The Congressional Nomination.

According to the world" the friends
OF Congressman Thomas McEwan are
busting to renominate him this fall.
Colonel Sam Dickinson and the gang are
said to be bitterly opposed to him, and
the Boss is quoted as saying that he
hasn't the ghost of a show"
If the Democratic party acts nationally,
it win be very little matter who gets the
date who does not coerce attention to the
currency issue, the Democracy can carry
this district by at least 1900 plurality.
But. beyond all doubt, Mr.. McEwan is
entitled to the Republican nomination, and
If by any huke we were to have another
Republican Congressman from Hudson;
We would assuredly desire to see Mr.. Nc
Evan the man. We hold this position on
two grounds. First, Mr.. McEwan has
the interests of his constituents and con-
scientious in his desire to serve them.
But our second reason is the chief one.
It is because we are totally opposed to
the rotation system. The plan of selec-
ton, which ~withdraws a representative
from a Legislative body about the time
he is beginning to gov useful and in
f~uential, is simply i9iotic. 1t takes about
four years to make ever the brightest
man any way prominent in Congress, and
until he energies from the mob no man
can do his district any great service or
the country at large either.
The effect of permanence is shown in
h case of Jackass Dingley, who is as
suredly one of the most incompetent men
In the House, but who is now serving his
ninth consecutive term and has been
boosted into the position of party leader
by sheer seniority. It is often a source
Of wonder that the metropolitan districts
of New York and New Jersey count for
so little in Congress. The rotation system
is the cause. Jersey City was on the
verge Of becoming conspicuous before the
nation through the emergence of the brill
liant and able McAdoo. But just as he
had got his foot planted on the ladder of
success, the idiotic rotation system de-
prived him and the district of the fruits
Of six years of labor. Since his retire
ment, we have not been heard of even to
the extent of a new postoffice, and we
will not be until we leave some one in
Congress long enough to get his footing
ana make his influence felt.

SERIOUS BICYCLE ACCIDENT.
Wheelman's Lamp Gets Caught in
the Spokes of His Wheel.

A serious accident happened to a bicy-
Gle on the Boulevard at Old Bergen Road
last evening, caused by the lamp becom-
ing caught in the spokes of the front
wheel, causing five of them to break, the
front forks TO bend and throwing the
rider in the road Similar accidents
are often heard of. TIL front fork of a
bicycle is a very dangerous place upon
which to fasten a bicycle lamp. Many
riders screw their lamp brackets on one
or the other of the forks, which are only
a few inches from the spokes of the
wheel. AT times the bracket becomes
loose causing the lamp to turn toward the
wheel, oftimes resulting in very serious
accidents to the riders.
Such was the cause Of the accident last
evening, and the front wheel of the BIZ
cycle was ruined. The rider, who would
not give his name, received a severe
shaking up, but escaped very serious in
Jury.
