The fishermen of Salem county will
remember this Fall Mr.. Loudenslager's
neglect of their interests He stood by
and did nothing to stop the contractors
dumping their dredging refuse in Hog
Neck channel and in the Sleeps, the first
running the fishing of those in the upper
part of our county and in Gloucester, and
the latter running the best drift in the

none to spare to save the bread and butter

Foster Nj. Voorhees, might increase the
attendance at his dreary meetings by tax
ing Governor Watkins along. The people
Of New Jersey would like to see their chief
executive, who is known to very few per-
sons out of his own county, and the an
nouncement that he was to make a speech
would draw well. If Attorney General
Griees could be persuaded to come on
from Washington the effect would be still
more attractive. New jersey never before
had three Governors 10 single year aud
probably never will have again. The
spectacle OF such Republican aggrega-
ton could not fail to interest all lovers Of

The increase Of judgeships in New Jersey
goes on pace. There are forty-four
Judges, counting the Supreme and Appel
late Judges, the Chancery Judges and the
Law Judges in counties. In the whole Of
England, including County Judges, the
Queens Bench, the Exchequer, the Bank
ruptcy. etc, there are only ninety-three
Judges, or only abous double the number
in New jersey. England has population
of nearly thirty millions, and its property
and wealth and business interests are inn
mensely greater than those OF this State.
If we are ever TO have judicial reforms, the
number of the judgeships and the expense
therefore will be materially reduced.

years of reform over the three Democratic
years of extravaganza Melted the handsome
sum of 81 .468, 812.43.
Or nearly half million of dollars
$500,000) annually.
During all these years of wasted reye-
nues, Foster NJ Voorhees, was posing in
the Senate, as an original and continued
reformer, Mortified at Democratic ex-
travagance and talking to the galleries
about the excellence of his management of
State affairs
When be came to be Governor and to
enjoy the modest salary of $4,000 year,
he could find objection to no part of the
nearly $2,5OO,OOO expenditures, but the
81, 500 salary of a clerk to keep the ac-
counts of the Teachers Pension Fund, and
an appropriation of $4,000 to the building
of stone roads throughout the State.
AS a link between the Democratic past
and the Republican present, Foster NJ
Voorhees, serves to illustrate the perfect
emptiness of Republican criticism and the
utter failure of promised reform.

Not quite that, Bro. Barber. The Demo
Gratis have added nothing to the judicial
finding. Vice Chancellor Pitney did moi
say be was "a horrid, bad man." he simply
said that he deceived his business partners
stealthfully took from them $15, 522.S0, and
decreed that he pay it back. And the
Court of Errors sustained this view. "Hor-
rid. bad' is not the English term for such
acts. One Anglo-Saxon word expresses it
better than "horrid-bad."

The Republican party obtained power
in this State upon the plea that Demo-
cratic government has been corrupt and
extrayagsnt. The expenditures in 1898
were 81, S57, 982.SS. A Republican Legisla-
ture increased them to 81 $3.50, 255.22 in
1894 and with the aid of Republican
Governor the amount reached $23l3,-

that the public will be allowed to know
before election what it is in 1898. Simply
as a matter of business the people should
make change at Trenton.

A PECULIAR CONTROVERSY.

Republican Must Be a Democratic
Candidate Against His Will.
La Crosse, Wis, Nov. ga very I'M
usual action was brought in the cir
cult court here yesterday, and as a re-
suit Major ]. Kircheis, of the Third
Wisconsin volunteers, a Republican, is
compelled to accept the nomination for
sheriff of La Crosse county on the
Democratic ticket against his will.
While the major was in Porto Rico
the Democratic convention nominated
him for sheriff without his consent or
knowledge. His regiment has just re-
turned from Porto Rico on 60 days fur
Tough and he did not reach home until
Monday, two days too late to file his
declination of the nomination. He re-
fused to run, and the county clerk re-
fused to put his name on the official
ticket. Democratic County Chairman
Mahony then brought an action in the
circuit court to compel the county
clerk to place Kircheis' name on the
ticket, and won his case.
Judge Wynlap. in his ruling, held
that the law required that a. declination
be filed nine days before the election,
and that it was not for the court to
put any different construction on the
statute, and therefore Major Kircheis'
name must go on the ticket Major
Kircheis made an excellent record in
Porto Rico as an army officer, and it is
conceded that he will be elected by a
large majority. but he Is still an army
officer. His regiment may not be mus
tered out until long after he has been
elected, and he will not accept office.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating
of it, And the test of an administration is
in it's acts.

extravaganza and wasteful expenditure of
the public money.

The expenditures in the last three
Democratic years were as follows, as re-
