Whew t'ne Supreme Court, nearly twen ty years ago, declared the system of ♦Lectin e Assemblymen by districts to be ttacon&tatutionai. after this method had been in operation for over forty years, there was more or he* rejoicing, says the Newark “Evening News.” To elect members of the Assembly at large in the counties would1, the people then thought, insure a better class of men, and would absolutely aboHsh the political iniquity of gerrymandering. This latter had grown to be as dangerous, as intolerable and as universal, in its day, as graft and corruption are at the present time. Whichever party got into power its first <• 'tustnees was to endeavor to perpetuate it* bold on the State by redistricting ev ery county; twisting district lines un warrantably, outrageously and without the slightest regard for justice and' equal ity: with the intent to reduce the oppo sition’® representation .to the lowest pos sible limit and increase the administra tion’s proportionately. So well satisfied were the people-over the Supreme Court’s decision abolishing this evil that the question was not carried to the Court of Errors and Appeals. It is now seriously proposed1 to re-es tablish, if possible, the Assembly District system. The people have found much eo their surprise and regret, that no better men are elected by the county at large than were chosen under what was called “tiie pocket litre ugh system.'' The pro Fcueicnel politicians have more control Mow thon they had then, and what the people gained by th eabolition of the ger rymander they have lest through bossistu. Wbst is more, the minority representa tion, which i* always one of the State's greatest safeguards, is almost completely eliminated. When a humorous resolution was recently introduced in the Legisla ture, extending the privileges of Leader Perkins’s new autocar to the Democratic members, that gentleman retorted: "There are not enough Democrats in the “House to fill it,’’ and his statement was absolutely and significantly true. And. now that Governor Stokes has pointed out a way to raise the question of constitutionality again, and to carry it to the Court of Errors and Appeals, with a fair prospect of having the Assembly District system upheld, the political or ganizations in all counties entitled to three or more Asemblymen, seem to be devising plans for the creation of districts advantageous to their respective panties. In a word there are already suggestions of gerrymanders aud of such arrange ments of districts as will give overwhelm ing Democratic majorities in a few. nice working Republican majorities in a large number, with the negligible remainder left as debatable territory. 1)111. :• -.'U. 'There were east at the last Guberna torial election 231,308 Republican and : 197.710 Democratic votes. Upon this ap portionment. If it could be carried out. the Republicans would be entitled to thirty-four .members of the Assembly and the Democrats twenty-six; but it cannot be carried out for the reason that Republicans and Democrat* are all min gled together in the district# and the ma jority rules in each.

';.v SCALY ECZEMA ' ULLjffl BODY Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Scales and Crusts Formed — Iowa Lady Has Great Faith in Cuticura Remedies for Skip Diseases. NOTHER WONDERFUL CURE BY CUTICURA “I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms jd the lower limbs as far as the knees at first thought it was prickly heat. *>ut soon scales or crusts formed where •be breaking out was. Instead of goirg so a physician, I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I bad great faith, and all wa* satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuti* •ura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It- is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. 1 have taken about thre« bottles of tha Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of the Soap or Ointment, as I always keep them with me; probably .ate half dozen of each, j u I decided to give the Cuticura Rem edies a trial after I had seen the results •f their treatment of eczema on an tefant belonging to one of our neigh bors. The parent took the child to the nearest physician, but his treatment did no good. So they procured the Cuticura Remedies and cured her wifrh them. When they began using Cuticuwv Rem edies her face was terribly disfigured with sores, but she was entirely cured, i,»r I saw the same child at the age of 0>e yean, and her mother told me tho >. :zema had never broken out since.

