ing. They claim that it is partisan leg
islation, and that the people of the
State will rebuke such action at the
polls next November. Democratic edi-
tors who make such statements know
that they are false. Gov. Albeit has
made all of his appointments in the
interest of Leon Albeit and the Dem
ocratic party He has made the State
Board of Education almost entirely
Democratic, ousting Republicans no
matter how competent, in order that
room might be made for his party
friends. An eminent Ex-Governor of
this State, a Democrat by the way,
made remark recently that Governor
Albeit had abused the power with
which he had been intrusted, and that
his conduct in making the State Boards
partisan was shameful.
The Republicans are not carrying

Trustees of the Morris Plains Asylum,

into politics. The bills which they
submit are for the purpose of taking
these Boards out of politics, and max
ing them non-partisan, by providing
that both political parties shall have
equal representation in the manage
ment of these important State institu-
tions. The only act yet proposed,
which may be said to SAVIOR in the least
of politics, is the bill to place the cleo
ton of Supervisor of the State Prison
in the two Houses. This is righteous
measure, because the Prison as now
managed is a Democratic machine.
and it is high time that a change was
made.
During debate in the Senate a few
days since, upon the bill to grant to
soldiers widows the same tax exemp-
ton as that now enjoyed by soldiers
of the late war and members of the
National Guard, Senator Griggs, of
Passaic county, vigorously objected.
He argued that tax exemption was be-
ing carried to extremes, and that there
was too much sentiment connected
with the soldiers; and further, that he
did not believe that the soldiers wanted
such exemption. Senator Herring.
Gardner and Nichols, defended the
bill, and refuted the remarks made by
the Senator from Passaic. Mr.. Mich
OILS said that in his opinion, the men
who took their lives in their hands
and did battle for the country, and
also their widows, should be exempt
from taxation. A grateful country
could not do too much for the brave
men who saved the country in time of
war.
There is so much business before the
Legislature that it now seems impossi-

will not be later than March 27th.

entitled ''The Republican Party

DIFFERENT KINDS OF RACES.

Among the features to be eXhipl,eu
this year by the Barnum ana LONDON
Shows will be the four-horse Roman
chariot racing, doubleteam Roman
standing racing, exciting male ana te-
male Jockey racing, huge elephant nlr-
die racing, camel racing, with real NJ
bians as riders, dromedary racing, 1laU
races, foot races, running races, wheei-
barrow races, comical sack races, glra1e
races, monkey jockey races, lnan-norse
races, and the most laughaDle ana nu-.
morouS of all are those known as the
obstacle races. In these latter a num-
Der of persons will participate, and the
fun will consist in the efforts OF the
contestants to surmount the number
less impediments and obstacles which
have been placed at intervals on the
the racing track. These obstacles VIII
be cunningly contrived boxes with COW
ers, through which the runner will
have to pass first into one head fore
most and out of the next feet tlrst,
then to walk Il pole laid horizontally,
then through swinging barrels, which
turn and twist and frequently lay the
runner on the flat of his back in the
wrong direction, then over gates, hur-
dies, creased poles, then through the
meshes of a large, three sided, puzzling
trap net, which is a very ludicrous per-
formance, as the runners are flounder-
ing around in this net like so many
flies caught in a SPIDERS web. At
ter this the runners pass over the
three rings and other impediments un-
til the final goal is reached in a state
of exhaustion by the racers. To slim
ulate the contestants, Mr.. Barnum has
arranged a series of cash prizes: All
these new performances are added to
the regular exhibition, which takes
place in three rings and upon a stage,
and which is kept complete and intact,
the entire 100 acts being given; and the
truth is that never in the history of the
circus has there been so great and
grand an amusement enterprise as the
one now presented by the United Bar
mum and London Nine Shows, and
which comes here on Monday, May
18th, with the great free street parade
in the morning at o'clock.

