A Dynamite Famine Prevails in Mex

From all over Mexico come reports of the scarcity of dynamite and blast ing powder. Even at greatly increased prices mining men have been unable to secure sufficient quantities to meet their requirements and losses in busi- ness have resulted.
 The high tariff excludes American dynamite and the Mexican factory holding the concession is not supplying the demand. Says the Parral Miner: "It is like trust controlling the price of bread, because the bread of the mine owners and of the thousands whom they employ depends on the success of their business and if their business stops, either because they cannot find dynamite, or because they cannot afford to pay the price demand ed, then the bread stops also."

MONEY IN NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS

1t is said that George B. Cortely0u
chairman pf the Republican national
COMMITTEE, and Cornelius N. Bliss, the
committees treasurer, will be called
to testify, in the insurance inyestiga-
ton in New York, to the amount Of
money which the committee had in
the campaign of 1904, the sources from
whence it came and the uses to which
it was put. Many Democratic papers
are asking that these persons be called
to the stand. OF course, if they are
called, the heads Of the Democratic
national committee will also have to
appear, providing they can be reached.
Possibly Tom Taggart, the Democratic
chairman, can be made to furnish a
little entertainment for the country,
in the role of a political cash collector
and distributor. Many Democratic
papers. after the election in which
Taggart organized defeat for his party
on an extensive scale, had some fun
with him in asking him to tell how he
did IT. Mr.. Hughes may be able to
get something out Of him which will
meet the demands Of these inquiring
Democratic journals
There is no reason to believe that
Messrs. Cortelyou and Bliss will object
to telling all they know about the
funds which they handled In 1904.
Probably they have nothing to be
ashamed of in that connection. A
story is just published purportlng to
give the amount of money contributed
to the two party committees in recent
canvasses. According to this tale the
fund collected by Mr.. Cortelyou's COM
mittee was 81, 100000, as compared
with 81, 100000 collected by Chairman
Hanna in 1900 and S3,800,0O0 gathered
by him in 1885, The Cleveland cam
paign fund ia 1892, the year of his
third canvass and his second election,
is placed at ST. 100000. The papers
publishing this story claim that every
item in it is correct. They are partl-
cularly positive about the Republican
fund for 1904 They say that these
are the figures that will be sworn TO
BY Chairman Cortelyou and Secretary
BLISS if they are called before the in
vestigators.
IF the inquisitors call the Republi-
can national committee chiefs 10 the
stand, not much will be learned that
is new or exciting. The Democratic
as well as the Republican committee
collects, in national campaign years,
all the money that it can get. This
has been known to the country IN a
general way ever since the business Of
collecting money for campaign pur-
poses began, which means ever since
campaigns began to be run on vast
scale which required large expendl-
lures of cash.

SQUARE DEAL ron LEGISLATURES.


tits not surprising that the Demo
cratic and iDemocratically inspired
press Of Newark and other cities Of
the State should question the SINGER
ity Of the Republicans of the State.
They are built that way, and lose no
opportunity to express their distrust
of every proposition emanating from
Republican sources. They affect to
believe that only themselves are hon
est and only those are to be trusted
who imbibe their politics from them.
They are not willing to wait until the
gets to work upon the
several important questions that are
to come. before it, in order to see how
faithfully it performs its duties and
fulfils pledges made to the people but
express their conviction that there is
no hope for beneficial legislation.
The representatives from the afore-
said newspaper localities are filled
with forebodings, too, and, disclaim-
ing any intention to question the
sincerity and integrity of their fellow
members, fear that the latter are not
their own mem that they are govern
ed by outside parties and Influenced
to do as directed. All this is wrong.
1t is not fair play, and far from "a
square deal, as the great exponent
of the phase would no doubt prompt
ly admit if questioned. Why not re-
strain the efforts being made to re-
proach the Legislature in advance Of
its acts, and give the Republican
majority an opportunity to prove
whether they understand what the
people want? Anticipating imagi
nary wrong and continually harping
upon it is not pleasant either to hear
or contemplate.

