First Message In Thirty Years From a
 Republican Governor.
 TRENTON, Jan 13.-The opening of the one hundred and twenty first New Jersey legislature thrilled the hearts of Republic ans. It was the first legislature in 30 years o receive an annual message from a Re- publican governor.
 The desks of the senators and assembly men were weighted down with flowers sent by their admirers.
 The organization of both houses was eff fected without a ripple, the officers agreed upon by the Republicans being elected with the mere formal opposition of Dem ocratic candidates.
 The message of Governor Griggs and the report of the commission appointed a year ago to investigate the question of taxation, particularly railroad taxation, were pro sented- ..s..
 Just what action will be taken on the taxation report cannot be foretold yet. The Hudson members would like to have some thing which would treat their county more hberally, but may make up their minds to be satisfied.
 President Williams made an innovation in the senate by naming his committees at the opening session. The result of this was the immediate introduction of a lot oi bills which heretofore had been held back. Senator Voorhees, introduced the constitu, tional amendments passed by the last legis lature and believes that they all will pass

To Abolish Grade Crossings.

ALBANY, Jan. 13.-At the suggestion of the railroad commissioners a general grade crossing bill will be introduced in the leg islature. It is to be of a generally sweep ing character and will provide that all steam surface roads hereafter built must be either above or below grade at public crossings. New streets or roads laid out by cities, towns or villages must be either above or below any railroad grade 1t may have to cross. The board of railroad com missioners are to designate whether cross ings are to be above or below grade, and their decision is to be final Any person aggrieved ar the decision may appeal to the appellate division of the supreme court. Relative to existing roads, upon the petition of officers of any municipality the commission, after hearing, shall deter mine whether there shall be change to avoid a grade crossing.

USED THE NEWSPAPERS.

There is considerable rivalry this
year between the Barnum- Bailey and
Ringing circus. These great shows
have crossed each others path on sew
eral occasions. The Barnum- Bailey
people got ahead of the Ringlings in
getting control of all the billboard adj
Yertising at Minneapolis. The Barnum
advance agent got everything in the
shape of billboards before the Ringing
man reached the scene. When Ring
ling's man-Coxey-arrived, he found
that he was cut off from all billboards
and similar advertising. But Coxey
was equal to the emergency. He went
to the newspapers, stated his dilemma
and said he wanted more space than
usual upon such occasions, and that he
had got to hold up his advertising end
of the great show II 1t cost a fortune.
Barnum & Bailey's man posted his
gaudy colors on the sides of barns, on
fences, and on about everything that
was ''getatable," and Ringling's went
right to advertising in the newspapers.
The result of depending on the news
papers alone for circus advertising has
been a gratifying success, not only to
Mr.. Coxey. who found himself in
what he thought was a dilemma, but
to the newspaper men themselves.
Ringling's vast circus tent capable of
seating its thousands, was not able to
accommodate the crowd that sought
| admission to the evening performance.
People had to be turned away because
there was absolutely no room for them
inside the tents. When Mr.. Coxey was
| in Watertown he stated to Public Opin-
| ion that he should watch the result in
| Minneapolis with a good deal of ankle
ty. The Ringlings looked to him to
| do a good job in the advertising bust
ness for them. He had never before
been cut off from the use of billboards,
| and his dependence upon newspaper
| advertising alone was something
| wholly new to him for circus purposes,
but he remarked that he should at
| tempt to be equal to the emergency by
| the liberal use of the newspaper coll
umns. He has trimuphed and is to
be congratulated upon the success of
| his advertising Standardization

TRUTH ALWAYS WINS.

We only advertise TRUTHS and
hence our SUCCESS. We advertised
last week THREE bargains in pianos
and all We're sold.
This week we offer THREE more up
right pianos at $125.OO, $4,000 and s155.-
90. REMEMBER we warrant every
thing we sell, and can always be found

not the case if you buy of unknown
agents" and wanderers, who handle
unknown makes of pianos.

to reflect little before purchasing.
We have been in business in Texas for

NOTES.
REMEMBER any of the pianos we
offer this week at $125.OO, $4,000 and

YELLOW JOURNALISM.

The enormous Calculations attained
by the so-called sensational newspa-
pers are clearly indications of popu-
lar demand for sensationalism in the
press. The people would not buy these
papers unless they wanted them, and
constant increase of circulation
points to an ever widening circle of
those who prefer the froth to the SOL
ids. However much we may decry
the effects of sensatiopalism, we can
not close our eyes to the fact that a
demand for it exists, and that the sup
ply will be in evidence just as long
as the demand continues. The Amer
lean public will have what it wants;
therefore, the great share of the blame
for the prevailing blight of yellow
journalism" should rest upon the pub
lie, and not upon the publishers, who
are in business to make money by sup
plying an article for which there is a
large demand. yellow Journalism" is,
in reality, a distinct branch of Jour-
nalistic enterprise, appealing to a GER
tain class of readers not reached by
the legitimate newspapers. True
journalism suffers in a great measure
by seeming contact with the yellow
variety, and this will be the case I'M
til the lines are so sharply drawn be-
tween the real newspaper and its per-
verted offspring that there win be no
nearer relationship than now exists
between the monthly magazine and the
country weekly.-Newspaperdom.
