provements and they elected men who
have given them what they desired
The question is naturally asked
therefore, why is it that this city
went democratic last Tuesday when
it has been a republican administra-
ton that has done all this?
There is but one answer. The peo-
pie saw the hand of Theodore Strong
beginning to take a hold in local
affairs and they want none of 1t.
While Strong may not have come in
here personally. it has been noticed
for some time that George ]. Haney,
Strongs chief lieutenant, has been
exceedingly busy Haney was looked
upon as the leader here and the
Strong-Haney machine" was com
ing more and more into evidence.
Perth Amboy sees no reason why
New Brunswick boss, no matter
who he is, shall have anything to say
here; this city has been used as 3
catspaw by the ring" and the peo-
pie are determined to have no more
of it.
All is not yet lost to the republic
cans. They still control majority
of the city offices. BY cutting loose
from Strong and Haney and placing
a man, in the water board to succeed
w P. OHara, in whom the people
will have the utmost confidence, they
will restore iAs public good Will.
1t was bossism of the Strong
Haney variety that the people aimed
at last Tuesday and they hit blow
which should have the desired result
The republican administration has
an excellent record to back it; there
is no reason for turning it down. II
was Strong and Haney that lost the
last election. Put these men down
and out as the people have done, and
there seems to be no good reason why
the republican party should not re-
main in power in this city and the
county, too

dlesex county and to it is due much
of the credit for the downfall of boss
ism here as in Essex.
In commenting upon the service OF
the Newark News, the Hoboken OBJ
server says:
While the memory of the achieve
ment is still fresh in the minds of the
public, we desire to extend to the
Newark Evening News for its latest
and most magnificent fight against
bossism, the thanks of the friends OF
good government.
when newspaper is wrong 1t has
no influence whatever. When it is
right, fearless and energetic no other
agency compares with it in power
particularly a newspaper of great Cir
culation.
Without the News the forces oi
reform would have been powerless
this year and Lentz and his corrupt
machine might have fooled the peo
Pile and gained another lease of life
Throughout the campaign, how
ever, it rallied them in their fight;
cheered them after the reverse at the
primaries and gave them the benefit
of it's almost unlimited publicity.
Bossism is smashed in Essex, al
least republican bossism. Last years
10000 republican majority for Colby
has been reversed and the Lentz tick.
ct defeated by nearly 1000.
Nobody will claim that this could
have been accomplished without the
support of a newspaper which pene-
trates to nearly every home in tha'
county and carries into each of then
the spirit of independence.

GREAT COAL DISCOVERY.

a discovery has been made near DO,

describes as "the event of most I'M

Norman conquest"
Rich seams of coal have been founc

The new coal field is claimed to be
the largest virgin one in the United
Kingdom, and the value of the coal

Peter F. Daley leans to the belief
that dream will actually come true,
so far as its incidents are possible in
real life, if told to an intimate before
breakfast, and its mustic charm will
be broken if told after eating. Mr..
Daley has, been known to wait an

occasion he rode twenty miles after

George Beban was cured of a SUI
perstition by an accident that nearly
cost him his life. In his earlier ca

meant being shot at thousands ol
times with presumably blank, cart

Beban wore over his heart a watch

Kate Condor once startled her wo-
man friends by deliberately changing
her stockings from one foot to the
other while attending an afternoon
tea. Woman's curiosity demanded an
explanation that was given after the
change had been accomplished in 81
lence., One OF the guests who had
gone from the room was afflicted with
a cast that gave her the appearance
of being cross eyed No ordinary
crossing of fingers or other secret for
mula or charm could prevent the hoo
doc of cross eyed woman when no
men were present, and Miss Condor
started an immense following by SOL
emnly declaring that she had found
this switching" of stockings a COM
plete protection from evil results in
such cases.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER IL.
THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING.

Holiday shopping time is but few
weeks off. Two weeks from Thurs
day is Thanksgiving day and after
that all thoughts turn to Christmas.
Local merchants have been plan
ming for this season of. the year. for
several months past and Perth AM
boy stores promise to eclipse any
previous year in their holiday display
Hundreds of people from all the
surrounding territory will flock tC
Perth Amboy to make their holiday
purchases. This will bring thousands
Of dollars into this city. This means
increased prosperity for Perth Am
boy and a more enjoyable place to
live in.
There is no question about the out
of town shoppers, it is the local resi-
dents who should take TINS matter
under consideration at once and plan
to spend their money right here at
home. By so doing you not only get
what you want, but you indirectly
add to your own prosperity.
In figuring up the number Of pres
ents you have to bay and the amount
of money your have to spend, remeih-
ber that the carfMesto New York W.T.
buy one of those presents if you stay
at home to make your purchases. 4
This is a matter worthy of consid-
GRAFTON. 1t is commented upon now
merely as a reminder while the plans
for the holiday shopping are being
made. More will probably be said
on this same subject later.
