she was a novice at the game. A young

General Ben Harrison, Of Indiana, did not
think five minutes sufficient time for debate to
settle the question of a contested seat, what
ever might have been the custom of former
conventions. d.
Mr.. Henderson said that While these argu-
ments in themselves we're all right and
proper enough his object in offering the
motion was simply to bring the question before
the convention, and if the convention should
determine that five minutes for debate for the
contested seats was not enough, it could be ex-
tended to twenty minutes, or for that matter,
to an hour.
Mr.. Sharpe, who Represented the minority
Of the committee in question, said he had the
report of the ommitte in his pocket, ready to
be read whenever the convention would proceed
to consider it according to the understanding of
the committee. His report, he said, was signed
by the representatives of nine States, without
which" he added, the. nominee of this con-
vention cannot be elected. Mr.. Sharp, refer
ring to the committee, said: s"They knew very
well that when the composition of the conven-
ton was settled it would be necessary to proceed
to the transaction of its business with as much
alacrity as might be possible, and considering
the ~stringency of the rule which limits debate
on all questions to five minutes, they agreed
among themselves that they would postpone
the enforcement of the that rule until after this
convention found out of whom we were com
posed. Icharge that upon every member of

The new Board evidently finds cause for
congratulation in the fact that the old
Board left its business so thoroughly COM
pleted and everything in good running Or

ished business upon its successors.
The Board is composed principally
of practical farmers. among whom are some
evidently intent upon immortal ;zing them
selves by course OF quasi reform and
economy, inaugurated by the funny old

rely upon being well watched by picket

posted around the suburbs, with jealous
eye to the best interests of the county
and especially to the county seat.
Director Jackson is eminently suited to
the position, and already exhibits excel
lent executive ability and presides with the
grace and dignity of Chesterfield Ex-
Director Howell's mantle could not have
fallen upon better fitted shoulders.

DECORATION Day Services.


The permanent Memorial Day Associa-
ton Of Morristown met in Mayor Ayers
Office, Tuesday evening, and made arrange
ments for the proper observance of the
the day, on Monday, May 31st. The graves
viii be decorated in the morning by the
members of Winfield Scott Post No. "a G..

invited to assemble at the Soldiers Monu-
ment, in the Park Here the procession
will form and with the band march to the
Lyceum. The orator selected for the day
is Major Vim. H. Lambert, of Philadelphia.
Major Lambert will be remembered by old
soldiers as the gallant Adj't of the 9th N.
r. Capt. and Bvt. Major Of the s3rd. and
as Inspector General Of Geary's staff dur
ing the memorable Atlanta campaign and
the famous march to the sea with Sher-
man. He is no less ready speaker than
he was fighter, and should be welcomed
as cordially by the loyal citizens of Morris
town, for whom as a New Jersey soldier he
fought, as he will be by every old com
rade, whose dangers and privations he
shared and with whom he participated in
the final glory of the victory at Joe John
sons surrender in North Carolina. The
full programme will be ready for publica-
ton next week.

As soon as silver comes into general cir
culation, as it has at the present time, we
always see the clipped and punched silver
pieces becoming abundant. Although it
is a crime to clip the coin, there are
greedy scamps enough who viii do it. The
only way to check the fraud is to refuse to
take the mutilated silver pieces. The
post Office and the banks refuse to receive
the punched dimes, quarters and halves,
but most Of the retailers continue to take
them, and suffer loss by selling at a dis
count. The right way to stop the fraud is
for everybody to decline to take any de-
faced piece. 1t was the action of the Post
Office Department. that drove the old and
worn out Spanish and Mexican coins out
of circulation years ago, and a similar
course now would very soon spoil the game
of the sharpers who are stealing the PEG
pies gold and silver.

Yours, good night,
OLD PARsIPPANY.

When a man looks back into the dim
vista of by-gone years, about the only
things he can remember are his mothers
slipper. his first pair of boots, the old
schoolmaster, and the little rosy-cheeked
school girl who used to make his heart iut-
ter whenever she asked him for bite of
his chewing gum. Life was worth living
for in those days, even though there wasn't
much money in it.-Hackensack Republican.
