The New York Tribune" appears to be
making an attempt for once to be hon
estly better h its party. 1t has come
out in unqualified opposition to the re-
enactment Of the sunset election law, for
which some of the Republicans of this
county are clamoring. The Tribune
plainly states that, should the bill be-
come a law, it would lose to the Repuo-
iican party the votes of $4,000 railroad
men and Others, without particularly
specifying in what manner those votes
will be lost.
This sunset election law was a great
fad w.t. John j. Gardner, the present
Representative in Congress of the Second
District Of his State. In those days, he
was in the State Senate from Atlantic
County. and he conceived the idea that if
the polls were closed at an early hour
thousands of Democratic workmen in
Hudson ana Essex Counties, who hurried
to their work early in the morning, would

had mueh to say about the frauds COM
United In these counties after dark, and
he succeeded in working up a temporary
sentiment favorable to the idea. The
Republicans were then in control of the
Legislature and enacted the law. Soon
afterward the Democrats were restored
to power by the people and the law was
repealed. The Republicans had mean
while discovered tina the law not only
failed to decrease the Democratic ma
jorities but materially interfered with
sundry and divers schemes of their OWL.
and although they have had control of
the Legislature for several years past,
they have made no attempt to revive the
measure until this year.
The measure is a most oppressive one.
Thousands of men nave to work on Eiec-
tion Day, and they are the very class OF
workers who begin early and end late.
They cannot possibly get to the polls in
the morning, and If they were shut out
at four or even five o'clock, they would
be robbed, to all intents and purposes, of
their citizenship. Thes Tribune is doing
a public service in combating so afro
cious a proposal, and 1t is really doing
it's party q service in displaying some
regard for the rights of the people.

THE election of Carl Lentz as Chair
man Of the Essex County Republican
Committee, last Friday night, was an act
worthy of the corrupt gang by which it
was perpetrated. Lentz is still under
charges Of a disgraceful kind as a mem
Der OF The State bar, and proceedings to
expel him from the profession are still
pending. 1t is true there is a theoretical
possibility of his innocence; but it is a
funny thing for a great political party
to place at It's head a man whose reputa-
tion is in doubt. and who is not exactly

WHEN the usually accurate Trenton
correspondent of the Philadelphia Rec
ord goes on his Christmas holidays
again, he viii lave to thoroughly post
his understudy SO that there will not APP
pear, in his correspondence, such ridicu-
lous blunders as that which was printed,

"But," said Stephana, timidly,

should like to see your own rooms"
The general led her up another flight
of stairs and showed her a severely
plain little room, in which an iron bed
stead and many books were the chief
objects that. met the eye.
"That is my room, said the general,
briefly, turning away and leading
Stephana down the stairs again. AT
their foot he paused and said:
81 shall now take you to my mothers
boudoir, where you will see her."
He pronounced the last word with a
solemn tone. Then he opened a door,
and at the further end of beautiful
chamber Stephana saw, seated in q
large chair, wonderful old lady, whose
hair looked like spun silver, and whose
cheeks looked like wax.
Mother" said the general, there is
a boy, who has set out on his travels,
and who has come TO learn about my
great deeds. 1 have shown him my
best"
Stephana looked up in wonder and
said:
You have shown me only splendid
home, which you seem to have made all
for your mother"
"And that is the best deed l ever
did," replied the general. warmly; for
I can never do enough for the mother
who gave up all her young life to teach
ing me b. w to be man."
But" said the wonderful old lady
in sweet voice, "a good son is a
mothers glory"
But a good mother is a sons life, "
said the general. And, after mo-
ment's pause, he added:
MY boy, women are the mothers OF
men, and, therefore, they are greater,
nobler and more beautiful than men,
who owe to them all that they are. h
all ages men have sung the praises OF
women. and in the world to come they
will HYMN the honor of their mothers
before the throne of Him who doeth all
things we'll"
The generals voice became round and
solemn as he spoke the last words, and
Stephana passed out Of the room, leav-
ing him kneeling beside his mother as
he must have done in boyhood. Steph-
ma soon found herself once more on
the highway, and now she discovered
that she was indeed very weary, for she
had walked many miles. So she lay
down under an oak, and III Il few min
utes went fast asleep. And she
dreamed that she saw the little old
woman in the black gown and the red
tippet. And the little old woman said
10 her:
"Are you satisfied?"
And Stephana answered: YES"
Straightway she awoke, and saw that
she was lying under the old willow be-
side the brook. She also discovered
that the feet had become small and
we're shod with her own pretty red
shoes; that her limbs had got their
graceful roundness again, and that her
skirts were about them; that her arms
were round and dimpled, her shoulders
and her chest plump, and her hands
smooth and white.
"Oh," she cried, Springing joyfully
to her feet, I'm not boy! I'm girl!
And I'm going to be good sister to
Joseph. And some day I may have also
a husband and son. Ard maybe, if l
do right, I shall be the light OF their
lives, like the sister of the merchant,

So she went home and made the
house merry with her singing.--N. Y,

AFRICAN RIVERS.
Eight Months Out of Twelve They
Are Dry and Drifts of Sand
Mark Their Course.

