The Rumanian capital, Bucharest, which has fallen into the hands of the Teutonic allies, struggles in its his- tory far back into the past. The his torians declare that it was originally fortress erected on the site of the Daco-Roman Thyanus to command the approaches to Tirgovishtea, at one time the capital of Wallachia. But tra- dition has it that it was built by the semi-mythical Radu Negru, who is supposed. to have flourished during the closing years of the thirteenth century and the early years of the fourteenth. Radu Negru was the first Wallachian prince, and 1t is a point of honor with all Rumanian cities, with any claim to antiquity, to hail him as their founder.
 However founded, Bucharest be- came in time the summer residence of the court, and in 1895 it leaped sud- denly into prominence by reason of an occurrence common enough in that part of the world in those days--it was burned by the Turks. It was, how ever, restored again, grew greatly in size and prosperity and, in the year 1898, was chosen by Prince Constan- tine Brancovan for his capital.
 During the next century Bucharest was in the center of the gerat strug- gle carried on at that time between Russia, Austria and Turkey for pre- dominance. In turn the city was in possession of all three. In the first half of the following century it's for tunes were equally varied. In 1928 it was occupied by the Russians, who, the following year, made it over to the Prince of Wallachia. It was again held by the Russians in 1S53-4. On their departure, an Austrian garrison took possession and kept it until the early part of 1857 Its status re- mained uncertain until 1861, when, on the declaration of the union of Wall achia and Moldavia, Prince Cuza, the first ruler of the united provinces proclaimed Bucharest his capital.
 Bucharest is essentially modern town. Although Oriental in eXternal appearance, it has of late years as stunned more and more the aspect of a European city. Writers frequently have styled it ''the city of enjoyment from the fact that it is the residence during part of the year of the mag istrates and great landlords of the municipalities, and is noted for it's gay ety.
 The city lies on swampy plain trayersed from northeast to south west by the Dimbovitza river. To the west and southwest, it is sheltered by a low range of hills, but on all other sides the land stretches across marsh and lowland away to the sky line, to where the great central Wallachian plain sweeps down to the Black sea.
 Bucharest has multitude of gar dens and multitude of turrets and gilded cupolas, which lend to the city a decided picturesqueness in which, otherwise, it might be lacking by req

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
AFTER THE Big WAR
A Serious Question For Bust
ness Men to Answer.
After the war. what?

After the war, what?
The Democrats and the Republicans
give us different answers. Here is the
Republican answer, summed tersely
and applied specifically to conditions in
New Jersey:
For the short time the Democratic
low tariff was in operation under nor
NAL conditions, just prior to the Eu-
ropean war, the United States Gov
eminent lost about two hundred mil
lions of customs event by the great
reductions on imports under that tariff.
Cheap foreign goods flooded our mar
kets, factories stood idle and working
men in the cities crowded the bread
lines, while all the charitable institu-
tons made frantic appeals for aid.
After the war started the urgent
needs and demands of the belligerent
countries swelled our export trade to
its present large proportions and caus-
ed a tremendous revival Of American
industries. This revival was due alone
to the war. If there had been no wal
and no wal demand, the industrial
conditions In 1914 would have con-
tinued or become much worse, the
bread lines would have extended, the
organized charities would be bankrupt
ed, there would be business failures by
the thousands and eventually a finan-
cial panic.
The Underwood tariff, which invited
all these consequences, is in force to-
day, and the only reason we do not
now feel its full effects is because of
a war which sooner or later must end.
If a Democratic President and Con-
gress shall be elected next month, the
Democratic Party will accept the re-
suits as an endorsement of the policy
of free trade and will maintain that
policy unchanged for the next tour
| years at least. In the present cam
paign the Democratic managers and
candidates rely upon the existing arti-
fetal conditions to blind the people to
conditions which must inevitably arise
in the zeal future and which are clear
ly foreseen.
The people, they say, live in the pres
ent, unthinking. Too many of them
foolishly believe that our temporary
prosperity is permanent and was Gre
ated by the magic of the party in pow
er in the Government. They would
continue this party in power in order
to continue prosperity.
Fatal delusion! They would ignor-
antly invite industrial and national dis
aster.
All of Europe is now getting ready
fer Ale impending fierce and world
wide industrial war that will be begun
as soon as the seas are free for COM
merce, and one and all they nave their
eyes fixed upon the American market,
the greatest of all markets, with its
doors jnvitingly opened by the Under
wood tariff. They will fall upon Amer
lean industries like devouring wolves.
The close of the European war will
be a disastrous blight upon this great
industrial State unless our Government
is prepared to meet it by erecting a
bulwark against the competition OF
countries bent upon exploiting the
American markets and ready TO do it
at whatever cost or temporary loss.

REPUBLICANS SAY
REPORTS ARE ROSY
Headquarters Tells of Conditions In
the Counties.

Newark. Oct. 24.-Reports coming to
the State Republican headquarters here
from the various counties are declared
to be favorable to the Republican tick
ct all along the line. The latest re-
ports received tell of conditions which
make it increasingly evident that the
energetic work which is being done by
organized Republican effort is accom-
plishing excellent results.
One of the counties from which late
reports have been received is Atlantic.
There the Democrats are ~endeayoring
to foment trouble in the Republican
ranks, but it is declared by the Re
publican leader that the county will
give a minimum of 5000 and a maxi
mum of 5000 for the Republican tick
ct. For Camden County the estimates
vary from 1000 to $500 Republican.
Passaic is claimed by more. than $500.
These three counties alone, according
to Republican campaign managers, are
expected to offset whatever Hudson
can do in the way of a Democratic
plurality, with a good margin to spare.
Essex is counted upon to roll up
more than $1,000, and this, too, would
only be sufficient, the Republican man
ayers say, to offset the adverse plurali-
ty in Hudson.
If these figures are based upon any
thing like a correct size-up of actual
conditions. the Republicans have little
to worry about in the rest of the State.
There are some counties, however,
which are troubling them somewhat,
and one is Middlesex. There is a vas
difference among well posted men as
to the probable outcome of the cleo

in Mercer will give the county to the
Republican party by from 1000 to 1900
votes. 1t is further stated that Presi-
