The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias
held their annual meeting in Trenton at
Masonic Hall last Wednesday and Thurs
day. The most of the time was taken up
in discussing proposed amendments to the
constitution aud bylaws, matters which
interest members only. The election of
these officers was announced, the result
having been reached in the subordinate
lodges, and this being the first time that
the election has not occurred on the floor
OF the Grand Lodge in years: Ralph

We notice that some Of the papers in
the State endorse the claim OF the State
Gazette that six thousand dollars a year
is too small salary to pay the Clerk in
Chaucery and the Clerk of the Supreme
Court. Some of our contemporaries think
$40, 900 year is none too much, and say
that these officers are burdoned with great
responsibilities and the offices should be
dignifed accordingly. Again, it Is said
that nearly one.half of a salary OF 5000
would have to go TO meet political and
other expenses, etc. On the other hand,
it is claimed, with good reasons, that
So, 900 year is far in excess of what their
services are worth, according to the GUS
tomary rate of compensation for such
duties. The work in both Offices is largely
performed by subordinates, and the labor
done by the heads Of the departments
would not command half of SO. 900 from
corporations or individuals. There Is no
reason why the people should be burdened
with any mans political or social expen-
ses. The officials are placed 10 Office for
the purpose OF performing certain defined
duties, and should be paid for doing them
and nothing else. Morristo,On Jersey

The bill to change the boundary line
between the township Of West Amwell and
Delaware, in this county, came up for
final passage, 10 the Senate, yesterday.
Mr. Kuhl claimed that there was not the
slightest reason for this change. He said
it would simply transfer $40, 900 worth OF
property from Delaware to West Amwell
and would make it more convenient for a
few individuals to reach apolling place.
He presented petition with 500 names
upon it against the passage of the bill.
He further insisted that it would be bad
precedent to establish.
Mr.. Skirm said the bill was one desired
by the people in that section, as they now
attended church and the public schools in
West Amwell. After a careful hearing
given to the people interested, the commit
tee felt that the accessions asked fol
we're valid. Delaware township had
81, 500, 900 of property, while West Am
we'll had about $500, 900, so it could moi
materially iDjure Delaware.
The debate finally developed into
brief political combat between Senators
Kuh and Skirm, in which references were
thrown back and forth about vicious legis
lation of the past enacted by Democrats
and Republicans.
The bill passed 16 to 3.

When Japan entered the sisterhood OF
civilized nations, no power gave her a
warmer welcome than the American &C.
public. We extolled her energy, her in
genuty aud her enterprise, and hailed her
as the Omitted States of the East"
To. day VIC are face to face with the
hard fact that this young-old empire-old
in years and young with the vigor of new
civilization-is already proving formld :
abla rival to us in the markets of the world
and at cur own doors. The conditions Of
japanese labor are standing menace to
American labor and trade.
Japanese mating is now crowding out
cheaper kinds of Philadelphia carpets.
Japanese rugs, made in imitation Of
American patterns, are sold 10 large guam
titles in preference to American rugs OF
higher yalne. Brushes are sold at retail
IN Eastern cities for about the American
value of the manufactured brisiles.
American watchcase makers are selling to
Japan cases for excellent movements made
there for this market. There are forty
six cotton mills in japan with about 600,-
600 spindles. New mills are being erect
ed, and Japan threat ms TO become bold
and large competitor for the trade of the
world in cotton fabrics. The Japanese
use the latest improved American and
European machinery in this and other in-
dustries established by them. They begin
with mechanical appliances that are su-
perior to those found in seine American
mills.
There Is no use blinking a. the facts.
Some OF our manufacturing industries are
gravcly menaced by this rivalry of a coun-
try where skilled labor may be had at the
cost OF ten cents or fifteen cents day, or
less than one tenth of the cost OF such la.
Dor 10 our own country. To-day tens OF
thousands OF our laborers are idle. Our
markets are invaded, and The American
workman, like the American manufactur-
err, is the victim of an Oriental competitor
In whom rare skill and fine taste are
Joined with simplicity of domestic habits
which enables him to support life in COM
fort upon tenth of what 1t costs 10 do 10
| the United States.
This competition will grow keener and
keener. Japan will not confne herself to
her present efforts. Her people are intro
| ducing a great variety OF manufacturing
industries, all using improved machinery,
and they are initiating the patterns anG
| inventions of the Western nations with
impunity, because there Is no protection
for either the patents or trade marks Of
| foreigners in Japan. The importance OIL
this condition of things cannot be overes
timated Unless VIC are prepared to SEE

