fed the police. Later young man com

Constitutional Questions.

The constitutional questions involved in
the controversy having been determined,
so far as they can be otherwise than by a
decision Of the supreme court in favor Of
the proposed legislation, in the opinion
recently announced by the attorney gener-
al, in response to an inquiry made by the
senate committee, the committee is re-
lieved from all responsibility in relation
thereto, and is free to act upon It's own
judgment as to what is for the best inter-
est Of the public as whole, including
the rightful interests Of the railway COR
porations, as well as those Of the people
at large. There should be no conflict be-
tween the two but SO long as self-interest
dominates the human mind In its action.
so long will it be necessary to provide
competent tribunals to determine when
the exactions Of one party encroach upon
the rightful interests Of another, with
power to enforce such determination. It
is such 8. tribunal that the interests I rep
resent seek to have established by con-
gress to determine disputes constantly
arising between the carriers anda the pub
lie, instead Of leaving the final determi-
nation, as is now the case, in the hands Of
one Of the parties in interest.

on the ground that the state ought not to

about as safe as the state bonds Of

Smaller Freebooter Boards.

Passaic, Hunterdon, Monmouth and
Middlesex Counties have voted to ae-
cept the legislative act which provides
for abolishing the old boards of Free
holders elected Upwards and townships
and substituting smaller and more
compact boards. In. the last election
Bergen, Ocean aud Warren Counties
declined to accept the act. The voters
III New Jersey are conservative and
adopt changes cautiously. The opera
ton of the new Freebooter system in
the four counties will be watched. and
If it shall prove to be much of an i'm
provement on the old it will gradually
become generally adopted in the State
The affairs of a county can, in fact,
be more readily administered by a few
men selected with some reference to
their ability and knowledge of affairs
than by Heterogeneous board repre-
senting all the small subdivisions of
the county. Each of these sub-divis-
ions is a well-organized municipality.
and the whole county is governed ir-
respective of the county board, which
has to do only with the county in
situations, the county roads and
bridges and the county expenses. It
doesn't require the work of a legisla-
ture TO attend to these details.

Good Manners at the Telephone.

1t has been recently suggested that
some one ought to write book on
the etiquette of telephone usage
This is not bad idea. tits astonish-
ing how some very well bred persons
seem to forget most of the require
ments of good manners when they use
the telephone. The voice they use is
not intheir usualIwe,l mod ulated tones,
but is crisp and brusque. They
are impatient of delays, but do not
hesitate to cause them, and they lose
their temper in way they would
never do anywhere else. One word
should be addressed to those who
have a subordinate in office, or SER
want at home, call up person and
not until that person is announced at
the other end of the line do they leave
their work or their pleasures and go
to the telephone. Meanwhile the
other person is kept waiting when
probably timeis ofequal value at eth
er end of the line. A reasonable amount
of patience, and a lot of considera-
ton are important items in telephone
ethics

The Best Christmas Gift.

This is the time of year, when many
a husband, father lover or sonis debat-
ing within himself the best form of a
gift to be presented to his faithful wife
or dependent daughter, to her who is to
be his bride or to the mother who may
look TO MIN alone for comfort and sup
port. What are gifts, however costly,
when compared with safe assurance
of protection in case the husband,
father. lover or son should be called
away for ever? A certificate of mem
bership in the Ancient Order of United
Workmen insures the payment of its
face value at the death of the member
to his beneficiary. 1t is the best, the
most lasting gift that can be bestowed.

carrying rifle, started cunning last
Saturday, and when about mile
from home young Wyckoff while car
