willing to turn In his property for

him in connection with the Cotton

the Cotton Belt only eleven months
before being promoted to his pres

excellent services and thorough
knowledge of railroading. Long

The Borough Council.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Borough Council took place Mon
day evening, the Mayor and full board
being present. After the minutes of the
last meeting were read and approved;
Bill of Samuel Bartlett for S914 for
recording the vital statistics was re-
ceived and ordered paid
On motion, the Mayor appointed
special committee consisting of Council
men Leeds, Adams and Lutz for the pur-
pose Of drawing specifications for a new
building in which to house the chemical
engine.
Complaint has been made to the Mayor
concerning a vicious dog kept by Mrs.
Harry Haines, and his Honor suggested
that the Marshal be instructed to
enforce the law provided for such cases.
A long discussion took place upon the
violation of the Bicycles ordinance by
wheelmen who ride upon the sidewalks.
1t was determined that the law should
be enforced, and as a means to that end
the Council voted to pay the Marshal
two dollars out of the fines collected for
each violation of the ordinance
The Mayor called attention to the fact
that certain parties from outside the
Borough were peddliDg beer and whisky
from wagons in violation both of the
State and Borough laws. He thought
it should be stopped at once if possible.
After some discussion it was thought
best to delay action until revision of
the Borough license ordinance which it
expected would be reported at the next
meeting.
Resolutions, which we print in another
place, were then adopted concerning the
removal OF the County Seat.
Also resolution of thanks to Super
defendant A. 0. Dayton of the W. }. R. r.
for the donation of an engine tire to be
| used as fire alarm.

Where Arc We At?
To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:

| 10 THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
In view Of the rapid change Of political
opinion, and the evident drift of Repub-
| lican sentiment in one direction, feel
impelled at this time to ask where our
State is to stand at the st. Louis con
vention. Although no instructions were
given the delegates at the late State con-
ventiOn there was no mistaking the will
of the people that the vote of New Jersey
should be given to William Mckinley, of
Ohio. Anything short OF that would, in
my opinion, fail to express the feeling of
vast majority of the Republican party
throughout the State. Unless all Signs
fail the Republican candidate nominated
at st. Louis will be Overwhelmingly
elected, and in that event New Jersey
ought to be in position to profit by it.
Men are human-especialIy politicians
and they will naturally exchange favors
with those who grant them. If our
State is to receive any consideration
hereafter under what hope and believe
is to be a Republican administration,
now is the time for the State delegation
to explicitly announce that it is ready to
execute the peoples will and proclaim,
itself squarely for Mckinley.
For the first time in third of cen
tury New Jersey is in complete control
of the Republican party reinforced by
thousands of votes from the better ele-
ments of the Democratic party. 1t can
not hope to retain all the votes that
came to it upon purely State issues.
Upon the broader lines of national con-
test many will return from whence they
came, and the fight will be much closer
than many imagine. Every vote will be
needed to carry the State against the
Democrats if they nominate strong
ticket. Under these circumstances it be-
comes paramount duty for our Repub-
lican leaders to strengthen the ticket in
every possible way. One way | would
respectfully suggest would be to use all
honorable means to secure the nomina
ton OF Hon. Garrett A. Hobart for Vice
President. He is an able, clean, honest
man, and believe his nomination would
put New Jersey safely in the Republican
column beyond a doubt. Come, Gen.
Sewell, get move on you.
Very respectfully,

How to Treat A wife.
(From Pacific Health Journal. J

First, get wife, second be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
plexities in your business, but do not
therefore, carry to your home cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less mag
nitude, may be hard for her to bear. A
kind word, tender look, will do won
ders in chasing from her brow all clouds
of gloom.-To this we would add al
ways keep bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is the
best and is sure to be needed sooner or
later. Your wife will then know that

tect her health. For sale by G. W
