To THE EDITOR my name and

of my professional brethren are won.
dering at it, feel it only just that l
should make an explanation. Tho
st A,ement published over my Dame
was made ten years ago, after long
and mature investigation, and l have
never changed my mind Is to the facts
then stated. At that time l said, as
physician, that | believed Warmers

advocated to cure, AND SAY so STILL.
know it is considered tho proper
thing for the medical profession to
decry proprietary and other adver.
tised articles; but why should they do
SO? As the late DR.. J. G. Holland,
writing over his own name in Serb.
ner's Monthly, said:
alt is fact that many Of the best
proprietary medicines Of the day are
more successful than many physicians,
and most OF them were first discovered
or used in actual medical practice:
when, however, any person knowing
their virtue and fore-eeing their popu.
larity secures and advertises them, in
tic opinion of the bigoted oil virtue
went out of them"
DR.. Holland was an educated ply
stefan, an appropriated observer, and
he spoke from broad and unusual
experience. Proprietary medicines
should not be decried. The evidences
Of their value are overwhelming. l

The mining region Of East Ten

of the State. To the man of money
and the man of muscle it offers a
hopeful outlook. This mountain re-
gion is noted for the independency of
its people. From Sewers time down.
ward, they have been proud that slav.
cry could not live among them. These
convict stockades, born of the lease
system, have been a growing menace
to gainful occupations, aud an offense
to the natural sense of right. The as
ISOLATION Of free and convict labor is
in every way unnatural. The free
miner may live in . cabin, but be is
as free as the winds that blow through
It. Freedom loves freedom. His
bread lies at the bottom Of the mine.
Tho faces of his rosy mountain ch,l-
diem he does not see much of except
by lamplight. yet all day his occupa>
ton oompels him to toll with the con-
vict, face to face, for companion. At
nightfall, when he comes to the upper
region, his days work is weighed up
in convict lease scales, by convict
guards, and rated by convict wages.
All the surroundings are most repul-
sive; armed guards everywhere; the
clank of chains; tho zebra clothes !;
the foul, mouth language of crime !;
whiPpings, tortures, and shootings,
such as can hardly be described, Eli
the air.
IL it possible, is it probable even ,
that the man who deposits his free
ballot to make the laws of his country,
elects Governor and Legislature,
who shoulders his musket when that
country calls to arms; is it likely that
he will submit long to this order OF
things? Put yourself in his place be-
fore you answer; would you do il:
Bread he must have; his occupation is
mining. There is no place to fall
back to, and the thing that runs
him out here, the convict and lease,
can follow him through ten
Southern and two Northern States
He reasons the matter over. He
was here first; he is not to be blame d
for having heen born in the mountain.
Somebody's management has broueh,
this about. The convict is not te
blame; the clanking of his iron,
fettered feet tell him that. Who i.
behind the convict? The "lease. y
And who made the lease? The State
Is he himself not par. of the State
Then he can unmake it. Il is RICH,
to do 1t; SO the hot feeling OF ind,gna q.

OF one free man to that of another
One little wrong after another keep.
bu'l'iing tho feeling stronger and the
fever OF discomfort rises hi cher. Gov.

WORK OF THE SENATE.
A MedicO- Military Wrangle-BrOwn
Place Done For-Kenny for
Lay Judge.
Special to the Jerseu Citu Ne,us.

