A career bright In promise for fut ure usefulness and radiant with the hopes of loving friends for its suc oess was terminated early last Thursday morning, M.itIi 21, when Mr. Kleinhniis after n protracted ill ness passed away at his summer homu in Blooming Grove, whither he had come some two months ngo in hopes of being restored from a mnlady which had severely taxed his strength. He was of a vigorous constitution active in habits and un tiring in efforts until last, fall when he was seized witn typhoid fever, from this pneumonia developed and mi aliseess formed in his side which mndn an operation necessary, and from which various complications ar-so.

After preliminary study he enter ed Colby University, Maine, where ho took high rank as a student and evidenced much ability as a writer, and was chosen editor of the college paper. After graduation he secured a situation in n school at Baltimore where his pleasnnt manners, faith ful application nnd scholarship bo- cured htm the respect and esteem of his co educators and the students It was his custom to bring a class of bovs here for tho summer vncation and to combine study with recrea. tion. A visit to the camp would make evident the affectionate re gard in which he was held by the youth in his charge. He is survived by his mother, who is a daughter of the late Col. Henry S. Mott, and by full brothers John, of Blooming Grove, Edgar, of New York, and a full sister Berthn, and also by half sistors Mrs. A.

Scott and the National Bank of Port Jer vis, KilGour for the fifth time hie won out in the Cnited States Courts. The decision is a sweeping one in cf feet and divides that KilGour is en titled to redemption of all his proper ty although the time for redemption may have passed. The property is in Passaic nnd consists of quarries and mills along the line of the Erie. '1 ho pnper states it has in-dde infoi ill ation that KilGour is forming a blue stone company of great magnitude. the paid up capital to be at least half a million dollars, and further cnpital will not bo lucking, If needed. It will be a first class up-to-dnte concern nnd will be ready for business April 1st. Mr. KilGour says ho will make Rome howl again in Pike county. Ills experience in the past in the blue stone business, and the fact that he will be president and the controlling power of the new concern, with the amount of funds mentioned at his cull will ensure prosperous times nniong quarry men. All will join in congratulating Mr. Kilgour on his success won by his indomitable pluck and perservanee. He has ninny warm friends in this county who will rejoice at his new era of prosperity and with them the Press most heartily joins. A Disgraceful Bow. A brawl wns indulged in last Sat urday night at. one of the hotels here whieh resulted in officer Wood being called in to quell tho disturb ance. He arrested one ot tho part- les engaged and took him to the lock up but it subsequently appearing that he was not tho actual agressor he was released. During the melee Tom Quick, who with others was present, it is alleged, interfered with the officer or at, least nttempted to secure the release of the party. and for this ho was ou Monday brought before H B.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER. (From Our Hgti!nr Correspondent.) Wasi'-noton. D. C., March 25, 1901. Should the Republicans of the next Congres use the tariff to put a curb upon trusts? Thnt Is substan tially the question naked by Repre sentative Bnbcock, of Wisconsin, when he Introduced his bill in the Uouse to repeal tho tariff on manu factured steel and Iron. Mr. Bnb oook, who is now in Washington, is still asking that question, and he is going to add emphasis by including tin plate and plate glass in h's bill before it is re-introduced in the next House. Speaking on the subject Mr. Bibcock, said: "The Republican party is a party of progress. Its fereat hold upon the people is due to its aggressiveness and its willing. ness to meet problems. Wo have now a now and very sorious problem before us in the efftset on the tariff creating trusts, and we ought, to meet, it, I am certain that a largo majority of the House favors the bill. When the Amerienn tjrotect ive league gave a banquet recently, mil this matter (vns discussed by one or two speakers, Congressman Mof.'all, of Massnchusst ts, wns cheer ed to the echo when ho predicted that changes in the tariff would hnve to bo made, nnd thnt it wns liest to let such chnngos be made by tho friendi of the protective system. I nin not nn enemy of protoation, but I know flint, tho first principle if protection is protection of the i'O'iple. When 1 see American man iiftictnrors in n position where they can chargo the American people what they see fit, and yet can sell the sumo goods abroad for much lower sum, I think it, is time for Congress to step in nnd work a re form. This is tho part of wisdom, good judgement and giod senso, for if wo do not do it, we will presently find that the people have risen in revolt, nnd placed in power a party which is hostile to nil kinds of tnr. iff. I would not nbnte a jot or title of protection whore it Is needed. All that I contend is thnt the pro tective prinoiple, having given a tremendous advantage to the manu facturers, is now being nsed to the detriment of our own people. I do not think tnis should be allowod." Republicans are beginning to reaL ize that Congressional action may be necessary to stop the wholesale disfranchisement of voters in South ern states Senator Burrows, of Mioh., who will he chairman of the Senate Committee on Privileges and elections said on the subject : "The new Maryland ballot law is very likely to bring to the attention of Congress various so-called disfran chisement laws, and open the whole question of representation in Con gress on the basis of men who are not legal voters under state laws. Congress does not desire to discuss these subjects, but, in my opinion, the question will be forced upon ns for determination by the unwise action of some of the states. We have now before os the example of a great state, endeavoring to dis franchise some 50,000 citizens in or der to give one political party con trol of the legislature. There is no fear of negjo domination. That is not the excuse for the law. Certain Democrats seek to control the af- I fair"' of tUe sUte- 8llJ to accomplish j l'iirse to disfranchise a sufHc- ient number of the opposite number It is nothing more than this." As Senator Burrows sues it, the ques tion presents three phases: "The effect disfranchisement has on the basis of representation on the lower House ; the propriety of accepting Senators in Congress who have been elected by legislatures elected after a large number of voters were dis franchised so that the legislatures would be favorable to curtaiu men, and the public policy of permitting political parties to disfranchise a large number of their opponents to maintain their dominant position iu the State." The resignation ot Attorney Gen eral Griggs has been formally ac cepted by President McKiuley to take effect the 31st inst., and Mr. Griggs will, much to the regret of the President and all his colleagues, next week resume the practice of law. Notwithstanding several cir cumstantial stories to the contrary, it can be staled ou the highest au thority that no other change iu the Cabinet is contemplated for the Im mediate, future, Iu other words, no other member of the Cabinet has J announced any intention of resign ing.
