For encc the “Journal" is not in sym pathy with Hon. Faster M. Voorhees In the controversy which took place in the Senate yesterday, Senators Ketcbsm, of Essex, ami Skirm, of Mercer, held up Qorernor Werts to tho execration of the people, as the chief conspirator in the dead lock now existing at Trenton. Senator Voorhees doubted it. He look the very courteous ground that the Gov ernor had dane no overt act which proved him to he a conspirator, and that until he bad, it was proper not to believe him as rascally as the rest. But it will he n long time ere George T. Werts will commit any overt act that will show to the people his true character. That isn’t his way of doing business. In Dore’s illustrations of Dante’s Infer no appears a human face, calm, majestic, to all appearance the embodiment of truth and candor. But behind the fact is a-hid eous serpent; long, twisting and destruc tive. The malevolent spirit thus repre sented is "Fraud." George T. Welts, as Senator and ns Governor, has presented to the public some of the most statesmanlike utterances that a moral man could offer. He was affability itself to Hev. Dr. Kempshall. He was morality personified In bis recent message. He lias been in his promises a man among men, a statesman among mere politicians, and in bis words he has risen to the highest realms of good government and has carried the hopes of the people with him. But in his acts he has given the lie to every one of bis promises. Look up his record. The only time he has taken a stand on the right side is when the act which be apparently oppos ed would not be killed by his opposition. It there wereeuough votes to paBS a bad bill over bis veto, then George T. Werts would denounce it. But never has he taken any such stand where his power and influence has been final. Every good act ar good word with which he is credited has invariably had a string to it. Werts is the man to settle this whole senatorial difficulty. The responsibility of the whole deadlock rests an him. He connived at it in the first place. He is not a fool, and he was not, and is not kept out of the counsels of his party. He has work ed all Ids political life with the same ras cals that now defy the people, or with ras cals no less unscrupulous, and never once lias been at odds with them or allowed bimsslf in any degree less culpable than they. He was elected by race track money, and he's paying back part of his debt. He was then, be is now, in tho power of the race track magnates and be has never done anything—but talk—that wasn’t in their interests. II wovnuoi M Cl LB WM U|/|IUDVU IW I HO deadlock, If be were morally or even politically opposed to race tracks, if lie really wanted to hava suck laws enacted ] as be tecemmeoded in bis message, bow | long would bs dilly dally with the Attorn ey Uanural’s opinion? It iso't at all binding on blm And if be was a man of moral courage and wanted to stand where a moral Governor ought le stand, be would break away from that conspiracy and from the conspiratirs the moment he knew Its infamous end and object. But he bolds them up, be keeps them organized, he blocks legislation, be defies the will of tha people. Upon the flimsiest kind of technicality he excuses the most anarchistic and revolutionary proceedings that have ever disgraced this State. Tbe only possible conclusion is that he is a smeotb-faced, houey worded conspir ator. He is doing, single-hauded, as much as all tbe rest combined. In fact, tbe conspirators could not have held nut twenty-four hours without tbe concur rence and help of Gov. Werts. Take, by contrast, tbe conduct of a fair, honorable man in that position. Wbal would such men as Joel Parker or Gov ernor Ludlow have done? What would Chancellor Runyon or R. V. Lindabury have done? Wbat would Henry C. Kel sey or Benjamin F. Lee, or any other great statesmanlike Democrat, have done, particularly if they were determined that their recommendations should be acted upjn and that their party should be reliev ed of tbe iufamous gang that has so long dominated it? George T. Worts, is a conspirator, and his position makes him the chief. Ho can end it in an hour, and he flatly re fuses either to do it, or to make such en dorsement as will allow the facts to come before the court in proper form. What A Word Will Do. Byron reminds us that a word is enough to rouse mankind to mutual slaugh ter. Yes, there is power in a word — Marathon, for instance, Waterloo, Gcttys burgli, Appomatox.

Two or three dozen hills, put up in stores, hotels, &c., fail to attract the attention of large num bers that would sec the advertisement if it were published in the newspapers. The sharp bidding of even one person who is at ! traded by such an advertisement will often | doubly pay the cost of the advertisement, i People from ether sections who are look I ing for some particular article, or for stock, etc., often consult our county news papers to see if such things are advertised (especially Bucks county, Pa., people, who are used to seeing about every sale In the county advertised in all the leading papers,) and are surprised at the small showing of such advertisements In our county sheets. By tryiDg to save four or five dollars, the seller often loses ten times that amount. FRENCHTOWN ITEMS. There Is considerable sickness in Frencbtown. The physicians are kept busy.

