The change in National Administration
has left many desirable Federal Offices in
New Jersey for distribution among the
faithful of the Democratic party. With
the new regime of Grover Cleveland
there are new phases confronting aspi-
rants for place. The two United State
Senators from this State, for the first time,
are near to the head of the Government
Since Cleveland's former administration
the State has been redistricted and has
been arranged so that there will be six
Democratic Congressman out of eight.
There are far more positions to be filed
now than there were four years ago.
There have been a number of promi-
nent Jerseymen in Washington during
the past week, and they all agree that
Senator Mcpherson and Senator Smith
have not yet reached conclusion on just
how the appointments for the State Of
New Jersey are to be fixed up. They are.
however, reported to be on the best of
terms, and each is waiting for something
to turn up which will bring on the issue
and settle it. There are only two dis
tricts which have Republicans and the
Congressman are John J. Gardner and
Henry C. Loudenslager.
The Democratic Congressman can have
all to say about the postoffioes In their
district. but they can only be auxiliary in
the other important Offices.
Nothing can be determined in refer
ence to the Deputy Collectors until the
appointment of Collector has been made.
In the lower district, presided over by
Isaac Moffett. the force Is smaller and the
earnings considerably less. Moffett's SAL
airy is $500 He has FIVE deputies They
are George X. Mcpherson. $1,000; Caleb
C. Pancoast, 81, 200; Lucian Hires, 81 100 /;
James W. Caldwell, $l.l0O, and William
Carson, $1,10O. Theodore N. Paterson
gets $500 as clerk, and William H. Doron
and ex-Sherif Harbert are the gaugers of
the district and receive fees.
The Senate, where formerly rested w.
J. Bruce. of Burlington. and Postmaster
Allen, OF Rordentown, has no attachee
from this State. Senator Mcpherson has
made T. ]. Matthews clerk Of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs. He has been in
Washington as long as the Senator. He
originally came from Burlington county.
but he only visited his old home during
Presidential elections He 10 the sena-
tors confidential secretary.
Senator Mitchell B. Perkins, Of Burling-
ton county, who thought he had cinch
on the United States Marshalship, thinks
be is entitled now TO be considered for the
Collectorship. Senator Smith refused to
entertain him as q candidate for the
United States Marshalship, because 1t
would necessitate bis resigning, and It is
very doubtful whether Democratic Sem

TUESDAY, MARCH 90. 1893.

IT is proposed to introduce the stamp
savings system in the public schools OF
Boston. The system is under the man
agement of local society. which has a
central Office and issues stamps of six de-
nominations. Each school has treasurer
who handles the cards and stamps. The
cards are given to those pupils who buy
stamps and the stamps are pasted on
cards. AS soon as a card is filed the
money paid for the stamps is placed in a
savings bank designated by the depositor,
and new card and more stamps may be
obtained. If pupils wish to draw out
money they take the whole sum
due on a card. If this is more than
they want, they can invest the surplus in
more stamps. The plan does away en-
tirely with bank books. The system is
an ingenious substitute for the school
savings bank system now in successful
operation In many cities and towns of
New York State.

SOME MONTHS AGO, when Henry George,
the author of Progress and Poverty, !"
was acting as juror in civil case in a
New York court, Judge Freedman on
legal grounds ordered the finding of
a verdict to which Mr.. George could
not conscientiously assent. The economic
writer felt that his oath and his duty did
not require him to join in decision
which was in conflict with his own sense
of Justice. The judge held that his in
depreciation of the law was final and con-
elusive, and in the end Mr.. George was
peremptorily retired from the jury box.
Summoned in the Buchanan murder
trial the other day. Mr.. George answered
the questions of the district attorney by
saying that he had no conscientious
scruples against the infliction of capital
punishment. and was prepared to find a
verdict upon circumstantial evidence, If
it was satisfactory to bis mind. He had
not read any newspaper articles about
the case, and had neither formed or ex-
pressed an opinion as to the guilt nor in
nocence of DIR. Buchanan. He had been
practically accepted when Mr.. Nicolps
attention was drawn to the case in
Judge Freedman's court. Thereupon Mr..
George was set aside by peremptory chal-
lenge of the state.
Considering that on trial like that of
DIR. Buchanan the issue may turn upon
the Interpretation of law by Judge, that
If the latter makes any mistake counsel
are pretty sure to challenge and the
higher courts to correct it remembering
also that the whole theory and practice in
court TRIALS require a jury to accept as
final judges laying down of the law, it
can be seen how man of Mr.. Georges
spirit might hang a jury instead of decid-
ing to join in the finding of verdict to
execute or release prisoner.
But for all that, in a case promising to
involve 30 much time and to require SO
much study and intelligent care, it seems
an unfortunate thing that man of con-
spicuous ability and Of undoubted integ-
rity and courage should be rejected, be-
cause once when acting as juryman he
refused to believe that it was his duty to
follow judges Interpretation of the law,
to that extent which in his own con-
science would have made him a partaker
in the doing of injustice. Neacs.

