The skeptic comes to be the most miserable of all creatures because he is pnhappy when he believes anything. The world belongs to those who long for it," says Marie Eschenbach, which indicates that they who have longings catch on.

The great want of the country now is ftmational park in which prize fights may be allowed, to come off without Jmying up, the constabulary. The good die yeung idea. comes from the fact that many youngsters die before they have had time to disgust the world 'with their evil deeds, and so they slip in tried into heaven. In operatic circles it is noticed that the sticks who cannot sing worth a cent never disappoint audiences by becoming suddenly ill. There is no use in praying lor me illness of a bad singer.

QUARANTINE FEES The Times Democrat, commenting upon the decision of Judge Monroe in relation to quarantine fees charged by the State of Louisiana, presents to the publio some, very singular statements. Were Louisiana alone in charging vessels for purposes of quarantine there might be some excuse for the occasional ranting, about these exactions, but we do not know of a State that has taken upon itself the burden of maintaining establishments without expense to the shipping. Certainly Louisiana is not in a financial condition to do so, and is not likely to be under the present administration. The plaintiff in this the Morgan Steamship Company, pay on their steam ers at New York during nine months of the year. The usages and charges at other American ports sanctioned for many years and upheld by the courts may be referred to.

In the port of New York, according to communications from her health officers. the following Quarantine fees are charged Boarding fee for aH vessels from foreign ports 50. From coasting vessels from ports south of Cane Henlopen (during summer months between April 1 and November 1) under 100 tons $1. From 100 to 160 tons Over 160 tons $3. Boarding after sunset (additional) $3.

In case of detention and fumigation, a scale of charges according to size of vessel, all cargoes are lightered to land, and expenses of lighterage, stevedoring, to be paid by vessel. Philadelphia, according to Urquhart's work on port charges Inward clearances from English pro vinces or West Indies boarding fee, $5. If through outside clearance from European, South American or other ports than those above stated, extra $5. (Fees for fumigation, not stated.) Charleston, S. Boarding fee.

$5. (Utlubart states that a hospital fee of 20 currency on evefy vessel is exacted.) No mention of fumigation fees. Savannah, Ga. Boarding fee, $2. From Georgian ports no charge.

(From data furnished by health offi cers.) Norfolk, Va. Boarding fee (accord ingto Urquhart) 85. (According to others two cents per ton. This difference may arise from the pro visions of the Virginia code, which leaves the rate of charges to the health officers of each port, as does the Massachusetts law, under a provision to reimburse the port for expenses incurred.) San Francisco, Cal. (According to data furnished by health officers of that port.) Permit to land freight or passengers by quarantine officer: Vessels less than 500 tons, from ports outside the State, 82 50.

Over 500 and less than 1000 5. Each additional 1000 or fraction over 82 50. Steamers, 1000 tons or less, 85. One thousand tons or fraction over (additional) $3 50. Whaling vessels or vessels from Pacific ports, no charge.

The recent law which the Democrat rails at, was to amend the old system that had been in use in this State since 1855. It changed the fee to a speciiic charge, upon all vessels instead of so much a ton, in order to avoid technical objections, and we venture the assertion here that it will be pronounced constitutional by the Supreme Court of oui State, to which it has been appealed, and afterward by the Supreme Court of the United States. Under that law, only $18,000 will be collected per annum from this tax which our contemporary considers so oppressive and exorbitant; and this will be distributed over more than 1300 vessels. In case of sickness on board a vessel at a Louisiana quarantine station there is a charge of only $5 for each person who is furnished with medical attendance, medicine, until his recovery, and the maximum charge for fumigating is ISO. At New York sometimes as much as 83000 is charged for.

fumigation, unloading, lighterage, etc. If any good reason can be alleged for exempting shipping from this charge we should like to hear it. The vessels are the sources of contagion. They bring the disease to onr ports, and quarantine is largely rendered necessary by their lack of ordinary precautions. When the present bill was under discussion Dr.

Jones, President of the Board of Health, in a letter to Judge Seay expressed the sentiments of nine tenths of the people of Louisiana. Said he Tlie protection of the State and valley from the Introduction of yellow fever, emall pox, Asiatic cholera, and other forms ot pestilence, imperatively demand the maintenance, at all seasons, of an effective, well organized and liberally supported quarantine at or near the mouths of the Mississippi River. if the General Assembly docs not decide to regulate question of quarantine charges at the Mississippi Quarantine Station, but is prepared to defeat the measures now in existence for the support of quarantine, then it is incumbent upon the Legislature to include the revenues necessary to support quarantine in the general revenue and appropriation bills, and collect the necessary amount by direct taxation. If the General Assembly fail to sustain the Board of Health in the execution of the Quarantine laws, and in the maintenance of efficient quarantine at the three important avenues, the Mississippi, Rigolettes aud Atchafalaya, then the people along the Mississippi River in the valley States above Louisiana, as well as the contiguous Gulf States, will institute shotgun quarantines, and effectually close the Mississippi River annually to ail roreign commerce aurlug the months of June, July, August, September The utterly insignificant amount nowpaid (less than Kl.OOO) bv eomnipir will, in the event of the suspension of nuarantina. represented in uue millions lost in the foreign and interstate commerce.

