ORDINANCE PASSED,
The Lawerence Township Authorities Pass
the Ordince Without Amendment.

The Lawerence Township IN shor1ties Pass
the Ordince Without Amendment,
Cedarville, Wednesday, was the
scene OF considerable trolley enthusiasm.
The Lawrence Township Committee met
there to consider the passage of the or
dinance giving the extension from Fair
ton to Cedarville.
There was not a single argument
against the extension, and more strange
was the fact that there was not single
remonstrance against the proposed route,
or laying of the rails.
In fact nobody seemed to be anxious to
discuss the matter. The people wanted
action, and wanted it quick. The evil
dent belief was that the sooner the orii-
nance was passed the sooner the cars
would be running.
The Township Committee passed the
ordinance without amendment and unani-
mously too. 1t was exceedingly crafty
ing to the company and met the pleasure
ofthe people.
This afternoon the trolley will be dis
cussed in Fairton. The Fairfield Town
ship Committee meets there to take up
the ordinance giving the franchise to lay
tracks from the post office to the Law
renee township line. The indications are
that the ordinance will be passed.

numbers of men.
Those who are foremost lin the nova

Pleasing Words.

Governor Voorhees, will have no trouble
in parcelling out the plums for Cumber-
land Republicans. The leaders of the
county organization have agreed upon T.
w. Trenchard, the former Assemblyman,
for county Judge, while it is settled prac-
tically that J. Hampton Fithian will be-
come the Prosecutor. There are few
brighter or more energetic Republicans
in all Cumberland than these two, and in
honoring them with Office the Governor
will gain the hearty applause of discrim-
mating party men, as well as fair-minded
members of the legal profession.-At-

WILL BE PASSED.
The People of Fairton, all Urge the Exten-
sion of the Road To Cedar

The meeting of the Fairfield Township
Committee at Fairton Thursday, to con-
slider the ordinance to give the Traction
Company power to extend the tracks
through Fairfield to Lawrence, was
attended by large number of people,
nearly two hundred persons being pres
ent.
Only two members of the committe,
Messrs. Williams and Lamont, were
present, Mr.. Ogden being detained, owing
to illness.
The ordinance was considered and an
urgent invitation was extended for those
present to express their views upon the
matter.
There was but one sentiment, and that
was all favorable to the extension of the
road. There was some disposition to ask
the Company for lower rate of fare,
but the argument was all opposed to tn
theory. as the population ::of Fairton, at
this time, was not sufficiently large to
support the trolley with less rate than
is now offered.
Every person who spoke urged the ex :
tension of the cars, not one opposed the
scheme. The people wanted the benefit
of the cars. and fully expressed them
selves to that end.
After all the argument was over the
two members of the committee felt that
the measure should not be acted upon
until Mr.. Ogden could be present, and
the final passage of the ordinance was
deferred one week; or until next Thurs
day.
1t can be positively stated that the
ordinance will be passed at that time
and nothing will be in the way of the
Company proceeding with its cars to
Csdarville.

A Remedy for the Grippe.

A remedy recommended for patients
afflicted with the Grippe is Kemp's
Balsam, which is especially adapted to
diseases of the throat and lungs. Do not
wait for the first symptoms of the disease,
but get bottle to-day and keep it on
hand for use the moment it is needed.
If neglected the grippe has tendency to
bring on pneumonia. The Balsam pre-
vents this by keeping the cough loose.
All druggists sell the Balsam. 81 4w

GLASSWORKBRs AND CASH BILLS,
Senator Stanger's Amendment May Now
Be IndOrsed

oouator SIanSers Amendment May Now
Be Indorsed.
GLAssBoRo, N. j., Feb. 3-An appar-
ent misunderstanding on the part of the
leaders among the glassblowers relative
to Senator Stanger's bill affecting their
wages. was brought to light, through the
action of Unions No. 2 and 8, indorsing
Senator Stokes bill, and placing them
selves in opposition to the Stanger
measure The latter waited upon the
Blowers Committee and explained the
matter. His amendment, he says, was
not offered to the Stokes BILL but intro
duced for the purpose of amending the
Eighth section of the law of April l6, 1896.
This sections reads: 1.-The provisions of
this act shall not apply to, or affect any
contract now existing, or that shall here
after be entered into between any manu-
facturer or corporation, and any en-
ployer or employees, or any bona fide
trades union or labor orgapizations.''
The amendment, if passed, will compel
manufacturers, it is claimed, to pay their
workmen in cash, and will accomplish
the same purpose as the Stokes bill, now
pending in the Senate. The Blowers
Committee notified the officials, and as a
result the workers will probably rescind
their former action, so far as it relates to
the Stanger amendment,

STOKES ON TRUSTS.
He Permits an Interview with the Phila-
delphia Press"


The Philadelphia Press seems to be
greatly exercised just now with the laws
of this state which permit great corpora
to be organized here. The fact is Pen
nsylvania is jealous of the surplus money
that New Jersey is getting in the treasury.
The Press tackled Senator Stokes upon
the subject. and obtained the following
very interesting and sensible interview:
The relation of trusts to the State of
New jersey" said Senator Stokes, sis
matter of a few words. This State is in
nowise responsible for the existence of
trusts. They are the product of modern
civilization. and grow out of the tend
ency toward large organizations. 1 am
convinced that the laws of New jersey
do not favor trusts above the laws of
other States. These corporations can
organize in other States as we'll as here.
The reason for them organizing here is
largely due to the fact that the corpora
tion laws of other States are loosely and
crudely drawn, while the laws of New
Jersey are perhaps from all points of
view, the very best in the world, not ex-
cepting the English limited act of 1862.
''The tendency OF legislation in other
States is to model after the laws of New
Jersey, SO far as this subject is concerned
The State of New York is now moving
in this direction, and bill is being pre-
pared modifying the New York corpo-
ration laws along the lines of the New
Jersey statutes.
"The question of the taxation of these
organized business companies of great
capital is one of revenue only, and
should be considered separate and apart
from the questions of trusts themselves.
"This question of taxation must be
considered in connection with the needs
of the State Treasury. No nation or
State has right to extort from citizen
any more tax than will afford a sufficient
revenue for an economical administra-
ton OF its affairs.
IF trusts are wrong they should be
dealt with in more statesman-like man
ner than that of prohibitory taxation. If
trusts are wrong, and have no right to
exist, the State has no right to tax them
at all. Otherwise it becomes party to
the wrong, for a consideration and a
price. If trusts have right to exist,
they should be taxed in a spirit of judicial
fairness, and not in spirit of prejudice.
! 1.-THE revenues of the State Of New Jer-
sey are unquestionably the envy of less
fortunate Commonwealths. Our affairs
have been splendidly managed. We have
been able through wise and economical
administration to assist tho several coun-
ties in the care of the insane and other
dependent wards. We have added to our
State school appropriation, we have re
manded back to the taxing districts about
100000 of the railroad tax and we are in a
fair way now to still further assist in the
relief of the burdens of local taxation by
paying part of the State school tax"

The Supreme Court Clerk has notified
parties interested, tina the Supreme
Court has confirmed the conviction of
Sarah G. Munyan.
1t will be remembered that jury con-
victed Miss Munyan of serious crime.
She was sentenced by Judge Hoagland,
and before the sentence could be carried
into effect the case was removed from the
lower court to the Supreme Court. The
case was argued there ny ex-Judge West
c)tt and Hon. Thomas w. Trenchard,
counsel for the defendant. The States
case was looked after by Prosecutor
Logne.
1t is presumed that the decision of the
Supreme Court will end the case, and
Miss Munyan will be called upon to suf-
fer the sentence of the Court.
