which Hawaii had been subjected TO

very frequently found in volcanic coun-
tries.
He has acquired the Yankee habit of
asking questions about the most paltry
objects. done I believe largely for the
purpose of testing my powers of OBJ
servation. Amongst others his atten-
ton was attracted to the gum exuding
from the young mesquite or algaroba
tree. I told him it was similar to the
gum arabic of commerce. AS there are
such large numbers of these trees in
all the dry parts of the Islands the
gathering of it should afford work for
many children. and as it brings a good
price it would pay to collect it.
A couple of kanakas pounding poi
had TO be interviewed and it appeared
they We're making poi from wheat
flour. The process interested him and
/ he asked why they did not use taro.
He was told that it was not a taro re-
gion. the nearest patches being at Mo-
iliili, ten miles distant. They boil the
flour in kerosene tins and pound the
paste on boards similar TO the max
ing of poi from taro, breadfruit, sweet
potatoes. etc, etc. for the natives
make poi from all the starches. Also
they said -four was cheaper and more
portable than taro to them.
So. we trudged YEARLY homeward,
admiring every object such as the
splendid stone fences on either side of
the road the good roads and the many
partition walls built of stone for the
two-fold object of clearing the land
and of making partition walls for the
better pasturing of cattle. He did not
fail to note the wisdom of the forester
in cutting alternate trees and making
provision for the growth of the young
wood.
The Rapid Transit car standing at
the Zoo at Kaimuki was to both of US
a pleasing sight after the twenty-mile
walk. but We had mutually enjoyed the
excursion.

THE EASY OIL.

SCOTS Emulsion is
"the easy oil easy to
take, easy in action. It's
use insures deliverance
from the gripping and nau-
seating sensation peculiar
to the raw oil. Nobody
who has any regard for
their stomach thinks of
taking cod liver oil in the
old way when SCOTS
Emulsion is to be had.
1t is equally certain that
no one having a regard for
their health will accept a
cheap emulsion or alcO-
hOlic substitute for SCOTS
Emulsion. It fulhlls ev-

encies this sentiment might be trans
lated into fact.
The democrats ought to carry Hud-
son, Warren and Hunterdon counties.
They have a fighting chance in Essex,
Bergen, Union and MiddleseX, and
something better in Passaic and Mon
mouth. Even in the southern coun-
ties, where the independent republi-
can vote at the recent primaries was
insignificant, the factional fights

age democrats and others who are
not hide bound in p~artisanship, to a
mighty effort. To gain the support
of the people, however, the party

fidence.

PRICELESS RELICS.

Concerning the records of the East
and West Jersey pr%oprietors, the
Newark Advertiser said last night:
"a survival of the seventeenth cen
fury, the Boards of East and West
Jersey Proprietors, which own some
valuable ancient records relating to
land titles and possess some shadowy
claims, may now go out of corporate
existence or continue to exist only as
traditions. The state is the proper
custodian of the records of the Pro
prietors, and as there is really moth
ing else involved, the state can make
a bargain to have their property
transferred to it's ownership ami care,
in order that there may be free ac-
cess to the same by people searching
titles.
Included in the records of the
West Jersey Proprietors there are
several valuable historical documents
that should not be in private posses
sion, the principal n being the
deed executed by the Duke Of York,
after King James II. of England. to
Lord Berkeley and John Cartere. for
the Province of Nova Caesarea, dated
in June, 1864, two years prior to
the founding of Newark by settlers
from Connecticut. There are also
the original deed of July, 1876, by
which New Jersey was divided into
two provinces, and the book of com
missions of the Proprietors, embody-
ing the fundamental laws of New
Jersey. These precious relics should
be kept under glass at the State
house. They have been hidden in d
vault at Burlington.
THE special commission appoint
ed by the governor while in negotia-
ton with the Boards of P~roprietors,
has made good progress, and the
prospect is that a sale to the state
will be contaminated, the rights" of
the Proprietors to go with the rec
ords surrendered to the state

WINKING AT THE LAW.

Another example of the methods of
the present excise board was shown
in yesterdays EVENING NEWS. A
saloon keeper, whose license had ex-
pired and who had failed to ask for a
renewal, was ordered to close by the
police Saturday. The fellow is O
doing business, claiming he has plac-
ed his $3.50 fee in the hands of one
of the excise commissioners pending
the next meeting of the board.
What right has any member of the
excise board to tell any saloon keep
er that he can sell without a license?
What right has the chief of police to
allow this open violation to pass I'M
noticed? What right has any mar to
put himself above the law?
The excise board is simply uphold
ing it's well established reputation
1t remains to be seer whether the
republican city convention will show
its defiance of the people by renomi-
mating any members of the present
board. 1t is just such action as is
evident in connection with this saloon
that has won for MiddleseX county
the name she has throughout the
state. When the public officials treat
law violations in such an Indifferent
manner it is no wonder the county
is looked upon as one of the most
corrupt in New Jersey.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4,
THOSE TAX BILLS.

