W Next Tuesday the voters of the State
will have an opportunity to express
their opinion of the proposed amend
ments to the State constitution. As
has been pointed out the amendments
relate entirely to the judiciary and it
is probable that, after the most com
plete explanation, a majority of the
people will have little interest in the
election. Regarding Perth Amboy,
however, the mere fact that the case
compelling the Pennsylvania railroad
to put safety gates at Washington
street and Hall avenue crossings, has
been carried to the higher courts
where it is blocked owing to the rush
of business, shows there is something
altogether wrong with the present
manner of dealing out justice. The
amendments to be voted upon next
Tuesday is to relieve this pressure
therefore it is to the interest of every
voter in this vicinity to go to the polls
next week and vote in favor of the
change.
Justice Fort yesterday announced
that did not deem it necessary to
int a commission to investigate
ty affairs. He stated that he hail
ined carefully every item of the
freeholders’ accounts and had found
nothing to warrant the appointment.
pointad.that gros girregularities exist
ed, suchthat Justice Fort himself could
not have failed to notice when he
made his careful examination. If
there was nothing wrong in what lie
saw, therefore, the alleged irregulari
ties cannot amount to much, if there
are any at all. It would seem that
the sooner the whole matter was
dropped the better it would be for the
county.
From almost every city comes the
report of an unusually large enroll
ment of scholars in the public schools.
This should be encouraging to Presi
dent Roosevelt and help to allay his
fears of race suicide.
Atlantic City now feels proud. The
city council there has cut down the
tax rate one cent and has agreed to a
paid tire department. The rate is
now $1.47.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
It is said that the negro pays his
poll tax willingly while the most
strenuous objector is the native born
white American. The former evident
ly appreciates his right of suffrage,
even though he so often abuses it,
while the other takes this privilege
too much as a matter of course, and
so seldom considers it valuable.—
Elizabeth Times.
Such a statement on the part of Justice
Fort should be sufficient for every tax
payer in the county. If the justice is
unable to find anything wrong in the
financial affairs after the careful
scrutiny he has given them, theie
really seems no reason for appointing
the aocountant to go all over the books
again.
It was evidently the idea of those
citizens who signed the petition, re
questing that the commission beap

A Wonderful Invention.
It is interesting to note that fortunes
are frcqueutly made by the invention of
articles of minor importance. Many of
the most popular devices are those design
ed to benefit the people and meet popular
conditions, and one of the most iuterest
iug of these that has ever been invented
is the Dr- White Electric Comb, patented
Jan. 1, ‘99. These wonderful combs pos
itively cure dandruff, hair falling out,
sick and nervous headaches, and wlrer
used in connection with Dr. White’s
Electric Ilair Brush are positively guar
anteed to make straight hair curly in 2?
days’ time. Thousands of these electri<
oombs have been sold in various cities o
the Union, and the demand is constantly
increasing. Our agents are rapidly be
coming rich selling these combs. They

Two Sort* of Filipino*.
The Filipinos appear to be divided
sharply into two classes, which, after all,
are really one. One class professes loy
alty. Some of this class are really as
loyal as they can be; others are buenos
aombres during the day, only to foster
rebellion at night. The other class is in
open defiance of all our conceptions of
law and order. Of the two classes, the
fatter is Dy iar less uaugeruus. iu mr
past year there have been perhaps a
hundred convictions of individuals to
death and life imprisonment for open re
bellion; a few days ago one judge passed
sentences of deatli and various terms of
duress, from life imprisonment down to
a year or so, on 20 of the outlaws. But
of those receiving the heavier punish
ments, several were of the outwardly
loyal class, men who secretly fomented
insurrection and ladronism.—Arthur
Stanley Riggs, in Atlantic.
Railroad to Galilee.
Reports have been received stating
that the Ottoman government has
bought the English concession for a
railroad from Haifa to Damascus. This
railroad, a narrow gauge line, will ex
tend through Galilee to Mzerib, by way
of Beisan, connecting at Mzerib with
the Damascus-Mecca line. At the begin
ning of April last five German civil
engineers, employed by the Turkish
government, arrived at Haifa and a
monument was unveiled in commemo
• ration of the start of the operations. In
the middle of April the Damascus-Mec
ca line had reached a point east of the
' Dead sea, and the consul believed that
instead of going to the Hejjaz, includ
, ing Medina and Mecca, it would take a
i southwesterly direction to the gulf of
, Akaba in the Red sea.

A report on seasickness in Zentralblatl
fur innere Medicin may be condensed as
follows: The rocking of the ship pn>
duces a contraction of the arteries of th<
head and therefore an acute anaemia o
the brain. This acute local bloodlessnes:
has as its consequence nausea and vomit
ing. The strain of vomiting correcti
this bloodlessness temporarily.. Thi
vomiting is from impulses from the'braii
and does not depend upon the condltioi
of the stomach. Everything that tendi
to increase the flow of blood to the brail
ameliorates seasickness. There is, ii
the first place, the horizontal posture
then remedies that cause dilatation o
the vessels of the brain. Among thes
may be mentioned chloral hydrate
which may he taken in doses of fiv
t grains three or four times within a fe\
- hours, and amyliniantipyrin in not toi
small doses appear to be of value.
