The people of New Jersey now
have an opportunity to square ac-
counts with the assemblymen who
were opposed to the publication OF
the laws in the newspapers. Tax
PAYERS in the counties named below
should see to it that James Robert
son, of Passaic, Republican,; Alfred
Walling, Jr., a Democrat, of Mon
mouth; G. A. Reid, of Somers ct, Re
publican and Edward w. Hicks, Rep,
should be defeated for nomination
to office whenever they seek it. They
are all lawyers. The newspapers OF
both parties should assist in keeping
these names before the people as
these lawyers by their action in COM
mittee decided not to give citizens of
this state an opportunity to read the
laws in the newspapers. II there
was any candidate for the Republi-
can nomination in this county
among those named above we would
do our utmost to defeat him and as
it happens to be a Democrat and he
does not particularly want to be a
yearling, he is not at all anxious and
our Democratic contemporaries will
not have hard work to put his little
boom to sleep.

Bic Mem on ffte. Fonrth.

There is the man who fires the cam
non, to the immense enthusiasm of the
little boys and the terror of the ladies,
who realize what hero he must be
when he can stand so close to the death
dealing instrument during a concussion
which even at distance makes them
stop their ears. He is even more impor-
tant than the man who bosses the bar
becue, and is immeasurably above the
man who stirs the lemonade, who in
turns shoots out the lip at him who puts
up the swings as fellow of low occu-
patton and worthy Of no consideration.
So great is the immortal Fourth that, in
fact, it communicates some of its great
ness to every one who on that day does
anything Of public character, and ey-
cry citizen who has been appointed or
has appointed himself to any public
function in virtue of that fact feels en-
titled to lift his head above his fellows.

A Day OF Great Noise.

The evolution of Fourth of July has
carried the celebration of the national
anniversary SO far away from the old
standards that it has ceased to have any
close reference to the stirring events it
was intended to commemorate. Had the
signers of the Declaration any idea Of
what would occur ON July 4, 1896, it is
possible they might have hesitated be-
fore they affixed their names to that
document. John Adams, it is true, rec
commended that the day should be OBJ
served with great noise, but it is like
ly that the old patriot had in mind the
ringing Of bells, the firing of cannon
and the patriotic shouts of vast multi
tudes, rather than the juvenile pande-
monium which is now about all that is
left of Fourth of July celebrations =

women of the Rerolutiou.

As we approach Revolutionary days
it is evident that the women of all the
colonies were as deeply stirred as were
the men at the constant injustice and
growing tyranny Of the British govern
ment, and they were not slow in openly
averring their adherence and revolt
against this injustice. Their Individual
actioneonsisted in the wearing only of
garments of homespun manufacture
their concerted exertions in gathering
in patriotic bands to spin and the sign
ing of compacts to drink no more of the
taxed tea, that significant emblem Of
British injustice and American revolt.

LINCOLN ANr JACKSON.
Two FissSiots Whose Names Should Nevsr
Be Forgotten.

Be Forgotten.
Lincoln owed nothing to his birth,
everything to his growth; had no train
ing save what he gave himself; no
nurture, bat only a wild and native
strength. His life was his schooling,
and every day of it gave to- his charac-
ter new touch Of development. His
manhood nos only, but his perception
also, expanded with his life His eyes,
as they looked more and more abroad,
beheld the national life and compre-
hended it, and tse lad who had been so
rough cut a provincial became when
grown to manhood, the one leader In
all the nation who held the whole peo-
pie singly in his heart-held even the
southern people there and would have
won them back. And 80 we have il aim
what we must call she perfect develop
ment of native strength, the rounding
out and naturalization of the proyin-
ciaL Andrew jackson was type, not
of the nation, but Of the west. For all
the tenderness there was. in the stormy
heart of the masterful man, and stanch
and simple loyalty to all who loved
him, he learned nothing in the east;
kept always the flavor of the rough
school in which he had been bred; was
never more than frontier soldier and
gentleman.
Lincoln differed from Jackson by all
the length of his unmatched capacity
to learn. Jackson could understand only
men of his own kind. Lincoln could
understand men of all sorts and from
every region of the land; seemed him
self, indeed, to be all men by turns as
mood succeeded mood in his strange
nature. Forum.

you can, by granting our request,
! tighten our burden and make Us q
confident party with victory in
sight, even before the contest begfas.
''Will we carry Colorado, Montana
and Nevada this year if the Democ;
racy declare for silver at 16 to 1 Let
us hope we may. New Jersey has as
many electoral votes as those three
States together.
Will you not make New Jersey
sure to take their place in case OF
need? We have in all these long
years of Republicanisin been the
Lone STAR Democratic State in
the North. Our forty years of wander
ing in the wilderness OF Democracy
are ended. Our Egyptian darkness
disappears. We are on the hill top
looking into the promised land. En-
courage us as we m9 9rch over into the
political canaan of Republicanism,
there to remain, by giving us lead
er on the Republican National ticket
to go with us.
I'VE are proud of our public men.
Their Republicanism and love of
country have been welded in the
furnace of political adversity. That
man is a Republican who adheres to
the party in State where there is no
hope for the qualification of person
al ambitions. There are NO camp
followers in the minority party of
any State. They are all true soldiers
in the militant arrlay doing valiant
service without reward, gain or the
hope thereof from principle only.
"A true representative of this
class of Republicans New Jersey will
offer you today He is in the prime
of life, never faltering friend, with
qualities of leadership unsurpassed
of sterling honor, of broad mind, of
liberia, views, OF wide public informa-
tion, of great business capacity, and
withal parliamentarian who would
grace the Presidency of the Senate
Of the United States. A native of
our State, the son of an humble farm
er, he was reared to love of country
in sight Of the historic field of Mon
mouth on which the republic might
exist. From poor boy, unaided and
alone, he has risen to renown
among us. I'm our State we have
done for him all that the political
condition would permit. He has
been Speaker of our Assembly and
President of our Senate; he has been
the choice for United States Senator
of the Republican minority in the
Legislature, and had it been in our
power to have placed him in the
Senate of the United States, he
would long ere this have been there.
His capabilities are such as would
grace any position of honor in the
nation. Not for himself, but for our
State not for his ambition, but to
give to the nation the highest type
of public official, do we come to this
convention, by the command of our
State, and in the name of the Re
publican party of New Jersey -un-
conquered aud unconquerable, un-
divided and indivisible, with our
united voice speak for all that counts
for good citizenship in our State,
