Golden Medical Discovery, that it will do
all that they represent, in the cure OF

witnessing It's thousands Of cures for

in selling it Gas they are doing, through
druggists) under a positive guarantee of
its giving satisfaction in every case, or
money paid for it will be refunded. No
medicine of ordinary merit could be sold
under such severe conditions with profit

politics of the respectable city OF
Newark are simply leprous, and the
Newark papers are being forced to
open their eyes to the fact through
the villainies which are almost daily
coming to light.
1t is strange, too, to see these
papers adopting the very same forms
of condemnation, almost the same
terms of expression which Judge
Knapp applied to Hudson county in
a certain memorable charge. Evil
IDENTIFY they realize that the Judges
censures apply in a special way to
Essex wickedness. By the way it is
to be hoped that Mr.. Marsh's investi-
eating committee will not overlook
the Newark election frauds. The
NeaUs alleged that votes were bought
for Grub at So each. 1t is
also generally understood that the
Saturday before election the General
gave his check for $40, 900 to somebody
to buy votes, and thatsomebody cody
embezzled the amount. Let us have
a thorough exposure of Essex corrnp-
ton in order that the courts and the
Legislature may chastise it, and save
the ring ridden thief ridden people of
that unhappy city.

The purpose Of the Senate majority
to unseat Senator Mcdonald in. favor
of Stuhr is practically acknowledged,
and in order to do it they will have to
go outside of the evidence. They have
shown frauds and false counts that
would, if undisputed, reduce Melon
AIDS majority to about 3, 800. and that
is all. The proposition that their dis
coveries having reduced McDonald's
majority by 5000, the facts they
take off the remaing $500, is not to be
tolerated. 1t would be an injustice
far more disastrous to the cause of
reform than to Mr.. Mcdonald. He
could afford to be the martyr of ruth
less partisanship; the State can not
afford to make him the scapegoat of
Hudson county's sins.

A Plan TO Start Road Improvement.

Circulate a paper among farmers
of district. pledging each farmer
who will sign the agreement, to haul
and dump enough stone on the road
side to pike the worst part of the
road adjacent to his property. II a
bad section Of road lies between two
farms, each to contribute stone in
proportion to the value of his prop
erty. The conditions to be that the
County Commissioners provide a
steam breaker and two men to crush
the stones thus furnished and the
supervisor to put the crushed stone
on the roads, the supervisor being
furnished with diagram and speciti-
cations directing him how the work is
to be done. A good turnpike road in
place of chronic mud hole along
side of any farm would pay the farm.
err hundred per cent in few years
for the work required to dump stone
on the road side, at slack times.
Who will start the ball? The Lord
helps those who ende&yor to help
themselves. 1t the work is once
fairly inaugurated it will be followed
up till all the roads are stoned.
Where a creek or run with gravel
banks is near a road, no material
will make a better and more endur-
ing road than gravel from the stream
dumped on the road and properly
placed. Eight to twelve inches of
gravel will make any road dry,
smooth and hard. Haul off the mud
and put on gravel.

The Junto of Eleven.


The political poker ring of Mary
land never SO brazenly showed its
hand before as it did in the legisla-
ture last week, when the ring gave
notice that they had sotcked the
cards and held all the winning hands.
They called q caucus and coolly pro-
posed that all bills be brought before
eleven persons who had been care.
fully selected, and all measures that
star chamer committee of eleven en-
dorsed should be placed before the
Legislature and passed without much
ceremony or debate, and any meas
ure the committee didn't favor should
stop right there, and have nothing
more said about it.
The Australian Ballot law would
never pass this committee, a revised
tax law to compel corporations to
pay their just proportion Of the taxes
would never see the light. The Cor
man ring was forced to give way to
the pressure last fall or be beaten at
the polls, but German knowing if the
reform measures were carried out in
good faith, that were promised, his
political goose was cooked for ever
more, and the band of election
rogues at his back feeling sure that
their occupation wonld also be gone,
are al. making common cause to beat
the people, ana their present role is
the most brazen ever attempted by
the gang. They feel it is death if those
measures pass into law, and if their
present attitude of standing unmask.
ed in their rascality before the peo-
pie damns them in future, it may, if
successful. give them one more lease
of power, hence, they as usual make
common cause with the corporations
to defeat any measure looking to fair
elections and honest tax laws.
We trust for the honor of Cecil
that our members will fight while
they have breath. against every
movement to rob the legislators of
the power delegated as sacred trust
to them by their constituents, nor
allow it to be placed in the hands of
political jnnto, to serve the greed
of grasping corporations and the
infamous purpose of one of the most
corrupt political rings ever organized
in this or any State. Mr.. Writ, we
are glad to see, was one of the first
to show fight against this Infamous
attempt to make tool of the legis-
lature and we sincerely hope the
member of the House will be found
standing by him, fighting the rogues
to the bitter end.
