DIVORCES IN NEW JERSEY.
Chancellor Magic Decides Hereafter
Hearings Shall BE Omen.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N J., Dec. 20
s>e~ Jersey lawyers are deeply interested
N the stand taken by Chancellor Magic
concerning the divorce business in New
jersey, which is conducted BY the Court OF
Chaneery in sort Of star-chamber style
Since his assumption OF the office Inc
chancellor has devoted most Of his time to
study OF this phase of the courts work
and has reached the conclusion that the
conditions are very bad. Outsiders gener-
ally consider New Jersey q comparatively
easy State for he East in which to get al
YorceS. The Cfaneery Court, however. has
always denied this AID has steadfastiy in
sisted thet no dipAfees are granted with
out perfectly proper enquiry into the
case.
Alexander ., McGiII, 1.-The late chancellor,
was believer in the secret divorce pro-
eeedings, and invariably ordered testimony
10 De taken in private by an advisory mas
ter, so as to protect the public from the
details Of the immoFali5ies which are eft
en- involved in divorce cases
Chancellor Magic announces that here
after all divorce proceedings will be heard
in public, and testimony will not be taken
by an advisory master. as heretofore. This
viii mean tremendous increase of the
work OF the court, probably eco per cent
The old secret procedure has been severe
" criticised. and under it there was no
means OF estimating the number Of d.
vorees granted annually IN the State. In
some instances peTsras have learned Of
their divorce several years after it had
been granted.

GOOD REASON FOR IT.
The Success and Popularity of tn,
New Catnrrh Cure.

Hhe success and popularity of tn e
New Catnrrh Cure.
The remarkable success and popularity
Of the new catarrh cure Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, is largely because it not only
cures catarrh but because catarrh suffer-
ers who use these tablets know what they
are taking Into their systems; no secret
IS made Of what they contain. They are
composed OF Hydrastin. blood root qua
iaeol, and red gum, are pleasant to the
taste. and being dissolved in the mouth
they take immediate effect upon the mu-
cous lining Of the throat, nasal passages,
and the whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases are
little sheet of remarkable, and the advsn-
tage Of knowing Just what you are taking
into your system is Of paramount fmpor-
lance when it is remembered that the
cocaine OF morphine habit has been fire.
quently contracted as the result Of using
secret cataTrh remedies, as so many OF
them are well know to contain these in
furious drugs.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with the
approval and cordial support Of physicians
because their anti ieptic character renders
them perfectly safe for the general public
TO use. and their composition makes them
a commsn-sanse cure fer all forms Of
catarrhal trouble
VITA nearly ali advertised catar-h cures
It Is a matter of guesswork as to what
you are taking into the stomach. as the
proprietors, while making all sorts of
claims as 10 what their medicines viii do.
are very careful to keep it close secret
as to what they really contain.
This IS one reason why StUart's CataFrh
Tablets have been so widely recommended,
because they are not only pleasant and
convenient to take, but the patient also
knows he is not putting into his stomach
anything OF an injurious character.
These tablets are sold By druggists
everywhere IN the United States and Can
ada at 80 eents fer complete treatment.
and probably there Is no better remedy
ever devised Tor the permanent cure OF
cataEh. whether located in the head
throat bronchial tubes. or IN the stomach.

tor, however, is radically wrong. 1t is
the south that Is unwilling to let the
north alone. The Philadelphia Press
scores a strong point when 1t says,
that by rs suppression Of the colored
vote and It's assumption OF the represent
tat!on Of that vote in Congress- and in
the electoral college the south is at
present exercising negro domination
over the north. Whenever an attempt

II wants representation for the colored
people in Congress and the electoral

so trenches on the equal suffrage rights
of the north. In short the south refuses
to let the north alone and insists upon
exercising It's own political rights and
a share OF the political rights Of the
north also"
This refusal Of the south to give the
north equal political rights can be
proved by the returns Of the last cleo
ton. In the three states OF Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina a total
Ot twenty congressman were elected.

are based on the white population and
eleven on the colored population. II
only the white population were counted,
Louisiana. Mississippi and South Caro-
lima together would have only nine
votes in the house. but the whole popu-
Iation is counted and they are given
twenty seats. The white Democrats
then suppress the colored vote and elect
twenty representatives, making vote
in these states count for twice as much
as vote in the north. Taking the
whole south together 1t has thlrty-seven
seats in the house of representatives
ana the same number Of votes in cleo
toral college based on the colorrd popu-
lation. AT least thlrty-flve Of these
seats nre now occupied by Democrats
through the suppression Of the colored
vote.
