NEW-JERSEY'S ELECTION MIDDLE.

For legislative purposes the cities Of New-Jer-
sey are divided into classes. Thus the first class
consists only of Newark and Jersey City, be-
cause the population of each is over 100000.
Most of the municipal hws of recent years
based on this classification, so that cities of the
first class for example. are operating under stat
u,cs that do not apply 10 other municipalities,
and so on How far this principle may be e
gally extended is yet an unknown quantity, but
Justices Garrison and Gummere, speaking for
the Supreme Court of the State, have just de-
cided that it cannot be properly recognized in
the matter Of fixing time for holding elections
The question before the Court was as to the con-
sttutl0nallty Of a law passed last month abol-
ishing spring elections in first-class cities and
docreelng that hereafter they should be held at
the same time and place as the general elections
Legislation of this kind was common in New
Jersey. Under It's charter the local elections in
Newark were for many years held in October
but Democratic Legislature changed the date
to April That act not questioned in the
courts, but a similar one affecting Boards Of
Freeholders was. and the Court Of Errors and
Appeals sustained the law. This years legisa
ton abolishing spring elections in Newark and
Jersey City was drafted in accordance with the
decision IN the Freebooter case, but, neverthe
less II has been brushed aside void and Of no
effect by the Supreme Court, because it was
not made applicable to all the cities of the State
The Courts decision apparently means that cleo
tons must be held in Newark and Jersey City
on Tuesday, April 13 In Newark neither side
was prepared for this. and both are equally at
a disadvantage. Across the river in Jersey City
the advantage IS with the Democrats, as they
had their nominations made and all the prelim-
inaries arranged before the Court Issued lis
mandate, while the Republicans are only now
pulling themselves together to prepare for the
fray
The AnH-Spring Election bill was pressed
against the advice Of Franklin Murphy, chair
man Of the Republican State Committee, and
other wise leaders, but crying spilled milk
will do no good now. Republicans In both cit

By Mrs. SOPHIE SIMON LOEB. "-.

THAT THE stage is incentive for good or evil
i according to the influence of any particular
production has long been recognized fact
This theory has been widely discussed in the civilized
world and especially in America Reformers are loud
in their protests claiming that the stage is
ofnstitutng false impressions of humanity, showing
life in it's wrong phases, building up imaginative
brain, and thing to be entirely done away with.
Socialists present the happy medium of doing away
with evil influences and learning only the better ones,
while fanatics vary in their opinions. But must
admit that the stage has influence and whe ther
moral otherwise must be decided by the Individual
Such being the playwrights construct their pro-
auctions with that aim in view
Each nationality having it's individual character
istics is depicted accordingly For instance the Irish
for his wit the American for his ingenuity, and
the Frenchman for his extreme polittness.
How has the Jew been treated on the stage? Ac-
cording to his characteristics? Or first might ask
what ere his characteristics If his chief traits

then the Jew has been we'll represented the stage

On the other hand has he been justly portrayed Let
go back into the history Of the Jew, and we will
find that driven from all parts of the globe, he was
forced to garb Of protection, and for fiji
ture defence to accumulate sufficient income for him
self and people, not knowing when he would again
be driven forth. This being the he was regarded
as selfish and penurous, and the sole possessor OF
rascally traits. Thus it that he pictured.
Even the immortal Shakespeare was against him in
his dramas, portrayng him almost fendish in his
greed and vilainy. In the Merchant of Venice =
Shvlock the JEWS made to utter the following words:
'Why, there, there, there; there! diamond gone,

curse never fell upon nation till now never felt

Thus Shakespeare dramatzed Jew. And why?
Because IN his time the ew outcast, perse-
cuted anu distressed Everything against him.
He the despised of all people, and verytt hon

would his portrayal of him be the same? | venture
to predict to the contrary, and that nober and bet

created such furore. This is modern book of

A MISSIONARY MEDICINE.

Cleanliness begins within. If man isn't
clean inside, he is far from Goodness. A
constipated sinner is a stencil in the nostrils
of the Deity. A man whose food sours in
his stomach, and whose liver is leaden,
can't help looking at the world hatefully
with jaundiced eye, and conjuring up evil
thoughts in his tortured brain. Cleanli-
ness of person begets cleanliness of thought.
Cascarets, Candy Cathartic are the mis-
sionary medicine which purifies mems
bodies and minds. Pure, fragrant pala-
intestinal canal, stimulate the liver and
strengthen the bowels. Then a man enjoys
again feeling of charity and brotherly love
Tor his fellows and recommends others to
take Cascarets and be as happy as he.