falling to the level of japanese labor, W,

There is no doubt but that every one
has had at some time a desire to visit
Florida, the "Land of Flowers" and that
many have been deferred from so doing
by the thought of long and liresome
railroad journey, great expense, aud q
thousand and one other objections. These
have been overcome by the Inauguration
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
personally conducted tours to Jackson
vile. A special train of unexcelled
equipment makes the run from New York
to Jacksonville in thirty hours; tourist
agent ard chaperon accompany each tour
10 look after the comfort of passengers
While en- route and the low rates offered
bring the tours within the means of al.
most every one.
The next tour, allowing two weeks stay
in Florida, will leave New York and Phla
delpha on March 8, 1896. The rate, in
Guiding transportation, meals en- route,
and Pullman berth on special train, is

From an over-crooking of the elbow an
umbrella mending ''tourist" was brought
to the verge OF delirium tremens, last
Monday In this condition he meandered
to the Court House and commanded Sher-
iff Poulson in a loud voice, to open the
jail doors and let him pass in. The Sheriff
put the "tourist" out of doors. Presently,
however, the half crazy man again showed
up and began hammerng the door for ad
mission, and again he was driven away.
Thereupon he laid himself down upon the
comfortless pave outside, and swore by
the new comet that be would lie there 40
til the Republican party made him its
candidate for President.
Chief OF Police John Ramsey hove 10
sight al this juncturc, and upon his giving
the man some advice he was pitched into.
The fellow mistook his man, however, fer
officer Ramsey isn't 80 much of parson
as be looks to be. He overpowered the
'touristn in jiify, and for three minutes
quiet was restored. At the end of that
time the rum crazed individual drew a
knife of prodigious blade from his boot
leg and made murderous lunge at Sheriff
Poulson. The Sheriff is very nimble Of
foot, he having once been dancing mas
ter at Head Quarters, and he skipped 10
one side so quick that the fellow was
amazed. The Sheriff and officer Ramsey
then grabbed the wretch by the longest
rag that hung from his trousers aud pulled
him behind the iron bars.
But he was ripe for scrap, and he
hadn't beef. Jailed half an hour, on COM
mitment of Justice Kline, before one of
the fiercest fights that was ever seen was
going on in the Jail between the "tourist"
and the u.about-the. Jail who carries
in victuals for the prisoners. The battle
cry was heard by the Sheriff, who was in
his Office discussing with ex-Assemblyman
Joseph L. Chamberlain, the probable re-
suit of their folly in not bidding for all of
the recent government gold loan, instead
of only halt Of it, and these two hurried
down into the Jail. The "tourist," who
was making an easy chair of the fellow,
by sitting upon him, was pulled off and
locked into a cell.
There be set to work TO destroy an ircD
bedstead and succeeded fairly well at it.
All who came near his cell door were
struck at by the mailman, and it was i'm
possible to pacify him. Finally the Sheriff
sent for blacks smith VIM. f. Green, who
fastened him with chain to the floor.
After this was done, the poor wretch who
had remained quite passive during the
operation, arose and shouted out; "I'm
crazy Pm crazy ~ Then he disrobed
himself entirely. BY next morning he was
much improved, and later in the week
came 10 his normal condition.
The knife that the Sheriff lodged so
slick is still in that officials custody. He
thinks Of keeping il aud using it as corn
knife when he goes TO farming. We for
got to say in the proper place, that the
mailman grabbed Mr.. Chamberlin's arm
in his teeth while being put into the cell.
but the thickness of Joe's overcoat sleeve
saved an unnecessary breaking of the
skin, aud the report that he is going to
the Pasteur institute for treatment is prob
ably joke. Neither will he send the
