We have perused with amazement yes
terday's issue of the old Republican organ
Of this county. We are amazed that II
has ignored the real issue to be determined
by the choice of legislative especially
Senatorial candidates next Tuesday. and
undertakes to inject national issues into
the choice of these officers, and to arouse q
fear that some Republican Office holders
may be Obliged to go to work if Mr.. Fer
rell and Mr.. Crist are elected.
If Trusts were good thing for Republi.
cans, and bad thing for Democrats, the
argument of the Republican organ might
be tolerated on the eve of an election
But when the Trust evil is felt in every
home, in every business, on every farm, in
every shop, the cheek of this office-holdeI
editor in making the future of a few
parasites the issue on which Senator il
to be elected, is astounding. The people
won't have it that way.

James strlmpIe.

Mr.. Strimple was born near Pedrick-
town, September 10, 1852. He is dealer
in sturgeon and manufacturer of caviar
and has been a wholesale produce com
mission merchant since 1873. He was
formerly farmer. He is connected with
one of the greatest industries of South
Jersey, and for twenty-six years he has
made study of the sturgeon business.
He has pursued his calling on the follow
ing rivers the Kennebec. Maine, Merri.
mac, Delaware, Edisto, South and North
Santee, Pedee aud Black rivers, Wingate
Bay, S. c., Columbia river Ofegan and
Sacramento, CAL; and he represents the
oldest firm in that line in the United
States. He was elected to the Assembly
first in 1890 over so strong candidate as
George Stratten by IS plurality, aud in
1891 was reelected by 379 the larges,
majority ever given candidate for that
Office up to that time.

MI Crist requests us to say to the Con
stitatiOn, that he never aspired to the offics
of Senator, because he is willing to begin
at the bottom of the legislative ladder
But as the editor of the Ring organ il
anxious for inside information, he au.
thorizes as to say that hoste OF Republic
cans, among them some of the leaders
promised him that they would support
him for Senator or for Sheriff against eithel
Stanger or Springer. Citizens who rely on
the Constitution for political truth, may
rest assured that any anxiety he may hav.
for Mr. Crisis welfare, grows out of hil
anxiety to retain his three offices.

A fellow feeling makes all The world
akin" The exactions of the Trusts are
felt by all, and they are young yet. The
man who uses wire fencing, knows why he
pays twice as much for it as he did few
years ago; the man who buys nails, knows
why the price of nails has doubled, the
house wife tells that the Standard Oil
Trust has increased the price of oil from
seven cents to twelve cents a gallon, and
the grocer says the price will go up to
eighteen cents before the new year comes
10, and Repub leans and Democrats and
Prohibitionists are all served alike. There
is no distinction of persons. color or creed
The iron hand of the Trusts is on as all
On the printer who buys blank paper as
well as ON the man who reads the paper,
and only those printers who hold three
offices, two of which are by the grace OF q
Trust Senator, think Trusts are good
thing" The farmer who pays Trust prices
for all he consumes receives no more for
truck, and the editor who buys Trust
paper receives no more for subscriptions
neither does the merchant who sells Trust
oil and iron, receive greater profits, but all
goes one way-into the Golfers of the
Trust.
If Trusts are, as Boss Hanna and Cover
nor Voorhees, and Editor Barber, say they
are =" a good thing" then that fellow
feeling that makes all the world akin
should some how open the hearts of the
select few who have found it out, and
and move them to tell wherein they are
good.

Need ofa Change.

That there should be a change in the
State Government is shown by the figure.
given below. The appropriations Of the
Republican legislatures of the last few
years have been extravaganza run riot.
The fees from Trusts are not going to be
with US forever. Other States are even
now working to get this Trust business
and their success means loss of revenue
to New Jersey, while our States expendi-
lures are even now at the point where q
State tax would be necessary where it moi
for phenomenal receipts the past year from
fees for chartering corporations. Look al
the figures, taken from the annual reports
OF the Comptroller, of the cost OF running
the State under Democratic and Republi.
can administrations -

in addition to many others of note. He
was nephew of the late R. S. jenkins,
Camden's famous criminal lawyer, one
of the greatest authorities on criminal
law New Jersey has ever produced.
The elder Jenkins was prosecutor for
20 years. and his nephew gave promise
of exceeding that record, as there was
no intimation but what he was in Wig
orous health. Mr.. jenkins leaves a
widow and two children. He was to
have named an assistant to himself
today. His successor will be named by

1t is not especially strange that the
Trust organ of this county, should believe
that Mr.. Ferrell cannot safely be trusted
with questions affecting the interests Of
Gloucester county. Barber firmly believes
that the only interest in this county
worthy of the word, is his three salaries
He knows, too, that Mr.. Ferrell won'i
spend minute attending to them. but
will give his entire time to the interests Of
the balance of Gloucester county's 10000
people.

There is general feeling among the
independent voters Of the State that the
Republicans have been playing them false.
There has been no improvement whatever
in the State government, notwithstanding
all the promises of reform made by Griggs
and his cotiere of "high-toped" politicians
The reform cry has turned out to be a
sham and the State has been oyerrun with
scandals and anderings of various kinds
Griggs failed suit the politicians, but he
did manage q suit the corporations and
himself . the administration of things
Voorhees, mas not even done that much for
he is quite disappointed with himself as a
result Q: his meddiing in the Girls In
dustrial School aud the Sampson sword
presentation and few other things that
have not gone his way altogether.
Then. too, the State House is filed with
officers who don't officiate. Some of them
come to Trenton for an hour or two on
Tuesdays, bat the greatbulk fail to visit their
departments more than twice month.
Some don't even get there that often.
merely appearing on pay day and receiving
good fat check. The Republican State
officials, with the exception of two or three,
haYe regarded their offices as gratuites
pure and simple. and do absolutely nothing
for the State. Clerk 10 Chancery Thomp-
son manages to get to his Office nearly
every Tuesday during the Fall and Winter
months. So does Supreme Court Clerk
Riker. Insurance Commissioner BEETLE
does almost as well, and possibly would
have as many official visits to his credit as
the others but for the fact that he lives 10
Camden aud trains run very slowly from
that town to the capital. Chief Stainsby,
Of the Bureau of Statistics is rarely seen
about the State House. He devotes his
energies to political scheming in Newark,
and is being quite well repaid for his time.
Both himself and his son-in-law, Judge j.
Frank Fort, are always well cared for BY
the party. Attorney General Gray comes
only when the fancy strikes him. Some
times he will come up for two or three
Tuesdays hand running and then he will
not appear for long period. Secretary of
State Wurts generally manages to spare
sufficient time to run down for short
while each Tuesday, and Factory Inspector
Ward will soon resume his weekly visits to
the State House, now that the crops are all
in. And so down the line. 1t is no
wonder, then, that the people Of the State
are just little weary of the Republican
reign and anxious for change. They
figure it out that it cannot possibly be
worse, and there is big chance Of it being
greatly improved True American.

treasury from Trust fees, under the change
