Election Day in Pleasantville.

Election Day opened fair, warm
and pleasant. and the voters had an
opportunity to ''Save the County,"
Shortly after six O'Clock in the
morning Teams hired by both parties
were soon running to different parts
of the Borough for the purpose of
bringing to the polls the voters who
were aged or infirm and unable to
walk. The total vote polled was 493,
the largest ever cast i'm Pleasantville
There was a great deal of cutting
and pasting of ballots, and the indie
pendent voter was very much in
evidence
There were no great crowds at the
polls at any time, but nearly all day
there was small delegation of earn
est party workers and vote distribu-
tors who stood by their respective
standards until the last ballot was
cast.
The most extraordinary efforts
were made to increase Ashley's vote
for Assembly, by Factory Inspector
Barrett, and he was aided by some
Democrats, who, for reasons best
known to themselves, voted against
the candidate of their own party.
The counting of the votes was
necessarily slow on account of 81
many split tickets. and the count
was not completed until II 00o'clOck.
The vote as declared was as

The Chinese OiI-Tree.

In recent report of the United
States Consul-General at Shanghai
there is an interesting description of
the Tung, or Chinese oil trees This use
full tree grows to hight Of about fif-
teen feet, and is of beautiful appear
tnce, it's leaves being vivid green and
its flowers a pink white. The seeds
are poisonous, and it is from them that
the oil is extracted in the most primi-
tive fashion by wooden presses work
ed with wedges. The oil thus obtained
is largely used all over the country in
the manufacture of paint and varnish,
for waterproofing paper and umbrel-
las, and in some districts for illumin-
ating purposes. But it's chief use is for
calking boats. On the submerged parts
of vessels it is applied hot, but on 9th
er parts it is painted on in thin coats
quite cold. All Chinese boats are thus
oiled twice a month, and so are made
to assume a glossy appearance, while
the wood is greatly preserved. Like
most other commodities, this tree-oil is
often adulterated before it is sold by
retailers-chie1y by cottonseed OIL

The Beauty of Vienna.

To enter Vienna and see her in her
beauty you must come down the Dan
uoe. Two huge mountains, denseiy
wooded, are the last arms Of the Alps.
They stand watch over the imperial CITY
and from their nights a panorama sell
dom equaled spreads itself before your
eyes. Ihe spires of innumerable
churches, the golden cross of st. Steph-
en- towering above them all, the roofs
OF numerous palaces, and the Danube
winding like a silver thread through II
all The Carpathian mountains in the
distance. and the hills of the Vienna
woods clrcling it about like a pearlv
necklace. Vienna is not as gorgeous as
Paris. Paris the overdressed piebeian
Vienna the patrician. Paris gives her
self airs, Vienna has solid style. PARIS
is hilarious, Vienna joyous. Paris is
crazy. Vienna but cranky Well. in
short, Paris is Paris, and Vienna is vi
emma. The most light hearted people
ever known live here. The rich are few,
for everybody eats. drinks, dances and
goes to the theater, and lets the morrow
take care of itself. At O'Clock every
evening, summer and winter. you will
find three-fourths of Vienna not at
home. In the summer in the Prater.
Statpark and Shoenbrunn, in the winter
in the too numerous beer gardens and
theaters. Vienna is chiefly known for
producing three things: Beautiful wo-
men, theaters and coffee. From the epi-
curean standpoint, the coffee is the best:
from moral standpoint, the theater is
the worst, and from an aesthetic stand
point, the women the prettiest, on the
continent.-Chicago News.

OF course IL Is very, very witty to
prattle of Gear Reed" OF course it is
very patriotic to declare him to have
become the dictator of the age" the
autocrat of the political field in Wash
ington. OF course it sounds loud, and
may be mistaken as a protest of the en-
shaved and suffering, when the cry goes
up that Car Reed has crushed Demo-
Gratis back into their seats and compelled
them to obey the rules the majority has
made. But it is just as well for sensible
people to reflect that Mr. Reed is the
servant. not the master of the House
He does not make the House rules. but
the majority of the House does. That
majority. according TO our system, Is
rightfully dominant 1t may be and has
been guilty Of injustice. All majorities
are at times tyrannous. But it is the
majority not the minority that must
control procedure in Congress- Our

less insistent upon the right of the
majority If it happened that they were

THE TRADE BALANCE.

