THE Department of Public Instruc
tion for New Yoi k State will award a
gold medal to the student in the com
mon schools of that State who shall
present the best essay oil a plan for
the most profitable observance of
Arbor Day; and a private individual
has i fibred two prizes, one of SIOO
and one of SSO, for the best kepi
school grounds in t lie rural districts.
Educational work of this character is
thoroughly practical and well worthy
of imitation.
UNDER the English Factory acts in
child under 10 years of age can be
employed in a factory unless a sur
geon's certificate that it is lit for tin
work can be produced. This prevents
the employment of unhealthy child
ren in occupations that would be in
jurious to them, and the factory in
spectors see to it that t lie law is et
fectually enforced. While we have in
Pennsylvania factory acts for the pro
tection of children, there is no evi
dence that lliey are enforced with any
of the strictness that is observed in
Great Britain and Ireland.
FIIOH present indications the long
looked for ballot reform promised anu
made a special plea to the voters of
both political parties before tbe lasl 1
election, is not to be realized at this
Bession of the Legislature. There
seems to be a disposition on the part
of somebody behind the scenes to
have the ballot bill laid aside and t >
take up the question of a Constitu
tional Convention two years hence, j
This is only a subterfuge by the pari \ j
in power to have the hill shelved. Ii
never was and never will he sincere in
its advocacy of ballot reform.
THERE were 200 deaths iu New
York during the twenty-four hours j
ended at noon yesterday, an increase
of 54 on tho preceding twenty-foui j
hours. Sucli a large proportionate \
increase is, of course, attributable to !
the "grippe," though, in point of fact, j
"the bleak winds of March" rarely fail i
to he attended or followed by an ah
normally high death rate. As the j
current month is proverbially showery,
it is reassuring to be told, on high
medical authority, contrary to the
popular notion, that the mysterious
malady which came to us from Russia
a year ago is not necessarily intense
tied by humidity.
THE Grangers who scan the news
from Harrisburg from day to day to
see what may have been done to
lighten the load of taxation will please
observe that the representatives who
pretend to speak for them refuse to
take tho necessary steps to carry out
the provisions of the Constitution de
vised to protect them. The railroad
companies are permitted to charge as
much for carry ing a steer or a bushel
of grain front one place to another in
Pennsylvania as they charge for
carrying a steer or a bushel of grain
from Chicago to the seaboard. While i
the Legislature is tinkering with the !
Tax laws, iu the hope of fooling the j
farmer with an impossible equaliza i
tion, the railroad companies are cut ;
ting the life out of his industry by j
unwarrantably and unconstitutional !
discriminations.
THE indictments found yesterday j
against the directors of the New j
York, New Haven <St Hartford Rail
road subject the long mooted question
of the personal responsibility of di- j
rectors to the crucial test of a crimi
nal court. If the position of the i
.State is sustained, the principle on ;
on which hoards of directors are
created will he subject to a very radi
cal change. No one man will consent
to be a director on twenty or thirty
roads, as Mr. Depew is, if a failure oil I
the part of any one of the companies
to comply with the law subjects each
director to the risk of a criminal
prosecution and imprisonment. There j
i 3 a need of a judicial settlement of |
the question of directors' response [
bility, and the present proceeding!
against the very distinguished de
fendants cannot fail to clear the at-1
mosphere materially.
THE Republican politicians of New
Hampshire, us well as those of Maine,
are determined to defeat ballot reform.
About their motives for this there is
no mystery whatever. The State is a
close one, ami for years it lias been
held by the Republicans by the sheer
force of bribery and corruption at
the polls. Since the time when New
Hampshire used to lead oil in the
elections of the year by its "March
meeting" and set the political current,
the chief business of the Republican
State Committee has been the collec
tion anil disbursement of a corruption
fund. Vote buying has been notori
ous in the Granite State, and these
Republican politicians whocoatrol the
majority in the present Legislature
are well aware that without it their
party would be without hope. That
nnd that alone accounts for their op
position in secret ballot.

