It .tPfM quite fitting that the question In- L wilrfBrt and which has taken a deen held " A it the popular mind, should be discussed r by physician and a minister, respective. ' ly from the eanltary and religions points of view. After be many years practice of. the prevailing mede of sepulture by ?"MUU1, the weignt or punne senumem SwO, V IVfH M UO Ui'l'UBCU w hid lien uiuua ui ' Atanoittetr of the dead bedv : and the best & fa rtnments for It are te be made from the hygienic standpoint. Ne one will dispute that if human bodies had been burned instead of buried for the past two or three thousand years, a preposition te aban don that method and te gire the corpse ever te earth's mould and the worms would encounter mere violent opposition than cremation has met. Se strong is the force of habit and the law of custom that it may be expected the cremation methods will encounter vio lent popular prejudice and superstitious horror. Against these,.however, nearly every great sanitary innovation has con tended, and every new departure has been taken after superstition some times confounded with religion had made clamorous pretest. The example of the celebrated Dr. Gress, new fol lowed with tbe greeting et Dr. Ilam mend te the Lancaster cromatlenlsts, furnished eminent scientific authority ter the new methods ; and Dr. Davis, in his thoughtful discourse, full of sugges tive facts, elaborates this phase of the subject in a convincing manner. The character of the men who, by pre cept and example, here and elsewhere, have sanctioned cremation, ought te be sufficient answer te these who seek te bring religious objections te bear against It. Such arguments have net been proved tenable, nor have they shown warrant in Kevolatlen, though persisted in with a zeal that often borders en fanaticism. Considering hew many et the church's martyrs perished at the stakr and went te glory en wings of fire, it is a little te be wondered at that nineteenth century preachers have made their pul pits the base of an attack en these mere refined and quicker processes of bodily dissolution. Since they have been the most effective and determined opponents of cremation, it is fortunate for the movement here that one of its expo nents, a Christian minister himself, of piety and learning, should have essayed te meet the sentimental objections. Rev. Hark's address answers these completely and leaves little te be said en that point. When It shall seen have been deter mined that cremation is the sanitary, sensible and economical mode of dlspe sing of the dead, and one after another of these whom the community respect for geed sense and geed meral3 yields te and embraces the new method, it will be forgotten or it will be remembered only te be wondered nt that cremation was ever opposed en sentimental or rellgleu8 grounds. ltuslncss and Laber. The business situation is a puzzle te the ordinary observer, who sees that the crops are geed and that money isa drug en the banks of the buiines3 centres' and wonders why under these conditions business is net brisk. It ought te be, and will be when confldence conquers timid ity. There is no geed reason why busi ness should be in its present condition, and therefore the probability Is that it will shortly emerge from it ; with slew and staggering step3 perhaps, but yet with a forward movement. The country Is rich and growing. The cheapness of production in it is being daily increased. The skill of our work men and the labor saving products of our ingenuity, give us a great advantage ever ether countries in manufacturing industry, which offsets the cheapness of their wages. The cheapness of labor and of wages are two very different things. Laber nt two dollars a day may be cheaper than labor at one, and the labor of machinery is cheaper than that of hands. The mixture of races In this country, the democratic freedom nnd equality, the reward wen by inventive endeavor, and the opportunity offered for energetic and intelligent ef fort make our peeple the foremost lit the world In the field of labor. Laber will prosper here when it does nnywhere, nnd It is certain that at thl3 early period in the growth et the -country there can come no long halt In its prosperity. We expect te eoe speedily n renewal of profitable Industry. We de net expect te see seen a return of the high prices of railroad stocks, which were produced by speculation and manipulation and never were justified by the legitimate earnings et the reads. But we have use ter all our railroads, and it will net be long before we will want many mere miles of track. Railroad tracks will net cease te extend until every acre of land is within easy reach of them. If enr Leg islature will but see te it in the future that no unnecessary tax is put upon our industries by