LaFollette and Republicanisn.


A dispatch from Washington which
may or may not be well founded, indi-
Gates at least the gossip at the capital
as to LaFollette. It raises the ques-
ton whether LaFollette is republi-
can, that is, Straight republican,
whatever that may be. Inferentially
it raises the point Of whether those
who approve him are Straight or
otherwise republicans. Platt, for in
stance, or Depew, Spooner. But, in
its last analysis the question. Whether
a man is republican depends upon the
opinion Of the voters. The reverse of
LaFollette is personated by the sena-
tors above mentioned and we might add
Aldlich and Dryden and Dick, 1t no
more. The people have had no chance
to pass upon these senator's repubh
canism. However they have their
counterparts in Datzell, Wadsworth,
Lands, Babcock and McCleary ard the
people passed upon their republicism a
few weeks ago and pronounced it bad
sent all Of them except the first named
up that political stream called Salt
Creek. And yet there are people who
gre still doubtless of that kind Of re-
publicanism represented by Roosevelt
and LaFollette and Davidson, the re-
publicarism that succeeds, around
which the people rally. AS well ques-
ton the Democracy of Johnson and
Falk and Patterson and Douglas. Here
is the article:
Washington D. c., Nov. 10, That
Senator LrFollette of Wisconsin may
be denied admission to the Republican
senatorial caucus is one of the sugges-
tons set forth by those statesmen VINO
are anxious to discipline the belligerent
Badger senator.
Senator LaFollette's course the past
summer has greatly incensed many of
his colleagues, especially those whose
records he has devoted especial atten-
ton to in his speech-making tours.
The chief difficulty about excluding
him from the caucus is that many of
the politicians suspect that to Go SO
would be playing into LaFollette's
hands; that it would make a martyr of
him and give the country the impress
sion that the corporation Republicans
in the senate proposed to maintain the
corporation tone Of their caucus I'M
sullied, even at the expense of weak
ening their party,
The senator's record in the late cam
paign is recounted as evidence that he
is not straight Republican, but as the
folks in Wisconsin seem to think he is
one, the senate is expected to be
dubious about overriding that impress
sion

MARRIED PEOPLE LIVE LONG
State of Matrimony Conducive to Good
Old Are


Marriage is an institution highly
conducive to the health Of both hus-
bard and wife, says American Medi-
cine. Statistics prove that among
married men over 20 years OF age and
women over 90 the mortality rate is
far less than among those who remain
single. Among the widowed and d.
Vorced the mortality is exceptionally
great. Suicides among the unmarried
are much more numerous than among
the married. The matrimonial state
promotes temperance in every form.
Furthermore. the probable duration Of
life of married man of 80 exceeds
that Of his unmarried brother by five
years, and the wife may expect to live
one year longer than q single woman
Of the same age.

Milwaukee Journal and Mining
Stocks.

Stocks.
The Milwaukee Journal is short on
mining Stocks as rule. That paper
advises the people TO be carefulin biting
at the bones Of vast riches-on paper.
We reproduce with endorsement it's
articles:
Don't buy mining stock unless you
really know what it is. You cannot
for moment think most of these great
bargain that are being offered you
through f1aring advertise menas have
any ether object in view to skin" you.
You cannot possibly have such a vivid
imagination as to picture yourself as
being the object of the favor Of these
mine promoters. Il they have some
thing that is really good you will realize,
if you will stop to think, that you
would be the last person to get some of
it. The nearby fellows gobble up the
real bargains.
Just recollect how many times Milwau-
kee people have been swindled out of
their money during mining crazes. We
could mention lot of names of mining
schemes that are associated with ruin
and sorrow. Talk with some of the vic
Tins of those days and be wise in
your day.
We know that most men have got
the g get rich quick faint in their
blood, but you can fight it off if you
will give due reflection to the misery
which blind mining speculation will bring
upon your helpless wife and children as
well as yourself.

Turning Hens.

A good way to turn even hens on
table linen, ready for hand sewing, is
to put the hemmer attachment on the
sewing machine and run the linen
through, without any thread on the
machine. This turns straight hem
very quickly which is merely folded
back when overland hemming is
done; the orthodox henoming for table
linen.

Reforming q Reform

Reforming Reform.
Making good the theory that tbs
only success in reform consists in keep
ing eternally at it, and as soon as
everything is reformed begin to reform
the reforms. Gov. Deneen is going t.
recommend to the Illinois legislature
radical change in the laws of that
state governing the election of mem
bers Of the legislature.
There is, at present, a law providing
for minority representation in the leg
islature, secured by cumulative"
system of voting. Every voter has
three votes for assemblymen, and can
vote three times for one. This some
times results in giving the minority
party greater representation than it
gets under the customary plan in other
states.
This reform was brought about
thirty-siX years ago, at which time the
state constitution was amended. To
re-reform the election of legislators the
constitution will again have to be
amended; but this fact does not appal
the governor.
Under the present condition in Hi
nois there are 81 senate districts, each
one electing a senator, and three as
sembIymen, giving legislature COM
posed of 81 senators and 1853 assembly
nen.
The Recommendation of the governor
is said to be the retention of the 81
senate districts and the formation Of
three assemblymen districts in each
senate district. Then the elections
would be conducted as they are in Wis
consin.
At present it is possible to elect an
occasional Prohibitionist, and an occa-
sional Socialist. Also Democrat
sometimes manages to squeeze into the
legislature from strong Republican
senate district. The proposed reform
will do away with all that; and be-
cause it will, is going to have hard
road to travel, as the submission Of an
amendment to the constitution re-
quires two thirds vote in each house

BIG HAUL
Package Containing Sl8, 4444
Disappears From a South
ern Train
FIFTY THOUSAND LEFL BEHIND
THIS IS SAID TO BE THE THIRD.
ROBBERY WITHIN IA YEAR on
THE SAME LINE -OFFICIALs
Mako NO STATEMENT.

