ARE THERE TWO SIDES?

It is contende by sone per
sons that there are two sides to
the liquor ques lion as it now eN-
lists in Jenning :. Ii is said by
some Of our most res pocted citi-
zens that three open saloons each
paying the city q license OF 81, 600
or 1900 a year and operating
under restrictions by the coun-
Gil, would not be as harmful to
our youth as the six blind tigers
now ruuulne, where boys are al
TO drink.
There is certainly but one side
to the prohi bition question When
a prohibition law is enforced, as
most fair minded people will ad-
nit that liquor is curse, but
when a prohibition law tails to
prohibit, then there may possibly
be two sides to the quest iol., and
the editor of the RECORD is
puzzled, and has decided 10
allow expressions Of opinion On
this all absorbing question:, not
as to whether saloons are good r
bad, but us TO whether the open
saloon would be better than The
bliuu tigels as they are existing
IN jennings.

MISS LYDIA E. HUNTER

After an illness covering period
of some years, Miss Lydia E. Hunter
passed away on Sunday afternoon in
the rand year of her age. Miss Hunt
er with her sister, Miss M. @. came
to Morristown nearly third of a
century ago, from the South. For
many years, she conducted in connec-
tion with her sister, select family
boarding house on Court street, after
ward removing to the Hunter House"
on South street which was destroyed
by fire in 1882; she afterwards purchas-
ed the properties on Washington street,
below the Baptist Church. Miss
Hunter had large circle of friends
who mourn her death. The funeral
services were held from the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. ". Van Wagenen
Miller road, on Tuesday afternoon,
the Rev. DR.. Erdman, pastor of the
South Street Presbyterian Church, of
which Miss Hunter had long been a
consistent member, officiating. In
torment was made in Greenwood

FAVoRS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The bill providing for the substitu-
tion of county commissioners in place
of boards of freeholders passed both
houses of the Legislature. 1t contains
a referendum clause, however, hence
before Morris county can avail itself
of the provision of the new law the
voters of the county will have to de-
clare in its favor. That a commission
of five men of the right calibre will
better administer the affairs of N orris
County than a board composed of
twenty-five members must be a self
evident proposition to all who have
observed the workings, of the average
board of Notwithstanding of
course, the freeholders themselves.
Should such county commissioners
not measure up to an acceptable stand
ard, as may, at times, prove to be the
case, responsibility for their acts will
be more easily placed than would be
the case should board composed of
twenty-five freeholders do things
that do not eonduoe to the public
good. The Era trusts that the voters
of Morris county will take this mat
ter under advisement and that an
early opportunity. may be afforded them
to vote on the acceptance or rejection
of the county commission plan. -

WEEKLY WAGES IN NEW JERSEY.

An interesting classification OF
wages is contained IN the report of
the Bureau of the Industrial interests
of the State just issued.
The relative value OF male and fe-
male labor in the various industries
included in the report is shown by
the fact that 70 per cent. of the total
number of females employed are paid
less than 81 per week, while similar
rates are paid to only "a per cent. of
the total number of males. AS the
rates of wages advance the number
of males receiving them increases
while the number of females become
less in the higher rates, those who
receive more than $12 per week being
only little more than per cent. of
the total.
The figures taken from the report
are given below, show the number of
males and females receiving different
weekly wages, and percentage in each
class to the total:

LAST RITES FOR RHODES.
Remains of the Famous EnElishman
Rest In Rock Hevyn Tomb.


