COLBY-HTLLERY DEBATES.

Progress has been made in the pro-
posed series of joint debates between
Senator Everett Colby and Senator
Thomas j. Hillery, of Morris. Mr..
Colby and Mr.. Hillery met by appoint
ment at the headquarters Of the Re
publican League for Limited Fran
chises and Equal Taxation and they
talked the matter over. They agreed
to put off the debates until September
and to hold the first one during the
first week of that month in Morris
county on day and at place to be
agreed upon later. The meeting be-
tween the two young statesmen is re-
ported to have been most cordial, and
after they had made the agreement in
reference to the debates they spent
some time together talking over cur
rent events.
During one Of the meetings of the
Colby movement in Morris, some time
ago, the Essex Senator, in a speech,
referred to that county delegation in
the Legislature in a manner which
Senator Hillery construed as a refiec-
tion upon his course as one of the
States lawmakers.
He Immediately challenged the Es-
sex man to a joint debate upon their
respective careers as members of the
Legislature, to take place before his
constituents in various places in Nor
ris. Mr.. Colby as quickly accepted
the challenge, but before the details
OF the oratorical contest could be ar
ranged Mr.. Colby lost his daughter
and the negotiations went off.-New-
ark News.

JUDGE MARCUS w. ACHEsoN, of
the Third Judicial Circuit Of the
United States Court, which includes
New Jersey, died at his home in Pitts
burg Friday, in the seventy-eighth
year Of his age Judge Acheson was
admitted to the bar in 1852, and in a
remarkably brief time took rank with
the foremost lawyers Of Rittspprgs
He enjoyed large and lucrative prac-
tice when at the bar, and it was a
matter of no little surprise to his con-
freres that he should relinquish it and
go upon the bench Of the United
States District Court in 1880 at the
modest salary then paid, He was an
able and just judge, and In the circle
in which he quietly and serenely
moved his death will be sincerely
mourned.

THE Madison Eagle +" kindly de-
tends the editor of this paper against
the insinuations of the Boonton /" Bul-

cites as an illustration that while the
editor from long service in the party
and familiarity with its workings and
inside history knows many things in
regard TO some of the persons who are
now censnring the party leaders that
would make very interesting reading
he has refrained from publishing it..
This is all very true. Wecould doubt
less point out the sore spot that caus-
es the dissatisfaction In nearly every
instance. But what is the use We
are all Republicans and all claim to be
working together for the good of the
country, and while differing in meth
DDS profess the same principles. 1t is
not very ancient history when the dis
sensions in the party and the petty
ambitions Of its leaders turned the
control IF the county affairs over to the
Democracy, and il was only after
years of patient effort and the building
up Of our present efficient county or
ganization that we came into our own
again. We have no desire to see the
experiment repeated, and we predict
that after the primaries are held IN
September all Republicans win be
found working together in harmony
So far as the editor Of the Bulletin :
is concerned we hope he will soon take
lesson from the parrot who badgered
a monkey until he found himself in q

WILLIAM p. CHANCELLOR, Super

stated in a commencement address at
Ridgewood a few evenings ago, that
girls in this country were outnumber-

let it be said in praise, when solemn

REALLY, the Democratic press
should get together. Last week we
published an extract from the Dover
.sIndexp to show that it was helping
along the Colby movement in order to
defeat the Republican party. And we
also find it tanning the fires Of ambi-
bition in the breast of John 5. Gibson.
But the Summit " Record" an equally
good Democratic sheet says in regard
to Mr.. GibSon's candidacy: "Gibson
believes that the voters of a consider
able part Of Essex county are lying
awake nights worrying over the fact
that he is not their representative in
Congress instead Of r.. Wayne Par
ker. 1t matters not to Gibson that
the voters in the county have froWned
on his aspirations for some Office with
a fat salary so often that he has earned
recognition as one of the most per-
sistent and consistent office-seekers in
the State. He was one Of the first to
recognize the possibilities Of the Colby
movement and we can recall no person
associated with that enterprise who
beat him to the band wagon. Having
rendered valuable assistance orally to
the Colbyitiss in reforming New Jer-
sey-affairs Gibson now believes that
Congress needs some of the powders Of
publication that he carries in abund-
ance for scattering purposes whenever
his aspirations are sqnelched and he
has declared himself a candidate to
succeed r. Wayne Parker.

{ The Bishops liquor law goes into ef-

Wednesday Of next week. The talk OF
contrasting the constitutionality OF the
act, and thus having the law held up
pending a decision, seems to have PEI

the present time that the provisions OF
the law will have to be observed all
over the state for the coming year at

favor its strict enforcement, believing
that it will be so unpopular that there
will be little difficulty in securing its

SENATOR Colby has given the name
of the new idea" to the fashion that
prevails just now of men announcing
themselves as candidates for office.
Since the launching Of the Record
Colby boom in Jersey City some weeks
ago, a number of men in various parts
OF the State have announced their
candidacy and propose to get to work
Immediately to secure their endorse
ment by the people at the primaries
to be held in September. This matter
of announcing one's self as a candi-
date is not new in several counties of
the State at least, as it is quite the
thing to publish a card in the party
organs in Sussex, Hunterdon and other
counties, asking for the nomination
for an office. At times there will be
several cards asking for the support OF
the party for the same Office. These
cards, however, invariably contain the
words subject to the vote Of the
party at the convention" So far, no
one has publicly announced himself
for candidate for office in Morris
county. Asst costs money 70 hire q
hall, and it is a nuisance to attend q
political meeting in hot weather, we
venture TO suggest to any aspirants
for Office in this county to use the
newspapers, and we will be pleased to
quote rates.

A Remarkable Game.

If Demon" Shaw never pitches an
other game of ball, his record made
Saturday in the game with Waterloo
will be talked about as long as any
of those who saw it or who participate
ed in it are alive, and it will be pass
ed down to other followers of the
game as one of those unusual accom-
plishments one hears about but sell
dom sees. Mr.. Shaw allowed but one
clean hit off his delivery. The visit
ors were credited with three hits, but
two of them were not clean, being
chances knocked down by the infield,
but in such way that errors were
not chargeable. One other man got
to first and he was the only man to
reach second, going down on the over
throw of the base that permitted him
to live at first. Mr.. Shaw gave not a
single man base on balls, he hit no
one and not a single sacrifice hit was
made off his delivery. He compelled
every man who appeared before him
to be Eat bat" in the record of the
game. Only thirty men faced him at
the plate and thirty are recorded in
the "at bat" column. This is a rec,
ord-breaker for this season in the
Iowa league and would stand in al.
most any other league in the land.
The fielding stunts turned by both
teams in the support of their pitchers
was no less remarkable than the
work Of the slab artists. The Quak-
ers took every chance that appeared,
with but three exceptions, and they
made chances out of the impossible.
Another unusual thing in the game
was the fact that on the Quaker side
every assist was made by two men.
