COLONEL HEPPENHEIMER PRESIDENT.

He Succeeds Colonel McAnerney as the
Head of h Democratic Society.
The Hudson Democratic Society held a
meeting last evening at its club house,
No. 291 York street, for the purpose of
electing "a president in the place of
Colonel John McAnerney, who was
elected to that Office upon the %organiza-
ton of the society, and who found that it
would be impossible for him to accept the
position. ea
There were over fifty members present,
and Colonel William c. Heppenheimer
was elected without a dissenting voice.
Sheriff Robert Davis, Surrogate James
H. O'Neill, County Clerk Dennis Nc
Laughlin, Register George B. Fielder and
Street and Water Commissioner Edward
Duggan have been elected members of

mittee, and he will probably be elected a
member at the next meeting.

We win Have Ballot Reform.

Governor Albeit, in his speech at
Rutherford last night, expressed him
self strongly in favor of ballot reform.
He said the Democratic party was
pledged, and he personally was
pledged to a reform which would put
an end to bribery and corruption in
any shape.
Our Republican friends will be
panied to hear this. Their organs
have been grinding out walls about
Democratic insincerity in the most
heartrending fashion, and it will be
very hard to keep or doing so in face
of the repeated declarations Of prom
inent democrats that they meant
ballot reform during the campaign,
that they mean it now, and that they
will insist on the passage OF a
thorough act before the next Legis
lature adjourns.
OF course, our Republican friends
are surprised to find that the Demo-
cratic party was in earnest. They
howled about ballot reform too, and
they did not mean it in the least.
They are, therefore, in a state of be-
wilderment at the aspect of things.
They see, too, that they are going to
be in no end of a fix when the Legis-
lature convenes. Determined as they
are that no reform shall be effected,
they do not see how to overcome the
Democratic resolution without put
ting themselves in direct opposition
to the will of the people.
Indeed it may be doubted whether
all the Republican senators will stand
firm in obstructing the Democratic
bill, which will come to them from
the House with bells on Some of
them will be up for reelection next
fall, and they will perceive that moth
ing could damage them nor in going
before che people than the reputation
OF having helped in the defeat of bal
lot reform.
The Democrats, at any rate, have
said the thing shall be done, and we
believe it will.

Not !, Ghost.

heard yesterday of a graveyard incl
dent. occurring in the suburbs, which, no
doubt, would have proved to many minds
that ghosts exist and may be encountered
any night, had it not promptly been in
yestigated. 1t seems that q maid servant,
employed somewhere in Brookline, | be-
lieye. came home in q weak and panic
stricken condition, declaring that she had
seen q ghost as she went by a certain
cemetery; that it was apparently the oc-
cupant of a grave who arose as she came
along, and waved his shroud, a volumin-
Gus white garment. She waited 1or nc
more, but took to her heels and ran
all the way home. The snaster
Of the house thereupon procured a
lantern, and, taking the. servant along,
much against her will, proceeded to look
for the ghost. When they arrived at the
cemetery, the oma pointed out a par
ticular lot, and sure enough there did APP
pear to be a shroud, o something very
like 1t, spread in the middle of The lot;
but closer scrutiny showed how 1t had
come there. 1t was a piece OF cotton cloth
that had been placed over some plants in
order to protect them from a frost, for the
night was cold, and the domestic had
happened to be going by in the dusk just
as the person who had charge OF the lot
threw the cloth ever the flowers. 1t was
almost a shame to spoil so good a ghost
story, and / dare say that some super
stitious souls will refuse TO accept the ex-
PLANTATION .-Bost0n Post.

THE Fourth District kicking tax
PAYERS claim that discrimination was
made against them because they OPP
posed the charter. But how do they
account for the kick that some citi-
zens of Greenville are making2 There
is no charter business there. Now
does not this show the absurdity of
the whole kicking position.
Here is the truth. Citizens have
become SO accustomed to paying taxes
on under-valuations of their property
that they are FESTIVE under the APP
plication of a healthy system of APP
n~raisement.

PRINCIPAL SMITH of the Gutten-
berg public school convicts himself of
u~nfitness for the position he holds, by
the very defence which he presents.
We have heretofore said that we be-
lieve in allowing school principals
power to infiict exemplary punish
ment in extreme cases. But as
surcdly ill-tempered, capricious,
and excessive disciplinary measures
are more out of place in a school than
anywhere else in the world. Abuses
of authority such as Mr.. Smith has
practised have been the cause of the
withdrawal of proper powers from
more discreet men.

CATARRl9.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Feyer-A New
Home treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they are due to
the presence of living parasites in the lining
membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.
Microscopic research, however, has proved this
to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is
that a simple remedy has been formulated where
.by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured In from one to three simple
applications made at home by the patient once
in two weeks.
n. B.--This treatment is not q snuff or an ONT
ment; both have been discarded by reputable
physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining
this new treatment is sent on receipt of ten
cents by a. Fl. Dixon & Son, Nos. 337 and $50

West, where he had developed that in
dependence and se1f-reIiance which, com
bined with good looks and twenty dollar
gold pieces, made a man superior to all
Europe. He strolled with graceful dig
nifty into a gilded bar over which presided
a divinity OF superb physical form, but
still q woman, with that air which only
an English barmaid can possibly put on
-an air of mingled %conceit, pride, CO
quetry and humility. She awaited has

He was dressed in the latest fashion.
He threw the lapel of his coat back with

to spend their spare evenings in read
ing instead of loafing around bars.
AS an additional attraction coffee will
be served at the very low price Of two
cents a cup.
A desire to promote temperance is,
of course, at the root of this matter;
hence the coffee. 1t is feared that
young menwho have been accustomed
to drink a great deal of beer and other
fluids in the course of an evening Will
not visit any place where no drink OF
any kind is served. The plan has been
tried many times with a fair measure
of success. The idea of hot coffee on a
cold evening is enticing and has always
helped to draw guests to free reading
rooms. And yet it must be admitted
that if the plan is defective anywhere,
it is in the coffee end of it.
In the first place, a man does not
want to drink much coffee. In the
| second place, if he does drink very
much he will suffer for it. There is
reason to doubt whether any other
beverage short of absinthe will so
fearfully revenge itself upon those
who overindulge. Nervousness, in
somnia and dyspepsia all assail the
man who makes himself a slave to
coffee, and our observation is that any
habit whatever may be broken more
easily than the coffee habit. Ninety
nine out of every one hundred tenn
perance workers who plead with men
to give up the intoxicating cup,
are themselves slaves to coffee, and
could no more resign it than they
could fly over the moon About
ninety-five out of the hundred suffer
ills of various kinds which they
could trace to coffee if they knew
enough about it's real action. 1t is a
delightful but unsafe beverage whose
total disuse by ma would be a dis
tinct advantage to the race.
Like every other narcotic poison it
s a stimulant up to a certain point,
but when the dose passes a certain
line the action upon the nerves is in
formally bad.
We hope that the ladies will emem-
Der these facts when they get their
coffee room started, and will see to it
that intemperance in the matter of
coffee is not encouraged. A sleepless
night is not a good preparation for a
days hard work.
What the world really needs most is
a harmless beverage-one that no.
body will drink too much of, and
which will not hurt anybody if he
does. When this is found the prob
lem of coffee rooms will be solved,
and the suppression Of the saloon will
be only a question of time.