The members of the Pennsylvania Leg- j
isluture will have ah opportunity this j
week to ascertain once more the senti
ments of their constituents on the ques- '
tion of Ballot Reform. When they shall :
nave consulted their neighbors we trust!
tliey will return to Harrisburg next week
and pass the bill of the Ballot Reform
Association now before the House with- j
out further delay. If the Record had
any partisan aims or wishes to serve in
this matter nothing could be more grati
fying to it than the rejection of this
measure by the Republican majority of
the Legislature. So gross and wanton
a breach of political good faith as would
be involved in such an act would be
speedily visited with popular condemna
tion. No Republican State Convention j
could expect thereafter that the people
of Pennsylvania would put the slightest I
J confidence in its platform declarations or j
jin its candidates. But the healthy polit- I
ieal development and progress of this |
great Commonwealth are far more im- j
portent than the mere triumph of any j
party ; and hence it is our sincere desire \
that the Republicans shall redeem their j
pledges in behalf of Ballot Reform. If j
the dominant party in the State -should j
have so low a standard of public morality
and honor as to repudiate its most sol- j
I emu pledges whenever occasion may I i
seem to require it, the whole political j <
j body must suffer from so degrading an I
influence.
I nere can be no valid political ground | i
for defeating tbe Ballot Reform bill be- i
fore the House, apart from the pledges 1
of both parties in its favor, since it is in !
perfect harmony with the best legisla-1
tion 011 this subject. While Republicans
bad the largest stiare in its preparation,
there is nothing in it to excite the jeal- 1
ousy or animosity of any Democrat in '
tbe Legislature or elsewhere. .The bill,
if passed, would protect every citizen in -
the Commonwealth from coercion or in- j
timidation in his exercise of the suffrage. I 1
It would prevent the bribery of dis- | '
honest voters by making bribery in- j
effectual. It would put an end to the j ;
partisan devices and frauds in the 1
l printing of election tickets by printing !
I them officially at public expense. In j
] line, this bill goes as far to protect j
I the ballot and secure an honest count |
j as it would be possible to go under the j
j Constitution of Pennsylvania. What {
| might remaifl to be done in the promotion I
| of electoral reform would be tbe work of i
j a Constitutional Convention. But first j
j of all this Ballot Reform bill should be 1
j passed, in order that tbe next general j
j election in Pennsylvania may be held in 1
I accordance with its provisions. While j
j the Republicans are pledged to this
; measure by the platform -if their last
j State Convention at Harrisburg, the
| Demoeratsare nolesssolemnly pledged in
j its favor by their last State Convention 1
jat Scran ton. In this situation the Ballot \
j Reform hill is entitled to the hearty sup-!
| port of both parties in tlie Legislature;
I and its speedy passage would be hailed
with gratification by the whole people of
| Pennsylvania.— Record.
A HcpublU'un Organ anil Ornuni/.tMl Labor.
Last Friday evening the compositors
employed on the Philadelphia Press,
comprising nearly one hundred men,
stopped work in order to compel the
management to pay the union scale of
' wages and to recognize the Typographical
' Union in dealing with its employees.
During the past few years the Press has
had considerable trouble with its printers,
' and disputes resulting in strikes and
lockouts have been of frequent occurence.
Its last trouble took place in January,
189(1, when it locked out its men for asking
an advance in the price of composition, j
Their places were filled by non-union 1
printers since that time, but the injustice
and discriminations carried on in tho
j office were too much for even the "rats"
I (the term applied to non-union printers) 1
to bear, and consequently they refused
to work. They were promised financial
i aid by the union there, which took
j charge of the strike as soon as inaugurat- j
i ed, although the strikers were not mem-!
hers of that organization. With the I
assurance of support they demanded the j
i union scale and that the office be placed '
j under union jurisdiction. Both de
| mands were refused by the Press man- j
j agement, and for the fifth or sixth time j
t in many years it was compelled to send '
its agents out and gather in the scum of
I the printing fraternity in all the leading j
\ cities from Boston to Richmond. By !
offering extraordinary inducements it I
lias succeeded in equipingthe composing-1
room with enough broken-down and
tramp "typos" to insure its appearance
1 with regularity.
To announce a boycott on the "rat" !
sheet would make the otlicers of the
j union liable to criminal conspiracy, ac
, cording to the latest judiciary decisions, |
| hut workingmen who believe in justice '
| will know the proper course to pursue in !
dealing with the Press, without any of
ficial proclamation to direct them. The
Press dreaded the effect the strike
would have upon its sale should the pub
j lie become aware of it, and to prevent l
it as far as possible the manager of the
| paper personally requested every morn
j ning and evening journal in the city to
i make no mention of the trouble.
t\ ith one exception, the Evcnieg Item, '
I the Press is the only Philadelphia
. daily under tbe ban of organized labor
t fr refusing to pay the union scale of
a wages. The Public Ledger and the Record
j l' a >' tnucli higher wages than the union
asks for, and that the fact is largely re
j | sponsible for the wonderful prosperity
! and circulation of both journals. The
t refusal to pay its employees living wages
j will not deter the Press from continuing
, as the great advocate of "Protection to
a American Labor."
r i —George McLean died in Wilkes
t Banc, yesterday, aged 57 years. He
was one of the pioneers of Cuiurada and
Montana and one of the founders of the
city of Denver, and was a Colonel on the
staff of tiie Governor of Colorada under
i the provincial government. He served

The Italian Minihtor HccallfU.
