THAT large amount of money is being
expended in politics in New Jersey this
year is evident to everybody. The Re
publican organization has held no meetings
hired no speakers or halls or bands of music,
and has issued no literature 1t has thus
far incurred no expenses. The Democratic
organization has spent very little money
Both organizations have been inactive.
All the political activity and expenditure
this year have been on behalf of the New
Idea organizations. Meetings were held
during the entire summer, halls and speak
ers were hired, newspapers were subsidized
and spaces hired for campaign literature
and cartoons. A large amount of printed
matter was sent through the mails. Rail-
road transportation and the hire of auto.
mobiles and hotel charges cost a large
sum. Senator La Follettes rate for
speeches is said TO be $500 night, and his
week in New Jersey, therefore, cost not
less than $1,000. Add to these expenses
the rent and keep of headquarters, clerk
hire and the compensation of workers and
the aggregate must exceed $25, 900. and
may amount to $50, 900.
Where did this money come from? Who
is financing the Record candidacy for Sena-
tor and the Colby candidacy for Cover
nor2 Who holds the purse of Fortunatus
and hands out the dollars by hundreds and
thousands Who is depended on to pay
the cost of watchers at the polls and run

cessories of an election2

time he was pulling in, for the good of his
own pocket book, $500 per night. He
was pleasing speaker, but there were
many little things that appeared so very
good on the surface that are not so great
when exposed to the light. He made {
strong argument against over-capitaliza

that, in accordance with recommends

question. He admitted that he was turned
down in an election by having his candi
date beaten by $4,000 majority and tried
to convey the impression that it was be-
cause he was not home, when as a reality
the reason was that the people had seen

ONE of the Colby organs has not been
very much in favor of the County Boards
OF Taxation. Whether it feared results is
not known, but it has been brought to
light that Senator Colby has been lodging
the requirement of filing list of his per-
sonal property, hence escaping taxation.
In reply to this disclosure comes the an
nouncement of the terrible fact that Sena-
tor Dryden does the same thing. How
does that help Colby1 The latter is going
around the state blowing loud trumpet
in favor of equal taxation. getting all as.
sessable property, make the other fellow
pay his tax, and whole lot of such ideas,
but at the same time has been lodging the
tax man himself. Consistency is jewel
that some people can swallow without
being accused of robbery.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON
DISBANDING THE COLORED
TROOPS.

The presidents message. in re-
81 onse to a resolution from congress
asking him for the facts which led
him to discharge the negro troops of
the 25th L. S. Infantry has been given
to congress, and it is the most Roose-
veltan of any message that has so
far been delivered by the present
occupant of the White House.
The president uces not mince mat
tiers a little bit and talks about the
negro troops for all the world like they
were troops without any distinction
OF color-aud that is a great deal for
a republican president to do.
He denOunces their murderous as
saults upon the people of Brownsville
in the dead hour of night-without
provocation on their part or expecta-
ton on the part of the citizens. in -
mealy mouth language, and throughout
his message calls a spade a spade.
Our special correspondent at Browns
vile did not give the details of this
disgraceful affair in near so pointed
and denunciatory language as does
the president. He regrets that for
lack of evidence it is not in his power
to have the guilty parties in this das-
tardly attack court martialed and shot.
Not since the organization of the
army, says the president, has it's uni
form been so signally and cowardly
disgraced.

A GENUINE COLD SPELL.

The cold weather came upon Is
like a wolf on the fold" The day
before Christmas eve men were going
in their shirt sleeves and women
were wearing summer dresses: On
Christmas eve they had all slipped
into overcoats and furs; fires were
built in front of many of the stores
and at night they looked like bonfres
and the town had the appearances o.
brilliant illumination. Some peO
pie said that the world had made
quick revolution and they were laOF-
ing under the impression that they
were living in Canada. There has
been no such weather since the great
freeze in 1885. Icicles were seen
two feet long and several inches IN
diameter The oranges still hanging
on the trees have no doubt suffered
severely and sugar cane in the fields
is of course destroyed. No one would
have been at all surprised to have
seen Santa Claus riding through the
streets with his sleigh and reindeer
and arctic overcoat.
Still the winds lulled, the sun
shone in splendor, the atmosphere
was dry and crisp. and the Town was
alive with people and the tade was
better than ever before known.
Today will be a general holiday,
cggnog will taste better, the weathef
will grow warmer. the blood OF the
peaple will be thickened and every
body will feel better for a ouch Of
the frost king.
Fortunately nearly all the oranges
have been gathered and mostOf the
sugar cane has been convertd into
syrup. The cold snap has gipn the
