II il reported that 5000 persons,
chiefly Boer children. have persisted In
the South African concentration camps
established by Great Britain In lis
policy Of subjuga,lng and robbing the
Beers of their Independence and their
diamond fields. IL is the same in
human policy that Butcher" weyler
instituted Ia Cuba, which aroused the
indignation Of the civilized world aud
the intervention Of the United States
against Spanish cruelty and oppression
in that island. hut In the former in
stance our government looks 90 with
listlcss interest, without protest or n
word 10 say--without even an express
sion Of sympathy for the brave, Chris
tian people Of tho South African Re-
publics, whose homrs are invaded,
whose republican institutions have
been broken up by a great monarchial
power ut the instance of its robber
syndieates and Rdyenturcrs Of the
jameson asd Cecil Rhodes type.
Has our late departure from the
congratulated principles Of our gov
crnmcnt aud the Declaration Of indie
pendencc Of our fathers into the realm
Of colonialism so stnntcd our sympathy
for people conteudiug for their lib
oriy aud homes that we can look upon
such things with no concern And
does this unconccrn fpreshadow q
similar policy towards the inhabitants
Ut our forribly annexed colonies who
refuse to bow tamcly to what the late
President Mckinley once designated as

Aud so II seems the United States Is

they allied themselves with us against

To Superintendent Graves Of the

Missouri Commissioners to the Pan
American Exposition At Buffalo, is due
much of the credit for the splendid
showing which our State has made,
especially In its mineral and industrial
exhibits. When Mr.. Graves under,
takes anything he throws his whole
heart aud energy into tho enterprise,
and he is such a genial, whole-soulcd
fellow that he succeeds where many
another would fail Not only was he
tircless in his efforts to make the best
showing Of the States mineral and
other resources, but contributed liber.
ally to the ENposition's attractions
from his magnificent private collection
of minerals, gems aud curios from all
parts Of tho wOrld-a collection that
Is not surpassed perhaps for It's scope,
variety and interest outside the Smith
sonian Institute at Washington. II
may be hard 10 believe that such
collection exists in one Of the little
mining towns of ST. Francois county,
but nevertheless It is fact. With all
his other business Interests, Mr.. Graves
has for several years given especial
and passionate attention and cart to
this subject, aud the expositions at
Chicago, Omaha and buffalo have all
enjoyed the rare pleasure Of his enter
prise In this direction. 1T. Francois

The ConmOner.
(Mr. Bryan's Paper.)

The Commoner has attained
within six months from date
of the first issue a circulation
of 100000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the
history of American periodical
literature. The unparalleled
growth Of this paper demon
strates that there is room in
the newspaper field for a ma
tional paper devoted to the
discussion of political, econo-
mic and social problems. To
the columns of The Commoner
Mr.. Bryan contributes his best
efforts; and his review of polit-
ical events as they arise from
time to time cannot fail to in
terest those who study public
questions.
The Commoner's regular
subscription price is $1.W per
year. We have arranged with
Mr.. Bryan whereby we can
furnish his paper and THE
FARMINCToN TIMES together
for one year for sl.70, The
regular subscription price Of
the two papers when subscrib.
ed for separately is $500.

The Stone Ransom.

The delay Ia making up the amount
Of Miss stones ransom has become
the striking feature OF the case. Her
misfortune Is one that appeals TO every
body and her work has made Der many
friends, large bumber OF whom are
among the wealthy classes. One
would think that the money needed
would be forthcoming promptly from
philanthropie circles, where foreign
mission work Ia considered particularly
mcritorious, bat still the contribution

Presumably the most potent caase
Of this Is the American aversion TO
blackmail or anything that savors OF
1t. We probably got the sentiment
with our Anglo-Ssxon blood, for the
English always had an unique record
for opposition to exlortion. This was
shown In resistance TO taxes on numer-
Gus occasions, varying from pariimen-
tary opposition TO jobs Hampden's
stand against the ship money. And
there were other manifestations. Tn

