MoRRIsrowN, N. j., July 24-Ex-
Congressman John Hill died at his
home in Bottom this morning. of
Bright's disease, aged Ga years.
Elk Congressman John Hill, the
father OF cheap postage, was born in
Catskill, N. Y, June 10, 1891. His
father, for several years, was treasurer
of Catskill County. His education was
gained In private school. After COM
pleting his education he joined in vari-
GUS mercantile pursuits. He removed
to New Jersey about 1845, settling at
BOOntOn, where he became connected
with the iron works and was interested
in other lines of business He sat In
the State Assembly in the years 1861,
1862 and 1866. During the latter term
he served ~ Speaker Of the House.
During the war Of the rebellion Mr..
Hill was very active in raising troops
for the North. He was first elected o
representative from New Jersey to the
Fortieth Congress on the Republican
ticket. He was reelected to the Forty
first and Forty-second Congresses. His
last term In Congress was from 1881 to
1888. II was during this term that he
succeeded In having passed the two
cent postage clause In the Post office
Appropriation bill. This measure, as
also the abolishment Of the frankinc
privilege and the introduction of one
cent POSTAL cards, have been due almost
solely to Mr.. Hill. His strenuous efforts
toward posta reform of all kinds have
justly earned for him the title of the
father of cheap postage In America.

decision In q case on which the Demo-
Gratis had relied for no little party CAPT.
tai in this campaign. AT the last SEES.
sion OF the Legislature the Democracy
made an attempt practically to prohi.
bit Republican office holders from TAX
ing an active part in politics. They
passed law forbidding any Judge,
superintendent of schools or other officers
connected with the schools from taking
an active part in politics.
For a violation of this law the Offend
er, upon conviction, was to lose his off,
CO and pay heavy fue. The best
lawyers in the State pronounced the
provisions Of the act plainly unconsti.
tut iOnal. In order TO test the validity
of the law Mr.. Carter Loutham, a Re-
publican school superintendent, of Lou
don County, and one of the Presidential
electoral candidates In this State viola
ted its provisions. He was convicted
and appealed to the court of last resort,
