SCAvENGERS LAW PROTECTED

A stranger in Calcutta cannot fail to quickly remark the vast number of crows that inhabit all parts of the city. and the tameness of the adJu- tant birds-a species of stork-who fearlessly perambulate it's streets. The reason for this is that both crows and adjutant birds are protect ed by law on account of their Scaven- ger work.
 Probably in no other part of the world do the crows appear so plump, impudent and glossy. While their coats shine as if they received each morning polish of blacking. their au- dacity is astonishing. Hither and thither they ramble over the whole city, strolling about the porch of the viceroy's palace with an air as if they divided the honors of the gov ernment with King Edwards repre- sentative, hopping inquisitively into places of public worship and invading the homes of rich and poor, European and native, with unruft1ed temerity.
 In many of the European houses spaces are left between the top of the wall and the roof CT ceiling to admit a current of air in hot weather, and through these spaces comes Jim Crow in search of the dining room and a better proyender than he is likely to pick up in the gutter. But leave a meal unguarded for a moment and good portion of 1t is likely to be borne of through one of these yentilators.
 It is in q far more dignified manner that the adintant bird goes about his business. With an abstracted mien he stalks solemnlv along the gutter. occasionally stepping up on the side walk in the European quarter. as 1T escaped the inspectors notice, ana the shop windows. If he gets in yonr way he budges not an inch. and Tor you is reserved the right of taking the curb. But like the crow, his best work is done in the .baZaarS of the native quarter where he demolisheS many a germ breeding pile which has escaped the inspectors notice ana thus often prevents an outbreak or cholera With snakes, too. he IS nor upon friendly terms and his long bill no donbt often destroys a nest Of co bras in the suburbs.
 That he is bird possessed of much patience may be noted by his actions rornd the burning ghats. Undoubfed- lv this virtue would be an extra feath- CT in his moral plumage were it not directed toward 2 grnesome oh1e"f. It being the obiect of every Hindu that his body after death shall reSr in the sacred Ganges or one of It's trihr+arias. in order that this sent'- mental idea may ha carried out " conformity with the preservation or pnhlic health. the authorities prov1de ghats or hnrning places for the dead on the banks. so that the ashes may be cast into the river. This. according to the Hindu belief. insnres a certain entry into heaven.though bv a less sneady ronte than if the hodv ha6 been given 10 the river without nre- vions d'sfntegration. Conseunentlv many bodies are smuggled into the river and it is for these the adiutant bird ao patiently watches. For days he will wait around the ghatas. first standing on one leg and then on the other. with an air SO abstracted that he might be likened to Brahmin as-

An icicle, dropping into a barrel of unslaked lime, started a fire in one of the buildings at the new state cap stol at Jackson, Miss. few days ago. The watchman turned in an alarm. The fremen threw water upon the fire, but that caused hundreds of bar rels of lime to ignite, and the build- ing was speedily destroyed, the de- partment devoting it's attention to saving the new structure and adjoin- ing buildings.

Milk Teams Had Hard Time Getting

I uIUUSH LIII L5.
 At 8 o'clock last evening Watertown was all but showed in. Most of the trains were late, but no kicks were registered. as those who were com pelled to travel felt well satisfied at being able to get home. Very few milk teams came to the center, as the roads are badly drifted. The retail milk dealers in Waterbury must have run short in supplying their customers this morning.

LOYALTY THE DUTY OF ALL REPuB-
LlCANS.

Under the caption of "Voters be
Loyal" a correspondent of the Eliz-
abeth Journal aptly says: When
the citizens of Elizabeth and of Union
county stop to think of the pros
perity that has put new life into
their city, they cannot but realize
how disastrous it would be were
there to be political change this
November.
With congressman and state
senator up for election this fall
who have already proved their
loyalty to their party and their
ability to further the interest of
the people. there should be no half
hearted enthusiasm on the subject OF
this election. Too much depends
upon the successful ending of this
campaign to let an idle hour pass
withoutseaoh loyal voter using every
exertion to make the coming election
a sweeping success for Charles N.
Fowler and Judge Gross, both men
who are an honor to the Republican
party.
Mr.. Fowler has already done too
much for this county to allow any
one to doubt his doing still more in
the next two years, and if the enemy
cry out against his election it is be-
cause they acknowledge his power,
and realize how slim are their
chances with such a man against
them.
No good Republican can fail to see
that with the loyal, brainy men on
their ticket, who have and can do SO
much for Elizabeth and for Union
county, it will be criminal to let
business, pleasure, or carelessness
keep them from doing all in their
power on election day to see that
every Republican voter is at the
polls ON election day.

VOTE FOR DAVID YOUNG.

The Dover Index asks it's readers
to vote for Mr.. Reed for Surrogate,
because the office has been held for
twenty-five years by Doverite and
now the shire town should have an
as Editor Hummell can find no
stronger argument than geographical
location to support his candidate, it
can be set down as a sure thing that
he is very shy on ammunition. He
has no shells in his magazine that
will pierce the armor of efficiency,
ability and high character of David
Young, so he is firing off few blank
cartridges just to make little noise
as evidence that he is doing his best
with small arms. Mr.. Hummel has
always been persistent and con-
sistent fighter for everything touching
Dover's interest or aggrandlzement,
and the position he now takes on the
Surrogate question shows the straits
into which he has been forced. In
the five years conduct of the Office
by Mr.. Young this most vigorous Of
partisans can find neither spot nor
blemish, and when the Index cannot
find a cause for criticising political
opponent that man must have q
record above reproach. And that is
the fact, and that 10 why Mr..
Young will be his own successor
We cOndole with neighbOx Hummell,
hnt felicitate the people Of Morris
county upon the assurance of having
so excellent an official as Mr.. Young

