To Provide Against Fraud,

The bill introduced in the last con-
gress by Representative Sauerhering,
intended to provide a state trade
mark for the protection of dealers in
goods and merchandise manufactured
in a state, and which have attained
wide reputation, and providing that
the name of such state may not be
placed on goods produced in an
other state, having met with consid-
cradle opposition from the commission
er of patents, it is the purpose Of the
Second district representative to in
troduce bill having what he
believes to be the same effect, but
secured in different manner.
The bill now proposed is intended
to stop false branding of goods sold on
the market in any state and particu-
larly to the branding of such goods so as
to deceive the public as to where such
goods are produced.
1t provides that no name of a sta te
or territory except the one in which
the goods or wares or merchandise are
produced shall be branded on the
goods.
Its object is to guard against such
actions as have been adopted by un-
scrupulous dealers in fixing, for exam
pie, the name wisconsin full cream
cheese or ssWisconsin butter" upon
packages of such articles which were
not produced in the state, intending
to deceive the public and trade upon
the good name which producers il
the state have earned for their COM
modities. Washington Correspond

Is an Excellent Sheriff.

I. B. Roach, sheriff of Jefferson
county, has been scoring a pretty good
record, if reports are true. even beating
the favorable record of John D. Bull
lock in the first ten months of his
service by $500, in the expense of his
Office, which is $500 better than the
best previous record. Sheriff Roach
also took twelve men to Waupun in
the first ten months of his service, as
many within three as had been taken
there in any two years previously

Academy OF Music.

East Lynne" was produced at yester-
days matinee at the Academy of Music,
by Marie. Wainwright. Her version of
this piece is quite pleasing, and the audi
ence was very appreciative. AS is usual
when this play is presented, many hand
kerchiefs were brought into play, so sad
are some of the parts, especially in the
last act, where Lady Isabel, the alleged
wronged wife of Archibald Carlyle, who
left him some time before, returns as a
nurse to care for her dying boy.
Marie Wainwright as Lady Isabel and
Madame Vine, the nurse, is clever. Her
portrayal of these characters is pleasing.
East Lynne" will be presented again on
Friday night and Saturday matinee.
For the week commencing Monday even
ing November q, Walter Sandford's new
American drama, Tempest Tossed" will
be the attraction at the Academy of Mus
lie. Like all of the plays that have been
presented under Mr.. Sanford's direction
his new play has been magnificently
staged, and from the amount of applause
bestowed upon it at the Grand Opera
House. New York, during the past week,
1t may be safely recorded as a grand sue
cess, and will prove a strong attraction
for the patrons of the Academy.

Tramp Plague Threatened.

Chief Devery, of the New York Police,
has issued an order which is of as much
interest to this city as it is to our neigh
Dor across the Hudson River, and es-
pecially to Chief Murphy. He has order
ed his Captains to keep tramps and Grim
inals out of New York during the winter.
II this order is strictly enforced, and
there is no reason to believ that it will
not be, the large army of birds of passage
who flock to the metropolis every winter
win get as near to the big city as pos
sIble, and as they may not cross the North
River Jersey City will find them congre-
eating within her limits.
1t therefore behooves Chief Murphy to
issue a similar order to that of Chief
Devery. and to exercise more than ordin-
airy care in protecting the citizens of Jer-
sey City from the ~depredations of these
criminals.

Journals Lie About Bindernagle

The Evening Journal has been oblig-
ed to swallow another of its blackguard-
" lies. 1t announced yesterday that
there would be no public reception to
Philip Bindernagle on his release from
the Penitentiary. Yet only a day or two
before it had been proclaiming that one
was being organized, and attempting to
represent it as a Democratic party af-
fair.
OF course, the Journal was never
honest in this. Mr.. Rappleye, who's
latest role, we observe, is christian
worker in the Chinese slums of New
York, is no fool. He has seen enough of
the world to know that anything like a
political demonstration over Bindernagle
is preposterously impossible. But he also
knows there are people foolish enough to
believe it true if a newspaper declares it
to be so, and he is INSCRIPTIONS enough
to impose upon his credulity for his W
ends.
The fact is no reception has ever been
contemplated to Bindernagle, except a
personal jollifcation gotten up by one or
two of his own c%ronies, and to do him
justice, the man has had the decency to
forbid even this. The Democratic party
even in its smallest local form has no
more to do with it than it has with the
equation of the tides.
We may add that if Bindernagle could
become a candidate for Freebooter, the
day after his release, he would poll from
eighty to ninety per cent. of the entire
vote of West New York. Public opinion
is a queer thing, as the journal" has,
no doubt, realized in the course of its re-
cent capers.

