The Fidelity Trust Company has put a
proposition before the Newark Board of
Assessment which has staggered that body.
The Fidelity has a capital of 81 800, 900;
a surplus of So, 500, 900, and undivided
profits of $500, 0O0-a total value of s., 500
900. If it were taxed under the rule ordi-
narily applied to banks, it would be taxed
upon this capital and surplus, less the
mortgages, real estate, held by it, and
otherwise taxed. The company has dis
puted the right of the city to tax it on such
of its property as is represented by munich
pal bonds, stocks and securities of companies
otherwise taxed, and all other holdings,
included in the class generally described as
non-taxable securities This claim, if rec
ognized, will apply TO all banks and trust
companies in the State, and will involve
several millions of dollars of property.

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cnred

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu
Sional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infia1ned
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal cendi-
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh which il
nothing but an infiamed condition of the mt-
eog1s surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case oi Deafness {caused by catarrhJ that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

Test of New Primary Election Law.


From the New York Herald, New Jersey edition.
''The new Primary Election law is to be
brought to test before the Supreme Court
on the question of its constitutionality.
Every machine politician in the state@uho
depends on the power of money and other
Interior influences to control primaries and
nominations will hope to see the new law
upset. Every friend of pure and honest
politics in the state will hope to see it sus-
tanned.
People generally expect newspapers of
the Herald standard to be sensible, at least,
in their utterances, and not lend their
opinions to small partisan schemes. If
separate primary elections are attended
with fraud and bloodshed in the large
cities, it will occur to the average mind
that primary elections in which all people
participate will not be more pure or less bois-
ferrous. The fact is, the law commends
itself to corrupt machine politicians, be-
cause it provides additional places for
dependents and opens the county treasur-
les in new place.

The Paulsboro Public School has made
