The Outlook , of New Yoih , iseditoriall y championing the MercantileI as pec. ion bill novv [tending in tho StatoLegislature—a measure desi gned to l imitto sixty hours per week the time of labori>r a'l boys under sixteen and of womenand girls under twenty one ¦jear.', andOIFO to compel emp loyers to mak e

certj in obviously necessary provisions lorthe physical health of those employed bythem. Rev. llr. VV. S. Raiosford is

la-nding l.is best endeavors to secure tltopa-sago uf tlie bill, as are other well-known clergy and laymen. The Outlookciosts an editorial on tli is subject byQuoting as follows from a recent addressby ISnho -> Potter , of tl.e Episcopaldiocese of New York :

" Thc gran tli of wealth and of luxury ,wicked, wasteful , and wanton , os beloroGotl 1 declare tha t l uxury to be , has beenmatched step by Bleo by a deepenin g nddeadening poverty which has left wholeneighborhoodso! peop le practicall y wi th -out hopo and without asp iration . Atsuch a time , for the Cliurcli ol God tosit still ami be content witli theories ofiis duty outlawed by time , and long agodemonstrated to be grotesquely inade-quate to tlio demands of a l i v ing situation ,this is to deserve tlio scorn of men andthe curse uf Ontl ! Taku my word for II,men nnd brethren, unleBs you and I, andall those who havo any gilt or steward-tlii p nl" ta lents or means, of whateversort , arc wi l l ing to get out of our tlotliand ense and Fclti-h dilettanteism otHI nice, and get down among tbo peopleyvho are bat t l ing amid tlieir poverty andignorance.—JOung gir ls tor their chasily,vourig men Ior their better ideal ofri g hteousness , oltl anil young alike forone clear ray of the immorta l counigontnl llie immortal hope — then veril y theCl iu ic l t in its Mutel y splendor , itsapostolic orders , its venerable r i tual , itsdecorous ami dignified conventions , isrevealed us simply a monstrous acd inso-lent impertinence .' "

What noble, soul s t i r r ing tvorils orethese ! Coming Irom ono ol tlie mosteminent divines vi today—a man whorepresents not tbe so-called anarchisticelement, but tlie t h i n k i n g , God-fearing,well meaning portion ot N e w York'spopulation—tbey carry wit l i them greatWeight. 'Tbey should bo pondered deep-ly— not merely ai apnlicable to thisparticular bit ol legislation, but to tbe.social condit ion ol a great part of ourpopulation. All honor 10 Bishop Potterfor l i is courage in thus frankl y expressing bis opinion. May much good resultfrom it.

'TH E quest ion ol local option is to besubmit ted to the voters of this township,under tlie provisions of the new HainesJ'.'Ttci.-e taw, «£ the town eleel 'on nezlTuesday, The voters will bo called upouto decide by t l ieir ballots whether or notthe Bale ol l iquor shall - be permitted iotl io tovvnsni p dur ing the ensuing twoyeais. This matter is ouo that shouldnt. '. ba decided off hand , but Ehould begiven careful thought, to tho end that noerror nu r rudo—no injustice done. Wehopo that every voter will lay uside bisprejudice , his personal feelings , and voteas be deems best lor ibe common inter-est. This is a t ime when radicalismshould give placo to calm rensoniog, nndevery foter should seriously ponder overtlio issues involved before easting bisballot. 1 hire are two sidis to this us toev i ry question , antl voters -should en-deavor to vieyv it Irom more than a sing leStandpoint. On tlie th i rd page of tbisissue we print a copy of tlie local cptionballot. Study it und be prepared to voteas you yvish to—insking no mistake.

It should be borne in mind that if tliovoters decide by their ballots against thesale ul" liquor in the townshi p a vastamount ol damage wi l l be done tbo mate-rial interests ol' tbe t o w n , Every hotelwill he compelled to closj its doors, nndlarge numbers of peop le wl.o nru iu tli oIn tu i t i f spending their summers hero willbe compelled to go to other p laces,where« more bberal spirit is.shown. Tliere jsa largo amoun t ot money inves ted ineumnitr hotels iu this t ownsh i p, andncl ion tbat will necessitate llie closing otthose pi aces ol entertainment would bomost tinvv ia.e. While we believo fully inthe wisdom oi proporl y restricting thosale of intoxicants, we earnestly hope t h a tour citizens yvill not vote on Tuesday toruin tins portion ol tho South tsidu as aBummer resort.

