THE REED REPORT.

The report of the minority of the Ways and Means Committee on the Wilson Tariff bill was written by exSpeaker Reed, and, like all his productions, is a clear, straightforward and logical statement. It does not deal with theories after the manner of Professor Wilson not enter into any historical dissertation on ancient tariffs. It handles the tariff question as a live, practical reality and not as a philosophical experiment, and it will carry conviction to every man who believes that American industry and American wages must not be disturbed for the sake of trying on the British theory of trade. The Wilson bill is the worse menace to American interests that has ever been conceived by the enemies of the protective system, and the Reed report denounces it with merciless severity. The analysis of its provisions is keen and searching, and will provide an abundance of good texts for the Repub-

lican opposition.

The tone of this report is altogether admirable, aside from the array of solid facts. There is no longer any disposition on the part of Protectionists to make concessions, to compromise or to shiver before the assaults of the enemy, and this feeling is well expressed by the report. It contains no excuses or apologies, it declares for a bitter and unyielding resistance to the new tariff scheme in all its parts and it summons the Republican party, or, rather, we should say, every Protectionist--for the Democratic party has lately been disclosing something like a revival of the Randall school in its ranks--to the stern duty of fighting the bill inch by inch in the common interest of the country.

The tariff should not be a party ques-

tion in such a season of distress as the country is now passing through; and there is no small proportion of Democrats whose hearts are not in this bill, and who, whatever may have been their theories, are now willing to admit that the sweeping legislation proposed by the Wilson bill would be a grave blunder at this time. The condition of the workingmen throughout the land who are clamoring for work and bread, has been an appalling object lesson to many a Democrat who has ben in the habit of shouting for tariff reform, and it should arouse every Protectionist to combat a measure which will surely increase that distress. Ex-Speaker Reed, in the report of the minority, says: "We have not thought it desirable to make any appeals to passion or to prejudice. Far from that; we have taken thus far no notice of the condition of business now, which is terrible; nor of that of the workingman, which beggars description. In one hundred representative cities where the number employed exceeds two millions and a half of people fully one-third, by the most conservative estimate, are without employment. These are engaged in the protected industries. Those who are not and who thought they were beyond the touch of the tariff now know the solid fact that all industries are prosperous, or none. We will not strive in any way to increase the turmoil which this bill has already created. An end can be put to all this by the defeat of this bill, and to the accomplishment of this every energy should be bent."

If the authors and promoters of the Wilson policy of industrial destruction will not be deterred from their work by the prospect of inflicting more misery and ruin, they should be halted and fought at every step with all the weapons of opposition which the Protection leaders can command in both House and Senate. The protests coming from all parties and all sections against the Wilson bill show that the people will be with them, and the Democratic lines, in the face of this popular uprising, may yet be pierced and broken. The Wilson bill must be defeated at all hazards. There must be no thought of compromise or accepting amendments; the right and only way to amend is to kill it outright.

A Fatal Runaway Accident.

William H. Powell, of Millville, died at the residence of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lashley, Tuckahoe, late Tuesday afternoon of last week from injuries received in a runaway accident a few days prior. Mr. Powell and family went to Tuckahoe to spend the holidays, and while out riding with Harry Lashley,

his brother-in-law, the horses ran away, upsetting the wagon and hurling Mr. Powell to the ground. He was picked up unconscious, and never recovered consciousness.

The ordinance appropriating $8000 to furnish work to the unemployed by improving Beach avenue has been filed and will become a law by next Saturday. John Rutherford, of this city, whose absence from home created some alarm to his family and friends, returned home on Saturday evening. He stated that he had been in Philadelphia.

It is reported by real estate men here that Thomas Robb has sold the Chalfonte Hotel property to Charles Cox, of Camden. J. H. Ware, of Millville, and others have contracted with John W. McCray, of this city, to widen and deepen creeks and dig waterways between Cape May and Atlantic City, a distance of forty miles. It is proposed to establish a line of summer pleasure steamers to ply between the two places, and to touch at such intermediate points as Longport, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Wildwood, Angelsea, Avalon and Holly Beach. A Life of Usefulness Closed. Mrs. Hannah Somers, relict of Aaron Somers, died at the residence of her son-in-law, J. T. Price, Asbury avenue, Thursday evening, in the 88th year of her age. Death was the result of a gradual weakening of the vital forces. Mrs. Somers was born at Steelmanville, Atlantic county, and was a daughter of Abraham and Sarah Albertson. The greater portion of her life was spent in the neighborhood of her birthplace, the only interruption being a residence of short duration in Philadelphia.

Deceased was twice married, her first husband being Jeremiah Parvin. Three child were the result of each union,

but the aged lady outlived all her children with the exception of Mrs. Arabella Price, with whom she passed the last few years of her life.

Early in life she united herself with the Asbury M. E. Church, English Creek, and remained in full fellowship until her death. Until age brought

with it its infirmities, Mrs. Somers was a very active worker in the church, her many acts of charity and benevolence endearing her to those with whom she labored.

Although she had passed the allotted three score years and ten by nearly a

score of years, yet Time had dealt kindly with her, and as the days sped by she rejoiced in the knowledge that soon she could put off the mortal and robed in the immortal join those who had crossed over before her. This was the consoling thought of her declining years, and no murmurings or complainings were ever heard to pass her lips. Her death was but the closing scene on earth of a life of usefulness, and a preparation for that of the unseen. The remains were committed to their last resting place on Sunday, and in death she sleeps in the cemetery attached to the church of her choice and where she had devoutly mingled with the worshipers for so many years.

PLOTTING IN NEW JERSEY.

The stories of Democratic plots in New Jersey are revived. The gamblers are desperate enough to do anything. They would have a special session of the Senate called just before the regular

session meets in January if they could, and they have not abandoned that idea by any means, according to advices

from Trenton. This failing, they would like to capture the Senate through an organization effected by the hold-over Senators, giving the Senators-elect no voice in the matter.

These stories are worth considering at all events, although it is highly im-

probable that any real effort will be made to thwart the voice of the people as ex-

pressed at the recent election. The gam-

bling element among the Democrats, in order to save their profits from race track and roulette wheel, would risk anything. But can the Democrats as a party afford to allow anything under-

hand? The Governor certainly is a man of character. He could not listen for an instant to the gamblers' plan for calling

an extra session for the sole purpose of unseating a Republican Senator who has once passed through the ordeal of a contested election case and been seated.

Nor could the party of which the Governor is the head consent to a conspiracy to control a body in which there is a Republican majority, and which can be controlled only by the grossest fraud.

Any attempt at this sort of thing, while it might be of temporary Democratic advantage, would make New Jersey solidly Republican at the next election. Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or elevated and rebuilt will save money by correspondent with Abel D. Scull, builder and general house mover.

Gored by a Bull.

Captain Elmer Willets, of Dias Creek, a wealthy oyster shipper, had a fine Holstein bull. He was very proud of

the big animal, which was noted for its fierceness as well as for its record and size. Captain Willets tried to master the bull, but found it a difficult and dangerous task.

A few days ago, while engaged in trying to subdue the bull, Captain Willets was badly gored and would have lost his life but for the presence of mind of a farm hand who diverted the attention of the infuriated animal. Thursday the Captain again tried to subdue the bull and was terribly gored.

His body was frightfully lacerated and torn.

Twenty-three other pictures from current books and an array of miscellany that is exceptionally interesting. But the beauty of BOOK NEWS is deeper than pictures and miscellany. It takes you into its confidence. It reads and weights the books as they come out and takes you into the very heart of them.