Passed to the Higher Life

Mrs. Mary Tucker, widow of the late lanes
Tucker, died at the family homestead, Twin
Lakes, Saturday, July 8th 1898, aged 81 years.
The immediate cause of her death was malaria
and nervous prostration, although she had been
in declining health for several weeks preceding
her final sickness. Her funeral was held
Monday at p. m. from the house, Rev. Jones,
of the Kent Congregational Church, of which
she was member, officiating. The remains
were taken to Standing Rock, Cemetery, Kent,
for interment.
In early life Mrs. Tucker lost her parents.
and with sister, now deceased, was reared TO
womanhood in the family of Rev. Hutchinson,
Findlay, o.
In January, 1870. she married James Tucker
who died April 9Th, 1893, just three months
preceding her own demise. She is survived by
son, an only child, Morris, aged II years, and
two brothers, John F. Armstrong, of Los An
geles, Cal, and w. D. Armstrong, of this city.
Mrs. Tucker was woman who attended to
all the duties of her mortal life with patience
and fidelity, and impaired to her character the
sweet attributes of spiritual womanhood. Her
life was a daily advance toward the perfect
standard of her Master and she needed no
other preparation for the Heaven of her faith.
Her constant industry, unselfsh devotion to
others, and refnements of her pious living,
endeared her to all.

Mrs. E, B. Babcock died at her home in this
city, Friday, July 9TH, 1893, of cancer of the
stomach. after distressing illness of nearly
three years duration. Her funeral was held
Monday at o'clock p. m, from the home on
North Chestnut Street, Ravenna, o. A. Richards
| officiating. The remains were placed in Maple
Grove vault for interment.
Amelia B. Crane was born December 25th,
1876, at Canton, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. In
1910, twenty years after the landing of the Pill
grim Fathers, the family of Cranes from whom
she was descended. came from England and
settled in Vermont, which is therefore the parent
State of the succeeding generations. About
1926 many families of the Cranes came to Ohio
and settled in Portage County, which today
numbers among its most useful citizens many
of their descendants.
Asa Crane located in Shalersville shortly be-
fore 1890, with his wife and eight children-of
whom Amelia was the youngest-settling on the
farm owned by Edwin B. Babcock for nearly As
years. From 1882 to 1886 Amelia taught school
in Ravenna, Streetsboro, Shalersville, and the
country around Garrettsville, in which latter
place, after many years of successful teaching,
she terminated her labors in the school room.
She was well educated and an excellent teacher,
whose efficiency will be well remembered by
many readers of this brief sketch of her life.
She was married to Edwin B. Babcock, at
Shalersville, in 1916, who had been left a wild
over, with four sons and two daughters, all un-
der IL years of age. These children were all
reared by Mrs. Babcock. She became the
,a0f1or 0f oIi1 n of
Ravenna, and w. A. Babcock, an attorney in
Cleveland-both of whom are left to mourn her
loss.
She lived in Shalersville on the farm south of
the Center, until a few years ago, when with
her husband she moved into the Ravenna home
where she died.
She was woman of great industry, with a
constitution that sustained her with wonderful
energy and vitality in the performance of the
almost endless labors that confront the wives of
dairy farmers day by day, as well as through
the dread ailment which finally closed her eyes
in eternal sleep.
She was a member of the Christian Church
all her life, and her home was for many years
the stopping place of the early preachers of that
Her spirituality was deep enough to illumine
her character with the beauty of her Christian
faith, and her religion was Divine enough to
open her heart to the suffering wherever she
found them. She was practical in her Christian
works, among which none were more blessed
or enduring than her kind offices in nursing at
the bedside of the sick. She lived her days in
the faithful use of her talents and in the dis
charge of. the duties of the hour.
She was borne to rest by the children she had
brought up and her grandson, E. G. Babcock
upon whom she had relied in her declining
years.
