WILL BOND FOR SEWERS.

Summit has voted to issue bonds
for the purpose of enabling it to do
away with its present sewerage dis
posal plant, which has proved unsatis-
factory and taking part in the con-
struction of the joint sewer favored by
the State Sewerage commission
The total issue of bonds for sewerage
purposes is $780, 900, $50, 900 of which is
for its share of the joint sewer.
This action by the city of Summit
gives our sewerage committee an as
surance that trunk sewer is going
to be constructed from Summit and at
the same time it puts pressure on
them in the matter of time. If we
are to join in this project we can do
so most probably before the details of
the scheme are determined on.
Madison and Chatham would do
well to join in the trunk sewer if it is
constructed which it will be only if
it is considered the best scheme for
this neiShborhood. In that case,
Dover, Rockaway and the state hospi-
tai at Morris Plains should wake up
and unite in the general project, in
case they should be compelled to do
something less satisfactory and more
expensive.
The vote on the bonding question
resulted as follows Total number
OF votes cast, As, OF which 800 were for
bonding, 5S against the scheme,
while So were rejected.

At midnight ON Tuesday the law
requiring all railroad cars to be equip
ped with automatic couplers and all
trains to have air brakes enough to
control it, went into effect, after
having laid imperative for nearly
seven years
The act was passed by Congress
in 1893 with the proviso that it
should take effect Jan. 1, 1898. When
this time approached the railroads of
the country pooled issues and succeed
ed in inducing the interstate COM
merce commission to allow a two
years extension for meeting the re-
quirements of the law.
The Lackawanna on account of it's
several heavy grades, met the lair
brake" requirement of the law long
before the act became operative. The
management say that their road
would report itself 100 per cent. !"
equipped according to the demands of
the act, and far more than 100 per
cent. in the matter of air brakes.

State Dairy Commissioner MCGUIRE

State Dairy Commissioner Mcclure,
accompanied by State Chemist Wal
lace, recently made trip embracing
the Jersey coast between Long Branch
and Belmar. They secured in all 80
samples of milk, which were tested
for formaldehyde and other impuri-
ties. OF the 35 samples Is were found
to contain the drug, and in each in
stance prosecutions will be commenced
at once.
The State Chemist is looking for
another poison to manifest itself soon.
This is tyrotoxicon, or cheese
poison. ut is sometimes present in ice
cream. 1t is the product of chemi-
cal change in milk and some other
edibles that is due to uncleanliness.
Itsmay be caused by ill-kept cans or
vessels which contain the milk or ice
cream.

1t would appear that the assassina-
tion of King Humbert was the result
of deep laid plot which has been
under way for months. 1t was
originated in Italy and the details
arranged in the United States proba-
bly, in Paterson or Hoboken. Atten-
tion has been given to the possibility
of Furnishing any of Bresci's accom-
plices here, and it is confessed that
there will be much difficulty in reach
ing them, as the laws relative to
conspiracy are local and the underlying
principle is that the overt act must
have been committed within the
particular state in order to afford
jurisdiction to the state courts.
The police authorities of Paterson
have a difficult matter to handle,
but one thing is sure, no gatheing of
anarchists should be allowed.

every person in this section will be bene- filed by its construction. It has seemed so distant that few have stopped to consider how much good it will do the south; but as the time draws near for actual work upon the canal this will become more and more apparent. The contigulty of these states to the canal, and the flow of the great central river, and the need of fuel from this state, al combine to bring the chief benefits of the canal to the south To some extent other section will share in its advantages, but to the south the canal wifi prove to be a won derful means of growth and prosperity. Let Senator Morgan stay where he is. He is doing all that man can do against the trans-continental railroad combine to se- cure the completion Of the cana. He is on tho verge of victory. Let him stay until it Is fully secured. He Is the champion of the entire southern country when this question comes up, and it may be taken up at any time after today.

Congressman Loud's New Bill.

Chairman Loud, of the house postot1ee committee is at least persistent Defeated on one Iine, he returns 10 the attack upon direction. If he cannot get a whole loaf of legislation, he is ready to accept a half loaf. The house turned down the bill that re- stcicted secopd-ciass matter to genuine periodicals, but, undiscouraged, he has se- cured a favorable report of his committee that bars from that class all qualifications puiporting to be issued periodically and to subscribers, bus which are merely books or reprints of books, whether they be issued complete or in parts whether they be bound or unbound. whether they be sold by subscription or otherwise, or whether they purport to be premiums, or supplements, or parts of regular newspapers or periodicals
 This strikes at the greatest single abuse of postal facilities, and there is no reason why it should not be passed without ob jection or oyposition; but it win encounter both, for the interests affected by it are wealthy, and their lobby vii! work as it has never worked before. The new bill may be squeezed through, but it will en- counter heavy opposition at every turn. Practically the new bin is directed against the trashy or vile paper-covered novel, which is sent out from publication centers in carload lots at second-class rates to af- fict an innocent and suffering people. The congressman who votes against the new Loud bill votes to put upon the country stun that is too vile or too trashy to be called literature.

SENATOR ns.Is PAYS FARE

From the Washington Post
 Senator Bate of Tennessee is one of those old-fashioned statesmen who believe that a legislator ought not to be under obliga- ton to a corporation. He said yesterday that he had never accepted a railroad pass in his life. Not even when he was governor did he ride upon free transportation. Once a year ne goes down to Texas and out to California to see his daughters, but he al ways buys his ticket. He pays, too, for his te.esrams, never even taking advan- tage of the government rate.

What 1t Means to the South.

