The borough has no money with which to grade the streets; the correct grade will not and cannot be known until a permanent impro\ement is made, and the improvement cannot be made until the money is voted for and borrowed for that purpose. —lt IB rumored at Harrisburg that the State license law is to be changed like the Kaine'* liquor law in Xew York State, j The issuing of licenses is to be taken out I of the hands of the judges in Philadelphia but to remain as it now is elsewhere in the State. Another feature of the proposed law is to break up the ownership or'control of retail housec by distillers, brewers and wholesalers. One cf the attorneys for the organization states that a very large pro portion of the retail saloons are simply commission houses, selling spirits and beer for manufacturers or wholesalers. The now law will provide such restrictions as will prevent this, and send many of those now conducting saloons into other business or compel them to look for new sources of capital. A thorough protective system is to be provided for. —This rage for buttons is getting to be ridiculous. The campaign button has giv en place to some of the most absurd mon strosities lhat wero ever fastened to the lapel of a coat. It is not calculated to in crease a man's good humor to see staring him in the face after ho has made a state ment a button with the words "I'm some what of a liar myself," and he looks silly when he reads on another button that he shall "Get o(F the earth, your time is up." There are buttons that say "if you love me grin," and "Let's got married," and "Are you banding out kisseß now!" There are gold and silver bug buttons, and buttons that say boldly "I am a Democrat, but I'll vote for McKinley." And every day the variety increases. A prominent cigarette firm has about a hundred different kinds and every purchaser of a pack of cigarettes gets a button. Some men who are con firmed cigarette smokers have made collec tions of buttons that will certainly be of interest twenty years from now as showing how many kinds of a fool a man can make of himself.