A «inc!e set often cures. new Assembly district lines should not now be drawn so as to purposely give partizaushlp advantage. Certainly the Republicans in this State, with over 50, 000 majority, can well afford to be just and equitable. As to the possibilities of future gerry mandering, they should be carefully guarded against in any act passed by the legislature; not only shlould the new dis trict lines be laid reasonably, taking into fair consideration the rights of all citi zens. but the old trick of changing them surreptitiously and for purely partizan purposes should be prevented. It would be pitiable, indeed, if in returning to the district system bossism should thus be reinstated1 and minority representation denied to the same extent as at present. A certain sense of horror must be aroused by General Leonard Wood's dis patch announcing his victory over a band of 'Moro insurgents in the Island of Jolo, says the Brooklyn “Eagle.” “All the de fenders of the Moro stronghold were kill ed” appears in the grim summary of re sults. The desperate nature of the fight ing may be gathered from the published list of casualties. The American attack ing forces, consisting of sailors, native constabulary aud a detachment of the Sixth Infantry, lost IS killed aud 52 wounded. The number of Moros slain is put at 800. It is probably larger, for the history of campaigning against these natives shows that first estimates'of their losset have nearly always fa Hen below the actual figure. The battle occurred in and around' the crater of an extinct volcano, on the island » of Jolo, about five miles ho the east of the town of Jolo. A good map of the Phillippines will show the position of that island at the extreme southwestern end of the Philippine archipelago. Jolo and the neighboring Tapul, Samaies and Basilau islands, from a minor archipelago by themselves. The population is of Malayaian origin, of Mohammedan faith and, so fat- as a considerable proportion of it is concerned, of lawless propensi ties. The task of curbing the Predatory instincts of the natives was undertaken as sfoon as the graver military problems Seated by Aguinaldo’s insurrection in the Booth had bee® satiefactotily sdlved. The proper performance Of it required the ■•jsp • j .... '1 tii : ' ■> movement of military expeditions against numerous bands of brigands who lived by plundering their more peaceful neigh bors. Most of these expeditions hiive precipitated sanguinary encounters, but nothing like the slaughter of Mount Oajo has occurred since the close of the Agui naldo rebellion. It was a shocking expo sition of the severity that is inevitable Whenever a white nation imposes its rale upon a savaga or swflhaavage community which haw previously submitted to no sys tem of wwbnuiwt. Manifestly aay conteKt waged against the outlaws of Jolo must be one-sided. They hav* no artillery. Our forces have artillery, and the evidence is that they used it at Mount Dajo with most de structive effect. The Moros are armed with indifferent rifles, and their sup plies of atom u-ni tton cannot be large. In these respects they are also hopelessly outclassed. The odds against them in the matter of equipment are so heavy that even their superior knowledge of the country, and their capacity to sub sist on rations upon which our men would starve, do not serve to balance the scale. But in spite of their handi caps they have a magnificent physical courage, a fanatical contempt for death, and an intense hatred for any authority which seeks to restrict their ancient license. They are divided into bands thwt have no relation to each other. They operate in widely separated dis tricte, a.nd the suppression of them must be accomplished! in derail, as well as with a relentless thoroughness. It is deplorable that our position in the Philippines must be sustained by vio lence. It mil not always be so, but short of a complete evacuation of the islands, there is open to the governing authorities no either course than that now being pursued by General Wood and his subordinate. General Bliss. The experience of every nation that has un | delta ken colonial expansion has been the same. Even in these later days, when occupation by force is justified! on the theory that it is in the interest of civil ization and «f the equal justice which civilization implies, the authority of the iuvader has nearly always been estab lished on the dead bodies of the in vaded. And it would be rash to say that the sum of human agony thus entailed is in any case too large a price to pay for tlie substitution of law, order and the forces of progress for anarchy aud uni versal demoralization. Those who feel impelled ito denounce this killing of in surgent Moros should remember that the insurgents represent only a part, and not the major part either, of the population of Jolo and the neighboring islands. If their depredations are not checked' their quieter neighbors must suffer in silence or be driven to a resistance that will mean civil war. And civil war would involve a larger amount of distress than is now inflicted by the war our troops are waging. There will be a notable meeting in Washington next Tuesday when repre sentatives of the various commercial bod ies of most of 'the large cities of the country assemble in convention to disenss and urge upon Congress real reform in the consular service, says the Newark “Daily Advertiser.” The call to the na tional convention, which has been sent out to chambers of commerce, boards of trade, exchanges and various organiza tions of manufacturers, merchants and business men all over the country, sets forth the necessity for making appoint ments to the consular service with the sale purpose of promoting the welfare of ail the people and not as a reward for political service or influence. This, in brief, was the purpose of the Lodge bill which passed the Senate more than a month ago, but so amended as to make it little better than no bill, and is still awaiting a place on the House calen dar. It will be remembered that the President has twice recommended sueh a measure of reform, and that Secretary Root is an urgent backer of the bill. It is officially before Congress, that the credit and the commercial interests of the country