SENATOR QUAY.

The death of Senator Quay, of
Pennsylvania, removes from Re-
publican politics man who has
played a leading part in party
councils for many years-almost
since the close of the Civil War.
He entered politics as soon as he
came out of the army, in 1865,
and from that time until his
death, was never out Of political
harness. His political methods
have often been questioned, yet
the fact remains that he was one
of the most successful of Ameri-
can politicians of his time. His
sway in Pennsylvania was COM
plete and unquestioned. His
word was law, with the party
machine, and he made and un-
made public officials at will. In
national party councils, also, he
was power, on account of his
shrewd judgement of men and
deep insight into the working of
practical politics. Senator
Quay was not a statesman; he
was purely and simply a politi-
clan. AS such he will be missed
by his party.

Russians are charging the Japs
with maltreating the dead, and
the Japs are proving the Rus
sian soldiers are assaulting wo-
men and children. On the
whole, it may be said that war is
really a bad and demoralizing
thing, and that those who resort
to it are not to be expected to
employ Sunday school methods
in attaining their purposes, and
because of this fact civilization is
looking forward to the time when
there will be no wars.

says: THE only hope for the
preservation of genuine republi-

States lies in the Democratic par
ty. Every time the Republicans
find an opportunity to strike a
blow at the rights of the states
they do so and thus undermine
the very foundations of our sys-
tenn of government. The hope
for the perpetuation of our iber-
ties lies in Democratic supreme
cy and all Democrats should see
it and act on that knowledge"

Mr.. EDITOR:
Dear Strive see in the ''Penn's
Grove Record of Jan. LIST, 1904, and the
philadelphia Record" of Jan. 8, 1904, a
notice referring to fshermen's permits,
and ordering no arrests for fishing for
carp, etc.. 1t strikes us very forcibly that
the fishermen should remember that
Senator James Strimple, of Salem Co.,
personally, on the 10Th of Dec. 1908, at
Long Branch, N. j., met with the State
Fish Commission, and succeeded in de-
monstrating the Inconsistencies of COM
polling the fishermen to ask for a renew
al of these permits, and was able to Sc
cure their approval in giving notice to all
the Wardens and Deputy Wardens Of
this State to allow the fishermen to fish
under the old permits, allowing the per-
mits of 1908 to remain in force, to fish
for carp. We admire enthusiasm in the
pursuit of ones duty. We wish all hon.
orable success to every one. But the no.
tice referred to the above sounds to some
OF us like appropriating some one elses
work for another's. "Honor to him, to
whom honor is due" Very Truly Yours
"VoTERs."

Farmer Shot. wife III taii.

Duke Ingersoll, a young farm hand al
Wing Lane, this county, was mysterious
shot, last Friday night.
Ingersoll was sitting back of the kitch-
en- stove, enjoying his after-supper pipe,
last Friday night about Z o'clock. when
there came the crack OF a gun close to
the house, followed by a crash OF glass in
the window back of the farmer. He felt
the ping of a number Of shot in his head
and shoulders, and tried to nm out to
see what it all meant, but the pain called
a halt, and he sat down to nurse his
wounds. Though painfully hurt, he was
not in a serious condition, and managed
to get about his work next day.
His wife was in a corner OF the room
and out Of range, and, as Ingersoll fell,
she went to his assistance. Together
they then made their way to the home
of ex-Judge William A. Wood, the en-
ployer of the injured man, and word was
given out Of the outrage.
A number OF farmers quickly organized
a searching party. A young man who be-
came frightened and ran when challeng-
ed to stop had a narrow escape from the
two shots fired at him. Late in the
evening, when cooler heads prevailed, it
was suspected that William Denelsbeck,
Jr., who lives with his father over a mile
from the settlement, might be Che guilty
person, and two of the residents went to
the house and questioned him, but made
no arrest. The mex morning at 4 o'clock
the young mamie is 10 years of age
took his leave and has not yet been
caught.
Detective Carney after an inyestiga-
ton, arrested Mrs. Ingersoll and placed
her in jail. She denies that she had any
connection with the crime, and says she
is sure to secure her liberty ON bail in a
few days.
A double-barreled shotgun has been
found at the home of young Denelsbeck.
In barrel was found a shell that had
contained shot the size that injured In
gersoll.
Neighbors say that Ingersoll had quar-
relied with Denelsbeck several times over
the attentions of the yoong man to Mrs.
Ingersoll, and that he had been ordered
away from the house the day before the
shooting.
