The statistics of public Indebtedness
collected by the Census Bureau, for the
purposes of comparison, afford muck
information in general sense, and will
excite considerable pride on the part OF
United States citizens, when they find
that The per capita of the national debt il
a bagatelle compared with the per capita
debt OF several of the more important
nations OF Europe.
1t seems that the strictly national debt
per capita in the United States amounts
to $14.63, or including State and country
debts to $20.46, while 10 Italy the per
capita is $76.06;in Great Britain, $87. 10;
in the New Netherlands, $95. Sc, and in
France II is piled up to $l1635. OF
course these countries have been adding
to their debts materially OF late years In
consequence of war preparations. The
Indebtedness OF nearly all the foreign nat
ions so far heard from has nearly doubled
in the decade from 1880 to 1890, while
that of the United States has been reduced
nearly one half during the same period.

CONSIDER THESE POINTS.

THE WEEKLY MAIL AND EXPRESS is
the only newspaper in America which
gives careful review every week of all
matters of interest in the Financial, Le-
gal, Religious and College Worlds. These
are among its specialties. Its page of
Foreign News is one of its most remark
able features.
THE WEEKLY MAIL AND EXPRESS is a
Republican paper, not a narrow, partisan
sheet, but strong and fearless exponent
of true Republican principles. 1t stands
among the first as an advocate of TEN.
perance and Ballot Reform.
THE WEEKLY MAITLAND EXPRESS gives
all the news of the day, Foreign and Do
nestle, and presents it 10 the most attrac-
tive and readable shape.
THE WEEKLY MAIL AND EXPRESS has
among its regular contributors some of
the ablest writers of Europe and America.
Its short stories for young and old,
poems, sketches of travel and advent ure
are the best of their kind. In these and
all features OF a progressive newspaper 1t
is not surpassed.
The tone Of THE WEEKLY MAIL AND
EMPRESS is pure, elevated, wholesome
and bracing. 1t is paper which care
fully avoids everything of the cheap and
sensational order. It can always be
trusted.

Two Kinds of censuses.

A census of the United States differs
in its very conception from a European
census. Once in ten years, as with us,
the English government makes an emu
meration of the inhabitants of the king
dom. The time chosen is the night of
the I'd of April. On or before that day
the enumerator must leave at each house
within his district family schedule,
which calls for the name and personal
characteristics-age, sex, color, occupa-
ton, etc.--of each person who on that
night shall sleep in that house. If man
be travelling on hatnight, he is to be re-
ported at the hotel or private house at
which he arrives in the morning.
A census of the United States is very
different thing. As in England, the
census is supposed to be taken on GER
tain day-with us the LIST of June--but
the question regarding each and every
man is not where he was on that day,
but where on that day he had '.his
usual place Of abode. General Francis
A. Walker in Forum.

Capt. G. 81. w. Van Solver, Of this
city, has just completed his thirteenth
year of service as Adjutant of the Seventh
Regiment, N. G. N. j. He is one of the
most popular and efficient officers in the
service In this State. He is thoroughly
up in tactics, drills, military regulations,
etc., and is frequently consulted on these
points by officers who outrank him. The
Captain has our congratulations on his
successful career as Adjutant--a position
that requires much more ability than 10
many Offices Of higher rank.

There is no more interesting devel-
opment of the Briggs heresy trial than the
evidence it has already afforded of the
enormous reservoir of theological lore
that had lain dormant in the editorial
sanctums of this country. The average
American editor does not hesitate fear
lessly to tackle any question that comes
along. He is as knightly and courageous
In this respect as the great Don Quixote
himself.

The Democratic Board of Freehold
ers, last Wednesday, showed great deal

-Sylvanus Carkhuff, of Pennington,
met with rather serious accident last
Friday. He was loading a revolver, and
the cartridges not fitting properly, he
knocked the chambers on stone, in
order to tighten the loads, when the

balls entered his left hand, one passing
through finger and the other lodging in

The Pennsylvania railroad is rushing
toward 10 completion the new depot at
Clinton street, Trenton. They are also
digging out under the railroad bridge,
where they will lay more tracks, and
using the dirt to fill in in front of Clinton
street depot, where the grade has to be
raised six feet. The depot when finish
ed will be one of the handsomest on the
line between Philadelphia and New York.

