STRENGTHENING Gut Essex Tangle

Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News''l
NEWARK. Aug. 90 l9O0-Political RI
valry is waxing so hot in the Republican
camp in Essex County that the State
leaders have decided to take a hand, and
on high authority it is stated that their
present intention is to force Major Carl
Lentz to take a back seat during the
campaign. Major Lentz of late has been
following a. course that runs counter to
the interests of certain men who are a
power in the party in the State and
county.
An effort is also to be made to force for
mer Comptroller John s. Gibson. of New
ARK, an opponent of Major Lentz, to step
out of the race for the Republican Con-
gressional nomination so that Congress-
man Parker will be renominated without
opposition

7 he Academy Restaurant.

Messrs. Gaskins and Ga nes, two
popular and enterprising young men OF
this city, have leased and fitted up
most elegantly what is now known as
''The Academy Restaurant at 500 sth
street, northwest. This is one of the
best locations in the city, the rear en-
trance in front of the Academy Of Music
and the front ell trance opposite Ksnn's.
They opened the doors to the public
last Monday and since then the restau.
rant has been crowded with their pa
tions and with friends offering con-
gratulations. "The Academy Restau
rant" will be conducted on high
plane and will be first class in every
particular. The very best of everything
may be had and those who patronlze
the place may expect gilt edged service
for the smallest money. Mr. A J. Gas
kins the senior mem Der of the firm was
for seven years manager OF the Chevy
Chase Club, one OF the richest clubs of
its kind in this section, but left that
club to enter into business for himself.
Mr.. Frank Gaines has been connected
as head man at Osborne and Hoban's
corner G and 7th streets, for number
ofyears and has managed that place
to the satisfaction of the firm and the
public generally. They start under
bright auspices and will no doubt get
their share of the business.

FREEDOM.
BY JAMES Russell LOWELL.

Men, whose boast is that ye
Come of fatt ers brave and free,
If there breathe on earth slave
Are you truly free and brave?
II you do not feel the chain,
When ii wori a brothers pain,
Are ye not base slaves indeed,
Slaves unworthy to be freed?
Women who shall one day bear
Sons to breathe New England air,
If ye hear v ithout a blush,
Deeds to make the reused blood rush
Like red lava through your veins,
For your sister ow in chains
Answer! are ye fit to be
Motl ers of the brave and free.
Is true freedom but to break
Fetters for our own dear sake,
And, with leathern heart, forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No! true freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear
And W th heart and hand to be,
Earnest to make others free!
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think.
They are slaves who dare not be
IN the right with two or three

getting to take into consideration the
practicability of said route.
This route should then receive first
attention in the way Of permanent i'm
provements. The road should be prop
erly graded before any other improve
ments are attempted. The wash of the
roads, which accumulates along the
sides or in the gutter Is absolutely
worthless as filler, and should
be carted out upon adjacent places as
fertilizer.
Places where winter springs abound
should receive strict attention in the
way of being thoroughly underdrained.
believe that the tile draining springy,
heavy clay OF soggy roads, should have
more than a passing thought from the
fact that not only in word, but in deed,
1t becomes the foundation of good
roads. This having been DONE then in
this township where good gravel is SO
abundant, it should, by all means, be
utilized, but not sparingly. About three
loads should be put to n place; two
loads side by side, and another on top.
This will form a lasting bed and leave
1t crown-shaped enough to drain the
water readily to the sides.
While it is a great advantage to ev-
cry farmer to have good set of ma
nurc boards even for his own benefit,
/ take the liberty here to say that every
one. ordered ont, by the supervisor to
haul gravel should come with his wag-
ON adjusted that a cubic yard Of earth
OF gravel cuuld he hauled upon each
and every: load Two by four by ten
| foot pine stuff should be used for the
bottom, with 2x12 mclI by 10 feet for
the sides; two end pieces, 2x12 inches,
long enough TO reach from one side
board to the other, with cleats bolted
to the side boards six inches from each
end so as to retain the end-pieces and
sides in an upright position. The sides
and bottom pieces should be sloped SO
as to form a good handhold and pre-
| vent thereby any accident to the fin
gers or hands in unloading, and at the
same time facilitate the work, and
keep even temper throughout the day.
If these suggestions were needed you
would be surprised as to the amount
of gravel, four, five, or six teams
would move in one day. The saying,
that what is worth doing at all, is
worth doing WELL shall be not only the
