The brainy and genial Senator from
Union, Foster M. Voorhees,. was de-
servedly congratulated on every side

HORSES SHOULD BE TIED.

The ordinance providing for the fast
ening Of horses when left on the streets
is wise one and should be adopted by
the Board of Aldermen without any
more quibbling. Morristown has its
full share of runaways and an ordinance
such as is proposed will make the streets
safer for both pedestrians and those who
drive. In Plainfeld on Monday six vio-
laters of the ordinance relating to united
horses were arrested and given the OPP

 4 LIVELY SENATOR.
sas.

If Senator Hoar of Massachusetts wants to make people understand that he is not too old to make stir he is succeeding. His talk about the Philip pine question has made him famous and yesterday he added to the new in terest felt in him by vigorously pratest- upon presidential commissions. He said that these senators were, when ap- pointed, acting under the direction of and became the duly authorized agents of the president to carry out his ideas and wishes. What became of their function as senators, h. asked, when the report they make, as in the case of the Hawaiian commission, came before the senate, coordinate branch of the government? In the case of the Joint High commission now negotiating a treaty with Great Britain, and the Peace commission now in Paris, there were the same objections, but applied with greater force Senators should hold aloof from such positions because their acts as commissioners were to he pass- ed upon by themselves as senators, a 'very reprehensible practice. He said that senators acting for the president as commission which, when dealing with foreign country, had to act as a body might be placed in the position of supporting cause which they as sena- tors would reject
 Senator Hoar's notion in this matter seems to be little delicate for these times, but he defends it we'll.

NOT so SICKENING.

One of the statements circulated about our new Hawaiian possessions is that it is easier to have some fatal disease there than it ought to be. This statement is called islander by Dr. F. R. Day, member of the Hawaiian Board of Health. He declares that no basis whatever exists for the general impression that diseases regarded as more or less trivial in Europe or Amer ica are terribly fatal among the native Hawaiians. It is true, he admits, that when measles, whooping cough and like maladies were introduced among the islanders they caused an appalling mor
 tality, but this was because of complete ignorance as to the proper treatment of these ailments, and not because of any physical idiosyncracies of the natives. Sufferers from measles and whooping cough would die in any country as fast as the Hawaiians did if, like the lat ter, they bathed in chill mountain brooks and committed daily dozen ether hygienic crimes. The smallpox epidemic of 1853 slew thousands, partly because of similar acts, and chiefly be- cause smallpox always stays its thou sands in communities unprotected by vaccina ton. In the past twelve years at Honolulu, says Dr. Day, q have seen epidemics of measles, whooping cough, the grippe, dysentery, cholera and enteric fever sweep over the place, and can truthfully say that the mortali- ty has been no greater.if anything less, than it is from the same diseases else where. During the past five months quite a general epidemic of measles has prevailed, brought here by United States troops. Only two persons have died of the disease, one in August and one in October-not very high mortal ity.' General vaccination, according

to this authority, has made small pox as little dangerous for Hawaiians as for New Workers or Londoners, and as for leprosy, the policy of segregation is fast doing its perfect work. That policy is now enforced much more strictly than ever before, and yet the number of removals annually to Molo- kai is constantly decreasing In 1893 the number of victims discovered and sent away was 211. The totals for the next four years were 13S, 1O6, 149, and 12S, and in the first ten months of 1898 the number was 75.
 This is cheering. As the Hawaiians have so much more reason to live than they had the death rate will probably continue to decrease.

 Winter riding habits possess but a small degree of alurement. Bodices with loose coat skirts are the rule. The skirts take away all the hip outline and hang Happily almost to the sad dle though sometimes they are cut off in rounded corners in front. Waist coats of very quiet fancy vestings, stock and ascot are worn. Hard derbys are the headgear, and even sombrero will not justify itself because the rest of the costume is too conventional. Blue, black, dark green and very dark gray are the coors. Skirts are all squared off, just hiding the boot. Leath- CT gloves and horsey watch chains holding the watch in the little outside pocket of the coat above the bust finish the habit. The general appearance is utilitarian, even scrubby. It is safer, and more comfortable, perhaps, than the old time velvet habit and plumed hat, but alas for the days of the pie ticuresque!

SOME RrGRT TALK.

