Attention is directed to the call for
the Republican Primaries to nominate
delegates to the city convention which
in turn will nominate candidates to
be supported at the charter election to
be held on May LIST. The Democrats
are in no position to put up a strong
fight this year.
We believe a ticket upon which the
candidates presented for the suffrage
of the voters Of this city, are strong
and representative men, can be cleo
ted. 1t is the duty of those who de-
sire this to attend the primaries call
ed for tonight.

The Dover Index has taken up the
fight anew against the promiscuous
spreading of dodgers and other So
called advertising matter throughout
the streets of that city. 1t aptly says
1t is a costly piece of work for any
municipality TO clean any street and
then have it Uttered all over with all
kinds of rubbage or refuse, and it is
made especially dirty looking and
annoying to tidy residents or visitors
when covered with g dodgers, circu-
lars and torn papers flying around.
Another important fact that must
not be lost sight of, is, that dodgers"
and torn circulars flying about in the
streets has caused many horse to run
away, which too often has resulted
in much damage to property and oc-
casioned loss of life or serious injury
to persons or animals.
Judging from the appearance of our
streets on Easter Sunday, after thous-
ands of alleged bargain circulars and
show bills had been distributed on
Saturday, it would lead one to think
that the street cleaning department
was unknown. We trust that at
the next meeting of the Board
of Aldermen, an ordinance will be
adopted which will prohibit the
future use of these unwarranted and
improbable methods of advertising.

No use trading nags a-crossin' the
stream, remarked wise Republican.
Every Republican congressman from
Jersey should be renominated, says
the New Jersey correspondent of the
New York Press. Well in the first
place we are not crossing stream.
In the next place, if a 6-year-old
shows that he's not very valuable,
and there is sure chance of getting
better one in trade, don't hesitate
to trade. In the third place, if the
voters of New Jersey hadn't traded
several times in the past twenty five
years they would be having some
mighty poor congressman. "Swap
horses whenever you can better your
self' is an adage that even David
Harum would have been proud to act

From the Climate and Or op Service
of New Jersey we quote;
Orchard fruits have wintered we'll
in all sections. The condition of
wheat, rye and grass is below the
average owing to great lack of snow
covering during the winter months,
and to the frequent freezing and
thawing; much heaving was re-
ported, especially in the Northern
section, where some fields will be
plowed and sown to oats y
1t would seem desirable that the
information contained in these bulle-
tins should be issued upon the first of
the month, not the seventeenth.

Commenting on the meeting of the

TrueAmeriean, the leading Democrat
ic newspaper of New Jersey remarks:

men who can see any possible hope of
carrying the State of New Jersey for
Bryan must have forgotten his ex-
perience Of four years ago, and must
have discovered some new evidences
of party virility not appreciable to
the ordinary observer. And the
Democratic State committeeman who
feels that the Democratic party owes
to Bryan to wreck itself in the vain
effort to pay its obligations to its late
candidate, must have an exceedingly
great development of chivalrous
generosity. 1t is not long since the
name of Admiral Dewey was projected
into the canvass, and already signs
are discoverable that considerable
element of the party look upon his
candidacy as a very fortunate OPP
portunity for the party to rehabilitate
itself by use of his popularity and
the PRONUNCIATION of doctrines which
bear some relation to republic and
not a commune.

During the year 1899, American
railroads were more active in build
ing than in any year since 1890. A
total of 40, co. 10 miles of new track
were laid. In the meantime there
was great decrease in the number
going into receivership. The long
dark era of railroad bankruptcies,
which eliminated in 1898. when "a
companies with nearly 80, 900 miles
of lines, were handed over to receiv-
ers, has ended, and the new era starts
with the railways of the United
States in a solvent and hopeful con-
dition. The receiverships for 1899
cover only 1,010 miles, or little over
one-half of per cent. of the present
mileage. There was also a large re-
duction in record of foreclosure sales.

RESOLUTIONS.

