Newark is the only city of its size in
the country without a Democratic daily
newspaper, and the party cannot expect to
carry Essex County in a national or State
campaign, which involves the discussion of
political principles, while this condition of
affairs continues. 1t made poorer show
than any other county in the State at the
recent election, although having the candi
dates for both Governor and United States
Senator and receiving special care and at
tention from the Democratic organization.
1t Newark and County had done half as
well relatively as Paterson and Passaic
county Elvin ". Crane would have been
elected Governor and Democratic Legis-
latnre chosen. The prominent Democrats
of Essex county can do more to promote
the future success of the party in this State
by establishing and maintaining an able
and vigorous daily newspaper in Newark
than by all the contributions they now
make for campaign expenses"
Paterson Guardian
Truer words were never written, and bet
ter advice was never given. In this day,
people are not educated by posters nor cam
paign newspapers. A press to possess in
fuence must be permanent it must be free
from boss infuence-free to commend and
free to censure. With such press Essex
county could be made and kept Democra-
tic. This is the time for the Democrats of
Essex to resolve to have and support
such newspaper.

Women Should Know 1t.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease
is not correctly understood. They have
been led to believe that womb trouble Oh
female weakness of some sort is resp0n-
sible for the many ills that beset woman
kind
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma-
tism, dragging pain or dull ache in the
back, weakness or bearing-down sensa-
tiOn, pr0fuse or scanty supply of urine
with strong odor. frequent desire to pass
it with scaldiDg or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing in bottle or
common glass for twenty -four hours, are
signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attribut-
ed by the patient herself or by her physi-
clan to female weakness or womb trouble.
Hence, SO many fail to obtain relief, be-
cause they are treating, not the disease
itself, but reflection of the primary cause,
which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as we'll as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy.

The New York Sun tells show bicycle
rider hit upon clever plan for recovering
stolen wheel. Instead of advertising the
wheel as being lost, he put notice in the
papers that he would like to buy second
hand bicycle. He declared his preference
for wheel of the same make as his own,
and also for his own gear, saddle, etc. A
different address from that where the
wheel was lost was used, of course, and
the result was that the thief brought the
wheel to its owner to sell it and was
arrested.

It is understood that Governor Watkins
will have two successive terms as well as
Governor Voorhees,. Notwithstanding the
manifest intention of the State Constitu-
tion that no man who occupies the chief
executive Office should hold it Immediately
after the expiration of one. The Assembly
will organize before the Senate by re-elect-
ing the member from Gloucester County
Speaker, and he will continue to act as
Governor until Foster M. Voorhees, is
inaugurated. There is serious doubts as
to the validity of this juggling with the
Governorsbip, in which such veteran con-
stitutional lawyers as ex-Attorney General
John P. Stockton share and the important
questions involved should in some way be
brought before the courts for adjudication
without delay. Peterson Guardian.

The New Jersey Democracy is not at all
cast down by the result of the recent cleo
ton. 1t made remarkable fight in view
of the crushing disaster that overwhelmed
it two years ago, and is now in better con-
dition than at any time since 1892. The
Newark Advertiser appreciates this fact and
gives the following warning to its party -
If there are Republican leaders and leg
islators who are to led to believe by the
election that New jersey can be depended
on to go Republican under all circum-
stances let them disabuse their minds of
that idea. The Democratic party on

THE WAR TAX MEASURE
VIII Not Be Repealed at the Coming
Session of Congress.

VIII Not Be Repealed at the Coming
Session of Congress.
Washington, Nov. 15.-The Washing
ton Post states that the war tax will
not be abolished at the coming short
session of congress, and that there will
be no revision of the tariff whatever.
1t bases this announcement upon the
positive statement made by Chairman
Dingley, of the ways and means COM
mittee, who in an interview says:
1.-THE government will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month of Oc-
tober the war expenditure exceeded the
war revenue by some $14, co. 900, and this
month they will be $10,000,0 900 in excess.
This being the case, there will be no
change, at least this fiscal year. The
war revenue act will continue in force
and unchanged, except perhaps in a
few minor administrative features, for
at least year longer.
ut is hardly necessary to add" con-
tinued Mr.. DingIey, chat there will be
no revision of the tariff, although 1
have seen some statement to the effect
that such revision is contemplated.
'"The session is limited to three
months" continued Mr.. Dingley, land
that short period will be mainly occu-
pied in passing the appropriation bills,
in enacting new laws for the regular
army and in deciding upon the legis-
lation necessary for the government of
Hawaii. In addition to these important
matters the usual number of routine
matters will arise. From the present
outlook the session will be well under
way before the treaty of peace with
Spain will be laid before the senate, and
the ratification of that document may
not be accomplished long before the
4th of March arrives

We arc returning from the social func-

great pomp and ceremony and at the cost
of kings ransom, are TO be killed to-
morrow by the most celebrated matadores
In the kingdom. While there is a great
lack OF money in Seville TO buy bread
there is always enough money forthcom-
ing even from the pHuper's treasury, to
pay the way into the bull ring, and every
one in Seville who is a good Christian will
attend tho Easter bullhght, even it, as
not seldom happens, he has to pawn his
household gods and sacred images to do so.

The Inventor of the Bowie Knife.

AS hunter James Bowie did more than
credit to his blood and training. OiThand
with rifle he could bring down a wild
goose flying high overhead and put his
bullet in the neck five times out of seven.
But craftsmanship bordering on the mar
velous was common attribute thercabout.
What gave the young sawyer distinction
was another story.
Several sorts of another story, in fact.
He could not merely shoot deer running,
but lasso them in fair chase over the prairie,
give them fall, and if it pleased him so
to do, fetch them in alive and unharmed.
He could likewise lasso II horse from the
wild herds, mount him without anybody s
help and stay upon his back, no matter
what was done, until the terrified beast
had run himself tame. By way of variety,
sometimes the lasso was cast over big
bull alligator waddling from swamp &c
swamp When 1t had been drawn taut
holding tail and jaws in leash, young
Bowie mounted the scaly back and rode
there, laughing and shouting while the
astounded saurian went believing witt
rage toward his swampy haunts. .-Marthf
