A New School Superintendent.
E. M. Heath, Esq, of Delaware town
ship, was appointed Superintendent of
Public Schools for Hnnterdon county, by
the State Board of Education, on Thurs
day last. Mr.. Heath is native of this
county, and has for nearly quarter of a
century been teacher in the public
schools of his township. He received his
early education in the common schools of
this county, finishing his studies at the
Madison University, Hamilton, N. Y.
He is entirely qualified for successful
and intelligent discharge of the duties of
bis new position, and we are satisfied that
his gentlemanly and unostentations de-
pertinent will make him popular with
the teachers throughout the domain over
which he has authority. His many friends
are glad of his good fortune, and feel as
sured that he will acquit himself credit
ably.
Mr.. o. H. Hoffman, the retiring Super
intendent, made one of the very best
officers the county has ever had. He at
tended strictly to his work, in which he
took great interest, and being thorough
scholar knew how to perform the arduous
duties of the office. That he gave univer-
sal satisfaction goes without saying. He
will be greatly missed in the schools Of
the country by both teachers and scholars.

The editorial in the issue of June 90,
docs injustice TO firemen generally, while
the principal denounced may have some
claim to the attention of tax. payers. I
doubt if there have any persons Joined
either Of the companies in this city for
the purpose Of exemption from tax, and |
presume that it will hold good of other
departments. The exemption is on $500
worth of property and 81 poll tax and
this will amount to about $3.50. Very
few of the force are called upon by reason
of accumulation Of property to pay any
tax but that of poll and those of the
other class who have property find that it
costs a great deal more to keep up their
membership than it would to pay the
amount of tax. Fire companies, like
military companies, are organized for the
public good, and the firemen claimed the
same exemption that was accorded them.
There are incidental expenses in connec-
ton with hre companies, which if correct
accounts were kept of them, would swell
up to large amounts in the course of a
year. There has always been q certain
amount Of excitement in the life of fire.
man, the pride of being first at fire or
of doing the best execution in snbduing
the fiery element. This is what fire
laddie lives on and for which he does nu-
merous things to keep up the spirit of the
organization to which he belongs. But
in city like ours, where there has been
but one fire in fifteen months, there has
been very little excitement to feed an
average hungry fireman, and other means
must be adopted to keep up the interest.
Other means requires the expenditure of
money, and while the citizens contribute
generously when called upon, and the city
officials do what is really necessary and
proper, still the pocket book of the indi-
vidual fireman is resorted to very often to
meet certain expenses that there is no &C
count of. If the firemen received COM
pensation for their services, there might |
be some reason why the exemption should |
not be made, but as it is generally volun-
tary work, it is but small pay when he |
receives the amount donated by the State,
which in almost all cases is not more than
one dollar each man per year.

"A meeting to organize Democratic
Club was held on Monday evening last.
We have not heard that any Republican
sneaked in to listen to the proceedings;
but we learn that all the candidates for
Assembly were present and consequently
there was large and enthusiastic turn
out. We are informed that an address
was delivered by gentleman who
thought that Thurman and Bandanna was
a very strong ticket if Cleveland was kept
very much in the back ground. Also,
that it was concluded that it did not make
any difference if the Democratic platform
did mean free trade, the club would be
in favor of protection, ''if anthracite coal
was placed on the FREQ list" The other
proceedings have been kept so profoundly
secret that at this writing we are uQable
to further report.

THE CAUSES OF DEPRESSION.


The Presidents Message and the Mills
Bill Bitter Fruits For American Industry.
Philadelphia, June 30.-The Bulletin
of the American Iron and Steel Associa-

business outlook, says: s'The close of

ness in this country in much more de-
pressed condition than ct the beginning
Of the year. The Presidents message
of last December and the Mills bill are
bearing bitter fruits for American indus
try. A lack of confidence in the future
OF tariff legislation and in the tariff
policy of the Administration is the lead
ing cause of the business depression
which everywhere prevails. Capitalists
and business men hesitate to invest in
new enterprises or to extend their pre-
sent operations under an impending
threat of free trade. But for the Presi-
dents message and the Mills bill, we
would have had fairly active and pros

importations Of manufactured products
under our present badly arranged tariff,
especially of iron and steel and textile
fabrics, also contribute to the prevailing
reaction in business.

general business cannot be looked for
SO long as the free-trade threats of the
