The spirit of the public school sys-
tenn has been pushed to the extreme in
New Jersey. According to State Su-
Perintendent of Schools Poland's cor.
struction of an act passed by the last
Legislature. every town or school dis
triet of that State must furnish all the
required school books free of cost to
the pupils. The Montclair Board of
Education, which finds itself confront
ed with an expense of $500 for the
coming term upon this single item, has
protested in vain against this construc-
ton of the law. While it would be a
desirable plan for each School Board to
attempt to supply its WI poor school
children with necessary books, a gener.
al mandatory law by the State compel.
ing this %unsought charity to all the pu-
pills would seem needlessly extIavagant,
if not, perhaps, unconstitutional. The
State does its duty in providing the
schools, without making a present of
school books as well.-Phila. Record.

Jewish Influence.

The possibilities Of the influence of

they succeeded in electing four of their
nationality and a fifth who is almost
reckoned as one Of them, as members
of the township Board of Trustees, so
that they will have al much, perhaps
more say in the Board, than will the
native American residents of the town

In the fall elections the Jewish vote
is usually divided between the political
parties so that they are not felt as in a

gether without being swayed by polit-
ical considerations or politicians. The
Hebrew vote in that township for trus-
tees was M hundred. Sixty of these
were from Carmel, thirty-four from
Rosenhayn, and six from Carton road.
In Deerlield township there are about
four hundred Hebrew children of school
age. In Pittsgroye township, which
adjoins Deerfield, there are e two
hundred children of school age, one
hundred and eighty.two of whom reside
in Alliance. 1t is very important these
children be educated in American ways.
In a district less than eight miles square
in these adjoining township, there are
over six hundred Hebrew school chill
dren who will grow up to perhaps con-
troll the townships in which they reside.
The number of American children does
not increase, while the Hebrews multi

People Will Talk.

We may get through the world, but twill be
very slow.
II We listen to all that is said as we go;
Wen be worrler and fretted and kept In a stew
For meddlesome tongues will have something
For people will talk.
II quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position Is only assumed;
You're a wolf in Sleeps clothing, or else you're
n fool,
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool,
For people will talk.
II generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen,
You'll hear some loud hint that you're selfish
and me an;
II upright and honest, and fair as the day,
They Il call you a rogue in a sly, sneaking way,
For people will talk.
And then If you show the least boldness Of
heart,
Dr. a slight inclination to take your W part,
They will call you an upstart, c0nceited and
vain,
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain,
For people will talk.
II threadbare your dress or old.fashioned your
hat,
Some one will surely take notice of that,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay your
way,
But don't get excited what ever they say,
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion don't think to
escape,
For they ~eriticise then in a different shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your tailOr's
unpaid,
But mind your own business, there's naught to
made,
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do, is to do as you please
For your mind, il you have one, Will then be at
ease;
OF course you will meet with all sorts OF abuse,
But don't think to stop them, II aint any use,
For people will talk.

President Cleveland in his letter to
Congressman Wilson urging a speedy
settlement of the tariff question sounds
the true slogan of democratic tariff re.
form by declaring for free wool, iron,
coal and other raw materials for manu-
featuring purposes, a revenue tariff on
sugar and against the income tax. BY
doing this he shows what the House
and Senate conference committee
should compromise on. The House
should abandon the income tax to
which the Senate objects and accept a
tariff on sugar proposed by the Senate.
The Senate should abandon the tariff
on coal and iron ore and higher duties
on necessaries of life which the House
objects to. If personal corporation in.
terest were dropped it would be an easy
matter for such able men as Mr.. Will.
son to frame a reasonable adjustment
of differences to conform to the true
idea of tariff reform.

To the Republicans Of Texas.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE STATE !
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE /

-~-Ni'N' - L = = Nc-h VI D
Fort WORTH, Tex, Oct. |, 1894.
Ever since the only Republican
Governor Texas ever had, Edmund
J. Davis, went out OF office in 1874,
the party has either been on a
standstill or gradually falling off
in strength.
The causes for this condition Of
affairs are manifold. The Negro
vote which was cast almost solidly
for Governor Davis has been steadi-
1y increasing on the Democratic
side, and this is so, notwithstand-
ing the fact that under Governor
Davis they were elected to all kinds
OF responsible positions, from that
OF constable up to the Legislature,
and therefore became a potent fac
tor in the organization Of the party
machinery.
The idea once fixed in the mind
OF the Negro that he was the all
powerful factor in the party, was
not to be lost sight OF in the gener-
eral shuttle occasioned by the ad-
vent OF the Democratic party into
power, led by Senator, then Govern
or Coke, and while still as suscep.
tible to the Establishments of the
people who were their former
masters, whom they have al
ways been taught were their
friends; and while still voting for
their friends at the polls, yet they
could not be induced to forego the
golden opportunities which came
to them by reason Of their reputed
loyalty to, and vote for, the Repub-
ican party.
AS a result Of continued inactiv-
lty on the part Of the Republican
leaders who controlled and claim
ed to represent the party, and the
utter absence Of any thing more
imam the shell of the party organ
lzatlon, called together once in two
years for the purpose of, advancing
the personal ambition of the office
holders and their following, and
then relapse into an nnorganiZed
and unreliable mass, the Repub-
lican party has fallen far below
par, commanding neither the re-
spect nor the confidence of the
people. The conventions gradual
ly became dominated by the Negro
working in the interest OF a few
office holders, until the better rIe-
ment Of the party and the business
men among the white Republicans
