Succession to Governors Chair.

The illness of Governor John $. Little and the rumors eoneern- ing his condition have given rise 10 many discussions in the last few weeks regarding succession to the governors office in case Gov Little should die or not be able to return to the office. Pro- vision is made by the constitu- ton for filling the vacancy in either case. In case of death of the governor, the constitution provides that the president of the Senate, who is acting governor, shall immediately issue a procla- nation setting d date within sixty days for special election at which governor shall be elected to fill the vacancy. In case the vacancy occurs within twelve months of the end of the terrh, no call shall be issued for q special election, but the acting governor shall assume the duties and remain as governor until his successor Is elected.
 Sections 12 and 14 of article 1 of the constitution provide that In case of. the death, conviction or impeachment, failure to quali- ", resi- gnation, absence from the state or other disability of the governor, the powers, duties and emoiumentS of the office for the remainder of the term, or until the disability be removed or d governor elected and qualified shall devolve upon and accrue to the president of the Senate.
 Whenever the office of gov ernor shall have become vacant by death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, provided such vacancy shall not happen within twelve months next before the expiration of the term of of flee for which the late governor shall have been elected, the pres ident of the Senate, exercising the powers of governor for tho time being, shall immediately cause an election to be held to i'll such vacancy, giving by proc lamation sixty days previous no. tice thereof, which election shal

 Iyz First because 1t k our home. The pride We should take in the prosperity Of our home town and our neighbors should be sui ticient inducement to give them the preference. Second. because beyond all doubt or question, t pays from money point.
 The great menance to the country merchant today IS the mail order business, and with the decline of the country merchant comes inevitable loss to the eiti- zens of both town and country. What at first was considered q great convenience and all eXhibi tion of commendable enterprise has grown to be one of tile cry ing commercial evils. The suc- cess of the mail order house k the result of constant, extensive and intelligent advertising. The home merchant can do no better than to adopt the same method, the 1udicious use of printers Ink.
 While the merchants are the heaviest losers, and could do much toward checking and cor reeting this growing evil, by liberal advertising and publish ing prices. they should not be expected to do 1t all Every newspaper should preach home trade, every teacher should instill 1t into his pupils in the school room, every minister should preach 1t from the pulpit. The debating societies and political conventions should discuss It. The interests of town and country and newspaper and church, and society generally. are 50 inter- woven and so ldentieal that what ever injures one will eventually iaiure all..W hen the merchants are compelled to bring on smaller stocks, and employ less help, and pay cheaper rent, they are lot alone the sufferers; the whole community feels the loss. The price of real estate k entirely de pendent on its proximity to | good town. Rents are dependen. on the amount of business. The merchant can move to some other town and esta blish himself again more readily than can the pro- fessional man and many others who have built up business through years of acquaintance ship and esta blishment of char aeter. If the farmersors property owner in town want to sell out they are the greatest sufferers they can't move their property to some place where people are booming their town and country by patronizing home.
 The remedy lies in education and publicity In many places that education will come through bitter experience, but in other communities, where they are quicker to detect the approach ing evil, and heed more readily the warnings of the press and friends of home, they may correct the evil more readily.
 Wealth and power are corrupt- ing influences and the mail order houses are probably not sending out as honest goods aS they once did. They have learned the tricks of imitation and substitu- tion and how easy is to deceive the public. But, if the mail order man is hottest. and hio 
 methods ol advertising legitimate in every way, his success k of 10 interest to Us and wIll never benefit our community in the slightest degree. Ii crops should fail or sickness render uS short of
 money We could not expect him to trust uS for a dollar We must always look to tile home merchant for credit in times of diversity.

Inspection OF American meat prior to

says In his report, submitted to the

PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS.
New York to Inquire Into Value OF
Bodily Chastise1nent,

NEW YOR -, September 2j.-The question
of corporal punishment in the public
schools brought up at yesterday s
meeting of the board of education and a
resol'- on presented by Mr.. Jonas was
passed to the effect that committee of
three should be appointed to find out If
the abolition of corporal punishment had
been beneficial or detrimental In maintain
ing order. The opinions Of superintendent
principals and teachers are to be obtained.
Mr.. Jonas said that he had been informed
by superintendent that the abolition of
corporal punishment mad had a bad effect.
The idea of the superintendent was in a
way to enforce order by the knowledge in
the minds of unruly pupils that punish
mcnt could be resorted to if other means
failed
A resolution also was adopted authorizing
the issue of corporate stock to the value
of 50 $40, $50 for new buildings etc This
was the result of the report of the COM
mittee buildings that the statement of
the auditor showed that not a dollar re-
manned of the balance suitable for the
erection and equipment of new buildings
and additions and that the committee had
been obliged to have S1,O9O.OD0 transferred
to 1t from the funds available in the sites
account
The new sum Is in three schedules, the
first to complete buildings already under
construction. 81 Cos, $50; the second to erect
certain buildings for which plans are COM
pleted, $6, 4O3, 600, and the third to erect
new buildings on sites owned by the city
for special or high schools. $1,775,Oo0. These
schedules, the report adds. are those ur-
gently recommended by the city superin-
tendent to relieve congested districts. They
exclude all but the most pressing needs.

JERSEYS UTILITIES BILL.
Senate Passes Measure Which It's
Committee Drafted

TRENTON. n. j., September 2G-The
public utilities bill, practically as drafted
by the senate committee for that purpose,
was passed by the senate last night and
awaits the consideration of the house. The
bill was put through under suspended rules
after several hours had been spent In dis
cussng proposed amendments, most of
which We're designed to make the bill more
drastic than In its original form Most
of them We're voted down.
Senator Silzer led in the fight for a more
drastic bill, having fortified himself with a
score more of amendments which he
sprung upon the senate one after another
quick as they could be voted down. He
introduced substitute bill like the
New York law with such changes as were
necessary to meet the particular conditions
in New Jersey. This was voted down.
Among the amendments adopted was one
reducing the terms of the commissioners
from six to three years and giving the
governor power to remove any member for
cause Other amendments adopted provided
that the bill should be applicable to all pub
lie utility corporations. except railroads,
whether directly specified in the act or
not, and giving the commission Increased
powers to compel the attendance of wit
nesses. The amendment compelling the
giving of testimony provides that a wit
ness may not refuse upon the ground of
discriminating himself, but makes him i'm
mune from punishment.

late Russell Sage. containing an immense
amount of the Sage securities, to be opened
