william Etainsby. of Newark. one of the
leading politicians and at one time the
Republican boss Of Essex. but now Chief
Of the Bureau OF Labor and Statistics, has
lust made a report which must be exceed
ingfy interesting reading matter at this
time for the members Of his party. The
report deals with the crying evil COM
monty known as company stores. These
are general country stores maintained by
corporations near their factories and
mines, at which they compel their en-
pioyes to trade. This is generally done
by paying the men in orders on the stores
instead of in cash.
In his report Mr.. Stainsby SAY that he
has cause a comparison to be made be-
tween the prices charged by the company
stores and by the private stores in the
same immediate neighborhood. Mr..
Stainsby found that there are fifteen of
these company stores In New Jersey. In
the six company stores in Cumberland
county a bill of goods cost sa.9, which
ut the private stores In the same vicinity
could be purchased for s2S.1e. This means
that what the farmer living in a locality
can purchase for 81 costs the poor slaves
Of the corporations in that same locality
s1-a3. This ratio ranges from 81 to s1.06
10 81 to sl.16 In the various company stores
throughout the State. 1t is lowest, s. to
s1-06, at the two stores in Salem county.
and highest at the company stores in
Morris county,
On individual necessities of life such as
meat, tea and coffee. the percentage is
even higher, and in many instances under
clothing, cotton goods and canton flannel,
which can be purchased for 81 in the
private stores cost sl.1s at the company
stores.
This must be interesting reading to the
Republicans of this State, as it is their
party and their party alone which is re-
sponsible for this form of robbery in New
Jersey. Last winter a bill was introduced
In the Legislature for the purpose of
abolishing this evil. It was bitterly OPP
posed by the recognized leaders Of the
Republican party but managed after a
bitter fight to squeeze through the
House. It hen went over to the Senate
and that was the last heard of 1t. In
that body, which is claimed to possess all

They tell a story of a compatriot OF SIR
Thomas Upton, who. seeing a particular
| ly energetic bull faboring under terrible
excitement, thought It would be a funny
| thing to take the animal by the horns
| and rub his nose in the dirt. The more ne
| bought of this on the safe side of the
| fence, the funnier it appeared to him,
| and he laughed immoderately- Finally
he Invested himself of his coat, climbed
the fence. and before he could realize
what had happened found himself in a
d-isorganized heap on the side of the
fence he started from. AS he felt himself
over for missing pieces, he ~ruefuliy said
.sPhat a blessed thing it was I had me
laugh first"
This seems to be pretty much the con-
dition, his morning. of the Hon Lewis
A. Thompson. Clerk of the Court of
Chancery and self considered leader of
the Republican party in Somerset county.
He and the faction, which a share OF the
patronage has enabled him to get to-
gether. went into the county convention
at somerville with the avowed intention
of rubbing the nose of Senator Charles
A. Reed In the dirt. Greatly to their sur
prise they found themselves writhing in
the dust of defeat after a single encoun-
ter.
Monday morning Mr.. Thompson ap-
peared at the State House, Trenton, with
a grin on his face as broad as the two
acre lot in the rear of the Capitol. He
told all who would listen to him that he
had routed Reed at the primaries on Sat
urday night and at the convention he
would simply make him wallow in the
dusta The more he talked it over, the
broader grew his grin and some were in
clined to feel real sorry for Mr.. Reed. Mr..
Thompson's confidence, however, seems
to have been that of the Irishman. for
on the first ballot for a Senatorial can
didate Mr.. Reed received Is votes to II for
George A. Dilts, Mr.. Thompson's man
This toss over the fence appears to have
damaged Mr.. Thompson considerably, for
1t is said that he viii resign the chairman
ship Of the County Committee and leave
u~ndisputed to Mr.. Reed the leadership Of
the county, which it is evident he has
Won. However gracefully Mr.. Thompson
accept the situation, his followers
are still inclined to kick, and they threat
to get square with somebody. They
talk of not having been beaten square
ly." and they declare that whatever they
do to damage Mr. Reeds hances of cleo
ton will under all the circumstances be
j~ustihable.
Never before has the situation in Som
erset been more favorable for the Demo

Gross Ignorance In a Judicial Pro-
ceediuR.

When our county officials undertake to
put candidates for citizenship through a
sort of civil service examination. 1t would
be well for them not to show their own
weaknesses too plainly. On Wednesday,
we printed the list of questions used in
the initiation ceremonies in our County
Court. They were taken from a printed
1eaf1et, and 1t will be remembered that
each question was fitted with a ready
made answer-for fear, we suppose, that
the presiding Judge might not know the
right answer himself.
We do not know who is responsible for
these answers, but we know that they are
all open to criticism, while several Of them
are grossly and scandalously ignorant and
wrong. Here are one or two specimens
of laundering for which a school boy
ought to be caned or a candidate for citi-
zenship rejected
q. Who makes the avs for the

A. Congress and Senate.

"A. The Electors, who are elected by

q. Which is the highest office in the

We win not insult our readers by point
ing out the absurdities OF these nswe
in detail. Everyone VIII see them at a
glance. we will only linger over the sub
ject long enough to remark that correct
information was no guarantee for success,
If intending citizens were actually tested
