He jabbed his finger into the eyeball

at once threw up its wings and hoped
to the farther end of the perch.
But the wise man was not satisfied.
He wanted to demonstrate his knowl

WEATHER FOR ocToBEa.


October has been the tenth juror on the
panei1o twelve ever since Julia Cesar s
wife took a hand in monkey ing with the
months and March was moved up from
first to third base to make places for Jan
uary and February. The effect Of in
creasing the year from ten TO twelve
months was to shorten their pay and put
on more of them to manufacture a year.
October is noted for its political signif-
icance hardly less among the heavenly
than among the earthly bodies, with the
differentiation that the political bodies Of
the Earth contain lamentably few shin
ing lights. Upon this mundane sphere
parties rotate amid more or less darkness;
in the skies all the aspirants for the pub
lie suffrage must carry bicycle lamps af-
ter six pm.
This will explain the intensely luml-
nous heavenly conditions visible through
out October after six o'clock in the even
ing, and will be cheerful information for
buOoc VI l61SuIo tl1Q tdb0 ndD1tS WIZ may
keep their eyes fixed on the fixed stars
for four weeks. There is a campaign in
progress among the planets for the post
of night Waterman, the aspirants being
Mars, Jupiter and Neptune, and the skies
are excitedly frightened by the activity
of their adherents. Hence Venus attains
to great brilliance on the 24ths while Po-
laris, Saturn, Hamel, Uranus, Algol and
other of the political bosses will be night
" on hand, respondent with celestial py-
rotechnics.
Meanwhile the Earth, having political
troubles of its own, remains, with Mer-
curry, in Aphelion, awaiting the results
of the November elections.
There is at this early date no reason for
doubt that October, having more days
than September, will have more weather.

THE ISSUE.

The resolutions adopted by the Repub-
Iican Convention of the Fourth Congress
sional District, like those adopted by the
State Convention. are manly and
straightforward declaration of Republi-
can principles.
These principles they are not ashamed
to avow in detail, and they are especially
outspoken on sound money.
On the other hand, the Democratic
State Convention did not dare to name
the principles of the party. 1t reafirms
''our devotion to the great and vital prin-
ciples of the Democratic party on national
issues, believing. however, that the COM
ing campaign should be fought out on
State issues" The issue of that party is
s'Jim'' Smith-a national issue, certainly,
for his course in the Senate has been
against the cause of sound money. The
Democrats did not dare to mention that
question in their platform because they
stand, not for principles, but for spoils
which would never come within their
reach if they openly avowed their free
silver doctrines. They really affirmed
them in thinly disguised sort Of way.
How much harmony that is likely to
produce may be guessed from the fact
that the delegates from Morris County
voted "A for Crane, the nominee for Gov
ernor, and % against him, II of these
votes being for the Hon. Bill DAILY, the
silver champion.

POPULAR SENTIMENT.


Popular sentiment is not always in
continent, nor yet ELUSIVE. Masses of
men and women may deeply agree in a
burning issue and be unconscious of it
until brought into demonstrativeness by
trivial cause. At a vitascope exhibition
in this town lately the portraits of many
war characters were successfully pro-
jected upon the canvas, exciting uncer-
tain recognition and far from infectious
applause The presentment of Schley,
for an example of the reverse of this, at
once threw the whole audience into the
widest cheering. The exhibitor stated
to MS that this had been precisely his ex-
perience in every part of the country. SO
that he could everywhere foretell the eff
feet each picture was going to produce on
the auditors.
The moral of this is obvious. but the
remarkable feature is that isolated bodies
should absorb spontaneous views that are
absolutely in agreement and always sim
liar in demonstration. That is popular
sentiment, Of course. but what is its form
alive process?

FOUR SOLDIERS LEAVE.

Four of the convalescent soldiers who
were being entertained at the private
sanitarium of Mr.. Luther Kountze left
for their respective homes during the
past week. The sojourn had resulted in
their improved physical condition, and
the men, although happy at the thought
of getting home, left the delightful sur
roundings with some regret. There are,
however, three new arrivals, who also
testify to the kindness of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kountze. The reinforcements comprise
William Meiser, F Battery, Fifth U. S.
Artillery; Orrie Kurtz, Co. A, Ninth u.
S. Infantry; John J. Flynn, Co. A, Ninth
N. Y. Vols; John Jones. Co. f, Third
q. s. Infantry, and William Wulff, U.
S. Immunes.
A trained nurse looks after the wants
of the little squad of soldiers and an ex-
cellent cook attends to the culinary de-
partment. DR.. A. Ubelacker volunteers
his daily services Reading matter and
writing materials are supplied, and the
beneficial influences of wholesome food
and pure mountain air are indeed appre-
ciated, and many visitors come from the
city and from Mendhan, all seeming to
take an interest in the welfare Of Uncle
Sans men.

OUR CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE.

A most harmonious and enthusiastic
Republican convention was held at New
ton on Saturday last and put in nominal
ton to represent the Fourth District in
Congress John T. Blair Kelley, a well
known and highly respected citizen of
Phillipsburg, N. j.
The short account Of Mr.. Reiley's life
which is printed on our first page clearly
indicates that he is self-made man in
the best sense of the term-that is to say,
that he owes his position in society and
in his profession to his ability, persever-
ance and sterling worth.
Mr.. Kelley is an easy speaker and has
fine presence. He is man of broad
sympathies. and the conscientious and
energetic way in which he has discharged
the duties of important public offices is a
guarantee that he will represent this dis
trict in Congress ably and we'll. He
should get the vote of every Republican
and sound money Democrat in the Fourth
District.

THE Maria Teresa, the third of Cerve-
ra's Inflated warships that swung out of
Santiago into Schley's range, and which,
like the others, was riddled and beached,
was raised and foated by Hobson's plan
and on Saturday towed forty miles along
the coast to Guantanamo. A great dem
onstration was made by the troops and
ships on the scene.
1t has been inquired in a certain way
by some who are inclined to belittle an
others merits and by others who know
nothing even when told: s'If the sinking
of the Merrimac didn't shut in Cervera's
squadron, what in the world did Hobson
do that the country should blow SO much
about?" Well, firstly, Hobson took ex
traordinary chances to get killed. That
itself was an example for good many
of us, that is, for those of us who can't
appreciate the act of a brave man.
But the sinking of the Merrimac had
far reaching and we'll defined advantages
for both the army and navy, and this be-
cause, as it happened, Cervera's cruisers
were not entirely bottled up. Had they
been, Cervera would have dismantled and
destroyed them after putting ashore their
guns and ammunition With these in
position upon the heights surrounding
the town the tale of the American attack
and victory at Ell Caney and San Juan
would have had more chapters and diff
ferent kind of conclusion.
On the other hand, had not the Merri-
mac been sunk at all, Cervera, had he
chosen to come out, by day or by night,
could have rushed his ships along two
or three abreast. and broken apart for
the open sea. Had this maneuver been
possible. part of his fleet would have es-
capped. That would have been naval
story with a novel epilogue.
Providentially. the presence Of a mar
row channel of exit past the Merrimac's
wreck kept burning the spaniard's hope
Of getting away, but made an attempt to
do so at night cut of the question. Atthe
same fine he was compelled to maintain
his ships in readiness for emergencies. and
that kept his guns in their places. When
at length his cruisers darted forth for
liberty the sunken Merrimae forced them
to pass out in single fiIe, instead Of in
double formation, and to go one by one
to their swift destruction.
That's what Hobson's remarkable ex-
plot accomplished. though the harboa
entrance vas uuintentionaIly left par
TALLY unsealed.