Americans have shown similar
spirit. This was the iirst nation that
refused the humiliating condition of
paying tribute to Algeria to avoid the
depredations OF tho Algerine pirates.
Commodore Decatur not only defeated
the Aigcrine fleet, but went into the
harhor OF Algicrs and made the dey
surrender his prisoners. England very
promptly followed the example. Some
what similar was tho Martin Koszika
case. When the Austrian captain inn

the money spent on war and in prep
arations foy war was spent to redeem
the world from error, there would be
no need for arsenals and forts. The
poem Is recalled by a Semi-ofilcial lot
ter from Mr.. ljrodrick, English secrc-
tary of War, which was read nj the
recent Butler luncheon In the begin.
ming Of tho South African conflict Paul
Kruger declared that the effurt Of
England in her policy Of suhiugation
would result In a sacrifice OF blood
and treasure that would staggcr the
crsdullty of tho world. The threat
was lightly passed at the time, bu, AZ
weeks passed into months and months
heightened into years without the ccs-
sation Of hos,iliIies, the prophecy has
come back with sickening force upon
those who formerly derided IL.
The report of Mr.. Brodrick shows
that England has now an actual tight
ing force 300, 900, backed by $50
guns. The government at the pres
cnl time Is sending supplies 10 South
Africa sufficient for Sl4. 900 persons
and 245, 900 horses sbd mnles. Be-
sides this 100. 900 more soldiers are
now In ,raiOipg in England, preparS-
tory to shipment 10 the scene Of ao-
lion should necessity require. When
against this overwhelming force OF
regularly trained soldiers Is matched
the 1000 crude farmers OF the veldt,
the conclusion Of the struggle seems
near at hand
However, the odds have been as
great from the beginning. The easu-
allies to the British are actually In ex-
cess Of those Of the Beers who have
been under arms. The following rec.

HANDSOME LIBRARY HOME
BridgetOn Library Association
Opens the New Building.

The Bridgeton Library Association
has permanent home, a building of
its own, and every dollar of the ex-
penses attending the enterprise has
been raised by the indefatigable
efforts of the earnest women who have
been carrying on the work.
The old Cumberland Bank building
adjoining the City Hall on East Com
merce street, has for some time been
in the hands of the carpenters, paint
ers and paper hangers, and Wednesday
in its finished completion was pre-
sented to the public by the Library
Association.
Many there were who accepted the
invitation to view the handsome Ii
brary home, and expressions of pleas
ure, interest and congratulation were
directed to the ladies who received
the visitors.
The building is far more spacious
than one would imagine from an ex-
ternal glance. Entering the spacious,
inviting doors one finds himself in a
comfortable lobby Before him an
open, easy stairway leading to the
second floor, where the committee
room and boys game rooms are To-
Gated
Turning to the left and the great,
luxurious library rooms are before
you. The two great rooms, with high
ceilings, are thrown together, with
the reception room in front and the
library proper in the rear, although
well filled book racks are upon all
sides of the rooms Tables crowded
with magazines and pictorial papers
are conveniently placed, and there
are waiting comfortable chairs
Large pieces of stationery and brio
a-brac with splendid pictures add
much to the decoration.
The down stairs walls are covered
with a rich terra Gotta felt paper, and
lighter effects are shown upon the
second floor. The floors are highly
polished, with rich druggets and rugs
scattered about.
The second floor game room for the
boys is appropriately furnished, and
will be popular. The toilet room is
also upon the second floor.
Palms and plants added greatly to
the appearance of the rooms.
Further improvement will be made
to the building in the spring, when
the exterior will be painted, and the
grounds made more attractive

Cumberland Bible Society.

The committee appointed to make
arrangements for the holding of the
eighty sixth anniversary of the Cum
berland Bible Society have decided to
hold their annual meeting this year,
in Trinity M. E. Church, Bridgeton-
Rev. D. B. Harris, pastor-on the
afternoon and evening of the 14th of
November inst, when eloquent
speakers will be heard Hitherto, the
annual meeting has been held in May
or June-the change having been
made this year by way of experiment,
as the summer meetings conficted
often with church and school assem-
blies and did not suit the farmers and
others. This society has done a noble
work in Bible distribution among the
destitute of the county and should
have the most cordial support of the
public. Annual memberships, at fifty
cents, are solicited by them, and the
treasurer, H. W. Fithian, will gladly
receive such further amounts as may
be handed him for the cause of gem
eral Bible circulation. Instead of
waiting to be called on, why not call
at Mr. Fithian' store and give your
name as a member of this venerable
Society