Werls promptly recog nized Bob. Adraia’g Senate as a “con stitutienal body” at the opening of the session by sending it his annual message through a window, if reports are true he is not now quite so sure about Its consti tutionality. At least it is stated that when the State School Board of which the Pres ident of the Sonate is a member ex officio met last week, and Adrain presented him self to take part in its proceedings, the Governor suggested that “it would per haps be better if he should withdraw,” and the Rump President promptly acted upon tbo advice. The trial of Boss McKane of Graves end, which has occupied a good deal of public attention for the past two weeks, was concluded last Thursday by a verdict of guilty. He was sentenced en Monday, and bis case will be carried by his coun sel to the Court of Appeals, though there is Ijttle probability of its reversal. The evidence against him was so dear and conclusive that even the Sun admits that he was justly convicted, and It adds, what is apparent to everybody, that “ this con viction, and the punishment that follows it, will count m .re than any recent event for tlie honesty of our elections, the in tegrity of our institutions, and the sn premacy of the law.” Like the Grand Army of the Republic and ether organizations, the firemen of the country have adopted a button, which only those in good standing, paid or vol unteer, are permitted to wear. The but ton is of oxydized silver in the shape of a shield, on which is a representation of the fabled phoenix, and ever which is the word “Tucbor”—We will protect. Over 14,060 of the buttons are in use and tho demand is growing. There is a penalty for persons wearing the button who are not in good standing as a fireman or who have been dishonorably discharged. Con gress in 1890 passed the law under which the buttons are made. The term “cuckoos” which has been applied to the thick and thin supporters of President Cleveland in Congress, is very distasteful to some of them, who have very indignantly resented it, bolding the Republicans responsible for fastening the designation upon thorn. Rut it seems that a democrat—Senator Morgan of Ala bama—batli oiiginated the epithet and gave tbo application to it which is now so generally used. It was tn bis speech oa the silver question that the Senator said : — “The trumpet had sounded, the forces were marshalled, tho clock bad stmek at the White House, and the cuckoos here all put their heads out of the bexet and responded to inform iis of the time of day ; but they did not seem fully to know what Ihry were talking about and never took pains te fled mu the stale of 'lie law.” I lie measure in# on ith passage before Congress creating llie new “Washington National Park” briuga into prominence a region of marvelous scenic and natural in ierest w liicli lias licit Ik rto singularly rs capcd that wide fame wliicli lias c«me to its riraja .of the Yellowstone and the Y-meiUlle. Willi that cbaracleristic tlmo liness wliicb lias contributed so much to its success, the Review of Review)!, for February, contains a graphic and richly illustrated article, descriptive of I lie new park, from the pen of Carl 8i|)jIci, under the caption of ‘'Our New National Won derland.” The area set apart ioclndrs some 1,200 square miles, lying about 40 miles eeuthcHSl id the any ef Tacoma and contains within it* borders the high est and altogether in sal superb mountain peak in the IJoiled Stales, Ml. Rainier, or as the aborigines call it, Ml. Tacoma. About this majestic pe .k is the greutest glacial system in the world, about four times ill extent that of the Alps, while ou the southern slope - f the mountain is a wierdly beautiful natural inclesure known as Paradise Valley. The region, lying as It does in the very depths of the great Washington timber belt, has until recently been almost impossible ef access; but a railway now under construction promises shortly ko open up to tourist travel a third great natural park, worthy to aland be side the widely kno'.vn parks of California and WyAthing. Tbe problem of helping the poor is one that now presses upon every community. How to render help without doing more barm than good is as serious a problem as any that coutempaianeous civilization has ta deal with. Out of the hundreds of methods that have been proposed and tried there is the smallest pvssiblo percen tage that bave been successful. There are no msre conscientious or well-informed students of this problem than tbe Rev. Or. Lyman Abbott and Mrs. Josephine Sbaw Lovell, of New York, both of whom out of their long study and wide experience write instructive articles for the February num ber of "The Forum." It is remarkable that both these writers, each treatiDg the sub ject iddependeot of the other, neto the fact that the best solution of tbe subject of praverty, perhaps, after all, is through the personal work of well-to-do people directed with discretion toward the personal help of particular families or individuals. If every person in comfort able circumstances were to make It a part of hi^dgiy to give proper and personal encouragement to some person less fortu nately situated, the whole problem af proverty would disappear—except, of course, tbat nothing can cure tbo portion that lias its origin in a helpless break-down of character or health or botb. —The specially selected segsrs and to baccos sold by J.