are greatly in need of an im proved consular service, and that it can not be secured so long as the appointees are selected on the spoils system instead of on the basis of special fitness for the duties to be performed. Some measure of improvement has been already accom plished by the the Executive and the. State Department, but legislation Js neecSsagy to make it fully effectives ; / i Of course, the convention to meet at ] the capital uext week will not take it out in talking. A campaign will be laid out for so working on the Representatives and Senators in Congress, as to convince them of the need of this proposed reform by the great business interests of the country which the consuls are supposed to serve. Whether anything can be ac complished at the present session or not the movement will serve to arouse and -——--... enlighten the Congress. By carrying on the crusade at home and working on their representatives individually these powerful interests will in time succeed in getting what they demand. It is gratifying to see that the Board of Freeholders of this county appreciate the very general desire that the treat ment of the prisoners in the Penitentiary at Caldwell shall be accord when mod em ideas of dealing with criminals, says the Newark “Sunday CaU.” One of the speakers at the Charities Conference re cently held in this city expressed the belief that the Board would'make its own investigation of the methods pursued in the Rahway Reformatory and the re forms introduced in the State Prison by Warden Osborne, and' would be Convinc ed that the time had come for a change in the discipline of the Penitentiary. The action of the Prisons Committee of the Board in deciding to take up the sub ject seems to justify that hope. The Petentiary receives some of the most degraded of our law-breakers, who are so brutalized by a life of vice and crime as to require a strong hand and stern discipline in administering the punishment imposed by law. But the* county court, because of the crowded condition of the Reformatory, is com pelled to send1 to Caldwell many offend ers who are capable of reformation. i They have yielded to some sudden temp tation, or pursued thoughtlessly a course of dissipation or vicious self-indulgence, and would now gladly mend their ways if society would only give them a chance. What encouragement to reform is there in striped suits and shaved beards, fel lowship with the lowest of a city’s degen erates, and a soul-killing round of brute labor such as the Penitentiary now pro vides? Tire distinctive feature of the Reform atory method is the recognition of the fact that all criminals are not alike, that some are low creatures, steeped in vice and hardened in crime, while some are suffering the consequences of a single miss-step, bitterly repenant, and eager to embrace any chance of reform. So the Reformatory divides its inmates into three grades, and gives each grade dif ferent treatment. All are subjected to strict discipline, punishment is imposed Upton ail alike for any breach of this dis cipline, but—and there is the point where the Penitentiary fails—each prisoner finds that there is always a reward for good behavior. If he violates the rules of the institution he goes down a grade to harder and meaner labor, fewer priv ileges; if he obeys the rules lie goes up a grade to higher labor and increased priv ileges. By this method the lesson of law and order is impressed upon him, but hope is implanted in his heart, ambition is nourished and wounded self-respect is restored. He comes forth into the world eager to take his place as a man among men. On the other hand the Penitentiary too often sends a mon forth contaminated, despairing and embittered, feeling that every man’s hand is against him, tvery avenue of useful employment closed. Which of these two methods is the wiser is a question no longer open to de bate. The Reformatory method lifts a man up, the Penitentiary pushes him down. Humanity and Christian charity demand that while there is a chance for reformation the criminal should be given that chance. Common sense requires that punishment should not only deter others from committing a like offense, but that each offender should, if possible, be transformed from an enemy of society into a useful citizen. The humanity of this method appeals to the heart: the economy of it appeals to the heatL From both points of view the public demand a change in the discipline of the Essex County Penitentiary. Will the Board of Freeholders heed this demand? i -♦ AMUSEMENTS .51 1 nrit- .• ' <)fJT “Behind the the Academy of Music ‘‘Behind the Mask,” described as a iiiuix ’ play of the Golden West, drew a very large audience to the Academy of Music last night. The play proved to be much better than even the audience anticipated. In the first place, the company is a strong one and the play is superbly mounted. It can bo further said that while there are several sensational scenes, usually de scribed as thrillers, one of the best fea tures of the play is the comedy clement and thanks to the make-up of the cast some splendid stage pictures are present ed as clear-cut as a cameo. The most ex Pitihg scene Is tliiit of the attempt to Wreck a train winding down the sides of a Colorado mountain. It appears first in minuture form and as it clashes closer to view it increases in size. It is a very smart, even marvelous, piece of stage mechanism, to say nothing of the thril ling scene between train robbers and sol diers at the climax of the scene. The man “Behind the Mask” figures in this .scene. Socially he is supposed to be a man of financial integrity. There is also a safe-blowing scene, far ■more realistic than the one that has be come familiar as a moving picture scheme. The seenes are located in the gold mining regions of Colorado .seventy miles from Denver. Taken all in all it combines many splendid theatrical fea tures and last night’s audience appeared highly pleased with It. As above stated, the company is a good one. There Is not a “stick” in the cast. “HEAR MY DOLLIES’ PRAYER 0 Lord, 1 Pray Thee, hear my. dollies’ prayer, And teach them how to ask for what is right; But if it’s going to give You extra care, Then You might skip my blessings for tonight.
