THE Republican Legislature last year

passed laws in the interest of the people.

All the gambling and liquor monopolistic legislation of the Democrats was wiped out. Verily the people cannot permit the State again to fall in the hands of Abbett-McDermott and Thompson ringsters and political tricksters.

THIS is the season of sudden changes of temperature. Cool mornings and nights may be expected from now on, with brief intervals of warmer weather. Sensible people will govern themselves accordingly, and will refrain as much as possible from exposure when not suitably clad. It is fine weather to be out doors, however, when due attention has been paid to garb. The walking is healthful and exhilarating and an invaluable substitute for doctors' bills, and the moonlight nights make exercise of this character double attrac-

tive.

SENATOR McPHERSON is not a candidate for re-election and ex-Governor Abbett is "not a candidate for any office." The ex-Governor writes to one of his friends: "If I saw you personally I would give my reasons to you." But it is scarcely necessary to whisper them. Every Democrat in New Jersey feels in

his bones that his party is doomed to

defeat, and most of them are of the opinion that it deserves to be defeated. The next Legislature will, in all probability, be Republican, and if so it will no doubt elect General Sewell as Senator. He would be of great service to the State and reflect honor upon it. THERE is really little or nothing for the Republicans to discuss in the present campaign. The voters next month are simply called upon to say whether they approve or disapprove the record made during the last eighteen months of a Democratic Congress and Administration. If they approve they should vote the Democratic ticket; otherwise, the Republican. As the Newark News puts it, "the fight in New Jersey has resolved itself down to a contest upon the one issue which separates the two parties, the question of the tariff. There is a tremendous number of Democrats in the State who believe that they have been buncoed by their party upon this question, and they will not be beguiled by wordy deceptions inserted in convention platforms."

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS. Dr. G. M. Phillips, principal of the State Normal School at West Chester, Pa., presented to the Teachers' Institute which met here recently an interesting and important scheme, which is attracting much attention in different parts of the country; it was the matter of School Savings Banks. A school savings bank is simply a scheme to gather up the savings of the children in the schools and deposit them in the nearest savings bank. A simple, safe and efficient plan of doing this was ex-

plained, which has been found in practice to work well. After visiting the schools of Long Island City, N. Y., where the school savings banks were

first started in this country, Mr. Phillips called the attention of the teachers of Montgomery County, Pa., to them at their Institute in 1889. The matter

was at once taken up, being started

first in Pottstown, a borough of 13000 people. At the end of the first year the children of that town had saved $10,000 almost every dollar of which would have been wasted or worse than wasted, had it not been for the school savings bank, and they have gone right on there in the same way. Many other towns followed with the same success, and the scheme has been adopted even in the small county schools. But the best result is not in the amount of money saved, considerable as that is, but in the habits of economy, yes, and in industry, for most of them must earn the money they save, and these habits will cling to them all through

their lives, and make them in every way better citizens.

Why not try the School Saving Bank

here? Principal Thomas is never behind in any good work, and we are sure that he can be depended upon to carry out the plan wisely and success-

fully. What say you School Trustees?

You are always liberal and progressive too. Let us give it a trial and be the first district in the county to adopt it.

DANGEROUS--BEWARE. While the political contest in this State has not as yet become greatly exciting, it does not follow that work is not being done by both sides to carry their ticket through to victory. It is as yet of the quiet order, with an absence of mass meetings, torchlight parades and other accessories of a fall campaign. There may be plenty of this before the November gales are due, and in the meantime the newspapers are doing the educating and argufying.

An amusing feature of the Democratic programme is the claim that the panic, hard times, bank failures, business stagnation, railroad strikes, etc., are solely and solemnly the result of Republican mismanagement in the past. This is humor enough to make even a hungry laboring man laugh. The thousands and tens of thousands of men out of work will no doubt remember this, and, when they have a chance to vote in November, do their part in keeping in power the Democratic tariff reformers. They tell the workingmen that they haven't had half a chance to show what they can do, and beg to be given another trial. Mr. Wilson, who has had so much to do with alleged tariff reform, assures his friends that the work has only commenced. The present cut in duties for the benefit of foreign manufacturers is bad enough for our home industries, but with the duty wiped out on everything that now pays tribute, which seems to be the consummation devoutly to be wished by the Clevelandites, the people would then begin to understand what this so-called reform means.

The keynote of this campaign is: Shall America be for Americans, or shall the Democratic party turn it over body and breeches to England? A Republican Senate and Assembly in New Jersey can do its part in preventing this. A successor to Mr. McPherson is to be elected next year. If

the man is a Republican there will be

one vote less to record in favor of En-

glish supremacy in the markets of this

country.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. One week from Tuesday next the politicians of the country will be eagerly scanning the returns of the November election, for the result may determine the result of the Presidential election of 1896. Everybody counts with confidence upon large Republican gains, and, notwithstanding the large Demo-

cratic majority in the present House,

disinterested observers think it highly

probable that the Republicans will re-

gain control. It is conceded even by Democrats that the Republicans are likely to control a majority of the State delegations, and if they should they

will be in position to elect the next President if the Electors should fail to

make a choice, as is quite within the

bounds of possibility. Moreover, the result of the election twelve days hence may make or mar the fortunes of candidates for the Democratic and Republican nominations for the Presidency in 1896. If Hill should be elected Governor of New York he will be a formidable candidate for the Presidency, and, even though he should be defeated, he will remain an important factor in the nominating convention. Reed, McKinley and other assumed candidates for the Presidency are also largely interested in the returns of the November election, as tests of their popularity. But even more important than the control of the House, or the effect of the election on the Presidential nominations to follow, is the possibility that a Republican landslide may give that party in the near future such control of the Senate as could not be shaken during the next Presidential term. The Democrats now have a bare majority in the Senate, which under ordinary circumstances they might hope to slightly increase; but, if the Republicans should make such gains as seem to be foreshadowed, the Legislatures of several Democratic States might be captured, with disastrous re-

sults to that party.

Very seldom have the November elections of an off year been of such vital importance to the two parties.

For the Republicans it is a skirmish preliminary to 1896. Even though they

should not gain the House or the Senate in prospective they will nevertheless be

in good condition for the Presidential campaign. With the Democrats it is a contest of supreme importance. If they lose at any point the control of the Government will pass from their hands,

even though they should elect the next

President. We may be sure, therefore, that the working politicians of both parties will strain every nerve to win in November, for they all regard the election as likely to determine in some measure the control of the Government during the next Presidential term. Although everything looks hopeful for the Republicans--indeed they have everything to win, nothing to lose--a word of caution seems necessary. Too great confidence sometimes begets indifference and neglect of duty. Republicans cannot win if they do not vote. Moreover, notwithstanding the promise of great Republican gains it is by no means sure that they will be made in the right places. The manufacturing districts of the country are already for the most part Republican. It is in these districts that the largest gains are expected, but they will scarcely count at all towards gains in the House or the Senate. Enormous Republican majorities may be roiled up in Republican districts or Republican States and nothing accomplished. Thus it is quite within the range of possibility for the Republicans to gain a great popular victory and yet fail to loosen the hold of the Democrats upon the Federal Government. In many of the States where heavy Republican gains are expected the districts have been so divided as to concentrate the Democratic votes in a few districts giving large majorities and to spread out the Republican votes over a large number of districts giving

small majorities. In States thus gerrymandered the Republicans may make great gains in voice without capturing

a single district.t This is remarked simply by way of caution against too great assurance of Republican success.
