Do A Cash Business.

Why don't Passaic merchants
why don't every merchant and
every business man do cash busi-
ness? You say they can't-non-
sense. Any town can educate their
trade to it in a short time and Pas
sale is especially fitted to do cash
business. The factories pay every
two weeks Everything pays every
two weeks except the railroads
and any man who can't manage to
save up two weeks wages ahead,
except in extra cases, is not worth
having a line of credit extended to
them. In the first place, the buy
ers would be better off, because
the merchant could sell on closer
margins Knowing they would
have no bad debts;Ithe wage Garner
would be taught to live within his
means and sometimes have some
ahead; and at all times know just
how he is standing. The merchant
would reap much benefit in being
able to handle his money much Of
tener, buy goods for cash and
get the best trade discounts and be
able to know any time whether he
is doing paying business or not.
Many former long credit towns
have, to our knowledge within the
last five years adopted the cash
system greatly to their advantage
and they had by no means as good
a chance as Passaic.

Says the New York Press: Four dis
tinct invasions of the frozen mysteries
of the Arctic region will be under way
this year. Lieutenant Peary will en-
deavor to map the northern coast of
Greenland and to investigate the
archipelago which lies beyond. If
conditions favor he may make ven
turesome dash on sledges across the
frozen sea toward the pole. The other
American explorer, Glider, will ex-
anime the movement of the magnetic
pole. Two avowed attempts to reach
The North Pole will be made, one by
Doctor Nausen, of Norway, who pro-
poses to drift with the ice in craft
especially designed to resist pressure
from foes, and another by Mr.. Jack
son, whose effort to cross the ice on
sledges assumes that there is no open

whole course successfully the faculty
bestowed on her the certificate of ex-

The Hospital "Summertlde "
Concerts, and Children's
Op6ra,

The Saturday night entertain
ments projected by the famous
Jerome Hopkins for the hospital
fund, are to begin this evening at
the old City Hail, fitted up as a
'1Picnic Theatre, and will be a
great attraction for our people.
The distinguished pianist who
has originated the scheme could
not be expected to give such time
and labor to our little city were It
not that for twenty-three years he
has been a neighboring taxpayer,
and he now wants to show a
solid. substantial and humanitarian
interest in Passaic in the line OF his
own profession of music.
There has never before been
known such a "school opera as
the one to be sung at these enter
tainments. 1t is unique, and we
are to have the nephew OF lord
as one of its singers, for the part
of the Cannibal will be taken by
Mr.. julius Tennyson, who IS an
accomplished artist.
The London Daily NezOs spoke
of this opera as follows
Jerome Hopkins bright little school
opera .Toffee and Old Munich, would be
admirably suited for the Theatre Royal
Back Drawing Room. 1t is indeed not
often that even old folks have listened to
anything funnier than the tragic song of
the Three chickens who went Topping,
with its burden,
For men grow hungry and women
must eat,
And tender spring chicken makes very
good meat,
When Christmas time is coming. Cluck,
cluak, cluck, etc. -
Before the Opera, Jerome Hop
kins will lecture on the " Stupid1-
ties of certain Music Teaching"
and all who are learning music
should hear him speak and play

TESTS WITH EMMENSITE.
1t is Said to be Even More Efficient
Than Melinite.

The ordnance officers of the United States
Army are making some interesting tests of
high explosives at Sandy Hook, N. j. Shells
filled with gun cotton and with emmensite
were fired from the twelve-inch mortars.
The purpose was to demonstrate that this
could be done without danger of explosion
in the gun. and the tests were convincing
upon that point.
The emmensite shell carried bursting
charge of eighty-seven pounds, and if the
further trials that will be made to find a
proper fuse are successful the Army and
Navy will have secured an explosive ever
more efficient than the famed melinite OF the
French artillery.

American people from tradition and
interest favor bi-metallism, and the
Republican party demands the
use of both gold and silver as a
standard money, with such r%estric-
tons and under such provisions to
be determined by legislation as will
secure the maintenance Of the parity
Of values of both metals; 80 that
the purchasing and debt paying
power of the dollar, whether silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times
equal"
The people expect nothing from
Democracy. A party that has pro
fessed the principles of free coin
age" for twenty years and that fell
fainting at its feet at the critical
moment, is a sel f-confessed weakling.
Such a confession is humiliating
oven to its opponents. This &C
acknowledgement of incapacity 9
that the party that has fought the
battle of protection, that saved the
Union, and that broke the shackles
from the feet of millions of slaves,
must fight the battle for the protec
ton OF silver. The principle OF
mono metallism can no more become
firmly e~ngraftod in our laws than
can the traditions and kingly Gus
toms of the old world. The great
est nation on earth-America-
would rise up in its might and de,
stroy tho most powerful were any to
attempt to dictate our form of gov
eminent, and yet we sit silently by
while one of u greatest products
is hayed to death-the tlayers in

THE WORLDS FAIR CLOSED.

The Worlds fair closed in a glow
Of triumph. Its lesson will live for
years and perhaps for ages. The
Columbian exhibition was the great
est achievement Of the nineteenth
century and the wonder Of the world.
One Of the greatest lessons taught
by this magnificent wonder is the
lesson that q mighty and powerful
city in the interior of the Union will
soon be the metropolis Of the world.
Chicago has always boon wonderful;
to-day she is wonderfully triumphant.
She is the queen city Of the western
world, and she has done what no
other city on the continent could
have accomplished. With the bit
terest foes fighting her: with the
great financial depression in her
midst; with an epidemic of cholera
threatening. and carping enemies
and predictions Of disaster from all
sides, she went on and on and on.
She looked neither to the right o
to the left Of her, but kept straight
ahead. No clouds proved too heavy
for the master hund--all were swept
away. 1t looked to all as if thirty
millions would be lost, that dismal
failure awaited the completion Of
the structure, but it did not dismay
the magic city, 1t looked as if {
vast conspiracy of disease, inancia.
disorder and belligerancy were de.
termined to thwart the work, but
Chicago was triumphant against
them all.

Mr.. Sherman has proposed that a

be issued by the government. This
il for the purpose of enabling our
own people of limited means to in
vest their small savings in a first
class security. This would prove a
very popular move and would, no
doubt, at nee draw a great deal of
money into circulation that is now
hidden away by timid people,
