Trenton, April SIT was definitely
decided yesterday that the New Jersey
National Guard will take part in the
parade in New York on the occasion of
the dedication OF the Grant monument.
Major General Plume will issue an or
der to that effect in day or two. Some
of the railroads, including the Erie
and Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern, have agreed to carry the men free,
and it is expected that the other rail-
roads will follow suit. The subordinate
officers have already taken steps to se-
cure rations. This expense will have
to be borne by the various companies.

The only thing that the late legislature
accomplished for Gloucester county was to
set strip of franklin township land that
paid $3.50 in county taxes year over into
Cumberland county. Nine Democrats,
seven Republicans and two Prohibitions
went too, SO what is left of us must get
along the best way we can. Let us be
thankful, however, that the requirements
of the bosses who rule us now, didn't re-
quire that the county of Gloucester be at
tached to Camden. We have that to be
thankful for.

On Monday last municipal elections were
held in the big cities and towns in Ohio,
Illinois, and other Western States and
silver was made an issue all along the line
President McKinley's home, as well as
Cincinnati, and Ohio generally went Demo
cratic. Chicago went Democratic by So
600 plurality, electing Carter Fl. Harrison,
Mayor. Congressman Bailey, in commune
eating his views on the result said =
''Of course, we all understand that local
questions may have ii fuenced the result
in some places, but the Democratic success
is SO general as to justify us in believing
that 1t was produced by some general
cause. That general cause, in my iudg
ment, is the widespread disappointment
over the fact that Mr.. McK,nley's election
has not brought the prosperity which the
Republican managers promised the people" !"

Republican papers report that Arch
bishop Ireland is in Washington having
numerous conferences with President Nc
Kinley and his cabinet in regard TO the
distribution of offices and other matters Of
political policy. This must be the object,
for the Archbishop is hardly trying to con-
vert the President to Roman Catholicism
or the President endeavoring TO make a
Methodist of the Archbishop. 1t would
appear to be crisis when the American
Protective Association should strain every
nerye to prevent the republics overthrow,
the annexation of the United States to
Rome, the doa- ination of the Jesuits and
all that sort of thing. Why are all the
patriotic societies as dumb as oysters in
this terrible emergency ?

What miserable mess the Republican
legislature made of the Constitutional
Amendments. They were going to do
something at State constitution mending,
but their effort actually petered out to
nothing. The real objects desired fell
between the manipulators in the Legislature
and the bosses without. The Judiciary and
Biennial sessions amendments were killed,
and at the special election to be held next
September the people will simply decide
whether or not they want women to vote
at school elections; to prohibit gambling
either through lottery or book-makiDg,
pool-selling ETC., and making appOintees
by the Governor, whose confirmation has
been refused by the Senate, Ineligible for
ad Intern appointment.

From the debate on the Tariff in thu
House we quote Mr.. Bailey:
There is no disposition on the Demo
cratic side unduly to protract the debate OF
the tariff. If it can produce good results
as its authors proDbesy, the country is en-
titled to the benefits; if it fails, as fail il
will, you will not live to see the day wher
you can secure a patient audience with the
people for the doctrine that you can make
them prosperous by taxing them"
And yet this is the Republican platform
in nutshell: The greater the taxation the
greater the prosperity.

The civil service law, which a Republi-
can Congress enacted for the purpose Of
keeping Republicans in Office, is pIagueing
the new administration near to desperation.
The heads of departments find that they
cannot even appoint their own private
Secretaries, and they are dong their work
themselves in preference to asking the
Civil Service Commission to assign them
a confidential clerk. The President and
his Cabinet have held solemn conferences
to devise method out of the difficulty and
even the continuance Of the law itself is
threatened. Every body favors rigid test
to ascertain fitness of applicants for posi-
tions, but every American citizen must be
opposed to a system that creates an Office
holding aristocracy. The system works
well in monarchical governments, but it is a
misfit in the Great Republic

of the session as though the Republicans
would have to do their vote buying next
Fall before daylight in the morning But
at a late hour, it was found that the law
took effect Immediately, and it was not
considered desirable to have its workings
disclosed at elections to be held this

The House passed it as amended, and it
went to the Senate during the closing

who is so proud of his States prosper

partisanship and talk about It, In other
words, Mr. Breidenthal Is too good a
Kansan to be good Populist.
City Journal.
Mr. Breidenthal has had charge Of
the Bank Commissioners Office more
tnln four years and now has 1t in op-
Grafton under law of his own framing
and hence has a right to be proud of
the business condition of Kansas as seen
from his standpoint. BY the way, there
has never been more competent and
efficient State official in Kansas than
John w. Breidenthal He has rem
dered most satisfactory service to the
people of Kansas in general and also
to his party. II the Republican papers
and politicians had never found any
better reason for bowling about Populist
officials and their conduct than in the
Bank Commissioners department the
Peoples party would not have been
voted out Of Office, nor would there now
be any uneasiness in that direction.

his political conduct and his official

A Lie is Forever.

A little girl whom the Prairie Farmer
knows came in her night clothes very
early to her mother one morning, say
ing: which is the worse, to tell lie
or steal?"
The mother. taken by surprise, replied
that both were so bad she couldn't tell
which was the worse.
We'll" said the little one, I've been
thinking a good deal about it, and I've
concluded it's worse to lie than steal.
If you steal a thing you can take 1t
back, less you've eaten 1t, and If you've
eaten it you can pay for 1t. But"-and
there was look of awe in the little
face-"a lie is forever"

HEALTHY. HAPPY CHILDREN

Are those whose mothers have been,

woman in the world will fall short OF her
duty to her children IL she is worried
and Wearied with weakness and sickness
Most all irritable women are sick wo-
men. Most all melancholy, listleSs, Ian
guild women are sick women. Every
woman who will take the trouble to
notice, will find that at certain fixed
periods she is nervous, cross, irritable
and Respondent. Amy irregularity makes
the conditions worse. Even a well
woman ia less amiable than usual at
these times What can be expected from
a sick woman? When every movement
Is dreary drag, when the nerves are
all on edge in sympathy with the par
ticular ones affected-when 1t seems that
death were very much preferable to liv-
ing-what can a woman do for children
then?
It is every woman's duty to be well
and healthy. There is no reason why
she should be otherwise IL only she will
take proper care of herself and take

Louis XIV decorated the statue with the
Order of the Holy Ghost, possibly at
a moment when another set of spirit
had possession of him; and 1t is the
owner of nine handsome costumes be-
longing to different periods. On fete
days the boy is gorgeously clad; some
times In old French costumes, some
times in the uniform Of the Garde

not as curious as the rest. 1t is the
fashion for wealthy maiden ladies to fall

Unparalleled Corruption.

Without doubt the recent city cleo
tion at Augusta, Ca, was the most
openly corrupt one yet reported in this
country. In four wards the Walsh ne
groes took possession of the polling
places before daylight and when the
voting began each negro was given a
slip which upon presentation to the
Walsh treasurer was taken up and an
envelope containing a crisp $5 bill was
given out. These negroes gleefully re-
ceived the money and went about waV-
ing the money over their heads and
cheering for Walsh. This, together with
the delay in getting to the polls, crazed
the opposition negroes and they tore
off their badges and showed up with
Walsh badges. The dispatches state
that regular schedules of prices were
quoted and that the negro vote was
bought like cattle. When the farce was
over ex-United States Senator Patrick
Walsh had majority of the votes which
reached the ballot box. The election
was disgrace to Augusta, the State Of
Georgia and the nation. Such frauds,
If continued, will destroy popular gov
ernment.
