Governor Voorhees, would like very
much to have some enthusiastic New Jer-
sey patriots volunteer as members of the
commission to erect the monument 10 Ha.

who persisted when the "Maine" was blown
up. These volunteer commissioners will
have to bear their own expenses, as the
Legislature only appropriated $500 for the
erection of the monument The Governor

When the Assessors abstract of 1895
shows loss OF SO 700 in county valuations

100000 over 1890, the people will be at a
loss to locate the particular evidence on
which County Financier George E. Pierson
made the statement that this was now a

The Constitution is between low and high
water on the subject of Trusts. A few

Trusts were good thing because they

support the Trusts that steal the earnings

OFFERING PREMIUMS FOR RECRUITS.

Applicants For Commissions Enlist as
PrIvates on Promise of Promotion.
Washington, July 20.-The war de-
partment is offering extra inducements
to expedite the recruitment of the ten
volunteer regiments. Nearly all the
commissions having been issued, many
of the disappointed applicants have
been advised to enter the ranks, as
in that way it may be possible for them
to secure commissions. General Cor
bin says that the policy of the adj
ministration will be to fill all vacancies
which may occur among commissioned
officers from the ranks. A number
of applicants for commissions have en-
listed as priyates in the different regi-
ments and have been appointed non
commissioned officers wherever pos
sible, and consequently are next in line
of promotion to commissioned rank in
the event of a vacancy.
Another method of securing recruits
Is to offer commissions to men other
wise qualified who will undertake to
furnish in each case not less than 40
men who can pass muster as soldiers
and will enlist for service in the
Philippines There have been several
cases of this kind during the past
week. The reports of recruiting on
Tuesday show that 40 men were en-
lolled, making a total of ISIS.

treaty between the United States and
Japan goes into effect today, as does
also new treaties between Japan and
nearly all of the countries of Europe
and some of the South American re-
publics. It is an event of far reach
ing importance in the relations be-
tween Japan and the United States, as
1t does away with the treaty methods
which have been in vogue for nearly
so years and substitutes an entirely
new method of procedure. The same
is true in the relations of Japan with
other countries. Taken as whole the
many new treaties which go into eff
feet today place Japan on an entirely
new footing with the world at large.

In the Army Bill,

just passed bv the House, a section
has been adopted abolishing the
canteens.
That will increase the mortality
of our soldiers in tropical climates,
for the canteens have furnished
them with drinks, by which they
overeame the effects OF the Alger
beef and withstood the attacks OF
fever and malaria.
1t was cowardly of the House
to abolish the canteens and yield
to a set Of ianatical hYDocrites
and fools. 1t will increase the
smuggling Of bad alcoholic drinks
and prevent the soldiers from get
ting a glass Of beer, which latter
furnishes the revenue by which the
United States Treasury is kept
adoat. This is Just like Yankee
hypocrisy; first to put high tax
on a necessary article, and then
prohibit ITS sale,
Oh hypocrisy and cowardice!

A Lesson for Us,

Reports by mail from Corunna
Spain, give sad accounts Of the
landing there last Seek oi the
Zamora regiment from Cuba.
The regiment was recruited in
Corunna, and included many
young men Of good family. In
June, 1895, it sailed for Cuba I,4oo
strong. Only 500 men returned
alive.
AS the survivors marched down
the gangway OF the steamer they
were met by an immense crowd OF
people from Corunna and the
neighboring villages. There were
shouts and cheers OF welcome from
the friends oil the 900, but their
voices were drownd by the cries Of
lamentation from the relatives aud
friends OF the dead I.Ioo.
The experience OF our own
troops during the 9o.day campaign
in Cuba corroborates the above
and warns US as to what we may
expect, il we continue in our ex-
pansion course.

The Law In Il ngIaud.

Since the death Of the Empress
OF Austria it has been discovered
that she--lilSe nearly all the thrifty
potentates OF Europe-had mad c
provision Tor the future by having
q part OF her wealth on deposit in
the Bank OF England.
Her executors in proceeding to
take possession OF the money are
confronted by Harcourt's odious
and PopulistIc inheritance tax,
which the Tax Commissioners say
must be paid before the deposit
can be Withdrawn.
To the plea Of the executors that
the Empress OF Austria as a reign
ing sovereign was not subject to
the tax laws Of England, the Com
missioners answer that the laws OF
England recognize no distinction
between the Empress Elizabeth
and Susan Smith.
Which shows that "effete des-
potisms" are sometimes more dem
ocratic in their tax levies tina the
