SATURDAY, APRIL 11. 1903.
Particular mention was made of the
birds by Governor Murphy in his
Arbor Day proolamation. The birds
protect the trees from numerous in
aeots and bags and they deserve recog
nition at this time. We oould not
lire without the trees and foliage,
Imt what would they be like without
^ie birds?
Arbor day will be observed in this
city with literary programs only. The
public school grounds are now well
planted. As soon as possible the
authorities'^should get the High
Sohool grounds arranged so that sap
lings can be set out there. Nothing
adds more to the attractiveness of a
place than to see it surrounded with
trees.
The governor's proclamation should
be a gentle hint to some of the proper
ty owners in Perth Amboy, more
especially those who have been'build
ing houses in what has heretofore
been open fields. Valuation is great
ly' inoreased by a few shade trees and
April 17 is a good time to set theih
ant. It would be a simple but eflec
tive way toj^^eautify our city.
"the
~ drives there, a sooiety^f that city iB
setting oat 160 young trees today.
They did not wait until the date fixed
by the governor for fear it would be
too late in the season.
Perth Amboy is particularly fortnn
ate in her shade. Exoepting in the
very nfewly built up portions, hand
some trees line both sides of the thor
oughfares. This is indeed something
to be proud of and is not always fully
appreciated by the citizens.
Perth Amboy has a Mayor with
Twentieth Oeatury ideas and the
money to back them. Mayor Charles
K. Seaman has just transferred a val
uable piece of land in that town to
the municipality and although the
newspapers there don't tell us what
the ofty is going to do with it, they
?uggeat that the site is an exoellent
one for a monument or fountain.
Maybe Mr. Seaman expeots somebody
ebe to oome forward with either im
provement. The site is at the oorner
of New Brnnswiok avenue and Fay
ette street. The Perth Amboy editors
are evidently not feeling very chipper
lately or they would already have be
gan to aaitate moving our court house
on the land. ? New Brunswick Home
XTewa.
If the New Brunswick editor who
is so afraid of losing the court house,
had read more carefully the article in
the Evening News which inspired the
above editorial, he would have notioed
that one of the reasons Mayor Seaman
bought the plot and presented it to
the oity, was that he thought it too
?mall for the erection of any building
which would be a oredit to the oity.
We have other sites down here,
however, whioh would do very nioely
(or the court house. We'll let the
Vew Brunswick people come down
and look at it onoe in a while when it
Is erected. '
The aotion of the oivil war veterans
who served with the Seoond New Jer
?ey Brigade, in presenting their old
flag, whioh they carried at Appama
tox, to the State, is a commendable
act Doubtless they disliked to part
with it, bat their ranks aie growing
thin and soon there will be none left.
The priceless banner might then fall
ito hands of some who would not
appreciate its value.
^the oapitol in Trenton there are
pas other snch flags which are
pition and that seems to be
them. Other brigades
which still retain
by them dvring the
would do well to follow the Second
Brigade's example.
The price of ice now goes up |1 a
ton retail. When we consider that
coal is np, lnmber is up, beef is np,
oil is np, and labor is np, we begin to
look aronnd for something that is
down so as to form a foundation for
all these towering things to rest upon.
We fail to see anything but a wrig
gling mass of ^humanity struggling for
an existence. Tins foundation is fast
growing weaker and it is only a ques
tion of a short time when it will cave
altogether and bring these "upish"
things down with such a crash that it
will jar the whole nation.
With the return to work of the em
ployes of the match factory and cable'
works, the strife between capital and
labor seems to be ended in this oity
for & while at least. For this we are
thankful. Let us hope that an agree
able settlement between the painters
and the bosses, and the terra cotta
pressors and the terra cotta companies
will be made before the first ot May
so that we will have no more strikes
and interruptions in our business
centers. Difficulties of this nature
are no credit to any community.
The governor has called an extra
session of the legislature to patch up
the Passaic sewer bilL This was the
governor's pet measure and he is evi
dently determined not to be beaten
out of it. That the sewer is badly
needed, none^who are familiar with
the situation doubts for a moment. It
is a good thing for Newark that Essex
oounty is in control of the State this
year.
Former Senator James Smith is
growing to be more and more like
Former President Grover Cleveland
in that the more he does for his party
the less his party likes him. Mr.
Smith, however, need not be ashamed
of his company.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Passaio sewer fight has been
transferred from Trenton to Albany,
and the New York legislators are try
ing to determine npon a course of
aotion to prevent the dumping of the
New Jersey sewiage into New York
bay. ?Trenton Times.
The trunk sewer bill reached final
passage in the Assembly and was sign
ed by the Governor on April 1. That
explains the whole trouble. ? Newark
Evening News.
Assemblyman Soovel has to his
credit a number of bills whioh he in
troduced and pressed tp passage) in the
Legislature, but none for whioh he is
entitled to more praise than the one
making wife desertion or the wilful
neglect to support one's wife and
minor ohildren a misdemeanor, punish
able by fine or imprisonment.
Heretofore the man guilty of either
or both of these offenses was not a
criminal in the eyes of the law. He
could escape his responsibilities to
ward those dependent upon him by
leaving the state. The new law
makes him amendable to punishment
and will tend to prevent desertions
and the shirking of marital responsi
bilities. It is a good law and should
have been put on ilie statute book
long ago.? Oamdeu Post-Telegram.
Six State Senators are to be eleoted
next fall from the counties of Bur
lington, Cape May, Hunterdon, Mid
dlesex, Passaio and Sussex. As for
Hunterdon and Sussex they will re
main Democratic without a doubt.
The other four bounties are at present
represented bv, Republicans and ought
to maintain their present asoendenoy
and doubtless/ will if wise counsels
prevail. ?Burlington Enterprise.

