REMEMBER the roads. The cold
weather has taken off the curse some.
but remember that the time is coming
when the roads will be in shape to fix
and then let US fix them, village or city
government, it matters not which. We
have spent money for fixing them in
the past and we can do it again in the
future, only the next time let us see il
we cannot do a better job. A travelling
man remarked the other day that
Princeton had the worst streets of any
place he visited. -

PROF. LYONS of the Northwestern
University Of Chicago, has discovered
that sodium and calcium will restore
heart beats to normal rhythm and
strength. Experiments have been
made on both cold .blooded and warm
blooded animals, that have been al
lowed to become in a condition where
life was almost extinct, and then given
the salt treatment with beneficial ef-
feet. The discovery will be of little
use, however, where a person is not in
a healthy condition, though it might
be used to prolong life short time.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT will ,send5to
the senate as soon as it convenes the
name Of Mr.. Crum, a very prominent
and educated negro. as collector of the
port OF Charleston, S. c. This will be
an awful blow to the "white trash'' of
the South. 1t is said to be the inten-
ton of he president to recognize the
political rights of the colored race in
the port where was fired the first gun
OF the Civil war, and in doing this the
Republican administration proposes
to put beyond all dispute or misunder-
standing it's policy in this regard.

UNDER the generous provisions of
the timber and stone act the western
forests are being taken possession of
at such an alarming rate that Secre-
tary of the Interior Hitchcock has been
obliged in great many cases to sus-
pend action on entries and question the
good faith of the parties who are tax
ing up the land. The object of the law
was all right, but special agents of the
government have discovered that pri-
vate parties working in the interests
OF big lumber companies are grabbing
all the good claims in sight. Under
the stone and timber act any person
can go into a public land Office and &C.
quire title to 100 acres of fine timber
land by paying the sum of $3.50 an.
acre, and the usual fees and commits
sions, and also by making affidavit that
he or she is entering the land in good
faith for his or her own Individual use,
A suit is already pending in Montana
against Senator Clark for the recovery
of title to many thousands of acres of
valuable timber land which it is
claimed has been gained by fraudulent
entries. The secretary of the interior
has already withdrawn several thou
sand acres of valuable forest land in
northern California as forest reserve,
and will probably hold for the govern
ment and posterity several thousand
more acres. Land sharks and thieves
have secured the greater portions of
the valuable timber land of the east
and middle west and unless the govern
ment adopts vigorous measures it will
not be long before all the great forests
OF the Pacific coast disappear in the
same manner. There is at present a
bill pending in congress for the amend
ing of the stone and timber act, and
Secretary Hitchcock will deal with the
matter in his forthcoming report. Our
forests have disappeared by a system
of jobbing and robbing and it is almost
time to call halt. Private individ-
uals acting in good faith and who want
a timber tract had better hurry up be-
fore the law is changed.

THE two highwaymen and murderers,
Haakensen and Nystedt, of Minneapo-
lis, who waylaid and murdered their
victims in Prospect Park, are dare
devils of the first water. It hardly
seems possible that they could have
developed such murderous instincts.
The more sensible view to take of the
matter is that the devilish instinct was
born in them. Environment and COM
pany has much to do in shaping and
molding such awful characters, but
hereditary tendencies have much more
to do with suoh lives than most people
think. Then the victims of these lads
were not travelling safe paths, or they
would not have met the fate they did.

THE coal strike commission is at
work taking testimony and President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers has been on the stand for sew
eral days telling what he knows and
giving his views of the strike. Wayne
MacVeagh, representing the Erie road,
was examining Mitchell last Monday
and tried hard to get the cool-headed
man ratified and angry, but he failed
in the attempt. In speaking of a pos
sible contract between the mine work.
ers and the operators Mitchell said
that if the miners violated the contract
the people of the country would take
good care that there was nothing of
the union left, and on the other hand.
if the operators violated it the people
of the United States would take good
care to see that the operators regretted
it. Mr.. Mitchell remarked that this
was a country of majorities, where
upon the attorney remarked, Eyes,
but God with one is a majority. II a
man is doing right He is on his side. y
When Mitchell quickly replied that he
would willingly leave the whole dispute
with God the spectators became con-
vulsed with laughter. Mitchell is no
fool.

man next in line in front Of her.
She said this man had IL weighed
and purchased stamps. In his hand
ling the box the address was plainly
visible to her. lie was not Molineux,
she said.
Three days after the death of Mrs.
Adams was known and the Cornish
package was being discussed the wo-
man is alleged to have told her hus-
band of what she saw.
He laughed at her, but, to prove
her story, she sent west for the pack.
age she mailed when at the postoffioe
and the postmark thereon was within
a few minutes Of the time marked on
the Cornish package.
Not only was the man who mailed
the Cornish package, she says, not
Molineux, but she has pointed out an
other member Of the late Knioker-
booker Athletic club Is the man who
mailed IT,
She went to Molineux's lawyers and
made oath to these facts nearly four
years ago. so the story goes. These
lawyers refuse TO discuss the affidavit,
taking particular care not to deny 1t.
The other witness in waiting is a
Newark man who swesrs that, while
acting as . private detective in 8 drug
store he sold to man with red beard
Van Dyke cut, bottle Of bromo seltzer,
and, on the next day, saw this same
man come from the department store

valid, and must be paid. Also that
the city must pay the interest on them
and the interest on the interest. This

city to attempt to escape Its Just
debts, which debts all good citizens
desire paid. Last night it was report

question already settled by Judge
Evans. Il is futile for the city to

must be paid, and that judgment has
been accepted by the city. 1t is un-
reasonable to expect the holders of
the bonds to give up the money due
them as compound interest. They are
entitled to il, and good business men

it and spare the city any more law
