 movement has recently been start ed under Jewish auspices. to defect from Russia and Rou- mania to Galveston, where adequate preparation has been made to receive immigrants and upon their arrival to promptly forward them to divers points in the great American Hinterland ex- tending from the Gulf to the Dominion line, from thes Mississippi to the Pa- cific. No difficulty is being found to find, for all who reach there, refnuner- ative employment at numerous centres. In fact, the new corners are rather eagerly sought after throughout this territory. Galveston with it's system of railroads extending in every direction like the five fingers of the hand is ad- mirably situated as a point of ontry and distribution. New Orleans. Mobile and some of the South Atlantic ports could no doubt be utilized to advantage for the further extension of a move- ment, which has for it's purpose a de- fection of the stream, of immigration from the North Atlantic seaports and distribution of the new corners over the large inland area. where there is not alone better and more room for them. but where they are eagerly want ed and where they would be much bet ter satisfied, than they are likely to be in tho over-crowded tenements of New York and other nearby coast towns. .
 It has been claimed. that to make a movement. as here outlined. absolutely successful. it will be necessary to es- tablish through 1egislation something like a port limitation. restricting the number which shall be permitted to en- other North Atlantic ports. 1t is per- haps not even desirable that such a re- struction be imposed. but ways and means can no doubt be found to make an entirely effective regulation of im- migration which shall tend, not to re- strict but to lead the inflow into chan nels, where it will continue to result in the greatest good to the greatest num- Der.

Queer Potato From Perry County
 iin Exact Contour Of q Snake

What ts perhaps the queerest agri- cultpraf curiosity of the year has been grown by Perry County farmer and sent to The Advertiser by Editor Charles H. Greer of The Marion Stand- ard. It is . potato grown in the exact contour of a snake even to. the head and jaws
 \ It not only resembles snake in general appearances. but 1t preserves the perfect contour of snake. There is no surplus about 1t. It is simply a potato snake, with nothing lacking and nothing in excess. If 1t were covered with glistening snake skin. 1t could not be told from a real reptile at a few feet. rtF seg
 There fs no other reasonable expla- nation of the remarkable phenomenon, except that 1t must have. filled the space in the ground which was once occupied by a snake, dead or hfber-' mating. The potato having gotten it's start, grew until 1t filled out every crack and crevice of the molds made by the snakes body. It is a startling reproduction of snake.
 Editor Greer would probably be un- satisfied with this explanation. He has been waging . hot prohibition fight in Perry County and. he seems to think that the potato snake was given as sign. t.&a

 Huntsville, Nov. 26---(gpecial. ,The receipts of cotton this season 90 far are lighter than for many years past. The estimated receipts of last week were 300 bales, while for the same week last year they amounted to L. seo bales. There appears to be gen eral understanding in this section among the farmers not to sell their cotton. The holding of this crop has made business in every line very dull.

MILLIONS FOR THE ORPHANS.

A magnificent bequest is that of the
late Robert N. Carson, of Philadelphia,
who leaves $4,000, 600 to found a college
for orphan girls. Mr.. Carson was evil
IDENTIFY an admirer of Stephen Girard,
the eminent Philadelphia fnancier who
founded Girard College at Philadelphia.
Girard left $1,000, 900 as a fund for a col
lege for orphan boys and his benefac-
ton has increased enormously. The
college has grown to large proportions
and it has graduated many thousands
of students who receive tuition free.
Mr.. Carson has planned a girls college
upon the lines of Girard College. 1t is
to be entirely non-sectarian and no de-
nomination or church is to have any
control, nor are any religious services
peculiar to any church TO be held III
the college grounds, Girard provided
in his viii that nc %clergymen, ecclesias-
tic or missionary of any sect should be
permitted to enter, but Mr.. Carson
simply requires that there shall be M
proselyting, or reference to any peculiar
%tenets, expressed before the pupils. Blu
the girls are TO be carefully instructed
in the fundamental doctrines of Chris
tianity.
The site for this girls college is

WHAT THE RACE TRACKS COST.

1t is estimated that the cost in New
York of the turf season. which covers
tw~enty-nine weeks, is about S. 600, 900.
The total receipts last year were s4,206,-
100, but this year there win be three adj
ditional weeks of racing, and it is esti-
mated that the attendance at each track
has been nearly 20 per cent. better than
it ever was before. The total amount
of money distributed in prizes last
yea was s2.447, 737, but the aggregate
this year will be much larger. The
seven ace courses of the metropolitan
circuit owe 1900 acres of land and
represent property valued away up in
the millions. 1t is said that the re-
'ceipts Of the bookmakers for one sea-
son mou to no less than s4,OO0,o 600,
and probably the entire cost to the
public Of turf racing ii a year will
reach s1O.oOO.OOO.

The Boss-Ridden Republican party.

