It says: We know that the members of the legis- lature are respectable men and good citizens of fair average ability. We believe this will apply to the major ity. The unaccountable thing is, how can they be such knaves, or fools, or both, in their collective capacity"

A correspondent of theNew York Tribune thinks 1t may interest the ' public ID general to know that in 1889, during the first great influenza ! epidemic, the board of health of the city of London advised the public afflicted with the disease to make | free use of hot lemonade. The per spiration caused thereby is in most cases sufficient to relieve the patient from the attack, except where medi- cal skill is absolutely necessary.

CONGRESS IN BRIEF.

Congress reconvened after the holi-
day recess on Wednesday, The peace
treaty was sent by the president to the
senate, which referred the document to
the committee on foreign relations The
senate transacted no other business, adj
journing out of respect to the memory
of Senator Morrill, after making the
customary observance. The house had
under consideration the proposed new
criminal code for Alaska and also adj
journed in memory of Mr.. Morrill,.
In the senate Thursday Mr.. Caffery
(Dem) of Louisiana continued his
speech in opposition to the pending Nj
caragua canal bill. Mr.. Berry (Dem.) of
Arkansas presented a protest from Con-
federate veterans in his state against
Senator Buffers proposition to pension
the soldiers of the south. Mr.. Hoar
(Rep) of Massachusetts and Mr. CAT
ferry gave notice of their intention to
speak upon the anticolonial resolution
offered by Mr.. Vest (Dem.) of Missouri.
The house passed, among others, the
bill for the creation of an additional
judge in the Sixth judicial circuit-the
place supposedly intended for ex-Secre-
tary of State Day-and gave some con-
sideration to the proposed new criminal
code for Alaska. A resolution of inquiry
as to the status of ante bellum claims
against Spain was adopted.

half of these he Immediately discarded.
He continued the discarding process I'M

AN ALARMING CONDITION.

The Rev DR.. Buckley, in the Christian
Advocate, commenting on the recent re-
port of the State Dairy Commission of
New Jersey, ending November /, says:
The report shows 752 samples of food
and drugs were analysed, and that of
these 208 were adulterated. In the case of
cream of tartar, 81 out of the ITO of the
samples examined were found to contain
foreign substances, chiefly starch and
sulphates. In honey and syrups more
than half the samples were found to con-
tain glucose. This was also the case
with molasses.
When we directed attention some
years ago to the amount of adulteration
in honey, as discovered by the late Prof
Jesse Battershall, several honey dealers
Indignantly expostulated with us, one of
them denying that any authorizations had
ever been discovered in honey.
Chicory was found in many samples of
coffee. The commissioner declares that
this is not injurious, but is an imposition
in a commercial way. More than half
the samples of tomato catsup contained
salicylic acid.

simples, the more certain he ought to be

NEW YoRk's GOVERNOR.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was on
Monday last inaugurated Governor of
the great State of New York, and it
would seem that no governor ever entered
upon the duties of his Office under more
suspicious circumstances. AS man
and as a soldier Theodore Roosevelt is
enshrined in the hearts of his country
men, and as Governor of our richest and
most populous State there is every
reason to believe he will more than full
fill the highest hopes of his well wishers.
In his inaugural address he said:
1t is only through the party system
that free governments are now success
fully carried on, and yet we must keep
ever wildly before us that the usefulness
of party is strictly limited by its USE
fulness to the State, and that in the long
run he serves his party best who most
helps to make it instantly responsive to
every need of the people and to the high
est demands of that spirit which tends to
drive us onward and upward.

spANIARDs EvAcuArE cusA.