I A decided sensation was caused in of-!
| ficial circles at Washington Tuesday
afternoon by the startling announcement
! that Baron Fava, the Italian Minister, j
had demanded his passport from the
State Department in consequence of the
failure of this Government to satisfac- j
torily comply with demands of the j
Italian Government in connection with
the killing at New Orleans of persons
claimed to be Italian subjects. A de
mand of this kind is an extreme act and
is usually a precursory of a declaration
of hostilities. Pending the negotiations
between the two Governments touching
the occurrences at New Orleans, the ;
official representatives of Italy and the !
United States very properly decline to I
discuss the Questions involved with out
i side parties.
1 Whether Baron Fava was recalled be- j
j cause his Government is dissatisfied with i
• his services here, or whether the recall
j is intended to mark the displeasure of
, the King of Italy with the United .States !
| in consequence of the New Orleans kill
i ing,cannot beauthoritativelyascertained, i
An official investigation into the facts J
| of the killing and the nationality of the j
1 victims is in progress, and until that is
terminated apd the facts ascertained this
I Government will not be in position to
make a reply to the demand of tlie King
of Italy. If it is found that the persons
killed were Italian subjects the matter
will resolve itself into a simple question
of reparation, the character and extent
of dam 'ires indicted to be agreed upon '
by the two Governments. ] j

A smart, pit iv, or hum rous defitii- i
tion often turmshes a happy illustra- i
tion of the proverbial brevity which is I
the soul of wit. Here are a few apt <
ones that are evidently spontaneous: <
A hoy once said that "dust is mud
with the juice squeezed out." !
A fan. we leara from another juve
nile source, is "a thine to brush wirmlh
off with," and a monkey "a small boy
|will a tail;" salt, "what makes vour
potatoes lade bad when you don't put | ,
any on," and ice, "water that stayed
1 out late in the coal and went to sleep." |
A schoolboy, asked to define tho
word " oh," whimpered out: "It means 1
i w h 'ii a fe lor don't mean to cry an lit
j hursts out itself."
A youngster was asked to give his
idea of the meaning of "responsibility," j
so he said: "We 1, supposing I had ,
; onlv two bn tons on my trousers and i
one came off—all the responsibility
; would rest on the other button."
To hit oft' a jury as "a body of men
organi ed to find out which side has
the smartest lawver," is to satirize
manv of our "intellig nt fellow-country-
I ho word "suspicion" is, in the opin
ion of a jeal- HIS husband,"a feeling that
compels vou to try to find out some-1
thing which you don't wish to know."
A good definition of a "Pharisee" is
"a tradesman who uses long pravers and
short weights;" of a humbug, "ono
who agrees with everybodv," and of a
tyrant, "the other version of some
body's hero."
A lady's idea of a ballet crirl was "an j
open muslin umbrella with two pink '
handles," and a Parisian's of chess, "a
humane substitute for hard labor." j
Thin soup, according to an Irish
mendicant, is "a quart of water boiled
down to a piut, to make it strong."
i Of definitions of a bachelor: "un- \
altared man," "a singular being," and
| "a target for a miss," are apt enouglu
' i A walking-s'ick mav he described as
" he old man's 8 rength and the young
f man's weak' ess." and an umbrella as
1 "a fair and foul weather friend who has
. I had many ups and downs in the
j world." mmm
He Wou'dn't Trust Them.
We are reminded of an incident thai
Xscin-red in a Pennsylvania town in the
Did Whig-Locofoco times, the Loco
focoof that period being just about i
what the Democrat of to-day is. A J
Whig farmer had a son of the voting
a p, who was a Locofooo in his politic-*, ;
hut who lived at home with his father. |
On the morning of an e'action day the
old man proposed to his son Hans that i
they should pair off, and neither of 1
them go to the polls to vote. Hans j
readily agreed to this, and went off to j
, bis day's work. But not so with the j
old Whig. lie made his way to the j
, vil age and voted a regulation Whig
tic et, but said nothing. At night,
while smoking their pipes, Hans asked
his lather if he had heard how election j
I went. The old man promptly replied : |
I "Yay, it went all right for do vig j
I ticket."
! "How do you know dot, father?" j
queried Hans
"Yell, I vas dere meiosolluf," coolly |
replied his dad."
