THERE IS no vacancy in the position of
keeper OF the court house. says our friend,
Inc Democrat, and calmly asserts that the
present incumbent, J. Henry Heaviland.
viii continue to hold the position given
MIN by a Democratic Board of Freehold
ers despite the fact that the new Board
Will be Republican. Some of Heprv's
Democratic friends are also offering to bet
that Henry will not be disturbed. The
basis for all these assurances is that tn
present keeper of the court house is an
oid soldier and under an act passed in
lcSo cannot be removed except for cause.
Now this law was in existence in 1898 lust
Inc same as it is now yet that did not pre-
vent the Democratic majority from remoy
me an cid soldier to make room for one Of
ene opposite political faith. 1t is limited
that q lawsuit may follow the removal of
the present keeper, but that is hardly
iikely, as, in that case, Wilbur F. Shinn,
who was removed in Heaviland's behalf.
may also resort to legal measures to see
why ne was interfered with. AS he had
2 prior claim to the Office it is perfectly
plain that the decision on which so much
stress is now laid, will affect him ahead
OF any other. It is rather late for our
democratic friends to show such unusual
solicitude for the old soldiers when we
review their action last spring.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local application as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the law. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that il
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the

When this tube is inflamed you have i
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when II Is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
formal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten arc
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing bui
an 1nflamed condition of the mucous sur,
