has been during many years among the
best-known lecturers and writers
seeks to apply the accepted principles
and Wealth, CONSUMPTION and Waste;
without violence to the logic Of accepted
economists or to the politics of confessed
p~artiSans, while insistlng that both
economists and part:sans. shall admit
the logic which they cannot refute. The
leading tropics considered In the Volume
are Economy and Labor; Wealth and its
Distribution. CONSUMPTION and Waste:
Relation and Duty Of Authority: Har:
Ways and Means. The ablest econom.
lists are quoted from, as to definition and
statement with regard TO economic prin-
ciPles. end their own propositions are
projected, along their own logical lines,
against the Liquor Traffic as a foe to
Labor. a parasite upon the legitimate
Industries, and an element IN h State
which all the teachings of Political Ec-
onpmy demand shall be eliminated.
This book Is designed for popular read
Ing, and ALSO as q text-pook for use 10
FIJI a place no book has heretofore sought
to occupy-it is a book both for scholars,
and students, and plain tailoring men,

ciples underlying Political Science.

the entire exterior has been repainted.

Judge Garrison's Decision in a Horse
Car Case.
Special to The JeYscD Citv Near:

Special to thS Je3ScD AZ NeaS.
CAMDEN, April &c, 1854 case hav-
ing an important bearing upon the rights
of passengers on street cars was tried
before Supreme. Court Justice Garrison
in Camden yesterday. Suit was brought
by Walter NJ. Wood of Cramer Hill
against the Camden Horse Railroad
Company for S., 600 damages. On Janu-
airy Is the plaintiff boarded a trolley car
at Second and Market streets on his way
home. He gave the conductor a s. bill,
but the latter could not change it.
Wood had no money of a smaller de-
nomination and refused to get off the
car. He was put off at Fifth street by
the conductor.
In his cross-examination of Wood ex-
Judge Armstrong, counse for the rail-
road, brought out the fact that the plain
tiff could not tell what kind of a IS
bill he offered the conductor, whether it
was a treasury note. a hank note or a
silver certificate. He Immediately moved
fora nen-suit, on the ground that the
plaintiff had not shown that legal ten
der money was presented to the con-
ductor. Judge Garrison granted the
non-suit. He said the would
not be compelled to accept a promis-
sorry note, such as a bank note, and a
silver certificate was not legal tender.
An exception was allowed, and the point
will be argued in the higher courts.

The Rev. Arney S. Biddle IS making

If but little benefit. Instead of being
set directly ON the corner it is fully

by it. The steps leading to the church
are in complete shadow, and many peo-
pie have been injured through being I'M
able to clearly see their way.
Mr.. Riddle wants the light put on the
church corner. where it will be of prac-
tiea1 use. He doesn't desire to have the
pole replaced. He has obtained permits

The troubles of the Shoe and Leather
Bank seem TO so back to the bad judy
ment of the directors in more ways than
one. The miserably low pay is just as
fertile a source of disaster as the lack
of supervision. You pay a man $1,000
a year and expect him to make as good
an appearance as men with 5000. and at
the same time you expect him to handle
millions and remain nnscathed by tempta-
ton. AS a matter Of fact. hundreds OF
poor fellows are in this situation in all
our great financial institutions. and the
only wonder is that SO few give way
under the strain. 1t Is most honorable
to our commercial morals that SO few
give way TO temptation.
But the error of the employers Is
none the less gross. The very institu-
lions tina grind the faces of their m
ployes the hardest. are the ones which
pay fabulous dividends. so that their
stock sometimes sells for a thousand
per cent. more. More good sense and
good feeling are needed among our EN-
ploying classes.
