THE Senate tariff bill was adopted yes

vote of 1872 to los. Party perfdy anc
party dishonor" have been sanctioned by
the Democratic party. ''Infamy and dis
honor" have won the day. The bill upor
which President Cleveland poured forth
such awful epithets will soon become 6
law and he will undoubtedly sign it. The
bill was passed at six O'Clock last even
ing after an exciting contest. All the
Senate amendments were concurred in
Then the House passed separate bills
placing on the free list coal, iron ore,
barbed wire and sugar.
The House that passed the bill yester-
day, it will be remembered is the same
House that about a month ago berated
the Senate for its Infamous conduct,
and that declared it would meyer submit
The sugar trust has been triumphant; it
has been gwen millions The party in
power was too weak to live up to its prin-

A DRIVE over some of the stone roads
of this county, on Saturday, confirms the
suspicion that these driveways are going
to be expensive and unsatisfactory. A
piece of road in Chester township is in
miserable condition, large pieces of stone
lying loose, causing horse to go from
side to side to pick out easy travelling, the
carriage jolting and jerking as it passes
oyer the stones. Just before coming to
this stone road is a gravel road, and it is
far preferable to the Improvement"
The road mentioned is not one built by
the county but is one of Chester's,
and is one of the first built. Adjoining it
is the stone highway leading into River
ton, recently built. 1t is better, although
ruts have been cut in several places, caus-
ing fear that it, in time, will be in the
same condition as the Moorestown piece.

THE new school law is being condemned
all over the state. The strongest arrsign'
ment of the statute is by Hon. A. S. Mey-
brick, of Kingston, who in a communica-
ton to the New Brunswick FREEDMAN,
shows the weak points of the law, which
he convicts of injustice, inutility and i'm
praeticabillty. 1t is said that the Legis-
lature, when it meets IN the fall, will not
do any business, but it should not adj
journ without paying attention to the
public demand for change in the foolish
school law either by amendment or re-
peal-preferably the latter.

THE sentiment of the New York Consti-
tutional convention is decidedIy against the
abolition of capital punishment. A pro-
posed amendment doing away with the
deathlpenalty was the subject of an adverse
committee report, and this report was ac-
cepted by the convention by vote of IS
to 50. Probably this vote fairly repre-.
sents popular opinion on this subject.
The question is one that has been before
the New York Legislature a number of
times, and despite the action of the Con-
stRutional convention the opponents of
capital punishment will doubtless renew
their efforts to secure favorable legsla-
ton. But with men in the world capable
of crimes like the assassination of Carnot,
the time does not seem ripe for abolish
ing the death penalty.

travellers Must BE Content.

In some parts Of tho southern states,
where, happily for them, the people
are not in such a ceaseless hurry as peo-
pie are in tho nervous north, no one
thinks of exacting punctuality from
railroad trains They take them when
they come, and arrive when they get
there, and are content.
A fretful Yankee drummer, who, at
country railway station, had been fun
ing because train had not arrived an
hour after schedule time, received o
lesson in patience from an elderly coun'
tryman who came in with his gripsack
and asked the station master:
"What time do the train fer Sayan'
nah git here, boss?'
"Somewhar bout nightfall, " answer
cd the stationman.
can what time do she git ter Savan'
nah?"
"Somewhar bout mawnin.

fed with the information, folded hi
legs in corner and settled down to nj

of the large cattle outfits in southern

and confronted him. The only weapon
at hand was his lariat, and with vi

schoolmarm he quickly loosened his
rope and threw it. A few turns over the

very severe, for unluckily the bears
fore leg as well as his head was through
the loop of the rope. Tom was about to
drop the rope like hot cake when the
horse suddenly put his head down and
started bucking in true broncho style.

Looking back from his position OF
comparative safety, he could see that
both animals had become entangled in
the rope and were having it out in great
style, making frantic efforts to free
themselves. The rope finally parted, and
away they went in opposite directions,
or as he expressed it. "They quit the

cELLuLolo FASHION PLATES.
You Can FIJI Them In with Background
of ReaI Cloth.

