A PATCHWORK THEORY EX-
PLODED.

Opponents Of the new drainway, to be
to do Is to defeat the proposed plan:
that when the Trustees adopt a correct
and comprehensive sewerage scheme
the people will ratify it, and until then
let US get along as at present.
But the difficulty is that we are not
getting on at all at present. When the
rains come the storm waters will re-
main with us as they did last winter,
north as NJ street as they did last win
ter. Then there will be more suits
against the city for damages to add to
the actions for $21 ,000-now pend
ing; the whole south end will again be
flooded, and tens of thousands Of dol
lars of property of owners of small
homes be damaged.
Now the Record Union" is agreed
that when the Trustees adopt a correct
and comprehensive sewerage system
the people will ratify it. No doubt
about that. The Record Union has
been holding to that these many years,
and doing its best to have it accom-
plished. But that has nothing to do
whatever with the present proposition.
1t will cost over $4,000 to get along as
We are now" the coming winter. That
is to say. to rent wrecking pumps and
establish open collecting channels and
q temporary sump. Then what:
We will be just as bad off as before,
even provided that the wrecking pump
scheme will work at all, which good
judges deny. When all this is done.
the $4,000 will be gone and we will
have accomplished nothing permanent.
But 5000 viii prevent any overflow,
will put in permanent intercepting
outfall drain, and give us permanent
pumping plant Which is the cheaper,
$4,000 every winter for patchwork or
S65. 900 for permanency and ample pro-
lection?

The Populists and Democrats OF this
county are in conference upon the
proposition to fuse on county ticket.
This is a confession of weakness by both
organizations The effort under way to
merge the two parties for county pur-
poses should solidify the county Re-
publicans for their party and the main
tenance of it's banner in Sacramento.
1t is no time now to desert the party
because of a theory. The party is
standing forward for the most needed
thing, protection Of American workers
and industries. 1t can be trusted to deal
as is right and wise with the financial
adjustment that may be necessary
when it is in power again, as it will be
as the result of the November election.

and that only" Merely pausing to re-
mark that clamor and noise do not Gre
ate political issues, but that they are
the result of conditions and the move
nent of natural and business forces, let
those who fancy that protection is not
an issue go for evidence Of a single in
stance into Kern County in this State
and ask what is the matter there.
Under Republican protection Kern
raised from $1,3OO,0O0 to S1,50O,0OO
worth of wool and mutton. That amount
of money went into active circulation
in that section, and as result 1t pro-
NOTED all lines Of industrial activity,
and all the people felt the benefclal In

aims came down with their Hooks ana
paid farmers So an acre rental for
pasture, and they paid them in addl-
ton So a ton for alfalfa hay. and tens
Of thousands of tons were sold for that
feeding every fall.
What is the result of removal of pro-
lection from wool? The $1,5OO,OOO in
come has fallen to between SloO,OOO
and $4,000 a year. Pasture rental
with small demand at that, has gone
down to 81 an acre, and such little
alfalfa hay as is sold brings but " oU.
Oh, no, protection is not an issue.
Surely not! AS the Kern County call

the figures given, puts it, the Democrat

other ways. It has reduced the protec-
ton on orange growing and on the pro-
duction of lines and lemons from 10
cents to s cents a package, on apples
from % cents to 8 cents bushel, on
prunes 81 ton, on rais1ns 92o toh'

Student Who InhnleS Poisonous
Gnses SweIIs Up AlnrmingIy.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j.. October a.
While working in the chemical laboratory
yesterday, Edward Sarles, OF the class
Of 1899, of Rutgers College. succeeded in
initiating himself with gas under peculiar
circumstances. He took a Jar from under
the hood where experiments are conduct
ed, ard. forgetting that l. was full of
gas. took It TO sink to wash II out.
AS he did so he inhaled a large quantity
Of the gas, and. although he was seized
with a severe coughing spell. thought no
thing more OF It.
Some time after this one OF Sarles's
classmates remarked that his face was
swelling. Closer examination also showed
that his hands were doing the same. In
a short time his face and hands were
twice their natural size. and his body
was also considerably swollen.
Alarmed at his condition, one OF the
professors applied an 0ntidote. and the
swelling began TO abate. When Sarles
came nearer to his proper shape he
walked to DR.. Williamson's office and
took some medicine administered by the
Doctor He soon recovered from the in
halation. but was somewhat frightened
by 1t.
The student chemists are not certain
what the gas was. but think that il was
zinc sulphate.
