The last session of the Legislature of 1882-83 has ended and the acts and doings of the individual members ■ - of that body will receive comment favorable or unfavor able at the ballot box in November next. It is a matter of no little inter est and concern, to know just what has been done and what will be the effects upon the business and industries of the State. With the acknowledgment to start with that improvement can yet be made in the ability and personnel of both Houses, yet it would be safe to say that the make-up of the present Genera! Assembly is infinitely superior to any legislative body that has assem bled in the State House since the war. This perhaps after all is not saying much, but it is certainly one of the encouraging signs of the times that the voters are gradually becoming more carcfbl in the selection of their representatives, and that more regard is now paid to the ability and fitness of men for the position than at the party’s first advent into power in 1876. There is much to be praised and some little to be criticised in the action of the session of the Legislature now closed. The greater bulk of the bills passed were of no public interest or concern, and as such are undeserving of public notice or public comment. Upon the other hand, some half dozen measures of lasting and far-reaching consequence to the people and to the State at large, came up, were discussed and finally disposed of, and it yet re mains to be determined whether the action upon them was wise or unwise. The defeat of the divorce law, we believe, should be a source of regret, and we do not hesitate to say that in our opinion our law-makers in their final disposition of this measure let pass by a splendid opportunity to remedy some of the wrongs and evils of our social system and by so doing promote the peace and domestic hap piness of the marriage union. A pru dently restricted divorce law is one of the necessities of our civilization, and it may be defeated upon the very threshold of the agitation, but it will be sprung and agitated again and again, and mark it now, it will in some shape or form finally pass the Legislature. Not only the General Assembly but the entire State should be congratulat ed upon the final passage of the rail road bill. The measure In pfioot takes from the commission the power to fix tariff rates, leaving with them their previous supervisory power. That the railroad law previously existing was oppressive, will scarcely be denied by anyone, and that in its operations incalculable damage was being done the industries of the State is about ns well fortified as observation, experi ence and reason could make it. Sena tor Gaillard in his admirable speech in the Senate last week upon the bill said: “The true policy should be to leave the railroads to manage their own affairs and fix their own rates, subject only to correction in case of abuse or violation of law or the rights of the citizen. This is a right that inheres in the ownership of property and a right recognized universally save only in railroad property. The amend' ment dexterously affords an appear ance of relief in the right of appeal provided, but it will not deceive the railroads. The right to invade private property is preserved, and as long as this continues it will continue to repel all enterprises in this direction.” Still other matters of importance . were undisposed of, and we can sec no urgent necessity for an adjourn ment hint die at this time. Greater and more permanent evils result from hasty legislation and from a neglect of legislative action where action is de manded, than from spending a few more dollars of the people’s money Of course we do not advocate a reck less expenditure of hard-earned money, but certainly our law-makers shouk bear in mind the objects of their mis sion and not be so anxious to adjourn and come home, regardless of the work done or the work left undone. aa« the Wlne-Ca*. [Temple Bar.] To tha end of his life Disraeli always ate vary sparingly when alone; this enabled him to keep a good appetite for public ocoasioaa, thereby rebutting the presumption which his pale face suggested—that he was consump tive. Is this connection some remarks of Ids about wine may be mentioned. Hard drink ing was in fashion during bis youth, and at public dinners men who let the bottle pass were hardly regarded as gentlemen. Disraeli, who could never stand much wine, suffered a good deal from this social usage, and he set himself to study the demeanor of men who could drink deep without being any the worse for it Lord Melbourne was one of these, and he gave Disraeli a wrinkle by saying: “You can drink if you don’t talk; if you talk much you needn’t drink, for people will think you’re drupk and let you alone.” It is obvious that the excitement of conver sation must co-operate powerfully with the fumes of wine in making the brain reel. Disraeli having noted this fact went further into the subject by observing that a man’s convivial propensities are always taken for granted if he talks in praise of wine and ap pears to be very critical about it Some of his remarks savoring of the meet refined epicureanism may therefore be ascribed solely to his temperate desire to find excuses for not drinking. He was not a judge of wines, though be pretended to be, and once allowed himself to lay down the law about Burgundy against the late Lord Sefton. Barely la Time. [The Continent] “By the way, I was speaking to a very intelligent station-master the other day about the crop holiday railway accidents. ‘Do you think,’ I mid, ‘it has much to do with the long hours T He at once replied, with the utmost warmth and eagerness: ‘Sir, you can take your stand upon that If you are ever in company where that question is started you will be right in denouncing the hours. No one will be able to reply to you then. Undoubtedly, the men are worn out, oppressed and fatigued beyond all powers of attention. “ ‘Look at that poor fellow in yonder signal- box,’ and he pointed to one hani by; ‘he has been there for twelve hours at a stretch— every day it is the same thing. That man has not even time to snatch a quiet meal, no rest, dare not relax for a minute. Well, what's the consequence! Some break down and die off, others go off their beads, and you never con tell when the break down is coming. The men won’t give in—it’s their bread; the station-master daren’t complain, and the directors know it They don’t care for the public safety; they can afford tbs damages. Human life is nothing to them, nor human hearts and brains either. Tbs thing,’ be added, ‘is scandalous, shameful, notorious.’ “At that moment an express was sighted; n ISMS” Rheumatism THE WORSTISM " TO-DAY IS RHEUMATISM IN THE BACK Cured by PERRY DAVIS'S PAIN KILLER, RHEUMATISM IN THE KNEES Cured by PERRY DAVIS'S PAIN KILLER.
