True Democracy.

Eighteen years ago, in addressing
the Young Mems Democratic Associa-
tion in Philadelphia, Grover Cleve
land undertook to define Democracy
as he understood and practiced it.
Now that he has gone to his, reward
and his great qualities have been rec
ognized, even by the opponents who
denounced him when alive, it is worth
while to recall to young Democrats
what he then said. We know of no
better or briefer definition of the true
Democratic doctrine:
Its principles are not uncertain nor
doubtful. They comprise equal and
exact justice to all men; peace, COM
merce and hence friendship with all
nations-entanglin alliances with
none; the support of State govern
ments in all their rights; the preser-
walton of the General Government in
its whole constitutional vigor; jeal-
Gus care of the right of election by
the people; absolute acquiescence in
the decisions of the majority; the SUI
premacy of the civil over the military
authority; economy in the public ex-
penses; the honest payment of our
debts and sacred preservation of the
public word; the encouragement of
agriculture and commerce as its hand
maid, and freedom of religion, free
dom of the press and freedom of the
person.

How to Secure Flaky Pie Crust.

One housekeeper noted for her faky
pie crust, which is never heavy nor
soggy at the bottom, attributes her un-
varying success to the fact that she
never puts pie fiat on table when
removed from the oven. She takes it
from the pan and rests it upon a wire
screen. elevated so that air gets at the
pie from all sides. The pies cool so
quickly that there is little or no danger
Of their becoming steamed or soggy.
Never put pie away until it is per-
fectly cold and then do not place in
the refrigerator or its fakiness will be
ruined.

URGE FORT TO SIGN TROLLEY
FREIGHT BILL.
Farmers Claim Law Would Deyelope
Line Building Into Sparsely
Settled Sections.

Farmers from all over the State to
the number of $50 appeared before
Governor Fort last Tuesday and for
an hour bombarded him with reasons
why he should approve of the bill i'm
troduced by Senator Gaunt, authoriz-
ing trolley companies to carry freight
and express matter without restriction
except in cities exceeding 10000 popu-
lation, where the officials may desig-
nate the hours during which trolley
freight cars may not be operated.
The agriculturalists were headed
by John T. Cox, of Hunterdon county,
postmaster of the State Grange. Farm
ers from all the agricultural counties
spoke and urged the Governor to sign
the bill. They claimed that trolley
roads would generally take advantage
of the law, and it would be of inesti-
mable advantage and value to the
farmers in affording them a frequent,
cheap and convenient way of trans
porting their products to markets.
In addition it was argued that the
right to carry freight with the profit
therefrom would encourage the con-
struction of new lines into sparsely
settled sections of the State, which are
not now considered paying territories
for street railway investments on a
basis of passenger traffic.
Heeding the protests of Newark and
Jersey City authorities, who are op-
posed to the bill, because it confers
virtually unrestricted privileges,
amounting to perpetual franchise to
carry freight, Governor Fort will lat
er this week give another hearing to
the opponents of the measure.
The Gaunt bill was delivered to the
Governor Monday. He will dispose
of it within five days.

Judgeships Don't Go Begging.

There are just as good lawyers off
the Bench as on it" declared Assem-
blyman Nichols, of Cumberland, last
week, in opposing the bill Of Meyer,
of Sussex, which seeks to increase the
salary of the County Judge of Sussex
county from $1,000 to $25O0. Said Mr..
Nichols: When there is vacancy
on the Bench there are always 20 law
yers ready to take the job, and once
they get on the Bench they write LETT
ters asking to have their salaries in
creased and even go so far as to lobby
to that end. Lots of these Judges
don't earn the salaries they are get
ting, much less do they deserve an in
crease. Lewis, Republican leader,
advocated the bill, but when asked
was unable to say what Judges IN ad-
dition to the one in Sussex county
would be affected. The bill was laid

stracts of fines and amercements from

"A Federal Call Loan.

ngresmanMurdock, of Kansas has
introduced a bill calling upon the
States to refund the money that An
drew Jackson distributed among them
in 1886, when the surplus from the
sale of public lands reached $38, ,000,-
900.
The Federal Treasury holds the writ
ten promises of twenty-six States to
pay back the money they received
from the National Government, and
Mr.. Murdock thinks that it will be
better to call in this loan than to levy
new and disagreeable taxes. OF course
Mr.. Murdock comes from State that
was not beneficiary of Jackson s
generosity.
If this plan should be adopted by
the Congress, it would call on New
Jersey for $764, ,670.44, the amount re-
ceived This advance bears no inter-
est. This money was apportioned
among the counties then existing by
an act of the Legislature, passed Mar.
10, 1887, each county giving a bond
without interest to refund the money
when called upon to do so.
The allotment received by Glouces-
ter county amounted to about $4,000,
which amount was first loaned to in
dividuals on mortgage, and later, un-
der an act of the Legislature, was
merged into the county funds.

to reverse the cutting, making dip or

not cutting down at the corners. It is

Sheriff Payne, of Cumberland Co.,
has come back on county Judge Tuller
for substituting jury list of his own
for the Sheriff's, by petitioning the
Legislature to impeach the Judge for
conspiring to usurp the functions of
the High Sheriff. He alleges that
factional politics is at the bottom Of
the usurpation, and, that Frank Wan
ser. postmaster at Vineland; H. H.
Dolbey, clerk of the County Tax Board
and Geo. w. Branin, postmaster at
Millville, conspired with the Judge to
humiliate him, and that the list was
prepare by the three co-conspirators,
and not by the Judge. The progress
of this contest between Judge and
Sheriff will be watched with interest.
Report is, that the Legislature is go
ing to ignore the Sheriff's petition,

it has no right to loan it to anybody,
because it was taken from all the peo-
