Kept the promises they made then, as
they always have and always will.
PENDING the reception of the reports
q the committees Congressman John j.
Gardiner delivered an address. The com
mittee on resolutions reported first.
Following is the platform:
The Republicans Of New Jersey re-
ann anrm their devotion to the established
led the party since 1t came into existence.
we endorse and approve it in its en-
lirety, the platform adopted by the Ma
@ dionai convention at st. Louis, and we
especially declare our adherence to the
principles Of protection to American in
dustries and the preservation of the in
tegfity OF our currency. We believe that
ihe debasement of the currency by the
70 would work irreparable injury to
every class of our citizens 1t means d
practical reputation OF public and pri-
Vate DEBTS and the destruction of public
confidence, abandonment of enterprises
and general stagnation of business. 1t
means idle factories, low wages and finan-
cial ruin and distress, especially and first
OF all to the great mass of our people
who belong to the wage-earning class 1t
is TO the interest of every voter, and it
IS the duty of every believer in personal
anu iiatloial nopor TO oppose by voice
and vote this political and financial
heresy. We are unalterably opposed to
the proposition to destroy the protection
we enjoy under the Supreme Court of the
United States, the most honored and in
the last resort the most necessary in
stitution, and the proposition to restrain
the arm of the National Executive from
the repression of lawless violence, and we
call upon all the voters of the State. of
whatever political party. to aid in repe-
ling the most violent assault that has
ever been made upon the interests of the
people and the honor of the nation. We
especially commmend the fitness and abii-
ity of the candidates presented by the
Republican National Convention. We rec
ognize them as the representatives of
honesty and integrity of the Republican
party. as citizens to whose care our ma
tional affairs may safely be entrusted.
and we pledge ourselves to the support
of William Mckinley and Garret A. Ho-
bart for President and Vice President
I'VE extend cordial welcome to those
of our citizens who. while still identified
with the Democratic party, intend to vote
for Mckinley and Hobart. We acknowl-
edge their assistance, their unselhsh
patriotism and confidently believe their
action will not only merit the approval
of their conscience. but that the future
will show the wisdom of the same.

Ants With Umbrellas,

The doings of ants are among the
most interesting things that naturalists
find to study. No members of tine insect
world present more startling suggestions
of intelligence and forethought govern
ing their actions 1t is not correct, how
ever, to explain the habits and conduct
of ants by human analogies. For in
stance, it was once supposed that the SO
called "parasol ants" living in hot,
tropical countries, carried little leaves
above their heads for the sake of protec-
ton from the sun. Later Investigations
have shown that the ants actually do
carry leaves, suspended by the stem
which they hold in their jaws. and that
columns Of them thus furnished with
leaves like an army with banners march
in regular order, but that the leaves. in
stead of being intended to shelter the
ants from the sunshine, are deposited
by them around their nests to form a
soil in which grows q kind Of fungus
that they are fond OF. So the parasol
ant is not dandy. but a farmer

Of wood for the campfire. He is wanted,
nevertheless. The campers call him the
jovial man, the one who never sulks. but
always smiles He is cheerful when the
clouds weep and the campers are dismal.
He laughs when he misses easy shots.
he grins when the smoks gets into his
eyes and says that the nubs and sticks
in the camp bed are good, because they
give the sleeper plenty of exercise.
The cheerful man is especially well
liked in q camp where the hunters have
had bad run Of luck. II q week passes
and the woods have been SO dry that the
deer or the turkeys couldn't be ap-
preached, then the cheerful man, as he
fries pork or bacon for supper, laughs
and says that any way it's . good thing
for the game.
When the weather is gloomy and ev-
cry one has the blues, it is the cheerful
man who gets out and gathers q big

he has somebody else do it, and when

uuently this is the case. A woman can
not be a happy, helpful amiable wife who
suffers from weakness and disease at the
very nainsprings of her nature. PITY
may grow up to take its place, but love
itself seldom survives where this is the
case. If a woman will, she may always
hold her place in a mans mind and
heart. If she will take the right care of
herself in a womanly way she will never
lose her rightful inheritance, a hus-
bands love.
The best of all known medicines for wo-
men is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t acts directly on the important and deli
cate organs that make wifehood and
motherhood possible and makes them
strong and well. 1t allays Inflammation,
heals liberation, soothes pain and tones
up and builds up tired nerves. It pre-
pares for almost pangless motherhood and
insures healthy children. Thousands of
women who were sick1y, nervous, fretful
invalids are now happy, cheerful and
helpful wives as a result of its use. All
good medicine dealers keep it and there
is nothing "just as good" Any deale,
who tries to persuade you that there is,
is thinking more of his profit than OF
your welfare and health.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a safe, sure
speedy, permanent cure for constipation They
are tiny, sugar-coated granules. One little " Pei
let :" is gentle laxative, and two a mild cathar
tic. They never gripe. Druggists sell them
and no other pills are as good.
