ASTHMA INSTANTLY RELIEVED.

DR.. r. SchiHmann Astounds the Public with
the Success Of His Treatment.
Residents of this place were astonished
by notifications in these columns last week
that the celebrated physician, DR.. Rudolph
Schiffmann, would make public test of his
remedy in this city. He invited every man,
woman and child suffering with Asthma to
call at J. w. Merritt's drug store and OBJ
tain, absolutely free, trial box of his
medicine. DR.. Schiffmann adopted this
novel way of introducing his treatment,
believing that free personal test would be
the best and only way to overcome the
prejudice and scepticism of thousands Of
asthmatics who had given up in despair
after going through the whole range of So
called cures He has in this manner proved
the efficacy Of this remedy, and without
asking the public to spend penny. DR.
Schiffmann hopes that every sufferer in
this town obtained one of his free samples.
He fears, however, that there were some
few who did not, before they were all given
out In order to give fair opportunity to
those who have not yet used the remedy,
and also as a guarantee of good faith, he
has now requested this paper to announce
that he has arranged with the above drug
gist to refund the money to any person who
purchases of them either so cent or 81 90
package of Schiffmann's Asthma Cure
between now ard October 25, and finds
that it does not do exactly as is claimed for
it; the only condition being that they re-
turn not less than three-fourths of the
package to them. DR.. Schiffmann claims
that in every case of true asthma his remedy
will give immediate relief-usually within
fifteen seconds; always within as many
minutes. 1t las positively permanently
cured thousands Of cases which were con-
sidered incurable.

Thomas M. Ferrell as a Candidate.

From the Newark Evening News.
Conviction is growing that the move
ment in South Jersey in favor of Thomas
NJ. Terrell, as the Democrat candidate for
Governor, is something more than a pre-
tence or a feint to cover the real attack
upon the Seymour hosts. 1t now seems
probable that the candidacy OF Mr.. Ferrell
is genuine and that he has been selected as
the man aIuuad whom to rally the Demo-
cratic forces that can ue esrroyad in onnosi-
ton to Mayor Seymour.
While many may think it would be a
wiser policy to nominate a North jersey
candidate, it will not do to underestimate
the strength of Mr. Terrell. His popular
ity in his county has been shown in at least
half dozen hard-fought political battles
In majority Of these he has been victo-
rious. In the others his defeats were by
narrow margins, and Gloucester is Re-
publican county. That his strength is not
confined to Gloucester is demonstrated by
the fact that once he carried the First Con-
gressionaI District against George NJ Robe
Presidential year was defeated ny only a
small majority by George Hires, OF Salem,
one of the most popular Republicans in the
district
Mr.. FerrelI's strength is in the hold
which he has upon the common people. A
glassblower by trade, he has always been in
close touch and sympathy with wage earn.
ers. At the same time it cannot be said
truthfully that he has ever descended tC
the arts of the demagogue.

From the Trenton True Americana

Thomas NJ. Ferrell, who is now being so
eriously talked of in connection with the
Democratic nomination for Governor, is
Jerseyman by birth and residence. He
was born at Glassboro, in Gloucester Co.,
in 1874. He was employed in the glass
factories there, and held positions of trust
and responsibility in the local governments.
In 1879 and 1880 he was elected to the
House of Assembly for the Second District
by votes which were convincing Of his
great personal popularity. In 1881 he was
elected to the State Senate and served with
such distinction that in the Fall OF 1882 he
was selected to contest the First Congress
sional District against ex7Secretary Robe
son, who had been re-nominated for Con-
gress. After q contest of great interest,
Mr. Ferrell was elected by majority of
1716, carrying each one of the five Repub-
Iican counties of Camden, Cape May
Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem. In
all his official career Mr.. Ferrell has dis
played rage judgment and perfect con-
scientiousness. Always ready to labor for
the people and the interests committed to
his care, he has been thoughtful and con-
servative, recognizing the equal application
of government with its rights and duties to
all the people. His selection by the Demo-
Gratis of South Jersey will give to his
candidacy for the nomination solid
foundation and place him well on the way
to successful issue.

A Juror With a Pass.

