geese or viea versa IS an open question.

Correspondent A. promised tie readers
Of the World about 4 weeks ago TO tran
slate something from Elias Wick, but it
has not appeared as yet and in his latest
he declares the article was not interesting
and would not pay for the work of tran
lation but the truth is he could not get
the gentleman from Lynn TO translate il

that the article would not pay for the
labor.
MIR. 4. a word about your statements.
Before election you stated that the per
sons holding Office in Rari,an and those
nominating them FOR anothcrt ERIN formed
a selfish political ring and it should be
the duty Of every voter to help smash the
ring as they were trying to capture the
whole cheese; also that Nail Hammer
was distributing correspondents and after
election YOU declared the ring was
smashed. You we're called upon Ia prove
your statements, but instead Of doing so
YOU set up a wall that Nail Hammer ha6
attacked you and entertained most hostile
feelings by reason of not being elected
assessor. Hammer cIinched YOU ON that
now in your latest YOU think that Nail
Hammer has pounded his thumb and
advise hin 10 stop the pain and stop
swearing. You are perfectly aware that
iiaInnler treal or lmitationl does not use
profane language ,altho in your living core
spondence you seek To spread the impress
sion that he does. Yon who talk about
manhood and reform. why il there were
any man about YOU You would prove
your statements when challenged or quit.
As II IS you have been proved an impu-
dent aud miserable coward who in prac.
tice reforms the other way. How much
were yon paid for buying the road grader
for the town Of Raritan three wears ago.
| do not expect = truthful answer from
YOU but il will De TO your interest 10 have
that question settled before you attempt
to run foT office again in this town.

Punching Holes in the Game Law.
Public Opinion

II is questionable whether the .coutis-
catien' features Of the new game law is
worth the paper il is written upon. The
provision confiscates a mans gun and his
dog if he be caught hunting between the
first Of July and the first Of September.
Now a gun IS personal property. what
ever may be said or thought of a dog. 4
mans personal property cannot be "con-
fiscated" undef Que form Of government.
There ara exceptions TO this general rule,
of course but il is not believed that such
exceptions apply to game laws or to any
laws that do not provide for the protect
ion of the state against instruction and
emergencies of that class. Ii is doubtful
whether ope state lawmakers wrotght
much when they Incorporated the con
iiscation feature into our game law.

The Trusts Will Break,
Argus Leader.

Long before the next Presid entail
campaign is on. there will be a col
lapse of the trust balloons. While
the tr 81 evil is a genuine one,
and the question it presents is one
which must be settled by the Amer
lean people, we believe that the
attorney general is right in saving
that those who are in the greatest
Janger from the recent trusts infa.
tiOns are those who have put their
money into them, Most of these
trusts have no sound basis. and they
are sure to collapse. They are wild
speculations, and when the break
comes. II will be suddenly. and viii
give Wall Street the blacklist Fri.
day it has ever seen. One odd
feature of the trust situation is not
to be overlooked. IL is that men
who have sold out their interests To
some trusts, refuse TO invest i'm its
stocks. being certain of its ultimate
failure, but they straightway invest
in trust stocks of other concerns
equally inflated. The next year
will see a popping OF trusts. which
will ruin hundreds of stock gamblers
aud IN their losses none will pity
them. He that r~aisetl, the sword
shall perish by the sword.

The nominations for municipal
Office made by the Republican
party and its opposition, the Citizens
party, present a similarity in most
instances which will 20 a great
ways towards keeping down person
alties and conine the contest princi-
pally to the mayoralty. With the
exception Of this Office and Member
at-large of Board Of Education, the
city tickets are identical. The 2nd
and 3rd ward tickets are alike, while.
IN the 1st ward two are in the field.
The people of Webster are to be
congratulated upon the excellence
of the material offered by both
parties. who have named men of
unquestioned integrity, wide awake
citizens, in whose lands the varied
interests Of our municipality can be
safely entrusted, bat The Reporter
cannot see any reason why the can-
didases Of the Republican party
should not be supported in prefer
ence to the nominees Of am irres-
ponsible organization, unguided by
party principle or tradition. Mayor
Small is = true and tried official,
who has filed the Office for tie
past two years with credit to
himself and to the general saiisfac-
ton OF all, and should b. honored
by a reelection.

in that body and his record for
