V, ARCHIBALD (1. SMITH, o| I.AMliKKTVII.I.K FOR MHKRiPF, OKOROK !•'. GREEN, OK KI.FMINOTON. ARCHIBALD G. SMITH. The Democratic* papers want to know who is Aichihald (i. Smith, and is his company connected with the trust? The insinuation is uncalled for and worse than falsehood. Mr. Smith is tlu* secretary, treasurer, business manager and traveling salesman for the William Smith iV Son’s Co., which is not a trust nor connected with one. It is worthy of note that throughout tilt* whole of the past year they have furnished woik lor their employes up to the full capacity, and they take good cure of them. The same papers are working them selves up into something of a fever by saying that falsehood and mis representation is being used against Mi. John J. Mathews, hut they fail to say in what respect or to deny any statements which are made. Why don’t they come out in a tail and man ly manner and it anything untrue is stid deny it? THE TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS. The Hryan papers continue to re peat the oh denied statement that the t.mft protei ts the ti lists. They ignore the tundurd Oil, although the product ii entirely independent of any taiiff reg ulation. And pel haps the next greatest trust is the so-called Steel trust. Hut in this respect attention has recently been called lo the fact that if there is any truth in it, that the trust is benefitted by the tariff, it is more than true that i! the tariff was reduced and if the trust could reduce its prices to correspond the numerous small independent steel plants throughout Pennsylvania could not exist under such circumstances, and the direct result of a lowering of the tarifl to this extent would be to drive all the independent concerns out of business, and then the steel trust would have absolute control of the same. AN IDEAL PRESIDENT. I In lollowing editorial Ironi “Judge" seems woilliy ol repetition: "Kvcry day there is something to add to our sum mary ol a week ago. Keen the Presi dent is now drawn into the whirlpool, lie makes certain statements ol a very detinue character about Governor Has kell, ol Oklahoma. iSovernor Haskell retorts with the more or less direct < laim that the President is guilty of lalsehood. licarst brings charges against nearly everybody of importance. Ilryan has little lime between new personal accusations and defense ol Ills immedi ate retainers to devote to questions of national policy. Cannon wants to know where Ihyan got it. I'nhuer comes out with new charges against Bliss and Cortelyou In the midst ol it all stands Tali, securely loundalioned on his own past record, discussing the questions which t!ie public really wants discussed, evading nothing which seems to need elucidation, and through it all smiling a smile which makes every member ol his audiences want to shake his hand just lor the sake ot Iriendly personal contact We repeal it, we are glad he is the man who gets our vole I" After this campaign is over, Bryan may discover that there is an art of well tuned reticence. It is fail to remember that the bat teries ol the White House are tired lor the wellare ol all the country. Official figures show that more than 50,000 idle freight cars were pul to work in the closing fortnight of September. The wage-earners of the country are not alarmed about the guarantee ol their deposits. What they desire is the guarantee of earning those de|H>sils and Republican policy toward Ameri 1 can industries affords the guarantee. — It has always taken a thorough course of Republican treatment to remedy the effects of a single dose of Democratic cure-all. SMITH vs. MATTHEWS. A misrepresentation seems to be the stock in trade of Democratic politi cians. Hunterdon County is no ex ception to the rule in this respect, al though there is probably less need of it here than in almost any County in the State. In fact it is no more neces sary than filth is to clean living. This sort of campaigning generally indicates that the party which resorts to it is alarmed by the prospect of the defeat of one or more of its candidates. That seems to be the condition of the Dem ocratic leaders and the promoters of campaign literature in this county at this time. A notable instance ol the determina tion of the Democrats to win by foul means if they cannot win by fair are the attacks of their spokesman ami news papers upon Archibald (1. Smith, the Republican candidate for the Assem bly. One complaint against him by the once unterrified but now alarmed Democrats is that he has been in Hun terdon county only eight years, and that he is therefore a Philadelphia can didate. Does anybody, with as much intelli gence as a sparrow suppose that the Democrats who are thus trying to win votes against M r. Smith would hesitate to nominate a man from California if he had been in the county fifteen min utes il he was eligible to election and they thought they could elect him? Will any intelligent man, Democrat or Republican, decline to vole for a man of Mr. Smith’s character for ver acity and conceded ability simply be cause lie has not lived here as long or longer than Mr. Matthews? Is it not true that Mr. Smith has brought busi ness and employment to Hunterdon county, to the betterment of it ? What has Mr. Matthews done to en title hint to the consideration of public confidence and support of those voters who desire good clean government that Mr. Smith has not done? Hasn't Mr. Smith done more for the business interests of Hunterdon than Mr. Matthews? These are straightforward questions which if they are answered in the same way