AFTER GRIP

There is no denying the serious
fact that there is great amount
of sickness from the grip; that
overworked men and women now
suffer more than at any other time
of the year from lassitude, head
aches, slight chills and fever and
other symptoms of imperfect
health; that people fall sick more
readily now than at any other
time of the year; and that when
ever an epidemic does appear it
invariably plays havoc with those
who are run down and out of con-
dition.
The utmost caution should be
taken to keep the blood pure and
the nervous system in healthy tone.
There is no more excuse for the
prevalent symptoms of stagnant,
impure blood in the body than
there is for the barbarism of filthy
streets in a city.
The relaxed and sluggish &C
ton of the excretory organs loads
the body with waste material that
poisons it and brings on headaches,
rheumatic pains, sleepless nights
and proftless days, due solely to
the circulation in the blood, or
deposit in the tissues, of these
waste matters which Paine's Gel
cry compound alone will quickly
drive out.
When the arms, hips or back
feel the twlnges of acute rheuma-
tism it is high time to relieve the
kidneys and bladder from the
strain that so often brings on
Bright's disease, gravel, dropsy
and complications of diseases with
other organs whose health depends
upon the purity of the blood.
Prompt use of Paine's celery COM
pound will save the weakened
parts from yielding to disease.
In its peculiar ability to invig-
crate the body, to make new blood
and to regulate the nerves, lies
the great value of Paine's celery
compound in all wasting diseases
and disorders of the kidneys, liver
and stomach.
Paine's celery compound res
cues shaky, enfeebled nerves from
prostration and removes that feel
ing OF utter exhaustion that causes
SO much dependency among SO
many worried men and women.
1t makes flesh, blood and strong
nerves.
Paine's celery compound is not
patent medicine! 1t is not the
discovery of some quack doctor of
whom his profession never heard;
it is not a concoction put up by
some man who first invented a
name, and then adopted prep
aration to fit it; it is not a secret
remedy.

WHY Republicans should be ready, and
in some cases apparently anxious, to aid
Democrats in carrying out their desires is
something we have never been able to dis
cover. Yet there are instances of this
sort constantly occurring. At the last
meeting of the Board of Freeholders a
measure favorable to the Democrats was
about to be presented and notwithstand-
ing the fact there was majority of that
party in control, with the leader present,
Republican member almost fell over
himself in his anxiety to be the first to
make the motion. Another instance is re-
ported in connection with the appoint
ment of an oyster commissioner for this
county. 1t has been the custom at the
expiration of the term of three years to
which these commissioners are appointed,
to introduce bill in the Legislature in
which is named the person who is to be
given the position. The bill was pre-
pared this year as usual, and in spite of
the fact that the Legislature is Republi-
can and that the county is also strongly
of that persuasion, Assemblyman Horner
had the name of a prominent Democrat
inserted and was making arrangements to
secure the passage of the bill in that
shape Fortunately the matter reached
the ears of some members of the county
executive committee and Joel was called
down. His only excuse was that the man
who was to have been the recipient of
the plum at his hands was one who had
aided him in getting votes in the last cleo
ton, for which service he had been prom
Used reward. The value of this person
in getting votes may be estimated when it
is known the Republican Legislative can
didates ran 10 behind their ticket in that
This practice of bargaining
with Democrats is out of date. If man
is Republican let him show it in all his
actions, and not be so ready to aid those
who would throw his own party over if
they got chance. True Republicans do
not work that way, but once in a while there
are those discovered who are for them
selves above all other considerations. 1t
is little encouragement for men who con-
tribute time and money for the good of
the party to be compelled to witness
those for whose election they have put
forth their energies calmly pass the of
fees and other gifts over to men whose
whole study has been to secure the sue
cess of the opposition, and who would be
the first to clamor for the ousting of Re
publican officeholders.

OF all uncalled for, inconsistent criti-
cisms ever published is that in last weeks
Democrat on Freebooter Darnell in con-
nection with his report on the collection
of illegal fees for the arrest of tramps.
Because he expressed an opinion that it
against the officers the Democrat accuses
him of partisanship and of Offering a pre-
MUM on rascality Those who are ac-
quainted with Mr.. Darnell know just how
much weight to put upon these statements.
His reputation in this county for hon
esty, honorable dealings and upright
character is too well established to be
swept away or even tainted by a state
ment that he sis putting a premium on
rascality." When Mr.. Darnell speaks on
any subject you may rest assured he is
voicing his honest opinion, even if it does
not accord with that of others, or even if
it may turn out to be wrong. Why does
the Democrat single Mr.. Darnell in this
case The committee which made the re-
port was composed of three persons, two
of them Democrats, one being DR.. Con-
row. lauded in the same paper as "a YER
liable watchdog of the peoples interests. :"
Where was he when Mr.. Darnell made the
remark which has heaped upon his head

in the room; he read the report. Why
did he not lift up his voice in protest and
demand action in the premises? Simply

