A dispatch from Washington says
that there is no question but that the Sc.
lection OF MI. Butcher as Internal Rev.
enue Collector for the Camden district
has given the treasury officials eonsid-
cradle anxiety, especially in view of the
comment which some of Mr.. Butchers
actions have caused. The commission
er is in daily receipt of letters relating
to the matter, and they are of such q
character as to command attention
coming, as they do, from men who have
no axes to grind but are only concern
ed for the best interest OF the Demo-
cratic party. 1t can be stated on the
highest authority that an official in
vestigation of Mr.. Butchers office and
of his acts is not at all unlikely. 1t
will not he done if it can be avoided,
for the inquiry would only add to the
comment which is now so current.
There is nothing that the Treasury De.
partment can do in the matter except
to hope that the appointment will turn
out for the best. One thing can be
done. A repetition of a similar mis-.
take car and will be avoided in the flu.
ture. Senators Mcpherson and Smith
have both had interviews with the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
relative to the affairs of Mr.. Butcher.

Mr.. J. p. Blaze, an extensive real estate
dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, narrowly es
capped one of the severest attacks of pneu-
mOnia while in the northern part of that
state during a recent blizzard, says the Sat-
Hrddy Reriec. Mr.. Blaize had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm and
was so thoroughly chilled that he vas un-
able to get warm, and inside of an hour af-
ter his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung fever. Mr..
Blaze sent to the nearest drug store and
got a bottle oi.Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy, of which he had often heard, and took
a number of large doses. He says the effect
was wonderful and in a short time he was
breathing quite easily. He kept on taking
the medicine and the next day was able to
come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaze regards
his cure as simply wonderful. For sale by

The LEGISLATORS, Plans.

lut lEtkhshkANOhS y hNhAo
A Trenton correspondent to the
NORTH American has the following to
say about the next Legislature:
In less than four weeks the Legisla-
ture will convene, and the session prom
ises to be q memorable me-. With a
majority of only one in the Senate, the
Republicans will have to stick closely
to business. The people of the State
are looking a~uxiously to their Legisla.
ture to relieve them Of the partisan laws
passed by the gambler Assembly and
Senate, and q restoration of home rule,
which right has been boldly wrested
from them.
The opening of the Legislature will
lie attended by a demonstration of the
leading Republican organizations of the
State. The Newark and Paterson In
dams are coming down with gorgeous
badges and lots of music. The Maui
rice Rogers Association of Camden will
come up with the Sixth Regiment Band
and high hats and canes. They will he
augmented with Republicans from all
parts of South Jersey. Jersey City will
send down one of its clubs, and all these
organizations Will combine and make a
street parade. The clubs are expected
to arrive on Monday afternoon and re-
main over until Tuesday night. The
indications are that there will be a ire
mendous crush Of people in Trenton to
see the Republican Legislature started.
Committees of shrewd lawyers are at
work in Essex, Hudson, Mercer and
Union counties reviewing the legisla-
| ton of the past three Democratic Leg
| islatures in order to decide what re-
| Dealers to advocate, and have many OF
them ready for introduction early in
the session. In addition there is q com
! mittee employed by the Republican
State Committee making an ex-
animation as to the general party legis-
lation to be recommended. Reports
| are expected from ali these committees
By New Years.
John Y. Foster. of Newark. who is
the secretary of the Republican State
Committee, has ISSUED an address sign
ed by other prominent Republicans, adj
vocatlng tie prompt repeal of the Race,
| track laws, and the adoption OF legisla'
ton that will stop gambling, even if
racing is entirely prohibited; the repeal
of the county excise laS and the re-en-
| actment of the Local Option law, with
a provision for a $500 license fee in cit
les Of less than 1900 population and
! not less than $1,000 in ether cities, with
further provisions that saloons must be
closed between II p. NJ. and 5 a. NJ.
aud from II P. NJ. Saturdays 10 ) A.
". Mondays.
Some of these recommendations were
met with general approval. but it is
doubtful whether the Republican Leg
islatuTe will Ie.enact the Local Option
law Of 1883, after their experience Of
/ the iugratitude of the Prohibitionists,
who defeated Eugene Finley for Sena-
tor in Passaic county, gave the Demo
Gratis control of the Senate in 1889, and
made possible the repeal Of the Local
| Option law. Ard Senator Philip 2.
Baker, elected by Prohibition and
Democratic votes in Cumberland coun'
ty, gave the deciding vote for repeal in
the Senate.

The Philadelphia Ledger explains
that while 1t is opposed to the Wilson
bill, and while it is unwilling to ap-
pear to confirm, by silence, any impres,
sion that it is the ''orgsn" Of the ad-
ministration, it "has always believed
that no more public spirited, purer
American has ever occupied the Presi-
Dental office than Grover Cleveland"
and that ''this faith and belief it enter
talns to-day as strongly as it has ever
done, for the obvious reason that it has
had no cause for rejecting the smallest
measure of it." Even though the
President should approve the Wilson
bill ''the Ledger will not, therefore, as.
sumo that he is ~insincere, or that he
lacks devotion to the well. being of the
people. We shall believe, continues the
Ledger that his judgment, not his
public spirit nor his high integrity, is
at fault. This great economic question
is one with regard to which the Ledger
recognizes there may be honest differ.

cannot assume that all those who do
not think as We do about it are less
sincere, less earnest for the public good
than We are, as the respect which we
ask for the sincerity of our views we
cheerfully give to the opinions of those
who disagree with u.s." This is the at.
titude of an honorable champion of the

Ed Sears' Team Gallops Through tho
Strsets-Lives Endangered.

In local weekly paper recently was tho
following item; IA curious sight to people
In this vicinity can be seen frequently at
w. II. Clark's boarding stable. Ed Sears
of Hinesburgh drives pair Of bay horses,
and when In this city always puts them in
Mr. Clark's barn for dinner. They occupy
the first two stallp ON the left, next to the
water tub, and are never hitched while feod-
ing. After each mouthful of grain they back
out of their stalls and, going to the tub,
take sip of water, returning Immediately
to their grain.
"curious' but somewhat different
"sight" could have been seen Saturday.
These horses backed out of their stalls, got
a sip Of water, but instead Of returning to
their stalls galioped out of Mr.. Clark 8
yard. Seeing them coming, people ran to
stop them, which frightened the high-spir-
tied steeds and they went down st. Paul
street. and across City Hall Park at a
terrific pace.
The scared horses had no use for any
signs, keep off the Grass" one
of which one OF them knocked
to the sidewalk, bringing up with a crash
against the lattice work under the piazza OF
the American House.
Meanwhile the bride, which hung over
ono hame, hsd got off and was dangling
about his hind feet. Bounding up again,
the horse went through the park on the con-
crete walk being laid, up College street and
into City Clerk Aliens yard, where be was
caught by Mr.. Allen.
The other horse ran across the park nearer
its CENTRE landing in the stairway next to
Bailey's music rooms, where he was caught.
Three women, one Of whom had small
child with her, barely escaped being run
over by the frightened beasts. The escape
of the lady with child was very narrow.
The child was walking and in the lady's at
tempt to pick the infant up she fell for
ward, which saved her. Moral-alway,

but the officer was not satisfied and he drove
out to the camp in the evening. All said,

OF the two young men. Everything was
satisfactorily explained and no blame at
Tackled to the officer fer his mistake.