AN exchange reports the following
new and ingenious swindle: A fellow ad-
vertises that he wants to buy farm.
He gets hundreds of answers, of course.
Then he writes that he will send an agent
to examine the premises Gas the place
seems to be just what he desires), If the
farmer will remit sum to pay agents
expenses. Any intelligent farmer who
bites at such bait deserves very little
sympathy.

Ben Butler says that during the war nc
bunting could be made in this country,
and the price per piece was from $50 to
$S6. After the war tariff of 40 per
cent. was put on bunting, and $4,000
looms in this country now make bunting
for $18 per piece. Some people claim,
continued Ben, that the tariff is added 10
the price; but with duty of five cents q
yard on calico, print cloths sell at three
and three, quarter cents yard. These are
some tariff facts which Ben's Democratic
admirers will do well to ponder over.

We have proposals in our possession
to put in a plant with two and ont

the water works. This Will give US
the arc lights-the same as are now IN
use on Chestnut street in Philadelphia
aud twenty-five candle power lights
on side streets.
The cost OF operating the plant now
here is about S25OO-leaving a net
profit of over $500 per annum. The
cost Of operating the plant we have
the estimate on is no more, aud will
enable the town to do more and better
work.
Estimates for a water plant capable
of supplying the demands Of this town
for the next quarter of a century have
been made that will cost see, 900; but
with the boilers of the electric plant
spoken ofabove, we believe that works
suitable for Milford can be built for
$50, 600; but even if it cost $4,000, the
interest charge would be only 1000

How Shall We Cot Our Ice supply7

The loss of an ice harvest is a severe
tax on the circulating medium of Mil
ford, aud this has been common oc-
currence for several seasons past. With
the prospect Of ge,ang no naturally
formed ice tn is year into ourice houses,
the consideration OF the subject of next
summers supply 5 in order. Ice is an
actual necessity; the butcher needs it
to keep his meat; tue dairymen have
got to have it to make good butter;
hotels are compelled to use large guam
titles of ice, or suffer the loss of perish
able provisions; ice cream manufacture
ers can't do without it; in sickness
and death it is Indispensable, and in
every family it is useful. What will
the people of Milford do about it? In
Salisbury. Md, the question has been
solYed by establishing an ice machine
and we are informed that it is prof
able investment to the stockholders. A
plant capable of making five tons per
day would cost $4,000, and it would
be capable Of supplying not only the
demand in Milford, but the surround
ing towns. 1t costs about Sl.O0 per
ton to manufacture ice-which is
cheaper than it can be cut and housed
from our ponds -and ice can be sold
fol one-quarter of one cent per pound
at good profit. This price is away
down below the price Milford has
heretofore always paid for even poor
quality Of ice. Mr.. George s. Grier is
making a canvass of the town for
stock in an ice plant, and has about
half of the amount subscribed. He
figures as follows;
Cost of 5-ton ice machine $l2 600
which will manufacture ice at sl.OO
per ton.
r.day's product, S tons, at 5000 S 5000
days IS " at 600. 2IO.oo
4 weeks 1So at 600 $1,000
7 months $50 " at 600 5.sSo.oo
Interest Oh cost Of plant at per cent
is S72O, and the manufacture Of $50 tons
of ice at S1.OO per ton makes total
expense account of 81, 700; which, if
taken from the season of seven months
work, will leave 81, 1sO net profit.
There is one advantage artificially
frozen ice has over the product Of ma
ture on our ponds, viz: its pureness
and its lasting qualities

Peach Yellows.

In response to a letter Of inquiry as
to how the "yeIlows' law operated in
Michigan, the following letter was
received from the Michigan Expert
mental Station.
SOUTH HAVEN, MICH, Feb. 70, 1891.
W. R. PHILLIPS
Dear Sir.-For the first few years after
the appearance of the yellows here, we de-
stroyed perhaps ten per cent per year of our
orchards At present I doubt if two per
cent has been affected while many orchards
are entirely free from the disease. At frst
a few orchardists refused to cut diseased trees
when notified. At present. although now
and then a man is slack in applying the
remedy, it is not necessary to apply the law.
Neglected orchards have all disappeared,
and trees are removed voluntary. The dis
ease is felt to be under control; and the area
of peach orcharding is rapidly increasing
each year Compliance with the law is
nlw oluntary and universal.
I am only likely, this season to use tree
or two each of new or rare varieties, I
have not yet made a list of such as I will
need.
Hastily yours