An examination of the books of the
Secretary Of the Treasury and count
of the monies in the Treasury vaults
was made last week The books and
monies were examined and counted by
Democratic experts, and the result is
one of the grandest endorsements the
Republican party has ever received
After twenty-four years of power in the
National Government through all the
various administrations in times of war
and times of peace, only two cents
were found to be missing No rascal
ity, no dishonesty, no incapacity, no
robbery! Where now are all the Dem
ocratic campaign cries of many years,
and their charges concerning the cor
ruption Of the Republican party?

A special election was held in the
34th Legislative district of Illinois a
few days since, to elect successor to
Representative Shaw, deceased. The
district is Democratic by some two
thousand majority, and the Demo-
Gratis supposed they had q walk over.
But, when the election came off, the
Republican candidate, Weaver, over
come the heavy margin and carried
the district by nearly three hundred
majority. The result is that the Re
publicans will now have a majority of
the Legislature on joint ballot, and that
General John A. Logan will be re
elected United States Senator. This
unexpected victory has cheered the
Republicans of Illinois, and if General
Logan is returned to the seat which
he has so highly honored, Republicans
ali over the Union will rejoice with ex-
ceeding great joy.

The Ecening Ne'cS proprietors. if
they are at all we'll versed in recent
politics, will certainly remember that
Judge Folger was not defeated for the
Governorship of New York in 1882 be-
cause Of his lack of sympathy with
civil service reform" His defeat was
compassed because of q belief among
the Republicans of that State that he
had been nominated by fraudulent
proxy in the hands of one French, and
that he was for the time being the rep
resentatiye Of the men who indirectly
brought about the death of President
Garfield. The carrying of New York
for Mr.. Cleveland last Fall was due
principally to the foolish conduct of
the st. John Republicans, and the
jealousy of such cattle as the ''dudes
and pimps" whom we referred to last
week, who out of sheer jealousy op-
posed the election of the greatest and
ablest statesman of the nation. These
men gratified theirspite, and succeeded
in defeating Mr. Blaine. AS to the
doctrine that ''to the victors belong
the spoils" we still insist that it is the
true one. We do not mean by this
that every man who holds a clerical
situation in the great departments of
the Government should be ousted at
each change of Administration simply
because he may be a Republican or
Democrat, but we do mean that the
party which carries the election and
enters upon the control of the Gov
ernment should fill the principal ap-
pointments in its gift with men of it's
own political way of thinking. An
drew Jackson's doctrine was a good
one! 1t has stood the test of time, and
will continue to stand long after the
New York dudes and pimps" have
passed out of the memory of man.

over the door of which appeared a
placard bearing the words:-''This is
the house where the Hon. Thomas NJ.

evidently painted by Thomas himself,
for the purpose of impressing the visit
ing clubs with the greatness" which
had emanated from such humble
beginning. Senator w. B. Miller is of
the opinion, however, that it would
have been better for him had Thomas
never been born. That 'little house"

Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
has vetoed a bill passed by the Legis-
lature, which allows $50 for the pay
ment of the funeral expenses and a
grave stone for all pauper or INDECENT
soldiers of the late war who may die
in that State. This was a righteous
measure, and similar in its provisions
to a law of both New York and New
Jersey. Mr.. Pattison's rebel sympa-
thies got the best of him, however,
and he vetoed the bill. The people of
Pennsylvania will veto Mr. Pattison
by a large majority when they get an

DR.. Rookie, an English physician at
the islands. In 1866 she was made the
wife of King Kamehameha ~, WHO
died in 1868. When King Lunalilo
died in 1878, his successor not having
been proclaimed, Kalakaua and Queen
Emma both claimed the throne, and
the present Kings claim was con-
firmed at a session of the Legislature
called to determine the question, as

Emma. Her partisans endeavored to
stir up a revolution, but, by the aid of
British and American war vessels then
at Honolulu, the insurgents were dis
persed and the Dowager returned to
