THE LEUISLATUBK.
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.

[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.

“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.’
