SO far the special Senate committee

the disclosures made have rather

start. 1t has not been Well advertised, at
least in those sections of the country from
which alone it could hope to obtain a
profitable patronage. 1t was projected as
a national institution with a historical
motive of large interest, but rarely do we
hear it made a topic of conversation, and
anything that isn't talked about cannot be
regarded as possessing a large measure of
public interest. Its principal value has
been as IN object lesson, a demonstration

Looking for an American Hero.

Looking for an American Hero.
The well-bred American is a type of a
universal man. Put him in London, put ON
him a monocle and hitch to his name a
title and you nave a well-bred Englishman.
Take your Englishman, knock off his mon
ocle, amputate his title and drop him into
Washington, and you have a well-bred
American. Good breeding lifts up an ar
bitrary standard. b person who does
not measure up to it is not well-bred. All
persons who measure up to it are alike be-
cause they toe the same line.
Probably Mrs. Glyn would be nearer
the light II she said she came to get an
American Suggesting for a hero. Stage
settings, or, backgrounds, vary widely, and
some persons confuse the diversified
scenery with the heroes. Upon examina-
ton, however, 1t will be found that the
difference in heroes of Ahe same grade,

real.-Louisville Courier Journal.

In the rural districts those who assume to speak for you,
Mr.. Katzenbach, say that you are a sturdy champion OF the
American Sabbath and that you would use all your power as
Governor to prevent its Dissertation. In Liberal" communities
your 1eutenants point to the fact that Sunday liquor selling
was not suppressed in Trenton while you were Mayor of that
city, and that is held to be the best kind of proof IS to your
attitude. Surely you cannot be ignorant that such is the case
And as an honest and honorable man you don't want to get
votes on false pretences. Like the self-respectng gentleman that
you are, the devious tricks of the petty politicians must be abb

straddle and cary water on both shoulders. He one thing or
another. And do your own choosing.

So far as Candidates Katzenbach and Fort are concerned,
those who stand closest to them, those who have had al oppor-
tunity to study and weigh their characters, those who have had
"a chance to know them as men and citizens, are willing to
vouch for either of them vetoing any law that comes before
them that will open the drinking places of this State any part
of Sunday, or any law that in any manner does away with
the protection which the laws of our State throw around the
|sanctty of the American Sabbath. -Hunterdon County Democrat.

Candidate Katzenbach is pounding the evidences of Repub-
|ican misrule into the heads of his auditors with conmendable
diligence, and that whatever force the so-caned excise issue may
have had at the outset of the campaign is being rapidly OBJ
secured in the greater issue of honest government and the aboli-
ton of graft. Every day it becomes more apparent that the
voters of New Jersey are not going to be blinded by a false
issue and that the Republican party will be tried at the polls
next November on its record as laid bare by the Hahn Inves-
4hgating Committee.-Asbury Park Press.
No, the excise issue isn't being obscured, and it won't be
until Candidate Katzenbach declares himself. When he does
that we'll know where both candidates stand, and we can pass
along to the consideration of other matters. The quicker we get
the liquor question shunted the sooner can we concentrate pub
lie attention on the various reforms needed in Our State gov
erDment.

Justice the official organ of the liquor dealers of New

"Mr. Katzenbach has thus far remained silent on this all
important factor, but we have excellent reason to believe he
will go o n record in no uncertain manner in the near future.
A gentleman prominent in the councils of the party and be-
lieved to be in the confidence of Mr.. Katzenbach said his at
dtude would be favorable, and cites Mr.. Katzenbach's record

In spite of the law and the court, and in spite OF the
popular sentiment of this State, the schemers who have long
been plotting to take the potable waters of New Jersey over to

plans will inevitably miscarry.

Tangier, Jan. 7.-Zinat, Raisuli's
stronghold, was virtually destroyed by
fire and fell into the hands of the
troops of the sultan at noon Sunday,
after a short and almost bloodless
fight. Raisuli and his 700 followers
succeeded in escaping to the noun
tains, despite the elaborate prepara-
tions of War Minister Gabbas.
No firing took place last night, but
at 10 o'clock this morning the artillery
opened on the town. The Moorish
gunners showed utter incapacity in
handling their guns and the infantry
fired haphazard. Two shells dropped
inside for fortress without reply and
thereupon body Of the sultan's troops
charged, shouting, and reached the
walls amid desultory shots from the
surrounding brush.
The town gates we're open, but there
were no occupants of the place except
10 prisoners, among whom were four
Portuguese.
A detachment Of the government
troops continued firing in the direction
of the mountains where Raisuli and
his followers were observed fleeing.
Meanwhile the other government
trops pillaged the stronghold.
No fatalities in the fighting Sunday
were reported. 1t is thought probable
that the Raisulites carried off their
dead.