Tho completion of the Nicaragua canal would equalize governmental benefits. At present the disbursements and privileges of the federal power favor one section. but the building of the canal would give all sections of the south advantages that would go far to equalize federal favors.
 Three sections or interests in the south would be especially benefited by the open- ing of waterway to the vast Pacific mar kets, namely, the Mississippi valley in ali its ramifications, the southern pcrts and last but not least, the mineral district oe Alabama. The productions of the rrco+ central valley would seek an outlet to tb, teeming population of the Orient through our southern ports, and every shin that carried produce could carry iron, steel and coal as ballast. A marvellous deyelopment would be the grand result; and this is why Senator Morgan Is giving his best efforts ia the work of securing an carly completion of the canal. His hands should be upheld in every possible way by every state in the south. and particularly by this rlehly-en- dowed state.
 The benefits that will flow from the con- struction of the canal will not be limited to the interests named, for every cotton growing country will feel the impulses,

Denmark Has a Price.

It is semi-officially announced that Dem mark is willing to part with her West h. dian possessions on basis of the present indebtedness of the islands to the mother country. This means a price between $I,oo0OOo and s5,O0o0 00O The United States is represented in this piece of business by Henry White, secretary Of the American embassy al London. A feeling against the .ccssion of the islands has sprung up in Denmark, and it seems TO be clear that this country must pay the price named by Denmark or let the islands go.
 The islands are small, the most valuable being St. Thomas, which contains but Sl square miles, on which are 37.60O persons. Only military and naval questions are in- Nolved. Germany is thought to be seeking d foothold in the West Indies, and the question as to the deslraoiltty of such neighoor therefore arises. This is all there is in the Danish islands to us. True, Ger. many cannot forcibly take them without violating the Monroe doctrine, but the Ger man emperor has already declared that famous doctrine imperative and inyaiid Tie purchase of the Danish islands by the United States would at least destroy one possible issue.
 There would remain in the West Indies the islands of England, France and dIol- land, besides Independent Hayti and santo Domingo. The independence of the last named island must be maintained by the United States at all hazards, and France and England will not give up thatr bases in the West Indies. Practically only the islands of Holland will remain in doubt if we buy the D-1ish islands. Germany is doubtless planning to swallow Holland as whole, islands and mainland. and if this great change occurs Germany will secure Buen Ayr and Curacoa, both admirably located to serve as naval bases for aggres- sive trade relations cn the part of nun gry Germany. We will, by purchasing the Danish islands, limit GeInany to the douotful Dutch problem.

THE REASON WHY

Montrose J. Moses in March St. Nicholas, The big boys wouldn't play with me- They said 1 was too small That they would have to wait and see If I grew strong and tall. And when they had their club at school, They all began to grin, And said that they had made a rule
 To let no small boys in. But when the holidays brought Jim From college for week, The big boys came to call on him
 And listen to him speak. He told them of the football game
 Where, in an awful crush, He slipped, and for ten days was lame He Played at center rush: Ho told them of the record jump
 He beat Yale man in;  He let them feel the dreadful Iump
 The ball made on his shin, He showed hds muscles all in play,
 He raised heavy weight, And looked to see what they would saw I know they thought it great. They saw hss college pins and flag.
 They saw his football suit; They opened wide his traveline-bae
 And thought his cap "beaut." They saw his yellow sweater there.
 A picture of the "gym" They liked the way he wore his hair.
 And everyone liked him. So now the big boys notice me,
 And, in sorne way or other, They let me join their club, you see.
 Because I'm Jim's own brother.

A PROHIBITION STATE TICKET
From the Mobile Register.

from the Mobile Register.
 The Alabama prohibitionists have nut ont state ticket The prohibitionists are work ing in line with the movement to establish state dispensary of liquor, after the man. her of the South Carolina dispensary. Con- siderable progress has been made by getting the last general assembly of this state to pass bill for the holding of elections in several of the counties to decide upon the question of establishing county dispensa- ries. This has given occasion for a very general debate of the whole subject, and the prohibitionists accept the dispensary issue. If the selling of liquor cannot be prohibited as yet, owing to the backward state of public opinion, it's sale can be regu- lated and put under such restrictions as to prevent some of the evils of over indulgence in the drink. Of course. this is in theory contrary to the principles of prohibition, for the dispensary system is actually a licensing of liquor selling, whereas prohibi- tonists profess to desire the abolition of liquor selling, and even the manufacture of liquor. The prohibitionists believe that the establishment of the dispensary is a step in the direction of the carrying out of their main contention. They are opposed by tae people who believe that the state should keep out of business, more especial ly the business of retailing liquor to its own citizens; also by the liquor men, and the free action men, namely, those citizens who believe that the state has no right to meddle with the private conduct of the in- dvldual but should legisate as to his pub lie acts.
 It seems clear that the effort is making to bring the dispensary issue into the next If not into the present campaign as the leading one. The prohibtionists have ob- tained the assistance of Senator Tillman. the father of the South Carolina dispensary, who will come to this state and make sey eral addresses upon the working of the South Carolina syztem, which he claims IS great success. It remains to be seen how far he and those who assist himwilJ be able to influence the conservative citi- A;ens of this state. This much seems cer- tain that if the issue comes up as one for the whole state. We shall see a canvass quite as exciting as any that has taken place in Alabama since reconstruction days.

 "A grim joke on the Johnston campaign CTS came to light in Birmng ham this week His caavassers undertook to poh the east half of the business sect:on of the city.

 We respectfully suggest to the Johnston committee of this county the advisa 5iNty of engaging in similar work among our merchants. It would be an interesting pro- ceeding.
