KINDER THAN THE BO4RD

Nature is often called cruel, but she
is also kind. She has just given an il
lustration of her Kindness in New Ha-
ven which shows that she can be even
kinder than the Board of Public Works.
That body, it will be remembered, has
lately given an exhibition of it's kind
ness to horses. 1t refrained from sprink-
ling the dusty streets Of this city last
week because it was afraid that 1t
might cause some horses to slip on
the ice which might form as a result of
the sprinkling and the cold weather
which might happen, This remarkable
consideration for horses has given the
Board reputation for kindness which
will be more lasting than brass. The
kindness was, to be sure, little one
sided. 1T did not include human beings
in its scope They were left to battle
with the disease-and-d death dealing dust
| as best they could. But they had the
serene satisfaction Of knowing that the
horses were safe from slipping, and they
could admire the kindness of a Board
that would forget them and even its
deals" in its zeal for the good of
horses. On Saturday, however, Nature
stepped in with kindness that included
both horses and human beings. She
sprinkled the streets and there was no
ice for the horses to slip on. Much
gratitude was felt to her by human be-
| ings and if any horse said nay it was
because he didn't know any better.
We do not suppose it would do to give
Nature entire charge Of our streets.
She is capricieus and cruel, in spite of
the fact that she has just shown us
that she can be even kinder than our
Board of Public Works. But it is to
be hoped that the kind-hearted board
will initiate the example set by Nature
| on Saturday, and be as kind to human
beings as to horses. If it can't SO
broaden the scope Of its kindness it
should, we think, inquire whether horses
| like the dust that blows about here.
| And if necessary to find out it should
visit other cities. The horses must be
| protected, and if it should be discover
| ed that they don't like dust human be-
| ings would perhaps also get what the
| politicians call incidental protection.

aGaYNsT SECRET SOCIETIES.

INV I'm SklIiUGf SOC1
1t win surprise some to read that the
Swedish Lutheran Church is more rad
ically opposed to secret societies than
is the Roman Catholic Church. The
latter tolerates membership in some Sc
cret societies, and even patronizes Sc
cret societies of its own church MEM
bers of whose purposes and secret work
it is permitted to be cognizant. But
the ban in the Lutheran Church is
against all secret societies An attempt
at a recent meeting of the Minnesota
conference of the Lutherans to obtain
an Interpretation of the ban which
would permit membership in secret
benefit societies which could not be con-
sidered as antagonistic to the church,
inasmuch as they have no religious SER
vices at their meetings, failed. 1t was
pointed out that the synod of 1857, in
adopting a resolution against secret So
cieties, had made no exceptions, and il
was manifest, as one of the clergymen
said, that, the societies being secret,
no evidence as to what their ceremonies
consist of could be presented. Despite
the ecclesiastical prohibition many
Lutherans are members of secret ben
eft societies, and it is announced that,
in their behalf, an attempt will be made
at the next synod, to be held in Omaha
in June, to modify the restriction. OF
interest in this connection is a state

An important and costly blunder has
been made in New Jersey. Newark
some time ago contracted with the East
Jersey Water company for a new sup
ply of portable water from the Pequan-

be delivered daily and the price was

dent and the distance from the i'm
pounding reservoirs to the city the en-
gineers laid 4S-inch pipe of steel,
which they calculated would convey
nearly &C, 000, 900 gallons of water daily.
Now the pipe line has been tested and
its capacity has been found to be not
more than 100000 gallons. Fortunate
T. Newark was protected by the con-
tract from loss occasioned by the err
ror. but the water company has just
been compelled to begin the construc-
ton of an auxiliary main which will
cost more than 81, 100000.

A Boston paper says that in early
life the late Governor Greenhalge of
Massachusetts, was Indifferent to politi-
cal honors. Some of his friends thought
he should go to the legislature long be-
fore he was elected a. member, but they
found it impossible to get Mr. Green
halge to take q lively interest in the
matter. He rarely went to a caucus,
but in walking home one evening he
got a surprise. The Republicans were
leaving their caucus as Mr.. Greenhalge
was passing the door. To one OF them,
a stranger, he said: What has been
going on in the ward room?" The en-
thusistic voter said: 1--WE have been
holding a caucus and we beat that man
Greenhalge for Representative out OF
his boots" Afterward Mr.. Greenhalge
enjoyed telling this as a good joke upon
himself.
