BE REASONABLE.

1t requires considerable fortitude
and courage on the part of man
in office in these little settlements
to discharge his duty on all occa-
sions according to his convictions;
and it often happens that the per-
sons that the public officer has to
fear the most from, and that it is
the most difficult to please is his
personal friends, or at least the per-
sons that he has been in the habit
of considering as his friends. 1t is
also frequently the case that the
very persons that ought to be FORE
most in assisting the officer in
doing their duty. and that would be
expected to aid him ia maintaining
the majesty and poweNof the law,
are the very first ones to kick if their
personal affairs require any adjust
ment'
OF course it is much easier for any
of us to say let the law take its
course when in doing so it hits the
other fellow, then it is when it hits
us, but the man that has a proper
sense of his duty as citizen ought
to nerve himself for the ordeal when
the law is against him and submit.
as he would require others to submit
under like circumstances A most
excellent plan is to try to put your
self in the officers place when you
feel inclined to complain of his
treatment of your affairs.
Just now, in the estimation of
certain parties, the county attorney
and precinct justice are among the
most unjust and unfair characters
in the community on account of an
unpleasant duty which they have
had recently to perform. II their
critics will take time to consider
they will see, or at least ough. to
see, that it would be much pleas.
anter matter to decide in favor of
the defense if the facts warranted

For this reason most Of the legal

and many tfespass goes unpunish

e of the old Roman general, who, il

sentenced his own son to death
would help matters in some OF thes
cases; not that the matter we ar
now discussing is exactly in tina

subjugate his affections to his sens

WHAT ARE THEY DOINGp

The Republicans are moving in
matters political in our county and
city, but what has become of the
Democrats? Is it possible that they
have lost heart, and feel that there
is no hope for them in the political
arena in Iron county this fall9 We
hope not. 1t would not be in the
best interest of good government
that there should be but one politi-
cal party in either the nation, the
state. or the county, in the present
state of fallen humanity.
Political parties are necessary to
the welfare of society, and it would
be a mistake to entrust the manage.
ment of politics to one party only,
no matter what its complexion may
be, or how fair it promises.
Public affairs are not cbove re-
proach, generally speaking, with
three or four parties bidding for the
job of administering them, but if
there was only one bidder, and the
commonwealth had to take him on
his own terms with no one to turn
the Job over to If he failed to live
up to his agreement, it is evident
that matters would soon be a great
deal worse; and although in our
county we are blessed with good
administration on the part of all OF
our officials, they are but human,
and it is well that the party which
they represent should be kept in
line by a proper amount Of compe,
tition. 1t does not augur we'll TO-
good sa;s;ernment when it cay b

LIGHTS WERE THERE.
The Trench Was Directly Across the
Street and The Lights Were at Each
End-Men Thought There Were Trench
es on Both Sides and They Aimed for
the Middle of The Street.

Late last night two men of this city
had narrow escapes from serious in
juries in Madison avenue, where they
fell into the trench being dug i'll front
of tho house of George Hardiman to
make gas connections with the new
Evans house opposite.
Joseph Stumps, of Gordon street,
was driving along the thorOughfnre
and noticed two lanterns which were
placed, one at each end of tine ditch
Mr.. Stumps thought there were two
bitches, one on each side of tile
street, as the lights seomod to in
dicate. He drove in the middle of
The road and The next minute his horse
was down. It was hard task to get
the animal out. While Mr.. StumIs
was examining his horse to see if it
had sustained any injuries, along
came man on bicycle, and al
though someone told him to look ont,
it was too late, and he rode directly
into the trench. The crowd helped
him out. His wheel was pretty BADLY
smashed and he had a deep cash over
his right eve. The place was then
marked so that no mistake could be
made.

Monday Noon.
HE MAY Be VISITING.
Lived in South AmbOy Before His Parents
Moved to This City and Mo her Thinks
He May have Gone There Although He
Never Stayed away from Home Over Night
Before Without Telling His Parents.

Harry VanPelt, seventeen years
old, of l3a East avenue, is missing
from his home and it is thought that
he has been drowned for he was last
seen Monday noon. when ho told his
mother that he was going swimming.
When he started he said he would bo
home later in the afternoon.
THAT night when he did not come
home his mother became alarmed, but
thought that maybe he had gone off
with some of the other boys or had
taken trip to his former home in
South Amboy, but all day yesterday
and up until noon today nothing had
been heard of him.
A News reporter called ut tho Van
Pelt home where it was learned that
the older son, Edward, was in South
Amboy today to see if Harry had
been seen there since Monday. Mrs.
VanPelt did not know what to tEink
of his disappearance and she said that

the Chamber Of Commerce
Last Night.
FINE is ONLY $50.
Anybody, by Paying that Amount to the
City Can do About as He PIeases Re-
garding the Erecting Of Buildings In or
0nt of The Fire limits-1he Matter
Fully Discussed and Incidents Recited.

A revision of the present ordinance
regarding the fire limits is. in the
opinion of the Chamber of Commerce,
all that is necessary to put Perth Am
boy right in that regard, for the pres
ent ut least. William H. Mccormick,
one of the fire wnrdens, gave the
chamber some information on the
matter last night. He recltod several
instances in which he had been con-
nected in the fulfillm ant of his duties
and declared that the present ordin-
ance was worthless. He said the fine
for violation was only $50 so that by
the payment of that amount to the
city, man can do practically any
thing i'll the building line anywhere
in the city.
The matter of buildings was
brought up and the need of so mo re-
gulation was folt. An inspector, it
was thought, as the principal thing
needed; one who would have power

had been fined for violating tho ordin-
Rnoe, it was said, hah never paid q
cont of the fine.
The reason the last building ordin-
ance failed, it W as declared, was be-
cGIso a man could not he agreed upon

ers, bull vo One Had Seen Anything Ac.

The Chamber of Commerce will
continue hammering at the sidewalk
question until something is accom-
plished. That seemed to be the
general opinion of the business men at
their regular meeting last night. The
mombers asked where the improve
ments were. as it was understood that
the city had taken somo action in the
matter. No ono could answer. They
all admitted that, as far rs they could
see, not q stone had boon raised nor a
brick turned.
S. b. Morgan, chairman of the
municipal committee, said tho Board
of Aldermen had promised to attend
to the matter and that someone had
been employed to go over the city
getting a list of sidewalks in noed of
repair.
Oshors said that notices had heen
sent ont and that the city threatened
to do the work themselves if tho
property owners did not comply. Some
oAe suggested that the improvement
would como along with the now
p)licemen. There was liberal dis
cussion of the matter and it was de
cided to keep hammcring. Tho muni-
cipnl committee will continue it's
labors along tho same line to see II the
