Whether Mr.. Mckinley is theEbest and
wisest man the Republicans can select for
President is question upon which there
can be reasonable difference of opinion.
But that be would be an Improvement
upon the present administration admits OF
no question whatever. -Ezizdbetb Journal.
Gas is the coming fuel if the people can
get it at a fair price. The Newark Nea0s
says: 1.-THE Consumers Fuel, Gas. Heat
and Power Company, which has applied
to the New York Board of Aldermen for
permission to lay mains and pipes in the
streets. proposes to supply nonilluninat-
ainx. fasln sas1 aSeziyate consumers at a cost
OF not more than fifty cents per 1000 cubic
feet, and to supply public buildings at not
more than forty cents. The advantages
Of gas as fuel. particularly in great city,
are so great that only Tie heavy cost pre-
vents enormous increase in the consump-
ton. Fuel gas can be made and supplied
for less money than gas having iluminat-
ing qualities Whether or not the COM
pany which has applied for franchise in
New York shall obtain it, its offer points
toincreased appreciation of the possibilities
of making money by supplying fuel gas in
cities"
The Jersey City Journal refers to legis-
lative carelessness as follows ''The pow =
ers of cover nment in this State are divid-
ed into three departments, the legisla
tive, executi We and judicial, and each de-
partment is supposed to attend to its share
of the public business and is generally
prohibited from interfering with the pow
ers or duties of the others. This is theory.
In practice the legislative department does
not perform its share of government. II
passes bills and then adjourns, leaving
hundreds of measures to be acted upon by
the Governor, who must serve both as
lawmaker and executive. This is mani
testify unfair to the Governor. When the
last legislative session closed, the bnlk of
its work was left for the action of the Gov
ernor, without the aid of the lawmakers
In this way some good bills have failed to
become laws simply because errors were
made by the engrossing clerks. Some
good bills are given in the list of killed
bills, and the Governor is deprived of the
right to give his reasons for killing them
because he cannot send veto message to
the House in which they originated"

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the

When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, aud
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be

THERE is no friction among Republicans
in this state as to the st. Louis delegation
or the organization of the State Commit

solidly for Major Mckinley. If General

in his way.

How to Treat a Wife.

First, get wife; second. be patient.
You may have greet trials and perplexi-
ties in your business, but do not therefore
carry to your home cloudy or contracted
brow. Your wife may have trials, which,
though of less magnitude, may be hard
for her to bear. A kind word, tender
look, will do wonders in chasing from her
brow all clouds of gloom. To this we
would add always keep bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy in the house. It
is the best and is sure to be needed soon
er or later. Your wife will then know
that you really care for her and wish to
protect her health. For sale by E. D.

For reasons best known to himself
Coy. Griggs declined to affix his official
signature to Assemblyman Wildes'
"huckleberry bllr' and the measure is
dead. The passage OF this bill may have
been local legislation" but the people in
whose interest it was introduced and
pressed to passage well know how i'm
portant it was to them. Bot the ridicule
that attached to the proposed statute
seems to have left its influence in the
State House even after adjournment, and
like other Burlington county measures it
was put to sleep.

Samuel G. Carpenter, of Easton, who

the murder of Mrs. Ray Blackwell, of

ground that the people of Warren county
