Hon. NJ. Fl. Dunnell addressed the
people at the Court House on Satur-
day night last. The house was we'll
filled with an audience of both sexes.
Commissioner Fred Bloom presided.
Mr.. Dunnell's speech was devoted
mainly to review Of the Republican
and Democratic platforms, and was
dignified and able, a sensible talk to
the people rather than a stump speech.
AS we said heretofore, Mr.. Dunnell
will have respectful hearing from
all parties wherever he goes, and he
had it here. He claims to be the reg
ular nominee, and we see no reason to
blame him for presenting his case to
the people and leaving them to decide
the matter. This was our position
from the first as our readers know.

The boys have their snappers out a.
gain and are throwing bullets and small
missiles through windows. We have
not heard of any eyes being put out yet.
In cities there are ordinances against
the use Of these snappers and boys who
use them are jugged. If we have no
ordinance against this there should be
one passed at the next meeting.

The preparations for Illuminating Broad
way, New York, from Fourteenth TO Thir-
ty.iourth street with electric lights are be-
ing rapidly pushed forward, and the indt'
cations now are that the new lights will be
substituted for gas on or before Christmas
Eve. The Brush Electrict Light Company
is to do the lighting, The experiment is
to cost the city nothing, and the system is
to be done away with al any time II it
proves unsatisfactory. The district select
cd for experimental illumination includes
thirteen hotels, five club.houses, and a
large number Of business houses. Prop
erty holders have made no objections to
the erection OF electric lamps, and 1t is
not thought that they will be displeased
with the lights as substitutes for gas.
