POLITICAL STRAWS
BLOWING AROUND.

The expressions of the various lead
ers and Others. from the townships and
wards of the county, indicate that the
work of the Assembly Convention in
Millville on Thursday, is entirely sat-
lsfactory. The nominees are clean
young men and are qualified to look
after the interests of the county in
the lower House.
One OF the incidents of the Conven
tlon was the closing sentence of the
platform adopted unanimously. It
urged close association of the people
with the legislative representatives,
and candidate Buck in his model
speech of acceptance declared it to be
his Intention of visiting every part of
the county and learn, personally, the
needs and desires of the constituency
ne hopes to represent.
That is the proper spirit and it will
be largely the fault of the people if
they get legislation they object to,
Tor everyone, irrespective of party
will find that they can easily approach
either Miller or Buck, and they will
prove true servants to the people.
The Democrats will name legisla-
tive candidates but as yet there has
not been a single suggestion as to
who is being considered. In fact is
not likely that anyone has been dis
cussed by the Democratic leaders for
there is always dearth of Democratic
candidates for this position.
There is much gossip regarding the
campaign for Sheriff, but little is
materializing upon this side of the
county. There was a rumor upon the
streets that the Democrats had de-
cided they would endeavor to hold on
to the Sheriff's office and had about
concluded that Tax Collector John T.
Cornwell would be the man to turn
the trick with. The Tax Collector: s
term is out in January. His successor
will be elected at the November cleo
tion.
Millville was unanimous for the
nomination of B. Frank Buck and
yesterday there was much iublilation
EXPRESSED over there. The Millville
leaders are particularly gratified that
there was no embittered contests, and
certainly Bridgeton did it's full share
toward preserving harmony within
the party lines.
Assemblyman Moore seems to be
entirely satisfied with the situation.
He is grateful to the county for the
distinction it has given him, and he
declares it to be his purpose to stay
in politics that he may work for the
future success of the Republican party
and the aid of his friends

FAIRTON WOMAN
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

Because one of her children refused
to obey her and go to a store on an
errand, Mrs. Samuel Lee, of Fairton,
attempted suicide by swallowing a
half bottle Of laudanum.
Mrs. Lee with her husband and
four children lives on Church lane.
She seems to have had some family
troubles, and when her child Fri
day refused to obey her she was in
despair.
just little after seven o'clock she
went to cupboard, took from it a
half bottle of laudanum and drank the
entire quantity.
A little later she was discovered
unconscious and DR.. Wainwright was
called. He found the woman very
nearly dead, her heart action being
almost stopped. She could not swal-
low and her life was only saved py
hypodermic injections. Had the ply
sician been five minutes later she
would have been in eternity.
When Mrs. Lee recovered conscious
ness she declared she intended to kill
herself and would make another at
tempt.
The physician worked with her un-
til two CLOCK kSaturda ymorning before
she was entirely out of danger. When
seen.by Pioneer" reporter Saturday
morning she seemed to be entirely re-
covered. Mrs. Lee is a woman of a
little more than forty years.

PRETTY NEARLY
A SALOON RIOT,

A hot August afternoon fairly
scorched down about the corner of
Pearl and Warren streets Monday
afternoon, and for awhile there was
enough excitement in that vicinity to
cause heart trouble to an ossified man.
George Hughes was on drunk. He
was tagged in several saloons and
this seemed to SO excite him that he
was thirsting after trouble. He final
ly wound up in front of Kinkle's sa-
loon where he demanded glass of
beer. He was refused promptly and
he then started to go in the drink
shop by force. He was met by the
strong arm of somebody and received
a blow in the face that gave him a
JOLT
Constable Robert Bath was nearby
and called to the scene. He took hold
OF Hughes and was about to give him
a friendly talk and get him to go
home. Hughes did not take kindly
to this and finally Bath placed him
under arrest and he was taken to the
Justice of the Peace office of Nathan
Seller. There big crowd gathered
and while the Justice was talking to
the defendant Hughes gave dash,
turned Seller away and ran out of the
back door. He was caught after
awhile and was obliged to pay 81 so
fine and costs.
In the meantime a big fellow from
somewhere in the coal country whose
name is given as Daniel Finer was
raising trouble in the neighborhood.
He is said to have raised row in
Griner's saloon and drew a gun. 1t
is also said that he made some distur-
bance in Clark's saloon.
Finer heard of the arrest of Hughes
and he thought he ought to straighten
out the matter and he was soon in a
heated argument with Constable Bath.
He is big fellow and declared that
no two men in Bridgeton could handle
him. Finally he grappled Bath and
ripped the Constable's black silk shirt
up the bosom and went off.
A warrant was issued sfor. the fel
lows arrest and Officer Smith found
his mansdown on South Laurel street.
He did not like the way the warrant
was drawn up but finally Officers
Smith and Gaun arrested him and he
was committed to Jail in default OF
800 bail.

