Elizabeth has about two hundred sa-
looms within its limits, each paying IL
cense fee of $3.50, netting the City about
$50, 900 annually, and the Journal sug.
gesls that great improvement might be
made ii the Legislature enacted law tax
ing each saloon 81, 900 in cities of 40, 900
and over. This, it believes, would reduce
the saloons one half, while doubling the
revenue therefrom. And besides the e.
nancial advantages resulting from the
change, ''under such tax there would
be no need of an excise board, no need
of licensing body of any kind, no need
OF signers to applications and perjured
certificates of property rights, no need OF
cutting up single lots into strips two feet
wide and deciding these strips to STRIPPING
youths Tor the purpose of getting their
signatures as property owners. All these
devices and deceptions would be neces-
sary, for the intending liquor seller would
simply pay $1,000 and open his place of
business" And it adds, what has long
been the judgment of other observers who
have been unable to regard prohibition as
practicable or possible means of destroy
ing the evils OF intemperanee and are yet
anxious TO do something in that direction,
that 1.-THE more this system of high tax
rate is studied, the more advantageous
appear its possibilities. 1t is by no means
specific for all the evils of the liquor
business. There is no such specific. But
it certainly seems to possess features
which commend it as incomparably better
than the corrupt and inadequate system
now in use"

When Remus, Saul and Caesar, with
Dinah, Phillis and Chloe, made the cir
cult of the quarters at Christmastide
they were RECALLED with various succu-
lent viands-chine and sparerib, sau-
sage and cracking, savory souvenirs OF
the fine art of hog killing, besides coon
and corn pone, possum fat and hominy,
all consecrated to their comfort and
cheer, with lusty drafts of cider. Gin
gerbread and boiled chestnuts were dis
pensed to the dusky company, and there
were much cracking Of walnuts and
roasting Of apples Then the cabin floor
was cleared for the dance-jig and
breakdown, pigeon wing and juba, the
latter a characteristic survival of the
aboriginal barbarism, delivered with
vigorous shouts and cries and shutting
of feet to a rhythmic accompaniment of
handclapping and patting of knees, in
melodious Difference to the jigging of a
fiddle by the light Of flaming pine knots.

The official call for the Republican Ma
tional Convention, to be held at st. Louis
on June 10th, has been issued. Each
State will be entitled to four delegates at
large and two for each Congressional Dis.
trict, with two delegates for each Con-
gresham -atlarge; and each Territory
and the District of Columbia will have
two delegates. The manner In which
they shall be chosen is prescribed, in
order to avoid any controversies with re.
ference to that matter. The entire Con-
vention will be composed of 906 dele
gates, and New Jerseys representation
will be twenty-four at large and sixteen
district delegates.
With reference to the Presidential pre-
ferences of the members of the National
Committee, as developed at their recent
meeting, it is stated that Mckinley was in
the lead, and he was reported TO have
more positive strength and better organ
lied following than any other candidate.

The British lion shouldn't take too
deeply at heart the fact that the American
Government is inclined to bear hand in
locating the true boundary line between
England and Venezuela, for that country
has so far been unable to settle the oues-
tion satisfactorily to itself even, and it
should welcome the service of an intelli-
gent commission to the case.
Up to the year 1910 Great Britain was
satisfied with that territory lying east of
the Morocco river, but in the latter part of
that year she evidently got the idea that
she ought to have more OF the land. 80
she extended the boundary lines westward
and southwark so far as the mouth of the
Bo'ima river, where she fixed the
"Schomburgk line. p"
This boundary satisfied her about four
years, when she disclaimed the "Schom-
burgk line" ordered it obilerated, and
proposed what was known as 'the Aber-
deem line, " beginning near the mouth of
the Mexico river and running straight
west After awhile she got tired of that
boundary, and in 1881 drew new one
that started twenty-nine miles west of the
Morocco river. This was known as eL,ord
Granvlle's line" Five years afterwards
new line was drawn, still further west,
and in 1890 she got notion that that line
wasn't right and fixed another one which
was known as "the Salisbury line.n II
began at the mouth of the Omacura river
and was so drawn as to control the main
outlet of the Orinoco river.
The amusement of line shifting was
tempting, and in 1898 a new boundary
was proposed, to run from the southwest
of the Amacura river in such a direction
as to include the headwaters of the Cum.
ano river and the Sierra of Usupama.
While this shifting about has been 60
ing on, Eugland's claim has been that she
was endeavoriug to find out where her
boundary lines really ought to be. 1t
would seem that country so far at sea
and as helpless as Great Britain appears
TO be in this instance, would hail with de.
light proposition TO get in safely ashore.
1t is clear that England doesn't know
just how much of Venezuela she has a
right to control, aud in that case it is, OF
course, right for rational party 10 step
in and help her out OF the fog. She may
not see it in that light now, but she will
later on, no doubt.

4 Significant Departure.

With the departure Of another year
when a review is made of the condit-
ion Of affairs, il is only right that
some thought be given TO the physical
body which enables everyone to bat
tie with life's problem and figure for
themselves the profit or loss on the
trial balance sheet. Though the bank
account may be large and each ones
material gain be great, it would not
be surprising if it suddenly dawns
upon many that good health mas been
greatly Impoverished by the low
condition or the blood. 1t is in this
state that the Tactic acid in the vital
fluid attacks the ferrous tissues, par
the joints, making known
the local manifestations of rheuma-
tism. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla the
great blood purifier, a positive and
permanent cure for rheumatism.

STAMPED OUT.
New York independent on Epi-
dcmic in Honolulu.

When the phrase stamped out" IS
used in regard 20 the late epidemic in
the Sandwich islands it means exactly
that-the words are so hackneyed that
they DO not convey an image to Us Of
man setting his foot on blazing
match or other com bustible, but ener-
getic action, directed by intelligence,
has caused the cessation Of pesJilence
that for few days was most threaten
ing. News comes from Honolulu,
dated October 18th, via san Francisco
October 2ith, that twenty-nine days
had elapsed since the cholera epidemic
ended, and fifteen since the last one of
three later, scattering cases. Early
action and the willing vigilance OF a
community which realized the value
of sanitary law enforced is the secret.
Most of the restrictions are removed,
the children are free 10 attend school,
but bathing and fishing in the harbOr
and in the Nuuanu stream are still
prohibited. The epidemic has cost
the Government $50, 600, including a
disinfecting plant yet 70 arrive,
which will, no doubt, be dill
gently used, for it will be long
before ships arriving from Japan
and China will be free from
but that small country has
been a splendid object lesson TO the
whole world.-N. i. Independence.

Valuable and Pretty Prizes to be
Shown Down Town.

it be that they can not get in by
Saturday, Monday and Tuesday
viii be days set apart for next
week. The present plan while a
very good thing in many ways,
has its defects. 1t might have
been commenced earlier and the
date for handing in the compost
tons named at the beginning.
The prizes are really very valu-
able and pretty. After the close
OF the exhibition the prizes are TO
be placed in some window down
town. On account of the schools
closing so early, some Of the COM
positions Will be written after vaca-
ton. This IS a very earnest and
beneficial enterprise, and it is
hoped pupils will attend all exhibit
tions OF the League IN the future.