TRENTON, March /, 1S92-There was a
lively discussion in the Senat last even
ing over Mr.. Heaney's bill establishing a
Medical Department in the State Militia
under the direction OF the Surgcon-Gen-
eral. Mr.. Hudspeth spoke for the bill.
He claimed that the new department was
needed and desired by many of the men,
bers of the National Guard. He quoted
from Il report of the Acknowledgement,
which bore out his statement. Senator
Cranner, who was on the staff of a South
Jersey regiment claimed nat the act
would simply disorganize the National
Guard and that the measure was opposed
by the State Military Board.
Senate Gardner was simply abusive in
opposing the bill. He said that it was
the ambition Of one man to use the Leg
stature as a whip cracker-whatever
that might be.
The bill passed by a vote OF 10 to z.
Drs. Edge and Phillips don't cure ali dis
eases. but they are confident that they
are the mascots that put the bill through.
THIS Is BROWN PLACE.
Mr.. Hudspeth succeeded in getting
through his bill. which provides that in
any city not already authorized to vacate
any part Of u street. the City Council,
Board of Aldermen. or other like leglsln-
tive body, is authorized, with the approval
of the Mayor and by resolution, to vacate
a part in width or otherwise, of any
street, whenever the SAID Council, Board
of Aldermen, or other like legislative
body shall deem such part unnecessary
for the public, and such vacation for the
best interest of the city; provided, the
owner or wner to whom the part to be
vacated will revert, assent thereto. This
bill seems to be Intended to dispose of the
Brown place controversy.
BENEFITS N DAMAGES.
Another bill passed was Mr.. Hardin's
measure providing for a new Assessment
Commission for Jersey City. The bill en-
acts, That in the cities of the first class
all assessments OF damages and benefits
for local improvements shall be fixed by
Commissioners who shall be fre~eholders
aud resident in the city. They are to be
appointed by the Mayor to hold office for
three years. The salary is 81, 900 a year..
1t is to be the duty of the Boards to fix all
assessments for damages and benefits
caused by any local improvement, ana
the Commissioners are to be governed in
making such assessments by the laws
now or hereafter in force relating to and
regulating the making of assessments for
local improvements.
KENNY FOR LAY UDGE.
In executive session the Governor sent
to the Senate the name OF Finance Com
missioner John Kenny to be lay judge of
Hudson, and Robert O'Hara of Phillips
burg to be inspector Of mines undo. the

opportunity for expanding his lungs and
testing the capacity Of his voice. He car
ried n small library with him n there
was a look of anxiety III the faces of the
Senators as they thought of the possi-
bilities. But Joseph noticed nothing.
He laid his books down on u desk and I'M
furled a map Of the watersheds in aud
around the Pequannock Valley. he
tackled the map Oh a stand buiIt like II
blackboard and there he was again pack
in the schoolhouse from which he was
dragged to boss the people of Newark as
Mayor. With a smile Us broad ana ven

was about to tell. the ruler of Newark
prepared for O nights work.
Two or three yards from him stood Mr..
l.. b. Ward Watching the proceedings
with a cynical smile.
Toss for corners" said Senator Bar
rett.
This suggestion that the exhibition was
to be in the nature OF "a sparring match or
circus seemed to strike the spectators as
amusing. and there was Il broad grin on
most of the faces. Joseph was serious,
however. He began by reading an essay
on The history of Newark. It's growth,
population, manufactures and other facts
usually found in boom circulars advertis-
ing young towns. were recited with as
much fervor and dramatic force as the
average commencement orator puts into
his defamation. Joseph talked aud ex-
torted, and extorted u talked; then he
took turns at ~denouncing aud arguing.
He styled the proposals set forth In Sena-
tor H~udspeth's bill as legalized robbery
and poured forth lamentations that he
should have, year after year, TO leave
Newark to take care of herself for a few
hours SO that he might come here to help
the lawmakers aloug and prevent them
passing measures such as this. On and
on and OF went the flow of words. and
yet Joseph seemed TO tire not. He was
really just warming to his work when
Senator Barrett called attention to the
fact that the Senate was about to meet.
He said the hearing would be continued
after adjournment. When hat time
came even he could not face the ordeal so
soon again, and he put 1t off until today
in the hope that Joseph might go home.
Perhaps so, but there is u lingering fear
that he may return aud take up the
thread of his beautiful story where he let
90 last night. He had scarcely flushed
one chapter, and there are fourteen
others.

We also desire to return our thanks tor
the kind words which have been said of

tracts from letters, picked at random from
a pile, are a fair sample of what others
contain:
One mother writes: "Your medicine
saved my boys life. My prayers are with
you constantly, and | bless God that
ever learned of Warmers Safe Cure"
Another person, whose father was
snatched from the grave when on its very
brink, exclaims: "The happiness OF this
family is in your Keeping, and we shall
never cease to remember you in our
prayers aud good Wishes"
Says another: I'VE are the more CRATE

Another one writes: my fortune may

TRENTON, March /. 1S92:-A nervous
chill went down the spine of many a good
citizen in the crowded Assembly Chamber
last night when Mr.. Hardin introduced a
very suspicious bill. 1t provided for a
tax on almost every conceivable kind of
corporation in the State. The good citi-
zens stood aghast. Could it be that the
Chesterfieldian speaker had Joined the
strikersl But their agitation was of short
duration. 1t did not take long, however,
10 tind out that there was not Il strike in
the measure. IL has introduced at the
iustigation of the State Board of Assess

tying and clearing of slight errors and

Freebolders had jurisdiction. July l,

Jurisdiction to cease, and January l, 1892.
