AND SO then, here cometh worried
contemporary with the small remark that
"cne of our contemporaries is to follow
in our wake with a series of articles
made up largely from the same source as
those published in this paper" There is
story told of fox and some sour.
But then, why need we tell this, when it
is necessary only to say that the series of
six articles now being reprinted by said
contemporary from clippings from the
Norris Republican, the complete files of
which are the property of the CHRONICLE,
having been presented by Mrs. F. L.
Lundy, covers but small part of the com
plete history which is now being pub
lished in the CHRONICLE, and the articles
mentioned are not included in the

the articles will continue indefinitely
through the fall and winter issues of this
paper, covering the history of fire organ
izations in Morristown from 1897 to the
present time, and when completed will

Harmnnr and Offices.

We stated our belief very positively
yesterday that the behavior of hon.
Joseph B. Foraker, one OF the Senators
from Ohio, in opposing the appointment Of
Hon. Bellemy storer TO be Assistant Sec
retary of State, IL not only defensible but
commendshle- admitting, OF course, that
politics is an honorable American occupa-
ton, to which any man may properly give
his best gifts. A political leader does not
necessarily need to punish his enemies, but
msnifestly, If he is going TO look out for
himself land surely no one else can be de
pended upon to look out for hihl he must
promote and solidify his friends and take
equal pains that his enemies do not promote
and solidify themselves.
These contentious now seem almost
prophetic. 1t is announced that Presi-
dent Mckinley has determined not to
appoint, Mr.. stOrer to any position at
home, because that course would be so
clearly in contravention of MIR. Fora ker S
wishes. We are told further that Sena-
tor Mason, of Illinois, met with no sue
cess whatever upon a recent visit 10 the
White Eouse in the interest of some de
serving and patriotic, if not needy, con-
stituent, in urging a candidate who lacked
the Endorsement of Senator Cullom. You
must all agree among yourselves" Mr..
Mckinley said in substance, land then
that Senator Davis, of Minnesota, oh
1ects 20 the appointment OF ex-Gov. WILL
lam r. Merriam, OF that State, as am
bassador to Germany, and that Mr.. Mer-
riam, therefore, cannot hope to succeed.
This general purpose on the part OF the
President to insist that party factions shall
be harmonized and that all OF the backing
of q state delegation is not too much FOR
an acceptable candidate to possess. TN
phasizes the very point that we have made,
namely, that, just as a political leader,
whether he is President, Senator. CT
precinct worker, cannot hope TO build
himself up except by surrounding himself
with all the advantages which his own
power gives him to hestOw, SO he cannot
hope to maintain his supremacy except 10y
carefully turning down those who would
do him injury by going TO the length in
some cases OF using his own assistance to
bring about his own undoing

so much money on the security he put up

How 70 Get the News.

IL occurs to us to suggest to the various
news gatherers just now present in this
town, professional and amateur, that there
is a very fine means of learning, perhaps
not from the President but from u.ese
rather near him, with pretty fair accuracy
all about appointments past, present and
TO come. Candidates for office cannot be
expected to disclose the exact cilcum-
stances which surround their possible fail
ures or possible successes; so that anxious
inquirers, whether they are undertaking to
write out the news or are merely standing
by and wondering why their own particu-
lar office doesn't come their way pretty
soon, must bring into play their best fac
ulties of comparison. How DO the candi-
dates, successful and unsuccessful, behave
themselves What do their symptoms ii
dicate? II is very important TO observe
them closely. We will state the reason
why.
Dom Jack Gowdy announced, for example,
1istb lc was W Dc OoASui 6ShSi.h " MS
Many doubts upon this pcint we're express
ed. All adept in such matters declared
that Farmer Gowdy would surely secure
this desirable appointment il he would
shave his whiskers off and agree never 10
raise them again, and il he would also
habiiuate himself TO the soft embraces of
the necktie There seemed still to be
some doubt about Dom Jacks appoint
ment Now we are told that he is spend
ing his time in Washington to some pur-
pose He is making inquiries about the
Mooleen Rooge, the Boy de Bolony, the Char
dan Mobile and other points of the compass
in gay Paris Evidently Farmer Gowdy is
not doing this for nothing. He does bot
propose to break faith with Mr.. Mckinley
by going TO his new duties without a COM
pIetc knowledge OF them.
The point that we desire to make, how
ever, is this. The Gowdy phenomenono ought
to be applied to all other office-seekers, il
accurate information about them is desired.
What are they inquiring about, and hence.
whittier are they probably tending? We
believe this suggestion is worth the space
we give it, and more.

along Surgeon Wales, of our own United

as follows:

PORTRAITS of the CIevelands.

The TaranteIia.

The tarantella is the national dance of
the Sicilians, and its name is explained In
two different ways. One account says that
dancing TO its wild, rapid, spasmodic music
was believed to be the only cure for an epi-
deInic dancing mania which has prevailed
at times in southern Italy and was known
as tarantism.
Theother and more probable theory points
to superstitions about the bite OF q native
spider CALLED the tarantula. Sufferers from
its sting were supposed to have a frantic
desire to dance, the poison in their veins
driving them to such desperate efforts that
they sometimes dropped dead from ex-
haustion- The picturesque idea has been
made use of by several modern composers,
among them Raft. Heller and Masou.
The bite of the tarantula, however, is
said by modern observers to be by no means
so deadly as has been universally believed,
hardly exceeding in severity that of COM
mon wasp. Various kinds of large spiders
and lizards have been called tarantulas by
EBgiish-speaking people, but the originally
dreaded insect came from Barbary and
Apulia, and was especially common i'm Tar
anita, whence its name. Chicago News.

Really Effective Reform.

As valuable recipe for use in reforma-
tory movements we venture TO give the
facts of a remarkable conversion reported
from New Orleans. One of the city man.
sions one evening was left alone, save for
the presence of a young daughter of the
IA, use An enterprising, but evidently not
a depraved, burglar entered and went
through the premises absorbing much store
OF Jewelry, ''lingerie, robes ct manteaux."
on taking leave of the building be was
discovered by the young lady, who briskly
opened fire with revolver, but with what
effect did not appear.
Several days later the chief of police
received a scholarly anonymous letter stat
ing that two OF the shots had inflicted
severe wounds, and that they had resulted
In converting the recipient from the error
OF his ways. He begged to offer the
booty he bad captured upon the altar of
admiration for the noble girl; il would be
found under the back steps. 1t was so
found, and thus the repentance was identi-
fled as sincere.
That regenerated young and emotional
cracksman may yet come TO greatness.
He may get to be Sunday school superin-
tendent and live to hold one end of a
hymnboek, in sweet communion with tie
fair hand supporting the other, which
also rescued him from perdition with Two
balls from a navy six-shooter.
But the great point in the story should
not be lost upon our lady readers. What
worked so well in the Crescent City Nigh:
operate elsewhere with equal success. 1t
Is a sweet and lovely thing to reform bur-
glars, and if one can do it with "a gun
that is the best way. Therefore we car
Destly call upon the DANES and damsels Of
our constituency to organize a burglar
reform association, with incidental and
thorough pistol practice.
