Death of John Kelly.


New York, June John Kelly died
at 800 Tuesday afternoon. He had been
ill for seven months. During the last
few weeks he seemed to feel compare
lively well, but on Sunday at ?. NJ. he
was taken with an attack of fanting,
and became weaker afterward. On Mon
day he was worse, but Tuesday morning
an improvement was apparent. At noon
however, he began TO sink and the APP
proach of the end was realized. His
death was painless, and he was conscious
to the last Only Mrs. Kelly and two
children were present when the patient
passed away.

JOHN KELLY, who, perhaps, is as
widely known as any man in this
country, is dead. There will be
many who regret to hear of this
death, while many will not be sad.

We cannot just now understand
why there should be any objection
whatever to a constitutional change.
The matter should have been at
tended to long ago. Honest Demo-
Gratis and Republicans deserve a
change in the constitution. As the
matter now is, the Governor is in
vested with a power that belongs to
the people. The offices that have
been filled with appointments made
by the Governor should be left to
the people to fill. The time has
come when a free people demand
this right, and the time is coming
when they shall be granted this
power.

JoHN KELLY, the great New York
politician, is dead. Perhaps no man
ever received or was accused of so
much trickery. The defeat of every
Presidential candidate was laid at
his door. Thousands, who only
knew of such man by reading his
name in the newspapers, wished he
had shuffled off this mortal coil
years ago. Now that he has passed
away, glowing tributes to his many
virtues find their way into the press
of the whole country. What COM
fort the dead would experience
were they allowed to awaken from
their never-ending sleep and catch
the generous words said about them.
We would advise and urge upon
those who have the matter of secur-
ing electric lights for this town, to
make all possible speed. The heat
ed term is almost on us, and if the
project is not consummated when
the mercury reaches high up in the
thermometer for breath, there is a
danger that there will steal Ger the
projectors a tired feeling, which will
remain with them until "after har-
vest" lift is to be done, let it be
done quickly,-water the stock.
The Record, Philadelphia, is caus-
ing a shaking up among the protec-
tionists throughout the country. 1t
is very plainly seen that this
country is too wei protected in
some things, and not well enough in
others.

THE killing of another railroad
man at the West Yard, at Whining
ton, by being caught while coupling
cars, and crushed into shapless
mass, clearly shows the folly of
coupling freight cars, as is done at
the present time, by being com
PEELED to remain between the cars
while they are brought together
There is but one way of averting
such horrible deaths as related by
the railroad companies having plac-
ed on their freight cars patent or
automatic cOuplers. 1t is true that
all the cars would have to be made
to a particular style, so that the pa
tent coupler could be attached; yet,
recent inventors have demonstrated
that an automatic coupler could be
attached to any style of car. With
all these devices to enable men in
making up freight trains to keep
out of danger, they remain unre-
cognized by the officers of the rail
roads, and the slaughter of their
employees still continues. Congress
should look into the matter; every
State Legislature ought to pass a
law, compelling the use of the pa
tent coupler on every freight car
that passes through that State. So
long as the officials have no such
dangerous work to perform, so long
will they close their eyes to the dan
gers attending their workmen.

THE COUNTY SEAT AND VICINITY.


Very interesting temperance addresses
are made every Sunday afternoon, in the
Reform Club Room. These addresses
are non political and are of the sensible
order.
Quite some building is being done in
various parts of the town.
The Democrat Aduertiser, weekly show
ers heavenly blessings upon the head of
Pidcock; also Carpenter of the Clinton
Democrat.
Ringoes contains several very effective
political county politicians. Look out
for the Fall campaign.
Our young friend, P. s. Moore, of this
vicinity, has honestly achieved quite a no.
toriety as scribber. He has several fine
offers on papers of good standing. Sut.
is bound to succeed.
Rev. DIR. Studdiford will occupy the
pulpit of the Presbyterian Church, dur
ing this month.
On August 9Th, there will be q Prohi-
bition political meeting held in the Court
House. 1t is reported that Pennington
is going to be raised from the ground at
that time.
1t is very evident that Grover Cleve-
lands Jeffersonism does not exactly
please Uncle Robert of the Hunterdon
Democrat.
Great progress is being made with the
work on the new Methodist Church.
Although along in years, yet this is our
first attempt of anything of this kind.

A Terrible Triple.

The British army has not gathered many
laurels in Burnah and it Is not likely to do
much until the Prohibitionists capture the
county. The trouble is not so much with
the Burmese as with their liquor. They
distil beverage called sham-sho" from
rice and lime. 1t is stronger than dynamite
and more fiery than fire itself. A cores
pondent claims that it will dissolve rife
ball in thirty minutes. It burns out the in
teriors of those who drink it, and plays
fearful havoc. Against this terrible foe
valor and skill can do nothing. The SOL
diers drink, go mad and die. Why the
Burmese are not similarly affected is not
stated. It may be that the civilized stomach
is weak and cannot stand the beverages OF
the barbarians. But il is lamentable fact
that in the British army and navy intemper-
ance has always been allowed to run riot.
If the soldiers in Burmah had been properly
disciplined in this respect they would not
now be poisoning themselves with sham.
sho." As it is, they are in fair way to be
exterminated by the convivial hospitality Of
their enemies.

We e indebted to o. Fl. Hoffman,
ESQ., County Superintendent of this
county, for copy of the Annual Report
of the State Board of Education. The
County superintendent report to the
Board Contained in this report, shows
that we have an officer who does some
thing more than draw his saIary-he
thinks earnestly and labors efficiently to
improve our schools and school system.
His report states that the average daily
attendance at school in this county is less
than half of the enrolment. This, GER
tainly, is not creditable showing and
should be remedied.

The Salvation Army have surrended
their lease of Lyceum Hall, in this city,
and the officer in charge has left town.
They have been unable to meet their ex-
penses for some time, and Gen. Moore
finally ordered the closing of the "bar-
racks.n The "army" opened in this town
three years ago last winter and they have
held on much longer than any one antici-
pated. In Trenton they disbanded in a
little over year after opening. The
"army," undoubtedly has done some
good here, but their methods of work are
too sensational to be permanent.
