An Imposition on the State.

From Camden PostrTelegram, Rep.l
If the Governor really believes that the
present system of publishing the laws in
pamphlet form is the best method OF getting
the laws to the people at large, why in the
name of common sense dosen't he stir up
the printer who is getting out these pamh-
lets. We don't know who the printer is,
but he is mighty slow with his work, I'M
less he is handicapped by failure to get the
COPY from the Secretary of States office.
Nearly two months have elapsed since
the Legislature adjourned, and half OF the
laws are not printed. Had the Governor
signed the bill providing for prompt publ
cation of these measures in the newspapers
the people would have spread before them
by this time all the laws passed at the last
session.
The present dilltory method of pamphlet
publication is not what the people want
and, furthermore, is an imposition on the
State

PANIC ON ST. VINCENT
Streams Of Molten Lava Poured
From Soufriere.
VILLAGES LOOK LIKE A DESERT

Kingstown, Island of st. Vincent
May 22.-Another great eruption of the
Soufriere volcano occurred on Sunday
night. Throughout Sunday the adj
joining districts trembled, and some
of the shocks were felt here. Smoke
issued from the craters and assures OF
the mountain, and the atmosphere
throughout the Island OF st. Vincent
was exceedingly hot. While the wor-
shippers were returning from church
at $50 p. M, an alarming luminous
cloud suddenly assembled many miles
high, in the north of the island. and
drifted sluggishly to the northeast. In
cessant lightning fell on the mountain.
and one severe flash seemed to strike
about three miles from Kingstown
The thunderous rumblings in the era
tiers lasted for two hours, and then di-
minished, until they became mere MUIR
murings. The remainder Of the night
was clear. Ashes fell from 10 O'Clock
until midnight.
The inhabitants were frenzied with
fear at the time of the outbreak, dread
ing a repetition of the catastrophe
which caused such terrible loss of life
on this island. They ran from the
streets into the open country, crying
and praying for preservation from an
other calamity. No one on the Island
of st. Vincent slept that night.
Reports received here from the dis
tricts in the vicinity of the volcano
say that the rumblings of the craters
were appalling, and that streams OF
lava flowed down the mountainside.
The villagers who had fled to Cha
teau Belair and Georgetown for safety
are now pouring into Kingstown, this
being the furthest town from the Sou
friere.
The Royal Mail steamer Wear is
bringing refugees here from Chateau
Belair. Kingstown is now congested,
and the demands on the government
are increasing rapidly, as more and
more people are Obliged to leave their
homes.
The continuous agitation of the vol
Sc0O ft1k0 L1lC dD6CllCO I'll Idlu Has
caused the vicinity of the afflicted vii
lagos to look like portions of the
Desert of Sahara.
A thick, smoky cloud overspreads
the island, all business is suspended
here, the streets are empty, and every
one is terror-stricken The feeling of
suspense is painful. People pass their
time gazing at the northern sky, where
the thunder clouds gather and the
mournful roaring of the volcano is
heard
Ashes and pumice are falling slowly
in the out districts. On Sunday there
was an alarming report that Enham
mountain, near the Marriaauia Valley,
an old and apparently extinct crater,
is showing signs Of activity. This vol
cano is only six miles from Kingstown.

Governor Murphy's Turn About.


What has been happening in the Cover
nor's Office lately? He seems to be taking a
hack track-to have made clean turn
about-on the South jersey child labor
nroblem, and on the subject, too, of the
worth and industry and trustfulness OF the
States force of factory inspectors. The
promise of improvement and reform and
really strenuous enforcement of the factory
regulations, seems to have been made only
to the ear of the public 1t was the Cover
nor himself who pointed out the laxlty and
utter ineficiency of Inspector Ward s
administration. 1t was he who publicly
niloried this over-fat head of the factory
force. The laboring men were given some
thing like assurance that the awful condl-
tions existing in the South Jersey glass
factories would be radically changed. He
put his name at the bottom OF the bill
recurring the inspectors to do an honest
eight hours per day work with blackness
Of ink that led people to believe that be
really meant to enforce it. To-day all this
is changed. One would think from the
views he expressed that he regards the
chief and his subordinates as really

them all clear bills of health Chiei

There is every indication that the Hon.
"Marc'' Hanna will carry the sobriquet,
Subsidy Hanna" during the rest of his
political career. Only twice during the
Fifty-Seventh Congress has the Junior Sena-
tor from Ohio made speech in the Senate,
once when he vigorously advocated the
ship subsidy bill, and once last week,
when he rose up to support bill which
granted subsidy estimated at $1,000, 600,
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
This bill, which provides for Union
Railway Station" in Washington, grants to
the company named funds and concessions
which the attorneys Of the company them
selves admit to be worth 81, 700, 900. The
whole history of Congressional legislation
in which the company named has been
| interested is of the most unsavory character
but this bill is the most infamous of all the
measures so far passed and the circum-
stances which attended its passage are, to
say the least, peculiar. On Wednesday
evening there was manifest very general
determination to return the bill to the
that time would have undoubtedly so re-
suited, but the friends of the bill secured
the postponement of the vote until Thurs
day. What happened in the interim
cannot ascertain, but on Thursday morn
| ing, at an hour when ordinarily but few
Senators are present, practically all were IL
their seats, and by an almost straight party
vote, the bill was passed. Senator Hans
brough, who had warmly urged the adop
ton of substitute which provided fol
municipal ownership of the depot, voted
against the measure After the vote wa
taken it was everywhere remarked tina
Senator Hanna was regaining his former
leadership. While the Department o
Justice is proceeding in the courts agains
the northwestern railway Merger, anc
against the Beef Trust, the Republicans il
Congress are practically ratifying a mergel
of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio lines, and granting a subsidy OF 81,
900, 600 to the railway trust. Here IS
magnificent opportunity for the Presiden
to exercise his power of veto to the grea
, embarrassment of his political rival, Hanna
and at the same time prove his sincerity il
his opposition to trusts. 1t should be
5 remembered that, of the amount stated, {
large portion will be paid directly out o
) the United States Treasury, and the tax
payer will have Subsidy Hauna" to thank
