There never was a bettor time

There is a tendency amojig some

The Bryan-Towne stroin of the

The Bank of England ia becom

from its coffers to this country, and
various measures are being attempt
ed to stop it. But it still continnes
to come.
Is 1837 there were only 86 miles
of oloctrio railway in the Union.
Iu 1897 there are 14,000 miles with
more constantly ooming, somo of
which wo hope will bo in Port Jer

Fhom the number of roo klosa bi

world it is evident that the fool-
killer does not tako much vacation,
and gets in his much needed work
all tho time.
The Bushnoll-Forakor-Hanna
combination are all speaking from
the same stumps. This is not in ox
act accord with tho Democratic
"anuounoonnmt" some time binoe
that Senator Foraker was mad and
had cancelled all his Ohio engage
ments for the camxaign.
The Philadelphia .Record says
that tho Dingley law comes thund
ering down tho- line in the soeond
month of its operation, with a de
ficit of throe and a half million dol
lars. What a noise there jnust have
boen in the second month of the
Wilson law, when tho deficit was
thirteen and a half million !
We kkukkt to lo.uu from the re

vae of the Lentorhynchus nssimilis
are also doing some fine work. And
that is tho matter with England. '
Tun leaders of the calamity party
are overjoyed at the slight fall in
wheat hitoly. They are expectantly
vrntchlng quotations, in the hope
that something will conduce to a
further depreciation of its value, so
that they can say "We told you so"
to the farmers. The fact that an
ounce of silver a year ago was equal
in value to a bushel of wheat, hut
now buys only half a bushel, has
knocked the wind out of their speci
ous arguments.
Mud hassupplantod silver in Ohio
It would seoni impossible that sil
ver could have, in the short time
sinco tho adoption of the Ohio
Democrntio platform, when it was
mado the chief plank, depreciated
to the value of ordinary mud hs a
campaign issue, but this nppears to
bo the case in Ohio. Iiie McLean
men are, however, exercising their
ingenuity in attempting to discover
a particularly adhesive quality of
that article for nse in the McLean
machine. ,
Tukke is no longer any doubt that
the "money power" of Europe domi
nates this country. Tho "power"
has boen sending cold into tho
United States, through New York,
Son Francisco, New Orleans, and
other parts, until we now have a
gAi circulation of 150,000,000 in ex
cess of that of a year ago, with a
total circulation nearly 1100,000,000
largor than a year ago. This for
eign "power" is evidently deter
mined to ruin us, if possible, by
J-dutnping a lot of cold in pit us in
oxohango for our wheat, corn, meat
and other products.
The business men of the country
are again exerting tliomselvos in
those States where the silver issue
has come into prominence in tho
fall's campaign. The remarkable
aligning of the business forces of the
country against tho campaign of
anarchy and repudiation of last year
showed that business men were
fully alive to the death blow which
was being aimed at them by tho
Byranitos, and their present activity
in certain States a ttest that they are
determined to lend their efforts to
campaigns as long aa there is any
vitality loft in the f roe-silver fallacy.
A couple of months ago tho free
traders looked ooinplaoently at the
large exportations of manufactures
under the Wilson law, and were
only waiting to point exultingly ' to
the falling off of thoso exportations
under the new law. It seems, how-
ever, that they were wrong as
usual. The first month of the opera
tions of tho Dingley law showed a
larger exportation of 'manufactured
articles than for any corresponding
month of preceding years. So much
for thoir statements that the enact
niencof a protective rovonuo law
would cut uff our market abroad for
Amorican manufactures.
UNFAIR POLITICAL METHODS.
Over in Sandyston, N. J. there
appears to bo dissatisf action among
tho Democrats because the tickets
of one of tho candidates wore with
held on tho day of the primary, by
another candidate for the same of
fir i.
Mr. Smith made a mistake in tak
ing Mr. Cole's tickets and promising
to se that they were at the polling
place. Being a candidate himself
he should have declined any such
responsibility, if for no higher or
any other reason than to avoid sus
picion ;but his greater mistake was,
after having accepted -them, in re
taining them in his possession, or
at least not seeing that they were in
their proper place on the table.
Such methods of attempting to take
an unfair and underhanded Advan
tage of a political opponent cannot
be justiiod on any ground whatever,
and Mr. Colo's friends, as well as
every fair uiindod man, will join in
condemning such reprehensible con
duct. The jidvantago gained will be
only temporary and reflecting citi
zem v.iil not c.iro to trust any man
who is willing to gain his ends by
glaring trickery if indeed it may not
bo called n fraud. Somo may call,1
it sharp practice, nnd condone tlu3
olT'lnse, bnt would th?y trust their
interests to a man who is not above
an act of that character ? Would
he have any higher respect for thoir
rights did they stand betwoon him
aolf and his interests or ambitions f
Wo have no doubt the Jersoymcn
will answer those questions in a sat

