BANK OFFICIALS ACCUSED.
ur. Matlack Says They Paid a Bonus
for State Money

ys
In the Trenton dispatches in 1.-THE
Jersey City News" yesterday, Ut was
related that Assenblyman M. E. Mat
lack. of Burlington County, had gone
before the Voorhees, Investigating Conn
mfttee. IN executive session. and declared
that some banks in Burlington County

last evening. Matlack Said
Yes: 1 know that State money has
been deposited in Burlington County
banks at least-lnay be In others all
over the State-and that either bonus
or a percentage was given to some per-
son. Now, whether that money was
given for campaign purposes or went
into the pockets of some private indi-
vidua1 l cannot say, but Joseph s..

Joe Hume is chief clerk in the State
Treasurers office, and has been for
years, through Republican and Demo-
cratic administrations alike.
.".I have nothing to say" he said; its
all spite work" "
That remark was elucidated by persons
familiar with Burlington County poli-
tics. Hulne is an active Republican
politician there. AT one time he was
rhand-in-glove with Budd Deacon, ex-
United States Marshal and one of Gen.
Sewen's lieutenants. Hulme and Deacon
had a falling out, and since then Deacon
has been moving heaven and earth to
have Hume evicted from his Office. As
semblyman Matlack and Deacon are
.'Hulne,'' said Mr.. Maitlack, ''helped
as Senator from Burlington in 1891. He
and then had him lie down SO as to let
Perkins have an easy thing of 1T. While
George 3. Gray was Treasurer, Clifford
Stanley Sims, Lay Judge Of the Court of
Errors and Appeals, came here and s.rl
bounced. The Governor said that it
couldn't be done, as it was in the bar
gain Hulme should be kept for his part
in electing Perkins"
These facts seem to indicate that po-
qitical revenge is at the bottom of the
proposed investigation, but Mr.. Metlack
says that he is simply animated by a
desire to expose a grave abuse that he
believes to have existed.
There is nothing of that sort done

DANGERS OF COCAINE.

They Are Even Worse Than Those |
Connected With the Opium Habit.
Few drugs in recent tin es have re-
ceived more general commentator
than cocaine; it's advantages as local
anaesthetic, received with some mere
dulity when it was first introduced,
have been so abundantly proved that
there may be tendency to overlook
the fact that there are certain dangers
attendant upon it's too frequent or
reckless employment. AS a local an
aesthetic it has won golden opinions
where small operations were required
upon superficial. parts; in ophthalmic
and laryngeal surgery it may fairly be
said to have revolutionized the method
of a few years back. But every now
and again warnings are brought for
ward which indicate that with cocaine
as with opium and other modes of pro-
ducing local or general anaesthesia,
there is danger in the familiarity
which breeds, if not contempt, at least
disregard of ordinary precautions.
Verdicts of misadventure are no con-
is an underlying conviction that the
fatality might never have occurred if
there had been any due appreciation
| Of danger.
Cocaine is drug which shares with
opium and many others the question
able credit Of developing habit i. e.,
of leading by the benefcent effects ex-
perienced after small doses, to de-
sire for the REPETITION of the relief; and
as consequence, the dose employed
| tends to become greater and the pre-
| cautions which, perhaps, were taken at
first, are gradually relaxed. ''Cocain-
| ISM is not so we'll recognized in this
country as in America, but it undoubt-
eddy exists as 8 form of self indul-
! gence OF as practice which, like NOR
pninism, originally employed as a
means of alternating some chronic
trouble, has ultimately developed into
a form of self-indulgence, in which
! the need Of restraint and Of precau-
| tionary measures is entirely lost in
| the fascination Of the relief afforded
i by the drug. In recent inquest, the
evidence showed that the drug had
been originally prescribed for the re-
| lief of pain in the gums, and the Symp-
!! toms Immediately preceding the ter
1 mination were merely those of col
lapse; there was no indication of the
amount employed or taken. In most
i cases collapse is the most marked fea-
4 ture, and this symptom may arise
when the drug has been employed as
a local application in the form Of a
hypodermic injection or spray, and
may frequently call for stimulant
i treatment after employment Of the
| spray in laryngeal examinations.
! 1t must not be forgotten however,
i that a true cocaine habit may be de-
i veloped when the drug is taken inter
nally in any quantity and that this
condition is occasionally marked by
curious Authorizations and perversions
of moral sense, which if the use of the
| drug is not discontinued, may lead to
more serious central disturbances. The
summary of the whole matter may be
expressed in the proverb that "fre is
a good servant, but a bad master"
i Cocaine, or any other drug which al
lays pain, has it's limitations, and
these are reached when the craving
for the relief afforded leads to disre-
gard of the attendant dangers.-Lon
