Go away from home to hear the
news holds good in the following from
the Elizabeth Journal" "a fight for
the Republican Congressional nomin-
alton in the Fifth district promises
to be not the feast entertaining fea-
ture of the campaign this fall. The
Morris county men have put for
ward among others for Representative
Fowler's shoes John FL, Capstick, James
McGraw, Senator Hillery and Richard
Williams, any one of whom they assert
will make a strong vote-getter. War
rem county has put forward John L.
Blair Reilly, Prosecutor of the Pleas,
and Joseph e. Fulper, postmaster,
both known as strong party workers.
All are being actively doomed. On the
Democratic side talk seems to be cen
tering about Benjamin HI. Campbell,
one Of the told line'' Democrats, and
noted as campaign orator and untlr-
ing worker for the cause. Campbell
has always taken an active part in the
work preceding an election, and has a
host friends in the county. He is
principal Of the Columbia School of
New York. The leaders, however, do
not smile on Campbell's boom and are
practically in favor Of James e. Mar
tine, the farmer orator" Of Plainfeld
who gave Fowler such a run in the
last election"

"A Word For the Farmer.

u Riley the Indiana farmer who bred
the Boone county white corn, was an
ordinary farmer. not scientific exper-
imentef. Yet his variety is grown ex-

corn states and has added thousands
upon thousands of dollars to the valua-

Arrnitage, the author of several
works on horses, including one bear
ing the suggestive title, How to Feed
the Horse, Avoid Disease and Save
Money" says: "Bran will be found on
analysis to contain from IA to 10 per
cent of azotised matter, equal in fact
to barley and oats. In nutrition, now
ever, it is inferior to oat straw. 1t is
very indigestfble,5 and in consequence
does not furnish Its beneficial ingredi-
ents to the system"
Every horseman of experience knows
that IT is impossible to have hard work
on bran and hay and that the horse SO
fed Is soft. sweats easily and pro
fusely and soon becomes fatigued. The
racing trainer and the bunting man
will have nothing to do with bran as a
food. Irrational Stockmap,,

IT is a trite saying that the best
preserver of peace is preparation for
war. This seems to hold good in the
financial situation in this country, as
the announcement is made from Wash
ington that the officers of the Treas
ury Department think there is little
likelihood of a necessity for resort to
the Aldrich- Vreeland law permitting
the issue of emergency currency by
national banks. The outlook is for
easy conditions during the customary
strain of the crop-moving season. The
banks are well supplied with currency
to meet the needs of the business
world. Money is cheap, and there is
plenty of it.
Precisely: Such are the effects of
the passage of the law. They were
predicted during the discussion attend
ing the efforts to pass it. The wisdom
of those who advocated the law is JUS
titled. The Brooklyn Eagle said the day
of its enactment that the chief value
Of the law would be in its existence.
Those who sturdily commended for it's
enactment scarcely expected to see it
resorted to In practice The mere fact
that it is of public knowledge that on
the slightest indication of strain the
government can put out to the banks
in the various sections of the country
$500, 900, 900 of emergency currency put
away the fear of scarcity. The as
surance that the. business OF Che doun-
try can secure all the moneyait reason
ably requires ends apprehension. The
boarding of currency ceases in the
knowledge. There is no longer an in
centive to boarding either upon the
part of the public or of the banks. The
demand of depositing banks of the in
terror on those of the money centers
receiving deposits are reduced thereby
to a minimum, Money under the cir
cumstances becomes easy and interest
rates are maintained at reasonable
Figures. ''HftS =
1t is the old, old story. If we can
get the money we think we may want,
we don't want it. If we cannot, then
we must have it. With 100000, 900
ready for circulation nobody will hoard
currency and what we have will be in
easy and free circulation. Thus we
| have the first beneficial effect of the
| Aldrich-V IRELAND law.

!. Machinery For the House.