in recent years has there been greater
success than in that of giving scientific
aid to the farming population, thereby
showing them how most efficiently 10 help

government in the ground thus made
ready for them. The courage, the I'M
fiinching endurance, the high soldierly eff
ficiency, and the general kind-heartedness
and humanity of our troops have been
strikingly manifested. There nowsremain
only some fifteen thousand troops in the
islands. All told, over one hundred thou
sand have been sent there. OF course,
there have been individual instances of
wrongdoing among them. They varied
under fearful difficulties of climate and
surroundings; and under the strain of the
terrible provocations which they continu-
ally received from their foes, occasional
instances of cruel retaliation occurred.
Every effort has been made to prevent
such cruelties, and finally these efforts
have been completely successful. Every
effort has also been made to detect and
punish the wrongdoers. After making all
allowance for these misdeeds, it remains
true that few indeed have been the in
stances in which war has been waged by
a civilized power against semi-civilized or
barbarous forces where there has been
so little wrongdoing by the victors as in
the Philippine Islands. On the other hand,
the amount Of difficult. important, and
beneficent work which has been done is
well-nigh incalculable.

ard OF comfort. the standard OF wages
OF the American wage worker.
Reciprocity Treaties.
One way in which the readjustment
sought can be reached is by reciprocity
treaties. II Is greatly TO be desired that
such treaties may be adopted. They
can be used 20 widen our markets and to
give a greater field for the activities Of
s our producers on the one hand. and on the
other hand TO secure in practical shape
the lowering Of duties when they are no
longer needed for protection among our
own people. or when the minimum OF
damage done may be disregarded for the
sake OF the maximum OF good accomplish
ed II IL prove impossible TO ratify the
pending treaties. and II there seems TO
be no warrant for the endeavOr 10 exc
cute others, or TO amend the pending
treaties so that they can be ratified. then
the same end-to secure reciprocity
should be met BY direct legislation.
Wherever the tariff conditions are such
that a needed change cannot with adj
vantage be made by the APPLICATION Of the
reciprocity idea then il can be made out
right by a lowering OF duties on given
product II possible. such change should
be made only after the fullest consider
alton BY practical experts. who should
approach the subject from a business
standpoint having in view both the par
ticular interests affected and the CONNER
ciaI well being Of the people as whole.
The machinery for providing such care
ful investigation can readily be supplied.
The executive department has already at
fits disposal methods OF collecting facts
and figures. and II the congress desires
additional consideration TO that which VIII
be given the subject BY its own commit
tees. then a commission OF business ex-
perts can be appointed whose duty IL
should be 10 recommend action BY the
congress after a deliberate and scientific
examination OF the various schedules
as they are affected by the changed and
changing conditions. The unhurrted and
unbiased report OF this commission would
show what changes should be made in the
various schedules. and how far these
changes could go without also changing
the great prosperity which this country
Is now enjoying. or upsetting its fixed
economic policy.
More Good Than Evil.
The cases in which the tariff can pro-
duce a monopoly are so few as to con-
stitute an inconsiderable factor in the
question: but OF course II in any case ii
be found that a given rate OF duty does
promote a monopoly which works iil. no
protectionist would object TO such reduc-
ton Of the duty as would equalize COM
petition.
In my judgment. the tariff on anthra-
s cite coal should be removed. and anthra-
cite put actually. where il now Is nom
inslIy on the free list This would have
no effect at all save In crises: but in crises

Peace In Philippines.

ON July last, on the one hundred and
twenty-sixth anniversary of the declara-
ton of our independence, peace and am
nesty were promulgated In the Philip
pine Islands Some trouble has since
from time to time threatened with the
Mohammedan Moros, but with the late
insurrectionary Filipinos the war has en-
tirely ceased. Civil government has now
been introduced. Not only does each Fill
pino enjoy such rights to life liberty
and the pursuit of happiness as he has
never before known during the recorded
history of the islands, but the people
taken as a whole now enjoy a measure
Of seif-government greater than that
granted to any other Orientals by any
foreign power and greater than that en-
joyed by any other Orientals under their
own governments, save the japanese
alone. We have not gone too far In
granting these rights of liberty and self
government but we have certainly gone
tA the limit that in the interests Of the
Philippine people themselves 1t was wise
or Just to go. To hurry matters, to go
faster than we are now going, would en-
tail calamity on the people of the islands.
No policy ever entered into by the Ameri-
can people has indicated itself in more
signal manner than the policy of holding
the Philippines. The triumph Of our arms
above all the triumph of our laws and
principles, has come sooner than we had
any right TO expect. Too much praise
cannot be given to the army for what
IL has done I'm the Philippines both in
warfare and from an administrative
standpoint in preparing the way for. civil
government: and similar credit belongs
to the civil authorities for the way in
which they have planted the seeds OF self