THE VOTE ON LOCAL OI'TIOM.

According to the st atement of theWashington correspondent of the Hrook-l y n Eagle the Nat io na l pension roll isbeing r.tj tidly decreased. It seems tha tduring ibe six monihs preceding t i epresent year 21.112 soldiers, and sailors ,names were laken Irom tlie roll, and olthat number , 1-1 SL>S in t l iat t ime had died.As a majority »I our ex-soldiers nre elder-ly men , dealh may be expected lo beequally act ive dur ing the -ucceeding sixmuni lis, and in a feiv moro years all stir—living ox-soldiers will be laid in honoredgraves. Thus it is evident that it oarsu rv iv ing cx-soldiors and sailors wl.oserved in the i'lorida , Mexican nn.l CivilWarsare to be aided by lhe Nat ionalGovernment it must be done soon. Onlya few months ago a veteran w h o badclaimed a pension for nearly eight yearBdied , and about lour day s later a noticeeauio to lhe effect tbat bis name bnd beenp laced cn thc roll as A pensioner ; ind , iwit l i tbe notice , came a draft for severalthousaud dollars' back pension. Bat thesoldier had fought his last fight , auddeath wus bis enemy and couqaerer. I

Shall Itcsidciits ot Incorporat'dVillages Vote ror Those Offi-cer*,)

The lollowing copy of an opinion byAttorney Genera l Hancock is of specialinterest , just ot this time, to residents olincorporated villages :

A LBANY , DEOEMBBI: 31st, 1895.S. E Tennanf .T. C and LD. A. Hin-

man ,V .O„ Schoharie, N. V. '.Gentlemen:—Your letter of the 27t.li instant is st hand.You stale that tbe village ot Scholia.ieis incorporated under the General VillageLaw, namely Chapter 291, Laws of 1870,and that said village constitutes a sepa-rate road district. Y.,u ask :

1st. May the resideuts of said villagevole , at the annual t own meei ing to behel d m x t February, in the town of whiehsaid viliage is a part , for Commissioners ofHighway s for said town ?

2ml . li Bhid ek'ctorea annot so vote,i' an elector living in said til ago—havingtho otber necessary qualifications—eligi-ble to hold the office of Commissioner ofHighway.* in and for said town.

3rd . Is said village exempt from pay-roen tof taxes for the salary or lees ofCommi-sioner of Hi ghway s in and lorsaid town , nnd I'rom payment of taxesfor the opening, erection, maintenanceand repairs of nigh ways or bridges ofsaid town which are outside the limits ofsaid village ?

!n rep ly I have tbe honor to say :Under tbe provisions of ibe General

Villago Law, your vidage, being therebyconstituted a separate road distriot , isunder tlie superintendence of tbe Hoardot Trustees ol the village, wbo are Com-missioners of Hi ghways in and for theBaine , having all the powers of Commis-sioners of Highways of towns .

Chapter 262, Liyvs of 1895, amendingthe town law (sec. 38) provides :

" Wben any town Khali hare withinils 'limits an incorporated village, coosti-tutiutr a separate toad district , exemptfrom ibo supervision and control of theCommissioners of Ilijihway s of the town,and lrc m payment of any tax for toeopening, ertction , maintenance or repairsof any hig hway or bridge of said town ,without the l imits ol said village, no resi-dents of said village shall vote at anya n n u a l or special election iu such townfor any Commis-ioner of Highway s forsaid town , nor ior oi against any appro -priat ion for the opening, laying out ,main-lenance , erection or repair of auy hi gh-way or brid ge in said lown witbout thel imi t s of said vil lage. "

The geueral village law , in making avillago incorporated under its provisionsa sep irate road district , does not exemptits inhabitant )) from tlie obliga ioo topay taxes on account of road districts oftlie town outside the l imits of tbe village.

Unless, therefore , some special statuteto w deb my attention hus nut been di-rected, exempts your village from thepayment of the taxes relerrtd to in sec-tion 38 of the Town Law, as amendedby Chapter 262, Iniyvs of 1895, yoarvillage Is required io pay the,m. Theinhabi tants thereof, may vote al theelection of Highway Commissioners forthe t o w n in wh ich it is located, and aresident of tlie village is eli gible to theollice of Hi ghwey Commissioner for thetown.

