There was q voter in the State of
New Jersey at the recent election who
did not wish to vote for The candidate
for cor gress. The election board in
his district discovered a ticket with
the name OF the congressman crossed
off, and over it was written "The
Devil" The election board decided
that the ballot vas n marked ballot
and as such it was thrown out. The
individual, therefore, lost his vote in
attempting to show his pique against
the congressman.

WANT MONUMENT
FOR PRINCETON.
Congressman Wood Aft-r an Ap-
priation of $4,000 = Other
Jersey Matters at Washington.

Washington, d. g., Dec. 14:-Passed
by the senate in three different con-
crosses the hill providing for an ap-
preparation of $50, 000 in aid of a battle
monument at Princeton, has suffered
all kind of vicissitudes and finally
died in the House Of Representatives
the house of Its friends-the renre.
sentatives of the people, strange as it
may seem. What was true oil nrs v;ous
congresses is true in the ffty-eighth
congress. and if Representative Wood
with the aid of his colleagues from
Now Jersey, can get the bill through
this winter he will have the conscious.
ness of having performed a signal ser.
vice for the State.
In the report made by Mr.. MoCleary
from the committee on library tile
re recommendation is made that the hill
PASS. II is stated that the $50 600
shall not be available until a like
sum shall be raised by the Princeton
Battle Monument Association, and it
il also provided that the design for
the monument shall be approved by
the secretary of war. Just what effect
the intention of the managers of the
honse to keep down all appropriations
will have on the fate of the bill re-
mains to be seen. It is true $50, 00O
is not much to ask for and vet if q
sufficient number of such appropria-
tions are made the aggregate amounts
to something.
Mr.. Wood is still witlout o com
mittee assignment, and there is no
way in which his probable assignment
can be known, until Speaker Cannon
makes the announcement. 1t is under
stood that some of the older members
have asked to be assigned to the va
canoies made by the resignation OF
Judge tanning, and it is possible Mr..
Wood may get an assignment to a
minor committee for the present Sos
sion of congress, Essand then be better
taken care of next year.
That the bitter fight which threat
