character Of any of the candidates is be
yond reproach, and we are glad that mud
singing has no part in the contest as il
would be no credit to anyone.
1t looks very much as if the Republi-
cans Of this township will sink their diff
ferences and present solid front to the
opposition. In 1890 only 25 straight Re-
publican votes were polled in this town
ship. The party leaders awoke to their
peril, buried their differences and elected
an entire board of township officers, send
ing Republican freeholder to Toms River
and secured the county collectorship, and
all this was accomplished in two short
years. Now the test comes. Have we
elevated men to leadership who have the
interest of the party at heart? Or were
they only seeking to crafty selfish am
billions? We believe our leaders will
stand by the old party.

Mount Holly in I777.

Passages from the diary of Or. Abb
gence Waldo, Of Connecticut, relating to
the doings of the American army during
the Revolutionary war, have just been
published. Under date of Nov. 10, l777,
he paid visit to Mount Holly, Of which
he says:
"Mount Holly-so call'd from little
Mount nigh the towns a compact &
Pleasant Village-having great proper
ton of handsome women therein. Near
this Town, in a Wood, a Hermet has
dwelt this 81 years, living on Bread and
water. His bed is hole dug in the
ground about one foot and a half below
the surface, and cover'd at pleasure with
board-over this is built small bark
hut barely big enough for man to set
up in. When he goes to bed he crawls
into his hut and at the further end slips
into his hole which he calls his grave,
draws the Board over and goes to sleep.
He crawls night and morning on his
hands and knees about two rods to a par
ticular tree, to pray. He says he was
warned of God in a particular Dream
when he first came to America to take
this course of Life. He has many Latin
and other Books in his lonely Cell-and
is said to write considerably. He kisses
every mans hand that visits him, and
thankfully accepts what is gave him ex-
cept Money, which he refuses. He says
he shall come out purifyed & live like
other folk if he continues in this state till
he is 80. Much is said about the reason
of his doing pennance in this manner
but chiefly that he murdered his own
sister-that he klll'd Gentleman in a
Duel while an officer IN the French Ser
vice. He was in the German Service also
among his countrymen the Germans"
DIR. Waldo notes that on Nov. 20 he and
DR.. L. (whose name he does not give)
went to Bristol Sin the Evening, when l
had my Shoes and Silver Buckles stole

the institution was ever visited by burg
lars. That was in 1866. Joseph W. At

secure any booty. The iron box CON

The attempt of Japan to maintain a
mint ratio that was different from the
market ratio was failure and resulted
in denudiug the circulation of gold. BIZ
metallism had failed in Japan as else
where.
The decline in the value Of money had
in Japan the effect it always has had Of
robbing the laborer and enriching the
capitalist. The miserable pittance paid
to the wretched operatives must at no
distant period lead TO a social revolution
unless the rate Of wages be considerably
improved.
In 1879 a family consisting Of five
members of the lower middle class could
subsist on 20 yen u year. In 1898 the cost
of living had risen TO $50 yen year.
During period of 22 years the silver
yen declined very nearly one-half in its
gold value, about two-fifths in its power
to buy merchandise and about one.fourth
in its power to buy labor.
The gold value Of the exports from
the United States and England to Japan
was over &1s, 600, 900 in 1892 and nearly
$3I, 200, 900 in 1896, while the imports
of the two from Japan were over $685.

ch..p Confederate Money.

A southern firm advertises 10 varieties
of Confederate bills for % cents, also a
rare collection of so different bills and
shinplasters for only 81" Apparently
the firm has millions of dollars worth
of this money for sale cheap.
What pity that our old fogy consti-
tuition is in the wayi But for it the
cheap money advocates in any state
where they have majority could buy
up this whole Confederate outfit and
start in business at once. The amount
of prosperity and happiness that could
be extracted from this old paper mine
would depend upon the size tpopulation)
of the state fortunate enough to secure
the monetary outfit
For instance, it would probably give
Nevada more than 81, cooper capita and
would at once transform her from one
of the poorest to one Of the wealthiest
of states Instead of sagebrush and
prizefghts she would TEEN with gran
aries and warehouses. Down with a
constitution which prevents state home
rule in monetary affairs and the mani
fold blessings of cheap money!
