If the President were elected by popu-
lar vote, Major Mckinley would have a
plurality of about 100, 900. This is
the largest expression of public conf
dence and support ever given Presiden-
tial candidate. 1t is quite evident that a
very large proportion of the people OF
the United States wanted William Nc
Kipley as President.

The Werts license law which has been
in operation for several years is to have
it's constitutionality passed upon by the
Supreme Court. That part of the law to
be submitted to the highest legal tribunal
in the State is that which provides that
Excise Boards shall have the power to
revoke licenses. The Newark AdUerttse7
says: SIT ought to be apparent to the
influences that are back of this applica-
ton to the courts that revival of the
liquor question in New Jersey is apt to
have far different results than what they
seek to promote ;"

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Wizard Edison is going to make the
blind see by means of the X-rays. What
help to clouded intellects.
Senator 1ffH has at last broken the
science, to give the.reason for his mac
tivity during the Presidential campaign.
He says he saw that the Democratic
party was foredoomed to defeat, SO deter
mined to remain absolutely silent and
inactive. In adding the wisdom of seer
to his other mplishments, David may
yet retrieve lost ground and be the Moses
to lead the Democratic party out of the
wilderness.

Mr.. W. J. Bryan, from his utterances
since the election, is evidently determined
to keep himself in line with the silver
sentiment in order to be its candidate in
1900. However, If we shall have a
period of prosperity during the next four
years, his occupation will be practically
gone. And then, correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record says that President
Cleveland is being talked of as candi
date for 1900. and that he is firmly of the
belief that there will then be Demo
cratic National Convention, and that it
will adopt the Indianapolis platform OF
its PRINCIPLES.

William Mckinley will be the twenty
fifth President of the Uuited States. On
the Goth of February, six days before his
Inauguration, he will be fifty two years of
age, the same age that Abraham Lincoln
was when inaugurated in 1861. Mr.. Lin
ooln, like Mckinley, was born in the
month of Februa ry-on February 10, 1909.
He was inagurated on the 4th of March,
1861, twenty days after the completion of
his fifty.second year, whereas Mr.. McKin-
ley will be inagurated six days after it.
Like Lincoln, Mr.. Mckinley served as a
Representative in Congress before his
election to the Presidency.

Mr.. William S. Sharp, the veteran
journalist of Trenton, is candidate for the
position of Sergeant-at.Arms of the State
Senate, which place he held in 1890, but
in consequence of the Senate being Dem.

the position again, but thinks he il

governing such cases. Mr.. Sharp is {

The Hudson county liquor sellers are
nothing if not aggressive. The atmos.
phere they breathe up there respecting
their traffic is different from what the
rest Of the people inhale. So they pro.
pose to ask for "more liberal laws
regulating their business. They-that il
the saloon keeping elemer want the
law modified 80 that they may be allowed
to sell on Sunday afternoon and evening.
A hundred chances to one that want will
be their master. If the Republican
party wanted to wipe out their 80. 900 and
odd thousand majority won at the
last election all it it would have to dc
would be to thus ''liberalize" the present
Sunday law. None but an enemy of the
Republican party would essay to change
the law at the behest of the Hudson
liquor fellows.

Senator Sewell, with all other sensible
men, is happy over the result of the
election. In recent interview, discuss
ing the needs of the country, he said 4:
s'There is urgent need of tariff legislation
that will increase the revenues of the
government SO that it can not only meet
its current expenses, but also gain sur
plus sufficient to cover the deficiencies
that have occurred for some time past.
At the same time headlong rush into
new tariff Immediately upon the new
Presidents assuming the reins of govern
ment is not desirable. l am in favor of
the passage of the revenue bill which
passed the House last winter, generally
known as the Dingley bill. The receipts
of the government would be increased
under this bill by about forty million
dollars year. This would be derived
from small duty on wool to protect the
farming interests, and slight horizontal
increase in the general schedules. hope
this measure can be passed by the present
Congress as, in that event, President
Mckinley would not consider it necessary
to call an extra session"

Scientific persons are discussing the
feasibility of persuading the world to
celebrate the year 1900 by universal
agreement changing the calendar from
twelve mouths, with their varied number
OF days, to thirteen months, all but one
of which would have twenty-eight days
each. With such division of the year,
each day of the week would come at the
same dates in each month. If January 1,
say, were Monday, LIST, 9Th, 18th, 22d OF
every month that year would be Monday
the I'd, 9th, 10th, and 23d of every Tues
day, and so on. The advantages of this
system are obvious, but it is extremely
doubtful about it's being put in operation.

The annual Farmers Institute, held
here this week, was an important gath er-
ing of the agriculturists, and theinfuence
cannot help but prove beneficial to the
titlers of the soil. The character of the
exercises contrasted we'll with previous
institutes, and covered subjects of vital
interest to every farmer. If the instruc-
tions and experiences are taken advan.
tage,of there is no reason why farming
should not still be remunerative. The
conditions surrounding our farmers have
greatly changed in the last twenty five or
fifty years, and they need but to
adapt themselves to these new conditions,
and then employ the same methods of
detail and economy that bring success in
other callings, and they can realize a
profit in farming. These Institutes are
held not only to stimulate such endeavor,
but to give the how and why of it.,
Woodstown is the centre of one of the
richest agricultural sections in the State,
or in the United States, and if our far
mers will but put into practice what they
have learned at this institute, there is no
reason that success should not attend
their efforts and crown their labors with
the most gratifying results.

1t is really astonishing what crumbs of
comfort some persons can get out of
adverse circumstances. The Atlanta
Constitution, which strongly advocated
the cause of free silver, with all its Pop
uiistic sid e-trappings, during the recent
campaign, now declares that the result of
the election SIS substantial victory of
Democratic principles against all the
ODDS brought against them; fitting pre-.
lude to the sweeping victory the party
will receive in 1900.'' This looks like a
case, however. of getting the bone, while
the other dog gets the meat. To predi.
cate issues now for 1900 is about as
uncertain as life, and can do little
good, except as a menace to the nros.

New York Evening Post, in an article
under the heading of "Decline in

ga new element has entered into the

debar from employment the man who
patronizes the saloon, and is thus liable
to cause terrible disaster and immense
loss of property. The trolley companies
produce the same result when they
announce that they cannot afford to have
motormau who takes drink"
Another exchange says:
-"Within the last six months four of the
largest trunk lines in the country have
decided to employ nasmau in any depart
ment of the business who drinks whiskey.

large business houses in the cities will

IS an important factor in the turning of
the scales, but just what President
CleYeland will do is yet to be learned.
1t is conceded that Spain cannot hope for
any assistance from the European powers,
and that President Cleveland will most
likely notify the Spanish authorities that
it is time to end the hostilities. This
probable action has given rise to grave
war rumors within the last few days, but
Spain has enough on her hands without
crossing swords with Uncle Sam. Cuba
is destined to be free after long struggle.