New Orleans is fast becoming a manufacturing centre, and if the General Assembly does not sustain the quarantine system and the efforts of the Board of Health, there will le no nnft. sibility of delivering the products of her manufactories during at least five montim of the year. The people of Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee are agitated by a profound and unconquerable dread of yellow fever, and neither reason. Justice nor humanity eit in the bosoms of the victims of abject and remorseless terror. ew Orleans and their citizens from foreign pestilence, by wisely devised and sufficiently and honestly executed quarantine laws, regardless of all material and personal interests, for in the event of failure, starvation and bankruptcy will be added to the horrors of the rtesti With reference to the direct taxation of the people to support quarantine, it is evident that in the present deranged and disastrous Condition Of the tin an cab tit thA 8tate, that it will be impossible to say to what extent the taxpayers will be burdened if it rea aires 05.000 per annum to sustain the present quarantine system, and if the officers and employees are paid in warrants, it is possible that these warrants may not be worth twenty five cents on the dollar; in that event the annual cost tothetax avers would te 100,000, and in ten years a ebt of million dollars) will be saddled upon this already overburdened aud tax ridden people.

The D. at one time wanted our people to turn over their commerce to the National Board, to be handled at Ship Island, but since that body is practically defunct, and, at all events, without the means to keep up the station at Ship Island any longer, and with no prospect of getting any from Congress, this object certainly cannot lurk under its attack upon our efficient and vigilant State Board. CLEAR THE BIDEWALKi. The unnecessary and unlawful obstruction ef the sidewalks of this city has been a long standing source of complaint. Nothing very strikingly original remains to be "said upon that subject, we admit but if the Common Council would tate some energetic steps toward the suppression of the nuisance it might at least claim the credit of a new departure.

The sidewalks are intended to be literally what their name implies. They should be as completely thoroughfares for passengers on foot as the streets between them are thoroughfares for travel and traffic on wheels. They were never designed as marts for the congregation of private enterprises. These are all self evident propositions and yet they are ignored, and jnahy merchants regard the space of banquette in front of their establishments as though it was as entirely at their dis posal as their own salesrooms. Indeed, there are some vendors whose whole stock in trade is on the sidewalk, shel tered only, if at all, by the floor of somebody's veranda.

Others, doing a more ambitions business, perhaps, use the sidewalk as a sort of show case for the display of their goods and others yet keep large quantities of merchandise and gooas boxes outside their doors, awaiting apparently an indefinitely postponed removal. The consequence is that the passage is inconveniently obstructed, people are rudely jostled in elbowing crowds, clothes are torn by awkwardly protruding nails or splinters the business man is delayed and the pleasure seeker disgusted. It has been said that the little troubles, the minor evils of life, sum up a considerable part of its grand total of nnhappiness and they certainly are the causes ef the greater portion of the dis comfort of city life. Some of them are irremediable, of course but the specia evil of which we now speak can be very readily done away with altogether. The Council has only to pass the requisite ordinance and insist upon its enforce ment.

It will be understood that we do not refer particularly to those small traders who live upon the revenues of a peanut stand or on the profits derived from a bunch of bananas and a basket of oranges. "We would pot be too hard upon those humble dealers who make a scant but honest living in that way, and in their case we would only suggest that they be compelled to station themselves where they will be as little as possible in the way. The official statement by the New York State Board of Canvassers of the votes cast at the election, of November last, has at length been made public. The total number of votes received by the several candidates for the office of Governor is as follows: Cleve land (Democrat), Chas. Folger (Republican), Kpenetus Howe (Greenback), 11,974 Alphonso A.

Hopkins (Prohibitionist), 25,783 scattering, 3.355. Cleveland's majority over all is, therefore, 151,743 and his plurality over Folger, 193,854. The significance of these figures may be discovered by com paring them with the returns of 18S0 The total vote for President that year in New York was 1,103,915 whereas the total vote for Governor in 1883 wa 918; 894, a falling off of 1S5.021. Cleveland received only 807 more votes Han cock but the vote cast for Folger was 213.0S0 short of that cast for Garfield. This statement shows clearly enough who killed Cock Robin' The validation of the black ballots by the Connecticut Legislature has resulted in taking the case out of court, and the 7000 Democratic votes, jeopardized in New Haven by an unnecessary violation of the law, will be permitted to have the effect which the voters intended.

