To accomplish this, means Of course a
certain increase In the use of--not the
eminent. The power already exists; 1t
does not have to be created: the oniy
question is whether II shall be used or
left idle-and meanwhile the corporations
over which the power ought to be exer-
ciSed will not remain idle. Let those VINO
object to this increase in the use or the
only power available. the national power,
be frank, and admit openly that they pro-
pose to abandon any effort to control the
great business corporations and TO exer-
else supervision over the accumulation
and distribution OF wealth; for such su-
peryision and control can only come
through this particular kind OF Increase
of power. We no more believe In that
empiricism which demands absolutely I'M
restrained i~ndividualism than we do In
that empiricism which clamorS for a
deadening socialism which would destroy
all individual initiative and would ruin
the country with a completeness that not
even an unrestrained indiyidualtsm itself
could achieve.
The danger to American democracy lies
not In the least in the concentration OF
administrative power In responsible and
accountable hands. 1t lies In having the
power insufflciently concentrated. so that
no one can be held responsible TO the
people for It's use. Concentrated power
is palpable, visible, responsible, easily
reached. quickly held TO account. Power
scattered through many administrators,
many legislators. many men who work
behind and through legislators and adj
ministrators. is impalpable, is unseen, IL
irresponsible, can not be reached. can not
be held to account. Democracy IS in
peril wherever the administration Of po-
litical power IS scattered among a va
riety of men who work In secret. whose
very names are unknown to the common
people, 1t Is not in peril from any man
who derives authority from the people,
who exercises IT in sight of the people,
and who is from time to time compelled
TO give an account of Its exercise TO the
people.

"A snake story IN to us from the
KowIoon side. A few days ago a brown
adder, measuring some two feet and a
half, was killed by Mr.. Coke, band mas
ter of the Rajputs, under rather curious
circumstances. The reptile was slain
right In the open road upon the water
front, where the Kowloon children are
wont To play, and Mr.. Coke's attention
was first drawn TO 1t by an animal
duel, which was going on between the
snake and a cat. Poor Thomas, with
bristling hair and tail on end, was
gradually being fascinated by the ad-
der, and must have eventually sue

An entirely new design in the con-
structien Of electric lamps has been re-
Gently brought out, the novel feature
Of which Is the entire absence, so far
as the eye is concerned, of all wires.
One-half OF the transformer Is fas-
tened to the underside Of a table, while
the other half OF the transformer is in
c~orporated In the base of the lamp
standard. BY proper transformer de-
sign, 1t Is possible to supply the lamps
on the standard with electrical en-
ergy when both parts OF the transform
er are placed IN above the other. The
advantages of such an arrangement are
that no holes need be made in the table
or coverings for the passage of wires;
while the lamp itself can be removed
from the table when so desired with
out discennectlng any wires.

should act in this matter. 1t Is hard to
say whether most damage to the country
at large would come from entire failure
on the part of the public TO supervise

necessary governmental power in a way
which would do Injustice and wrong 10

preachers of an oppression which would
deny to able men OF business the just re-
ward of their Initiative and business sa-
gacity, are advocating policies that would
be fraught with the gravest harm to the
who country. To permit every lawless
capitalist, every law defying corporation,

HUNTING AND FISHING.
Tips and News Notes for the
Sp0rtsmen HereabOuts.
ny JOSEPH CRAWFORD.

Go to Elizabethport If you wish to fish
from n boat, and anchor near the three
mile %trestle. You will find tom Gods and
cells waiting for your sand worms. Don't
bait too big, and use small hooks.
james Schott fished from the dixie near
the lighthouse, in Newark Bay, yesterday,
and landed siXty-nine tom Gods and twelve
cells. He could have done better, but his
bait gave ont.
James Mulroy and Frederick Bates fishe1
on the eel patch in Newark Bay yesterday
and caught 10 tom Gods and five cells. They
caught the fish on the flood tide.
One of the best catches Of tom Gods IN
years was made by three chaps from Eliza
beth yesterday. They fished at the old crib.
near Bound Creek, and caught 23l fair-sized
fish.
John Messenger, of Bayonne, and Walter
Goode fished off Bayonne In New York
Bay yesterday morning, Messenger caught
1856 tom Gods and three cells and Goode
caught nlnety-eight tom Gods and five
cells. They anchored near Caven Point.
Henry Feinfeld went out to the flshing
banks yesterday and caught four ling and
a ive-pound Goldfish. Charlie Miller took
him out, as 1t was his first trip. Miller
Is an old-timer, but didn't catch a fish.
Five days warm weather and trout will
be biting In the Peaquest River. Reports
from all along its course show that the
stream contains plenty of trout. 1t is a
late stream, and very deep in spots. Ex-
c%ellent fly cnsting spots can be found
around Buttzyille.
Every day am told how TO get laws
passed by the Legislature that would bene-
fit fishing and hunting, and usually those
handing our the advice never saw the State
House, let alone tired 10 lobby a bill
through that South Jersey didn't want.
The best way to get legislation on this sub
ject is to get the Governors ear, as he
is thoroughly posted on the conditions, and
then elect a few Assemblymen who don't
think a man a fool who tramps through the
woods with a gun thrown over his arm
and with a fine dog, or who sits In a boat