and if the people want to be repre sented in the Legislature by a man to whom partisan politics are secondary to home interests and popular lights, Mr. Matthews, who ever has been a |«isitive partisan, will lie defeated. As between the two candidates, Mr. Matthews and Mr. Smith: it is as well known as anything in politics that Mr. Matthews was elected in and was a re cognized follower ot the Miles Ross and “Nelse” I’idcock ring and school. Mr. Smith has never belonged to or been under the rule of any political ring or school. He is no man's man, but il elected will be a man of the people be fore being the follower of any man or men. Kverybody who knows Mr. Smith is aware that this statement does not need verification. I hr assertion Inal Mr. Mmili has promised lo support “any old kind" of laical Option, is absolutely lalse, and those Democrat* who are making it know that it is. Mr. Smith is not the man to hedge on what lie has said about I .ocaI Option or anything else. His personal reputation is good enough to stand for that statement anywhere and before all men. Ilis record in Council shows conclusively that he is a reliable man. In bis letter to the voters of Hunter don county, Mr. Smith says: “I desire most emphatically to say that I stand absolutely lor laical Option, and I am unqualified in my support of it—law known as the Ihshop's bill, and would oppose any modification permitting the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday." Could anything be more explicit or easy to comprehend than that statement? Mr. Smith made it, and by it he is ready to stand or fall as the voters, to whom in all honesty and candor it was ad dress, sh ill decide. lhit how alsiut Mr. Matthews. Where does he stand ? Does anybody but him self know? Probably not. but it is known where he stood on laical Option in 1888. The legislative record tells that story. He was a member of the House in that year and cast his vote against Local Option. Where hestood then he probably would stand again ; he certainly would if the Democrats in the House should decide to line up that way, as it is safe to say they undoubt edly will. In a word, Mr. Smith in a progres sive man, iu a progressive ace. lie in upright auil downright in Inn convic tioun upon the protection of the inter ests of the home and the family aud the couuty generally before any aud all kinds of political partisanship. He in a Republican, lint lie uever come in to political coutuct with thoae Demo crats who put through the “Coal t'oin biue" aud the Itace Track bills, which brought humiliation aud disgrace to the State and to the mau who voted fur them. Mr. Matthews was uot a member of the Legislature at that tiiue.bnt he was closely couueoted with political leaders who advocated those bills aud secured their passage. If he hud been iu the Legislature theu, would he have resisted the party com mand to vote for them ? Probably uot. It is curtaiu that if Mr. Smith had beeu theu iu the Legislature uo |>oli tical party ou earth could have ooaxed or driveu him to vote for thoae bills. He is not aud uever has beeu that kiud of mau. Let the voters of Huuterdou con sider these things, as between the two caudidates. If they oouaidar them fairly aud act accordiugly, Mr. Smith will be elected. Organized labor is awake to the fact that Republican victory means uncut pay-rolls on full time. TARIFF REVISION. Il seems to be certain that the tariff is to be revised, and both parties have declared in favor of revision. Mr. Bryan says “that the Democratic declaration means a reduction of the tariff on all lines.” In this connection it might be well to call attention to a single item on which at least a reduction is not necessary. In our neighboring city of Trenton, prior to the Democratic Wil son bill, the pottery industry was flour ishing, and that bill nearly destroyed the business, and while the McKinley Act restored a part of the tariff, one particular branch of the pottery busi ness has never come to life, that is the better grades of ordinary tableware. Every householder knows how they used to be able to purchase Trenton ware, good goods, at low prices, and if you will take the time to hunt through stores in Trenton you will find com paratively none of il at the present time, and its place filled with any quan tity of imported ware and not at any cheaper price. It is interesting to note that Mr. Taft in a recent speech in Ohio has admitted that in one branch of the tariff, probably the rate should be in creased on pottery. REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS SERVED THE VETERANS. The political situation has assumed a remarkable showing of the ways of the I Jemocratie party to gain control of this Government. But the facts have been spread out so plain that several men were forced to the wall. Haskell was forced to resign from the Demo crat National Finance Committee and others will tollow close in his wake; it is only a question of time when other big leaders will lie lorced to quit. The Democrat party has always been a fail ure from James Buchanan’s admistra tion; his ending term was greeted with a bursting shell front Charleston Har bor, and a deluge of death and de struction reigned for more than four yearsafter. President Johnson’s admin istration was counted a failure, he being placed upon the impeachment block. Cleveland’s administration was unde cidedly a failure, seme of his cabinet officers were too rank to hold the good will of even the President. W. J. Bryan was in Congress at the time and a prominent member ol the Ways and Means