their latest success. no. 900 Miles Away
The title of the piece means that the adj
ventures of the hero are found in Aus
tralia. Joe Ferris is the pivotal character
of the play. Byron acts the part and
pictures him as Il champion of the weak
and a gallant lover. There are four acts
to the piece. and in each the ompan of
players assume different characters, max
ing almost four little plays all in one.
Ii Byron IS popular he has business tact
enough to surround himself with a lot of
people who know their profession, and as
a result, the interest never flags. In the
company are many very clever people,
and mixed with the banging of pistols
and rifles and the sensational gloom is a
lot of genuine humor that is much Of it

Every one who will have business at the
Executive Department of the State dur
ing the coming three years will be pleased
to learn that John McMaster will receive
as a Christmas present The appointment
of Private Secretary to Governor Werts.
Mr. McMaster was born on the eastern
shore OF Maryland, and has all the
attributes of your true Southern gentle
men, When a young man he came to
New Jersey. which by the way is the
only Northern State in which a true
Southerner can feel at home, and began
the study of law at Morrlstown with
Judge Werts. When the Judge, then
Senat Werts, was chosen President of
the Senate, he made Mr.. McMaster his
Private Secretary.
The position OF Secretary to the Presi-
dent of the Senate is an important one
and requires much skill and tact to fill
successfully. Mr.. McMasfer met all the
requirements of the difficult position with
an urbanity and charm of manner which
won for him hosts of friends from the
sands of Cape May to the rocks of Sus-
sex" as Secretary of State Kelsey used to
say when on The stump.
So successfully was Mr.. McMaster in
filing the position that when Robert
Adraln, the Adonis of MiddIesex,
was elected to succeed Senator
Werts as the presiding officer of
the upper house of the Legislature he
especially requested Mr.. McMaster TO as
sist him as Secretary. John accepted
aud held the Office during the two years
of Senator Abrams occupancy of the
Chair to every ones satisfaction.
Mr.. McMaster IS at present a member
of the law firm of Dickinson, Thompson
& McMaster. He is also a prominent
member of the Palma Club and the Hud-
son Democratic Society. He will make a
worthy member of the list of popular
Private Secretaries, which includes the
names of bob" Green and Lon Abbott.

Senator Robert S. Hudspeth will re-
ceive a handsome Christmas present in
the form of a promotion. He will sue
coed Judge Lippincotr as Presiding

this as a member of Assembly, as Speake err
of the House INT as Senator. That he Is
a Democratic patriot was proved in last

Democracy-loving Democrat possesses.
He is also entitled to an elevation to the

good hearted man. but little accustomed

This circunspect gentleman has never
neglected or deserted a friend, and now
the workers Of the party are
out hustling in his interests.
They want a leader who fights a battle
upon its merits. aud they know that
County Clerk Mclaughlin is a man of
that stamp. His political battles have
always been party triumphs. That he
has earned the leadership is conceded
by all.
He served the city faithfully as an Al
derman. AS a District Assessor he won a
reputation for good judgment and honesty
that still clings to him.
AS an Assemblyman for three terms,
he covered himself with glory, and as
County Clerk ne has conducted the office

he is a sterling Democrat and enjoys
the confidence and trust of every worker
in the county. He will keep the party

Governor-elect have no doubt that he will
he able to take care of the gift. Judge
Werts has been before the public foi
many years ana NJ one has been found
who could pick a flaw in his record. His
entire career from the time he was first
elected Mayor of Morristowu down to his
occupancy of a seat on the Supreme Court
bench has been open to public inspection
and has well stood the closest scrutiny.
Many of the most important measures
upon the statute books of the State bear
evidence of his handiwork. He is the
author of the present liquor law, and the
joint committee, appointed by the Legis-
lature to prepare the Ballot Reform law,
requested him to draft the bill and the
measure which is pronounced by those
competent to judge the best Ballot Re
form law in the country is the WORK of
his hand.
Judge Werts is an afable, easily ap-
preached man. and, like the regime at
the State House during his predecessor,
no citizen will experience any difficulty
in approaching the Executive OF the State
during his incumbency of the office.

The First United States Postoflce.


In the English colonies. which after
ward became the United States, a postal
system was projected as early as 1892, but
owing to the thinness of the population
1t was not organized until ITO. By act
of parliament chief offices were estab-
lished in New York and other important
places in the colonies. In 1853 BENJAMIN
Franklin was appointed deputypostmaster
general for the colonies, ana under him
the postal system was greatly improved.
The first mail coach ran once a week
starting from each city Monday morning
and reaching its destination by Saturday
night. In 1889 the Constitution of the
United States conferred upon Congress
the exclusive control of postal matters
for all The States. The postofice depart
ment was one OF the first organized, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, from which we

Edward R. Stanton received his Christ
mas present when Governor Albeit
wisely appointed him Sheriff. He has
the best wishes of The JERSEY CITY
NEWS, for the appointment was a very
appropriate one. Sheriff Stanton's long
connection with the Prosecutors Office
has afforded him al opportunity to pos
sess himself OF knowledge such as every
Sheriff should have. His qualifications
for the Office are many, and the first of all
these Is that he is an out and out
Democrat and a faithful worker for
his party. He has been a candidate for
elective office nine times, and, as he said
himself the other day, at each election
the people gave him IN increased ma
jorltY.
The last Office he was elected to was
that of Mayor of Hoboken, and his firm
and wise administration of the municipal
affairs of that city prove him to be abun-
dainty capable of making one of the best
Sheritfs the county has ever had. Sheriff
Stanton received an excellent Christmas
present and THE JERSEY CITY NEWS is
glad of it.
