That is bound to come in due time. A bill is to be introduced at the approach ing session of the New Jersey Legis lature which provides a fine of $1,000 or not mora than three years' impris onment for any ^intoxicated person found running an automobile. An automobile is nollplace for any person .not in perfeot possession of all his senses,'.especially if he bo tho chauf feur.

It is Said * , th^at there was' geoeral regret, among ibo oongrasamon Who vieit?d?-th? is? lands that wo had ever undertaken to be responsible for their future. How ever, ns wc are there, the only thing now to do is to muke tho best of it until such time is we ean get rid of the charge. Meanwhile, it is our duty to do all ii our power to improve the condition of the people and to hasten the day when th?y cnn take charge ol' their own affairs. The year l'.njj has been a most re markable year io many respects and will probably go dowu i ri history as the most productive in thc country's history, at least so far as the crops produced from the soil are concerned. The United States have produeed in ?.ho neighborhood of 10,000,000 bales of cotton, 2,708,000,000 bushels of corn, 08:1,000,000 bushels of wheat, 930,000,000 bushels of oats ?0,000,000 bushels of rye, 133,000,000 bushels of barley, Zril,000,000 bushels of pota toes, l"y,000,000 bushels of buckwheat, and 01,000,000 tons of hay.
