SICK OF THE REPUBLICANS.
Sweeping Victory for the Demo-
Gratis at Jersey City.

Jersey City, N. J., April 14.-The demo-
Gratis carried this city to-day by a ma
jority of 1900 votes. They elected Ferdi-
nand Heintz and Charles Boltwood to the
street and water board, the only city can
didates in nomination. The democrats
also carry eleven of the twelve wards
and elect seventeen of the eighteen al
dermen chosen. The new board of alder
men will be twenty democrats to five
republicans, the hold-overs being three
democrats and four republicans, the lat
ter including the alderman-at-large, who
is president of the board. The sweeping
result is attributed to public dissat atisfac-
tion with the republican city government.
Trenton, N. j., April 4.-Charter cleo

day, and as this is the presidential year,
considerable interest was taken in the re-
While the republicans, generally speak
ing, have been victorious all over the
state, nevertheless their majorities have
been cut down and they have lost in one
or two of the places where they felt per-
fectly safe.
Probably the hottest fight was in New
ark, where James NJ. Seymour headed
the democratic ticket and julius A. Leb-
kuecher the republican. The republicans
became dissatisfied with the Lebkuecher
administration, and openly said So but
Notwithstanding this his friends claimed
that he would be elected. The result was

of about 3,OO0.s The new board of works of
Newark which was also an important
factor in the contest, will stand two DEM
ocrats and two republicans. The republi-
cans elected thirteen out of sixteen al
dermanic candidates, and will control the
council.
In Trenton the republicans elected a
majority of the councilmen, and the citi-
zens tickets won the fight for the control
of the excise board, thereby taking 1t out
In Patterson the republicans elected
four aldermen, the democrats three and
the socialists one. The, election of the
socialist, Mcclure, in a ward which usu-
ally gives a democratic majority of be-
between 800 and 1000, was the surprise of
the day.
In Passaic the republicans were vieto-
rious, as they were also in Railway and
Elizabeth.
In FIemington the republicans have
elected the majority of their candidates,
but the vote for mayor resulted in a tie
and another election to fill that Office will
have to be held.
Orange is again placed in the democratic
column, as are also the towns of Beve-
dere and Englewood.
At Asbury Park an election was held
to vote on an appropriation for the con-
struction of a cycle path between that
place and Trenton. The proposition was
carried by an immense majority and the
citizens Of Asbury and thereabouts are
happy.

hanging since Sunday night and was be-
ginning to attract the buzzards and carrion
crows. The perpetrators of the hanging

Many horses, cattle and mules have died
during the past winter, all showing symp-

Recently a fine barn belonging to Doug

stances seemed to fix upon Douglass the
crime of incendiarism. He was decoyed
from his home on Sunday and carried in

Another theory Is that he had Incurred

For One Thing It Is the Best Month In

Everybody Knows, or Should Know,
What This One Thing Is.

1t is hard to agree with the calendar and
hail March as the first month of spring for
it is so bleak and boisterous and brings in its
train so many storms, that only poets con
meet the idea of gentle spring with such
month. But March is the best time of year
in which to prepare our systems for the
spring.
The indoor life of the winter tells upon us
severely There is loss of appetite, CON
fusion and giddiness in the head, sleepless
nights or else horrid dreams with waking
suddenly in alright There are noises in the
head and ears like tea-kettle singing or

headaches, black and light spots before the

DUPoNT'S SENATORIAL CONTEST



the Upper House.
WAsHINGToy, March 5.-The senate yes.
ter1ay took up the contest over the seat
claimed by Henry A. Dupont of Delaware.
Mr.. Dupont was present during the argu-
ments, resolution having accorded him
the privilege Of the chamber pending the
contest. Ex Senator Higgins, of Della
ware, who had the seat up to March 1,
1895, when the term claimed by Mr.. Du-
pont began, also was present. The argu-
ments were of strictly legal and tech
nical nature, there being no division on
the fact involved. After a protracted con
test in the Delaware legislature Dupont
received fifteen votes This was ma
iority of the twenty-ninc state senators
and Republicans who had a right under
ihe claim of Dupont to vote. But 1t was
not majority Of the thirty members who
actually did vote
The question turns on the right of Will
lam T. Watson to vote. Watson had been
duly elected state senator, and was there
after chosen speaker of the senate. On tho
death of Governor Marvel the speaker Of
the senate, Mr. Watson, succeeded as gov
ernor, and thereby it is claimed forfeited
his right to act as state senator and to vote
for United States senator If this claim
is sustained then twenty-nine votes CON
stituted the membership of the Delaware
legislature and the fifteen votes given to
Dupont gave him a majority. Senator
Mitchell of Oregon, chairman of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections opened
the argument in behalf of Dupont, but did
not finish his argument
The Cuban resolutions went to confer
ence as a result of a report from the com
mittee on foreign relations, and Messrs.
sherman, Morgan and lodge were named
as senate conferees.
The house spent the entire day fixing
the salaries of United States district at
torneys in the amendment to the legisla-
tive appropriation bill to abolish the fee
system. The law in its present form
fixes the maximum salary from fees at
| $4,000. In only one case was the recon-
mendation of the judiciary committee de-
/ parted from, the western district of Penn
| sylvania where the salary recommended
was increased from SO, 500 to $1,000. In thC
list of salaries fixed are the following
Connecticut $4,000; Delaware, $1,000; Dis
trict of Columbia, 5000; Florida, north
ern and southern, SO, 600; Maryland 50, 600
New Jersey $1,000; North Carolina, east
ern, $4,000; do, western, $4,000; Pennsyl
vania, eastern and western, 81, 900 each