Dover, n, J., Oct. 20, 1902.
Mr. D. R HUMMER,
Sec. Morris Coz Republican Com,
Morristown, N. ].
DEAR SIR:
Yours of this date, wishing to be
informed if the petition for, and
styled the Independent Labor
Ticket was the result of any &C
ton taken by the Executive Conn
mittee of the Labor Party of Do
yer, and if it has the endorsement
of such Committee, received.
The Executive Committee of the
Labor Party decided at meet
ing, held some weeks ago, that
no Labor ticket would be nomi-
mated by them to be supported at
the coming election, and, further
more, that no endorsement of any
ticket would be made by this Com
mittee. The action of the Com
mittee taken at that time has not
since been reconsidered,
Therefore the ticket named I" In
dependent Labor Party " is not the
result Of any action of this Com
mittee, and has not received it's
endorsement, and has no claim to
the support of the Labor Party of
Dover.
In closing, desire to say that I
do not consider this Labor Tick
ct and that personally shall not
give it my support.
Yours truly,
JOSEPH McSoLEY.

THE DEMAND FOR A FIRST GLASS
SHERIFF.

The Republican party has very
carefully and with pleasure given,
heed to the demand echoed on all
sides, that first class man should be
nominated for Sheriff. The record
of Mr.. Ryerson's public and private
life is not only spotless but it bears
evidence that he is highly qualified
in every respect to fill the Office OF
sheriff. 1t is to be hoped that those
who have done good service to the
county by developing a healthy pub
lie sentiment regarding that of
fee will complete their good work
by voting themselves and seeing that
their friends vote for Abraham Ryer.
son for sheriff. This is duty which
they owe to the county, to themselves
and also it may be said to Mr.. Ryer'
son for their plea for a good sheriff
has aroused the antagonism of GER
tain classes whose interests do not
lie in that direction.

rocity with Cuba, or interstate com
merce. You've all seen Dewitt Gin
ton Flanagan; some of you have
heard him try to make a speech.
Just think of 1856 Dewitt Clinton
Flanagans delivering speeches in the
house of representatives. You
wouldn, t want such a house, wonld
you? Well, then, what's the use of
eleoting one such representative?

BOARD OF HEALTH OF PLAlNFlELD.

Acting upon recent report from
the chemist of the State Board of
Health, who stated that 10, 600 bacte-
ria in every twenty drops of effiuent
from the Plainfield sewer beds flow
into Greenbrook, the Borough Board
of Health has taken up enquiry about
the milk supply that is furnished the
borough by milkmen whose COWS have
access to Greenbrook
Resolutions were adopted opposing
the sale of milk in the borough from
diaries in question, lest an epidemic
of typhoid fever or other contagion
should result and the health inspect
or was instructed to report to the
Board what diaries located in the
borough have access to the brook.
The Chronicle agrees with the
Plainfield authorities that IAN ounce
of prevention" and for that reason
has urged careful oversight by our
health officials of the milk furnished
the residents of Morristown.

No ono can fail to see the wisdom
of voting for Charles N. Fowler for
reelection to Congress. In the years
that he has represented his district in
Congress he has stamped all his ex.
ecutive acts with the mark of wise
Judgment and keen sighted knowledge
of finance, which makes him a proper
man for the place. In the Judgment
of the wisest heads of the country
his views of the intricate subject of
finance are the best that have been
promulgated in this day. His long
study of the question has equipped
him as master in that science. -

BE SURE TO VOTE.

The Republicans in New Jersey
have had things pretty much their
own way in recent years. 1t was
quite right, to be sure, that they
should, for the Democrats had aban-
doned every single principle which
went to making their party respect
able. But there is a dangerous
apathy following success and it is not
at all certain that we are not in just
such danger at this moment. What
are called bye-eleotions, that is,
elections in between two where the
whole administration is put upon
trial as in presidential years are
always times of reckoning for the
party in power. Then is the time
when those who have failed in their
personal ambitions say to themselves
this is where we get even. And
there are always lot of such around.
They do not fully get even perhaps
without voting for the other party,
which when done practically makes
two votes for each so cast, as one is
taken away and one added to the op-
position.
This however, is not the entire
cause of the frequent reversal of a
great national vote i'll an off year
election. The great cause is the
apathy of those who deIude them
selves with the idea that the policy
of the government is settled once
every four years and stays settled; so
other elections are, unimportant.
They therefore stay away from the
polls and quite frequently we find a
President in the middle of his term
with hostile House of Representa-
tives to deal with. We do not believe
that this is going to happen this
time but we do believe that it is
very likely to happen if the genuine
Republicans do not take the trouble
to go to the polls to vote. This is an
off year and if the Republicans do
not sustain him and his party by
voting, President Roosevelt is sure
to be embarrassed and harrassed by a
majority of bush whacking politicians
who can agree on only one thing
and that is opposition to whatever he
proposes no matter how wise or how
patriotic.
And it will not do fol- Republicans
to excuse themselves in not doing
their duty with the idea that Dem
ocratic apathy will be a balancing
offset. Not by any means. There is
never any Democratic apathy. The
great bulk of the members of the Re-
publican party have things to do,
affairs to attend to. But the Dem
ocrats are always hungry, thirsty
too-Lungry for official loaves, thirsty
for the drink which can only be had
at the public expense.
Now is the time for the Republi-
cans to cast their full vote and we
believe that in Morris at least they
will come pretty near to doing theil
duty. If they do then we will have
the satisfaction Of being represented
in congress by a man of force and
weight, by one who cam actively as
i sist in the work that needs to be
done, and which must b done by tn,
Republican party ifiitgbe we'll done.
The nominees ferOounty offices ar,
also men Of sterling wottb and ability
and deserving Of earnest support.
