The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1889-06-24
This paper Is Democratic in principles
and Is Independent IN Its Uteaos ON all
local questions.
A Republican view Of It.

The New York Press blossoms out
with a column of news" headed New
Jersey Politics, " which its opens with
the startling assertion that the Re-
publicans of this State are casting
their eyes about for a good strong
Gubernatorial candidate who will be
able to defeat Leon Albeit, Senator
Werts or anyone else the Democrats
determine to nominate" 1t is per-
haps keeping within moderate bounds
to say that no democrat will be panic
stricken at this extraordinary energy
on the part of the Republicans of the
State. "Let them look" will be the
average comment, we believe.
Yes, let them look, and let them
choose the best man in their party.
What can he do? 1t is not in politics
for any candidate to overcome the
handicap that the Republican MEM
bers Of this years Legislature have
imposed upon their party. They may
wall in vain to 1.-THE churches, the
Sunday schools, and the temperance
societies. The answer from all quar-
ters where honesty is respected will
be a stern condemnation of corpora
tion subserviency, of betrayal of the
sovereign rights OF the State, Of job
berry, of corruption, and of hypocrit-
ical pretence.
The next campaign is settled, who
ever the candidates may be-settled
by the issues, and the Republican
party is doomed.

Miss Chamberlain,s Finery.
From the Baltimore Americo

All feminine London is interested in
the trousseau of Miss Chamberlain, who
weds Captain Leland. Miss Chamber
lain is to marry, fortune. 1t was sup
posed that with her beauty and the
prestige given her by royal favor she
would get a title, but she has chosen
to content herself with a good looking,
well born young fellow, whohas hand
some estates and a big bank account,
which would seem, on the whole, as
much as any reasonable woman, even
d professional American beauty,
could ask for. At all events, whether
she is contented or not, she has
chosen him, and her trousseauis a won
der and a Joy, having been made
entirely in Paris and minis of money
being spent upon it.
The u~nderclothes are all in sets to
match, as, for example, there are six
r~ose-colored silk chemises, and in the
box with these is a pair of rose-colored
satin corsets, a silk petticoat of the
same shade, and six pairs of stockings
to match with q pair of dainty little
pointed-toed satin slippers to COM
plete the set. There are similar sets
in pale sea-green, cream color, snow
white, lemon, blue and lilac, each one
of them having arrived in London in
its own separate case, packed in tissue
paper and tied up with ribbons to
match the contents. Her parasols are
another particularly splendid feature,
there being some twenty of them in
all, so that she shall have d suitable
sunshade to carry with any possible
costume. One is made entirely of
~rose-colored ostrich tips, to match a
r~ose-colored gown, in which she will
drive in the afternoon. The handle is
made of All deliberately carved coral of
the same shade as the feathers, and it
is very big, being lined inside with
gauze, and forming a great canopy of
fluffy pink feathers; another has an
ivory staff, with a winged Cupid's
head forming the knob of the handle,
and the whole silk top is completely
covered with accordion plaits of white
silk null.
Another one, made entirely of lace,
has q broad, flat handle of highly
polished wood, and sunk into this,

Education VERSUS Ignorance.

The New York Press raises the odd
question, ''Does academic education
aid or impede originality 1t is curl
Gus that such q conundrum should
be propounded at this late stage OF
the worlds history. One might as
well ask whether it is a good thing to
eat cooked food, to wear more than
one garment, or to live in settled hab-
itations. To the average man the
problem resolves itself into the simple
question, docs improvement i'm
proven" or, "Does development de-
velop?"
Originality is an Unborn gift, like
a~rticulate speech. But like speech it
calls for development-for cultivation.
Just as untaught speech is babble,
not language, SO untaught originality
is eccentricity, not invention.
The majority of the most useful
minds of civilized countries have been
cultivated by regular academic meth
DDS. One of the best proofs OF the
advantage of college training is that
clever men who have not had its adj
vantage themselves almost invariably
secure it for their sons, even at some
sacrifice.

The Watercress Weed.
From the SIN.

II have lived here for nearly forty
years, " said an old resident of Belle
vile, N. j., land never in all that
time have | eaten anything for my
breakfast during the spring, summer
and autumn seasons except bread and
butter and watercresses.
The old gentleman's practice is not
exclusively his own. There are still
persons who eat watercresses, and call
them the healthiest herbs that grow.
The streams that flow into the Pas
sale River in the vicinity of Belleville
are Just now literally choked with
watercresses, and although bushel
baskets are filled with them every
morning, they seem rather to increase
than to diminish in numbers. Scores
of persons, young and old, find a
healthful recreation in picking them
when the early dew is on the grass,
and are willing to submit to the inevi-
table penalty of wet feet for the pleas
ure of the occupation and the flavor
of the cress. Country maidens, who
are by no means partial to early ris-
ing as a prelude to lighting the fire or
milking the COW, are uD with the lark
when it becomes a question of wadlng
in the cool streams and gathering
watercresses.
The watercress is a weed, pure and
simple. 1t can never be anything else.
Efforts to cultivate it and produce a
better and more delicate species have
been made, and signally failed. I'm
der artificial treatment it loses the
faint, piquant, mustard flavor that is
its especial charm, and assumes much
of the hot, pungent taste of the horse
radish. 1t fourishes for nearly nine
months in the year, and, as it is son
staptly renewing itself, the large,
coarse leaves of the old plants may be
left to wither and only the young
delicate stems picked. 1t will not bear
cooking of any kind, but eaten raw
with a little salt, and fresh bread and
butter, it is-well, try it.

A Sea of Milk.

Wv wv L
sThere are 80, 600, 500, 900 invested
in the dairying business IN this
country" said a citizen with a pre-
objection for statistics. THAT amount
is almost double the money invested
in banking and commercial industries.
1t is estimated that 1t requires
5000, 900 COWS to supply the demand
for milk and its products in the
United States. To feed these cows
GO, 1000, 900 acres of land are under Gull
tivation. The agriculture and dairy
machinery and implements in use are
worth over $500, 600, 900. The men en-
ployed in the business number 700, 900
and the horses over 1000, 000. The
COWS and horses consume annually
30, 1000, 900 tons of hay, nearly 80. 600, 600
bushels of cornmeal, about the same
amount of oatmeal, 275, DOC, 900 bushels
of oats, 1900, 900 bushels OF bran, and
80, 600, 900 bushels of corr, to say moth
ing of the brewery grains, sprouts,
and other questionable feed of various
kinds that are used to a great extent.
1t costs $3.50, DOC, 900 to feed these cows
and horses. The average price paid
to the laborer necessary in the dairy
business is probably $50 a month,
amounting to $3.50, 000, 900 a year.
1.-THE average COW yields about 450
gallons of milk a year, which gives a
total product of 6, 750, 900, 900 gallons.
Twelve cents g gallon is a fair price to
estimate the value of this milk at a
total return to the dairy farmers OF
$S10, 900, 900, if they sold all their milk
as milk. But so per cent. of the milk
is made into cheese and butter. 1t
takes "a pounds OF milk to make one
pound of butter, and about 10 pounds
to make one of cheese. There is the
same amount Of nutrition in 81 pounds
of milk that there is in one pound of
beef. A fat steer furnishes so per cent.
of homeless beef, but it would require
about "a, DOC, 600 steers, weighing 800
pounds each, to produce the same
amount of nutrition as the annual
milk product does"
