ERIE SCORES IT'S POINT.
Greenwood Lake Lease LOCALIZED
without Track Elevation.


S9ecie! 10 the Je,sGY Gin Hcars.
TRENTON. March II, 1Sss.-The Erie
track elevation took a new tu9n yester-
day, and Senators Voorhees, and DAILY,
the champions of the people of Jersey
City. nave their doubts as to whether
they have not been deceived by the Erie
agents. The bill which sanctions the
lease OF the New York and Greenwood
Lake Railroad to the Erie. Ever since
Mr.. Abram Hewitt was here last week
and in his interesting and characteristic
manner said that the Erie would derive
no particular benefit from the lease,
whereas the passage of the bill would
be the probable making of his road,
while its defeat would undoubtedly wreck
the Greenwood Lake, the Senators have
been DESTROYS OF helping the ex-Mayor
out of the financial hole into which the
o has placed him.. But if the bin
should pass as introduced, it was claimed
it would practically amount to the recog-
milton by the State of the Erie's reorgani-
cation. which is just what Messrs. DAILY
and Voorhees,, the champions of the
people of Jersey City. do not propose 70
have done until the Erie has made some
arrangement or agreement to put up The
tracks.
So in order to remove their objection
to the bill, Mr.. Johnson. the i~ntroducer,
said a resolution was introduced by him
which struck out the words Erie Rail
roao Company" and inserted. TO any
foreign corporation owning properly
along the Hudson River and having a
terminal thereon"
When the bill came up on final pas
a Mr.. Daily opposed It. He said he
might be doing the and the
stockholders of the road an injustice,
but there was a higher justice in stop
agreed to elevate its tracks. There were
times, he said, when the end justified
the means and, in his opinion, this was
one of those times.
the measure and greatly feared that
there was an Ethiopian in it somewhere:
He said that he would vote for the bill
if he would be assured that it would IN
no way sanction the reorganization of
the Erie.
Mr.. Johnson assured Mr.. Voorhees, that
as far as he could see the bill would no
accomplish that which Mr.. VOORHEES,
feared. Mr.. Voorhees, still had his CUB

to him and he consulted Mayor Wanser,
who was here, all day. and they con-
eluded to send for Judge Blair, The
Senator Voorhees, and Mayor Wanser
went over the bill carefully and discussed
the matter at length. Judge Blair said
that on the surface the bill appeared to
decide until he had examined the rela-
items which existed between the Erie
and the Long Dock Company.
The bill is still in the Senate. and if
of its giving the Erie what it seeks it
will be recalled and defeated.

Apportionment- and Appeals.

Nothing can be more productive of
chaos than the proposition to vest in the
courts the power to review an appor-
tionment of the Assembly made by the
Legislature. 1t is in defiance of ali true
conceptions of the relative duties of the
two branches of the State governments.
1t raises, besides. so many practical diff
culties that, Under such a system. cleo
tions might become a practical impossi-
bility.
The best plan that could be adopted
would be the division of the Assembly
seats among the counties on a basis of
population by the Legislature. The local
authorities should be charged with lay
ing out the Assembly districts, according
TO well defined principles as to c~ontiguity
Of territory ard equality of voting popu-
lation. This duty the local Boards should
be oblige to perform early, and then
a reasonable time. say sixty days. should
be left in which either party might APP
peal. If an appeal was not taken in that
time it should not be legal again until
after an election was held. A review
might then be allowed for sixty days to
be based upon inequalities in the total
votes of the districts as shown in the
returns. This opportunity for appeal
having passed, no more should be allowed
until after the mex apportionment.

THAT queer being. the Red Dog Edi-
tor of the state Gazette" is scandal
lied at Assemblyman Queens Discount
esq., in intimating that Chairman Lower
of the Committee on Railroads was not
to be trusted. There is a feebleness about
this protest which is amusing.
Mr.. Queen was placing in the pillory
where every honest man in the State
could throw a brick at him, the treacher-
Gus enemy of the taxpayers, the sub
s~ervient tool of corporation greed. He
was doing the high pubic duty of ex-
posing hypocrisy and laying bare un-
scrupulous party alliance with monopoly.
And the Estate Gazette" talks of the
discourtesy of it. 1t Is as If a pickpocket
should complain of the personal indig-
nifty of being handed over to the police.

their portraits. most Of which were paint

self into a dairyman at an early
hour, but he was cut short in his
calculations by Health Agent j. D.

for trial in the police court a few
hours later and sentenced to six
mopths imprisonment at hard labor

Good Scheme If 1t Works.

An attempt will soon be made to

John Bowler, E. B. Thomas, L.

Rawlins have canvassed the situa-
ton and decided upon plan
which, if carried out, will no doubt
bring them substantial results.
Their idea is to purchase vessel
in Port Townsend, if possible, and
load it with sash, blinds, doors and
lumber which they will take to
the nearest seaport near johann
nesberg. The cargo will then
be taken overland to the principal
town and disposed of. 1t is ex-
pected that the vessel will call here
for the members of the syndicate
and then go directly to South
Africa. The vessel will load dia'

THE BAND KICKED.

