LOST.

Would it not be good thing for
Plaintield to put up street signs?"
asks the Westfeld Leader. "It is as
easy to get lost there as in a wilder
ness. Westfield can give Plainfield
some points on street signs. 1t is a
fact that it is almost next to impos-
sible for a stranger to find many
streets in Plainfeld We have walked
or ridden for blocks without meet
ing anyone capable of directing us to
certain streets and finally be COM
PEELED to disturb some private citizen
by ringing his door bell in order to
learn the location of some street. You
can travel block after block without
seeing street sign in Plainfield
If the editor of the Leader wants
some more comparisons let him come
over to the borough and see how our
streets are provided with street signs
at each street corner.
The same condition of affairs in this
respect prevails in Morristown as in
Plainfield. Strangers are frequently
lost and old residents are often much
puzzled among our newer streets.
Meanwhile the Aldermanic committee

MOUNTAIN A. @. WINS.

All the local fans were out to the
State Hospital last Friday. They
went in buggies, on bicycles and on
foot, any way to get there for they
knew the game of the year was to be
played.
And such a game as it was. Pro-
badly no better exhibition was ever
seen in this part of the country. For
nine innings they fought for suprem-
acy. Both sides were bound 10 win
the game At the end of the ninth
the score stood 20 and no one breath
ed. Then the Mountain A. @. boys
took fresh grip on the bat. Faux
ner somehow lost his nerve and it
was all up. The visitors brought in
four runs and had the game, for the
Medicos could not make good in their
half.
The crowd was wild with joy at the
outcome of the game 1t was the first
time the Medicos had been beaten at
home this year. They were so con-
ceited they thought themselves irwin
chile. Very few of the spectators ex-
pected it either, but most of them
hoped for it. And how they yelled
when the visitors finally won. 1t
was grand, it was glorious, even if it
was not very patriotic.
The scoretells the story in detail.

GOLD DEMOCRATS.

The National Committee of the
Gold Standard Democrats at Indian
apollis took very decided grounds and
crushed the hope of the Bryanites that
Gold Democrats would fuse with
them. The anti-imperialists also
found the cold shoulder. The COM
mittee. by a vote of 26 to /, after
wards made unanimous, decided not
to put ticket in the field. The Gold
Democrats will therefore follow their
own judgement in voting for Presi-
dent. They are opposed to Organism
and they agreed to stand where they
stood in 1896, that is, for sound
money. They will, as rule support
Mckinley. Thus another strong
element of support comes to aid in
the reelection of the peoples candi-
date.

CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.

The Democratic national platform,
says the Philadelphia Press, contains
the following plank: "We declare
again that all governments instituted
among men derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed
that any government not based upon
the consent Of the governed is a tyran-
ny and that to impose upon an people
a government of force is to substitute
methods of imperialism for those Of
republic.
The following are extracts from 9
speech delivered in the national senate
last winter by the same Senator Till.
man who read the platform to the
Democratic convention:
South Carolina has DISTINGUISHED
all of the colored race that it could
under the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments. We have
done our level best we have scratched
our heads to find out how we could
eliminate the last one of them. Con.
Rec, February 26, 1900, p. 2346.
We have governing race, just as
you would have in Massachusetts il
You had 750, 600 negroes and only
500, 900 white men. Con. Rec, p. 1868.
We had 1876, 600 negroes of voting age
and 100, 900 whites. Con. Rec. p. 234S.
We stuffed ballot boxes. We shot
them We are not ashamed of it. -

Congressman Dolliver, i'll a, speech
at Burlingame, recently said:
I'd like to see the procession come
in. I'd like to see Mississippi come
in yelling for Billy Bryan and the
Declaration of Independence, when
she has disfranchised three-fourths
of her population. | would like to
see old Alabama and Georgia and
South Carolina come in yelling fo1
Bryan and the Declaration of hide
pendence, which reads that all men
are created equal and that govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed, when
each of these states has DISTINGUISHED
practically their whole population
ana shut them out from representa-
tion at the polls in the state admins
tration and at the nations capitol.
| would like to see all this. If Will
lam Bryan, who goes up and down
this country exploiting the wrongs
of the Filipinos, will get up and
say one word against tn complex
crime and robbery which has all been
done for him in those solidly Demo
cratic scates of the South, l will re-
tract every thing 1 ever said against
him. and believe him sincere in his pre-
tended anxiety about the colored
brethren over the seas.

