Washington, August 10, 1891

Washington, August 10, 1891.
The action Of the third party in nomin.
ating full State ticket has intensified the
interest in the Ohio campaign, and on all
sides one hears the question: ''Will the
Farmers Alliance, as an organization,
endorse the Peoples party and its candi,
dates?" and more than one emissary of both
the old parties has tried to ascertain at the
national headquarters ofthe Alliance some
thing upon which to base definite opinion.
President Polk refuses to express any
opinion upon the matter, saying that it is
matter that the Ohio Alliance will settle
for themselves in their own way without
outside interference. Representative Jerry
Simpson, who is in toEn taking rest, is
keeping out of sight Of inquisitive news
paper men, but | am told that he said Ia
friend that he had no idea of what, if
any, action the Alliance would take regard
ing the State ticket Of the Peoples party,
and the only personal interest he had in
the campaign was to see an anti Sherman
legislature elected.
An Ohio Alliance man whom met here
said that the Alliance, as an organization,
would take no action of any sort regarding
the State ticket nominated by the Peoples
party but many of It's bcrs--how
many he had no means Of noWng-being
in sympathy with most Of the principles
contained in tie platform adopted by the
Peoples patty would cast their votes for
its candidates, aud another gentleman said
that he had reasons for believing that this
was also the privately expressed opinion Of
President Polk.
Some people who have not the fear of the
powers that be before their eyes are com.
mrnting rather severely on the naval pol
icy which fills the newspapers with ac -.
counts OF the splendid showing our new
vessels are making at the fashionable
watering places, while Rear Admiral
McCann, commander of the South Atlantic
Squadron, is in Washington begging for a
flagship, and his former flagship is on the
way to Mare Island Navy Yard to be con-
demped as worthless. Another one of the
vessels of the South Atlantic Squadron
the Tallapoosa--is said to be so un-
seaworthy that she will have to be
condemned where she is because it
would be impossible to bring her home.
Now people are wanting to know why
some Of our really servceable vessels can
not be sent where there is real duty to be
done. This information could easily be
given by some of the social leaders Of
Washington. if they were SO disposed, as it

Revising the State Laws.

Major Campbell, of Hackensack, who
is chairman of the commission that is at
work revising the laws of New Jersey rel
ative to townships, towns and villages, is
authority for the statement that the three
Commissioners. who are hard at work
every week, will not be able to complete
their task by the time the next Legislature
meets. The law eompilers and revisors
find that the New Jersey legislators have
piled up mountains of acts relating to
small communities, and have decided to
complete that part Oft which affects town.
ships. They will make an effort to have
all the township laws compiled ready for
the next session of the Legislature. The
report on these will be accompanied by a
lot of suggestions about possible improve
ments. Some lawyers who are watching
the work Of the Revision Commission
predict that one of the first results will be
to have all Township Tax Assessors and
Collectors placed on salary. Now they
all receive fees and their work is anything
but uniform or equitable. AS an instance
of this, assessors in some parts of the State
have, under the new law, increased their
valuations one hundred per cent They
are few. Others have raised the figures at
least fifty per cent, but a majority are
making an increase of less than ten pey
cent. This haphazard work is causing a
great deal of discomfort. An effort will
be made to fix uniform assessment under
the salary system.