committee After working for more than seven months upon the Tar iff revision, it became so jumbled that the President would have nothing to do with it. Hoke Smith, a conces sionist from the Slate of Georgia, whcie more than thirteen thousand Union soldiers were cruelly murdered by starvation anil cruelty, was made Commissioner ot Pensions. Now lets see how well he performed the task of dealing with these old vet erans who fought, bled and ilied that their country might live. He caused about ten thousand spies and detec tives in all cities and towns in the United States to spot out each pen sioner and personally investigate his or her character causing hundreds of thousands of pensioners to have their rates reduced—some cut in half. I will ask any honorable man if this was a fair deal? I will go further and ask any old veteran if he can conscientious* ly vote for a President whose policies follow in the same rut? The Republican party is the only party from which the old veterans can ever expect any relief in their old and declining years The Hon. Ira W. Wood is a candi date for a third term lor Congress from the 4th District of New Jersey. He is a man the old veterans can turn and point to with pride and say “well done thou good and faithful servant." Ami we will remember his good deeds at Me polls in November. Aiik Traugkk. That work “overtime” lor which or ganized labor demands extra pay, is far preferable in Republican times to the halftime, hall pay, or no time and no pay results of the Democratic blight of paralysis to American in dustries. To resliict production, as the Democracy proposes, would be to hamper industry and penalize inven tion. I>r. David Kennedy. Hondoul. N.

Du KM Yob Hivi Always Bought Bear* the Signature of OUR EARLY STATESMEN. Monroe's Expansion Views and Madi son’s Population Guess. Some of our early statesmen were not expansionists. Washington was opposed to assuming the ownership of the Mississippi river, and James Mon roe when a member of the Virginia convention in 1788 argued against the adoption of the federal constitution for geographical reasons. “Consider,’* he said, “the territory lying between the Atlantic ocean and the Mississippi. Its extent far exceeds that of the German empire, it is larger than any territory that ever was under any one free government. It is too extensive to be governed but by a despotic mon archy.’’ And this from the man who thirty years later was elected president of the United States extended far be yond the Mississippi and who became the author of the "Monroe doctrine.’* A year after the adoption of the con stitution Janies Madison thought he was making a bold guess when he estimated that the population of the country might, “In some years,” dou ble In number and reach 6.000,000. lie lived to see far beyond that. Yet it is true that for a number of years the population was largely confined to the original thirteen colonies. In 1789, ( when tiie constitution was adopted. New York city had 33,000 inhabitants. In 1817 it had 115,000, Philadelphia 112,000, Baltimore 55,000, Boston 40, 000, Providence 10,000, Hartford 8,000,, Pittsburg 7.000, Cincinnati 7,000 and St. Louis 3.500. Chicago was but a fort, and Indianapolis was an unbroken wilderness. The country was not crowded yet.—Exchange. CONSOLATION. The Musician Reminded the Poet of the Case of Guarnerius. Th<- musician with a compassionate smile watched the poet trimming the fringe from his cuff. “After all.” he said, “your verse wuy live when Marie Corelli, Winston Churchill and Hail Caine himself are forgotten. Remember the rase of Guarnerius.” “Who was he?” the poet asked. “A pauper and a violin muker. Guarnerius in the seventeenth century made violins that everybody thought too thick; hence they brought only $2 apiece. Musicians would buy them and have them pared down. “Guarnerius insisted that they were not too thick. When lie lieurd of one of his instruments being pared down he flew into a frightful rage. He had a grouch against the world because it wouldn’t agree with him about violin making. He died a pauper because the world would have none of his violins. “A Guarnerius Is now nud then to be picked up. Csualiy it is a pared iu strumont. and its value Is not very high. 1 cut liml an unpared Guarnerius and you can get anything you like for It. It is one of the world’s few per fect violins. “But Guarnerius died a pauper. The Hall Caines nud Winston Churchills of the violin world of his day refused with sneers to drink with him. He, too, trimmed his cuffs.”—Los Angeles Times. Fascination of an Old Bookstora. “There seems to be a fascination about an old bookstore that some persons find it difficult to overcome,” observed the proprietor of one of those establishments. “While we have a large number of good patrons, there are some who delight to come in and just pore over old volumes. I have seen men stand in this store and prac tically read a book through in an aft ernoon. They seem to forget their surroundings for the time ining. and when they emerge from their abstrac tion they are apt to observe that they ‘have just been looking over the books’ nfld ask for some volume that they are quite sure is out of print. Yes, sir, the old bookstore is a free library iu a way, but it is an interesting business and fairly proAtable.” — Philadelphia Record. Fak« Remnants. A country storekeeper, a pair of long, bright shears in hand, calmly cut a roll of silk into remnauts. “Women,” he explained to his city cousin, “are remnant mad. There are women who never buy except at rem nant sales.

