A Plagiaristic Boy.

One of the boys of a Capitol hill fam
lily had been instructed by his teacher
to write an essay. A rather abstruse
subject was given him, and he had been
referred to the dictionary. His elder
brother, who was also giving sugges-
tions, had promised if the composition
was good he would write it on the type
writer The little fellow went to the
dictionary and found the word he was
looking for and under it quotation
that just suited the subject. He consid-
cred life little too short, though, to
copy the quotation, SO he hunted up his
mothers shears and in way that argues
a great deal in favor of his future jour
nalistic ability clipped through the big,
handsome dictionary and clipped wher-
ever word or phrase suited his fancy.
His brother, who rewrote the compo-
sition. discovered the plagiarism and
informed the father, and the boy now
takes his meals from the shelf Wash
ington Post.

MorristosOn Jersey0aan We have
seen no confirmation of the statement
made a few days ago that Boss Pidcock
had fallen out with Congressman Cornish
over the distribution Of federal patronage
10 this district, and proposed to see that
delegation hostile to the Congressman
is sent to the Democratic Convention
from Hunterdon County. II Is probably
not true. The relations OF Pidcock and
his creature Cornish have been SO inti-
mate, both having been stepped up to the
elbows together In the Coal Combine and
other corrupt enterprises, that 1t Is not
likely they can be severed now without
unpleasant revelations that both will be
anxious to avoid. But that there Is SER
ious trouble ahead for the Congressman
in Hunterdon is virtually admitted In
this paragraph which we quote from the
Hackettstswn Gazette, Democratic pa
per always well informed with reference
10 what is going on in the party ranks =
.'R. B. Herr, Pennington, is likely TO
be the Republican candidate for Congress
10 this District. II is said that there is q
combination OF Democratic politicians in
Hunterdon urging his nomination, and
promising their support. Mr.. Herr 10 o
lawyer of large practice, and at present
District Deputy Internal Revenue Collec.
tor under Mr.. Large. Bert Is known and
respected in every part OF the District and
his party would have in him strong can

The Democratic editors and orator

The Democratic editors and orators,
who have such great sympathy with the
" working people,, are informing them
of the great cut down in the duty on
woolens and yarns in the Sugar Trust
tariff bill just passed, but they fail to in
form these people that this cut will cause
a reduction of twenty or thirty per cent.
in the wages OF the workmen employed in
the wooden mills, and will open the gates
to the importation of great quantities OF
foreign goods, thus throwing American
workingmen out of employment
Neither do they inform these working
people that the duty imposed on sugar
takes ont of the pockets of the people
500, 900, 900, for no other purpos" than to
help the Sugar Trust-a combination OF
millonaires. Great is the sympathy of
these Democrats for the dear people.
Every time poor man buys pound of
sugar, one fifth or one sixth of the price
he pays drops into the Golfers of the sugar
monopoly.

Here are some choice quotations from
President Clevelsnd's letter to Chairman
Wilson denouncing the Senate tariff bill,
which Democrats generally, including the
President himself, would now be glad to
have the people forget =
"There is no excuse for installing or
mi,apprehending the feeling and the tenn
per of the rank and file Of Democracy.
They are downcast under the assertion
that their party fails in ability to manage
the Government, and they are apprehen-
sive that efforts to bring about tariff re-
form may fail but they are much more
downcast and apprehensive 10 their fear
that Democratic principles may be sur
rendered. ="
"Hew can we face the people after In
dulging in such outrageous discrlmina-
lions and violations OF principle 7"
''Our abandonment OF the cause or the
principles upon which we appealed to the
country seems party perfidy and party
dishonor."

"A Democratic sheet, referring to the
Sugar Trust tariff bill, says that "the
securing of free wool is great relief to
an overtaxed people," Such remarks are
calculated only for the ignorant. Through
the tariff duties TIE principal part of the
money necessary to run the Government
is obtained. II the duty is reduced on
wool and wooden goods, the amount need
ell is obtained either from increased i'm
portations OF these and other goods or
from direct taxation. The money must
come from some source. Cutting off du-
ties does not relieve people from the taxa
ton. In the case of the present tariff
law, the supposed loss by tariff reductions
is intended TO be made up by a tax on
imported sugar aud by an income tax.
Under the Sugar Trust tariff the people
will pay tax on sugar, and also on wool
by reduction of wages and loss of manu-
featuring business through foreign i'm
portalions, even if there is u reduction in
the price of wooden goods to the con-
sumner, which is not at all certain.

people seem to think that a judge
has nothing to do but sit on the bench

talk. said a judge yesterday. IF sit
ting on the bench were the burden of
our labors, we would have an easy
time. Take the long opinions that must
be written out. They are usually pre-
pared at night and require in many in
stances great deal of care and research
among lawbooks. Some opinions are
interesting; but, as rule, they are tedi-

Of work comes in, and besides the

not around, and writing after becoming

Justice Lppincott, of the New Jersey
Supreme Court, has rendered an impor-
tant decision in the Hudson County Court,
at Jersey City, to the effect that a man
born in this country is an alien il his
father was foreign born and was not ma

son. The opinion was rendered 10 the
case of Allen Benny, prominent mem
Der of the Hudson county bar. Benny,
who had been an active Republican, serv-
ed one term in the Bayonne Common
Council, and was a candidate for rc-elec-
ton at the charter election in April. His
opponent was William j. O'Brien. Ben

The criticism of some newspapers
upon the President because of his visit to
Gray Gables is not in the line of fair pc
litical warfare, neither does it show the
"mi,k of human kindness in its sweet
est development. An exhausted body has
a right to rest, even if it is that of the
President, and sick man certainly has
claims on peoples sympathy and forbcar-
ance. A little of the Golden Rule in poll
tics would be grand improvement to it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by AN iohamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is ipflamed you have a
rumblng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh. which is nothing but
~ infiamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrb

X. G. Dun & Co.'S Review Of Trade.


New YORK. July 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
When circumstances are duly weigh
ed, the strength and soundneSs OF bust
ness in this country during the past
two weeks are amazing. With the sec
ond city in the country in the hands OF
laWless and murderous mob,
besides many other cities and
towns with railway trafhc
almost entirely stopping over the vast
area between Toledo aud tho Pacific,
with the Presidents proclamations de-
claring the existence OF an inSurrection
and the passionate answer ordering half
a million men to stop work, with a pro-
longed strike OF coal miners not fully
ended in many States and with difficult
ties between the House and Senate on
the tariff question so wide that duties
affecting mining and manufactures
cannot be anticipated, industries and
trade have nevertheless gone on with
sublime confidence that the people and
their government would soon restore
order. The shrinkage OF business and
the depression Of values have been I'M
exDectedlY small, the failures relatively
few and unimportant, and there are
even signs in some industries OF actual
progress toward recovery from previous
troubles.
The output Of pig iron, which drop
ped from 10, 210 tons to 62,5l7 weekly
in May, because OF the miners strike,
had only recovered 70 $3.50 tons on
July |, and it is uncertain whether it is
larger now, for numerous Western
works have been stopped by the rail-
road blockade.
The number of failures during the
past week has been 237 in the United
States, against 354 last year, and In
Canada 40, against % last year.
