A Oood Investment.
By request of the officers ot the New
Orange Industrial Association, ou Thurs
day February, 10 1898, in company with
several gentlemen, I visited New Orange;
I was well pleased with the location and
general outlook of the enterprise. The
land is mostly rolling and dry. Some
improvements have been made, some
streets and avenues graded, a new rail
road has been built through New Orange
connecting with the Jersey Central and
, Lehigh Valley railroads. Oround has
i been broken for a large building to be used
1 for a factory near the New Orange rail
road and a second one has been staked
out. The lumber is on the ground for the
erection of these buildings. Several new
houses have been built and some more
are tinder way. Every thing indicates of
coming activity and building.
The site for the Upsolo College and
: City hall are very fine. In regards to the
tax on real estate I was shown some tax
| receipts by an old-time farmer of New
i Orange which disclosed the fact that the
| tax is less than one per cent, and I would
consider my investment at New Orange
j good.

MAINE REPORT ON THE WAY,
With or Without Spain's Approval the
President Will Soon Take Action in
Behalf of Cuba.
'■Tliero ifl n lull before I lie storm,'' and
yet there have been fully HH many expres
sions of hope that, alter nil. there may be
no storm, no disturbance of the peace of
the world. Nevertheless, anxiousdeliber
ation and apprehension of a crisis seem to
characterize the thoughts and utterances
of all public men on Capitol Hill, (every
body now under stands that the publica
tion of the verdict of the Naval Court of
Inquiry will cause temporary excitement
no matter what thai verdict may be; and
yet, all public men express the opinion
that the administration is prepared for
any emergency that may arise.
Advance publications concerning the
findings of the Naval Court are pronoun
ced by officials of the Navy Department
to be absolutely worthless speculatians.
There is not an ollicer on the Naval Board
nor an employe engaged in th» work, who
would divulge the findings; not one who
would be ;i bribe-taker. Consequently,
the guess-work special dispatches which
piratical newspapers have placed before
their readers deserve no credence.
The same unbridled imaginations might
as successfully have written out the find
ings of the court as soon as it assembled.
Naval officers indignantly declare that
such publications are wilful insults to the
brave men who have diligently, faithfully
and honorably conducted their work at a
time and under circumstances which made
them feel that they might be taking their
lives in their hands as surely as though
they were going into battle for their coun
try, Such men, American sailors, are
discredited by false publications, but hon
orable citizens must know that such pub
lications are dishonorable only to the pub
lishers of falsehoods.
The men throughout the country who
want hasty action will be disappointed.
Not a movement will be made by the
President nor by any member of the ad
ministration until it is perfectly sure that
there is no mistake being made. While
this liepublic has a superior population,
superior resources and financial standing,
we have not a navy which will warrant
any swaggering or bullying " before the
nations of the world. Whether thi> is
humiliating or not. it is a fact which will
not be overlooked by those who are
charged with grave responsibilities.
Whenever the pence ol the world is dis
turbed and this nation may be. involved,
we may not expect any foreign nation to
invade our shores, because every sagacious
military man knows that on land we
1 would be invincible.
Therefore, when there shall be war it.
will be on the ocean, and this countrv is
not prepared forall |>ossible contingencies
in that direction.
(Icntlemen who reside in Washington
know that the personal relations between
William McKinley anil Thomas li. Reed
have not been friendly for many years
Consequently it is regarded a* an exceed
ingly significant fact that thev are now on
friendly terms. This shows to conserva
tive observers that the President desires
to have an understanding with Speaker
Reed concerning future action in :i grave
emergent).
There must be a complete lujrniony be
tween the executive and legislative
branches of the government. Speaker
! Reed on Sunday afternoon announced
that the Congress is prepared to act in
harmony with the President and his visit
to the White ITonse to-da\ confirm" liis
utterance.
