Gustav Wittemeyer, of Morristnwn,
is somewhat different from the general
run of street advertising agents, but
none too wise. He came in town yes
terday todistribute full sheet circulars
(he called them handbiRSl, advertising
the great inducements of a new firm
that had come to Mornistown to sell
clothing so cheap that the inducements
of the established clothiegs there would
pale into insignificance. lie didn't pass
the bills himself coAOred lad did
that; GuStay,op saw to it that they
were put out properly.
Before doing so, however, he didn't
look up the bill-poster t@cobtain a Ii
cense. Neither was he careful of the
careless manneriR which his dark as
sistant threw the flaring bills about
the street. In fact, he WAS taking
things as they came when he,waS ac-
cested by Constable Scudder, who, on
learning that he had no license, took
Wittemeyer before Justice Gage, who
imposed a fine and costs. Wittemeyer
.saiS he didn't have but u cents and
that the Justice would have t0geollect
from the firm. Hisfhonor replied that
as he didn't knOwtbe firm frOma flock

phone into use and his firm said;they

COUNTING UNCLE SANS ARMY

Washington, D. c., Oct ia cere-
mony unique in the annals of the ar
my was held this morning at every
military station under control of the
United States government At exact
ly 9 O'Clock, at every station in Porto
Rico, Cuba, the United States, Alas
ka, Hawaii and the Philippines, all
the troops in garrison were paraded
and, under the eye Of the command
ing officer each troop and company
commander counted his men indivij-
ually. These totals were forwarded
to Washington by each commanding
officer.
The reason for this unique census
is to give the war department the lat
est exact figures for the purpose of
Incorporating them in the annual re-
port of the chief of staff. Nothing
of the kind has ever been done be-
fore in the army. AS the returns
were sent to Washington by cable
and telegraph the cost will be enor-
nous, but the department believes
is justified.

ton for an indefinite duration, which
is contested in the case. The children
must not only fed and clothed and
sheltered, but to some extent educat-
ed. By this small appropriation alone
the county may be relieved for many
years from this accumulated burden
at less cost than the expense for the
tutelage alone for only one year.
Then why had not the county court
ofclaims power to adopt this so much
cheaper mode Of providing for the
poor orphans Of the county? Posi-
bility of abuse is no argument against
the power; but there is no apparent
danger of abuse The limitations on
taxation, and the honor, pledges, and
responsibility of the lady managers,
are alone sufficient guaranty of fidel-
ity in making and applying the appro-
the county that the fund will be faith
fully applied, as expressly dedicated
to the asylum, and if not so applied
the managers would be personally re-
sponsible for reimbursement.
While the county court has no au-
thority to give away the money Of the
county, or to appropriate it even, to
general charities, it certainly has
power to apply it as necessary and
proper means to the end of its en-
Joined duties; and, in so using it.
its power is circumscribed only by
a sound discretion within the scope
of the limited range of taxation. Ac-
cording to this test it might have
built and maintained an asylum for
poor orphans, and consequently might
rightly contribute as it did, mOdi-
cum to aid the institution in extend
ing the building so as to accommodate
larger portion Of the poor of the
county, and who would not be other
wise cared for as we'll or at all.
In that way ana to that extent it
makes the orphon society it's agent
which it could do as certainly and
lawfully without controlling or par
ticipating in the management of the
institution; satisfied, as it could be,
that the management will be as faith
full and benefcient without its con-
troll as with it, and contribute as
much to the welfare of the poor Or
phans of the county.
It is therefore the opinion Of this
court that the appropriation of $500
to aid in paying for the enlarged
house was legal, and that the applica-
ton of the money to the purpose to
which it is dedicated is sufficiently
assured; and consequently we ad-
Judge that the circuit court erred in
enjoining payment.
Wherefore Judge Harding dissent
ing) the judgment enjoining the pay
ment of the money as appropriated is
reversed, and the cause remanded,
with instructions to dismiss the Pc
tition in the name of the county.

