The Davis Gang and the Charter.
The Davis gang, we are told, medi-
tate pledging all Assembly candidates
in this county to a repeal of the char
ter of Jersey City. 1t Gems as if
madness had taken possession of these
men.
The attack on the charter is, of
course, a covert move against Mayor
Wanser, Reuben Simpson and the
other gentlemen who are now re-
forming the government of this city
and reducing the tav levy. We un-
derstano the Street and Water Com
missioners are to be made the osten-
sible objects of attack; but that is OBJ
viously only a blind. The real pur-
pose is to legislate Mayor Wanser out
of Office or tie his hands SO that the
Davis gang a continue to plunder.
We solemnly warn the people, es-
pecially all honest democrats. not to
be deceived upon this point.
Now we should have thought Davis
had had enough OF Wanser wing
clipping. He tried it with all his
might in the Legislature of this year,
and the reply of the people was the
election of Reuben Simpson. Let him
assail Mayor Wanser in this cam
paign, what does he think will be the
consequence to the local Democratic
ticket2
Surely this man is mad with greed
and malice.
The present charter in the hands
of honest men is as good as any tn at
can be desired. 1t provides a system
of direct responsibility. The method
of filling offices provided by it is
much modern and much better
than that which it is proposed to
substitute. The experience OF this
city. of New York, and of many other
places, shows that the method of fill
ing city commissions by popular
election is the worst of all. There is
no real exercise of popular selection.
The process degenerates into mere
| pot house politics, mere thiinble rig
ging for small local nominations. 1t
invariably results in the filling of the
offices with small, ignorant and cor
rupt men.
Under the present system, all we
have to do is to elect a good Mayor,
like Mayor Wanser, and the city's
affairs are sure to be skillfuily and
honestly managed.

BEST FOOD FOR BABIES.
Urgent Necessity at This Time of the
Year of Putting Them Upon the Safest

Urgent Necessity at This Time of the
Year of Putting Them Upon the Safest
Diet.
Take care at all times, especially now of
baby's food.
Upon the purity and Strengthening
quality of the food, andespecially upon its
fitness for a hot weather diet depends baby's
life.
When the little ones flesh is fabby blood
thin and poor, color white, and temper un-
even, If not irritable, there is an urgent
necessity for a change. 1t is time to put the
baby at once upon lactated food, which con-
tains all the essential OF a perfect diet. 1t
furnishes abundant material for rapid
growth and development.
When the mothers milk is insufficient in
quality and quantity for baby's healthy
growth, any one stops to think must know
the infant food which most closely
resembles 'mothers's milk must be used
This is undoubtedly lactated food. 1t is used
and recommended by the best physicians in
every community in the country. 1t has
received more testimonials In the past
month from happy mothers han could be
printed in a score of such columns as these,

CREW ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES.

Cause of Accident Not Known.
A rather novel accident occurred Oh the
North River at the foot of Fourteenth
street, in the early hours this moroing.
The tug Reindeer valued at $40. QUO and
owned by a Brooklyn firm sunk &C the pier
aud two OF her crew had narrow escapes
from dro wninS. The accident is peculiar
owing to the fact that no one see ms to
now just what caused iG.
ghe boat was brought TO the In dock at
the foo of Fourteenth street and moored
there preparatory to its being taken to a
dry dock. Last night the crew retired
about eleven o'clock The boat was all
right then a the crew did not suspect
what a rude awakening they would have.
About four O'Clock one of the crew Of a
vessel moored on the other side of the
pier noticed that the smoke stack of the
tug could be hardly seen across the pier.
He thought this peculiar, as the tide was
not very low. He watched the tug for q
time aud noticed that she. was gradually
settling.
In an instant he was reused to action.
He hurried across the dock and at
tempted TO board the tug for the par-
pose of awakening the slumberlng crew.
He found this to be dangerous and in-
stead Of boarding the tug he yelled
''Firel" with all his might. The dread
cry was Lot responded to for some time.
but finally one Of the crew appeared on
the deck of the tugboat, and. taking
in the situation at a glance, he reused
his sleeping companions. They all man
aged to get away from the sinking tug
Just before she went to the bottom.
They did not have time to save any OF
their effects.
This morning large crowds visited the
pier aud vazsd at the smokestack OF the
tug. An IF ,rt will ne mais to raise her
today. How the accident occurred is Il
mystery. Many believe that it was due

tanned in any drug store, makes it even
more a boon. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Soutar,
who live on Campbell street, Sandusky,
Ohio, owe their happiness to lactated food.
They write.
when our baby, Ruth, was sick there was
nothing that would stay on her stomach.
The doctor advised the use of lactated food,
and very thankful we are, for in a short
time it worked wonders. She is now a large
healthy child. Her age is one year and
four months. We are convinced that iii
had not been for the timely use of lactated
food our baby would have died. We now
have another little one that we are raising
on l~aetated food, we have such faith in it,
and we also recommend it to all our
friends
Hundreds of such testimonials have been
published. Hundreds oflittle ones in this
state owe their lives to lactated food.

bilious to preside over the Senate of

We do not know what Roberts
ambition may be; but we do know
that he will be absolutely insignifi-

run his race and killed himself. If it

Unfortunately, he. will still be a SEN

They trailed the Mexican to a sheepherder's camp, near Fishers tanks. It was dark when they reached the camp, and on reaching hailing distance they called upon the occupant to surrender. Instead of do- ing SO lie reached for his gun, and the officers opened fire upon him, when he ran away and nothing more was seen of him.
 Tuesday a Mexican came in, who stated that he was attacked while in camp and twenty shots were fired at him and he ran away and hid until morning. One shot went through the left side of his neck, making slight wound. He said he was in the employ of McMillan x Goodwin.