Continental Hotel, at New Brunswick,
and member of the Board of Water
Commissioners, died Friday afternoon. Mr..
Becker was found unconscious in his bed
room. Restoratives were applied, but he
sank rapidly. 1t was said that his room
was full of gas, which was escaping from
a jet, but DR.. P. A. Shannon says that
there was no indication of gas inhalation
in Mr.. Becker's condition and no odor in
the room. He could not tell the exact
cause of death. Mr.. Becker was born in
Prussia 60 years ago. He leaves widow

WHEN the Board of Freeholders assem-
bles in special session next month the sub
ject of according privileges to the Mon
mouth Trolley Company will be discussed.
Not only will the members of the Board
have voice on the question but the gen
eral public will be given an opportunity
to express opinion. The discussion will
probably open with the idea that the
trolley is bound to come, and with this
idea in view there may be disposition on
the part of some to grant anything asked
by the corporation and thus get rid of a
subject that has caused more or less
trouble during the past year. This should
not be the case. The rights of the people
on the highways of the county are just as
valuable now as when the trolley com
pany began to girdle the county with its
iron rails. The trolley people are entitled
to fair hearing and the granting of priv
ileges on business principles-the people
have right to protection. The fran
chise sought is of value, but there is no
reason why an exorbitant rate should be
placed upon it. The public should care
fully consider this subject within the next
two weeks and appear in force at the
meeting which will give it consideration
and possibly finally dispose of it. What
ever the result it will be well to bear in
mind the recent statement of State Com
missioner Budd to the effect that no cor
poration should be allowed to use our
public highways without giving full COM
pensation for the privilege.

WANAMAKER,S.

Philadelphia, Monday, February 20, 1892
when l was first married." said
a lady friend of the store, SHOP
ping was pretty serious work. Our
income was small; needs a-plenty.
But what of that ? The stores were
relentless. Some were notable for
high prices; others catered to 'popu-
ular trade. But one had to decide
for keeps. Stores didn't take goods
back; very seldom even allowed ex-
changes for other goods. If, in
poor light and under the gaze of a
Salesperson that 'just looked through
one, mistaken choice was made,
my poor little allowance shrunk by
that much if gave the goods away,
or I had something that seemed to
last forever because loathed its
sight.
"Wanamaker's came into exist
ence and with it spirit of liberality
"a seemingly whole-souled desire
to please. But it is useless to repeat
this part. Everybody knows that
what is bought in haste or in error
can be taken back, and shopping is
really a pleasure.
It was venture-this building
business without pattern hewing
from untried possibilities. But it
proved to be
A LIKEABLE STORE.
1t is not a department store, of
hodge-podge counters filled with
goods bought at random, but it is a
store made up of stores-each quite
as complete in itself as is the indi-
vidual apple tree of the orchard.
Dress Goods store, now the most
comprehensive in the land, as well
as chief seller of exclusive elegance.
Carpet store, far more complete
than any individual carpet store.
Shoe store, that turned thousands
of pairs of good solid shoes to the
governm ent's use when even manu-
facturers halted.
And so on-the whole one sys-
TEN, one ownership, one vast help
full store.
Authors gain a public-a clientele
not of owned adherents, but of sat-
isfed readers.
The store has gained its public
not of blind dependents, but of
purse-string holders who have proved
it. Fine threads, spun by sympathy
and twisted by real affection, draw
Our Public to US.
This Public grows in numbers-is
growing faster now than at any date
in the stores history. The rein
forcements come from among our
own neighbors who have had this
fact forced home to them: That this
store is
DAILY OFFERING
GREATEST STOCKS
AND
CHARGING LEAST PRICES
FOR
GUARANTEED GOODS.
And the facts are logical. The
business is in excess of that done by
any other American retail store and
it is conducted in buildings which,
though we are sometimes ashamed
of their exterior looks, are almost
rent-free. Every nook is interesting
now-and almost every one is hold
ing a stock at the top-notch of readi-
ness for you.

Two appointments by Governor Voor-
bees, made last week, appear to give gen
eral satisfaction. They are those of Sen
ator Sewell to be COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the National Guard, and State Superin-
tendent Baxter to succeed himself. The
latter gentleman has shown himself so
thoroughly efficient in his position as to
make him valuable officer The appoint
ment of Senator Sewell to be the head of
our National Guard is the best that could
be considered, the only drawback being a
fear that the Senator's numerous duties
will prevent him from accepting the po-
sition. Should he decide to accept, the
people of New Jersey may rest assured
OF the reorganization of the State Guard
in truly military and business like man
ner. Gen. Sewell last evening accepted
the appointment.

