Chancellor M,Gilps Prophecy.

Nearly ten years ago the late Chancellor
M'Gill rendered his decision in the suit to
enioin the Reading railroad from leasing
the Central railroad with a view to COM
bine to control the output of anthracite
coal bill to legalize the lease had been
passed by the New Jersey Legislature, and
vetoed by Governor Albeit, who then in
structed Attorney-General Stockton to
bring the suit in the Chancery Court. The
opinion by Chancellor M'Gill put an end
to the combine at that time, and what the
Chancellor said has a peculiar interest
under present circumstances. In granting
the injunction NIGH said
"The commodity in which these com
panies deal is necessity OF life IN this
state 1t is the principal fuel of its homes.
rhe slightest increase in its price is felt by
IA population of hundreds of thousands of
persons for their necessity compels them
to paw that increase. If once a complete
monopoly be established by the destruction
of competition, whether that be through
lease or cooperation the promoters of it
may have whatever price their cupidlty
suggests. The disaster which will follow
cannot be measured; it will permeate the
entire mmunity-furnaces, factories and
DEMONSTRATING in its trail murmurs of dis
content with government which will toll
crate it, and all the other evils of oppres-
sion."
Prophetic words of warning altogether
unheeded; a warning that has come home
to the people. The monopoly is firmly es-
tablished through the connivance of our
lawmakers, and the coal operators get
whatever price their cupidity suggests.
The effects of that cupidity and of the ar
,ogance of the operators get whatever price
their cupidity suggests The effects of that
cupidity and of the arrogance of the opera
tors 'permeate the entire community
furnaces FORCES, factories and homes, /" and
there are loud "murmurs of discomfort
with government which will tolerate it,
and all the other evils of oppression" The
mischief apprehended by the wise and
austere Chancellor has come. How shall it
be undone?

Congressman Loudenslager's literary
bureau at Washington has sent out re-
port that Mr. L., If elected, will be in line
to succeed Speaker Henderson, who has re-
signed. A Washington correspondent says
ssthe statement is not taken seriously any,
where. On the contrary, it is considered
likely that the mentioning of Louden-
slayer has been prompted by some of his
astute political associates in the hope that
it will thereby aid him in his fight in the
First district.
'sDuring his career in Congress Mr.. Lou
denslaper has succeeded in gaining for him
self considerable influence, but it has been
made as lobbyist and not on the floor of
the house"
Heretofore there has been a good deal of
mystery as to how Loudenslager gained his
apparent prominence at Washington, but it
is out now. He is lobbyist, one of the
yulturers who influences legislation by
WAYS that are dark and tricks that honest
men avoid.

Richard t. Miller.
From die Press 81 the District.

- ~@to'A@~s.1
The Democratic party in this Congress
sional District never so deserved success as
it does this year, for it never nominated "a
candidate so well fitted by talent and ex-
perience to fill the position of representa-
tive. Judge Richard T. Miller is known
and loved throughout the State for his
genial disposition and for his ability in his
profession. He comes of good stock, his
father, the late Hon. Walters B. Miller,
being representative of one of the oldest
families in New Jersey and being promi-
nent his entire life in State affairs. Judge
Miller began to be called to official posi-
tons soon after his admission to the bar in
1870. He has served as City Solicitor of
Cape May, as District Court Judge of the
City of Camden, as Prosecutor of the Pleas
Of Cape May County, as President of the
Court of Common Pleas of Camden County,
and when the new Circuit Court was estab-
lished in this State, to relieve the over
worked Justices of the Supreme Court,
GOV. Werts appointed him as one of its
first Judges and he served his term to the
entire satisfaction of litigants and attorneys
who practised before him. In private life
he is one of the finest of men, and no one
is more warmly welcomed in every circle
than he is He would make representa-
tive of whom everyone in the district
would be intensely proud

