Bro Carpenters misfortunes have not
come singly. The country turned its back
to its Organized principles and candidates,
and now the Court of Errors and Appeals
has voted to reopen Congressman Louden-
slager's uuch-talked of land case. This
must be a staggering blow-not to Bro
Carpenter alone, but to those who, like
him, have been taking delight in pound
ing' the Congressman. Constitution.
We gladly take our place in the long,
inteiligently conscientious line of Glouces-
ter county voters who did not cast ballot
for Mr. Loudenslager, because we believe
that every person who SO voted had in
view the highest ideals OF American citizen
ship, and the best conception of what an
American Representative should be in
character and person.
According to the two highest courts in
our State, Mr.. Loudenslager made untrue
assertions to his business partners by
which he secretly made large personal
profit, and if one of those courts now
desires to reverse itself, (which we are not
prepared to believe) and say to the world
that it made mistake by decreeing that
he should repay the profit thus made, we
are in no way responsible.
Yet we cannot but feel that if this
should be done, the Injunction from Sinai,
Thou shalt not steal" is no longer of
binding effect in New Jersey and that the
lesson of such action would be wider in it's
demoralizing effects than the inexpIicable
verdict of the people.
In comparison to these, our own political
:" misfortunes' if we have any. which Bro.
Barber bewails, are unworthy of even
passing regret.

The engine of conductor Lawson's train
on the Reading Road, which leaves Glass
boro at a. m. north bound, was disabled
at Williamstown on Monday morning by a

new continuous tank, giving employment
of Sc blowers Another large tank is be-

ready by New-years. Several new men

A Cure for Hog cholera.

The following is the government formula
for the cure of hog cholera and swine
rleague, which is said to be the best known:
lib. wood charcoal, lib. sulphur, 2lbs sod
ium chloride, 81 lbs sodium bicarbonate,
Il lbs. sodium hyposulphite, Id. sodium
sulphate, 1 lbs. antimony sulphide-b
antimony. The ingredients should be pull
verified and thoroughly mixed. The dose
of this mixture is large tablespoonful for
each 200 pounds weight of hogs to be treat
ed and it should be given only once day.
When hogs are affected with these diseases
they should not be fed on corn alone but
should haye at least once day soft feed,
such as mixing bran and middlings or mid
dlings and corn meal or ground oats and
corn or crushed wheat with hot water, stir
ring into this the proper quantity of medi-
cine. Hogs are fond of this mixture, it
increases their appetite, and when they
once taste of food with which it has been
mixed they will eat it though nothing else
would tempt them.
Animals that are very sick and will not
come to their feed should be drenched
with the medicine shaken up with water
Great care should be exercised in this as
the animal is likely to be suffocated This
medicine may be used as preventive OF
these diseases, and for this purpose should
be put in the feed of the whole herd, care
should of course be taken to see that each
animal has it's its proper share
1t also appears to be an excellent sppe-
tizer and stimulant of the process OF diges-
ton aud assimilation.
The losses from these diseases in the
United States alone are estiu ated to reach
from 1000 600 to $25, O00. 900 annually.

General Miles RevaIations.
rNs,u vo.l, vva~I6t

In his report, published this morning,
General Miles shows, not by assertions,
but by documentary facts submitted with
out comment
1. That he laid out and gave to Alger
plans for raising, equipping and making
effective an army of less than loo, 900
volunteers.
2. That these plans, full of common
sense and humane precautions for the
men, were CONTEMPORARY disregarded.
3. That in their stead Alger adopted an
iucoherent and absurdly military scheme
whereby huge horde of volunteers that
were never needed and never used were
herded in so-called camps and ravaged by
disorder and disease
4. That wild and crazy schemes for
dumping this mass of unarmed, unequip-
ped and unacclimated human beings into
Cuba were adopted and actually ordered
and would have been carried out but for
the protests of General Miles.
5. That he was snubbed and side
tracked until after General Skaters des-
perate fight at Santiago compelled Alger
and Mckinley to send him there to take
command.
6. That he did take command at Santi-
ago and did conduct the negotiations for
the surrender, and that he issued the only
orders that were issued looking to the
saving of our army from death BY fever.
z. That Mckinley and Alger ordered
him to land at point in Porto Rico where
with his hastily equipped and almost un-
drilled army of $500 men he would have
had instantly to meet 1900 well armed,
well defended Spaniards.
6. That these incredible orders to rush
to ruin were sent openly over foreign tele-
graph wires and were published at WASH
ington before Miles received them, so that
the Spaniards were aware of the landing
place selected and were ready to destroy
our army had General Miles obeyed these
positive orders.
9 That General Miles advocated from
the start the holding back of all military
operations and the releasing Of our navy,
which he evidently thought could alone
and with perfect safety and with small
loss of life end or almost end the war.
General Miles report in general shows
that the huge, unnecessary army, the pest
camps and the pest transports were the
result not of unavoidable causes proceed
ing from inexperience and haste, but of
deliberate and contemptuous disregard Of
the principles Of warfare, earnestly re-
peatedly and intellieently urged by the
commanding general of the army.
Our calamities were the direct result of
Mr. McKinley's Algerians, eager to snuh
Miles and to show their great authority
and capacity.

Read this picture Of Philadelphia poll
tics, from the Philadelphia Record, y and
then cease to wonders that Quay and his
kind maintain their hold in Pennsylvania
politics despite the opposition of honest
men
It was a saying of Tallyrand that the
man vino feared violence or death had no
business in politics. There is truth in
this epigram. In every election held of
late years in Philadelphia in which there
was any question Of doubt as to the re-
suit the Republican strength was swelled
from 10000 to 10000 votes by faud. The
dishearted and disorganized Democrats
do not pnt men on guard at the polls who
are willing to face the cutthroats whose
business it is, as matter of hire, to act
as personators, repeators and false counters
The Municipal Reformers c0ufue their
labors to pamphleteering. to Grating at
League meeting and to doing safe and sonor-
Gus missionary work through press and
pulpit in efforts to convince the voters who
do not need to be convinced.
The rounder. repeater, personator or
heller has no respect for persuasion except,
the persuasion he understands-th of
physical force and courage. Until the
friends of order and IF honest rule in Phila-
deIphia shall man the polling places with
men who are no afraid to look into the
month of pistol and who will not run
away before the CLEAN of knife or the
threat Of policeman, they will never get
tFe upper hand. Practical politics does
nos REQUIRE that fraud should be met with
fraud. victory so obtained would be
worse sban defeat. But until young men
shan stand forth who are willing to play
noIities a. they play football the prospect
n NE redemption Of the city from the con-
sraI Of it's thugs viii be IS shadoWy Is the
prospect Of the millennium.

The stage does more than almost any
thing else to restore ones faith in the
better side of human nature. After an
hour or two with pessimistic philosopher,
who will have it that the race is far gone
in degeneracy, there is nothing more brac-
ing to ones optimism, says Harper's BaSar,
than an evening at one of the theatres of
the cheaper class. How the audience goes
in, heart and soul and boot-heels, for the
brave and honest hero And what con-
tumeiy of misses falls to the share of the
villain There is no winking at immortality,
no sympathy with evil, even when it is
successful. Without doubt the gallery
would firmly decline to go home if the
play did not end with the triumph of
virtue. This is somewhat amusing, per-
haps, but it seems to show that, in an alb
stract question, the sympathies Of the peo-
pie are ON the right side.
