the er residents Of the place neither evince enter

ORANGES are thrown in the way Of outsiders who would
introduce q more progressive state OF AFFAIRS. Such
policy il not only narrow, bat very unwse on the part
Of those who would build up prosperous community
But il seems almost invariably to be parsued in places
where legislative bodies and courts Of law have their
hssdqusrters and where much Of their prosperity ID
dervsble from the expenditures necesarily connected
herewith, either directly or indirectly. Bat for the
strangers attracted TO the spot, Trenton would bs
"Seepy Hollow" for nine months in the year, and q
den of loafen for the remainder.
