a most deplorable condition Of things
in a community governed by law and
in which every man, whether he be
defendant accused of crime, or liti-
giant in civil action, is entitled to
exact and speedy justice. The fees
incident to litigation are now far in
excess of what they should be and
constitute vexatious burden upon
the citizen of which he should be in
a great measure relieved. While we
believe that the expense Of litigation
should be borne by those who resort
to it, we feel that there should be
thorough revision of the present sys-
TEN. we demand a reform of these
several legal abuses
We are justly proud Of the grand
work which has been accomplished,
under Democratic administration. in
Jersey City, Hoboken and Bayonne in
the matter of the erection OF new
school houses. In Jersey City alone
under the present administration,
more new schools houses have been
erected than during the preceding
twenty years.
We advocate the passage Of law
which will compel the State Treasurer
to become the custodian of the Teach
ers' Retirement Fund. upon proper re-
quest, without expense to that fund
We congratulate the teachers of our
public schools upon their successful
efforts to care for the members of their
profession, in old age or sickness, out
Of their own funds.
We endorse and most heartily ap-
plaud the administration of His Honor,
Edward Hoos. the Democratic Mayor
Of Jersey City, under whose wise and
economical management the rate OF
taxation in that city has been reduced.
Notwithstanding the fact that exten-
sive public improvements have been
carried out in every direction and every
department Of the public service has
been maintained in the highest degree
of efficiency. We endorse, too, the
equally successful administration of
His Honor, Lawrence Pagan, the Dem
ocratic Mayor of the city of Hoboken,

Bayonne, who has presented to the
people Of that city the spectacle of a
public servant applying himself honest

to his care.
We endorse the nomination of the

Silver Republicans, Populists and
Democrats must stand shoulder to
shoulder in common cause. United
we can save the republic, the last ref
uge of self-government, the one re-
maining hope of liberty to succoring
centuries. The policy of our foes is to
divide us that they may conquer us.
Let no private interest, pride or care
lcssncss or folly afford the hope that
We shall furnish arms against our
selves. After full consent together
we should, Wherever there ia a con.
test, choose q strong champion o, the
common cause, and he should be
given the true allegiance and earnest
support of every opponent of the party
of gold and monopoly. The man or
organization that in this grave crisis
becomes responsible for discordant
counsels or divided energies does not
deserve the blessings we are all striv-
ing to preserve.
Patriots and citizens, we call upon
you to unite in this great common
service OF citizenship and patriotism.
No man need surrender his party con-
victions. No organization need be
abandoned. While striving to over
throw a common enemy, no good pur.
pose is served by emphasizing points
in which we differ.
"But until this final assault of the
enemy on the last ramparts of our
industrial and social independence is
repelled, until the control of the
money system is rescued from the
hands of special interests and secured
to the whole people, the members OF
the great armies of political reform in
every part OF the United States should
act in mutual justice and harmonious
cooperation for the general welfare.
To this object, thus urged upon our
friends everywhere, we hereby pledge
jointly and severally our earnest and
constant endeavor.

chairman National Committee of
the Silver Republican Party.

The Japanese are ruthless in their
tampering with nature. If they decide
that they want bird or an animal Of
a certain shape or color they set about
manufacturing the article, so to speak
by the exercise of exceedingly clever
ingenuity and untiring patience
Here, for example, is how the white
sparrows are produced. They select a
pair of grayish birds and keep them in
white cage in white room, where
they are attended by a person dressed
in white. The mental effect on a
series of generations of birds results in
completely white birds.

ave appeal to you, let this not be
the case again. Our only danger is in
division. If we are in earnest, we
must have harmony amongst ourselves
If there should be those who would
divide us, let them be summarily and
emphatically rebuked by the people,
who have none but high and patriotic
motives.
"After the bold declaration of the
administration in favor of the gold
standard, no sincere bi-metallist can
ever again by his vote or influence,
give aid to the Republican party. Tie
issue is joined; we cannot avoid it if
we would. Either the friends of BIZ
metallism or the advocates of the gold
standard, trusts and monopolies must
succeed. Who is not for us is against
us. We are asking no man to abandon
his party or change his politics; we
ask no one to yield any principle, but
i'll this great contest, we do appeal to
all good men to stand solidly together
for liberty and humanity and strike
down forever this conspiracy of gold
and monopoly.

AN ABSENT.MINDED JUDGE.

In these days of mines and mining
excitement the following story, though
not new, will possess an interest to
those who have not heard it.
Justice Of the Peace Munger, of Sill.
verton, who had made mining law a
study, was recently called upon to
perform the marriage ceremony, the
contracting parties being unable to
find a parson in that heathen locality.
The Judge, whose mind was deeply oc-
y. Jed II. -.,aKlng Ou- d u,-..,, ueeu,
hurridly closed the code and ordered
the couple to join hands and stand
before him. Then, in an absent
minded manner he began:
"Young man, have you filed a no.
tice of your intentions and done any
assessment work upon your claim dur
ing the past twelve months?" At this
juncture the young lady blushed scar
let, while the groom stammered in an
inarticulate manner, fumbled in his
side pocket and drew forth a mar
riage license, which he meekly handed
to his honor. The latter looked it
over and for a moment seemed to
rouse to a realization of "where he
was at" After few minor interroga-
tions as to age, ETC., he proceeded as
follows:
"Sir, do you take this young lady
to be your lawful wife, to have and to
hold, with all the appurtenances thereto
belonging, together with all dips,
angles, spurs. rights, privileges and
franchises hereto incident?"
The young man, though evidently
greatly surprised, faltered an affirma-
tive answer, whereupon his honor
turned to the blushing fair one and
inquired in a mechanical, distracted
manner:
Young lady, do you take this man
as your lawful husband, together with
all right, title, interest appendant and
appurtenant herewith usually had and
enjoyed in the premises, and every
part and parcel thereof, so help you
Cody Receiving q faltering eyes
sir" the judge declared the transaction
fully and legally consummated and
binding on all parties. He then
swore them to a statement that this
was their own free and voluntary act
and deed for the purposes therein
mentioned" fined them five dollars
and ordered the constable to let the
prisoners free.

They Have Troubles.

Book dealers have their troubles as
we'll as other people. They probably
answer more questions than a railway
station agent or the bright young
man who presides at the window of a
bureau of information Office, says the
Dallas (Tex.) News.
A Main street dealer was not sur.
prised, therefore, the other day when
clerical-looking stranger walked into
his place Of business and began to
look around. .
"Have you got The Woman in
White by Collins9" he inquired.
OF course the dealer had it, and
was only too anxious to make q sale.
Have you got All Alone which
is also by Collins?" the quiet stranger
continued.
Sure the dealer had it, and by this
time he had become interested.
II forgot the author, but there is q
book called In the Dark that il
said to be very fine"
By that time the dealer had all the
books on the counter and was pre-.
pairing to wrap them up.
"Never mind" said the stranger
al don't want to buy. I merely want
to suggest that if you have The Wo-
man in White" All Alone and In
the Dark that you have q good thing
Good day, SIR"
And the dealer is looking for his
ministerial visitor to kick him around
the block.

What to Eat tells a story of two
young women with bright auburn
hair, who had just sat down to
luncheon at the Berkeley Arms, when
a fiorid matron with crimson dress
took seat oppose, and, after glancing
at her neighbors and examining the
menu, remarked to the waiter that
red-head ducks were not served that
day. Then the waiter came around
to get the young women's order, where.
upon one of them glanced at the florid
woman and then at the bill of fare,
and said to her sister: "The boiled
lobster is not on the bill"