[From Newark Daily Advertiser.l
Down in Camden county a man with an
annual railroad pass has been excluded
from a trial jury in damage case, because
he held the pass. Justice Garrison pre-
sided in the case and sustained the objec-
ton to the jury.
'Why, your Honor" exclaimed the
counsel for the defendant company, if
that challenge were sustained every Su-
preme Court Judge in the State would be
liable to challenge. 1t is absurd" To
which remark Justice Garrison responded:
You are wrong. l have never accepted a
pass from any one except those that the
law of the State makes it obligatory upon
the companies to give.''
Justice Garrison was right in regard to
justices. The legal requirement upon
railroad companies as to passes for the
Judiciary is small return to the State
for the immense franchise values given to
the companies upon which they virtually
pay no taxes. In the matter of transpor-
tation fayors, therefore, the Judiciary is
independent of the companies.
The action of the justice in excluding
the juror in case involving the interests
of railroad company was also eminently
proper. The jury box should be kept
sacred and every possible influence that
might operate to the prejudice of justice
should be excluded from it,

Another OF last Winters laws has gone
overheard, with its enacting clause chop
ped off by judicial decision. An election
in Elizabeth gave the Democrats the con-
troll of Common Council, and it was
determined by the Republican bosses that
the election must be counterbalanced by
legislative action. To do this an act was
prepared with the knowledge Of Governor
Voorhees, and Senator Cross, whereby the
Governor was to have power, at his dis
erection, to set up commission to change
the ward lines in such cities as he might
think needed remodeling. Elizabeth and
Paterson were picked out. of course, and
the commissioners set at work, but the
Democrats refused to join in the swindle,
and on appealing to the Supreme Court
have been sustained, upon the three
grounds, that the law was an improper
delegation Of Legislative power upon the
Governor; that the law was special and
that it provided for the regulation of
government by commission
by the State. Any one of these
objections was fatal, but the Supreme
Court seemed to think it best to not only
kill the scheme, but prevent its resuscita-
tion.

tempt to Destroy Colon.
Washington. Sept. 21.-The Schley
court of inquiry reconvened yesterday
and before adjournment examined
four witnesses. The most important
incident of the day was the decision Of
the court withdrawing question, put
by the court itself, asking a witness
to give his opinion concerning point
in controversy. The witness was Rear
Admiral Higginson, who participated
in the Santiago campaign as captain
of the battleship Massachusetts,. This
vessel at one time was part Of the
flying squadron commanded by Com
modore Schley and the court asked
him to state whether all possible
measures were taken to capture or de-
stroy the Spanish vessel Christobal
Colon as it lay in Santiago harbor from
May az to June 1, 1898. Counsel for
Admiral Schley objected to the Ques>
ton on the ground that reply would
involve an opinion and not state
ment of facts. Judge Advocate Lemly
admitted that the presidents were
against questions of this character,
and the court withdrew this interroga-
tory.
Captain HARDER was asked con-
corning the position of the Brooklyn
relative to the Texas and to the other
ships when he first saw her after the
turn ''The Brooklyn" he said, twas on
the port bow Of the Texas, standing at
an angle I should say approximating
one-half point to the southwark of the
heading of the Texas. At that time
the Oregon was just forging past US on
the starboard side, in shore. The Iowa
was still farther in shore and pointing
up, so that her bow overlapped our
bow At one time know that we fired
across the stern of the Iowa"
Recurring to the Brooklyn, he sai'
he had seen that vessel Immediately
after it had executed the loop, when
it was on the port bow of the Texas,
about 800 feet distant. The Texas was
not then moving at her full speed, be-
cause the Oregon was passing her. If
the Texas at that time backed or
stopped he was not aware Of the cir
cumstance.

On the eve of the Democratic State
Gubernatorial Convention, there is renewed
encouragement to believe that Gloucester
county's candidate, Hon. THOMAS M.
TERRELL, will start in the race with more
than an even prospect Of victory.
The only candidate we have to fear is
Hon. James M. Seymour, three times
elected Mayor of Newark, whose strength
is in the solid support Of Hudson, Union
and some of the Northern counties Mr.
Ferrell will have on the first ballot the
solid vote of the First and Second Con-
gressional Districts, and large portion of
the Third and Fourth. After the favorite
sons are remembered by complimentary
vote the contest will come between Terrell
and Seymour, and from our point Of view
at this time, political wisdom win guide
the delegates to choose that candidate
whose nomination will unite the party and
bring to its support elements that viii
place New Jersey in the Democratic col
umn, and give the people Governor again.