On Sunday last January y Castel-
lanos, the last of SPANS Captain
Generals in Cuba, formally delivered
the government of the island into the
hands of General Brooke, and went on
board the steamship Ribot, saying he
expected never again to set foot on
Cuban ground. General Gomez and
other Cuban officers were present. Thus
ended tragedy which may be said to
have begun four hundred years ago.
The Spaniards, it is said, retired
with very bad grace from posi-
ton which has strained their country's
utmost resources to hold; but no one ac-
quainted with Spanish character ex-
pected them to do otherwise. Wholesale
murder in the name of the Cross will no
more be committed on the soil of this,
the most fertile ground in the Western
World, and the Island of Cuba should

pledge, in which it undertakes to estab-

the people of Cuba; and as rival CAPT

that there will be no lack of money to

vice will receive every consideration due
them, and need have no fear but that
our representatives will do that which is
best for all the inhabitants. A pleasant
incident on Sunday was the manner in
which the firemen of Havana welcomed
the change of government. A cable
message to the New York Telegram says:
The most spectacular incident within
the palace was when the bombaras, Ha-
vana's fremen. dressed in full uniform,
crowded into the reception room unex-
pectedly and gave three rousing cheers
for '.Los Americanos." They captured
General Brooke's heart, and the genial
old general shook hands all around with

uNTAueHT BY EXPERIENCE.

The Rev. T. /. Coultas delivered an
excellent sermon in the union meeting
on Tuesday night, on 1.-THE Church"
The reverend gentleman was particu-
larly happy in urging and encouraging a
spirit of unity among the various
churches. How much such unity was
needed was painfully evidenced towards
the close of the meeting when the Rev.
s. q Batten introduced subject upon
which, we presume, every one present
agreed, the licensing of the Farmers
Hotel, though that was not the time or
place to bring it up.
About that, however, there may be
differences of opinion. But there is no
difference of opinion about the highly
improper and ungrounded attack which
Mr.. Batten made upon the last Grand
Jury for not bringing in an indictment
against the house in question. The fore
man OF that Grand Jury, who was pres
emit, was prevented by his oath of secrecy
from completely exposing the dimsiness
of Mr.. Batten's charges. He did, how
ever, make the statement that only one
witness, and that an unwilling one, was
produced in the case.
Mr.. Batten should not be expected to
be intimately acquainted with the laws
of New Jersey, but he ought to be
sufficiently well grounded in Scrip
ture to know that it is "outof the mouth
Of two or three witnesses that every word
shall be established However, we
suppose the community must submit to
! an occasional outburst of Mr.. Batten's
yerratic genius.

4 If we may judge from recent editorials

Morristown to reach.
There is no more danger of the moral
ity OF the inmates suffering mile or
two from Morristown than there would
be if the Almshouse were mile or two
from somewhere else.
The State government, realizing the
necessity Of careful inspection of county
institutions, has vested the duty ofinspec-
tion in the State Charities Aid Associa-
tion, and it would be unwise to place the
Almshouse where that inspection would

The BLANKET BALLOT.

The Elizabeth Daily Journal quotes
Senator johnson of Bergen as saying, in
reference to existing election laws:
l don't know of any important revision
that should be made. 1t seems to me
that the substitution of the blanket bal
lot for the form of ballot now in use in
this State will tend more than ever to
curtail the action of the independent
voter. 1t is not clear to my mind but
that the ballots as now printed in this
State are preferable to the blanket ballot.
To which the Journal aptly replies
AS between blanket ballots and the
present system, the blanket ballot has
one advantage. 1t contains the names
of all the candidates, and it compels the
voter to do little thinking. He must
pick out and mark the names of the men
he wishes to vote for. The man who
can't do that does not deserve to have a
vote.
Those who have voted the blanket
ballot will testify that the Journal has
correctly stated the case.

shovel Your Walks !

To the Editor Of the CHRONICLE
Why are not the laws enforced in re-
gard to the removal of snow from the
walks? Some people seem to be privileged
in this matter. There are many walks
from which the recent snow has not
yet been removed. This is not fair to
the public. Why should remove the
snow from my walk, when my neighbor
is permitted to allow a bed of slush
ankle deep to remain in front OF his
house, for the public to wade through?

aware Of the condition of the walks Of
