lion submitted TO Republicans.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.--The Repub-
lican senators were to-day informed.
through their subcommittee, Of the pro-
position of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
yer Republican coalition for the assign

among the Republican senators as TO the
advisability OF accepting the proposition,
and ii is possible that a Republican
caucus will be necessary to reach final
conclusion.

It's principles. No one can at this time
forecast with certainty what would be
the proper course for our party to pur-
sue in convention assembled three years
hence. Therefore, there is but one safe
course. 1t seems to us. for every true
Populist to pursue at this time-namely,
TO do all in his power to impress our
principles upon the country, and to bring
recruits into the party, and to stand
ready when the peoples representatives
meet In convention to do what then
seems wisest and best to accomplish the
ends for which we are all striving.

Some Points for our New Mayor
and Council to Consider.

Some Points for our New Mayor
and Council to Consider.
On Feb. II, the financial report of the
Borough was published and in the sum-
mary is found an item of 81 as having
been received from licenses. In the
issue of the week following, Feb. "a,
will be found the report of the town
ship committee Egg Harbor comprised
of Messrs Walter Fjfeld, Samuel A.
Smith and John Blackmap. In their
report they have an item of $175 re-
ceived from licenses. 1t is stated that
only $50 of this amount comes directly
from residents of the townships. The
balance $145 coming from outside
parties and, being placed to the credit OF
the taxpayers, thus tightening their
burden to that extent. Why not COun-
ellis adopt system of taxing the DIFF
ferent business on the principal of our
neighbor? There might be a difference
in rate between home tradesmen and
foreign, although this is not the case in
the township. Their own wagons pay
the same rate as those coming from
other places. Some opposition was
made at first but it soon subsided, after
the committees report was made pub
lie, and their recommendations became
known. The people of our adjoining
territory realize the manner in which
they are represented and expressed their
appreciation by reelecting Samuel A.
Smith again to fill his own unexpired
term.

The Chi1drens, Home society.

The New Jersey Childrens' Home
Society at Trenton, Rev. M. I. Lamb,
State Superintendent, SO far this year
is doing larger work than ever before
and has on file, fifty applications for
children.
The local board of Pleasantville is
coming in for a share of the work, hav-
ing received two applications in Decem-
Der, two in January and one in March,
the latter from a family living in a town
in Pennsylvania, who obtained all this
information about the society from
reading the articles in the Pleasantville
Press.
An answer has been received to every
appeal which the local board, has had
in the Press, and we feel very grateful to
the editor who kindly gave us space
gratuitously, thus helping in the work.
The society does not place children in
homes in any other state, but refers
them to the State Superintendent ofthat
State in which they reside or if society
is not organized there assigns them in
some other way so that some homeless
waif can obtain good home with
good Christian family. The President
of our local board, Miss Bella M. Chees-
man will gladly furnish information in
regard to all the work of the society.
