THERE was some discussion on the
powers of Coroner, last week, precipi-
tated by the suicide which occurred here
The deceased left letter addressed to his
wife and the Coroner was informed that
1t was private letter and he had no bust
ness to open it. The revolver with which
the deed was committed was also locked
up and the Coroner was told that he must
wait until the arrival of the mans wife
before doing anything in the matter. AS
the case was clear one and did not de.
mand investigation by a jury the Coroner
quietly waited, but he was not compelled
to. In all cases where Coroner is need
ed he becomes the person in charge as
soon as he arrives. He has right to de.
mand every article in possession of the
corpse, or in the place where the death
occurred, and has the right to open letters
even though privately addresses. Sup
pose that the letter in this case had con.
tanned information to lead to the theory
of foul play, what valuable time would
have been lost i'll waiting for the arrival
of the person to whom it was addressed.
OF course Coroner is expected to use dis
erection on the point of making the con
tents of letter public. 1t can very readi-
ly be seen that he has absolute power in
such case, for if the information he seeks
is not voluntarily given, he can issue a
subpoena and secure it under oath. The
duty of Coroner is to get all the facts in
cases he is called upon to investigate for
the purpose of determining the necessity
for an inquest. and to do this he must have
absolute control. Those who interfere
with him render themselves liable to the
law.

CLARENCE T. ATKINSON, the silver
tongued lawyer of Riverton, has thrown
his gauntlet into the political arena, and
wants it distinctly understood that none
but free silverites need apply in the next
Gubernatorial campaign. He says:
1.-THE next candidate for Governor on
the Democratic ticket will have to prove
that he was loyal in 1896, or there will be
twenty thousand votes in the State he
cannot get Just as sure as the sun rises,
if the leaders undertake to carry out their
present programme of ignoring the ques-
ton of principles and seek to name for
Governor a neutral and nondescript OF
1896, the party will fall asunder. Men
who were scourged in 1896 on account OF
their party loyalty will not quietly see the
party again handed over to those who
declare on the same issues they would
again bolt the platform and nominees.
Before the next convention they will be
waited upon, and will have to declare
themselves. We do not again propose to
give men Office and power with which to
strike down their party"
Clarence has been mentioned bv the
free silver members of the Democratic
party in South Jersey as available" for
the nomination for Governor next year.
His friends say he will be heard from in
the next few months. The above appears
to indicate that he has been heard from
already.

AN echo of the last Fair of the Burling-
ton County Agricultural Society was heard
on Wednesday when trial was held to
recover on one of the unpaid notes given
to tide the Society over its financial straits
The justice gave decision for the plain
tiff, but with all due Difference to the court
we think he erred, and when the case is
tried before the Appeal court it may so ap-
pear. The notes referred to were secured
In response to personal appeal and print
ed circular. The latter promised that GER
tain things should be done, one of which
was that the notes should be paid out of
the first receipts of the Fair of 1896. The
personal appeal was to the same effect,
One gentleman who declined to give a
note because he had no money to lose or
risk, was assured by the Society's agent or
representative that there was absolutely
no risk, the notes would certainly be paid
Hence there was distinct contract which
was not adhered to.

SHORT work was made of the app1ica-
ton for a recount of the vote on the anti
gambling constitutional amendment The
Supreme Court ruled that the question
was one of public policy in which the
government alone was concerned and that
the applicants really had no standing in
court as no personal rights had been in
vaded. The Legislature had prescribed
the manner in which votes should be
counted and the Governor had according
ly issued his proclamation. The only re-
sort the racemen now have is to apply to
the Court of Errors and Appeals. The
lawyers engaged will be pleased to con-
tinue the fight as long as the fees are forth

All markets and all industries are work
ing toward the period of thanksgiving, of
stock taking and of holidays. Colder
weather has done much to accelerate re-
tail trade, so greatly delayed in many lines
by unusually mild and open weather. In
spite of this delay, and the idea that it
may render prices more favorable to buy
ers, dispatches from all parts of the West
and South show a large volume of bust
ness, and though fever at the South him
ders and stock speculation here does not
swell clearings as it did five years ago, the
payments through clearing houses are for
the month only IS per cent less than in
1892, and for the week outside New York
Ia per cent. larger. The producing force
increases on the whole, and many manu-
facturers are unable to take all the orders
offered, while others are committed as far
ahead as they are willing to be. The out
put in several great industries is consider
ably the largest ever known, and conf
dence in yet greater business next year is
undated. Hesitation in speculative mar
kets is in part because an immense CAPT
tai has been turned from them to invest
ment in productive enterprises.
The excess of merchandise exports over
imports in October made the balance
$t64 o33442 for three months and, after
allowance for gold and silver movement
there still appears due this country ISL
7o4,o3o, with undervaluations smaller
than in recent years and interest and div
idends due abroad much reduced by for
eign sales of securities during and since
the panic. The heavy unpaid balance
must be increased by large exports during
the next four months as the demand for
breadstuffs and cotton increases. The
prospect that considerable gold must be
moved has weakening influence on for
eign exchange, and reported sales of
stocks by Europe, 10000 shares for the
week, would not balance half a days diff
ference on merchandise account.-DAn's

Still, talking ON the last election in
this state, New York and Newark papers
are publishing great deal about the de-
feat of Republican candidates for Senator
being due to the desire of somebody to
have only one Republican member of the
United States Senator from his state This
is one of the yarns that always comes to
the surface when there is nothing else to
tell. Perhaps this story has been put in
circulation by those who are responsible
for the loss of Senators. There was but
one cause for defeat in this county and
that has already been told.