While the farmer is buying machin-
cry for the farm he should not forget
that the good housewives work may
be lightened by some up to date ma
chimes and conveniences. The old dash
churn should be relegated to the gar
ret to be kept as relic Of the hard
ships of the farmers wives Of the past
The very best washing machine on the
market should obe purchased. BY all
means water should be brought into
the kitchen. There are now many
ways to do this, any of which will be
better than the old way of carrying
it in. A bathroom is needed worse, II
possible, on the farm than in town
and the expense Of fitting one ur need
not be very great.-W. d. linn in Ma

bed. Well Ito the witness) how is it

The PROJECT of holding a summer
school this season in connection with
the proposed Craftsman Village at
Morris Plains has been given up.
There were so many delays In getting
title to the tracUs that there was no
time to put in the necessary water
plant before the date set for the open
ing of the school Some of the tracts
which it was planned to use have not
as yet had title passed. With the ex-
ceptiOn of Mr. Stickley' sown residence
it is not probable that much will be
done for some Weeks az least.

THE Civic Association has placed a
number Of waste paper boxes about the
town for the reception of the rubbish
that has heretofore been thrown into
the streets, making them very untidy
In spite Of the efforts Of the man en-
ployed to keep the streets clean. 1t is
to be hoped that everybody will have
enough civic pride to cooperate in this
matter and make the town beautiful,
The merchants Of the town could dc
much in this respect il they would
prevent the throwing of rubbish about
their back doors, as it is often blown
or carried to the streets.

SMITHS OPINION OF BRYAN.

The Denver correspondent Of the
Brooklyn Eagle" on Monday writes
Ex-senator James Smith, OF. New
Jersey, arrived in Denver this morn
ing and at once sought his friends,
Judge Parker and William f. Sheehan.
Smith perhaps is the most pronounced
anti-Bryan Democrat here.
Later this morning there was con-
ference of the leaders opposed to
Bryan, when the situation was can
vassed with a view considering the
chances of turning the Bryan victory
into an eleventh hour defeat. After
Smith had heard what Parker, Shee-
han and the others had to say, he
threw up his hands.
1t is remarkable situation, = said
ex Senator Smith to the Eagle" cor
respondent. "The convention is about
evenly divided between the sincere
supporters of Bryan and those who are
against him. But the latter are afraid
to vote for their honest convictions, so
Bryan's nomination is assured. have
seen the heads of three big delegations
to-day. Every one of them is against
Bryan, but they all intend to vote for
his nomination.
II think grave mistake has been
made by the New York men in at
tempting to modify the Bryan plat
form. The Nebraskan should be per-
mitted to have his way in everything
platform and ticket"
ut may be necessary to advertise
for candidate for second place in the
want columns of the newpapers,' said
Smith. "What is wanted is nonen-
tity of some sort. The fact is New
York is looking for man to put up
for Vice President who will not impose
any obligations on the organization in
the way of contributing campaign
fund.

announcement is made from Pittsburg
that $4,000 idle workman we're practic-

men will return to labor in the mining

And the employers face a fact remark

In view Of the effort now being made
to do away with the voting machines
1t may be well to call to mind the re-
port of a special committee to the leg
islature last winter, consisting of S en-
ators Wakelee, Lee and Hillery, who
said in part, In relation to the ma
chimes:
I" In the interest of independent vot-
ing we suggest that the party levers
be abolished and the choice Of each
candidate shall be indicated by the
moving of the candidate pointers.
There should not be two meth DDS
of voting in the same municipality
and the municipalities using machines
should be entirely equipped The ma
chimes should be located in the more
populous centres and should, when
once located, be not subject to remov-
AL. There should also be ample and
impartial instruction to voters, and a
broader understanding Of the mechan-
ism Of the machines on the part of
those officials who have to do with
theiruse. We also find that the paper
ballots now used in this state are, with
perhapssa single exception, theSmost
unsafe, the fartEest removed from a
secret ballot and the most easily ma
nipulated in the interests of fraudu-
lent voting Of any paper ballot in use
in any northern state"