Degranw, ofJamaica, dated ot Oak Hill, Fla., onMarch 25, coiaTeys the unpleasant newsHint ho has been in poor health allwinter , suffering Irom carbuncles, andconfined Co his room Tor over sis weeks.We jud ge from the tone of his lette rthat he is now regaining hii health, andtrust he may hereafter be exempt fromsnfferiog. 0..1. Degraow sajs that theorange trees are cominrr out nicely ; thereare so-ne bads, but there wiil be no lruitof eny consequence in the Oak Hillsi'Ciion this jejr. He says last year'sgreat freer.3 left Florida in poor condition ,and it will be some years before sheregains her lost ground. Since January1 Vol. Vcgranw and family have beenenjoy ing all kinds of vegetables grown inthtir own garden , and at the time ofwr i t ing greon corn and strawberrios wereinclude.) in their daily bill ol faro. Whenfish are desired nil that is required is togo down on the dock und ealch os manyslieepsliead as are needed.

Col . Dejjrauw says he recently maOoa call upon a friend , Mr. Theodore B.Allen , of lirooklyn , yvho has a place atOak Hill . Ue found ilr . Allen fidliioglor mul l e t in a novel way. The hawkswould catch the fish from the lagoon , andas Ihey soared over Mr. Allen's placetha t gen t leman would discharge- a shotpun (not aiming at the birds , but simplyWring in the air .) Tho birds ; woulddrop the fish , nnd Mr. Allen 's dog, whichhad been trained to do Ibis, would t.ickthe lit-li up and br ing ihem to his "taster.

Jdg7~The S) ON »I. has always contendedlhat in political allairs a boss or leader—we believe tho words 10 be synonyui 'j iis—is a necessity . Our n aders, whetherthey agree yvith U3 in that particular ornot , will no doubt boinlorested in readingthe tollovviug statement in regard to theorig in of the word boss. We take itfrom a letier on political matters fromthe pen of ex-Mayor A.Oakley Hal l , ofNew York , printed in the lirookl ynStandard Union ot Saturday :

I notice lhat many Dewspapcr writersStumble over this Knickerbocker word" boss." It is purely of New Amsterdamor New Yoik ori gin. The Hollander knewo landed proprietor ol power os a "baas ,"pronounced precisely as idaDj* ppehs it— boss . The word v?a» first heard about1300 in tliia city, as applied to a Tammanyfarmer of power named uunj ed Purdy,auu paraphrased from the aforementionedold Dutch word. As lar back as Jacksontimes, Uld Man Frank Blair was a Na-tional boss . During lhe Civil War oldThud Stevens was a boss. And soonevery Mate lound ore in each party.Thero ir iUft of necessity be such a onein any party. Senators Murphy aud Uillaro ilie Deinocralic bosses o£ this State,ns Plait is the r cognized Slate boss ofthe Kepuoli tat is . He certainly carriedthis Stato I'or U.'irri9t<n in lb84, and be-cause Hnrrist .n quarreled w i t h l.iiu , Har-rison lost 11 iii 1888 . Again I say letno Kei.ublican de e. ale to the St. LouisOonvention underrate Hie sagacity,acumen id resources of Bos, Plait'sfertile mind . Il he or nny politicalmanager should do so, "ho yvould beleft."

J3F"Walter L. Suydain , of BluePoint , is not a Long Llander by birth ,but by adoption . He is, however , nsthorou ghl y and sincerel y aitacbed lo hisinsula ) home an if he hud been ben here.This at taebment found expression , onThursday lust , In Uie lollowing resolutionoffered by Mr. Suy dain at the RepublicanConvention ot llrookliaven town :

The Republicans of tbo town olBrookhaven, in convent ion assembled ,do declare the recent changes inthe names of Long Island villages to beunwise and undesirable, and do deplorethe loss of the old , familiar, histoiicnames; therefore

Kest.lved, That we request the PostOllice Department of the United Statesand the officials of tho Long IslandUivi\r. .ad not to make- turtl ier changeswithout due notico und that a publichear ing ho granted to the inhabi tantsof the locality when any change of nameis proposed.

Well done , Mr . Suy dam . Youlresolution was a timely one, and yvohope it yvill he beetled.

