Alinot's tenderloin district has
been the subject Of a great deal
oftalk during the past year and
may have suggested some way
Of getting rid Of it. The indie
pendent is not in sympathy
with houses OF this nature in the
least and if we could offer any
remedy for Kidding the commun-
ity ofsuch places would gladly
do SO. They are with us. Would
you scatter them thru the bust
ness and residence portion OF
the city? By all means keep
them where they are until they
can be eradicated, if possible.
Will some one suggest some
means by which this may be
done?

Tho Tioga Gazette states
that probably Minot parties
started the report that U. s.
Commissioners cannot take
proofs only at the land Office,
hoping to reap personal benefit.
We do not believe that Minot
has a member of the bar or any
one else for that matter who
would allow such impression to
exist.

Fault Finders.

Mr.. Editor:
hi Il late issueof the "henmare
News and other county papers,
/ notice 4 tendency to find fault
with a good many things that
the republican party has done
and is doing in Ward county.
Are these "kickers" republicans?
Is their "kicking done for the
good OF the party?
Ward county has sent dele
gates after delegate to the state
convention that never did any
thing but on the other hand
would come back wearing Grape
on their hats and it is high time
for a change " Did not Mr.. Viii
son one Of the promulgators OF
the so called purity party !,
once upon q time head the dele
cation from this county to the
state convention? VIII the News
or some other party paper kind
~ publish the results OF Mr..
Wilson's achievement i'll that
conventions Is it not Il fact
Ward county has heretofore had
such IA small insignificant num-
Der OF delegates to the state con
vention, that the leaders and
slatemakers OF the state have
not deemed it necessary to take
much notice OF uso' But now
that the county OF Ward is the
banner county in the matter OF
republican majorities. our recog-
milton is self-evident. To whom
is credit due for this state of at
fairs, the present party organic
alton or the SO called purity
party? Why is there need Of
any change? Is it logic to believe
that the socalled purity party
can demand better recognition
from the state convention than
the present organization? Is it
not a fact that most of the lead
ers of the so-called purity party
supported the democratic nomi-
nee two years ago? These facts
being known all over the state,
is it reasonable to believe that
these leaders mean to demand
state recognition? How many
will believe that this demand is
anything but ''blind' to land
something else? Will not the
leaders Of the so-called purity
party consider ample 'purifica-
ton" if some OF them can land a
s:plum''?? Sheriff's Office for in
stance? Purifying politics is al
ways commendable act when
sufficient reason exists, but the
Bible teaches us that if one devil
is chased out there is a chance
that seven others will take his
place and the last. worse than
the first. A little thinking on
this subject will not do anyone
but good, The voters not the
politicians hold the situation

Another Fire.

Vineland, N. j., February 49,
Victor Durand's glass tube works
burst suddenly into fame last night
and were consumed with about $15, 900
worth OF stock, some of whichsswas on
the cars ready for shipment. The
loss. outside of insurance, is about
$50, 900.
The two watchmen at the plant
were absent for few minutes, when
theafire started. presumably from the
flow of hot glass from a broken pot.
Theg flames spread to the loaded cars
on the siding. When the brakes were
burned loose the'car dashed down an
incline toward the bottle works near
by, and for a time threatened to set
them on fire.
The Durand factory was built two
years ago and was one Of the most
substantial in South Jersey. 1t has
been in operationathe year.around, ex-
cept for month in the summer.
More than 100 hands are.thrown out
of employment. Part of the bottle
factory will be converted Immediately
into a tube shop so as to fill orders.
The works will be rebuilt.

Talk of Candidates.

The Camden Telegram on Saturday
printed the. following paragraph:
"The Congressional bee is buzzing
in the bonnet of Assembly Harry
Scovel. The popular lawyer legislator
and all round good fellow, has not yet
announced that he is candidate for
the place, but it is known that Harry
would like to fill Congressman Loud
enslager's shoes and if there is to be
any change Mr.. Scovel wants to be
considered.
''No one doubts but that Mr. Scovel
would make a good Representative
and would guard the interests of the
district ina Jealous manner. His SER
vice in the Legislature fits him in
many ways for the higher honors and
his friends say the advancement would
be a recognition of his valuable service
to the Republican party.
Former Assemblyman Ephraim 7.
Gill, Of Center township, also has
Congressional ambitions and of late
has been doing considerable looking
around to see how the land lays. Mr..
Gill was an able Assemblyman and is
confident that he would be of equal
value in the National House of Rep
resentatives.

MORE AND MORE
LIKE GOV, STOKES.
(staff Correspondence for the "Pioneer. "

OF the leading Repu blicans through
out the State of New Jersey there, is
but one who has but little to say re
garding the successor to Governor
Franklin Murphy. That particular
individual is Hon. Edward O. Stokes,
Of Millville, former Senator of Gum
berland county, and one of the lead
ing men of New Jersey affairs. Sen
ator Stokes, as everybody calls him
Senator, is one of the busiest men in
the State. He is constantly engaged,
and always with matters of moment.
But if anybody hears him talking
about the next Governor, he must en-
joy very close and confding in
timacy
But all other leading statesmen and
politicians are discussing that one
subject. With them the gubernatorial
question is the chief topic of oonver.
sation. From Bergen to Cape May.
the Republicans who come to Trenton
have something to say regarding the
matter.
William M. Johnson, of Bergen. has
been talked abont as Gubernatoral
candidate. He has also been discussed
for the Congressional nomination for
his county. There are those who
should know what they are talking
about. when they declare positively
that he will not permit his name to
be used in either connection. Just at
this time Mr.. johnson is paying espe-
cial attention to his health which is
far from being good. No other name
than his and that of Senator Stokes is
ever suggested. The latter is upon
the lips of every man who comes to
the capital, and they tell of constitu-
encies that are practically unanimous
for the Cumberland man. A man
from Hudson county the other day.

didate for Governor and was for
Stokes One of the leading Camden
county Republicans says openly that
Stokes will be nom mated. He goes
further and stakes his political repu-
tation upon the prediction that no
name other than thas of Stokes will
be pressntedsin the Republican State
Convention, and that the Millville
man will be named by acclamation.
From every county Of consequence
the most astute Republican Leaders
bring to Trenton the Stokes senti-
breathed and talked about by every
BODY. The Democrats concede that
Stokes will be named, ssand they do not
have the7courage of suggesting that it
will be possible to make successful
fight against him. 1t is a fact that
Governor Murphy is impressed with
the idea that Stokes will succeed him.
and has more than once intimated
that matters were so shaping them
selves as to make that representation
practically clear.
1t is further asserted by everyone
that as Governor. Stokes vii. make
model executive. There is not in the
State. it is observed, a man who has
been such a close and able student of
State affairs. He has left his impress
upon the able and beneficent legisla-
tion of the past ten years. He has led
many reforms Of anFimportsnt charac-
ters, redounding to the credit of the
commonwealth.