1y before noon in the Fourth Street
National bank, killed Cashier William
q. Mclean and the bomb thrower
About 10 clerks were injured. Two Of
the latter may die.
Fire started and a panic occurred
the district being crowded at the
time. The interior Of the building
was entirely wrecked. The police i'm
mediately threw heavy guard
around the scattered cash and securi
ties. One of the most seriously In
jured was William Krupp, negro port
err. His face was half blown away and
his eyes blown out. T. A. HOsbach
was so badly burned it is believed he
will die.
The Internal machine was carried
into the presidents Office by tall,
thin man, evidently a Russian. He
told President Rushton a story of
poverty IN a rambling fashion and
wanted to borrow $4,000 on an insur-
ance policy. Rushton didn't like his
appearance, and said: "Wait until l
get through my routine work and l
will see what / can do for you" The
colored porter was called and usher
ed the man to the outer offices. He
stood near the cashiers office and
placed a package he carried on the
floor watching it in silence. A ter
rifle explosion followed. McLear and
the stranger were blown almost to
pieces and the porter fell writhing on
the floor. Throughout the other parts
Of the bank employees and officials
were bleeding from wounds caused by
flying glass, portions of the bomb and
fixtures. Ambulances and patrol
wagons soon arrived and police and
firemen restored order.
President Rushton says the man
gave his name as G. e. williams, and
said he lived in the suburbs. An in
ventory, completed in half an hour,
showed ali securities and money in

HILL-HARRIMAN MAKE PEACE
Northwest Railroad War May Be
Settled.

The Portland Oregonian says:
Negotiations are on between Hill
and Hartman, and their differences
in the northwest have practically
been settled. w. w. Cotton, general
counsel of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company, last night ad-
mitted that representatives of the
companies have been negotiating, but
he had not heard whether any final
conclusions had been reached. From
the progress of the negotiations, how
ever, and reports from Seattle, which
would indicate that the local end of
the agreement at that place had been
concluded, there seems to be little
doubt that the Hartman and Hill in
terests will conclude their animosity
in the northwest
If any agreement has been reached
1t means that Hill is to have unob-
structed entrance into Portland and
an opportunity to acquire adequate
terminal facilities, that Hartman
will receive similar treatment in Sc
attic from the hands of Hill, and prob
ably that the railroad rate war along
the north bank of the Columbia river
will cease.

down.
Terry McGovern, once the worlds
greatest featherweight fighter, win
ner of 127 battles in the roped arena,
is dethroned. He is a physical, men
tai and financial wreck, and confined
in sanitarium at Stamford, Conn,
with little prospect of recovering. His
friends are planning an enormous
Square Garden on the evening of jan
uary %, 1907.
Cans walked off with the purse. He
had 1T before he went into the ring,
but still many put up good coin to see
him get it,
Jim Jefferies may become as bad as
Bob Fitzsimmons about retiring from
the ring. Jim came out positively
with statement that he could not be
induced to fight again. Then he comes
out with the announcement that he
will fight for 100000 to win, lose or
draw. Who wouldn't?
Dan Kelly, the Oregon sprinter who
established the worlds amateur rec
ord in the 100 yard dash at Spokane
last June, has decided to go to the
jamestown exposition with the Multi
nomah club of Portland.
Coach Warner of the Cornell foot
ball team declared recently that he
was in favor of having IL men COM
prise football team, says an Ithaca,
NJ Y, dispatch. He said he had found
1t difficult under the new rules this
season to formulate plays with IL
men and that he was convinced that
better game could be played with
IL men.
Seattle is out of the Coast league as
far as the Seattle end of it is concern
ed. Unless the league sees fit to con-
test for the territory the Seattle team
this year will be managed by D. E.
Dugdale, and will be in the Northwest
ern league, while Russell Henry Hall
takes charge of Butte in the same lea
que.
While Saturdays exhibition of Rug
by between the Stanford and Victoria
teams at Seattle was dismal fail
ure from financial point of view, as
an exhibition of football it was very
fair, although the light Victoria team
was outclassed by the collegians. The
score was II to in favor of Stan
