INCIDENTS Of THE CAMPAIGN.

George E. Taylor, negro once assoc
oiated with the notorious Ed Hunter
on the democratic state central COM
mittee says he knows how to go and
get the negro vote of Jasper county for
Perkins and Hunter has supplied him
with everything he needs to perform
the service. The Cummins men OF
+ Jasper county without money to hire
paid workers must depend solely upon
the independence of the farmer vote to
overcome the work Of these experts"
who know Just how to get the negro
vote for Perkins.
In Montgomery county the county
central committee decided TO put the
names of the candidates for governor
on the primary ballot and permit all
republicans to vote their preference as
between Cummins anud Perkins. The
standpat republican newspaper at Red
Oak refused to publish this fact and
the committee was compelled to make
Its announcement in a democratic
newspaper. Then Smith Mcpherson. the
federal Judge who got drunk at pub
lie banquet in Council Bluffs and
abused Governor Cummins, got
the "standpatters into caucus at
Red Oak, and named standpat dele
gates to the county convention in
structing them 10 disregard the vote
of the people ali the primary.
This is merely one incident of the
work of federal appointee trying to
pay for his $4,000 per year job. It
furnishes another striking example of
1.-The reason why Mr.. Blythe kept a
O." railway employe, a Mr.. Eaton, in
Des Moines all winter to defeat state
wide primary election law. If the peo-
pie of Iowa will Just gaze upon the in
cidents of this campaign they will be
able to realize in measure what Gov
ernor Cummins is up against in his
fight to give the public some voice in
the administration of its own affairs.

The system Is very simple. Suppose a
tradesman in Vienna has an account
due from customer in, say, such a
distant town as Budapest, which he
wishes to collect. Distance does not
matter in the least. He Immediately
sends the bill to the postoffice in the
capital, whence it is at once transmit
ted to the postoffice at Budapest.
There the postman presents it to the
debtor, collects the cash, and RENTS 1t
to the Vienna postoffice, whence 1t Is
delivered to the tradesman by by post
man. In the event Of payment being
refused, which of course, sometimes
happens the creditor is promptly ap-
prised of the fact, and valuable time
is thus frequently saved

An experiment of general interest is

segregating consumptives has been
discussed, and finally a system has
been decided upon. M. Bourgeoise

iect Just before assuming office as
foreign minister few months ago.
The hospital population of Paris num-
bers on the average about $4,000, of
whom about 5000 are consumptives.
These 5000 are to be gradually with

and to be drawn together in three

serted by expectation and alone with
memory, the solace of the aged.

these old men were young the world
wondered at their deeds. They tough.

Some of the newspapers which sup
port Perkins are laying the CAD on Bill
Striker of Aurelia, and Uncle George
quotes them with apparent approval in
the Sioux City Journal. Bill was a
royal good fellow in the eyes of the
Perkins men until he failed to deliver
Cherokee county to them. He handled
their money, and everything he did, no
matter how shady, was approved by
them But he lost out; and now they
all want to kick him and discredit him.
Bill ought to come back at them and
tell about the things they wanted him
to do which were so mean that he
wouldn't even consider them.

Long Branch and MataWan Nip and
Tuck in Fight for Pennant.

Former players on Perth Amboy
teams will be largely represented in
the game between Matawan and
Freehold tomorrow at Freehold.
Freehold is hopelessly last in the At
lantic Coast League race, but the
team has been strengthened greatly
for tomorrow's contest. 1t is believ-
ed to be with the object of pulling
Matawan from the lead, thus aiding
Long Branch, which is a close second.
If Freehold is so DESTROYS of adding
to its games won, 1t is queer it does
not strengthen its team for today's
game with Red Bank. Should Mata-
wan lose tomorrow, it would be tied
with Long Branch for first place.
In the game with Matawan Thurs
day, Freehold will place the fastest
team in the field ever rounded togeth-
err to represent the Monmouth coun-
ty seat in the league. Among the
stars will be three who played on the
local team at Amusement Park on
Sundays early this season, Justice,
Bennett and McCune. Knapper, of
this city, plays at shortstop for Mata-
wan and is one of their best perform
ers at the bat and in the field.
The lineup for Freehold against
Matawan will be: Justice, SIS; Ben
nett, 3D.; Driscoll, b.; Rothfuss,
Oh; Oliver, eff; Dietrich, If; Bar
rett or Rogers, r.f.; Thielman, D.;
McCune, C.
Games in the Atlantic Coast
League this week are as follows: To-

Tomorrow Matawan plays at Free