AMUsE VENTS
Biiou Theatre, Jersey City.

"What do you know about the Dreyfus
case? See Devils Island and get wise.
The above is a card that has been cireu-
lated to attract attention to Devils Island,
a play founded on the celebrated prey
fus case, which will bs at the B1Jou
Theatre next week. There is no
doubt but what a close observa-
zion of the play will enHghten
one to a great extent on the Drey-
fus affair. The play commences with the
accusation of the unfortunate Captain,
followed by his public degradation, when
is put on exactly as it occurred, the only
difference being that they use he Place
de la Concorde in the place of the Mill
tary Square. This is a stage license,
and is dom to get a beautiful scenic ef-
feet. in which they certainly have been
successful. The Arc de Triomphe and
Horses de Marley are exact representa-
tions of the real work of art. In the
third act Emile Regil is shown IN a
l~ieutenant,s uniform, which she dons Tor
the purpose of landing on Devils Island.
This w~ell-known actress plays the part
of the Countess Petroski, this character
representing the .veiied lady who took
such an active part in the trial. Perhaps
the most startling scenic effect that mas
ever been seen on the stage occurs in the
fourth act, where an American despatch
boat, supposed to be owned by one OF the
great New York papers, is seen coming
head on. and rescues the Captain and the
disguised Countess. This boat is tre-
mendous in size, occupying almost the full
stage. Al great many people who were
curious as to the way the boat was
worked during the New York run OF the
play, were allowed to go on the upper
deck when the boat was in action. 1t is
said by some of them that they were ae-
tually seasick. This scene never fails to
get from five to six curtain calls.
In the last act, the title of which is AS
we would nave it, the Captain is re-
stored TO his position and family. A pc
culiar thing about this piece was the way
the Dreyfus case was Immediately
opened after its production. Allen Dale.
in his criticism on this piece, says that
the authors have brought Dreyfus to a
fate that hi is unlikely to achieve. Ms
error of this was shown when on the next
day all the papers in the country rang
with the news of the suicide Of Colonel
Henry, his confession of forgeries, and the
likelihood that the unfortunate Captain
would have a new trial. The way the al
fair is following the play is something

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER II. 1898.
THIS paper is Democratic IN principles
and is i-adepeadeat in ats giers on all local
Gas il, Trenton.

Trenton is blessed beyond every other
city in the State. The dream Of her
householders has come to pass. With
flags flying and with much feasting and
jolliication generally the new gas COM
pany on Tuesday inaugurated a system CT
gift enterprise gas which few citizens
thought they would ever live to see. Oae
of the companies which are competing
for the city's patronage has cut the price
to Is cents a thousand feet, and the other
to % cents.
Now it is needless to- say this is nom
sense. No company can supply gas at
any such prices and live. Not even gas
of poor quality can be manufactured ard
distributed at less than Is cents a thou
sand, and this price can be reached oEty
under exceptionally favorable conditions.
From 81 to SIPS per thousand appears to
be the reasonable price of gas under the
existing conditions of cost for labor and
raw material.
The Trenton prices are a product not of
fair but of cut-throat competition, and in
the end the consumers can gain, no bene-
fit. Both companies are sustaining enor-
nous losses while the idiotic war con-
tinues. which they will certainly assess
on their patrons when the quarrel is over.
One of two things must soon happen.
Either the weaker. p will go to
smash and the other one will nave a mon
opoly. or else the companies will be
forced to make a deal on distribution Of
business and standard of price. thus
equally producing q monopoly. When the
monopoly comes, no matter by which
method. then the companies will compen-
safe themselves for their present losses,
and the public will have to pay not only a
fair price for gas, but also interest on in
vestment in unnecessary miles of pipe, on
works and tanks and all the double para
phernalia of the "ex-competing'' concerns.
There are two sorts of competition,-the
healthy. which controls prices, in which
the competing parties cut their figures to
the lowest point at which they can make
a profit, and the wildcat species, which
has ultimate monopoly in view, ard
which cuts prices irrationally in order to.
kill off reasonable competition.
