An easy naturalness marks
the early Dress Goods trade.
A success that is succeeding
abundantly. Every business
day this year our sales of Cot
ton Dress Goods show gains
over last year, and that was a
season beyond precedent.
People are learning more than
ever the wisdom OF early choic-
es. How care is reduced if the
Summer Dressmaking is finish
ed in the early SPRING.
What an advantage to see the
fresh thought of new season
earlyl This is so sensible that
it is only necessary for us to
furnish the early supply to Gre
ate the early demand. Contra
diets all tradition. But this is
an age of surprises.

Gov. HoGG, Of Texas, has spoken Sc
yerely on the recent lynching that tool
place in that state. He says:
While the victim of that affair wal
guilty of an atrocious, barbarous crime
appalling to contemplate. for which BIZ
was certain OF full punishment under the
constitution and laws of our state, civil
zatlon stands helpless witness to the
most revolving execution of the age, in
which large numbers of citizens openly
in broad day, publicly became murderers
by methods shameful to humanity.
Brushing away all sentiment, which
should never accompany punishment fol
crime, the crime committed at Paris is 9
disgrace to this state. Its atrocity, inhu
manity and sickening effect on the people
at large cannot be obscured by reference
to the savage act of the cuiprit himself in
brutally taking the life of an innocent
child.
For bis deed the death penalty awaited
him under the laws. The impufation

To contend that his executioners, who
pnrposely murdered him, can neither be
indicted nor tried in the county where
that crime was committed is pretense
and mockery.

murder 100 men who publicly commit
murder cannot be. The laws therefore,

The contest over the State Senator'S
seat from Atlantic county is not yet fin
ished unless Allan McDermott shall waive
his right to finish his argument in behalf
of Riddles, the Democratic contestant. The
case has, apparently, suddenly collapsed
Hoffmans counsel has shown more and
greater Irregularities against Riddle than
the latter could find to support his case.
Allan L. McDermott admits that two
hundred Republican ballots that bore
Riddle pastors were marked Should they
be thrown out Hoffman's plurality would
be increased to about 265. Democratic
Senators have openly expressed them
selves against the attempt made to induce
them to vote to unseat Hoffman in order
to avenge the unseating of Mcdonald,
three years ago, and while it is not pos
sible to say that Hoffman will not be un-
seated, there is reason to believe that be
will remain.

some shape, and the work viii either be
done under the law as it now exists, or as

Committee on Revision of Laws will sit
at Trenton to-day to hear argument pro and

The State Gazette, in commenting on roads,
has this very good suggestion, which will
apply to this section: Nor should the
State appropriation be grabbed and used
for the promotion of selfish purposes.
That might easily be done by the manip-
ulation of the Board of Freeholders by a
few self-interested men. The roads to be
improved should be those of strictly
public characterize great county roads
that extend from the capital through large
and populous sections of the county.
These should be the first ones to improve,

atively but little used"

HOUSE BILL No. 1876 is meeting with a
great deal of opposition throughout the
state. 1t provides for the establishment
of State Bureau of Agriculture, and
should it become law some hungry Dem
ocratic politician will secure fat berth.
There are many reasons why this bill
should not be allowed to become law
There is no reason why new bureaus
should be created merely to supply places
for politicians whose chief aim is to fitch
money from the public treasury. There
has been too much of this work already
The proposed law takes from the farmers
the right to elect officers of the State
Board of Agriculture, and makes that body
the subject of political strife, which is de-
cidedly obnoxious. The establishment
of a Bureau of Agriculture means an an
nual expense of from $3.50 to $4,000
and would reduce, if it did not totally de-
stroy, the efficiency of the State Board
The bill should be defeated.