IFrom the Paterson Guardian, DEM
The Guardian prints a political cartoon
which will appeal to every thinking voter,
because of a most universal familiarity
with the advertising idea which furnishes
the inspiration. The phrase His Masters
Voice" has become a household word In
connection with the development of the
photograph, and this cartoon will make
an instant hit, because everybody will see
and appreciate the point at once.
Ills Masters Voice. What could more
significantly describe the role J.. Franklin
Fort will have 10 fill If he is elected Gov
ernor by grace, of the corporations which
own New Jersey, and their practical allies,
the Republican political bosses?
When Candidate Fort selected the dis
credited Dickinson, Corporation Tool Baird
ana the notorious Voorhees, to manage his
campaign-a campaign cIouded with false
issues and evasion of the horrible record
Of his party-he made il perfectly plain
that as Governor he would be responsive
TO His Masters Voice.
As long as the Republican party is kept
In power In New Jersey, no Governor will
be elected who will not be responsive to
His Masters Voice. 1t is a hard mas
ter. this corporation syndicate which en-
ploys political corruption to thwart the
will OF the people seeking honest govern
ment. And the Governor elected by this
syndicate must obey "His Masters Voice.

heaped upon him; IL he fails to obey.
quick retirement to private life will be
his portion. TIL corporations reward the
Governor who heeds His Masters
Voice." They neither forget nor forgive
any Governor who fails to heed, and sug-
gests a possible duty to the people as ex-
cuse for failure to obey.
The best argument yet advanced for the
election OF Frank 8. Katzenbach as Gov
ernor of New Jersey is found in the car
tcon which the Guardian prints today. It
does not need a diagram; it explains in
stantly and clearly the relationship which
exists between the Republican candidate
for Governor and the bosses who are man
aging his campaign in the interest Of the
corporations and special privileges Of New
Jersey.

DESTROYING DOCUMENTARY EvI.
DENCE.

1t may be possible to enact a law
to meet the cases of those public con-
tractors who destroy their business
records or otherwise make away with
them in order to defeat the purposes
of investigation into public contracts.
If a contractor is involved in litigation
and his books are necessary for evil
dence to support his claims they are
always produced. But in three cases
under legislative investigation recently
the contractor, when called upon to
produce his records, declared that they
had been destroyed. although the
transactions recorded were recent and
related to important work.
1t was plain enough in these cases
hat the contractors had made away
with their records to prevent investi-
CATION. There is a grave defect in the
law when a man is thus enabled to de-
stroy documentary evidence bearing on
the conduct of public officials, and
some remedy should be sought.

much will be gained. But a strict adj

the lodging houses therein, but the evil
exists to a much greater extent in

tat PAPERS ON CAMPAIGN

The B~oss-Ridden Democratic Party'
TF'rom the Trenton State Gazette, Rep.l
Our Democ1 attic friends do not take
kindly to the statement that the Demo
Gratis, when In power, We're extravaganza,
wasted money, and spent the states
in the inter est Of favored contractors.
They say that they have no apology to
make for such an administration, which
may be true, but it is. a significant fact
that the men who are bossing the Demo-
cratic party today are h same men who
bossed it twelve years ago when Demo-
Gratis filed the State Offices and came to
the Legislature In the majority.
THERE has been no housekeeping In the
Democratic establishment. The same old
gang controls the party n the same
old gang is fighting desperately to- get
back into power. The members of 1t are
appealing to the young men of the State
to aid them in their purpose, but they are
not giving the young men representation
In any department of the organization
where they can act independently and
with the purpose of improving conditions.
For campaign purposes our Democratic
friends are making the most of the find
ings of the Hahn committee, but up to
this time that body. has found nothing
approaching the saturnalia of graft and
misrule that made many successive Demo-
cratic administrations a stencil in the
nostrils of the people.
II new men were back of the effort of
the Democrats to recover their lost power
in the State, there would be no reason,
perhaps, for referring to Democratic
crookedness in the past, but new men are
not back of 1t.

VIEWS OF EDITORS.


Anyon who has closely watched the
exercises upon State days at the James
town Exposition and has followed the
speeches appropriate to the occasions
ought by this time to be favorably inn
pressed with the character Of the several
commemorative that make up the Union.
But among them all no one has presented
his States claims to distinction and hap
piness in moro glowing colors than Gov
ernor Stokes of New Jersey. He recounted
its agricultural, mineral and manufacture
ing resources, its transportation facilities
and the instances Of its inventive genius.
AS he and his companions were whirled
on their way to jamestown the electric
b%rilliancy reminded them that the first in
candescent light was made in their State.
AS they ~telegraphed to their friends they
remembered that Professor Morse trans
mitted his first Geographic message from
near Morristown. The boats in the rivers
and harbors recalled the fact that
John Fitch, of Trenton. invented
the first steamboat; the flaming fur
naces in Pennsylvania that the first
malleable iron was made in New Jersey.
Stevens, of Hoboken, produced the first
ironclad battery in the country, and
Lawrence. cambridge, Stewart, Stockton
and Sampson were names of the State that
adorned the American navy. But, upon
this happy people," said the Governor,

THE STATES NEW sANAroR1UM.

New Jerseys newly erected sana-
forum for consumptives, formally
opened today at Glen Gardner IN the
hills of Hunterdon County, has been
= long time building. and the enter
prise has encountered some m~ortlfying
Interruptions and obstacles, but the
completed and finished building is now
ready for occupancy, and its work be-
gins.
New Jersey has reason to be proud
of her philanthropy. She has provided
on a munidcent scale for dependent
unfortunates. The two great 5 State
hospitals for the insane, the Village
Tor Epileptics. the two soldiers homes,
the homes for boys and girls. the two
homes for the feeble-minded. h school
for the deaf, attest the breadth and
scope of the States benefaction. There
is now added a noble provision for the
care n cure of the consumptive.
All the civilized world is now engaged
In battling, with this insidlous malady
that sweeps off so many Of the human
race, and probably the time is not far
distant when science win teal with ii
as effectively as with other diseases,
once a terror and now almost innoc-
nous. But the secret of a remedy
eludes medical research, and we may
now only use such means as are at
eur command TO prevent the spread
Of the disease, alleviate it's distresses
and effect cure in cases in the early
stages, The institution at Glen Gard
ner will "a or prolong many lives
and do an infinite amount Of good.