The general rule in such cases is that, unless the people have expressly decided otherwise by a constitutional provision or a legislative enactment, a vote shall not be declared void for fail are to comply with a merely directory law. The object of all popular elections is to ascertain the choice of the people, and when that has been doneit is, to say the least, highly impolitic to reverse the conclusion by insisting upon the letter of the law. No party can afford to retain power upon any other than a majority claim. The Democrats in the House of Repre sentatives did a wise thing in forwarding the passage of the Senate civil service reform bill without prolonged dis cussion, and without attempting to amend it. Thirty minutes only were allowed for debate, and the Democrats, led for the nonce by Mr.

Cox. of New York were unanimous for an. immediate vote. A contrary course would not likely have achieved any desirable change in the bill, and would moreover have' been misrepre sented and misconstrued. As it happened, the failure of the Republicans to make capital out of their involuntary reform has been offset by a great saving in the direction of oratory.

The congressional vacancy created by the death of Gen. Herron has been the occasion of a spirited contest in the district concerned. The nominating convention is now in session but at last accounts had not completed its organization. Candidates are as plenty as blackberries in summer time, but the name of the' coming man is as yet only guess work. It is only certain that the can vass of the Administration candidate, Mr.

Leon Jastremski, has not proved great success, that gentleman having withdrawn from the field thus early in the action. A medical purveyor of the United States army at St. Louis says that the accumulation of worthless medicines disposed of from time to time by the Government is bought by dealers ana re sold to the trade. THE SUNDAY PICAYUNE. The Picayune for to morrow morning will be a mammoth sixteen page paper, filled with the most important news and best reading matter.

It will contain all the news of the day, home and foreign, gathered by reporters nd correspondents or received by wire. It will have in it "Louisiana Aborigines," an, interesting Indian sketch, by a popular writer, the "Society Bee," "Catharine Cole's" contribution, "Green Room Gossip," "Household Hints," spicy letters from New York and Paris, the usual scientific, sporting, fashion, dramatic and musical notes, with timely editorials, choice poems and stories and a well selected miscellany, making the Sunday Picayune, which speaks lor itself, the laEgest, most interesting and best paper published in the South. Elsewhere will be found an interview with Gen. Randall Gibson, in which he discusses the obstacles in the way of further benefactions on the part of Mr. Tulane.

It is the desire of that philanthropic gentleman to make further large additions to the already splendid bequest he has bestowed upon New Orleans for educational purposes, but insists that it shall be free from taxation. It is to be regretted that this obstacle is interposed to prevent an immediate execution of Mr. Tulane's purposes, and we hope a speedy determination of the test case will be had. Gen. Gibson also speaks hopefully ot the prospects of the river appropriation and the sugar duties Robert Collyer on Sunday Larr.

The Rev. Robert Collyer made a vigorous attack on the Sunday laws last evening in the Church of the Messiah, Park Avenue and Thirty Fourth street. A largo audience was present, and Mr. Collyer addressed it from a pulpit tastily trimmed with Christmas greens. He founded his remarks on no particular text, but read as the regular Gospel lesson that portion of the Soripture containing the declaration, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." It was natural, he said, that we should feel a deep interest in the endeavor that was being made to call up the ghost of the old Puritan Sabbath, ana to insist on our paying it proper deference, on pains of bond and iuiprisoninent.

A very small body of men, with very big convictions of how Sunday should be spent, had made up their miuds to compel us to fall into line with their convictions. If we did not have their blessing we 6hould be under their bau. They found the law on their side, aud they set it up in place of the Bible. The old refrain, Hark from the tombs a doleful sound," had suddenly taken on a new and startling significance, Mr. Collyer said.

The poor old apple woman on the street corner had heard it and trembled. She had been confronted by the ghost of the Puritan Sabbath, and it bad threatened to devour her ana ner rauio. ine poor little newsboys had heard it and had shaken in their shoes, if they had shoes. The bravest little fellows on Manhattan Island were the newsboys. They could give most of us points in endurance.

But there vfaa no hope for them on that Sunday when the ghost made its appearance. The watch dogs of Moses wore after them, and they had the alternative of being led off by the ears or of being "stuck" with their palters. Mr. Collyer said he wouldn't like to report all that the newsboys said that day, but he was not sure that the Recording Angel had not blotted it all out with the tears shed by the little ones. One pathetic little cripple on Union Square was warned by a friendly policeman that the Sabbatarian scouts were out, and that he had better hide himself in his den.

There were thousands of poor creatures wanting food for themselves and their children, but they found that the ghost had his eye upon them and meant business. They meant business, too, but they couldn't doit. It was an old saying that the inch kept the feast of the church and left the lasts to the poor. It was so with us now. Mr.

