New Jersey Democrats.

New Jersey democrats met in state con-
vention in Trenton, Sept. TO- After organ
ization, n platform was adopted, which de-
clares that upon all issues affecting the
administration of the national government
the democratic party of New Jersey re-
affirms the doctrines adopted in the nation
al democratic platform at ST Louis in 1888.
II calls attention Ito the fact that ut the
late presidential election large plurality
OF voters of the United States declared by
their ballots their confidence in the nation
al democratic administration, and their de-
sire for its continu Ance," and says: "The
success of the national republican ticket
was brought about by the corrupt use of
money, and this shame has been made the
more glaring by the official honors confer
ed upon contributors TO corruption funds
1t therefore appeals 20 the patriotism of all
honest citizens TO Join in Furnishing every
attempt to debase the elective franchise.
IL declares that trusts cannot be justified
upon any plea of commercial enterprise,
and says that for the benefit of the few
these combinations infiict cruel burdens
upon the many The platform favors
equal taxation; demands a strict enforce
ment of the law regulating the employ
ment of children, and reform in the matter
of a municipal expenditure throughout tho
state, and favors "A revision Of the election
laws. Leon Albeit was nominated for
governor by reclamation, and the conyen-
tion adjourned.

WILL VICTORIA ABDlCATE7
RumOred That She Will in Favor of
Her Son

There is considerable speculation as to
the meaning OF the proposed meeting or
royalties IN Italy next month. The EN-
press Frederick will make her residence at
the villa occupied by her mother last year
AZ Florence, where she will be visited by
her son, the Emperor of Germany, and his
wife, although the objective point OF this
latter pair will eventually be Rome, where,
at the Emperor's request, his reception by
tho Italian monarch will be informal and
unmarked by reviews or display.
Although great pains have been taken TO
keep tne fact from the public, the Queen OF
England will join her daughter and her
imperial grandson at Florence, where a
matter of the highest Importance, not only
TO Great Britain but TO the world, will be
decided. This is nothing less than the
proposal that Queen Victoria should abdi-
cate in favor OF the Prince of Wales.
The Prince has been pleased 10 announce
that his health has been much improved by
quatfiDg the German waters, thus further
ingratiating himself with the Germans and
their ruler, which it is his role TO do now
tor most powerful reasons.
Their outward reconciliation, at least, is
now complete and the Prince has privately
given out that he intends henceforth TO
abandon all frivolous habits of life, discard
all loose acQuaintances, however entertain
ing, and conduct himself as becomes the
heir TO a throne undoubtedly the most envi-
aDle OF any In existence. Daughter ana
grandson are expected TO impress this edi
flying resolution upon Queen Victoria at
the meeting Of the trio in Italy, and another
attack will be made upon her TO relinquish
the cares of state. IL is well understood
that the reason that n former assault failed
was the old lady's vigorously expressed OBJ
lection to seeing, putting il as delicately as
possible, person leading such life as the
Prince has led, assume the regency
over q people, accustomed at least to a Writ
uous, she might even have said prudish,
court.
Now that he has determined to forswear
ballet girls and professional beauties alb
stain from baccarte and similar seductive
games, and accept only the society of the
grave and learned, it is hoped that the last
objections of the Queen to retiring to pri-
vate life will be overcome and that she can
conscientiously crafty her secret desire TO
pass her declining years wherever she de-
sires in the companionship OF her widowed
daughter.

Window ExnlainS Ii.

Referring TO certain newspaper state
ments that during the months of July aud
August of this year the public debt had
been increased over seven million dollars,
while during the same months in 1883 the
debt had been decreased over eleven mil
lion dollars, Secretary Window says:
"Those statements convey an entirely
erroneous impression. The fact is, as
shown by the books of the treasury, that
on June 80, 1859, the total amount OF the
public debt, including bonds of all kinds,
was $3.50, 3Ss, 9o1, and on Aug. 81, it was
only 1915, ,S07, showing a reduction of
S20,9l0, 80 during those two months
THE reduction during the same months
Of last year was only about one-third OF
that amount, viz: 81 ,05l, 270. The reduc.
tion of the annual interest charge on the
public debt during the months of July and
August, 1SSS, was only $29l ,30l.l0, while
the reduction of the annual interest charge
during the same months this year was
$S75,6S5 being little more than three
times as great reduction as that of last
year. In fact the reduction of annual in
terest on the public debt during the last
two months has been equalled by only u
few periods in this country's history, nota-
bly, in President Garfield S administration,
during the first six months of which the
annual interest charge was reduced $l5,.

Extended for Pensions.

On June 20, 1885, there were 3i5, 125 pen
sioners on the rolls, and June 20, 1889, 4S9,
125. For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1855, the appropriations for pensions were
$685., $40 and the payments $64, 9i2, S4S.
For the year ended June 30 1889, the appro-
priations were $50, 473, 900 and the payments
So, 275, 1l3 For the current year ending
June 20, 1850, the appropriations are $50
Az, 900.
In July aud August there were advanced
to pension agents on acquisitions S34, 200,
900, while the amount disbursed by the
agents in the same month was 81, 4S6, 205.
More than half of these disbursements
were in payment of cash allowed during
the preceding fiscal year, and not paid then
because of deficiency in the appropriation
making IL necessary TO pay these claims out
Of the appropriation for the fiscal year
1890. This accounts in every particular for
the apparent increase in the payments of
pensions during July and A gust 1852.
In July and August last We there was
advanced to agents on acquisitions $24, 500,
600, and they paid out in payment of pen
sions a, S40,571.

A Wrangle Over a Lease.

The Little Miami Railroad from Gin
cinnati to Xenia is under lease TO the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway of
the Pennsylvania system. Under the
lease the Pennsylvania road guarantees 5
per cent dividend on about 5000, 900 of
the stock of the Little Miami, the interest
on some Columbus and Xenia Railway
bonds included. An installment of divi-
dends on stock thus guaranteed, amounting
to $l26, AZ, AZ, has been permitted to go un-
paid BY the Pennsylvania guarantors. 1t
seems that this lapse is covered by a
wrangle between the parties concerned as
to the terms of the lease. Both parties
agree that the terms required the Little
Miami TO issue stock TO pay for betterments
on the line of the Little Miami, the interest
of which stock was 10 be guaranteed by the
Pennsylvania. Recently the Little Miami
refused 10 allow S400.OO0 spent for depot
and other terminal betterments in Gin
cinnati to be represented by its stock. The
Little Miami people say they refused this
because the Pennsylvania Road made them
without first obtaining the consent of the
Little Miami directory, as the contract re-
quires. 1t is possible the courts will be
called into requisition.

lives. The victims were at work in drift

burst through the shaft and flooded the

1917 bushels. In the northern counties it

crop. The quality is no better than re-
ported last month
Oats average 34.9l bushels in the south
ern section $3.50 bushels in the central

drought and cool nights have been disas