THE TAX ON OLEOMARGARINE.
It Hu. ltpnitlti'd In lccrKfie In Produc
tion and In the Number of Kactorlcn. .
The production of oleomargarine
during the fiscal year ended June
30 last was 45,531,207 ponnds.which
was about 5,000,000 pounds less than
last year. The revenue tax col loot
ed for the year amounted to 1,034
129. The total output sinco tho
oleomargarine law went into effect
ten years ago was 50, 953,868 pounds
and the revenuo collocted 12,(569,
770. Tho number of factories do-
creased from twenty-two in 1896 to
sixteen in 1897, tho number of
wholesale houses from 157 to 103,
and the retailors from 4,380 to 3,539.
The quantity exported during tho
year was 3,148,407 pounds, which
was a slight increase over that of
tho previous your. More than half
the entire output was produced in
Illinois. Rhode Island was second
in manufacture and fourth in con
sumption. No factories are located
in New York, but it has two whole
sale and fourteen retail establish
ments, each paying tho yearly tax
of 480 and 148 respectively,
The Stato College Course.
That the instructors in tho School
of Agriculture may have time to
take part to a greater extent in the
Farmers' Institutes during tho com
ing winter, tho short winter"' course
in agriculture in the State College
has boen postponed until March 2
This short course of twelve weeks
is intended to be intensely practical
includes not only lootures and class
room work, but practical exercises
in handling and judging stock, dairy,
butter and cheese making, milk
testing and handling, the care of
farm implements and other practi
oal subjects.
Tne course is free and requires no
examination for admission,
A few weeks ago tho editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miser
able condition. It was undoubtedly
a bad cose of la grippe and recogniz
ing it as dangerous he took immedi
ate stops to bring about a spoedy
cure. From the advertisement of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
the many good recommendations in
eluded therein, we concluded to
make a first trial of tho medicine
To say that it was satisfactory in its
results, is putting it very mildly
indeed. It acted like magic and tho
result was a spoedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in re
commending this excellent Cough
Remedy to anyone afllictod with
cough or oold in any form. Tho

Tho pecuniary as well as moral
and social value of village improve
ment is the subject of an article by
Mr. W. H. Ycamaus in a recent
number of Tho Christian Work.
He snys :
The more rural portions of the
country, having learned that tho re
sidents of cities are inclined to
spend a portion of thoir time dur-
ng tho heated term of summer
among thorn, are now taking mea
sures to render the country village
more attractive, and so more dosir
able of visitation.
If fresh oir, pure as it is possible
for it to exist, is desired, it can no
where be better found than in tho
country. ot only are healthful
conditions there to be found, but
such a degree of quiet as is condu
civo to rost.
Thoso who have ul ways resided in
tho country are accustomed to the
hills and valleys, the springs, rivu
lets and streams of water, the my
riads of plants, nhrubs and trees,
tho rocks and lodges, tho cascades
and waterfalls, the many feathered
songsters that send forth their
swoot music, tlio animals that roam
tho fields, and so are not moved to
ecstasies by thoir sight, as is one
born nnd reared ii) the city.
Feeling this as they do and taking
pleasure in the enjoyment of others
have led to the attempts at village
improvements by village residents,
and, not only that, but to tho gen
oral improvements of highways.
Within tho period of 25 years great
changes have been wrought. Road
sides that were given over to the
growth of weeds and bushes and
unpleasant to tho oye havo been re
claimed, weeds and bushes have
given place to grass, and tho front-
oge of many houses has boon trans
formed into beautiful lawns, having
additional attrootions in tho numer
ous blooming shrubs and plants sot
therein With such scenes as these
in connection with tho great variety
of natural Conditions always to be
found in the country,, afforded by
its numerous roads that run in vari
ous directions, is it any wonder that
drives are sought in the country be
causo of the beautiful scenery?
Then, further than this, by the
general improvement- of the com
mons at the center of towns, by the
laying ant of small parks, the plant
ingot ornamental trees, flowering
shrubs and plants, with correspond
ing changes connected with privnte
residences, towns have been sought-
after for temporary homes for sum
mer.
But the offoct has beou still more
far-reaching.. Residents of citios.of
means, have boen so oaptivhtod by
tho general attractiveness of the
well regulated country towns as to
be influenced to purchase real estate
upon which ha ve boon erected
magnificent residences, aud so many
of the country towns hovo and are
becoming deservedly popular be
cause of thoir summer, residences
and as temporary summer resorts
It has boon one of the gwxl results
of village improvement indirectly
to bring the residents of city and
country into more friendly social
relations. This has had a tendency
to break down and remove barriers
mat- ni one rime were lookod upon
ns impassablo. - If tho feeling that
the better portions of rural communi
ties are of a class ontitled to fully aa
much respect os any in the cities
can bo fully established, a great
good will have been accomplished.
It must bo remembered that thoso
who are reared where naturo puts
on her ploasantest appearance, as a
rule, aro not thoso who go down
ward in tho path of crime. The
continual observation of the gener
al adaptation of everything in na
ture to somo gixd purposo has an
elevating effect upon tho human
mind, aud tho more association
there is with nature the more jiow
erful the influencj exerted. Child
ren taught in their youth to love
tho beautiful seldom become vicious
in their older and more mature
years. ,
(The above article is so peculiarly
iu accord with our sentinreuts that
wo give it u place and urge on our
citii'xiiis its careful consideration.
Why not organize a village improve
ment society this winter and bo all
ready for work in the spring. If
not advisable as a separate org inizo
tion it might )e taken up in con
junction with the Chautauqua aud a
few moments given each evening to
its consideration and the forma
tion of plans for next season's work.
But by all means let us make a be
ginning. Ed. Pkkss.) j
