John Kean, Jr., made a magnificent run
10 Newark and throughout Essex County.
If he had been as well supported all over
the State he would have been elected Gov
ernor by big plurality.
This is the home and the stronghold of
one of the most powerful and autocratic
of the State bosses. He has been having
everything his own way here but last
Tuesdays Gubernatorial vote will give
him aud his associates cause for reflection.
The majority Of the voters of Essex
County are in favor of local self govern
ment and home rule, and Democrats
they show themselves to be on National
Issues-are opposed to such abuses as
have been perpetrated by the Democratic
Governor and Legislature of New Jersey.
II Cleveland, an especially strong cand-
idate in Essex County, had not been run
ming at the head of the Democratic ticket,
Judge Werts would have fallen hundreds,
prehaps thousands, of votes below the
poor showing that be actually made. AS
1t is, the fact that Cleveland carries the
county by 1,12l votes, while Kean carries
1t by plurality even greater, shows that
great many Democratic voters OF Essex
reverence the principles rather than the per
verted name Of Democracy, and are ready
to rebuke usurpation and scandalous prosti-
tuition Of power practised by the State
bosses. --NeOark Evening Neros.

Tho average human being gets about
one-tourth az much air into his lungs as
he needs certainly not more than that.

the air her lungs would hold, breathing
only through the nose. In twelve hours

done In month her eye had sparkle ;
her face had begun to lose its parchment
color. She had the grit to continue the
same deep slow breathing, and that was
the end Of her consumption.
II is laziness that prevents us from get

your lungs as full as they can hold with
air at each inspiration letting the resulting
contaminated air slowly and gently out

An Old Rosebush.

AS long ago as the year 822 Hides
helm is mentioned in history. In that
year we are told Louis the Pious, Char
lemagne's son and successor, made it
the seat of the bishopric intended by his
father to be established at the neighbor-
ing town of Elze. Less than o century
before Charlemagne had brought the
heather Saxons into subsection and
Christianity was yet new in the land.
Gunther, the first bishop, had been can
on at the cathedral at Reims. Three
years after his elevation to the new
episcopal see he consecrated the first
chapel, naming it in honor of the Virgin
Mary. The chapel is supposed to have
occupied the site under the present
cathedral, where the crypt Of the new
church Is built.
A pretty rosebush that now clings to
the outer wall of the cathedral choir is
said by tradition to have grown there
since the days of Louis the Pious him
self. In the Twelfth century, when the
choir and crypt were being enlarged, a
protecting hollow wall was built around
the rosebush, in order that the vine
might continue to grow about the build.
ing when the new wall had been com
pleted. A bit of the old arching may be
seen behind the altar in the crypt. This
is the present voucher for the great age
of the rosebush, and it must be admitted
that many traditions repose upon less
solid tion.--Architectural Record.
