A Good Ti,Ie for a rad BIN.

The legislators were terribly shocked
last night by the title proposed by Mr..
Scovel of Camden for the wicked mar
rage license bill now pending in the
House The title proposed was
"A bill to encourage immortality in the
State of New Jersey by throwing impede
ments in the way of the sacred institu-
tion of matrimony.'
We really fail to see why a set of
men should be shocked at thai title who
are not ashamed to pass the measure
which it aptly and exactly describes.
The bill is a most infamous one. 1t
is oppressive, it is n~oxious, it is incapable
of doing even the small amount of good
which is claimed for it.
All experience shows that impediments
to marriage vastly increase immortality.
It is only necessary to look at France or
any of the South German States to gain
assurance of the fact. The evils of the
so-called Camden Gretna Green marriages
may be sad, but their numbe bears an
Insignificant relation to the population of
the State. II is only too certain, be-
sides, that, if the bill passes, these cases
instead of being hasty marriages will be
something a thousand times worse in the
future.
We repeat. Mr.. scovel's title is a fit
and proper one for the bill. and the
Assemblymen who pretended to be Offend
ed by it arc a parcel of humbugs and
hypocrites if they now vote for the meas
ure.

DE SpSitI4 E1ESctkOHl REOODems r.
The Tribune contributes this asinine
suggestion.-
There will probably be an easy way
found out of the ENHANCEMENT over the
bill aboiishing spring elections in Newarl.
and Jersey City. The advocates of this
measure urge it as a matter of economy,
while its opponents are emphatic in con-
demning the change because it proposes
to make the city election simultaneous
with the general election. The latest sug-
gestion now is that the municipal cleo
tons in Jersey City and Newark be held
on the second registry day in October.
This will cost nothing, it will insure a
big vote, and it viii keep local matters
separate from State and National uues-
tions.
The p~retence is hat not enough voters
take part in the municipal elections now.
But not ten per cent. of the voters ever
go to the polling places on the second day
OF registration.
1t would not cost nothing. Ali the ex-
pense Tor printing and counting the vote
would be the same as now.
It would not insure the severance of
local and State or National issues, for
voters would be afraid to prejudice the
cause they espouaed in the greater con-
test by voting in the lesser one against
the candidates identified with it.
II We are to ave the elections punched
together on one day the separate ballot
box scheme is the only one yet proposed
that tends to diminish the evils.

Women's Endurance of Pain.

DR.. Ottolenghi reports the tests made
with Edelmann's faradimeter of the
sensitiveness of pain and the endurance
of pain in 632 women. He finds that
women are less sensitive to pain than
men, and that this sensitiveness is less
in early life, increases to the twenty
fourth year, and decreases after that.
The higher classes are most sensitive
and the degenerate least. He found the
latter class very obtuse to the sensation
Of pain. Endurance of pain varies
between much broader limits in women
than in men, reaching a maximum far
beyond the masculine limit, possibly
due to the ''greater suggestibility" of
the female sex. General sensibility
reaches the highest point in the nine
teenth year. lie concludes that sensi-
tiveness to pain stands in close relation
to the "psyche,'' while general sensi-:
biity'' depends upon the peripheral
nerves. He considers woman's com
parative insensibility to pain as a sign
of her inferiority to man, as the unciv-
ilized and degenerates are least sensi-
tive. He attempts to prove connec-
ton between this characteristic and her
longevity. Medical Record. .ssi. s,
