Those interested in this matter,
which has been especially called to
the attention of the collector by the
State Auditor, would do well to read
carefully the following sections:
BE it enacted, etc.. That section
$50 of the Revised Code of 1880, he

BILL MARTIN OF TENAS.
) Pincy Woods Statesman Who
Blew out the Gas.


al IN Washington ut the beginning of
the present session. the Hon. VIM. II.
Martin. of Texas. WAS hauled ont of
his room at Willud'> hotel by the
heels. He had gone tn he'd very late
in the night. and not being accustom
eel to mudrru appliances for turning
OF the gas. hc simply blew it out, aud
Wa, nearly Suilucatcd when the Sorv-
ants burst in the door and dragged
him out.
The honorable Bill Martin j.. Il char
actrr. He was elected last summer to
succeed Judge John II. Reagan. in the
House of Representatives Bill has
lived all his life in the pine woods of
Henderson county, Texas. He never
saw gas burner in his ucighhorhood.
Pine knots and tallow dips are good
enough for Bills vicinity. and there IL
not two-story house within fifty
miles of where his rdmshacklc cabin
sits ON stills.
There are ten hig counties in the
Congressional district. When the
Convention met in Palestine last sum
mcr. every one of them had candi-
date. and all the aSp!rautN were inNl-
ted To address the delegates. When
Bill Martin stood up and swung his
arms around. he gathered in the pircy
W0odSmcn at the first word. His man
ucr and gestures were never learned
from books of clocutiuu. His compct-
itorS were all well dressed men. some
of them with better reputation for
craftsmanship.
BIZ had come in on his mule from
Henderson county. He had his pants
in his boots. He wore buttcrnut
shirt. and his hands were big enough
to cover Il wide cXpan>c of territory.
Bill told tn" boys how he had been
brought up To raise cotton. white
pine sticks. chew tobacco and hunt
razor back hogs of the Texas Pcrsua-
sion. He said he was no statesman.
but he wanted the office, and wanted
it bad. and above all things he thought
there ought to be one genuine home
made Texan in Washington.
Then the Convention hoWlcd-hut
they howlcd louder when Bill shouted
out that when he went to Washington
ne would be the same old Henderson
county Eli Martin as before, and
would go in the same clothes that he
then wore. They turned right around.
and after cmptNing the other candi-
dates out of the Convention, they
nominated Bill. and he was elected by
big majority.
Nothing has been heard of him until

1t was not to be expected that Mr..
Blodgett would be elected delegate to
the st. Louis Convention by the Demo
cratic State Convention, Thursday. 1t
was Mr.. Leon Abbett's own particular
and private show, to all intents and pur-
poses. No man was allowed any living
chance there without Mr. Abbetts per-
mission. And Mr.. Albeit never will for.
give Mr.. Blodgett for his allowing him
self to be chosen United States Senator.
Mr.. Albeit knows his own business He
rs perennial candidate for office. II he
believes that he can catch more flies with
vinegar than with molasses, that is his
affair. But it should be borne in mind
that MIR. Blodgett is Democrat, never
theless. His political affiliations are all
with the Democratic party. He is under
obligations TO the Republicans to the ex-
tent of assisting them, as he agreed to do,
should they need his vote in any attempt
TO strike down protective tariff, or in
the organization of the Senate, or to SO
cure the admission of Dakota as a State,
or to defeat partition of Texas into
several States. 1t may be claimed for
him that his vote on the admission of
South Dakota cannot logically be held as
violative of any one of these previously
expressed pledges. His vote was not
needed to pass the admission bill; aud
the question of admission was not pre-
scented as it had been originally framed
But, apart from these relations to the Re-
publican party, Senator B,odgetts party
ties are strictly with the Democrats. In
Senatorial contest, he would be expect
ed to promote the chances of Democrat.
In the distribution of patronage, he would
naturally favor only Democrats. Assis-
lance of this sort, Mr. Albeit virtually
says, he does not want and will not ac-
cept,

About four years ago some two thou
sand persons were employed In manufac-
turing pearl buttons 10 Newark. The
duty on the foreign pearl button was re-
duced, aud the Newark manufacturers
found 1t useless to attempt to pay Ameri.
can wages and compete with Austrian
convict labor. The factories were gener.
ally closed and some of the manufacture
ers began to import their buttons. To-
day only about 1915 persons altogether
find employment in pearl button making,
at greatly reduced wages, and the other
1925 persons have either taken the places
of workmen in other avenues of employ
ment or are "walking on their uppers -
While capital and labor engaged in Amer
lean manufactures have been thus injured
the great increase of importation of for
eign pearl buttons has quadrupled the
custom receipts and helped to pile up o

A Farmer SWIndled.

John Carroll, farmer, who lives near
the Princeton Basin, is looking for a
handsomely dressed young man sup.
posed to be from Philadelphia, who
swindled him out of 1856. The stranger
on Saturday last, purchased $1,000
worth of land from John Voorhees,, a

gain by giving him check for 81 900
The stranger then tackled John Carroll.
They, however, could not come to terms
concering CAROLS land, so the stranger
borrowed $85 until he could run down
TO Philadelphia and get some money.
Carroll thought TINT man who could
pay 81. 900 as forfeit was certainly good
for $S5.
When Mr.. Voorhees, presented his
check for 81, 900 at Trenton bank the
paying teller told him it was not worth
the paper it was written on. The stranger
has not returned the money he borrowed
from Carroll.

The statement is made that Attorney
General Stockton has been retained as
one of the counsel for the Hudson Conn.
ty Liquor Dealers Association, and
that be, with Elk. Gov. Leon Albeit, will
argue against the constitutionality OF
the new Local Option High License
law when it comes up on the test case to
be made at the June term of the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Stockton's friends say be
advised Gov. Green to veto the bill
when it came before him, because it was
unconstitutional, and the State cannot
now consistently expect him to argue in
its favor. Still, it will be apt to strike
the average citizen that il the highest
law officer OF the State cannot consis-
tently uphold the constitutionality of
the law, he had much better remain
silent than 10 fight it with the liquor
dealers fee in his pocket while at the
same time drawing his salary from the
State for defending her interests -

An exchange says; A man who has
small pond on his property and desires
to cultivate fish should not waste any
time on carp unless he is prepared to
give them as much attention as he does
his pigs and poultry. The disadvan-
tages OF carp culture make it unprofita-
BILE to keep them unless they are treat
ed scientifically They will not often
bite at baited hook, and when they are
caught in any manner they do not repay
capture, for it is quite generally be-
lieved in New Jersey that they are inferi-
or to any native fish, A pond stocked
with catfish is never-ending source OF
profit. Yellow perch thrive well in clear
and deep water, and will not interfere
with the catfish. In shallow pond
pickerel and catfish may be grown to-
gether, but pickerel and perch do not
agree very we'll. The perch eat enor-
nous quantities of little pickerel and
the big pickeral feed prodigiousy on
perch. Black bass eat both pickerel
and perch and. seldom fall victims to
either. 1t is not advisable to stock
small ponds with black bass unless an
endless supply of food finds access to the
pond. Bass confined in a small pond
will invariably become cannibals unless
they can get plenty of other fish.