Although the assessors have finish
ed their work and the county tax
board has fixed the rate for the vari-
Gus sections throughout the county,
the collector of revenue, of this city,
states he has not yet received the
books and consequently cannot begin
ITO send cut any tax bills. AS il
takes several weeks or a month to get
out the bills after the collector has
once begun, it is evident that no
bills will be out before election. Per-
haps George j. Haney, the president
of the county tax board, can throw
a little light on why these assessors
books are held up. Mr.. Haney has a
great deal he could explain to the
public, if he only would speak. There
is that bridge deal conversation that
he might talk about; there is that
coal combine and the Runyon land
deal--all of them interesting topics
for the local taxpayers. Haney is at
the head of the county tax board, he
is also Boss Strong's chief lieutenant
and is therefore a defender of the
"ring." Can it be that the machine
does not want the collector of reve-
nue. to get to work too early on the
tax bills for fear they will be out be-
fore election? The people must draw
their own conclusions, but it is well
known that the Strong-Haney ma
chhle""|s in absolute control.

SILZER THE MAN.

By the nomination of George S. Sill
yer to oppose Senator w. H. C. Jack.
son for state senator, the democrats
have placed themselves in a strong
>position, and it is very probable that
they will win this fall. No indepen-
dent, fair-minded man wants Jackson.
He is nothing but a tool in the hands
of "Dory" Strong, and everyone
knows it. He hardly dares vote on a
motion to adjourn without first ask
ing his master which way he shall
vote. His whole course in the legis-
laturs is one of total servitude to the
bsses and the corporations.
George S. Silzer has a reputation
as an Independent and fearless man,
He has a mind of his own, and is not
afraid to stand by his convictions.
Mr.. Silzer is well known and there Is
YET, to be heard anything against
him.
II should not be difficult for the in.
dependent voter, who thinks more OF
the welfare of his state and county
than he does his party, to decide how
to vote on the s%enatorship. There is
no comparison between Jackson and
silzer. The democrats have done the
county a favor in nominating a mar
capable of being his own boss. George
silzerais the man.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Work Goes On.

The defeat of political indepen-
dence in this state last Tuesday would
be a great public misfortune if the
effect were to discourage and disgust
with politics the great number of
men who have unselfishly and patri-
otically given their time and effort in
behalf of better government in New
Jersey. Most of them have hereto
fore abstained from political work;
partly because they had not had their
interest aroused, but more largely
because the struggle against the pro-
fessional politician seemed hopeless
and their W participation meant on
ly discomfort and certain defeat. Nov
ices in the detailed work of public
affairs, they were unduly eXhilarated
by the successes of last year, and
they are now disposed to pessimism.
They may refuse again to be disturb
ed and thus abandon the which
stirred their enthusiasm. Such lack
of courage would be a real disaster.
This country and this state needs the
help of these men more than ever
now and they owe to their children
as well as to themselves continued eff
fort, a constant struggle for political
advancement.
The reaction from the higher de-
v%elopment of politics in this state is
traced to many and varied causes,
but, in a general way, it was to be
expected in time. The change was
too sudden to last, and it should
have been recognized that the evils
which were attacked and temporarily
overthrow last year, by a movement
which was felt all over the country,
had existed too long and had too
much value to the selfish and design
ing to be reformed and obliterated in
a single year. New Jersey has had
boss rule for years, great corporations
have controlled it's politics for gener-
atoms, and greed for office has been
the motive of politicians for time
beyond recollection. To destroy the
old and recreate political bodies upon
a completely new foundation was moi
to be accomplished at a single sweep
No such gigantic task could be per
formed in so brief a period.
The work has had a setback
There is more to be done than had
been supposed. But what man OF
courage and heart would now retreat
and abandon the cause?-Newarl

Democratic Opportunity
In New Jersey,

A favorable opportunity would
be missed by the democrats of New
Jersey should they fail to make an
earnest effort to obtain control of the
Legislature to be elected this year.
and which will choose a United States
senator to succeed John Dryden, the
head and front of the Prudential-Pub-
lie Service combine. The purifiers of
the republican party from within
have suffered a setback: but though
defeated at the primaries the anti
machine republicans polled a very
large vote.
The leaders of the revolt within
the party, fearful of losing the status
of Regularity" may outwardly ac-
q%uiesce in the result; the republican
voters who detest bossism and are
sick of the subserviency to the Public
Service crowd are under nc such re-
straint. The sentiment that the par
ty had better lose the state than that
the degrading rule of the Dryden
Public Service syndicate should be

HONEST CURE FOR
RHEUMATISM

1t is frightful to trifle with the suf-
ferings of the person tortured by
Rheumatism. Yet there are medicines
that simply dull the pain for a mo-
ment, while either running the stom-
ach or creating the morphine, opium,
or cocaine habit for the sufferer. The
p~lasters that are tried also tend to
discourage the patient, and make
him or her thing that there is no use
trying anything else.
There is a POSITIVE cure, and an
HONEST one. 1t is simple and easy
to use. 1t cannot do any harm. 1t