I5^"a\ very strong sentiment iu favoroT a puni-j lnnem lor murderers that shalls tr ike terror to the beans of the «en-eral public seems lo pervade the toivnoi Hempstead just now. Tlio electricchair is considered too mild ami easy alorm ol death , besides lacking tbe exam-ple as n lea«on that a public executionpossesses. It may be returning to sbarbaric tendency, bnt ihe seulimentsurely exists, and not alone in lhe toyvnol Hempstead either. — [ I s l a n d .

Jackson and Jarvis, lhe murderers ofS. Jones, antl Ilugg, iho strangIt.'r ,were al!pub licly executed in Queens Co.by meansof the guilt ,ws ,and other colortd men havobeen severely punished lor variouscr imes ; the deterrent effect of the pun-ishment seems to be lacking, however.

The objec tol the company is merely to have goodroads , nut to make any monet* as a resultol the unde r t ak ing .

ism is lhe proposal to teach dentistry inthe STJI IOO IS. —[ World.

If it were possible, iu tlio few shortyears allowed the average cbilJ in whiohto procure an education , to thoroughlyteach dent i s t ry , tliere would be no goodreason for protesting against it beingadded to t h c curriculum. That yvouldat least be a usclul siudy. But for tbe" rank and file " of children there is onl yt ime in which to-learn a lew il i ings , andit is best that those be lhe sludies lhatwill te broug ht 111 0 d-til y use in afterlife.

Of course.•* No rogue e'er lelt lhe la ter draw

Witb eood oploloo ol tbe law."But this do;s not prove anything.

A l l murderers would naturally oppose

punishment of any kind. Capital pun-

ishment lias never thus lar abolished

murder , neither did it prevent stealing

when thu was a capital crime. Life im-

prisonment woald prevent imprisoned

murderers from repeating their oflense ,

and Hat is all the punishment a human

tribunal can properly inflict.

a week apart , there is likely to be less of

a rush to the deer plains than in former

years; but in order to " make the most of"

one day 's sport in eaeh week those wbo

do assembla there will probabl y be very

reckless and ihere will be many acts of

The Reverend Doctor evidently has thec image of his convictions.

BROOKHAVEN CANDIDATES-

Patchogue, L. I., April 1—SupremeCourt Judge Wi lmot M . Smith bas de-cide! that villages incorporated under lhegeneral village incorporation law mayvote for Hi ghway Commissioner, but notfor town highway appropriations. Tbisdecision was brought about by WilliamII. Pierson , the Republican candiaate .'orHi ghway Commissioner of the town ofSouthampton , who j o ight to compel thetown olficials to place his name upon thegeneral ballot lor the entire towu ,it beinggenerally understood that the incorporat-ed villages could not vote on bigb*aymatters, and that there was to be aseparate ballot lor Highway Oommission-tr. This dc-ist'on concurs yyi 'h tfreopinion of j Utoroey General Hancock ,that a villagu incorporated under thegenera l lair may vote at the generalelection lor Hi g hway Commissioner,and that a resident tbcrein iseli g ible for tha ollice and thatthe incorporated villages are not exemptIrom tno obligation 10 pay taxes onaccount 01 road distiicis ot the town out.aide t h e l imi ts of ihe village.

This decison wii l cause mnch troubleamoDg tbe clerks of the towns in whichthere are incorporated villages, as theorders for the town ballots, including Ibeseparate Hi ghway Commissioner ballot,have been given and in some instanceshave been printed.

Tne Inspectors of Election iu Brook -haven town were notified a week agolhat Patchogue could not vote for High-way Commissioner.

"I feel that I shonld be wanting incommon gratitude should I fall to tell thebenefit my wife has derived from Hood'sSarsaparilJa. She became seriously 111from running ulcers, caused by poorness o!

Bloodand was strongly advised by a friendto try Hood's Sarsaparilla. She said Itbad cured ber and would no donbt coremy wife. So we tried it , and to arty thatIts eflect Is wonderful, is only using amild expression. It appears to be build-ing up a new constitution for her; and,as we are a family of eleven, there areeleven of us rejoicing at the result.

" If the foregoing induces only one per-son , suffering in ths same manner, to tryHood's Sarsaparilla, I shall feel more thanrewarded." ELIJAH PACEEB, 1585 Mon-roe Street , Brooklyn , N. Y.