It is distinguishing feature of most
African rivers that they contain no
water for at least eight months Of the
year. It is true that water can almost
always be found in q river bed by dig
ging for it, but in outward appearances
n river is usually broad belt of sand
lying between high and precipitous
banks. Many and many a coach has
been upset in one of these drifts, as
they are called. The descent is always
steep, frequently so steep that the
brakes cannot hold the coach, says
Gentleman's Magazine.
They start going down at crawl,
and then the coach gathers way and
goes on with a rush, the mules are
driven into a heap anyhow, and one
wonders that they do not get their legs
broken; but they usually land all right
while the coach, practically unmanage-
able, goes down like sort of toboggan'
jumping from stone to stone, and sway
ing like a ship in sudden squall, and
may or may not arrive right side upper
most at the bottom. In fact, the pas
eenger who has gathered his ideas OF
coaching from trip to Brighton or
drive to Virginia Water, finds that he
has a lot to learn about the subject
when he gets to South Africa. Still, on
the whole, it was wonderful how few
accidents did occur, and if one consid-
CTS that the coaches ran night and day,
and that when there was no moon 1t
would sometimes be too dark to see
The mules from off the coach, it reflects
great credit on the drivers.

GENTLENEss IN WAR.
& Singular Characteristic of the
Samoans-An Illustrative
Incident.

War is savage in its very nature, and
one looks for war among savages to be
peculiarly barbarous. That such is not
always the case among the people OF
Samoa is attested by letter sent from
Samoa by an American gentleman who
recently visited Apia, and who gives
description OF Mataafa's army in camp
after battle between the rival claim
ants to the throne, says Youths Com
panion.
I'VE went all about among the huts
where the savages were resting after
the battle and making preparations for
the next fight. 1t was very peaceful
scene, for their arms were all concealed
under the mats where the men sat, and
many of the soldiers were accompanied
by their wives and children. They
were amusing themselves by smoking
and beating tom-toms.
1.-The Samoans are a most amiable
race of savages, and white people are al
ways perfectly safe among them.
Everywhere we were greeted with
smiles and friendly mods and the saluta-
ton, 'Talofa,' which means Love to
YOU from men, women and children.
Zone instance of their friendly feel
Ing occurred during the big battle. A
white man, who lived in the street
where they were fighting, saw that two
of his horses had strayed out between
the hostile lines. He did not want to
lose them, and he did not want to ven
ture out in the line of fire. So he stuck
a white flag out of his window. Upon
seeing it, both chiefs ordered their men
to stop firing, and hostilities were sus-
pended while the white man went out
and drove his horses to place of shell
ter. Then the combatants went at it
again."

Ohio Rride Thought OF Them at Every
Step During Her Mar
rIage.

A good story is being whispered
around about one of the beautiful
brides of the other week. She was mar
ried in a big church with the usual ac-
compartments of flowers and pretty
bridesmaids. Everyone remarked how
perfectly beautiful the bride looked as
she walked up the aisle on the arm OF
her father to meet the bridegroom wait
ing at the altar.
After the wedding breakfast, and
Just as the bride was preparing to start
for the depot to catch the afternoon
train for her honeymoon, an old school
friend of her mother came to her,
kissed her on both cheeks, and said:
"My dear child, you were the most
perfectly lovely bride that 1 have seen
this winter. AS you walked up the aisle
to meet the man who was so soon to be
your husband, everyone could see from
the half-frightened yet trustful look
upon your face and the firm yet tender
smile about your mouth that you were
thinking of the serious Importance OF
the step that you were taking. Your
very look seemed to say: 4 am leaving
my girlhood behind me and going forth
upon an untried sea, but SO great is my
trust in him whom 1 have chosen that l
step forward without fear and in per-
feet confidence Tell me, my dear, just
what the thoughts were which brought
that lovely expression upon your face
this morning"
every well, will tell YOU" said the
bride, exactly what my thoughts were
as walked up the aisle. My mother,
who, as you know, is much smaller
woman than am, for some sentimental
reason insisted upon my wearing at the
altar the very silken hose in which she
was married to my father 20 years ago.
They were so tight for me that at each
step I kept repeating to myself: This
time they will surely split! This time
they will surely split And when l
reached the altar without accident l
was so much relieved that probably
did wear the look of bliss which every
body mentioned. "-Washington Times

upon one gloved finger, possibly to dis

because the pose suited her, probably
for both reasons.
