TRENTON. March 5. 1s9L.-The Commits
sioners appointed by the State to estimate
upon and condemn the State camp

tage in that vicinity, while the valuation
of the camp grounds is estimated BY the
Commissioners at $4,000. As the State
expects to pay about 100000 for the
grounds, including damage TO adjacent
property holders. there il reason to be-
lieye the project will soon be settled and
the State take possession of the property.

Safe Sweeping.


The common and necessary opera
ton of sweeping the floor of a school
room, factory or other large apart
ment is generally carried out with
great Inconvenience to the sweepers,
and with the result that a large pro-
portion of the dust removed from the
ground is transferred to every Object
in the room where it can find a resting
place. The air, too, is contaminated
for q long time afterward with fleet
ing particles, which are very distress
ing to those who have to breathe in it.
All this "a be avoided by dispensing
with the common practice of sprink-
ling the floor with water previous to
the use OF the broom, and by apply
ing the moisture in q different way.
By laying a line of wet sawdust right
across M end of the apartment, and
by sweeping it foot by foot to the
other end, it win in its passage lick
up every bit of dust without raising
any in the air. BY adding to the saw
dust a small proportion of any disin-
fectant it is obvious that the cleaning

The Redistrieting ordinance.

~ lin
We do not exactly comprehend the
attitude OF Mr.. Schermerhorn and the
Republicans in general regarding the
Aldermanic redistricting. Whether
it be regarded as a matter of politics
or principle, we cannot see what right
they have to object.
II the movement is to be considered
from the purely partisan standpoint,
it is simply ludicrous for Mr.. Scher-
merhorn to plead for mercy or respite.
His touching appeal to the Aldermen
TO go slow reminds us of nothing so
much as of the small boy about bed
time asking to be let set up a little
longer.
But, when we get down to principle.
we do not see that there is much more
reason in the Republican position
Either Jersey City's voting popula-
ton gives a Democratic majority 7 it
gives a Republican majority. If the
majority of the voters are Democratic,
it is just a trile absurd to de mand
that in virtue of an antiquated ar
rangement of tine districts the munich
pal legislature shall be left in control
Of the Republicans.
The question therefore SINNERS
down to this:-Is Jersey City Demo-
cratic or Republican on asquare issue?
To this, we believe there can be but
one answer. 1t is true that with
special complications there are enough
independent voters in the city to sway
the majority to the Republican side,
as was the case in the ~Shrievalty con-
test last Fall; but the majority which
Senator Mcdonald received for Con
gress in that same election amply
proves the normal political complex
ion of the city and demonstrates that
under any and all circumstances it is
Democratic on a pure party issue.
As for the independent vote, it is
all to the advantage Of the Republi-
cans if they can demonstrate that
they have been unfairly treated.
Let. them make the redistricting an
issue in the coming contest if they
choose. If they can prove to the
people that it is unfair or unjust for a
Democratic city to have Democratic
aldermen, we are willing they should
carry every district.

One of the advantages of light gym

nal, is that the sick and convalescent
can make what appear to be trihing
efforts, and by them, in time, be re-
stored to active health. If too feeble
to be practically able to make but lit
tie exertion, try what are known as
deep breathing movements. Lie fiat
upon the back, take as long and as
deep breaths as possible, and while
the mouth is closed, slowly throw the
arms up in front and then at the
sides. Rest for ten minutes. Try
again the same inhalation and ex-
halation of air, the latter being pure
and fresh. After awhile, attempt the
same, sitting up. These exercises can
safely be taken by the sick one every
day, several times, and the whole
muscular system will be improved.

WE wonder what induces the State
Gazette to print such nonsense as this?
The most vehement opposition TO the new tax
bill is aimed az the $500 exemption and the 81
poll tax-both features OF thu present law. The
new act may be a bad one, but CT certainly not on
these grounds.
Does the Gazette take the people of
the State for children to be imposed
on by such silly misrepresentation.
In fact, nobody has cited either of
these matters as an essential objection
to the tax bill. Both have been
questioned, both have been spoken
about as Of doubtful wisdom and
doubtful justice: but if they We're the
only flaws, the bill would go through
with bells on.n
The vital objections to the bill are
the inquisitorial powers it confers, the
centraIizing tendency of its main
features; the double taxation of some
property and the outrageous discrim-
ination against other; the failure to
reach the railway corporations, and
the merciless subversion of private
rights and interests in the scheme of
collection.
These are the elements that make
the bin unpopular and that will un-
doubtedly kill it.

WE congratulate the Democratic

The practice of sitting on to May is

can always be done in six or eight
weeks. 1t had best be done quickly,
always, and once it is done the pres
ence of the Legislature at Trenton 10

the woman clerk who guides the

feelings akin to pain and almost as
sharp as the small tool itself. The
fact remains hat clothes will wear
out, and the clerical woman's gowns,
worn constantly as they are, grow
shabby much more quickly than if
worn in change with house frocks:
consequently many stitche must be
taken from Office work. Would it not
be a bright idea for some young lady

to earn alittle (Which might be more as
her custom e~xtended), to contract to
keep in repair the garments of as many
nme as she could secure, and either
go TO their homes once a week, or plan
to send for their wearing apparel. The
compensation to be in proportion to
the amount of repairing required, and
surely need not be a sum which would
weigh heavily upon the average clerk
