Europe buys raw cotton in this country
weaves it into prints and sells it in China,
5000, Oo0, 900 worth annually where we sell
$50, 100000. But the Department OF
Commerce and Labor has sent to China and
gotten LOT Of the standard grades and
patterns of cotton, and is arranging to send
them out in the form of card libraries. There
WILDE sample of the cloth, a photograph
of the pattern and techanical description
of the goods. About a hundred sets Of
eighty different cards each are being pre-
pared, and they will be sent out to all of
the milling centres. As there are not
enough to go around they will be returned
at the end Of certain time to the depart
ment and sent out to fresh towns. The
sets Of cards can be had by chambers OF
commerce on application.

The strong points of Councilman Cat
tell's position is his opposition to perpetual
franchises; permitting tire Bell Telephone
Company to lay conduits for its special use,
erd his advocacy of the bills now before
the legislature permitting Woodbury. to
build and operate its own lighting plant.
His personal grievances against the bosses
for tricking him into the support of its
organization, and then leaving him by the
wayside, most people will view as serving
him right. The good things in government
that Mr.. Cattell advocates were originated
by the Democratic party, and fought for
IN the open; that candidates who supported
them failed of election was due TO the op
position of men who really believe in
them, but were unable to break old party
ties. If the people will, valuable lesson
may be drawn from all this local disturb
ance.
If the people will they may again have
their own local governments taken out Of
the hands of the political bosses, but they
must evince genuine independence, and
beat the bosses good and hard, again and
even again and again, before this privilege
will be restored to them.
The voting machine is another devise of
the bosses TO control the people. Relying
on the strong attachment most men have
for the party name, and the voting machine,
they have right to feel pretty well secur-
ed, and consequently give slight heed TO
popular demands.
Genuine equal taxation Of corporations,
and a square deal as between the people
and corporations, will never be attained in
New Jersey SO long as city and county and
State and national officers are elected at
one ringing Of the bell. Reformers, don't
forget this, and if you are in earnest there
is hope that some time in the future the
local political atmosphere will be as heath
full as Mr.. CatteIl would wish to have it.

Editor Albright, of the Consultation, is
about the most fantastic editorial writer we
know Of in the State, but his condition Of
mind is the natural result Of a necessity
Of pleasing one person. As Mr. Avis em-
ployee he must please Mr.. Avs, and to
please him enough to get TO be a member
of the County Board Of Equalization Of
Taxation, he must thoroughly please Mr..
Avis. And to thoroughly please Mr.. Avis
he must needs be fantastic. But we will
let that pass, for the present.
There is so much that is and has been
peculiar about she legislature this winter,
that only those who in.closest touch with
doings up there can hope to know
what is done, until it is finally done, and if
the editor of this paper is a proper subject
for fantastic discussion for using comment
of an upstate paper and applying it to Mr..
AS Senate ii, we plead no malice against
Mr.. Avis.
But that don't change our opinion Of
of Senate bill No. A. II is the same bill
that it was, before editor Albright did his
masters bidding.
In our opinion it is bad policy to change
from a Democratic Republican, to an auto
cratic form Of government, and this bill is
long step in that direction. Editor Al
bright feels that it helps the bill to pay the
salaries out of the state treasury. To our
mind the salaries that the bill carries is its
least Questionable feature; money counts
nothing when fundamental principle of
American government is violated. Sem
ator Minturn Of Hudson county voted
against the bill because it was bad IN prin-
ciple, and that has been our contention
against it from the f st.
Among the things the legislature is pro-
hibited by the State Constitution from
doing is passing laws Regulating the IN
ternal affairs of towns and counties; APP
pointing local officers or commissions to
regulate municipal affairs.p
It occurred to us that law empowering
the Governor to appoint board, to "revise,
review, and enforce taxation is a violation
Of that clause Of the Constitution of our
State, and no amount of fantastic abuse
Of us by Senator Avis hired man will
change our view.
This law abolishes the Office Of Com
missioners Of Appeal and confer on the Coy
ernor's tax board all the powers now pos
sessed by Commissioners Of Appeal. Who
will dare contend that three men, selected
from the body of any county, will be bet
tel equipped to revise the work of the As
SCISSORS of township than the three men
heretofore named and elected by the peo-
pie, and known as the Commissioners Of
Appeal
To our mind this bill is a direct insult to
the intelligence Of the people, and if Mr..
Avis conceived, and, in conjunction with
William Fl. Albright, wrote its provisions,
as Mr.. a. says was done, we hope both
will yet see the error Of their cause, and
get back on safe governmental ground be-
fore it is too late.

A plan Of interest to all cotton growing
and cotton milling sections of the country
has been devised by the Department. Of
Commerce and Labor. 1t has been decided
to push our cotton goods trade in the ORR
ent for all it is worth, and to successfully
compete in that part of the world, the
manufactures must know what the market
requires. One cannot sell China the same
goods that go in the United States. They
have their own patterns and colors and
sizes Of material.

Present Session Likely to Be
the Longest In Years.
ANOTHER WEEK IS NECESSARY.
Charges Against Senator's shinn and
Martens Add Excitement to Closing
Days-Liauor Bills Take Up Much
Time-License Fixed at $500.
Especial Correspondence

Trenton, April 5.The present ses.
sion Of the New Jersey legislature bida
fair to be the longest, as it has been
the most exciting, in number OF
years. Today completes the thirteenth
week, aud it is the consensus Of opin-
ion that at least another week will be
necessary to dispose of the work be-
fore the lawmakers. The charges of
extortion preferred against Senators
Shinn and Martens BY Philip Krimke,
a Newark pawnbroker, have made the
closing days ones of unusual activity.
The senate investigation of these
charges began Monday night. Senators
Shinn and Martens before jammed gal
Ieries asked for an investigation Aft
er the secretary had read the states
ments they presented, Mr. Hillery Of
fered resolution which, sdeeming 1t
to be matter of justice both to the ac-
cused and to the senate itself to make
a thorough inquiry" provided for the
appointment of committee of inyesti-
CATION. The resolution was unanimous
" adopted, and President Bradley APP
pointed the members of the judiciary
committee to serve as Investigators
These members are Hillery of Morris,
Wakelee of Bergen and Minturn Of
Hudson.
The matter was taken up yesterday
wednesday, by the judiciary commit
tee, and a number of witnesses We're
examined as to the charges against the
two senators. The committees report
will be submitted to the senate. Will
liam H. Corbin of Jersey City, who has
conducted number of legislative in
vestigations in the last twenty years,
was made counsel to the committee.
The first of the bills over which the
charges have been made cuts monthly
interest to 1 per cent and requires II
censed pawnbrokers to sell pledges at
public auction after notice of ten
days. The other makes the three ball
gentry liable to owners for pledged ar
ticles that have been stolen or misap-
propriated. The last mentioned is cred
tied with aiming primarily to enable
carpenters to recover tools that have
been stolen and pawned Both bills
had been referred to the committee on
labor and industries, of which commit
tee both the accused senators are MEM
bers along with Mr.. Alderman, who
has not figured in the case.