FATE OF ZIONISM.
What Is Said of the Scheme of
Jewish Colony in East Africa.

New York, Oct. 13.-The Cosmopoli-
tan has received the following letter
from j. Haas:
Another storm has broken over the
devoted heads Of the Zionists. 1t re-
quired but this short perspective of
time and distance from the sixth con-
gress to realize the difficulties of Jew
ish politics. The East African scheme
which Dr. Herzl produced as a coup
de main at Basic has certainly light
ened the hearts of the most heavy
laden element in Jewry The East
End of London which voices the silent
Russian masses, through it's kinship
has acclaimed the action of the Brit
ish government and sworn renewed
fealty to the Zionist leader.
But against this has arisen the
wrath of East Africans who do not
wish to see the pick Of the protector
ate go to ''alien" Jews, the sneers of
men of the Arnold White type, and
the opposition of some leading English
Jews who seem to fear that the Gre
alton of a Jewish communality even
in East Africa might affect their posi-
ton in England
This is not the kind Of thing to
make the Zionists "afeard' as the
Scots have it. They have fought
through many such battles, but the flu
ture of the East African plan depends
hot ;ct-
wish or will, as perhaps upon the ex-
Tstence of the present government
which is being assailed upon all sides
for its war office failure and its fiscal
policy. What a curious thread is that
Of Jewish affairs that may be cut by
shears intended to sever the political
life of those who, except in this in
stance, have had but very little to do
with the Jews. Chamberlain routed
on the fiscal policy; Landsdowne fore
ed to resign over the war scandal
and the possible new opening for sur
plus Jewry closes.
But after all, this is the second
string to the Zionist bow East Africa
has in sense already served its pur-
pose. To the Zionists it means re
cognition; to the Jews at large admis-
sion as a political element in the con.
| fraternity of nations-half the politi-
cal battle. 1t has made that scare
heading which is a necessity to every
| modern movement. The first string
after all, remains Zion. "Israel is not
to end in an African swamp" say the
anti-Zionists. Opposition to the new
plan will enlarge the ranks. The nu-
merical constituency of the congress
has already, in anticipation risen
from 100 to 200. So then the main
movement will grow and the immedf-
ate future holds out the prospect of
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-10-15

such popular power for the Zionist
leaders as was never held by Jews be-
fore. And Zion must come. George
Eliat's Buffer State of Palestine
lies within the throw of the dice now,
for Russian publicity declares that
she is SO anxious to get rid of her
Jews. and there are 100000 of them,
that she willingly comedies in favor
of such radiance all her claims to
Palestine. The eastern position thus
stands-as though indeed 'the stars in
their courses are fighting for Israel"
With Russia, which includes France,
helping and England at least benevo-
lently neutral, it will require no ex-
ceeding political genius to carry out
a negotiation by which Palestine be-
comes the neutralized dwelling place
of Israel. The throw of the dice
means the hour. Russia has femi-
nine habit of "unsaying," so that a
shrewd man like DR.. Herzl recognizes
that he must strike while the iron is
hot" on the other hand, it is only
from Constantinople that one could
know whether or not the Macedonian
imbroglio presents the real opportun-
ity.
The inner side of diplomacy can
not be Strengthened out like a thin
wire, but so much is clear-the i'm
mediate outlook of Zionism is roseate
This handful of 1896 may oblige Rus
STA by Kidding her of her Jews, or try
ing to; they have obliged England
by offering an answer to the alien
commissions report, and they may
again ablige that great power by with
drawing from the East African plan
should the situation prove too difficult
for the English government
This is indeed putting the Jewish
situation in a serious light. This is
what the Zionist sought to accom-;
plish; it was the first card played in
a grim, sensational game for destiny;
they have played it and they have
won. Very few of us, perhaps, mag
inc that Zion would be restored out of
such happenings, described in such
phrases, but then very few of us ever
thought seriously how the vision was
to be brought down to the cold realm
of fact.