Objections to Quality OF Food on
4 Kinau-Rectified by Mr.. Wight.
IA member of the Hawaiian band
has complained of the treatment
accorded them while on the Klnau,
en- route to Hilo. The objection
was to the quantity and quality OF
the food, which the musician states,
"was not as good as that supplied
the Japanese laborers on the way
to the plantations" The matter
has been investigated by repre-
sentative of this paper with the fol-
lowing results:
The complaint as stated above
! was made to Professor Berger by
one of the white members of the
band, and the professor in turn re-
ported it to G. L. Wight, president
of the Wilder S. S. Co. who was on
board.
Mr.. Wight inquired of the
steward and was informed that he
had not received notification from
the office that the band boys were
to have food different from any
other deck passengers. Mr.. Wight
regretted the circumstances, but
said it could not be remedied
Professor Berger told him he woulc
be obliged to take his men ashore
at the first stopping place If pro
visions were not made.
Before reaching Mahukona, Nh
Wight gave instructions to tn
steward to go ashore and procur
all the fresh meat and food neces
sary, and feed it to the men. Whel
this was done the complaints ceas
ed, and the band boys waxed fat.
Professor Berger states that tn
trouble was all caused through tn
fact of the unusual number OF pas
sengers on the steamer that trlI
and compliments Mr.. Wight on hi
promptness in remedying the caus
for complaint.

1t Is Not
Reasonable

To suppose that a dealer who
knows his business, who
knows values, as no novice
can know them, would
charge you for his knoWl-
edge. knowledge of goods
makes it easy for him to pur-
chase right; and to sell right.
We claim to carry the best
goods known in our various
lines, and quality considered
sell them lower than most
houses in our line of trade.
1t is quality we brag on; it
is the backing we give our
goods which make them
right to you, for there is nc
question but what oul

LUTTE RELIABILITY.

how fluently the dealer stuffs
you about it being JUST AS

I want TO say to your readers that
there is no more trouble to cure and
make first-class hay of the Florida clov-
er (beggar weed than there is in curing
and making good hay north out of their
red clover. says c. II. Ward in Southern
Ruralist. The only drawback we have
here is in generally having our rainy
season about the time we want TO make
hay. The greatest mistake most OF US
make is in not having our ground seeded
thlckly enough TO make the stalks grow
small but thick and then in not cutting
It soon enough. My experience is that 1t
should be cut when about two feet high,
and generally some little time before il
blooms a all. If any one could see some
of the beggar weed hay in my barns now,
they would not wonder that all kinds Of
stock We're so eager for il. l want moth
ing better for feeding green or dry, than
this same Florida clover.
1t is not half the work to make good
hay of it as it is to cure the so-much
lauded cow pea, and it's twice as good
after you get it.

Nothing in one half acre garden this
season affords us so much interest as
eight cassabanana plants, now growing
very luxuriantly. the more advanced hav-
ing hight of twenty-five feet, and would
have been forty but the pole being only
the former hight, the vines had no sup
port, and. consequently, had TO come back
TO the earth. AS a climber the cassaba-
mana has no rival, and even if it did not
perfect its fruit here by Oct. Is. we should
value II as an ornamental climber-annual
that il Is. We have good reason, however,
for believing that it will mature its fruit
by the date named. on June "a buds have
made their appearance, and in a few days
there will be blooms. Surely it will per-
feet its fragrant fruit in ninety days
time. The vine is exceedingly ornamental
and will, no doubt, be quite extensively

lady-gaTdners. As Mr.. Normand says, it

support is provided. Started in a cold

speak more enthusiastically as to its or
namental advantages after we have seen
the vine in full flower, which it promises
to be by the first OF July, The perfect
fruit is about the size of a matured Gu
cumber, with the fragrance of the ba-
mana. An experiment in a small way
with the fruit the past season shows that

test its ediele qualities in a fresh state.
Perhaps some of our readers have tested
or are testing its merits. If so, we shall
be glad to have their opinion of the new

Heavy Shortage in Southern Peaches

The American Agriculturist of June %
says: 1.-THE closing of June finds south
ern peaches moving in earnest toward the
northern and western markets, with the
volume of the crop quite different from
what was earlier promised. So important
has the southern peach belt become the
last few years that partial failure in
Georgia and adjacent states, where ordi-
narily so successfully grown, is a matter
of prime Importance, not only there but
in the northern fruit belt, and all the way
to the Pacific coast as we'll. 1t is now
conceded on nearly every hand that the
commercial crop in the south, so far as
bulk is concerned will be less than half
that of last year. Special investigation
Just completed by this journal throughout
every important section of Georgia, the
Carolinas, Tennessee and as far west d
Mississippi and Arkansas, reveals the fact
that in great many counties the crop
is all the way from a half or third down
to a total failure, SO far as fruit available
for shipment is concerned.
Two leading reasons are clearly in evil
dence, the one that orchards bore so heav-
lily last year trees are lacking in vitality
this season. Another and perhaps more
forcible reason, the attacks of curculio.
Our reports show this almost everywhere,
including returns from the biggest grow
ers in the country in the most favored
sections. Earlier in the season, as point
ed out by our special report printed in
these columns at the time, the outlook
was highly promising, and due to the
increased number OF orchards coming into
bearing, there was every reason to believe
the merchantable crop would prove great
er than ever before, unless overtaken by
such disaster as has just been noted.
While the health of well-kept peach or
chards is good, a vast number have been
subjected 10 attacks of curculio resulting
disastrously to the crop. Fruit has
dropped badly, and it is a rare exception
where an orchard has turned out entire
" satisfactory. Southern peaches will en-
gage the attention Of consumers in the
north and east for a number of weeks to
come. but most Of this fruit will be out
of the way before the crop is ready for
market from such northern states as
