upon Mr.. Kelsey's own evidence, there
are many things that should be looked
into. The law requires certain returns to
be made. On this point the committees
report says: mo examination of the ac-
count has ever been made, and there is no
public record thereof. The only account
seems to be in the private books of the
Secretary of State There is no public
record to show whether any particular
corporation has paid its dues. The evi.
dence shows that the Secretary of State
mingled the moneys with his own, and to
use his own expression they were 'ab
sorbed in his personal affairs In fact,
they were all invested in his personal
business enterprise" While the suit to
recover fees is on it would please the peo-
pie of New Jersey to have thorough prob
ing into all the acts of Mr.. Kelsey, and
it would be perfectly proper to make in
quiry whether an official has the right tc
"absorb in his personal affairs" money
which belongs to the state, and it would
also be refreshing to see at least an en-.
deavor to secure from the ex-secretary an
accounting of the profits received from in
vestment of state money and to have de-
cision of the courts whether the profits be
long to him or to the state

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

A Philadelphian who applied for mar
rage license in Camden and declined to
answer the questions officially propounded
to him was refused license, and he pro-
poses to test the marriage license law in
the courts. The man is doubtless dummy
for the marriage-mill clergymen in Cam
den, whose profitable traffic in indiscrimi-
nate marriages is materially reduced by
the new law --Newark Ad0eytiSey
The wages of tin plate workers have
been advanced 80 per cent. This adj
vance applies to 10000 hands. The an
nouncement is made at Pittsburg that the
employers have conceded these higher
wages because "the improved condition Of
business warrants the advance" These
are facts that tell eloquently of the better
ment of times. incidentally it is noted
that here is an industry employing 10000
American workmen at labor that, before
the original Nc Kin1ey tariff, was all done
in Wales.
The Democratic Senators who made
such violent effort to cast aspersions on
the bill and the Republican party with
reference to the sugar schedule have met
an ignominious failure The bill, as it
stands, is generally satisfactory, and can
not be successfully charged with favorit-
ism toward the Sugar Trust, and should
the conference restore absolutely the
House rates, as many believe it will yet
do, the bill will be looked upon as the
most thoroughly satisfactory and com
plete in this and other features of any
tariff measure which has passed congress
in many years.-State Gazette

Revolution in
Bicycle Business

A break in Bicycle prices was in
evitable. Selling two Continentals
for the price of one Monarch, of
which it was the equal in all respects
except gilt name-plate, gradually
opened peoples eyes. Throw
ingaway $50 for a name on a name
plate became less and less amusing.
We ordered the Continentals by the
thousand and insisted on highest
standards Of quality and finish.
They made their way and are hold
ing their place because the wheels
are sold at their actual value, lop-
ping off all extras consequent to ex-
elusive agencies.

LAST week there was an atrocious as
sault and battery committed in Medford,
in which one man stabbed his brother in
seven places. That the result did not
prove fatal was not because of lack of eff
fort on the part of the assailaut. Up to the
present time the would-be murderer has
not been arrested and those who were
searching for him relinquished their eft
forts because the wounded brother did not
want anything done in the matter. The
latter has no voice in this case, in truth if
the reports can be substantiated he should
be arrested for illegal relations with an
other mans wife. The community is en-
titled to protection without regard to the
wishes of an individual, and the law
should be enforced not only as a punish
ment to the offender but as a warning to
others. OF course if the wounded brother
is averse to prosecution he would be an
unwilling witness, but there are others
who know of the affair, and the entire
crowd can be arrested and held. not only
for the benefit of justice, but as a relief to
the community in which they live and to
which they are no valuable addition. The
assailant has been out of prison but a
short time and to allow him to go free to
further commit lawless acts will be an
outrage. 1t is to be hoped the authorities
will take hold of this case in vigorous
manner

THE meek acquiescence of ex-Secretary
of State Kelsey in the desire to have the
legality of his retention of fees tested, is
in marked contrast with his activity
around the State House when Assembly
man Wildes' resolution was before the
Legislature. Mr.. Kelsey did not then
openly express any great Willingness for
investigation.
