LATE NEWS.

Not since 1.-THE Anglomaniacs" has
there been so clever a society satire as
Henry Fuller's "Pilgrim Sons" which
is published in the August CosMoPoLI-
TAN. The problems involved in WON.
ans use of the bicycle are 80 startling
and so numerous. under the rapid evolu-
tion of this art, that one welcomes a
careful discussion of the subject by SO
trained a mind and so clever a writer as
Mrs. Reginald de Koven. THE CosMo-
poLIrAN illustrates Mrs. de Koven's
article with a series of poses by profess
sionai models. A new sport, more
thrilling than any known to Nimrod,
more dangerous than was ever expert
enced by even a Buffalo Bill, is exploit
ed in the same issue in an article on
"Photographing Big Game in the
Rocky Mountains" before shooting.
The idea that ten cents for THE Cos.
MoPoLITAN means inferioIity from a
literary point of view is dispelled by
the appearance in this number of such
writers as Sir Lewis Morris, Sir Edwin
Arnold. Edgar Fawcett, Tabb, W.
Clark Russell, Lang, Sarcey, Zangwill,
Agnes Repplier, etc. Nor can we en-
tertain the idea of inferiority in illus.
tration with such names as Hamilton
Gibson, Denman, Van Schaiek, Lix,
Sandman, etc., figuring as the chief ar
lists of a single months issue.

The political situation as gathered
from the rumors published BY the news
papers, still shows the Republicans anx-
ious about the half dozen Gubernator.
ial booms which aspiring statesmen
have launched upon the political high
seas, and are expectantly watching.
Griggs is pushing his canvas, and try.
ing to make himself solid with both
wings of the party. The hope is enter
tanned that he may be able to hold the
goody. goody Republicans because he
voted for the high license local option
bill in 1888, and also capture his share
of the rum end of the party on thescore
of bis having repudiated local option.
Senator Voorhees, boom is not gath
ering force, and all serious considera.
ton that he will get the nomination,
has ceased.
The machine is for John Kean, Jr.,
first, last and all the time, and the ma.
chine usually gets where 1t wants too,
and if Kean does not capture the nom
nation he can doubtless dictate terms
to the successful candidate.
There is a faint rumor to the effect
that the temperance men in the Repub-
lican camp are going to demand some
consideration, but it is by no means
certain. They have asked for good
victuals and meekly taken crow so many
times, that very little will be conceded
to them.
The wing of the Democratic party
which feels that a show Of delicacy is
absolutely necessary to give the party
any chance whatever, is still urging
the candidacy of Chancellor McGill,
and it has been confessed that the nom-
ination of the Chancellor is just what
| the Republicans do not want.
Ex-CoDgressman Augustus Cutler,
of Morris county, is being presented as
a genuine farmers candidate, and it is
claimed for him that lie has Granger
strength outside of his party.
The number of dark horses on both
sides is of course numerous. Sheriff
Toffey, of Hudson county, for the Re-
publicans, Recorder Fielder, of Jersey
City, for the Democrats, are said to
have the peculiar strength which counts
with the politicians,
A good lot of scrambling and consid-
cradle bad blood is likely to character
izs the campaign, and nobody is going
to have a Walkoyer.

How IL Works.

The State Superintendent said the
object of the new Township School law
was to equalize the burden of taxation
and to give the poor, thinly settled
farming districts an equal chance and
opportunity for education with the
thickly settled and richer districts. Let
us see how it operates in Upper Penns
Neck. The four schools in that town.
ship received last year $1662. 90, which
was enough to employ four teachers ten
months at $40 per month. In former
years the schools have been paying
about that salary aud IL as high as
$50 per month at times. There was
enough State money to pay teachers
salaries and bear all incidental expen.
SEES and fuel bills. The distribution
under the new law, as published in
another column gives that Township
only Sl4S0,6S to maintain the four
schools with. This is considerable less
when the intent of the law was to bene-
fit such sections. To maintain the
schools as in the past All extra tax for
teachers salary will he continually
necessary where before they had plenty
of money. We thiuk the State Super.
inteudtnt will have to revise his opin-
ion Mllen he comes to Upper Penn's
Neck.
Last winter the Legislature increas.
ed the State appropriation from the RI
parian school fund from 100000 to
100000. We fail to see where that
appropriation has materially benefited
the schools.

scunnL MONEY.

Salem County will this year receive
for maintaining its public schools
From State appropriation, S3,O55'4l;
from State School tax, s3S,029.9l; from
the Reserve Fund, S4,225 "a; from In,
terest on Surplus Revenue, S2,lo4. 10
tai. S47,412.S6.
BY the new law, this money is arpor-
toned to townships, and not to school
districts as formerly. Each township
first receives 5000 for each teacher en-
ployed nine months the preceding
school year, and Il per capita for eaeh
child enrolled in the school census for
the township in the year 1891. Inc
school population aud the number Oh
teachers employed last year are here

There will be no problem of raising
revenue at the coming session of Con-
gress if the receipts for the remainder
of the year run at the rate at which
they have been pouring into the Treas
ury during July. The completed fig
ures of receipts for the month show a
total of $29, 1885, 97. This covers the
period of only 80 days, as the receipts
reported on July 1 were included in
those of the fiscal year which ended on
June 80.

Did it ever occur to you, asks the
Cayuga Chiet, of Weedsport, that the
general increase in wages is chiefly in
those lines where the Mckinley tariff
was highest and the Wilson tariff is the
lowest. The greatest increase is in
those lines that are now placed on free
list. The fact is knockdown blow to
the entire Mckinley theory.

Franklin Murphy, the Newark Chair
man of the Republican State Commit

that his business requires his attention
but the strongest reason is that he ire

that he wishes to continue as Chairman
of the State Committee, an honor he
might be deprived Of If he insisted on
remaining in the Gubernatorial race

Two weeks ago when the Democratic
State Committee set September 26th as
the date of the State Democratic con-
vention to nominate a candidate for
Governor some thought it unwise to
call the Democratic convention first but
later Developments proved that it was
a shrewd move or the part of the chair
man, Allan McDermott, as that is the
last day on which a candidate for Gov.
ernor can be nominated. Certificates
of acceptance of candidates must be
filed with the Secretary Of State forty
days before election and that is the last
day. AS a consequence the Republic
cans would have to make their nomina-
tion first or on the same day. No ac-
ton was taken by the Republican State
Committee until Senator W. j. Sewell
arrived home from Europe last Satur-
day and was consulted. The Commit
tee met ON Tuesday and set Thursday,
September 10th, as the day to nominate
a Republican candidate for Governor.
This is a week earlier than the Demo-
cratic convention,

The managers of the Baldwin Loco
motive Works in Philadelphia are
awake to the times in the pc wer
of locomotion by making an alliance
with the Westinghouse Electric Manu-
featuring Company, of P%ittsburg, in
the construction of electric locomo.
tives. Electricity will o o be more
used than steam by the improvement
OF the machinery by which lightning is
harnessed and turned to the use of man
kind. The introduction of electric cars
on the Pennsylvania Railroad between
Mt. Holly and Burlington has led to an
increase of traffic, increase of profits
and in the near future steam will be
abandoned on many branch roads and
electricity used because of less expense.