UP TO HUNTERDoN.

The Sussex County politicians who
were feeling the Democratic pulse
concerning the denomination of
Congressman Salmon are apparently
satisfied with the result and Mr..
Salmon will be accorded unanimous
denomination. The honor is due him
and he is stronger in the district
than he was two years ago. Mr..
Kelley will be his opponent again
and there is every reason to believe
that the Republican State Committee
will give more loyal and practical
support than it gave him before. -

stand was packed and cheering was
continuous and hearty.
This is the game that the people
wanted to see the home team win and
they saw it to their satisfaction. No
one was dissatisfied, not even Mr..
Clark, the genial manager and chronic
kicker.
This is the shortest game ever seen
in the state, the time for the nine in
nings being Just one hour and thirty
minutes.

The Gazette is discussing the ne
cessity of sewerage system for Hack
ettstown. Commenting upon this
subject it remarks:
1t is a matter that must come home
to the citizens of Hackettstown
sooner or later and the sooner the
better. Evidence of an unsanitary
condition due to the cesspool nuisance
has not been lacking during the
extremely hot days of the past weeks.
Every citizen understands, if all do
not appreciate, the conditions that
exist in all towns of this size and to
meet these conditions before irrepara-
BILE injury is the dictate of wisdom.
In other towns of this size q sewer
age system is established by private
enterprise, the property owner paying
yearly rental of sewerage conneo-
ton. A local enterprise of this kind
should have public encouragement.

IA Mechanic who is vouched for
by the New York Sun writes to that
paper: II am a Democrat and cast
my first vote for Grover Clevelnd and
tariff reform in 1899. At that time
I was receiving $500 day and work
ing three days week, but in 1898
my wages were reduced and I was
thrown out of employment for nearly
year and half. In the face Of
this I voted for Bryan in 1896 and
continued voting the Democratic tic
kets in hopes of change for the
better. In 1898 my wages were in
creased to 50. % per day and l have
been kept busy constantly often work
ing overtime to help out rush in
the factory. Now, Mr.. Editor, with
a wife and family to support, I have
come to the conclusion that to vote
for Bryan is but to go back to the
condition existing in 1896, therefore
/ shall vote the entire Republican
ticket. / know fifteen Democratic
neighbors who think as do and will
place the cross ON next election day
in the circle under the Republican
emblem. A dangerous malady requires
a drastic remedy. =

The Somerville Democrat has declar-
ed against Bryan. In an editorial it
announced it's position follows: q For
ourselves we would say that we pre-
fer the old Democracy. We would
have its principles obtain everywhere
But we cannot raise the banner of
Organism. We have never asked nor
received favor of any party, and are
satisfied that, as independents, criti-
cising what is wrong and unfolding
what is right, we can best advance
the principles of true Democracy
and do as much Watching and waiting
as those who have surrendered to
Bryan. The Democrat is, henceforth,
in politics, as in everything else,
independent.
This declaration on the part of the
Dem ocrat is an important one, mas
much as it represents not simply the
opinion of one man, its editor, but
the mature deliberations of the stock
company which owns it, a company
composed of prominent Democratic
business men of Somerville. The in
fiuence of the paper's stand in his
campaign cannot fail to have an i'm
portant bearing in the coming cam
paign.

imperialism from the shoulders of

Cubans and 10, 200, 900 Filippinos. He
has freed more subject colonists from
