Mothers Meetings" for Magazine.

In the current number of the La
dies Home journal is begun new
and rather novel department which is
called "Mothers' Meetings." and
which is to treat solely the subject of
the proper education of children. 1t
is the outgrowth Of editorials on this
subject which have appeared from
time to time in the ./onynaL and in
it will be printed the actual expert
ences of parents who have learned
from experience the criminality of the
modern "cramming" system at schools
and the evils arising from late hours,
or social evenings for children at
home. The desire is that this de-
partment shall be contributed by
readers of the magazine.

The attention of the Car of Rus
sia has been called to the useless
ness of the 1900 Russian monks in
the 742 monasteries, and he has de-
terinined that they shall be made
to devote some of their time to car
ing for the sick and educating the
poor. In all the monasteries there
are only 1898 beds for the sick,
and eighty-four houses in connec-
ton with them i'll which the poor
are housed. Not a single monas-
terry supports school. The Car
evidently does not approve OF this
monkey business.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 80 I9c
FOR STATE SENATOR.

For some years past Columbia
county has been in district which
has been represented in the State
Senate by man who has been a
credit to the district, TO the state,
and to the Democratic party. This
man has been and is the recognized
leader of his party in the Senate ;
he has been urged to accept nom
iuation for Congress in his own
county of Lycoming, repeatedly /:
his name has been prominently
mentioned as candidate for Gov
ernor he is one of the most active
and prominent Democrats in the
state, and his sagacity and wisdom
as lawmaker have made him a
most valuable representative of the
people i'll the halls OF legislation
We refer to Hon. ]. Henry Coch-
ran, of Williamsport..
Last week we suggested the
name of Hon. w. T. Greasy as a
possible candidate for the Senate,
but he informs us that he will not
be candidate for that office. This
yeai is an important one, as there
are so many offices to be filled. 1t
is very necessary that good strong
men shall be nominated in order
that the state organization may be
helped and strengthened. This is
especially true of the district nomi-
nations for Congress and the State
Senate. Strong influence has been
brought to bear upon Senator Coch-
ran, and it is said that he has con-
sented to be candidate for re-elec-
tion, fact upon which the Democ-
racy of the district is to be congrat-
ulated.
We have heard of no candidate
in Columbia county, and it would
be handsome thing if the Sena-
torial conferrees of this county
could be rendered to Senator Coch-
ran without opposition.

A paragraph in newspaper

during the Paris Exposition party
of ladies from the United States
made inquiry for All Ice Cream

said do you want something to
drink with your cream? If so, you
will find one at giving address,.

In approaching the question of
the granting of licenses, it is to be
remembered that no license is neces-
sary to enable or authorize person
to keep and maintain a house for
the accommodation of the public
and the entertainment of strangers
and travellers. The question of
license is wholly confined to the
right and privilege OF selling at that
place vinous, spirituous, malt and
brewed liquors, or any admixture
thereof, by retail III less quantities
than one quart. And although the
Brookes law says nothing about
rooms and beds and stabling and
other necessary appliances for the
comfort and convenience of guests,
the public and strangers and travel
ers. yet by other unrepealed laws
such things are required, and it must
be shown that all applicant for a
Hotel, Inn or Tavern is provided
with all such things as 60 to pro-
vide and secure the accommodation
of the public and the entertainment
OF strangers and travellers. Having
shown that to the Court, the next
step is to show that there exists a
necessity at that place for such a
house for that purpose. And that
he is proper person to keep and
maintain a house where vinous,
spirituous, malt and brewed liquors
are to be kept and sold.
1t has been held that it is the
duty of the Court to grant license
for a hotel when there is necessity
for the house, fitness Of the appli-
cant and sufficiency of the accom-
mediation and that it is the neces-
sity for a hotel or eating house
which is to be considered; the
necessity for license to sell intox-
icating drinks follows as necessary
incident and that the true object Of
the license laws'is the accommoda-
ton of all classes of citizens and
where the higher classes are sufh-
ciently accommodated, ii may be
necessary to grant additional Ii
censes for the accommodation of the
humber citizens. And SO it has
been said, the necessity OF license
to sell liquor must be made to ap-
pear distinct from the necessity for
a hotel or tavern. From all that
has been said no rule can yet be
formulated or established which
