BECOMING somewhat weary of the
bombastic self sufficient complaicency
with which the editor of the Hack
ettstown Gazette" a nominal Dem
Ocrat, attempts to regulate the af-
fairs Of Morris county. particularly
the affairs of the Republican party,
we endeavored to give him hypo-
dermic injection of common-sense last
week, but with disastrous effect.
When his epidermis was pierced there
came forth such an effusion of gas
that the proposed injection could not
avail, and we find ourselves described
as one " who in semi-sonambuliSti
mental condition has been holding his
hat under the faucet of the political
pork barrel for years. AS there is
nothing in our taste or religious belief
that debarS us from using pork we
shall continue to round up all that is
possible consistent with honest bust
ness methods and party loyalty. But
we never have nor never will sell out
our party and pose as an independent
for cash or TO procure POLITICAL pork

NEXT to the embarrassment of riches
is the nuisance of receiving circulars
telling how you can get rich by invest
ing in certain mining and other COM
panies. An expert recently stated
that only one mine in three hundred
pans out protitably. Remember this
when you are tempted to invest. The
Camden POST Telegram says "That
the money that has been attracted to
western states by the alluring gold
mine advertisements should have been
kept in New Jersey. Gold mine spec
ulation is precariouS business to en-
gage in at the best ard there is so many
schemes of doubtful character floated
that the greatest care should be exer-
cised before investing money in enter
prises that are so far removed from
home and where the one who invests
has no better or more substantial Sc
curity for his money than the word of
the promoter that there are millions
in it," as Colonel Mulberry Sellars
used to put it. If all the money that
has been sent to the West and South
west to be invested in mines of alleged
precious metals had been carefully in
vested at home, both the investor and
the community would have been the
gamers

The bill introduced by Senator
Hillery providing for the publishing
of a verbatim report of both houses of
the Legislature is a move in the right
diaection. 1t will place the members
upon dignitied plane and do away
with much scandalous talk that now
prevails in regard to legislative action.
If some means could be devised to Sc
cure prompt publication it wouldS be
of greater interest. If published in
pamphlet form as the laws are now
published it would be we'll Oh to 1.-The
end of the year before people would
have a chance to see it. Another ex-
cellent measure would be to have a
rule adopted that all imperfectly or
sloyenly drawn bills should be with
drawn from the calendar and returned
to their sponsors. This would save
much bad legislation and save the
money paid for reprinting them.

New York. Jan. %. -The gathering
locally of supplies for the Kingston
earthquake sufferers will, it Is expect
ed, be discontinued for the time being
at least, and in view of the refusal on
the part of Governor Swsttenham Of
Jamaica to accept aid from American
war vessels it is quite probable that
the supplies now on the way to Kings
ton on the steamers Allegheny and
Prinz Joachim will never reach that
port. Both steamers have been order
ed to call off Port Antonio and there

few years ago Rev. Edward j. Wilcox
found himself in the embarrassing po-

Knowing that ii he stuck to the pulpit

and went into the mining business.
Today he owns mines in Colorado
worth $3,000'0O0, besides great deal

obtain scrap metals on the market
which do not contain lead For this
reason trolley wheels must be manu-
featured from new metals.

On Dec. 3, 1889, Virginia, following
the lead Of Maryland, passed an act do
mating tract ten miles square to the
government, but ii was not until July
16, $780, that President Washington
signed the bill establishing the seat Of
government of the United States on the
banks of the Potomac between the
eastern branch and the Connogochegue
in accordance with the terms Of the
eighth section, article l. of the constitu-
ton Of the United States, which sets
forth that: reg
Congress shall have power to exer-
else exclusive legislation, in all cases
whatsoever. over such district (not ex-
ceeding ten miles square) as may by
cession of particular states and the ac-
ceptanee of congress become the seat
OF government of the United States"
This was the article thathad in 17SS
inspired the Maryland legislature to
donate a tract ten miles square, under
which the site of the capital was ac-
eepted by congress in 1890 The tract
coded by Virginia was afterward Tin
July. 1S46l eeded back to the state OF

the United States government terri

in the state that the federal officials
and commissioners might select. The
bill thus passed on Dec. %, 1888, was
