Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1897-02-18

Senator Stranger on Tuesday introduced
bill to set off portion of Franklin town
ship into Cumberland county.
This bill is believed to be smart politi-
cal move, from the Republican standpoint,
the argument being that it places forty
Democratic voters from Franklin township
oyer into Cumberland county, hence would
result in making Franklin township surely
Republican.
Even were this all true, yet will our
Republican friends be making a ptiable;
spectacle of their politics if they make
Mr. Stanger's bill law.
The truth of the situation is that it adds
just six hundred acres of land, owned by
three citizens Of our county, Mr.. Fox, Crane
Bros, and Richman Bros, that bring $3.50
of taxes to Gloucester county, and seven
teen voters. niue Democrats aad six Re-
publicans, and two Prohihitionisis, to the
taxable property and voting population of
Cumberland county.
This tract became portion OF our county
during Senator Barker's term, on petition
of the owners of the tract and every resi-
dent thereon. Not as has been charged,
for political reasons, but because the own
ers of the property, being citizens of this
county, desired to make extensive improve
ments on portion of it, and reside there
without changing his residence to another
county.
Oar representatives in Senate and House
are supposed to use their position for the
good of the whole county, aud represent
every material interest; after the polls close
and the result is determined, they are
supposed to be the representatives of all
the people, not merely handfal of partisans
made mad and yindictive by party success.
If the above version of the situation is
the truth of it, and we can substantiata it
By afidavits of the best citizens of the
township, what reasonable, what tenable
excuse is there for Mr.. Stanger's course.

The New York zfi5une's Canton cores
pendent thus describes the situation at the
home of President-elect Mckinley =
The President-elect will have to leave
Canton or refuse to see about half the PEG
pie who come to call on him. The home
of Major Mckinley swarmed with Office
seekers to-day. The hall, occupied half
the stairway, and could not find half
enough standing room in the library. For
halt an hour several men waited in the
cold, damp air on the porch. They were
unable to get into the house. Every train
that came to Canton to-day brought people
who wanted to see the President-elect, and
every one who came to see him, with half
a-dozen exceptions, came for the EXPIRE s
purpose of seeking Office"
What will it be when Mr.. Mckinley gets
to Washington? and the offices are placed
on tap.

No individual in New Jersey did more to
arouse aud unity the anti-race track
sentiment than the Rev. DR.. Kempshall, OF
Elizabeth, and the Republican party
gathered the harvest of his persistency.
Now that the Rev. Doctors views on official
acts of Governor Griggs are not cnmpli
mentary to His Excellency, he is met with
this kind of criticism from the Republican
press Here is a paragraph from the

The Republican reformers of Jersey City
have bill before the legislature to abolish
Spring elections, and extend the terms Of
the present officials to jar uary LIST, next.
The Republicans have been in power there
for five years, and their reforms have
evidently not inspired the confidence, nor
won the approval of the people, hence this
dastardly scheme TO hold on. No other
evidence than this scheme to usurp to
power of the people to choose their own
servants is wanting to convict the present
officials of unfaithfulness and the legisla-
ture that responds to such demands is a
menace to free government.

Last week the Republican Senate passed
a bill to increase the salaries of the mem
bers of the State Board Of Taxation from
$1,000 each to $500 each. This Board
was created under the Gov. Abbett's last
term, and its yearly cost vas $500. Now,
under Reform Republican auspices, it costs
$4,000. Republican Reform always costs
the people more money than Democratic
business methods.

When Americans learn of the sale by
spaniards of orphan children at auction in
the public places, and that the beautiful
girls are bid in" by notorious keepers of
disreputable resorts, and following close on
this, news that three young ladies leaving
Cuba for America, on an American steamer
were stripped naked BY Spanish officials,
and searched, because they were suspect ed
ofhaving dispatches to Cuhan sympathizers
in America, they must wonder if occasion
will eyer arise of sufficient importance to
call for armed intervention by the United
States. Even the few remaining days of
this administration are too long if such
outrages committed on our own steamers,
by inhuman brutes, are to go unnoticed.

When person is losing flesh and vast
ing away there is cause for alarm. Nothing
so worries a physician. Consumptiyes
would never die if they could regain their
usual weight. In fact there would be no
consumption if there was no wasting of the
system. The cause of this loss of flesh is q
failure to properly digest the food eaten.
Nine tenths OF all our diseases date back to
some arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by caus
ing the food we eat to be digested so as to
do good, for undigested food does more
harm than good. The Cordial contains
food already digested and is digester Of

TRENTON, Feb. 17.-This has been
busy week for number of the legislative
committees. Public hearings have been
held on various bills, and orators from all
over the state have flooded the state house
with their eloquence by way of enlighten-
ing the members of the legislature as tc
how they should vote. The senate chamber
was the scene of three hearings on Mon
day The measures under consideration
were the commuters package bill, the
cent ferriage bill and the bill which
changes the time of holding municipal
elections in Jersey City and Newark from
the spring to the fall. The two former
did not occupy great deal of time from
the committee on railroads and canals, the
expected opposition from the corporations
not developing. The only speaker on either
measure was Senator DAILY, who introduced
the bills. He contended that the railroad
representative, Mr.. Allen, had admitted
that there was no opposition to the carry
ing by commuters of such packages as his
bill contemplated. Tt is believed the bill
will be reported with some amendment.
The principal objection against the sena-
tors other bill-for cheap ferriage-is that
it violates interstate commerce laws, but
he argued. at length to show that this state
has right over it's own waters and that

Constitutional Amendments.

