New Jersey to succeed Frederick T. Ere
linghuysen on the latter's election TO the
United States Senate. On june 25, 1869,
he was appointed Secretary Of the Navy
by President Grant and served in that
capacity until March, 1871. In the fol-
lowing year he was elected to the Forty
sixth Congress and was reelected in

tribute to the soldiers who fell in the
great struggle for the preservation of the
Union:
.sThus have sought to illustrate my
friends, the inspiring truth, that these
gallant soldiers whose monument you
rear to-day, yielded up their lives not
only in defence Of our government and
laws, and for those liberties which we
received from our fathers and mean to
transmit unimpaired to our children,
but that they were the champions also
of freedom and progress throughout the
world and their names are written on
the rolls of fame as martyrs in the great
war of civilization, in the cause of free
dom and the rights of man."

PATCHWORK ROADS.

The Nelcs of Salem complains that the
Massachusetts highway commissioners do
not devote enough attention to building
continuous roads, but put down short
patches here and there. If the good
stretches are interpreted with poor ones,
''the teamster cannot draw any heavier
loads with two horses than before the
days of State highways
And the people of Morris county also
have just cause of complaint because of
the same short sighted policy on the part
of some of the Freeholders

IMPORTANT PRIMARIES.

We call the attention of our readers to
the call for the Republican primaries.
published at the head of our columns,
and would respectfully urge all Republi-
can voters to attend and elect delegates
who may be relied upon to nominate first
class men for the offices of Surrogate and
Assemblymen. These offices should be
filed by men of the highest worth and
integrity. Especial care should be taken
in the nomination of candidates for the
Assembly, because these, if elected, will
likely be reelected next year, when a
United States Senator is to be chosen.
Some unworthy aspirants are already in
the field, drawn thither by the oppor-
tunities which such an election will
afford of gratifying their mercenary de-
sires. These men should not receive the
slightest recognition from the Republi-
can party.

THE following from the Kansas City
Journal may be of interest to Populist
Potter, of Port Dram "a practical
joker introduced the following platform
at the Morris County Populist Conven-
ton, and then was forced to flee for his
life:
Whereas, In spite of our frequent and
positive declarations that the price of
wheat is regulated by the price of silver,
and that the price of farm products
would go down if Mckinley was elected,
wheat is going skyward, and all other
farm products have gone up in like
proportion; and
Whereas, Thisis hell; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we go to raising more
corn"
The school commissioners of Hoboken,
in order to curry favor with the German
vote, have made the study of the German
language obligatory in the public schools.
This course leads the Jersey City Journal
to aptly remark: every dollar expend-
ed in maintaining this department in a
public school is Incorporated. The
school officials should loose no time in
eliminating this Objectionable feature,
and failure on the part of the local
Board to remedy this evil should be
acted upon by the State Board, which
has power to withhold State aid from
any. school district which fails to main
tain proper public schools.

WILLIAM A. EDDY of Bayonne, the
kite expert, has announced that he can
foretell changes in temperature by means
of his kites. Mr.. Eddy sends up two
kites of his own make to an altitude of
fifteen or eighteen hundred feet. AT
night a lantern fixed to the ground line
at the lower kite makes it possible to de-
termine the altitude exactly. To the
upper kite is fastened registering Their
mometer. When this thermometer shows
difference in temperature Of ten or
more degrees from the one on the ground,
Mr.. Eddy says he can foretell exactly
the weather conditions for the succeed
ing forty-eight hours. If less than ten
degrees difference is shown his predic-
tions are approximate.

The contrast in the condition Of
the country between the time of
Lincoln's first Inauguration and
that Of President Mckinley today lie
said to be vividly portrayed in an
article by Stephen Fiske for the
March Ladies' Home Journal. In
telling of when Lincoln was First
Inaugurated" Mr.. Fiske graphi-
cally describes Mr.. Lincoln's jour
ney from Springfield, Illinois, to
Washington, and the incidents of
the Inauguration and the attendant
festivities. There were grave fears
that Lincoln would be assassinated
as he rode in the inaugural pro-
cession to the Capitol, and every
possible precaution was taken for
his safety. Mr.. Fiske will recall
the safeguards placed around the
President. Special officers and
detectives in citizens clothes were
stationed in numbers among the
crowds that lined the sidewalks,
and sharp shooters occupied posi-
tions of vantage on housetops, ETC.,
along the route of parade. The
military escort of the President
elect was heavily armed, ready to
promptly meet any hostile demon
strations, and the crowds were kept
a distance from the Presidents car.
riage-so far that they could not
distinguish Mr.. Lincoln from Mr..
Buchanan, who rode beside him.
The police were instructed to arrest
all persons making opprobrious
threats against Mr.. Lincoln, or ut
tering disloyal sentiments. The
tension was great and the whole
country was in a state Of suppressed
excitement w, A. Pinkerton. son
of Lincoln's personal body guard,
was on hand at McKinley's in
auguration today with special
guard of Pinkerton detectives to
protect the new president from any
kind of an attack.

ONLY FAKE TEACHERS EN-
COURAGE DANCING

SO0AA<1 III <<<AAt OA&s0
School Supt. Williams of Grant
c.,uuty, publishes the following
very sensible letter in the Canyon
City News, which will be of inter-
est to many of our readers:
We desire to make brief discus
sion of a subject which has long
held place in our mind. 1t is
intended to do only good, and is in
s. ired by the proposal. which we
have heard, to give a children's
masquerade ball in the near future.
We do not wish to go on record,
however, US opposing the pleasant
pastime of dancing by those who
have right to indulge in that
amusement. Parents who have the
educational interests of their child
rem at heart, should not allow them
to attend dances until they have
passed beyond school age, and their
school work is over. The reasons
which may be urged for this are
numerous. They have a lifetime in
which to dance, if they so desire,
whereas, the time in which most of
them can go to school is limited, and
should be improved to the best ad-
vantage. Teachers who have work
ed in school where any consider
able number of the pupils attend
balls, will all testify to its ruinous
effect on the work. The dance
forms the entire topic of converse
ton and interest for about ten days
before and after They often stay
out few days beforehand to pre-
pare, and are absent one or two
days to recuperate. We do not
think that we overdraw the case
when we say that they lay awake
rights, thinking of the good time
ahead. The effect is at once appar-
ent Interest in school work is lost,
lessons are neglected, and discipline
is irksome; the cause of education
has received another blow. There
is a physiological reason which may
also be urged against this practice.
Childhood is the time in which ma
lures vital forces are all directed
and needed to grow up strong and
healthy minds and bodies. Hence
those forces should be given a
chance to act properly and not be |
wasted in late hours and dissipation. |
The place for growing children,
when night comes, is in bed, and
that at an early hour. Parents who
doubt the truth of these statements
have only to ask the physician'sa ad-
vice on the same points. Iffurther /
proof is needed, ask the children /
themselves. They are more reason
able than you imagine, and under
stand full we'll the evil effects of the
dance on their school work. Ifcor-
nered, most of them will own it up.
Your restraining influence and ad-
vice is all they need to give up these
ideas until their school work is over.
In conclusion let us say that if tits
necessary to allow mere babes, and
other pupils in their early teens to
attend every dance that is given,
then we might as well close the
public school at once, it is only a
waste Of good money and misdirect-
ed energy.
