stituted 81 per cent. Of the total dis

Nothing marks a man in public Of
fee rs a statesmen more than his doing
what he conscienciously thinks is right
ever il i; defeats him for reelection.
President Cleveland, in sp'aking recent
~ of his tariff reform recommendations
of last year said: 81 would not have
had them different last year if l had
known that 1t would have reelected
me. l would not change them because
of fear that they would defeat me-"
These sentiments are also manifest
in his last m ssage to Congress in which
he clearly shows his strong faith in
''tne peoples ciuse" which "shOuld
never be compromised" notwithstand-
ing he suffered defeat in advocating the
reduction of taxation on the necessar-
les of life in the interest of the whole
people, many whom labor under the de-
fusion, that, because the government
gives discriminating favors" to manu-
f~acvurer, they receive an equal share Of
such ii bounty. AS our country grows
older She self evident truths in that
message will become more general
ly believe in and the ''long suffering
tarmers' will soon see that the un-
necessa y and unjust taxation is reduc-
ed to the nee ssery expenditures of the
government economically administered
instead of raising one fourth more mon
ey than is needed, as is now done.

In the death of Joseph r.. Elkinton,
one of the Fish Commissioners, this
State has lost an efficient officer, who
was the most competent to fill that
position because OF his superior ability
over many who are financially inter-
estest'i Iii the fishing business, and be-
cause he took more than Il personal in
terest in that industry.
The fl hing industry in the Lower
Delaware is one Of the most impor-
tant in the State. As legislation af-
fecting it is agitated nearly every win
ter it is all important that the impor-
lance OF this industry should be made
public and that, az least, n member
of the State Fish Commission should be
a person who Is well posted on his sub
ject. The reticents of the fisherman in
making known their private business,
which is AS much a public business
when it calls forth legislation for its
protection, has hindered the magnitude
of this Industry in South Jersey from
being made fully known until Mr.. Ell
kinton was appointed Commissioner.
He being personally interested in the
business, having an observing eye and
being in a position to gain such impor-
tant information, his recent report of
South JERSEYS fishing industry has
greatly advanced the interest of our
fishermen in the public mind. He it
was who was most Instrumental in hav-
ing a meeting of the Fish Commission
ers OF Delaware Pennsylvania and New
Jersey for the object of having a code Of
concurrent laws passed by the Legisla-
lures of each of these States for the
mutual benefit of the fishermen and the
pr ,servation of our food fish supply. 1t
is hoped that his death will not hinder
a contamination of some such efficient
legislation.
What brought the Commission into
d~isfavor under the appointment by the
Governor was his not appointing a
practical man for the office but a friend
ly politician on whom he wished to be-
stow a favor by giving him an official
title with bu. little to do, unless the
wished O do it. Whoever Mr.. Elkin-
toms success may be he should be from
South Jersey and a man who will take
an interest in the fishing industry and
competent to gain such needed infor-
nation concerning the industry and
make 1t plain to the public.

Tho Thomns Conccrt,

Tonight Mr. Theodore Thomas and
his grand orchestra and galaxy OF
solOists give the first OF their
three concerts at the Academy of
Music The maguihcencc of these con
certs the perfection of the programmes
arranged for them by Mr. Thomas, and
the rare accomplishments of the soloisls
have been so much expatiated upon that
scarcely any more thereon can be said.
But as a bit OF interesting reading we
subiOin the following from the pen OF an
eminent critic and traveller:
Il observe that the Chicago Tribune,
in It's criticism of one of Mr.. Thomas
performances in that city, incidentally
said such al orchestra as that of Mr..
Thomas was never heard outside OF
America Everybody AYERS this who has
been able to compare Perhaps my own
hearty endorsement of this sweeping
Judgment will add 10 il slight weight,
though my interest in this class of music,
a singular yagary for tramp-has
led me with eager steps TO The
performance of most of the great Orches-
tras Of the world, and to their rehearsals
too-in which-and in particular those
of Mr. Thomas-l have often been. more
highly entertained than in their public
appearances. His present orchestra Is
withouta a peer on the globe. | have
rarely been more highly entertained than
when al recent concert | saw the great
leader actually stop his beating during
the performance of difficult number
and look at his men rs they progressed
in their perfect work with beaming eyes
and manner which plainly enough be
spoke his own surprise and gralitied ad
miration of their playing They are Sc
thoroughly EN- rapport with their leader
that they are able to go it alone"
