When an article has been sold

When an article has been sold
for % years, and its sales have in
creased each year, in spite Of com
petition and cheap limitations, it
must have superior quality and alb
solute uniformity and purity.
Dobbins' Electric Soap has been
constantly made and sold since
1869, more each year. Can the
sale of an inferior article constant
ly increase for % years? This
soap is to-day as ever, the best,
the purest, family soap made. 1t
contains no adulteration Of any
kind, and is intrinsically the
cheapest soap made, because it

Two hours after the Supreme Court rem
dered its decision on the senatorial dispute
a number of important changes in the
laws of the State were made by the filing
of the bills that were deposited in the
Governors Office. The act of filing made
the laws, and from that moment the salary
of John P. Feeney, Chief of the State
Police, ceases This was a useless office,
created three years ago at the iustigation
of Governor Leon Albeit and the ap-
pointment given to John P Feeney, who
has done nothing whater for the $1,000
year that he drew, except get measured
for suit of clothes and have his photo
graph taken. The Electrical Subway
Commission, which pays Allan McDer-
mott, Miles Ross and George R. Gray
81 500 year, Is wiped out of existence.
The police Justices of Camden, Trenton
and Paterson were also leglslsted out OF
offices thay pay $500 year. The Coun-
ty Excise Commission act was repealed
This act was declared unconstitution al
some time ago by the courts, but the de-
cision was appealed to the Court of Err
rors. Thomas P. Curey, of Camden, who
is Secretary of the State Prison Inspectors
will have to do that work in the future
without $500 year compensation, for the
act which gives him that salary was
among the batch of bills that were made
laws. 1t is now illegal to make books or
race horses in the State of New Jersey,
for the several race-track repealers, in
Guiding Lewis bill. which revokes all
race-track licenses, have become laws.

THE recent school meeting shows that
there is considerable interest felt in our
free school system, and that the people
may at all times be relied upon when an
expression from them is desired. This
interest was not confined to Mount Holly
alone, but was noticeable throughout the
county, reports showing that there was
increased attendance in every district.

on technicalities, which he will make
known. But, as his opinion will not

well have gone with his brethren and SO
given the conclusion" absolute unanimi-

and the court might as well be.

BY IT'S decision on the Senatorial ques-
ton, the Supreme Court has upheld pro
verbal" Jersey justice and has demonstra-
ted that it is not governed in its actions
bv partisan motives. There was but one
dissenting voice-that of Ex-Governor Alb
bett, who can no more conceal his psrtl-
sanship than a leopard can change his
spots. The decision gives the highest
satisfaction to all law-abiding citizens,
who feel that the will of the people has
been given heed, and has not been set
aside at the bidding of lot of gamblers.

AMONG the probabilities is the removal
of Barney" Ford, the Democratic Super
intendent of the State House at Trenton.
Having the power to depose the gentle
man, the Republicans have very properly
determined that he must get out. In the
list of possible successors to Barney, APP
pears the name of ex-Sherif Nathan w.
c. Hays. No better selection could be
made and no man deserves recognition
more than Sheriff Hays, to whom is due
praise for the good condition of the Re-
publican party in this county to-day
Three times a candidate for Office he was
set upon and made the target of those
whose desire for personal revenge appa-
rently outweighed their party obligations
Notwithstanding his shabby treatment
Sheriff Hays never forgot his loyalty to
Republican principles, and his efforts for
the party, especially in the last cam
paign, are too well known to be repeated
here. The severe blows administered
have been disastrous to him, but the
party has benefited by them. He de-
serves and should be given recognition.

The Englishman acknowledged that he

He evidently had old fashioned notions
of literature as well as the other arts and
preferred that his tenants should be, like

to vindicate his vocation the Englishman
went to call upon him in person ON the

ly. The auction rooms have the call now
adays. There are 100 auction rooms in
New York whose wagons are continuously
busy hauling second hand furniture from
houses and flats. The people have recog-
nized that the secondhand dealers won't
pay as much for it as they are likely to
get from auction sales. Within the last
few years a certain class of persons have

ed fats and apartments. l know of one
woman who has 40 of these on her hands,

ments in this line pay her on an average
over 100 per cent.
Take, for instance, a fiat in the cheaper
ncighborhoods. An $1S or $50 a month
fat of five or six rooms can be furnished
plainly for $75-that is, you can buy sec
ondhand furniture enough for that sum
to furnish the place throughout. You pay
$lS for the rooms unfurnished and rent
them for from $25 to $2S furnished. And
when the tenant leaves and you desire to
sell you can realize almost as much at
auction as you paid. New furniture be-
comes secondhand as soon as used and
sells as such. For that reason all furnish
ed flats contain secondhand furniture,
which may have passed through the auC
