it would seldom be in their power to ex-

The Board of Freeholders met at
Courses Landing on Wednesday after.
noon to view the draw bridge which
needs altering. There were also pres
ent several prominent farmers and cit
liens who are interested in having I'M
embarrassed navigation. 1t was decid-
to change the draw, to make it dia-
gonal, SO that a boat can pass through
by going up the stream. Capt. H. O..
Weber was given the job to pull the
lower post out and an engineer was to
be employed to see if the side arms can
be cut off without injury to the bridge
as they extend out about three feet and
interfere with the passage Of the steam
barges.
The Board is to be commended for
its action as it has been long needed.

Is there no remedy for extravaganza?
Practically. we suspect there is none.
except poverty, for the habit of spend
ing has its root rather in character than
in circumstances or in training; but
there are two or three correctives which
if a man suspects himself of the foible,
he may possibly induce himself to adopt.
One is " to spend anything fresh
without considering quietly whether
he really desires the thing the eXpendi.
ture is to buy. Will he care about it
the day after the purchase? He will
find nine times out of ten that if he can
resist his impulse for twenty-four hours,
he can resist it altogether; that the val
ue of the money will grow iE his eyes,
and not the value of the thing he thinks
so Indispensable. Another corrective
is to buy nothing Of any sort without
paying for il at IL 1t is the bills
which come in twice a year which Grip.
pie a man, who will find tina: if he pays
at once, the money assumes Il new i'm.
poItanee in his eyes. Clever trades.
men know this so well that they would
rather stand out Of their cash than ac-
cept ready money, and wen dislike to
be paid by check at too short intervals
of time. Beyond these precautions,
there is, we believe, none which men
who are e%Xtrayagant by habit can take,
unless indeed they are of a reflective
turn, and a compel themselves to re.
member shat all extravaganza entails a
diminution Of power. They have no
more moral right to deplete their purs-
es foOlishly than TO avoid profitable
work which they a do, or deliberate
ly place their savings in investments
which they know to lie bad. They
would think it sinful to throw half
crowns at sparrOws; but IA great many
forms of extravaganza are not II bit
better than that London Spectator.

The New Jersey militia encamped at
Sea Girt object to the hosting of the
camp flag in the morning by the milk
man, as they find has been the custom.
1t is true that the poet Drake, in his
ode to the flag, refers to ''the milky
baldric of the Skies" in which lie
means the milk. white stripes; but such
reference hardly justities the breach of
military etiquette of which the New
Jersey guardsmen complain, and their

While no one begrndges the soldier
an honest pension, it does appear
strange that a man can draw a pension
for disability, and at the sane time
make oath TO his entire soundness in
applying for life insurance. Life in
uranc companies do not now accept
pension drawing applicants, and pen
sions are taken from those who have
within a specified time passed a sue
cessful examination for insurance.
This sounds well. but statistics prove
that the battIe-scarred and wounded
veterans are noted for longevity, and a
pension tends to prolong life.

The bill providing for the admission
Of Utah as II State has now passed both
houses of Congress. There does not
seem to be any fear that the Mormons,
who mainly compose the population,
will ever seek to revive polygamy, and
even if they did there is a provision in
the bill which reserves to Congress the
right to make and enforce laws against
the last of the 'twin relics" The work
of framing a constitution and choosing
State officials will occupy some time,
and admission, 80 far as representation
in Congress is concerned, will not date
until Janury l, 1896. There al be no
doubt but that Statehood will assist the