"But you tidn't vote yourselluf, tid ,
you?" said Hans.
1 "Bu I shooat tid vote," replied tho I
old Whig.
Hans in h s astonishment and wrath,
ejaculated: "Vv, you old rascal; you
bromised you vould not vote der vig
d cket if I vould not vote der locus
dick t, und I tidn't vote. Vat you i
means by dot?"
"Veil, Hans," said tho old fellow, "I I
nefer drust der hroinises of any tarn
lo -os." — Jerseu Citu (N. J.) Journa .

Hints for the Well.
When an engine is running full
I sp ed, every part in perfect play, the
engineer knows well that constant vigil
: ance is the price. If he relax his care
! to oil, polish, and examine, trusting to
, luck and good chance to take him
along safely, he will soon be dismissed
for unfaithfulness.
The human body, that perfect ma
chine, the man wonderinl in the house
beautiful, must also be looked after by
the engineer, otherwise the boiler will 1
run low when lie wishes the propelling j
power strongest, the tension snap when j
need of firm hold is greatest
One is prone to forget the "ounce ol j
prevention," but it must be remem
bered if good health is long retained.
It pays to consider the m itter. The
"hints" given are from good authority, j
and I think merit attention.
Do not wear tight clothing; the ob*
vious reason every intelligent mind ]
can see. Cleanliness is next to godli* |
ness, therefore a virtue worthy ol
praotice.
Do not eat too much. Eaeb person
can best determine for himself when
that amount is reached. Dio Lewis
says, "After all, it is not so much the
quality as the quantity." Do not eat
hot food, esp cialiy bread, and do no!
ea' late at night.
Eat something within an hour after
rising, if obliged to labor or study, or
exposed to malaria or contagion. II
! possible eit in pure air. and nor tco
I fast. No liing is gained by bolting
! food, and much harm may follow.
Drink at close of meals, not toe
strong nor too hot; never a full glass
of very hot or very col I liquid to wash
down food, as the saliva is waste 1 and
stomach tlo >d*d.
Keep the body scrupulously clean;
change clothing often worn next the
skin, and do uot economise in wash
bills. Never sleep in clothing wore
j during the day.
Ventilation caunot be accomplished
j by simply letting the pure air in; the
i the bad must bo let out. If rooms,
I especially sleeping-rooms, are not con
i 8 true ted on this plan, a little contriving
| will find away.
i Have a stated time for going to bed.
j and if possible adhere to it. "Late
i hours are shadows from the grave."
Fail not to take full respirations.
Deep breathing is one of life's strong
holds, and pure air is free.
Watch the children in regard to
health matters. Many delicate >y born
children have been reared to strength
and usefulness by careful adherence to
hygienic rules,
i Physicians differ widely in the modut
1 operandi of disease, diagnosis, and
j treatment, but all doctors of all schools
I agree in the beneficial effects of air,
| water, and sunlight, and general
hygienic principles. Christian at

The Mine Law Commission.
I The commission to revise the mine
laws met in Court Room No. 2 Monday
afternoon and began a session which is to
j last a week. Mr. Win. Connell, chairman
of the commission, is ill and could not
attend Monday or Tuesday. Vice Chair
man 11. F. Bren nan, of Girardsville, is
absent from a similar cause. J. R. Hoff
man, C. E. t of Pottsville, is acting chair
man in the absence of the above two
gentlemen. Messrs. McCarmac and
Reilly are also unable to attend from
sickness. Tuesday the question of re
vising the laws to afford more safety to
the miner was discussed. The running
of loaded cars from the face to the main
gangway was considered. The question
of dividing the various districts and in
creasing the number of inspectors was
favorably considered. At present each
district is so large that it is next to im
possible for an inspector to make such a
thorough examination as the safety of
the workingmen requires.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. Steen, of
Girardville, inspector of the Mohanoy
d'strict, and Mr. McMurtrie, of Ashland,
inspector of the Shamokin district, were
examined before the commission in re
gard to the causes of accidents in the
mines. Mr. Blewitt, of this district, has
also been invited to appear before the
commission.
The sessions of the com mission are not
as secret as has been given out. The
only objection is to a crowd of idle spec
tators whom nothing but curiosity
prompts to attend. Any one with any
suggestions to offer no matter who he
may be will be allowed full opportunity
of expressing bis views, as the commis
sion are anxious to receive suggestions
from all quarters. The sessions will be
continued in this city all week. Not
only is there nothing secret about the
session, but on the contrary they invite
every person who has any suggestion
wherever to offer. All such will be re
ceived and given an audience before the
com m ission.— Scran ton Truth.