BULAWAYO, Matabeleland, April II.
Amid an immense throng of soldiers,
civilians and natives the body of Cecil
Rhodes was committed to its rock tomb
in the Matoppo hills. The coffin was
shrouded in union jack, and the
wreath sent by Queen Alexandra was
laid upon it as it was lowered into the
grave.
The funeral party started from Full
ler's hotel early. in the morning. The
procession was five miles long as it
wound through the hills and gorges.
Every sort of conveyance was made
use of. Some were ON foot, others were
on horseback or on bicycles, while still
others were in wagons and carriages.
When the procession was mile from
the grave, everybody dismounted and
concluded the journey on foot. Twelve
oxen hauled the coffin to the almost in
accessible summit of the kopje, where
the chiefs Shembli, Faku and Umgula
and 1000 natives had assembled to
witness the Christian interment rites,
which they afterward supplemented in
their own fashion by the sacrifice of
fifteen oxen to the shade of the great
dead chief.
Thousands of white persons congre-
gated around the wind swept hill. The
grave was encircled by six powders
The interment was extremely impress
sive The dead march echoed through
the hills, and the natives stood like
statues. Tears were in the eyes of
many of the onlookers. The bishop of
Mashonaland, who conducted the in
terment service, said:
81 consecrate this place forever.
Here he thought, here he lived and
died for the empire"
| When the coffin was lowered into the
| tomb chiseled in the solid rock, all
those present sang "Old Hundred and
Now the Laborer's Task Is Ger" The
remainder of the funeral service was
chanted, and the band played the
dead march in Saul" The tomb was
covered with wreaths.
At the close of the ceremony those
present slowly inspected the spot where
Mr., Rhodes lies buried and threw flow
ers upon his grave.

The will of Cecil John Rhodes, is a
remarkable document and of much
interest to the American people. In
it he provides for two scholarships at
Oxford University, England, for each
of the states and territories of the
United States, thus affording an op-
portunity for one hundred young
Americans to take course at the
famJu university. Mr.. Rhodes mo-
tive for this bequest, as explained in
codicil, is "for a good understand
ing between England, Germany (for
which he provided five scholarships
at Oxford). and the United States
will secure the peace of the world
and educational relations form the
strongest tie. " A union of the Eng
lish speaking peoples throughout the
world, he believed, would be of great
advantage, and the education of
American youth at Oxford encour-
age an attachment to the country
from which they sprung, without, he
hopes, withdrawing them or their
sympathies from the land of their
adoption or birth. There is no room
to doubt that if his scheme is put in
practical operation, the influences
born of it would rebound to the peace
of the world

ATTEND REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

The call for Republican ward pri-
aldermen to be voted for at the char
ter election on May 9th next appears
at the head of this column. The
terms of Mayor Fox, who was elected
on the Republican ticket two years
ago, Alderman Burke, Democrat, First
Ward; Alderman G. Edward Reeve,
Democrat, Second Ward; Alderman
Grove, Republican, Third Ward; and
Alderman BELLY, Democrat, Fourth
Ward, epxire next month. The hold
overs are: Messrs. Hurting, Republi-
can, First Ward, Karn, Democrat,
Second Ward; Tompkins, Republican,
Third Ward and Crane, Democrat,
Fourth Ward.
With the sewerage problem to be
taken up by the Aldermen at an early
date, probably the most important
matter that has ever come before that
Board, and the consideration of
various franchises which may be ask.
ed for, it goes without saying that
only representative men should be
elected to this important Office. With
a full attendance at the primaries
there should be no difficulty in nomi-
mating men in every way we'll quail
fed to discharge the important func-
tions connected with our local gov
eminent.

THE DAY IN CONGRESS.
Feature1ess Debate on Cuban Relief.
House Passes Postal Bill.

House Passes Postal Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE de-
bate on the Cuban reciprocity bill in
the house yesterday was devoid of en-
livening features. The most notable
speech of the day was made by Mr..
Grosvenor (O9. He answered the crit
les who have charged him with incon-
sistency by saying that reciprocity was
sound Republican doctrine and that
tariff schedules were not sacred. He
predicted that the time would come, al
though it had not yet arrived, when
there would be an memorable demand
for revision of the present rates. Mr..
Prince 0ll) made a strong speech
against the measure. The other speak
ers were Messrs. Lawrence (Mass.) and
Miers Qnd) for the bill and Messrs.
Weeks (Mich.) and Kleberg (Tex.)
against it.
An effort was made late in the day
in the senate to obtain an agreement
for a vote on the Chinese exclusion bill,
but it was unsuccessful. The indica-
lions now are that the vote will be tax
en- next Tuesday. The measure was I'M
der discussion during the entire session
yesterday except for about an hour, In
which time the postoffice appropriation
bill was considered and passed. Three
speeches were made against the Chi
nese bill in it's present form. Early in
the session Mr.. Depew On. W spoke
briefly against the adoption of the reso-
linton nroViding for the election of SEN
ators by popular vote.
