ton to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable Jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the cir cumstances of our emigration and set tlcment here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to dis avow these usurpations, which would and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must therefore, acquesce in the necessity which de- nounces our separation and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, en- emies in war, in peace friends.
 We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled, appeal ing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority or the good people of these Colonies, splemnly publish and declare: That these United Colonies, are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political conneXion be- t1o1 tot Of Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved and that as free and in dependent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce. and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do. And for the support of this declara- tiOn with a firm reliance on the pro- lection of Divine Providence, we mu- tually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

THE MIDSUMMER madness in politics

now that will hardly provoke smile

nomination and the fulsome praise Of
some of the Democratic papers who had
no use for him in the past the situation
is bewildering to any one who takes it
seriously. 1t is some time before the
primaries will be held and then the
summer will be oyer and everybody
cooled off. Then the people will take
hand in the matter and express their
preferences and the majority vote will
make the nomination.

THE census of 1890 showed a total
population of 81. 1922, 25O in the United
States and the census of 1900 showed
rs, S03,3S7. This was an increase of
20.7 per cent. The recent estimate Of
population issued unofficially seems to
have been made by adding to the re-
turn of 1900 about 20.7 per cent. This
would give a total Of approximately
100000. There are several reasons
for believing that the increase during
the last decade has exceeded the rate
of the preceding ten years. In The
first place there was a larger popula-
tion to produce a natural increase, and
the immigration OF the last decade
was unprecedented. 1t is quite posi-
bic that the annual increase was more
than the two per cent. of the proceed
ing decade and possibly not far from
three per cent. If this proves true,
then the population OF the United
States will reach and possibly pass
l0O,OOO,OOO.

LAST winter there we're ffby-nine
game and fish bills introduced during
the legislative session, Of which fifteen
we're Senate bills and forty-four were
House bills. 1t would require study
to find out which bills became laws
and what effect they had on existing
law, and few sportsmen have the time
or The inclination to make such a
study. For these, as well as for the
public generally, the Fish and Game
Commission has performed a valnable
service in getting out compilation
of the game laws in convenient form.
This book is a pocket edition OF the
game laws with graphic chart show
ing the time when each kind of tiSh
and game is in season. The book was
delivered by the printers last week,
and can be had on application to the
commission at Trenton. 1t contains
all the laws relating to fishing and
hunting, and tits not safe to do either
without knowing the law.

Fart, 1873 years earlier, at the same age,
had passed similar test for the pi-.

At seventeen Spalding was giving

he appeared. The late King Edward

JUDGING from the general tendency
of capitalists to invest their money
where it will bring returns it is sale
conclusion that the men who are fin
ancing the Traction company seeking
for franchise in Morristown believe
there is a general demand for the troll
ley road and enough people will use 1t
to make it pay. If they thought for
instance that the town people would
not use the road to a considerable ex-
tent it would be the part of wisdom to
run around the town and not put up
their good money both now and in the
years to come. This proposition re-
quires no argument and the thing to
do is to get all possible benefit from
the trolley by locating it where it will
accommodate the largest number OF
people. The trolley to afford adequate
facilities should not only run around
the Park but should also be extended
down to Pine street at least, if not to
Elm street, BY so doing all Of the
churches and the Lyceum btilding
would be either on the trolley line or
within short distance from it. Most
of the people in the upper part of the
town do not own their own convey
ances, and the present limited accom-
modations of the trolley add material
" TO the attendance upon the churches
as we'll as being a convenience to those
desiring to attend affairs in the Ly-
ceum. There is no question in regard
to the increase in business that would
result from having the trolley pass in
front of business place. This is shown
by the doubling of rental values
business places in the large cit I
when trolley line passes through .
street. The owners Of business prop
erty in Morristown, with very few ey-
ceptions, add materially to the beauty
of the town by keeping their stores
and buildingsin fine shape, and in turn
should be encouraged by being fur
nished with every possible facility for
increasing their business. The whole
matter is a business proposition and
should be settled on that basis. Util-
NY should not be sacrificed for beauty.

THE statement of Alderman Gill in

no tax in years reminds one Of the
words of the poet:--
o. poor old Robinson Crusoe
What made you go for TO do so ?
Was itacase of quickened conscience
or desire to advance his rating as a
citizen? In either case why proclaim
the fact so publicly and pose as a re-
formed tax dodger? Possibly it YVES
meant for political buncombe, which
seems incredible as it reflects upon the
former Democratic assessor, a personal
friend of the alderman. However,
when it is remembered that the argu-
ment used against the alderman s OPP
ponent last fall was that !" he isn't a
tax payer, !" it is to laugh anyway.

BABES IN THE WOODS.
Revenge and Punishment of Maine
Scoundrel In 1879.

In 1879 James Adams of York
became afronted with one of his
neighbors, Henry Simpson, and de-
termined to avenge himself upon
two of Simpsons children, whose
ages were six and nine years. In a
solitary place four or five miles
from the dwelling houses of the in
habitants he built of logs beside
ledge of perpendicular rocks pen
or pound several feet high, with
walls inclined inward from bottom
to top. After he had built this he
decoyed the children into the woods
under a pretense of searching for
birds nests and caused them to en-
ter within the pound, where he left
them confined to perish. The place
has since been called the DEVILS
Invention.
The children were soon missed,
and the alarmed inhabitants search
ed for them more than forty-eight
hours. The boys, when aware of
their wretched situation, made va
rious attempts to get out, and at
length, by digging away with their
hands the surface of the earth I'M
derneath one of the bottom logs
effected their escape. They wander
ed in the woods three days, being at
last attracted to the seashore by the
noise Of the surf, where they were
found.
The depraved criminal was con.
demned to have thirty stripes wei
laid on, to pay the father of the
children 95, the treasurer $40, be
sides fees and charges Of the prison
and remain a close prisoner during
the courts pleasure or till furthe
order. The same month he recog
nized before two of the judges
conditioned to send him, within
twenty-one days, out Of the juris
dictiOn."