We, Ou6 representatives VI ll6 Mt
publicans of New Jersey, assembled
in convention to select delegates to
the National Nominating Convention
to be held ON June 10, 1900, do hereby
reaffirm our answering loyalty and
devotion to the principles of the Re-
publican party.
We take this suitable opportunity to
publicly express our deep sense of the
loss sustained by this State and the
Nation in the death of Vice. President
Carrot A. Hobart, for many years a
wise and trusted leader in State
affairs, and later an able counsellor
and conspicuous figure in the broader
sphere for which by his great abilities
he was so we'll fitted.
We commend and indorse the pres
ent Administration of National affairs
and give our highest approval of the
course of William Mckinley as exhib-
tied not only in his able and courage
Gus support of the party principles as
defined at the time of his election, but
also in the wisdom, patri otism and
exalted craftsmanship with which he
has dealt with new and complex prob
lens of great National consequence
which have since arisen.
We approve and indorse the course
of our Senators and Republican mem
bars of the House of Representatives
from this State in sustaining the
President and in the enactment of
laws which have resulted in a period
of unexampled prosperity wherein
labor and capital have been fully en-
ployed and the markets of the world
more widely opened to American in
dustries.
For the National defence, for the
reinforcement of the Navy, for the en-
largement of our foreign markets. for
the employment of American working
men in the mines, forests, farms, mills,
factories and shipyards, we demand
the immediate enactment of legisla-
tion similar to that favorably report
ed to each branch of Congress. so that
American built, American owned and
American manned ships may regain
the carrying of our foreign commerce.
We indorse and approve the admin
istration of Governor Foster NJ
Voorhees, and the course of the Re-
publican Legislature, and we con-
graduate New Jersey upon the clean
and honest State government which
was promised to them when they
placed their public affairs under Re-
publican control.
We record our appreciation of the
brave and brilliant service of our
soldiers and sailors who have brought
success to our arms on land and sea.
We pledge the Republicans of New
Jersey to the earnest support of the
candidates for President and Vice
President who shall be nominated at
the coming National Convention in
Philadelphia.

The word children came before
the Pittsburg Court for a legal inter
probation. The late j. s. Atterbury
left an estate of $50, 900 to be divided
among the wife and four children of
his son. Since the testator's death
another daughter was born to the
sons wife, and the question of joint
heirship arose. The court gave vari-
GUS constructions of the word "child-
rem, !" and said that it was hardly
possible that the testator intended to
exclude any born after his death. He
held that the word children" was
intended to refer to class OF persons
taking all that might at any time
possibly become members Of that
class.

and of constructive ability Great
crises in our nations history have
been met under Republican policies
and leadership. Grand, strong and
patriotic, it carried us with safety
through the tragic scenes of the Civil
War, when our very existence as a
nation was attacked by armed rebel
lion. Again, it successfully mastered
the scarcely less difficult problems
arising out of the war, in the trying
days of reconstruction. 1t has always
been the stronghold and stay of sound
financial theories, and has resisted
successfully all assaults upon our
financial honor and integrity. 1t has
established and vindicated the bene-
ficent principles of protection to
American labor, the foundation Of that
wonderful prosperity now prevailing
throughout the length and breadth of
the land And so, believe this party
contains the brains, the courage, the
political sagacity and the high and
quenchless patriotism which will deal
with these great problems and settle
them in way to bring renown to our
land, and the priceless boon of liberty
and of prosperous civilization to
these islands of the sea. Under the
wise, sagacious and firm guidance of
President Mckinley the work already
begun will be carried on toward COM
pletion.
But fierce and exciting political
campaign is before us. am not one
of those who think that ours is to be
an easy victory. The campaign of
1896 must be fought over again. 1t is
already settled who are to be leaders
of the two great parties.
No political party was ever more
thoroughly discredited. than the party
of Bryan four years ago. Not only
did 1T go down to an overwhelming
defeat, but it went down most in
gloriously. Never was such vicious
assortment of political principles pro-
mulgated by national convention.
It assailed our currency and our ma
tional honor it waved the red flag of
anarchy; it challenged our courts of
Justice and the due administration
of the law. Thousands of self -respec
ting Democrats repudiated the plat
form and the candidate, and cast their
votes for honest money and national
integrity. In the coming campaign
we shall face a foe grown more willy.
The platform will be more polite. Its
most offensive features will be dis
guised; plausible appeals to prejudice
and ignorance will be made. The IA
miliar role of obstructive and carping
criticism will prevail, and many of
those who refused to support the tick
ct before will now find some convent
ent excuse to go back to the old party
The temporary organization was
made permanent.
