The Supreme Court win next Monday
render decision of wide Importance il
this State growing out Of the suit of tbs
City of Newark against the trolley road:
of that city. The assessors of that city
assessed the tracks and ties of the trolley
company as real estate. The State Board
of Taxation reversed the city authorities,
and held that the property in the Ties and
rails was personal property, and assessiblf
only as such. The case was carried to the
Supreme Court and the decision will be
handed down next Monday. The lay
mind will have struggle to the differen-
tiate between the assessable value as real OF
personal property, but it will be important
for all the people to know whether the
granting of the privilege of laying ties and
rails in the street confers a greater ease
ment in the street than is possessed by the
people at large. If it does the trolley
tracks will be held to be real estate for
purposes Of taxation.

Five Hundred Thousand Life Insurance
Claims Paid.

The Prudential Insurance Company of
America has recently paid its five hundred
thousandth claim. The Prudential is the
only life insurance company combining its
operations exclusively to the United States
that can point to such wonderful record,
and it shows what vast amount Of good
is being done by that Company particularly
through its system of Industrial or weekly :
payment, life insurance.
These 500, 900 claim payments show a
total amount of over $45, 100000 paid by
The Prudential on Industrial claims alone,
the daily number Of payments now averag-
ing over 200 The large amount of want
and distress prevented and relieved through
the just distribution of this vast sum of
money explains why Industrial insurance
is so popular in America.
On policies issued by The Prudential on
the Industrial plan, the premiums are
collected weekly at the homes of the policy
holders, in sums of five, ten or fifteen
cents, and upwards, per week. The Pru-
Dental has iberalized its policies very
materially since the organization of the
Company twenty-five years ago, aud in
addition has established for itself very
enviable position in the world of life
insurance by arranging for the payment of
all just claims Immediately upon receipt Of
proofs of death. Not only is this true, but
it has even arranged to pay certain claims
by telegraphy and Others directly through
its field representatives; so that, while
every preeaution is taken by the Company
to protect the interests of existing policy
holders, the money is placed in the hands
of the beneficiary at the earliest possible
moment. This practically doubles the
value of life insurance, particularly among
those holding Industrial policies, where
there is frequently no other ready money
at hand.
Another feature showing the Company s
liberal treatment Of its policy-holders is
that of additional benefits, by which an
Industrial policy, after it has been five
years in force, is credited with an additional
amount of insurance, without any addi-
tional expense whatever to the insured.
Considering both Ordinary and Indus
trial, The Prudential has paid over $50, :
100000 to its policy-holders since its
organization

A Newarker who had occasion to see
great gatherings of workingmen in France,
in England, in Scotland and in Germany,
last Spring, watched the labor procession
last Wednesday night with growing adj
miration and pride. Here were some
thousands of men, with representatives
probably of every one of the nations
mentioned, yet the difference in appear
ance was as wide as the ocean between
Tt was not merely in dress and general
smartness of outward appearance, but
faces were finer, intelligence far more
general and alterness of demeanor and
vigor of step showed an amazing contrast
with the foreign gatherings. There is
something in American air and training
which marks the whole man, and proves
again and again that the labor element
in this country is not to be considered on
the same basis as that of Europe. We
boast of our labor-saving machinery in
America, but our great labor saver is the
man who can think and act with vigor,
promptness and accuracy.

Nomination by Primary.

Nomination by political primaries is the
new principal that will doubtless appear in
the shape of a bill at the next session of
the State Legislature. It is now the law
in Minnesota, and is becoming popular all
over the West. A bill for tine purpose is
pending in the Senate of Pennsylvania
Party primaries under the new system are
conducted differently from the primary
elections now in vogue. There are no ma
chine tickets The nominations are open
to all, and are made by the voters. There
is no nominating convention; and, conse-
quently, no delegates are elected
The first effect of the new system is to
popularize the primary, and attract to it
those voters who have always neglected this
first duty of the citizen. Hedged about
with the safe guards of regular elections,
the primary will become all that the found
ers of our Government desire it to be, and
as free from sinister influence as the old
New England town meeting, out of which
the primary system grew.
Newark Advertiser.
There is no change of law more needed
than this 1t would make our present cleo
ton system in New Jersey as nearly perfect
as any system can be until mems ballots be
taken right at their homes.
And the primary election reform should
not only be held under the present election
boards of both parties but the nominations
of both the leading parties should be made
at the same time giving every voter the
option of which party he will act with.
Any parties other than the two need no
special protection. There will never be
corruption or fraud to get a nomination
which does not carry with it chance for
an election to the Office sought.

The Newark Nelos calls attention to this,
one of the many queer things found in the
game law: In reference to fiickers, or high
holders, by the General Fish and Game act,
approved March %, these birds may be
lawfully killed during the months of Sep
TENDER and October, but by another act,
approved March 20, entitled IAN act for
the protection of birds and their nests and
eggs" it is forbidden to kill them at any
time, under penalty of S. fine, or i'm
prisonment for ten days, or both. Another
peculiar feature is that while in the fish
and game law the open season for these
birds is the months of September and Octo-
Der, no penalty is fixed for killing them
out of season.

The historian Froude says Eff there be
one lesson which history clearly teaches, it
is this-that free nations cannot govern
subject provinces. If they are unable or
unwilling to admit their dependencies to
share their own Constitution, the Constitu-
ton itself will fall in pieces from mere
incompetence for its duties. These words
were written when the writer was looking
backward over the rise and fall of past
empires; but there is warning in them for
the empire builders who are looking ahead
Of which they may well take heed.