There was some expectation that the
constitutional amendments would come
before the senate this week and be debated
Senator Voorhees, of the judiciary commit
tee intimating that he would report Them
Up to this "Wednesday morning, however,
they had not made their appearance, and
the debate is doubtless off for this week
anyhow. J. P. Mcdonnell, representing
the New Jersey Federation of Trades
Unions, sent in petition yesterday re-
questing hearing for that body on the BIZ
ennial sessions amendment in case the
committee thought of reporting it favor
ably. The trades unions are against BIZ
ennial sessions of the legislature.
The bill dividing the state into two
asylum districts, introduced by Senator
Parry, is not meeting universal favor To
meet some of the objections it was amend
ed in the senate this week so as to con-
tinue the present commissioners in office,
those residing in South Jersey to be in
cluded in the Trenton board and those re-
siding in the upper tier OF counties to be
included in the Morris Plains board
There is a good deal to be said for and
against the bill, the argument in it's favor
being that separate board for each in
sane asylum will permit closer inspec-
ton of each institution, while the argu-
ment against it is that the insane can be
better cared for under central bureau,
which will have uniform system. The
bill passed second reading in the senate
yesterday.

Important New Measures.

Among the new bills of Importance is
one providing for new charter for Asbury
Park, modelled on the Atlantic City char
ter. 1t was introduced by Senator Francis.
Senator Voorhees, presented three bills en-
bodying the indeterminate and probation
system for this state. Each court shall
have an officer whose duty will be to in
vestigate the history of prisoners arraign-
ed. The court, acting on information OBJ
tanned, may commit the prisoner to an in
determinate term in state prison, and he
may be released on probation by prison
advisory board when his conduct merits it.
The system is being tried in other states
Mr.. Leonard has bill in the house re-
quiring industrial insurance companies to
pay policy holders of three years standing
on demand and surrender of policy either
a cash value of 80 per cent of the reserve
to the credit of the policy or else paid up
life insurance policy. Such law would
be welcomed by thousands of the poor peo-
pie who patronize Industrial insurance.
Mr.. Brown has bill permitting the ap-
preparation of 81, 500 by the county to open
a permanent inlet at Shark river
Senator Barber introduced a bill which
relieves liquor sellers from responsibility
for selling to minors when misrepresenta-
ton has been employed regarding the
minors age. Misrepresentation by either
the minor for himself or by any other per-
son for him is made misdemeanor pun
ishable by a fine of $50 or so days impris-
onment, and no blame attaches to the
dealer.
The matter of having New Jersey repre-
sented by military force at the inaugural
ton of President Elect Mckinley has been
decided The proposition to spend 81, 900
for transporting representation of the
national guard to Washington had been IA
vored by Governor Griggs and others,
while some of the military men, including
General Skirm, thought proper represen-
tation of the state would cost more money.
Senator Voorhees,, however, introduced a
bill appropriating 81, 900, and it was beaten
in the senate by a very narrow margin.

SALE OF THE
UNION PACIFIC
The Purchase of Fifty-Seveu Mil
lion Dollar Property "a Verv Tame
Transaction Indeed.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1.-The Union Pa
cific road property including the build
ings and all that goes to operate the sys-
tenn, was this morning sold 20 the re-
organization committee for the sum of
500, ,52S, &c. This amount does not in
clude the sinking fund in the hands of
the government, and taking this to be
$4,036 400, the amount stated in the gov
ernment decree covering the sale of the
road, the total paid for the property was
$57. 564, ,932. 76. There were no other bid
ders and the road went to the reorgani-
zation committee without any opposi-
tion.
The sale of the road was in itself one
of the tamest and most uninteresting
performances possible to imagine.
Under the terms of sale the purchasers
have ninety days in which to pay over
the fun amount of the purchase money
and that part of the transaction will be
carried out in New York in the future
The government has now the sinking
fund of the road and the amount of the
guarantee check put up by the reorgani-
zation committee This is just about 10
per cent. of the full purchase price of the
road.
The members of the committee had
nothing to say after the sale was over
Attorney Winslow said that it was pos
sible that the committee might have a
statement to issue later on. But just
now he was not certain whether it would
be issued or not.
