publican papers of the State. He will no
doubt play the martyr to perfection and
then make himself solid at the next Legis-
lature-by cutting down the price for
printing the laws and advertising. If he
desires to pose in the role of a reformer,
pray why don't he move to cut down the
exorbitant fees of the lawyers? But we
reckon he is too astute to strike his own
pocketbook-th year or any other year.

1t is said that Governor Ludlow has
Congressional aspirations. just where he
would draw his strength from, with Miles
Ross in the field, it would be hard to tell.
Miles owns the machinery in Middlesex,
and the "better element of Monmouth is
not enthusiastic for the Governor since he
bounced Major Yard at the dictation of
George w. Patterson. Perhaps the deliv-
cry of the vote of Monmouth was the con-
sideration offered by George. But Miles
knows how to handle Georges following,
and can distance Ludlow In the field. The
feeling between Ross and Ludlow is not
the best if rumor be true. There is pos
sibility of the Republicans profiting by
this family fight, but little probability If
Miles means business, he will win. Lud-
low strength Is on the wane.
Secretary of State Kelsey is evidently as
big a gun with the railroads as he is in
New Jersey politics. The evening train on
the Morris road ran back to Washington on
Saturday evening after it had got several
miles past that place, because word was
received that he wanted to come through to
Phillipsburg to catch the Belvidere Della
ware train and the Belvidere Delaware
train waited at the Junction some twenty
minutes for him. The Secretary didn't
wait for the Morris train to stop, but hop
ped brskly out on the platform and then
went ON hop, skip, and a jump along
side of Conductor Eichman, who took tre-
mendous strides in the direction of his inn
patiently waiting train = EdstoR Express.
The pulpit of the Roman Catholic Ca
tbedral of Boston was occupied on a re-
cent Sunday by the Vicar General of An.
tioch, Syria the Rev. Father Memarbas-
chi, who gave very interesting account
ofthe Church of Rome in the East, which
differs in several particulars from the
Church elsewhere. The mass is celebrated
in the native tongue, which 1t is claimed
was spoken by our Lord and His Disci-
pies The priests are also allowed to mar
ry. though not after taking orders, nor is
a priest who is married ever allowed to
become bishop. The See of Antioch, il
is said. was the See over which Peter was
bishop for seven years before he went to
Rome.

At a caucus Of the Republican members
of the House held on Tuesday evening of
last week, it was decided to support Mr..
Kelley's bill for the reduction of internal
revenue taxation, with the clauses relating

of the freight handlers at the piers Of
New York have struck this week. and the
movement of Western freights are greatly
hindered. There is a great blockade of
freight at Chicago on this account.
Fred Archer, the celebrated English
jockey, is described as tall, emaciated,
cadaverous man with projecting lips, a
slight stoop, decidedly round shoulders,
and long misshapen legs. To keep his
weight down to lit pounds he often break
fasts on two seidlitz powders, eschews meat
and vegetables and subsists almost entire
ly upon bread and unsweetened tea. He is
worth $3.50, 900.
