success it was. and they certainly de-
serve a great deal of credit. The pro-

selections. Miss Julia Harvey gave a
piano solo, and she had to respond a sec
ond time. Mr.. Dave Lane recited and re-

Coming on top of the revelation of a
deficit in the States income, the make up
Of President voorhees, ena Committee
on Appropriations is a surprise and a
shock to the State. If President Voor-
bees does not speedily amend his action,
it win become a crying scandal.
President voorhees, named upon his
appropriations Committee Senator john
son of Bergen county, Senator stokes OF
Cumberland n Senate Skirm of Mercer.
An three are Republicans of the ex-
tremist type. Plainly President Voorhees,
considers that the finances of the State
are a matter with which Democrats have
no concern. They are a party affair. The
States money is the campaign fund OF
the Republican machine, and the word
for everyone else is, "Hands off"
The Appropriations Committee is not
the only one which shows a similar spirit
of political bigotry. The Committee on
Railroad and Canals, for instance, con-
sists Of Senators Engel. Miller and vree-
land. This is almost as scandalous as the
Appropriations Committee. in view of the
relations of the railroads to the Repub-
lean party and to the State.
If this is a fair illustration of the
spirit in which Senator Voorhees, is going
INTO tho Governors office, the State may
have reason to regret the exit even Of the
la-rrow-gauge Griggs.

HOW THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN
DRESS WELL Ar SMALL COST.
No Need OF Looking shabby Even
Though Times Arc Hard-Easy TO
Make old Gowns and suits Look
Like New when Ons Knows How.

1t is astonishing how much can be
made from seemingly useless garments by
the woman who knows how. The old fad
ed gown that is out Of style can be
readily dyed with Diamond Dyes to a
fashionable color and then made over so
that it will look almost like new. Suits
for the boys can be made from old ones
discarded by the father, and a bath in
Diamond Dyes will make them look like
new. Dresses and cloaks for the little
girls can be made with but little trouble
and scarcely any expense, from c~ast-off
garments of the older folks, and when
the color is changed with Diamond Dyes,
the made-overs viii look as though they
were fresh from the dressmaker.
Diamond Dyes are made especially for
home use, n the plain directions on
each package make 1t impossible for ever
the most inexperienced to have poor luck
with these dyes. They color anything,
from ribbons. feathers. and scarfs to
heavy coats and gowns, and make per-
fectly non-fading colors, even handsonler
han those made by the professional dyer,

SENATOR DAILY made a strong
though probably a futile move when he
aemanded sn Investigation of the Repub-
iican counties. II is only q. couple of years
since indictments for malfeasance and
corruption were as thick in fPassaic
county as the leaves in Vallambrosa.
Yet who has ever heard of a conviction?
In Mercer county. last year. the robbery
and jobbery of the Board of Freeholders
was shown to be something marvellous in
its extent and effrontery. A few indict-
ments were found. but the guilty parties
were substantially whitewashed. Four
years ago. a newspaper exposed an UNI
speakable condition of iniquity in Union
county, but the only result was the per-
seeution of the editor. Only last week,
a murder trial had to be stopped in Cam
den because the jury had been fixed. But
everyone knows Camden. Hudson is not
a circumstance to it. From pool selling to
jnfanticide. it is the banner county of the
State for crime.

pnrs,v !. poll,,cal proceeding.

The onslaught which is to be made upon
Hudson county by a partisan Legislative
committee places the recent yellow cam
paign of the Evening Journal in its
true light. The entire crusade is designed
to Law the foundation of the Republican
campaign for the Governorship. 1t Is all
politics from beginning to e~nd-nothing
more and nothing less.
Thu investigating committee is the most
formidable fighting engine that modern
political unscrupulousness has at its dis
posal. 1t Is an agency for giving a sem
biance of veracity to any SANDERS, now
ever monstrous. that it may suit the
dominant party to exploit. The proceed
ings are entirely one-sided. The commit
tee itself is partisan. II chooses a parti-
san lawyer. 1t selects strictly partisan
witnesses and only such as will swear to
what suits partisan ends
The witnesses, being limited to no rule
of evidence and subject to no cross-exam-
instion, swear to anything they please.
What they will not dare swear to, the
partisan lawyer will suggest in his ques-
tions and supply in his upon
the testimony. The public, not pursuing
the course of the inquiry analyticaiiy'
is apt to tumble up the allegations of the
witnesses and the assumptions of the
lawyers In one h mass. and go into
political mysteries over the horrors which
result in their imaginations.
Elections have sometimes been turned
by such outrageous proceedings; but we
cannot recall a time when the people
have not had reason to go into sackcloth
and ashes for their folly in being quilted
by such reckless and untrustworthy pre-
sentiments.
In Hudson county, it is well known, an
impartial investigation would give no ad-
vantage to either side. If any evil could
be brought to the door of a Democratic
Office holder. it would be doubly. triply
offset by the consistent and systematic
viilainy of some shining light of Repub-
licanism. But it is plain from the man.
ncr in which the majority went at the
matter yesterday, like a pack of ravening
wolves. that there is not to be even a
pretence of impartiality. The Republican
party wants blood. and Democratic blood,
and its thirst must be g~ratifed and the