According to an article printed in the
New York World this morning an ex-
press package containing $1S,444 disap-
peared from a Southern Express pouch
between Augusta, Ga, and New York
City. In the same pouch was another
package containing $4,000 which reach
cd its destination safely The missing
package of money was t1rned over to the
express company Saturday last by an
Augusta bank to be transferred to a New
York bank. 1t was sent first to Co
lumbia, S. c., where in the company S
office it awaited the through train for
Savannah. The pouch was transferred
70 the New York train Saturday night.
On the arrival of the pouch in New York
it was found that it had been opened by
the thief cutting through the wire run
ming through the folds dit the top. The
ends had been skilfully Joined, leaving
the seals intact In testing pouches eX-
press messengers pull the two ends,
which are sealed. The pouch from which
the missing money had been distracted
was found to be apparently fastened as
usual 1t had been locked in the train
safe, the combination of which is known
only to the messengers and their helpers.
When it was discovered that the pack
age of money was missing, the Southern
Express Company and the Adams Fx-
press Company began an immediate in
vestigation. Messenger, Moore, who had
the Adams Express run from Savannah
to Washington; Messenger Jordan, who
picked up the pouch at Washington, and
his helper, are active in aiding the Off
cials and detectives in their Investigation.
They have refused to make any public
statement.
1t is said that this is the third pack
age containing money consigned by
Southern banks to New York hanks to
disappear in little more than a year. The
first was a $4,000 package and the next
was a $1,000 package. When the latter
package was found missing another con-
tanning slips of paper cut to the size Of
greenbacks was found in the pouch.

N. c. N. j. INSPECTION


Consideration was given to the advisa-
bility of changing the time for inspec-
tions by the commission appointed by
Governor Stokes to revise the act com
cerning the States military and naval
forces at a meeting this week in the
FIRST Reg ment Armory, Newark. Il
was suggested that June Inspectors be
abolished and that changes be made in
the manner in which the reviews are
made. Definite decision in the matter
was deferred. a
Several members of the commissioner re-
cared that better results would perhaps
be attained by inspections between
Marclfs1 and4June l. Reviews held dur
ing the first week of June and after tina t
are not always satisfactory, it was as
serted, hecause of the heat and the con-
seQuent hardship entailed on the men. It
was suggested also that all inspections
be made by one officer.
The present statute provides that the
inspecting officer shall have personal
super vision of the inspection. The ad-
stability of striking this out was consid-
cred. 1t was declared that the command
ing officer should select the evolutip s
and the inspecting officer refrain from
direct criticism. All these things will be
considered again before decision is made.

FORMERS HAVE
BILLS ALL READY
Colby Men to Introduce
Equal Taxation and Fran
chise Measures at Once
ACT ARE ALREADY DRAWN
AT THE FINAL CONFERENCE on
THEM THE ADVICE OF BUsI-
NESS MEN WILL BE SOLICITED

According to present intentions, tie
Essex-Hudson bills providing for equal
taxation and limited franchises viii be
introduced into the Legislature next
Tuesday, the purpose of Senator-elect
Everett Colby and the Assemblymen
affiliated with him being to place them
at once before the people of the State,
so that there can be had plenty of dis
cussion concerning the various features
of them. Whether both bills VII be pre-
serted in the House has not yet been
decided.
The bill for equal taxation, on account
of its nature, will have to originate in
the House. but it is possible that the bill
for limited franchises will be offered in
the Senate by Mr.. Colby. Such course
would precipitate the entire Legislature
into the controversy, which might not be
desirable, and it may be agreed thaf
both bills should be offered in the
House. In the latter case. one of the
bills may come from some member of
the Hudson delegation.
Mr.. Colby has gotten the equal taxa
tion bill drafted into what viii be al
most it's final form, but before closing it
to further alterations Will submit it to
representatives of the Boards of Trade
of this city and Bloomfield. and other
men throughout the county who have
been identified with the agitation, as Wei
as to George l.. Record and others from
Hudson County.
Mr.. Record, it is understood has draft
ed the bill into its present shape with
the aid of William H. Martin. Sheriff
Frank H. Sornmer,, of Essex, and other
lawyers. Numerous conferences between
them have taken place. but they will not
u6 -ItiuN 10 give lAe lACuSulC Oul AOl
publication until probably Tuesday.
If the business men who have been in
viteG to take part in the conference can
suggest any changes that are of an adj
vantageous nature, they will be incor-
porated. It is to permit of the reception
of such alterations or amendments that
the bill is withheld at the present time,
Came further discussion will be had
on the limited franchise bill also before
it is placed in absolutely final form for
preservation in the Legislature. Mr..
Colby, Mayor Mark NJ Pagan, of Jersey
City, and Mr.. Record have been in fre-
quent consultation during the past few
weeks, and have practically compiled the
bill from copies of statutes in effect in
other States. The conferees have agreed
upon practically the form of the bill, so
that it will be ready for immediate ac-
tion by the Legislature.
1t is expected that measures covering
the same ground will be prepared by
what is called the State House party, Z"
and that these viii be ready for presenta-
ton also at the first session of the Leg
islatute. The fact that both sides will
be prepared to offer measures indicate.
promise that there may be an interest
ing contest to catch the eye of the Speak
er Of the House, who will be Samuel X.
