The story goes that Mr.. Powell who is married
accompanied Miss Hanhart to the school one after
noon last winter when she had forgotten book

Mrs. Clark says she heard of the case and told
the girl to inform Charles D. Larkins, the prtn-
cipaI which she did. Mr.. Larkins Mrs. Clark says
accused her of GOssiping, and declared that ne
would not recommend her reappointment.
Mrs. Clark has been at the school for two years.

ports of Mr.. Larkins that her work has been sat

NEW-JERSEY NEWS.

An esteemed-a highly esteemed. in fact
New-Jersey contemporary has apparently
dropped a stitch in It's political knitting which
is generally so we'll heeled and toed as TO be
among the most trustworthy examples OF that
kind of work in the State. But when II says
that 1.-The Republicans of the WITH Congress DIS
trct expect the denomination Of Congressman
Cadmus" by the Democrats II is surely getting
mixed in it's arrangement of the districts. MT
Cadmus represented the With New-Jersey Dis
trict in the Lid and the Lid Congresses. and
was succeeded by James s Stewart who is still
member of the House and whose renomina-
ton seems to be assured Mr.. Cadmus has not,
therefore been conspicuous in public life for
some time. The WITH New-Jersey district was
represented by Mahlon Pitney in the LIVth and
LVth Congresses when he was succeeded by
J. S Solomon whe defeated John I. Blair Kelley
Mr.. Solomon confidently expects to be renom-
mated. and far noteworthy opposition
within his party line has developed. II. as
The Newark Sunday Call" intimates. Mr.
Kelley is again to be the Republican candidate.
it is hoped that he will receive better treatment
in the home of his friends than given him
two years ago. when he ought to have been
elected. There is a story, brief in contents but
large in consequences, that has never been pub
Icly told in connection with that campaign in
the WITH District, and it is not believed, for OBJ
vious reasons, that those Republicans who were
in great measure responsible for Mr.. Reiley's
defeat would care to assume the same RESPONSE
bility in the Democracy for the second time.
The city of Eliza beth, which used to give away
franchises with Iiberality that indicated that
they going begging, is becoming more care
full of these valuable privileges as the years go
by, and is taking good care that they be made to
produce the revenues to which their Importance
entities them. This is exactly right. And yet
there are corporations affecting to believe that
any city refusing to yield to their demands is
putting up stone walls against the progressive
spirit of the times. If Jersey City, for instance,
had made the most OF its valuable franchises,
it's present debt would not be large nor so
great burden to bear. Take good care of the
franchises. The corporations may be intrusted
to take good care of themselves.
There many indications that First Voter
clubs are going &c be a Republican feature in
the present campaign in New-Jersey. The at
tractive personality of Teddy Roosevelt has
captivated Young America everywhere and IN
no State of the Union more thoroughly and
unanimously than in New-Jersey. Hence the
popularity of First Voter clubs in the State.
There cannot be too many of them, and the
more promptly they organized the better
will be the results in November
