Profoundly significant is that old joke
about the laborer who left his pickax
hanging in the air at the stroke of

emblem for a confirmed clock-watcher
and the pickax hangs always in the
air, never digs out path for him to

HOBOKEN'S MAYORALTY
Several BoomIets and Wha
They Are Worth.

Hoboken Democrats are not taking seri-
ously the rumor that Councilman Oscar
Frommel will be the fusion candidate for
Mayor. Fromme is out of town and con-
sequently could not be seen by News
reporter this morning. Police Commits
sioner Adolph Laundering, who is slated
for the regular Democratic nomination
for Mayor, pays little attention to the
Frommel rumors.
1t is said that Frommel would get the
Republican nomination and that he would
carry large part of the Independent
vote. The Executive Committee of the
Independent German Association has al
ready endorsed Lankering. Nobody seems
to know where Frederick Verdon's little
boom for Mayor will come in, if it comes
in at all.
Mayor Fagan has not yet revealed his
plans. There are some who believe that
the Mayor will take no important part in
the campaign But then no one ever
knows what the Mayor will do next.
Mayor Pagan, of Hoboken, has return
ed from the Pan-American Exposition
where he spent ten days. The Mayor said
this morning that he had nothing to say
regarding politics. He seems to have de-
termined to keep silent until the campaign
opens anyway Some Hobokenites are of
the opinion that Fagan is tired of politics
and intends to get out of it, but there are
others who say he has a few fireworks to
shoot off yet.

they are receiving their money, and have
no reason to complain, except as to the

ing up the matter of selecting date for
the celebration of Jersey Day" at the
Pan-American Exposition.
ST have not heard from Buffalo the
Governor said, land until I do l snail not
know what days are open. If President
Mckinley improves I shall take the ques-
ton up early next week and fix another
date
President Richard c. Jenkinson, of the
New Jersey Pan-American Commission,
has heard from every member of that
body, and each commissioner asks HIM
to urge the Governor to act promptly
in the matter.
These commissioners argue that aside
from the proper observance of day due
to the dignity of the State, the manu-
facturers and other exhibitors should
have some consideration. They have gone
to considerable expense to make their ex-
hibits attractive for the prescribed State
day. and all their decorations and extra
machinery are on hand ready to be used
if the day is not too long postponed.
