The Dumb against The Wise.

EDITOR OF DENfoCRAT:-
| see that $4,000 is to be expended on
the Westyille and Crown Point road. We
are sorry to know that our Board of Free
holders and their superintendent, do not
know how to fix or buy material for road
We hope they will leave the matter to our
dumb township committee that is composed
of three farmers in whom we have trusted
to mend roads in West Deptford town
ship and have done their work fairly well.
If they do not do their work well we can
put them out one by one, but as it IS we
cannot tell who is to h'ame for such work
has been done on our roads in the
county We hope the Board of Freehold
ers will give the township committee all
privilege the law will allow, and il they do
not fix the road as it should be, the people
can blame them or put them out sooner or
later, or elect men that can do wrok in
workman-like manner. Some of our peo-
pie say the cause of our bad roads is due to
Mr. Usinger. Does he represents the whole
Board of Freeholders in the county? if SO,
he is better auctioneer than he is on
mending roads. We hope that our Assem-
blyman and Senators Of this county will
try to pass law that all roads in every
township, State or county roads may come
under the supervision of the Township
Committee, and the people can tell who to
blame for bad roads, and give US back our
Spring elections. and the people will haye
better roads at less expense.

New YOrk's Wealth.

By the computation of the Census Bureau
the wealth of the State Of New York COM
prised in farms and other real property,
factories, railroads, telegraphs, canals, ma
chinery, gold and silver, etc. is 81, 769,-
042, 207.
This is approximately one-seyenth Of the
national total of $l07, 900, 900, 900. 1t ex-
ceeds Italy's wealth by nearly $4,000, 00O,-
600 and is about equal to the combined
national resources of Spain, Portugal
Switzerland and the Netherlands 1t ranks
New York among the financial great pow
ers, with standing just below that of
Austria Hungary.
A per capita division of the States wealth
would give $4,000 to every man, woman
and child, as compared with the national
average of 81, 800. 1t represents the aggre-
gate possessions of Is, 900 plain millionaires,
fifty Carnegies or twenty Rockefellers 1t
would buy all the railroads in the United
States.
To this enormous wealth the State is
adding $500, 600, 900 year, or almost the
valuation Of Baltimore It is wonder
full showing Of material prosperity, one that
gives prouder claim to the title Of Empire
State. Within this single commonwealth
is now contained more than double the
wealth Of the entire nation half century
ago, and its annual increase more than ex-
ceeds the total value Of our export trade
when Grant was President. World.

KILLS 10 COUGARS.
Hunter Of Orofino, Idaho, Has Record
as Hunter of This Beast.

OROFTNO, Idaho, Dec. III. d.
Snyder killed a large cougar on Orofino
creek, about seven miles above OrofinO.
This cougar was freed by William
divers famous dog, Dewey, whose
reputation as a cougar hunter extends
over the entire Clearwater section. On
visiting the same vicinity the next
day a second cougar was freed and
killed in a like manner
This mawes the 10Th cougar killed
by Mr.. Snyder since his arrival in this
country some seven years ago. Cou-
gars seem more plentiful his year
than in the past. This owing to the
fact that cougars will always be found
in the vicinity of deer, these animals
being driven out of the mountains by
the early falls of snow this year.