What is TO be the future of the Hebrew
race is asked nowadays by many persons
who have just lately come to have a con-
cern in it, and from a motive too, although
different from that supposed to influence
humanitarians, ,arcbaologists, and scientists
of the past and present. More pertinently
put the question would be, what is to be-
come Of those who live near the Jewish
colonists in this country? We are coming
now to have several of them not so very
far distant At Carmel there is con-
siderable sized colony, at Alliance another,
and now we see as a result of the recent
sales made by Messrs. Lee, Banks, and
others of Port Elizabeth neighborhood,
that Jewish colony will be planted out
that way. An account says:
The land lies along the line Of the West
Jersey Railroad, between Manumuskin and
Belle Plain, and near the old established
'Hayes Place." with Port Elizabeth in
the Maurice River valley as the nearest
town OF any size. The settlement is called
Halberton and enjoys excellent railroad
facilities.
Some twenty-five houses, together with
factories, are now in process of erection,
and the population is rapidly Increasing.
The land is covered with cal, and pine
timber and when cleared will be plo1uct-
i've, lying as it docs in one of the fertile
belts of Cumberland county.
These people in some instances herd to-
altogether un-American ways. Just now
we have in mind a comfortable Salem
county farm residence that years ago COM
fortably accommodated three persons a
this same residence, without the addit ion
of . single square foot of habitable space
to 1t, furnishes living place for seventeen
Hebrews, men, women and children. The
neighbors adjoining say they are entirely
different in their way of livi3g from any
thing they have ever before seen or ever
heard tell of. No carpet on the floor, and
furniture in piece meal arrangement, and
sleeping places all over the house. The
men, they say, start out in the morning
with a loaf of bread under their arm and
do not return until evening, or not at least
until their task is complete. Below the
house spoken of is pretty gurgling brook
spanned by PLAIN wooden bridge in the
travelled road, and on this bridge, at almost
any hour of the day, the neighbors say, these
Ismalitish women may be seen with their
naked children (eight, ten, or dozen in
number as the case may be) who they dip

An Effort 10 Avoid Fraud.

The new ruling Of the post Office depart
ment in regard to the delivery of pension
letters is of interest to large number of
residents in this vicinity. 1t is very cx-
plicit and directs that a letter addressed
to pensoner must not be delivered to
any person in whose care it may be ad-
dressed, and under no circumstances must
the letters of pensioners sent from the
pension Office, or from any United States
pension agency, be delivered to any attor-
ney, claim agent broker or any other
person. This is done to avoid if possible
the preparation of fraud, which has been
frequent of late years in the pension de-
partment.

claim to have discovered Edgar W.
Nye in Laramie, away back in 1875.
That year was on q lecture trip to the
Pacific Coast, and stopped off at Lara
mic to lecture before the Y. NJ. C. A.
there.
Edgar w. Nye (now known as Bill
Nye) was then editing the BOomerdpg, a
little sheet, with local circulation Of
perhaps two hundred. Mr.. Nye then
told me that he was born on Moosehead
Lake, Maine, but grew up among the
Indians and the rattlesnakes OF the
West.
"You arc q lawyer MS well MS an
editor" said.
"Yes," lie replied.
~ prarticed law Tor about y year,
but" hc added, without changing a
muscle, 'nohody knew much about it;
! kept 1t very quiet. / have been u JUS
tirc Of the peace in Laramie for six
years."
cd.
"Oh, yes, married my wife, and after
that used to marry others, and then
try them for other oilenses."
One day asked Mr.. Nyc how he kept
his teeth so white.
1Oh, that's easy" he said. "all teeth
will remain white fthcy are properly
taken care Of OF course, | never drink
hot drinks, always brush my teeth
morning and evening, avoid acids what
ever, and, although | am forty years old,
my teeth are as good as ever"
"Apd that is all you do to preserve
your teeth, is IT'D" asked.
Eyes, sir, that's all-baring, perhaps,
the fact that put them in n glass OF
saft water nights"
Somebody asked Bill what he thought
OF the Democratic party.
'The Democratic party?" he repeated
in his vigorous English. Why, Demo-
crat keeps our drug store over there,
and when a little girl burned her arm
against the cook stove, and her father
went after package Of Russia salve,
this genial drug store Democrat gave
her Il box OF Rough on Rats What the

"is not so much new platform as a
carload of assorted brains that some fe-
male seminary had left over"
When o'clock came Mr.. Nye was Sc
.lected by the Y. NJ. @. A. to introduce
me to the audience, which he did in the
following unique manner:

that il has devolved upon me tonight