the extravagant and spee ulative cost of the new rails that are laid down, we will escape hereafter the injuries that these prematura schemes have caused aud one great cause of finan clal convulsion will be removed. It is a misfortune that these heavy upsnnd downs In business prosperity should overtake the country be often, nnd it should be the careet the Legislature te avoid them. The recent re-elections of Senater Jes. E. Brown, of Georgia, nnd et J. L. Pugh, of Alabama, by substantially the unanimous votes of their state Legisla tures, is another evidence that the Seuth Is returning te the practice which ave it such great political Btrength before the war, et keeping trained and . tried men in public position. The miserable "rotation" eystem, which .j prevails in the North, and which be often strikes down a man of premise at the outset of a useful career, has gained little influence in the Seuth. Men like Alexander II. Stephens, Randelph Tucker, Wnde Ilampten nnd Sennter Lamar held" their rlaces without an apparent effort and although J. 1'roo 1'reo 1'roe tor Knett had thirteen counties in his congressional district his renomlnatien never awakened nny dissenting shrieks et locality. As a result the Southern representatives beceme conspicuous and Influential aud that section largely makes up the disproportion it suffers in numeri cal representation. Ir yen wish te bet en a certainty, wager that Cleveland will make a geed presi dent. The charge agalust cremation that it U a dangerous novelty was oneo made against steam engines. Fen theso who de net believe that cro cre cro matien far surpasses enrtli-buri.il ns a method of disposing of the remains of the dead, the Miegostien is offered that they try both nnd give an anxious publie their views thereon. Puize nenTixa in New Yerk has been knocked out. It was hit a cruel blew ba ba lew the belt by Judge Barrett and the New Yerk grand jury. The arrest of Sul livan and UreenQeld for hitting oaeh ether tee hard a week age has caused the kings of the prize ring te be very wary of thelr blows. Consequently when the mtieh advertised set te between Mitchell and Dnrke, In Madisen Square Garden took place, en Monday night, the exhibition was most miserably tame, and was witnessed by only 600 persons. Time was when 0,000 spectators were mere easily gathered. When prize fighters tap eaeh ether play fully, as the law requires, the gore thirsting audience becomes tboreagbly permeated with disgust. The deprivation of the power te hit hard has shorn spar ring contests et thalr popularity. Leng may this state of affairs oentiuuo. At the recant oleetion In New Yerk there was an important amendment te the constitution of the state passed, whieh was somewhat overshadowed by the national result in the Empire state. It prohibited cities having a population of 100,000 and ever from indebtedness In excess of 10 pur esnt. et the assessed value of the property within their limits, and restricting their tax rata te a oertain figure. The propesi tien was voted en with the result that 493,033 votes were cast in favor of the amendment te 10,301 against It. It Is passing strange that a prevision of this kind was net sooner incorporated Inte the state constitution of enr great neighbor state te the north. In Pennsylvania the debt of net even a school district may ox ex ox eeed seven per cent, of the assessed value of the taxables, and, except in a few specified Instances, no rnunieipality may incur any new debt or luorea?o Its in debtedness two per cent, en its assessed value without the assent of the elaoters at a publie elcstien. But New Yerk has made a start, and if it desires te get a few pointers in its progress, it might profitably turn its eyes te Pennsylvania. PERSONAL AnilinAl.

CLEVELAND AND THE YilCXOEU DEMO CRATIC ELEMENT. Ex-Senater Gwvn. of Washington. better known as "Duke" Gwyn, has just returned from a visit te the president-elect. Mr. Cleveland was very deoided in saying that the future et the Democratic party largely depended upon its taking a new departure en many questions that were doubtful and experimental thirty or forty years aze. While net specifying any spe etal questions he took the ground tht the wants of the country were se different from what they were in the Domeor.vio days, that it would be the duty of the party te adept Itself te the new condition of thing-i. On the subject of his cabinet he said that, se far as its individual char acter was concerned, he had net given it any oensiuerat en, prelerring te wait and hear tbe views of the representative meu of bis party. He was very decided, hew- ever, in saying that he had great faith in the yenug and progressive material of his party, and indicated that he would draw rather largely from it in making up his cabinet.