Collyer spoke of the giant of bigotry, and remarked that we had not counted on the strength of this giant to bind us with cords while we slept. The law courts, he continued, had given us some very choice bits of gospel these last few weeks, and he wished to thank the magistrates from his pulpit for their declination to enforce the strict letter of the law. The cruelty and injustice of the law came home to our hearts. There came a time in France, when there was one law for the rich and another for the poor. We said there was no danger of such a thing in tiiis free country.

We spoke without the book. We had now a law that was grossly unfair toward the poor. We prided ourselves that we had shut up the grog'geries. That was a good thing, but the poor fellows who went to the grogget ies, to their own hurt, knew that the rich could get from their own cellars enough liquor to swim in if they wanted to. They knew that the rich could have it sent to them to their rooms in hotels, and they knew that the rich could have it on the public tables where they ate.

It was simply a question of twenty live cents or five cents for a drink. A man had said to Mr. Collyer that he could not pay his rent and snpport his family without his Sunday work. No matter. That man must go down.

Mr. Collyer's newsboy had whispered to him, "They'll be after us to niorrow, but you shall have your paper," and Mr.X'oUyer got it and read it. lie knew some of the editors and stockholders of newspapers, and liked them, but he thought they should have first been hauled np for having made the first sales of their papers on Sunday. These Sabbatarians should hit one of their size. They should not hit small boys.

But ghosts were always timid and always at tacked women and children. We would be justified in scorning these laws, Mr. Collyer continued, as men who would not recognize bigotry and narrow ness, on the ground that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for tho Sabbath." He designated the supporters of the Sunday law as a lot of inquisitors who would compel us to come up to their rules, and quoted from Paul's writings to show that Paul was not in sympathy with them. The law of Moses was for those who were inclined to beep it. Mr.

Collyer then spoke of the different days which had been Bet apart by different people as Sundays, and quoted rrom numerous writers or the time of the Reformation to show that the Sabbath was not holy because it was the Sabbath. Martin Luther himself wrote that ifthe day was made holy for the day's sake, then he counseled his lollowers to ride, and dance, and make merry on that day. Contrast these with this month." said alt. coiiver. it was not hard, he continued, to find the tap ruot of the Sundsy law.

It lay in the narow, DJtlb Ji HA I UU j'l Li I CIA on its last legs thank God!" It was the spirit which made the parents of an ac quaintance of Mr. Collyer allow him no diversion on Bunaay out to walk in a cravevard and read tho epitaphs. It was the spirit which aad caused such a reaction in Calvin's own oity that, with the possible exception of Paris, no city had such license ou the Sabbath as Geneva. It was the spirit which we Lad to fight so hard in Puritan times. It was the sph it which good old Norman McLeod fought so persistently.

It wd8 the spirit which ordained in 1025 that no dinner should be served in a tavern on Sunday, I could fill a dozen lectures with illustrations of this spirit," said Mr. Collyer. "It is this old Intolerance we have to meet now, and I sa3 once for all, that so long as I occupy this free pulpit will fight it with all my might." The Sunday law. he added, fined the poor and kicked the man who was down. There was no authority in the Scrip tures for such a law.

It was our habit to point with prtdo to our freedom, but when we pointed to London we learned how far behind we were. New. York could not be contrasted with London for a moment. We could only be contrasted with Edinburg. Mr.

Collyer pleaded for one day of rest in seven. The law 6hould give every man the right to such a day of rest, and leave the question of wages to be settled between the employers and the employed. We wanted for our worship simply quiet ness. He pleaded for recreation. He would open all the libraries and museums on the Sabbath.

He would say to the boys, If you want to take a swim in tho river on Sunday, here are the free baths. If you want to play ball or go to Sunday scnooi. ao so." He would open the music halls on Hun day. Clean music never hurt anybody and there was no nnclean music It was only when wedded to nnclean words that music did barm. He would have lectures on Sunday, that the masses might learn from science.

Sunday itself, Mr. Collyer declared, was no better than Saturday or Monday. He had no right te interfere with others who did not observe it as he did. so long as they did not interfere with him. He had no more right to prevent one from going to the theatre on the Sabbath than the theatre goer bad to prevent him from going to church.

We must not allow ourselves to be put in such bondage as he Sunday law. That law must be repealed and a law enacted that we could cheerfully obey. If was a menace to the commonwealth to have on the statute book a law which a man felt more like a man for breaking, and which made a magistrate feel more a man when he winked at its infractions. Let the vast majorities in our cities who were used to a wider interpretation of the Sabbath than we had been accustomed to, once get their blood up, is they were very likely to, and we would see finally laws passed permitting such license on Sunday as we would view with evergrowing regret and sorrow.
