THAT pull" materialized last week
when Gov. Werts voted to pardon the
"Blg Four" race track gamblers. That
the chief executive officer Of this state has
full control in the matter of pardons may
not be known. but it is fact that no par
don can be granted without the Gov.
ernor's consent. No matter if every other
member Of the Court vote favorably, the
Governor. by a negative ballot. can stop
further proceedings. He voted In favor
of pardoning the men who. If they had
been CONSIGNED to the state prison for the
balance Of their lives, would not have
been too severely punished. Does any
body doubt what influenced his action
Was 1t not the control of the ring that has
done SO much to make New Jersey
notorious?

AGAIN the rumor is on the wing that
efforts are to be made whereby graduates
of the State Normal school are to be given
preference in the selection of teachers for
public schools. This favoritism has al
ways been prevalent in certain quarters.
and sometimes shows itself in unpleasant
ways. A graduate of the Normal school
may now present a diploma which is a
sufficient certificate of the holders abilities
to teach, while a teacher who has not
been fortunate enough to get the required
diploma, must undergo rigid examine
ton at certain times to hold q position
satisfactorily filed. The injustice of this
is at once apparent. On the one hand
there rs no necessity to study or to brush
up on any points. the all-powerful diplo-
ma is sufficient; while in the other case
the teacher. wearied with duties that are
never light, is compelled to doubly tax
her powers by studying, that she may
not only keep in the grade that she is re-
CURED to fill. but having had certificate
in that line for number of years, must
secure one higher. even if she has no ex-
pectation of using it. On this point we
would cite an instance or two In this town
there lies to-day the body of young lady
who died from typhoid fever that can be
directly traced to overwork and anxiety
in studying for teachers examination"
Not many years since another young lady
died from the same disease, who, during
her illness, raved constantly about her
teachers certificate for which she had at
tended an examination just prior to her
illness, and to attain which she was com.
PEELED to work go assiduously that her
life was taken from her. These are two
fatal cases. Other instances of broken
health directly due to the severe strain in
preparing for these examinations NAV
easily be discovered in almost every school
district in the state. The cause of educa-
ton does not require such sacrifices. We
have long commended that the course of
studies prescribed was entirely out of pro-
portion to the expected results. That these
studies are originated with a desire to
crowd out one class of teachers for the
benefit of others is not charged, but there
is no reason why this point should not be
watched. The public schools of New Jersey
are not second class by any means, and it
is significant fact that those which have
high rank have reached that point with
out the aid of Normal school graduates.
There is no desire to depreciate this class
of students. nor is there any reason why
they should receive unusual consideration
unless they prove themselves entitled to
it. They should be put on an equal basis
with other seekers for positions as educa-
tors. some of whom, notwithstanding they
have not emerged from the higher halls
of study. can give points in training, in
structlon and discipline that are of more
value than score of diplomas.

A M0.h-Catching Plant.

The moth-catching plant "Araugia
albens," is IL native of Southern Africa
and was introduced to New Zealand
accidentally about seven years ago,
and since then it has been extensively
p-opagated there, on account of its
effective service as a killer OF destruc-
tive moths. Wherever the climate is
mild the plant is an exceedingly free
grower; il twines and climbs with
great luxuriance, aud produces i'm
mense numbers of white or pinkish
flowers, which have very agreeable
scent. These flowers attract innumer.
able moths. On q summer evening a
hegde OF "Araugia" will be covered by
a perfect cloud nj moths, and in the
morning there will not be q single
flower that does not imprison one or
two, and sometimes as many as four in
sects OF various sizes and genera. The
action OF the "Araugia" is purely
mechanical. The calyx of the Hover
is rather deep, and the receptacle for
its sweet juices is placed at its base.
Attracted by the powerful scent and
the prospect OF honey, the moth dives
down the calyx, and protrudes its pro.
boscis to reach the tempting food. But
before it can do so the proboscis is
nipped between two strong, hard,
-pS'ck pinChssfs, wiiigh s2Sfdf "a tyS. !. S.. So
age aud once nipped there is no escape
for the moth, which is held as in a
wise by the extreme end of tho pro-
boscis, and dies miserably. The pro.
boscis is SO very slightly inserted be.
tween the pincers that it apparently
can not sfec; the generative organs OF
the plant, unless these may be the
pinchers themselves, whose actual con.

invariably found to be almost in con-
tact, the separating interval being APP