One of the cleverest emanations of
the fertile Yankee brain which has been
put upon the market recently is a set of
fashion plates for tailors. These plates
are printed upon sheets of celluloid.
Each sheet is 1919 inches long and 2 Il
inches wide. Before the prints are made
these sheets are as transparent as glass.
There are six sheets in a set. Upon
one is print of fashionable pair of
trousers, and upon the others full length
figures of men dressed in the accepted
style of clothing. One print shows the
single breasted sack suit, another the
double breasted sack suit, another the
regulation three button cutaway suit,
another the one button cutaway suit
for stout men, and the last fashiona-
BILE oyercoat. In each figure the print is
of man, and he is halted and gloved
and provided in some with cane.
The prints seem to be made at first in
black outline, with all the proper shades
should be in we'll fitting garments. All
the parts of the figures except the gar
ment or garments which each print is
to display particularly are then filled in
with appropriate colors, and the back
ground around the figures is filed in
solidly with gold bronze.
Looked at casually, one does not dis
cover the popularity of the plates at
once. Hold one up to the light, and it
will be seen that the parts devoted to
garments are as clear as glass, except
for the light shading which indicates
folds or creases. Lay one of them over
a piece of cloth, and the use Of the
plates becomes manifest at glance.
The texture of the cloth shows through
clearly. and the figure appears to be
clothed in perfect fitting garments of
the underlying material.
Do you wonder how a suit, an over
coat or pair of trousers of some GER
tain cloth would appear when made up
you place a plate over it, and. 10, there
is the garment in all its perfection.
That is the purpose of the novel fashion
plates New York Sun.

The Childish voice Too Much.

A good story is told of Signor Foil,
the famous basso Once upon time he
was singing 1.-THE Raft, " when child
ish voice from somewhere in the stalls
suddenly piped in and attempted to or
ganize an impromptu duet. Unfortu'
nately the next line of the song was;
"Hark! What sound is that which
breaks upon mine ear?" This so ticlSled
the fancy of the great vocalist that he
burst into a hearty fit of laughter and
left the platform, followed by the pi-
anist. Twice they came back and at
tempted the song, and finally they had
to give 1t up in despair. much to the

SPEED VERSUS SAFETY.
A Sea Captain Tells How and Why Il,

A Sea Captain Tells How and Why He
Must Make Quick Time.
A passenger on ono of the European
liners made a jocose remark to the cap
tain one night as they were chatting
Familiarity on deck.
You sea captains, he said, "are
the only absolute sovereigns now left in
the world. When the ship leaves port,
your will is law. Every one on board
recognizes your supreme authority.
From your decisions there are no ap-
peals. Every life is in your keeping.
You are sea kings indeed. F"
mo, we are bondmen of the COM
pany managers, was the bluff old cap
tain's reply eve are under obliga-
tions to make fast runs, yet never to
take any risks. 1t is no longer possible
for the captain of first class liner to
exercise discretion.
"Why, ON my last run across the At
lantic, he continued, rapidly warming
up, IT had bad weather nearly all the
way. When the wind was not blowing
q gale, there was dense fog, and didn't
dare to run at full speed. The ship was
York. Z"
The captain and the passenger were
intimate friends and talked without re-
straint.
81 went to the main Office" the cap
tain continued, land was received cold
ly by the manager. He told me that 1
had made very poor run. I tried to
explain how bad the weather had been,
but he listened impatiently. He re-
minded me that other ships leaving
England ON the same day had arrived
much earlier, although they must have
had similar weather. He said that the
day for cautious, old fashioned captains
had gone by. The reputation of a ship
for speed must be maintained, and cap
tains must be brisk and wide awake, or
their usefulness would be at an end.
"You may have noticed" the captain
added after a pause, that we have been
running at full speed all day in heavy
fog. Your king has been profiting by
the reprimand which he received, and
he hasn't known comfortable moment
until the fog lifted an hour ago.
$50 you see that tho kings of the sea
are the managers bondmen. If they
are cautious and avoid risks, they are
considered sleepy and slow. If they are
venturesome and the ship goes wrong,
then they are condemned as foolhardy.
That's the tyranny of the sea, even il
we are kings on deck Philadelphia