simultaneously with the announcement
which reached Washington from the con-
ference held at Oyster Bay last week,
that the President would advocate
no changes in the tariff schedules and
would denounce the Democratic position,
and that formerly held by Chairman Bah
cock, and still held by many Iowa and
other Western Republicans, came the
announcement from Illinois that Senator
Cullon had addressed large audience at
Carthage, and had stated that the time for
tariff revision was at hand. "While be-
lieve in protective tariff, y said the Sena-
tar, II do not believe in holding onto a
high protective tariff longer than is neces-
sary in the interests of the business and
labor of our country. In my Judgment,
the. time has come when reductions ought
to be made in many instances" The CON
ffiicting statements of the Republican
leaders and Senator Cullom, who is re-
garded as a power in Illinois, caused con-
sternation in Republican circles and i'm
mediately the wires were hot with messages
begging Mr.. Cullom to suppress such heret-
ical belief in the future. Whether he will
consent to suppress his views in order to
keen I'D the pretense of a harmonious
party, however, remains to be seen.

In his efforts to fool the people on the
Trust question, President Roosevelt is get
ting as round as an apple. His original
scheme to that end was publicity, then a
constitutional amendment, now a special
commission of investigation. In the mean
time the people will all be frozen stiff as
mummies. If the President was honest
about his Trust cures, and had an honest
congress at his back, an extra session to
reduce or wipe out the tariff on Trust COM
modities would have been called long ago.
If the people have doubts about the honesty
of their present Congressman, the time to
effect change is only four weeks distant.
And be assured, suffering reader, change
in Congressman will be an eye opener that
will produce immediate results.

Alcyon Lake that tipped the scales at four
pounds and two ounces.
Quite an excitement was caused on We'd
nesday evening Of last week by the report
that the negro assailants Of Geo. Magee, of
near Blackwood, were in town.
DIR. Phillips was foresighted enough to
purchase his coal Of Job Scott, Mantua,
some time since, and had it stored in his
recently purchased house.
Speaking of coal, John Warren is the
lucky man of the town, as he purchased a
large carload last year and has about 25
tons stored in his cellar. AS he will not
need it all we imagine he will become a
dealer in black diamonds before Spring.
The new M E. Church bell was placed
in the tower on Saturday. The inscription
reads: Presented to the Pitman Grove NJ E.

The spacious Lefevre home was taxed to
its utmost on Wednesday evening of last
week, when the eldest daughter, Miss
Maude, and Mr.. Russell Treat, our popular

of Philadelphia and the best man, Mr..
Horace Griffith, also of Philadelphia. The
house was prettily decorated in yellow.
The bride was dressed in white silk mousse
line and the groom in evening dress. All of
the guests accompanied them to the station
and, amid shower of rice, they took their
seats in the special car provided for them.
The car had been appropriately decorated
by railroad men. They proceeded to Mag

home yesterday, Wednesday.

The Democracy of the First Congress
sional District of New Jersey on Wednes-
day last nominated Judge Richard T..
Miller, of this City, as the Democratic
opponent of Harry Loudenslager. The
nomination of Richard T. Miller is a mag
nifcent assertion of the possibilities of the
party in South Jersey and augers in adj
vance spirited contest that, taken in con-
nection with the discord in the Republican
ranks, is almost certain of resulting in
Judge Miller's election and Mr.. Louden-
trict so thoroughly enjoys the confidence O.
all the people, Democrats and Republicans
alike. Indeed, we greatly doubt if citi
zen in the entire State could have been
named who surpasses Judge Miller in
character, attachments, knowledge of the
fundamental principles of statecraft or de-
votion to the doctrines of Democracy. The
hold he has upon public regard and esteem
was fully demonstrated but a short time
ago, when, his term as Circuit Judge hav-
ing expired, Republican lawyers joined
with their Democratic brethren in re-
quest for his reappointment. Judge Miller
is trustworthy; that everybody thoroughly
realizes. He always has possessed and will
possess and express in future with marvel
Gus straightforwardness, the courage of his
truest convictions That he will be the
next Congressman from the First New Jer-
sey District we believe and confidently
hope. Camden Dem.

That very respectable portion of the
Republican party is coming to the Demo-

Republicans which declares for such "a
modification of the tariff schedules as may
be required to prevent their affording shell