Our Earth and Moon, as Far Apart as They Now Are, Could Easily Move Around In Its Flaming Interior—Some of the Substances It Contains. Astronomy does not always consist of night studies. There are some things to be-seen after darkness Is gone, both with glass and unassisted eye. The dear old moon often gives us a good daylight view of herself, looking us If haggard, sleepy and disgusted after be lag out overnight. The star Venus has often been set'll In the afternoon. Some comets are on record as having up proaehed so near the earth that the same could be said of them for weeks at u time. lint of course the great day attrac tion Is the ruler of our own family of brother and sister planets, the sun. Although ‘•medium sized" as com pared to many Of the fixed stars, our sun is no lightweight, being about 1,.'too,000 times as large as the earth. If some great force could put us in the center of that ultra mammoth globe, and the moon also (keeping her at the same distance from us as she now is), and there was another moon nearly as fur away from her, the earth, and the two moons and all the space between them could still be contained in the great, sparkling sun. Its distance from us Is 92,897.000 miles, a very tedious little journey if we could make It by customary meth ods. You can tiud plenty of accounts in books of how long it would take a rallToad train to get to it. and you can ascertain It yourself by a little figuring. You will learn, for instance, that a llm Ited express traveling 1,000 miles per day would arrive at Sun station in about 234 years, during which time there would probably be a few deaths on the train. If when the engine ar rived it could give a blast of the whis tle loud enough to be heard here, the people at this end of the line would have to wait fourteen years before the signal arrived If It proceeded at the usual velocity of sound. But the eye, most wonderful of con veyances, lam traverse all that dis tance In between eight and nine min* ut$s. it takes that length of time for light to pass between the two worlds. What Is the material of which that great fiery globe is composed? The following substances have been detect ed by the spectroscope and may be considered as surely a part of it: Bari um, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, hydrogeu. iron, magnesium, manga nese. nickel, platinum, silicon, silver, sodium, titunlum. vanadium. It Is thought that the following substances are also there, although the proof, while strong, is not absolute: Alumini um, cadmium, carbon, lead, molybde num. palladium, uranium and zinc. It Is a singular fact thut gold has not yet been discovered in this groat golden The fui t that “all la action, all la mo tion," not only In "this world of ours," but throughout our entire universe, la Illustrated by the sun, for. while all the plunets of our system arc revolving around It, It Is not Itself still; It would seem to be having a wall/, of Its own It turns on Its axis. It has another mo tion about the center of gravity of the solar system, and, besides, It is on Its way, with Its flock of planets, toward some distant point In space at the rate of 1*10 miles per minute. These facts and figures sound strange and hardly believable, but they have lieen demonstrated mathematically over and over again hy astronomers of different times nnd lands. One of the most Interesting things to be seen upon the sun is Its spots, for this great king of planets Is not entirely Immaculate. Some think these are caused by cyclones, some that they are eruptions from within the sun's surface, some by cool matter from me teors falling Into the hotter atmos phere, and this last Idea would seem the most sensible one. Such a great flaming furnace as the sun apparent ly la. giving out life to a colony of plan ets. must have food, and (loesibly the great heat giving, life Imparting crea ture may when spots appear he taking its rations.
