The republican majority in the Penn
sylvania legislature is going to enact
a libel law which is worse than that of
New Jersey, if that could be possible.
And the legislators openly admit that
the law is to be passed in order to muz-
zle the press. The fact that it con-
flicts with the constitution of the
State cuts no ice with these virtuous
and justly indignant gentlemen Pat

New Jerseys conscience fund was
enriched on Tuesday by 1925 received
by State Treasurer Briggs in re-
gistered letter postmarked Philadel-
phia. The letter was signed by IF
II. Marion" and stated that the
writer felt that the money belonged
to New Jersey. Two of the bills
were of the issue of the Mechanics
Bank, Of Trenton, while the others
were of various denominations and
origin. This is the first conscience
money the state has received i'm a
number of years.
Pennsylvania has passed a law
under which the minimum salary of
any school teacher in that State is to
be not less than $35 per month. Here
tofore their salaries have been ground
down as low as $25 month in many
instances. There is a growing senti-
ment that New Jersey should pay its
public school teachers more than they
have been getting, and it ought not
require law to compel the boards to
do so.
According to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, an old negro named Ed
mund Williams, who was born in
Texas, appeared in Eagle Pass. in
that State, to see if the news he heard
about the emancipation of the negroes
was true. For sixty years he has
been living on ranch in the interior
OF Mexico, and until few weeks ago
had known nothing about the events
of 1876.
The Newark Daily Advertiser has
been for many years inyeighing
against that provision in our constitu-
ton that makes the counties the basis
of representation in the senate. Just
think what combination the rest of
the State would be up against if the
senators and assemblymen were chosen
on the basis of population! Essex,
Hudson and Passaic would elect just
One-half of the legislators. Wouldn' t
that be nice-for the combination i?
Essex ought to be thankful for the
~ rotten borough system that pre-
tects her against herself. Trenton

How to distinguish burning on

Either sand or -four will extinguish
burning oil 1t is therefore a good
plan to have one or the other of these
ready to hand in any house where oil
lamps are much used. On no account
must water be used in case of burning
oil, as it only serves to spread the
flames and may easily cause disas
trous fire.