On the first page of this issue ap-
pears a call for public meeting to be
held on Tuesday evening of this week
for the purpose of forming civic as
sociation in Morristown, the object of
which will be to promote the welfare
and health of its citizens. The call is
signed by aconsiderable number Of our
prominent citizens, who can be depend
ed upon to give the matter careful
thoughtand form an organization along
lines that will inure to benefit of the
town.. There is certainly need for an
organization in Morristown that will
seek the advancement of the town
along lines other than purely CONNER
cial ones. What is needed here is a
civic pride that will do things for the
general good at a sacrifice of time,
effort and money, without expecting
to get it all back in increased trade or
pecuniary benefit. If the best inter
tests Of the town are sought first and

be in view Of its wealth and reputa-
tion, the other matters will take care
of themselves. But to bring about
these results it may be necessary to
interfere with some individuals or cor
porations, have an increase in taxa
tion, or something else will come up
that will arouse opposition and the
cry win coup to let we'll enough alone
and then, judging by the past, a lot Of
good people will want the other fellow
to 60 ahead withthe work, but owing
to their business, political position or
some other imaginary reason they will
remain very far in the background.
But we hope for better things this
time. Those familiar with the present
conditions here know that Norris
town has come to the point when she
must go forward or backward there
is no middle ground. And it is the
duty Of every good citizen to help
along this movement even if he does
not see where he is to be directly bene-
fitted personally, beyond the satisfac-
tion of living in a progressive town.

IT is rare time when Washington
is not without excitement. A short
time ago it was a burglar epidemic,
but now that has been RECALLED to the
rear and the principal topic at the
factory, home and store is, viii the
Mayor and Councilmen elect be seat
ed on January 1st as prescribed by
the charter? Owing to their misin-
depreciation of the new election laws
they had not presented themselves
before the Borough Clerk within ten
days after the date of their election
and as a result he will not swear them
into office, owing to a technical legal
point being involved. However, it
was shown by the election that the
citizens desired Dir. Charles B. Smith
for Mayor and Walter p. Gulick and
Charles Shurts for Councilmen, and II
the matter is taken into courts it is
admitted by practically every unbiased
person that the court will take the
intent of the law and also consider
that the election OF the candidates
was the will OF the people.

THE scheme for town hall as pre-
sented lact week in the meeting OF
the board of aldermen seems feasible.
III does not pretend to be perfect and
changes can be made Ia the details Oh
the proposed town buildings, but the
general plan is to be commended. AS
usual when projects of this character
are broached some one with an axe TO
grind begins to scheme to get some
benefit from the enterprise. The point
is being made that the town should
not build on its own property, but
should go to some other part Of the
town and it usually happens that the
parties making suggestions know OF a
piece of property that they are inter
ested in, directly or indirectly. that
can be secured, etc. This is not pecu-
liar to Morristown. Every town in
the State where public building is to
be erected goes through the same ex-
perience. The municipal building
when erected should be on the park
as IL is the centre Of the town in many
ways. There is no available site for a
building that could be purchased for
the money it is proposed TO devote to
the purpose, to say nothing OF the
building ieself. The ground owned
by the town is peculiarly situated
separate from other buildings, on the
summit Of hin with the ground
falling away sufficiently to put the
lookup and other rooms above ground
and vet under the police headquarters
II commands view Of all sides OF the
Park, and is in every way well adapted
to the purpose Of public building

HINTS FOR FARMERS


An. official report of the department
of commerce and labor declares that
for years to come there will be more
money in sheep than in amy other agri
cultural product and that the American
farmer, above all others is in posi-
ton to profit by this condition. The-rea-
son why sheep raising is to be SO profit
able is to be found In the fact that the
floel1s Of the world are declining at an
alarming rate. In little more than
thirty years, or since 1873, this decline
shows loss of no fewer than 9ssoo0,-
900 head, an average Of more= than
