The Issue of printing the laws i'll the
state newspapers is coming up again.
There is no more reason for abolishing
the publication of the public laws in
the peoples newspapers than there
would be in abolishing the publication
of sherifi's sales, surrogate's notices,
etc This does not assume that all the
laws with all their verbiage should be
printed in all papers and all be paid
alike, but that an Ineligible, official
summary of each law enacted, should
be published wherever such law is
operative there can be no reasonable
doubt. The facts are, however, that
the newspapers are themselves largely
to blame for the ridiculous and Unjust
system that obtained until grounds
were created for abolishing the whole
system. All official public doings, of
what Legislative or executive body
soever, should be made public officially
and not by the grace of newspaper
enterprise The public has never yet
grumbed over any reasonable expense
whereby they We're made acquainted
with the acts of their official servants /;
but the servants themselyes-an nota-
bly, the Republicans have conspired
to deprive the people Of this informa-
ton, ostensibly i'll the interests of
economy. Following the states ex-
ample there are numerous other infer
Tor bodies that now refuse to publish
in the newspapers full report or even
condensed reports of what they do.
This is not only unjust, it is unsafe,
The state, and every official body in
the state, should get back to reasona-
BILE system of publishing its acts in the
newspapers. Elizabeth JOufnai

The Lambertville Rubber CO., with
its usual liberality, gave every married
man a turkey and all others gift of
two books. 1t took over $50 turkeys
to supply the demand. There has al
ways existed the best of feeling between
the managers and the employees Of
this company.
The Lambertville Spoke Mfg. Co,
very kindly gave turkeys to married
men and 81 each to single men.

after his employees. They were pre-
scented each with turkey.

A sHARPER'S SHREWO GAME.
Hut 1t Didn't W ork.

A sharper. with headquarters in
New York city, played a shrewd game
last week to beat some of our people
ont of money. On Thursday last,
Robert Butler, one of our merchant
tailors, received message from y. \.
city, signed by Jack Hester, to wire
him quickly twenty dollars, as he was
in trouble and locked up there and
needed the money to obtain his re-
lease Hester formerly lived in this
city and Mr. Butler and he were very
warm friends Mr.. Buffers first inn
pulse was to send the money To him,
but during the day exchanged several
kilograms with Hester and asked
him to wire his address in New York,
so he could send it. Not getting II
satisfactory answer, Mr.. Butler be
came suspicious and wired Hester's
boarding house i'll Jersey City, in
quiring if he was i'll trouble and in
need of money. and received word back
that he was all right and needed NO
money.
Since then it has been learned that
this same party had wired others here
in like manner, one an employees of
the p r. II. shops, but without sue
cess Unfortunately the fellow gave
no n. V address, and could not be
traced. He is evidently one Who il
well acquainted with our people and
knew of the friendship existing between
Mr.. Butler and Mr. Hester. Mr. But
Ter is confident that he knows the
fellow
Mr.. Butler has since received n let
ter from Hester, from Jersey City, say
ing that he has sent no telegram to any
one for money. The \. Y Hester

The New York Post goes out OF It's
way to do the South an injury when 1t
asserts that the reason more desirable
people do not settle in the South Is be-
cause 1.-The average man would rather
live in n cold climate than be shot In
warm climate"
There are some homicides committed
in the South. 10 be sure, and the fact Is
to be regretted. but then there are less
crimes of that character committed In
the Southern country than In any other
section OF the Union. and notably is
such the case in the Posts own BALL
wick. But why does the Post seek to
place ban upon the South in charging
that murder runs riot in many sections
OF the South. when 1t must know, IL II
knows anything, that such is not the
fact? n great newspaper like the Post
ought to be above such petty meanness
Why can't it be honest and fair I'm its

secret of its enmity towards us anyhow,
that ii finds so much delight in misrep-

does?

FACE.

The Baltimore American of yesterday
makes n strange admission-when one
considers the source-an admission
which means more than appears upon
the surface. Here is what it says:
Baltimore has fine export trade.
but It is observed that Norfolk is get
ting new steamship lines. and is
breaking all her previous records in
shipments. That ship canal will
have to be built"
Our contemporary reminds its people
that Baltimore has fine export trade"
but observes. incidentally. that Norfolk
is getting new steamship lines, and IS
breaking all previous records in ship
ments," which statement means, if IL
means anything, that Baltimore must
look on. for its laurels in the matter of
retaining its export business. And this
is fact. But, hear 1t further The ship
canal mus: be built" says the American,
which means. that Baltimore must get
