Prize Money and the Navy.
philadelphia Bulletin.

u HIIuuOIIIIIItl IIHItVNIusT
We think it not unreasonable that the
people should be asking whether the Gus
tom OF awarding prize money to the Off
GERS aud men of the navy ought not to be
abolished. That the custom is a relic OF
the days of pirates and privateers we
are all aware. That in the case ofpriva-
teers it possibly should be continued is
fairly open to debate But that in the
case OF the regular navy its continuance
is of doubtful value there is not the
slightest reason to disbelieye.

American theatre. The whole play is
produ ed for the avowed purpose OF
gaining recruits and stimulating an
archism. The scum of foreign lands
are told great tales of the personal
freedom a"owed in this country, and
as a result we get the scum, and not
the cream, of such countries. America
has suffered untold loss and trouble
by these a''ens, and but for political
reasons they would have been bridled
long ago. The New Jersey denoue-
ment 8 ffords splendid opportunity for
discipl;ning them, and we can but
hope that the Italian government will
enter such protest as WI spur our
own government to action.

is OUR humb' Q opinion some OF the
urban newspapers Of Viz MA have
done the be-, .re'emolt OF the country
folk an .~jrst'oa '1cle m'~g that the
are 10th to eve up the county coW
system "a it g. SIS r1der the Under
wood constitution. I le it :, there
are those who favor the present cOun-
ty coucS system in orde- that they
may meeJ az tha'r respective county
seats month :. have a good time and
possibly get ON "A ir~y; but such "A sen
t;ment does not PIE dominate among
the indust .ors pol zion Of the rural
popu'at on On the contrary, the
farmer IS o',al put to much trouble
and inconvel enc by beng sum
moned to CO... wh'e busy with his
crops, and jr"y and witness fees and
mileage do not compensate him for
the tire LOST from IS farm. In deal
ing with the subject tire Convention
should have an eye to that class Of
the peop'e who are the taxpayers -
the backbone of the State, rather
than to satisfy the chronic cravings
and morbid curiosities OF those per-
sons who contribute little, if any
thing, iuSo the States treasury. We
think the city press has fallen into
error on this point and ore well cal
culated TO m'slead those members
of the Convention whose intercourse
with the country people is limited.