But for the slump in Commercial,
Downe and Maurice River, growing
out of the dissatisfaction of the oys-
termen, old Cumberland would have
rolled up $500 for the entire ticket.
The vote was very fair, although
not as great as last year. Seymour
carried Commercial, Downe and Deer
field. Murphy carried every other
ward, township and Borough in the
county. Minch, for Senator carried
everything but Deerfield.
The ref arms come in very slow, and
it was long after midnight before
pluralities could be safely estimated.
County Chairman Alex. R. Fithian at
midnight telegraphed the Republican
State Committee that Cumberland
would give 1900 for Murphy. The
figures will exceed this.
1t is impossible to get anything like
the actual figures at this time, and
the "Pioneer" will not present it's
table until after the official vote is
announced on Friday.
Taking up the townships, Deerfeld
gave Seymour but IA plurality, the
Second precinct cutting down the
usual Democratic plurality. But for
Senator did little better, carrying
the township by 80. Stow Greek gave
Murphy 2S and Minch a. Lawrence
surprised all the politicians, Murphy
coming out with 26 plurality and
Minch 80. Hopewell did grandly.
Murphy received Al plurality and
Minch 43. Fairfield rolled up plur-
ality of 112 for Murphy and gave
Minch 124. Maurice River gave
Minch 40, while the Governor did the
same thing. Commercial gave Sey-
mour Is and Minch got the township
by So.
Old Landis with Vineland gave
Murphy 381 plurality and Minch 366.
Millville sends word over that Muir
ply and Minch will have over seven
hundred.
In all the county the Republican
candidates for Assembly were very
nearly with the head of the ticket.
In Bridgeton the contest was un-
usually interesting, the fight being
principally upon candidates for Coun-
Gil.
Murphy carried the First ward by
"a; the Second by 100; the Third by
1888; the Fourth by 21O and the Fifth,
10, making total plurality of 523.
Minch carried the city by 515. AS
follows: First ward, 26; Second
ward, 1874; Third ward, 1888; Fourth
ward, 1863; Fifth, 13.
The Republicans reelected City
Treasurer Samuel H. Hitchner by
about 600, and elected Councilmen il
the Second, Third and Fourth. Re
publican Freeholders were elected il
the Second and Fourth, while the
Democrats elected Jacob R. Elwell il
the First.

Asbury Park, Nov. 5.-Seven of the
sixteen townships and five of the seven
cities or boroughs that have been off
clally heard from indicate that Muir
ply, for Governor, has carried Mon
mouth county over Seymour by about
25O majority. All but one of the nine
townships unheard from were carried
by Crane, Dem, at the last Guberna-
torial election. The same returns to-
night indicate the election of Charles

new JERSEY
IS REPUBLICAN.
Murphy Has Magnificent Vote
all Over the State.
WINS BY OVER 10000.
Great Triumph for Good Government
and Settles the Fact That New
Jersey is Republican State.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 5.-Franklin
Murphy, Republican, was to-day
elected Governor of New Jersey, de-
feating James M. Seymour, Democrat.
The first indications of success are
confirmed by report received up to 2
O'Clock. The leaders here believe that
the majority will be 10000, which is
5000 more than was received by Gov
ernor Voorhees, three years ago. The
Democrats failed dismally to come up
to their expectations in Essex county.
Incomplete returns from Hudson in
dictate that Seymour will only get
5000 there, while some of his support
ers expected 1900.

HannilY Snrnrised

Thursday night Miss Matte Van
leer, of North Laurel street, was am
other victim of gay masqueraders,
some twenty of them giving her a
happy surprise at her home. All the
masqueraders were cleverly disguised,
and the CALCULATIONS of surprise, when
masks were removed, were heard upon
all sides. The evening was merrily
spent with all sorts of games, and
some pretty music was enjoyed One
of the features was the duet by Misses
Elsie Ware and Eta Lloyd. Miss
Mary Day furnished music on the
organ. Tempting refreshments were
served late in the evening.
