OF the largest attended of any ever
held in this city. For more hi fifty years
Peru has been without a congregation of
this kind, and the occasion was made a
fitting one. Rev. l. L. Carpenter, of Wa
bash, Ind, delivered the sermon. Mr.. Car
penter has a record Of second to none in
the fact that during his lifetime he has
dedicated $50 churches, and during the same
period has performed the act of baptism
10 nearly ten thousand people. The church
was decorated with flowers. In the after
noon at 3 O'Clock congratulatory services
were held in the church which was par
tscipated in by every church and congrega-
ton in the city One year ago the State
society OF this congregation sent the Rev.
Charles NJ. Fillmore. the present pastor, to
this city with instructions to build up a
congregation. That he has well and faith
fully performed his duties is manifest from
the fact that when ne came TO Peru there
were thirteen members, and this has now
been increased to over one hundred. In adj
dttion to this the new church has just been
completed at a cost Of over $4,000, and il is
among the handsomest in the city.

Senator Hill is neither rich nor poor; that
clever man. Hon. Daniel y. Lockwood. is
rich. General Saxton is poor. So we have
the spectacle of a rich man at one or the
oths- end OF both Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets and q poor man at the
other. Pots are very silly TO call kettles
black.
The people of the Empire State do not
object to rich men who have won their
fortunes honestly. On the contrary, they
recognize the ability needed to acquire
wealth and the advantages 1t gives. Could
Mr.. Morton spend thousands of dollars on
a model farm and exhibit the best i'm
ported stock at Duchess county fairs had
he not money TO spend on experiments from
which less wel-to-do farmers must surely
profit? Is not that man a valuable citizen
who takes the money made in business and
puts it into the soil of his country? People
are not fools. The cry OF the press against
wealth per Sc is hypocritical and raised
solely for partisan purposes.
Mr.. Morton is rich without the offensive
characteristic of many rich men. In his
charities he resembles Peter Cooper. Few
vainly appeal to him for aid, and the DELI
cacy of his generosity is its greatest virtue.
Seeing in the Republican nominations AT
Saratoga the best chances for reform in
New York, l hope for their election. Wcm-