Some of the new governors are talk
 ing all right. For instance, w. F. Stanley, who was elected governor of Kansas. He holds that ''the victory was not my victory, but the peoples;
 was only an instrument which they used to accomplish their purposes: {:
 that "the soul of my campaign was the conservative, respectable business ele- ment of the State, and that is the class of people will try to serve"; and, fin ally, If they do not embarrass me all over the State by clamoring for public position, but will help me as earnestly in giving good, clean administration as they did in making the contest for election, do not think I will have much trouble. If, however, the people who elected me only regard a party victory as useful for the purpose of re- warding political favorites, then my whole administration will be embar- rassed from the first. I do not believe such to be the temper of the people,
 We do not think that even a governor should say twill have" when he means shall have,'' but otherwise Governor Stanley's talk is encouraging. It is much to be hoped that he can do what he wants to, for if there is any State in this country that is just now in spe- cial need of good government it is Kan

President Harris of the Chicago Board of Education thus accounts for the trouble between the Board and Su- perintendent E. B. Andrews: "Dr. An drews has stood aloof when he has de- sired things, instead of coming to head quarters for them. If he had asked to have rules giving him more power he would have secured them, but he has never made a single request of an in- individual member" But pr. Andrews himself explains it thus: Opponents were made for me the moment it was known that Dr. Harper was the agent used to secure my consent to accept the superintendency The impression has been general that I am in sympathy with Dr. Harper's educational ideas. Two or three times a day I have been asked if I agreed with Dr. Harper in this view and that view. His name probably has been fatal to the success of many of my purposes, particularly where the support of the members of the Board was necessary. I have never been on close terms with Dr. Harper but he has been my friend, as many other people with whom did not agree have been"

Electric cabs are now everyday sights in New York, but in Germany the electricians have been more ambi- tious in this field, and an omnibus pro- pelled by electricity is in use in Berlin. It accommodates twenty-sx passeng- CTS and weighs 6.65 metrical tons. Power Is furnished by a storage battery of one hundred and twenty cells, which is suf- ficent to run the omnibus some thirty seven miles without recharging. The speed obtained is as high as eight miles per hour. The vehicle is twenty-three feet in length by six and half feet in breadth, and the power is communi- cated to the wheels by means of mo- tor geared to the front axle A thorough experimental trial in actual service is being given this omnibus, which, if suc- cessful, will lead to it's adoption on a number of routes.

A London society journal dwells at considerable length upon the evil wrought in English country houses by the wholesale introduction of poker into the after-dinner hours. Conversation is declared to be entirely out of date, music hath no charms, there is not even time for filtration and sentimental talk. The trade of the society novelist is, in fact in serious peril. And, worst of all, money is made more and more the nec- essary passport into the charmed cir cle of exclusive persons. No one, it is said, dares to accept an autumn invita- ton to country house without having some $2,500 to drop, if the fates prove adverse, at the card table.

TOURISTS ABROAD.
The Money They Spend Amounts TO
07OO, 600, 900 Year.

The amount of money expended by
tourists in Europe has, if official records
abroad are to be accepted as authentic,
increased enormously of late years.
There has been recently filed with the
Swiss minister of finance and customs
at Bern detailed statement of hotel
receipts in that country, from which it
appears that the gross receipts of Swiss
hotels rose from az, 800, 900 francs in
1880 to 114, 1913, 900 i'll 1894. The entire
annual expenses of the Swiss republic
amount in a year to between so, 900, 600
and $1,000, 900 francs (the budget for
this year is given at the latter figure),
and it would seem, therefore, very much
as if the hotels Of Switzerland take in
in a year more than the government it.
self does
The Swiss figures are not the only
ones furnished in Europe recently on
this point. A French record shows that
every year there are 27O, 900 foreigners
who pass from fortnight to a whole
winter on the Riviera. Every person is
supposed to expend on an average 1, 900
francs, or 5000, i'll the country. In 9TH
er words the foreign visitors spend in
the country every winter the sum of
$54, 900, 900. The English are put down
as contributing one-third of this amount;
the French themselves contribute anoth-
er third; Germans, Belgians, Dutch,
Russians and Americans contribute the
remainder. From being poor country
when it was annexed to France in 1860
Nice has become one Of the richest de-
partments of the republic.
Some figures recently compiled of the
revenues to hotels from tourists in Paris
show the average number Of foreign
visitors to be 60, 600. 1t is customary
to estimate at 10 francs, or So, day
the hotel bills of strangers in Paris
Estimating at So a day each the hotel
bills of so, 900 tourists and at about as
much more their other OUTLAWS it is to
be seen that tourists in Paris can be put
down for an expenditure of nearly $3.50,
900 day.
The total sum expended by tourists
in Europe in a year is probably not very
far from $500, 900, 900, and very con-
siderable portion of this comes from the
pockets, the purses and the bankers
balances of Americans, who are pro-
verbally the most liberal among travel
ers Russians come second, Brazilians
third. -Exchange
