pounds and measured four feet six inches
from tip to tip. The beast Is of a tawny

points and are nearly an inch long when
extended. The hind legs are much like
those of an ordinary cat, but the fore
legs are much stronger. being as power
fun as the hind limbs This is due to the
fact that in killing its prey tho animal

1t is the same old plea 1t has
scared the people off many times be-
fore, but it is not likely to do so any
more. The same argument is put up
! by the trusts every time the tariff
is mentioned. Reduce the tariff,
they cry, and business will be ruined,
mills will close and "a panic will re-
suit. The people become alarmed at
this and refuse to allow any tinker
ing while the trusts, chuckling to
themselves, continue to fatten their
pockets while the poor public suf-
fers.
The people cannot be fooled any
longer. Any investigation New Jer-
sey might make along the line of
insurance and finances could not be
any worse than what has recently
taken place in New York and the
financial conditions there do not
seem to have fallen.
All that these trusts. corporations
and big financial institutions desire
is to be let alone. They are salts
fed with receiving the millions of
dollars that are rolling in to them
and investigations annoy them and
interfere with their system"
The people, however, have ceased
to believe that the country will go tC
the dogs if the trusts and corpora
tions are Investigated. In fact, wher
these institutions begin to cry SC
loudly against an investigation il
looks as if there was really some.
thing to be investigated. Let the in

panies are upright and in good con
dition, they have nothing 10 fear

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Trenton True American:
The Hoboken Observer is so well
satisfied with the manner in which
party tickets have been nominated in
Hudson County that it questions the
advisability of direct party nomina-
tions. Then the Observer goes on to
declaim: But if no conventions are
I to be held, who is 10 draw the resolu-
ions which embody the issues?" To
pc sure that is a serious situation No
platforms. Horrors! We better give
up elections,
But down this way the matter
doesn't look that way Party plat
forms no longer state the issues It
didn't require a platform made by a
convention to enable Everett Colby
to go before the people of Essex
county at the last primary election
and win, and the people knew what
the issues of the campaign which
followed were without reading them
in the newspapers.
Over in Pennsylvania, where in
many counties they have direct nom
nations of their own free will, they
seem to think the absence of plat
forms a good thing, In fact, as the
result of experience, there is a we'll
nigh unanimous sentiment that the
Legislature now in session should
abolish the old convention plan and
provide for uniform primaries and
direct nominations by law. Direct
nominations will surely deal a death
blow to bossism, and we believe that
if the Observer will study up a bit
on the subject, it will become quite
enthusiastic for the .Bierck bill.

least, and he wishes everyone to do

fire company or two in different parts
