Observations.

A poor girl who went to a fortune
teller was heart broken at being
told that her father was hard
working man who shoveled coal
and tended fires for living. It
wasn't that she objected to honest
toll, but that her father had been
dead for years.

Just now the great mail order
houses are flooding the country
with catalogues with view of Sc
curing cash in advance for their
goods. People who are obliged to
buy on credit of their home mer-
chants nine or ten months in the
year, ought not to allow themselves
to be humbugged by these greedy
firms who are building up the
greatest monopolies on earth. No
person should send away for goods
without first giving the home
dealer a chance to figure on the
bill, for he can and will save you
money and he never has the cheek
to demand the cash thirty days or
even one day in advance.

The Matawan Journal sizes up the
present Legislature rs follows:
Many members Of the present leg
islature are preparing their W fun
erals. which will be held on Novem-
Der 6 next. They have killed the To-
cal option. insurance investigation,
sunset election. and other bills more
or less demanded by their consiitu-
ents. and will have to face the day
of reckoning. The leaders are the
present dictators, but the plain peo-
pie will have the say in the not far
distant future. The equal taxation
bill is not through yet. neither is the
bishops bill, two measures OF great
Importance to the people of New Jer-
scy.
If these and other measures of
widespread interest become laws the
people will be satisfied to a certain
degree and many Of the sins Of omis-
sion will be forgiven.

WATER

While inspectors in the employ of
the water department are making a
of therity e~ndeavoring to ascer-
tain the exact amount of water used,
the subject of meters is of particular
interest here. The NEWS has always
maintained that meters are the only
solution to the problem before the
water board. as it is the only method
by which people can be made 10 pay
for exactly what they use. This is fair
both to the city and to the consumer.
The position of the NEWS on this
subject is borne out by the experience
in Wilmington, Del, a city Of 10000
population. The current number of
the Municipal Journal and Engineer
has an interesting article on the in
s~talIation Of water meters there. BY
reading the article it will be noticed
that both the consumers and the city
saw money by using the meters. The
article in the Municipal Journal is as
follows:
Water meters have proved Sue
cessful in Wilmington. Del, whore
they are installed by the city and
their use is optional with household
ers. Chief Engineer Lessen states, in
a recent report, hat the opposition
which prevailed elsewhere to meter
ing private dwellings was also eXtant
in Wilmington, but hat results justi-
fy their installation.
Most OF the h~ouseholders, accord
ing to The report, who formerly paid
from $14 to SIS per mum under
schedule rates. now pay but $40; 9th
ers, formerly paving $50 to $50 now
obtain equivalent service for $1j;
while those who were charged from
$40 to $50, now consume all they de
sire for $40. ON minimum charge
for a * -inch meter. the smallest
now installed, states the report. is
$40 per annum, and this gives an al
lowance of 500 gallons per day, Il
quantity which has proved fully ade-
quate for the requirements of The
average family.

Senator Jackson is deserving Of all
the praise he is receiving for the pas
sage of the anti-fee bill which abol-
ishes all fees in county offices and
places the sherirfs, county clerks and
surrogates on It regular salary. All
he fee, now go into the county treas
ury.
"Freeholder" in the New York
Press. thus recognizes the work done
by MiddleseX;
death of the Fee System.
"Jackson's salary bill (now a law
is the fulfllmenj of another republic
can pledge. for in its operation the
system will receive its quietus.
Not even the projected law for the
taxation OF railroads can afford a
more substantial boon to the people.
1t ranks in value with the Strong law
for the abolition Of Boards OF Free
holders and serves another honor on
NTiddleseX county. since both Jackson
and Strong were sent 10 the legisla-
by it's voters. The saving TO the
taxpayers Of the state will be about
5000. 600 annually; sheriffs, county
clerks and surrogates will be remun-
by receiving salaries in lieu
Of fees. and there will be a falling off
Of at least 30 per cent. OF campaign
funds for the purchase Of votes.

| The Interstate Accident and Relief
association held it's annual meeting on
I W d
Der of agents from various places pre-
sent to take part in the election of the
board OF directors for the ensuing
year. There was no change made in
the board and the board made no
change in the officials of the company
| for the coming year. The report of
the secretary was something surprising
to the board of directors. They were
prepared to find an increase in the
business but nothing so great as the
past year shows and the prospects that
are open for the coming year are
something better than for the past.
Among the agents present were W. b.
Gislason of Minnesota and Chris.
Arveson of Sleepy Eye.
At meeting of Hecker Circle, one
OF the auxi,iaries of the Grand Army.
held Monday evening it was decided
to give a public entertainment sort
OF campfire-on Washington birth
day, to which they will invite the pub
lie. The entertainment is to be held in
the opera house and people who attend
will be asked to pay small sum for
admission simply to cover the actual
expenses of the entertainment which is
to consist of a program for the evening
including speaking and vocal and in
strumental music. Two of the Mime
apolis officers of the society will be
present and will speak during the eve
ming and the Second Regiment band
will contribute something several
times during the progress of the pro-
gram. Last year similar program
was carried out at Schell's hall which
proved to be too small to admit the
public and it is expected that the opera
house will be filled full on the evening
of the I'D.