Stockton Record: The balance of
trade which was $3.50 600, 900 in our
favor in 1897 is quite likely TO be stead
lily increased for the next few years un-
der Republican rule. The three chief
items of importation are sugar. coffee
and wool and woolens. The sugar. inn
portations are nearly 100000, 600 a
year, and for the twelve months ending
June Both last the imports of wool and
woolens amounted to over 500, 600, 600.
Besides these there was an item of S40,-
U0,O00 for cotton goods, all of which
can be saved to the country.
The rapid expansion of the beet su-
gar industry will soon save to the United
States the hundred million it is paying
to Germany, Cuba and other countries
for sugar. The Dingley bill will pre-
vent the importation of very many
WOolen goods and under present condi-
tons cotton goods can be produced at
home better and cheaper than anywhere
else. Besides these the United States
imported about S30,000,00O worth of
iron, steel, leather and linen that will
be hereafter chiefly manufactured in
this country. 1t would not, therefore,
surprise us if the balance Of trade within
five years should swell to the enormous
sum of $500, 900 900.

then, will it be before Hawaiian SUI

will not be thus protected. Sugar comes

THE NEWSPAPERS WIN.

The newspapers of Denver have won
their fight over the autocratic combine
of 1he leading merchants of Denver.
The latter assumed to dictate to the
former what advertising rates should
be, whereupon the newspapers told the
merchants to stand to their yard
sticks and not meddle with the price of
other peoples goods. If they did not
like the articles they could leave them.
They did so, whereupon the news
paper men overhauled their lockers
and found that their prices had been
too low Their advertising was giving
too much for little. They thereupon
readjusted their rates, increasing the
figures somewhat. and, clipping the
wings of Mr.. '"Top-of-the- column
next-to-reading matter; death-notices-
underneath marriage notices-on -on-one-
side; double-display and readerswith-
out-stars." The result is that the
merchants have held out just ten days,
and now come into camp and surrender
bag and baggage. They have been duly
paroled.
Neither the newspapers of Denver
nor any other city demand for regular
advertising more than it is worth.
Competition is too sharp and severe to
permit Of any such a thing as squeez-
ing the customer or extorting. The
newspaper has not attempted to turn
over the merchants tags and put new
prices on his socks and collars, or scale
down his fiannels and crash. 1t has,
as rule, left the merchant to just such
profit as he could make, or In good
conscience saw fit to take. 1t has
asked of the merchant his patronage,
but not as a beggar, for the newspaper
has given value received in full for
every dollar it has received from the
merchant. If it has not done so, il
argues that the successful merchants
are fools, and who would dare to seri-
ously make that charge?
We concede that there are bad news
papers just as there are bad merchants
and squeezed, and have pinched the
merchants, just as some merchants
have throttled the newspapers and
taken advantage Of their necessities.
But neither Of these prove the rule
Commercial advertising in every COM
munity has standards that are fixed
less by the publisher than by eompa-
tition and circumstance. But when
the merchants of Denver ran up
against that standard they discovered
that it is not insensate; that it is a liv-
ing, breathing reality, and that not
only can 1t kick, but it can strike back
Now that the war in Denver IS done
and peace has spread her wings
over that burg once more, the mer-
chants of that rare altitude can take
few days off and reflect.

The latest Dreyfus story is that ne
was betrayed by woman who found in
eliminating documents and placed them
in the hands of the French authorities.
1t is added, with expressions of sur
prise, that the woman refused compen-
sation, though it was rendered to her.
OF course revenge is infinitely more de-
sirable to a woman than money. To
have taken money would have embit-
tered the sweet of her triumph over a
man she probably had sworn to punish.
It's good idea to decline to invite the
occasion when a woman may wreak
vengeance. She treasures wrongs men
would forget; she revenges herself where
and in ways men would not dare at
tempt.