Due Notioe Is Served.
Due notice is hereby served on the
public generally that DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve is the only Salve on the
market that is made from the Dare
unadulterated witch hazel. DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve has cured thous
ands of cases of piles thatj, would not
yield to any other treatmmt, and this
fact has brought out many worthless
counterfeits. Those persons who get
the genuine DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve are never disappointed, because
it cures. G. W. Parisen.

A Sweet Breath
is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad the
stomaeh is out of order. There is no
remedy in the world equal to Kodol
Dyspepsia Oure for onring indigestion,
dvspepsia and all stomach disorders.
Mrs. Mary S. Crick, of White Plains,
Ky. , writes: "I have been a dyspep
tic for years? tried all kinds of reme
dies but continued to grow worse. By
the use of Kodol I began to improve
a$ once, and after taking a few bottles
am fully restored in weight, health
and strength and can eat whatever I
like. Kodol digests what you eat and
makes the stomach sweet. Q. W.

The only kind of consump
tion to fear is " neglected
consumption."
People are learnjng that con
sumption is a curable disease.
It is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
Scott's Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of Scott's Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where Scott's Emul
sion is.
Prompt use of Scott's Emul
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

More wealth is produced in the small
area of Butte City every year than in
some whole states. The revenue from
the min?s ? some $55,000,000 ? is equal
to the income of the government of
Holland. The recent great progress in
every department of electrical develop
ment has been made possible in large
degree by the energy of these men of
Butte. For the city and its environs
now produce a quarter of the world*?
entire product of copper, about two
fifths that of the United States. A
single group of mines in the heart of
the city ? the Anaconda? yields more
than twice as much copper yearly as all
Germany. Nor is the treasure confined
to copper. Butte is the greatest silver
producing center in the United States,
its annual output ? some $13,000,000 ?
being nearly equal to that of the entire
state of Colorado, which, next to Mon
tana, has the largest production of all
the states.* And of gold Butte still
fields considerably over $1,000,000 year
ly. ? Kay Stannard Baker, in Century.

lungs to contribute pure life-giving
and life-sustaining oxygen to the blood

follows; "Our two children had a
severe attack of whooping cough, one

nose. We tried everything we heard
of without getting relief. We then
called in our family doctor who pre
scribed Foley's Honey and Tar. With
the very first dose they began to im
prove and we feel that it has saved
their lives." Refuse substitutes.
