period of his career asked his friend
Irving to sit to him for portrait In
the character In which Irving was

was painted. and Irving, much pleas

it and to name price not too high

the writer can imagine the following
conversation:

great master, Rembrandt, he was sold
out for debt. Rembrandt was sold
out only twice The Butterfly" IN

Irving heard of the sale. Unknown
to Whistler, he was able to buy his
portrait at the auction for a song. and
then In a spirit Of friendly retaliation
he invited the Butterfly to dinner.

FIVE YEARS ago there was contest for
the Office Of Surrogate of Burlington
county in which William P. Lippincott
was the Republican candidate and Joseph
HUFF was the Democratic choice. Huff
had been In the Office about fourteen years,
ten ofwhich were under Republican chiefs
BE had occasion to see many persons from
different parts Of the county and he had
acquired considerable experience in the
dme be had been in the Office. Mr.. Lip
pincott was new man, untried In the
position he sought, without any special
experience to recommend him to the voters.
When the returns came in 1t was shown
that Lippincott was the choice by a
majority Of 1866. Retaining HUFF as his
deputy for a time Mr.. Lippincott soon
adapted himself to the duties of the Office
and proved himself capable of conducting
the affairs In business-like manner. The
praise he has received for the promptness
with which papers are prepared and the
business transacted has been general.
That he Is perfectly qualified to act as
Surrogate Ia beyond dispute. There is no
valid objection to his reelection. The
voters at the primary decided to give him
another chance. and the voters at the cleo.
ton will ratify that action. The contest
win not be SO much on political grounds
as may be thought. William P. Lippin-
colt has conducted the Office as It was
never managed before, even with the
assistance of the Democratic candidate
who now seeks TO be the chief. Merit
must win.

MMLvILLE, In South Jersey, has local
disposal plant. The city is well governed.
but the disposal plant shows neglect and
Is nuisance. The State Board of Health
has notified Mayor w. Fred Ware that the
city must either put Its sewage disposal
plant in proper condition or stand suit. A
disposal plant is nuisance simply by be-
ing in evidence. 1t destroys the residen-
tial value of surrounding property. 1t
is serious obstacle to the development of
section even If the management is ideal
and there is no odor from 1t. But there is
no municipality In New Jersey that could
operate sewage disposal plant without
enough neglect or ycarelessness on the part
of the management to cause complaint.
There is no disposal system yet invented
that is without odor nuisance or at least
without the constant danger of such
nuisance. Belleville and Bloomfield have
every reason, therefore, to use their utmost
efforts to prevent Montclair and other
towns from establishing sewage disposal
plant within their borders on the site
selected by Montclair's mayor. The in
jury done to the two towns would be great
and irreparable. Newark Star.

WILLIAM T. STEcHER is making a
thorough canvass in his effort to be elected
sheriff Of Burlington county, and those
opposed to him are resorting to all kinds
Of means to keep him from securing the
Office. One paper has said that former
hotel keeper, now travelling salesman
for liquor house, says it would be mis-
fortune to elect Andrew ]. Jordan sheriff,
as he would select grand juries that would
indict everybody who sold liquor illegally.
We doubt II any sane man ever made such
an assertion. OF course Andrew J. Jor-
dan would select such grand juries. So
would William T. Stecher. So would any
honest official. But neither Andrew J..
Jordan nor William T. Stecher would
draw grand juries that would indict any
one through malice or without sufficient
evidence to do so. William T. Etecher will
do his duty as sheriff and the Office will
not 60 backward during his administration.
he has lived in this county many years,
and no man can say word detrimental to
his honesty or integrity.

THE editor of the Palmyra Nesos Is again
raising his voice in opposition to the can
didates ON the Republican ticket. A
Philadelphia paper speaks of the Nesos as
"a Republican paper that has bolted the
ticket" This is far from correct. Sleeper,
of the Neaos. Is not Republican. He is
mainly sorehead. and his opposition is
more to be courted than to be feared. He
Ia an open advocate Of local option and
prohibition, and a funny situation arises in
this respect. for he is sending marked
papers with paragraphs against William
T. Stecher to the liquor dealers and hotel
men Of the county, at the same time play
ing for the prohibition vote. His latest
tangle Is controversy with the editor of
the Riverside Press. TWENTY-FIVE years
age" as Sleeper puts it. he sent letter to
brother Torrie Of the Press, in which he
suggested that Torrie get out Of the news
paper field and leave 1t clear to Sleeper.
II Torrie did not acquiesce Sleeper
then proposed to run Torrie out, having.
In addition TO his newspaper. salary
as an employe of the Pennsylvania Rail.
road Company. Torrie declined to get
out and he Is still on deck with a nice
business, plant where he does his own
work, on which he pays taxes. while the
other fellow goes to outside towns to get
his paper printed, thus escaping taxation
on plant, and has also lost that salary as
railroad employee. Perhaps it would be
''of interest to the public" for him to tell
why he left the employ of the corporation
Sleeper thinks 1t breach of confidence
for Torrie to print what was ''conf-
Dental" letter, but we think Torrie is to
be commended for keeping quiet SO long
on what was very despicable method of
attempting to compel man TO give up a
legitimate business. 1t lie pleasure to
know that there are few of the stripe of
the Palmyra Nesos man In the newspaper
business In this county.
WHILE one purpose of Governor Wilson
In making talking tour of the state may
be to give the people sn account of his
stewardship, he undoubtedly has another
purpose, and 1t is to induce the people to
elect Democrats to the senate and house of
assembly.
He has said that one of the best habits
that man can get into Is to vote non
partisan ticket. but there is reason for
doubling his sincerely in making that
declaration. because he has told us that he
has never voted other than the Democratic
ticket, and hopes that he meyer will.
While urging Democrats to stand by
their party and their ticket, he is encour-
aging Republicans to break away from
party Affiliations and from party nominees
