will bestow upon the doings of the lawmakers
a certain amount OF contemporaneous human in
terest attaches 10 the announcement that AS
semblyman Burnett is prepared 10 push the
Pure Beer bill, with whose precarious fortunes
he has been identified for several years. We
have not had 4 chance 10 acquaint ourselves
with its latest form, but Mr.. Burnett is conf
dent that he has overcome all the objections
which have heretofore been raised against IT,
If he is not mistaken we should say that it
would be quite safe and seemly 10 pass the bill,
for the objections have been numerous and di-
versiied. Indeed, even if he is a trife too san
guine. and criticisms which he has not fore
seen should be directed at the measure which
he has tended with paternal devotion, it would
not necessarily follow that IL ought 10 be de-
feated
1t has been said already, and may be said
again, that the adjective pure" is misapplied.
some persons holding that beer never was or
can be really pure, but always must be nasty,
while others have the auGacity 10 claim that ii
is invariably pure enough for all practical pur-
poses, whatever ingredients and processes are
employed in its production. We do not know
that there is much to choose between these two
radical and widely separated contentious. The
practical fact has to be admitted that there is
a fluid which possesses the immemorial and
prescriptve right to be called beer by virtue OF
the elements which enter into its composition
and the manner in which they are manipulated.
Now If, as we suppose, this right is exclusive.
then other fluids, though Of Identical appear

declare that pure beer-that is 10 say, real
beer-is no longer liked or wanted. Very well;

danger of being deceived by labelling their
product -'beerine" or ''nearbeer," so that IL may
be swallowed with full confidence and enjoy

minority OF persons whose taste is still de-
praved are left 10 celebrate the spurious virtues
OF the original article. Thus in a short time, il
the premises are sound. the conclusion OF The
whole matter will be the total disappearance OF

however that there is extraordinary amount Of
hostility TO this bill. even among Republicans potn
in the Senate and throughout the country. AS 70
the personal feeling of distinguished and lead
ing Republican Senators know am not mis-
taken On the other hand, considerable sections OF
the Republican party seem 20 be almost in open
revolt about certain features ot the BILL and this
discomfort naturally makes itself manifest more
clearly in the once Of great newspaper than u
would to you. the known special champion OF
the bill.
Perhaps you clear UP great deal Of this dis
content. Would you mind telling directly and
specifically whom the present bill will most benefit?
Is 1t true, for example that IL viii double or treble
or. say. almost quadrupie the present
subsidy 10 the American Line. which has con-
siderable number Of foreign built ships, and exactly
built in America? Personally ! have not the
slightest hostility this line, and glad they

The automobile clubs have been moved with
compassion for bewildered travellers on the
roads stretching east and north OF Manhattan.
They propose TO set up a sufficient number Of
conspicuous signs between New-York and Bos-
ton, between Boston and Newport, between
New-York and Albany, and at many points on
Long Island. that the pilots of the sef-rnotors
may not lose their bearings. This establishing
of landmarks will be Of much use not only TO
the members Of the clubs but also TO the gen.

comnendation. But local officials should not
be so lax as to leave such needs to be met by