FROM the Toms River Courier is taken
the following item: Complaint is made
that oyster shells are taken from the State
grounds where they are put by the Com
missioners and from shell reefs in the bay,
and sold for road purposes and for filing
bridge abutments in township not very
far from Tuckerton-but not in Ocean. +"
Where is the Oyster Commissioner If
we are not mistaken he lives in the town
ship where it is charged this practice &C.
ours. From all accounts an investigation
not only into the matter of oyster shells,
but into many other affairs-state and
county, might be made, in that township,
with the possibility of some very interest
ing developments.

WHEN Judge Gaskill pronounced SEN
tence on the chicken thieves recently, he
held punishment hanging over their heads
to be inflicted in case the Court of Par
dons released them on parole. This was
novel procedure, but Judge Gaskill
evidently took into consideration all the
facts IN connection with the stas prison
when he acted. The fact is the state in
stltution is very much crowded, and to
make room for the criminals of high
grade it is absolutely necessary to release
on parole some of minor Importance
Chicken thieves do not naturally come
under the latter heading, but there is a
chance they might be so considered That
the state prison is crowded does not indi-
cate an increase of crime in our state, for
there is condition in this matter of i'm
prisonment not generally known At the
present time there are in the prison at
Trenton 800 prisoners sent up by the
United States courts Our institution
seems to be favorite place for sending
this class of criminals. Of course the
United States pays for the expense of
keeping these persons, the bill for the last
three months being about $4,000 But
even this is no reason why New Jer-
sey should have more than its share of
government cases, thereby being com
PEELED to build new wings to the prison at
the capital, and to make large appropria-
lions for reformatories elsewhere.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1899.

A COMMUNICATIONS has been received
from "a taxpayer of Bass River town
ship, in which there are charges of a
serious nature. While the publication
might do good, the proper place to send it
is to the office of the Prosecutor of the
Pleas. If, as the writer says, he will
prove every one of his statements, if
necessary, there should be little trouble in
having the matter attended to in way it
deserves to be. That would be of more
effect than a column of print.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

The brewers are just like the Gamers.
They never, under any circumstances, use
anything but the best and purest mater
ials, entirely free from chemicals; but just
watch them kick against any law which
takes them at their word.
1t is announced that the British Gov
eminent has come to no decision as yet
concerning the proposed Pacific cable. All
the more reason why the United States
Government should at once come to such
decision, and, more than that, should at
once proceed to have such a cable laid,
with every landing of it upon United
States property, and the whole thing I'M
der the control of the United States Gov
eminent.
The rumor that the United States Gov
eminent is going to buy out the Panama
Canal Company and carry its ill-conceived
work to completion has probably no bet
ter basis of fact than the numerous other
tales that have been put forth in the in
bCISob VI Iuc dudHld SLOCkuOlQcIS Ills,
however, may be pretty confidently taken
for granted, that no canal will ever be
completed and operated across any part
of the Central American isthmus that is
not under United States control.
Congress has just passed, with scarcely
a dissenting voice, a river and a harbor
bill appropriating total of about $780,,
000, 900. AS foreign ships are now carry
ing nearly 80 per cent. of our overseas
trade, nine out of every ten dollars spent
in improving our chief ports goes to the
direct benefit of foreign ship owners. If
the American people can afford to spend
the greater part of $50, 100000 next year
to promote the maritime interests of
Great Britain and France and Germany
and Italy and Norway, they can certainly
afford to spend 81, zoo, 900 to promote the
of the shipowners of the United
States. There is not a nation in the
world which does so much for foreign
as the United States does That
is all right but it is only fair and just to
give our own ships and our own sailors a
fighting chance Boston Journal.

To oRITIoIsE a public officer for the
good of the people, regardless of conse-
quences, is all right, but to Jump" man
merely for personal reasons is despicable
This, however, is the position which the
Democrat occupied last week when it
turned its wrath on some of the county
officials. This is especially true in the
case of the attack on Solicitor Chambers
1t is well-known fact that the paper has
had grudge against Mr.. Chambers for a
long time, not new affair, but legacy
handed down by numerous editors and
managers who have preceded the pres
ent incumbents The article last week re-
ferring to the collection of fees by Mr.
Chambers would never have appeared but
for desire to cast spiteful stone. In
support of this statement we can refer to
several instances where criticisms of Dem
ocrats might have resulted beneficially,
but the paper remained as mute as a clam
Take the case of Director Mathis, who is
shown to have overcharged the county.
Has the Democrat criticised him? The
county solicitor has drawn considerable
money from the treasury, it is true, but
he has rendered just service for all he has
received, and there is not Democratic
lawyer in the county who would have
done the work for one cent less. Of the
5000 which Mr.. Chambers is charged with
burse him for money expended for the
benefit of the county. And the bills were
passed by Democratic board, too.
