There will be no repetition at Trenton this
year Of the disorderly and disgraceful conduct
of The Democratic Assembly last winter, when
public decency was outraged in fragrant man
ner. Both branches of the Legislature are
now Republican, and the election of presiding
officers will not provoke contest In either
house. Mr. Dickinson, of Hudson County, will
probably be chosen Speaker of the Assembly
tomorrow, and Senator Large of HunterdOn.
is likely to be selected as presiding officer of
the Senate. The question Of restrictive tax
alton upon the liquor saloons will undoubtedly
be the most wcighty matter of legislation con-
sidered With the political makeup of the
Legislature and the limited veto power of the
Governor. New-Jersey should take radical
position ON this important issue.

figures being for the year ss5, when American
fishermen were allowed to fish in British waters.
The Insignificant percentage of the catch inside
the three mile limit shows how little Importance
is attached to the inshore fisheries by the Ameri-

was i'm Dominion waters The census also shows

DIR. Van Dyke had no trouble in finding a
text for his sermon in the Brick Church on the
sin of stealing foreigners books which the
failure to enact an international copyright law
permits. The only question was to choose
among the numerous Biole passages pertinent
to the subject. He forcibly pointed out the
wickedness of literary piracy and contended
that we as Nation are already suffering pun
ishment for our misconduct in the corruption
OF thought consequent upon the food Of foreign
books (many of them of low class and in the
decline Of our National literature. 1t is a
wholesome thing for the pulpit to take hold
vigorously Of such crying evil as that which
formed the subject Of DIR. Van Dykes dis
course.

partment tomorrow. and unless the Senate
confirms his nomination to the Supreme Court
bench his career in the public service, which
began In 1872, will then be closed. at least for
some time to come. His resignation as Sccre-
tary of the Interior was sent to the President
and accepted on Saturday. Probably this action
On Mr.. Iamars part will be generally regarded
as Ievidcnce that he is certain OF favorable
treatment at the hands Of the Senate. That
question, however, is far from decided In
our Washington dispatches will be found inter
views with five Senators who have been repre-
scented as inclined to vote to confirm Mr.. Cleve-
lands unfit nomination. What these gentle
men say will be read with profound interest.
Mr.. Stockbridge announces that he will GER
tainly vote against Lamar and Mr.. Sabin ex-
presses entire willingness TO abide by the
caucus decision. Mr.. Jones Is nOn-commttal,
and Mr.. Stewart. his colleague, has not yet
made ND his mind. Mr.. Sawyer regards MIR.

AN INFAMOUS ATTACK on Mr. WOOL
BRIDGE.

Through chain of circumstances e1-
tending through several years there arose
an aco uaintanceship and business relation
.ba, has now resulted in casting a shadow
mon the reputation of a gentleman who
has always stood as high in the esteem of
this city for honor and probity as any
man within the city's limits. But when
all the facts are published, as they will be
in a very few days, the name of A. r.
Woodbridge will stand out before this
com munity stripped of every suspicion
OF wrong, and he will continue to hold that
place in the estimation of all our citizens
he so well won and has deservedly oc-
cupied.
The trouble has arisen out of the fact
that Mr.. Woodbridge was on the bond of
Sam Hopkins, clerk of the United States
district court, who is now paying the pen
atty for his many crimes in the United
States penitentiary. Through regard for
the family of Hopkins, his wife and child,
Mr.. Woodbridge, for many, many months,
allowed himself to be grievously impose ed
upon by said Hopkins. Mr.. Woodbridge,
time after time, kept him out of trouble and
disgrace by advancing him money to save
him from the clutches of the law. Hop
kins gave him power of attorney TO re-
ceive from the departments at Washing
ton and to indorse and collect the money
on all drafts, checks, etc, that came to
Hopkins, payable to his order. 1t was be-
cause Mr.. Woodbridge, upon the advice of
such distinguished lawyers as Messrs.
Maxey and Fisher, used this power of at
torney to partly reimburse himself for the
money tkat had been wrung from him by
sympathy for Hopkins, who plead for his
wife and child and shielded himself behind
them, that this infamous charge. of
forgery is now by interested parties
brought against him. Ali the documents
in the case and its full particulars will be
published in few days, and the public
can Judge for itse,f of the mali1iousness
of this contemplate charge. In the
meantime none who know Mr.. Woodbridge
can for moment put the faintest reliance
upon such fragrant impeachment of his
honor. He stands to-day as high es be-
fore this breath of Islander was blown
upon him. The proceeding is outrageous.

SORGHUM CULTURE.

For the past six years the Sterling Syrup
works, of Sterling, Kansas, have grown
seven hundred acres of sorghum each
year and have manufactured the crop into
syrup. They have a number'of varieties
of sorghum seed and are anxious to have
them thoroughly tested, believing that
with proper attention and cultivation
the quality may be vastly improved, as
has been the result of experimental sta
tions in Europe where the sugar beet has
been carefully studied and the yield of
sugar much increased. 1t is believed a
variety of sorghum may be developed
which will produce much better syrup
than any variety now being cultivated.
Making good syrup is more matter of
purity of cane juice than expensive ma
ohinery. Chemistry has not yet succeeded
very we'll In clarifying impure juice. For
sugar making variety of sorghum
which would give juice containing
per cent of glucose and ~ per cent of
sucrose would allow the people of Texas
to produce sugar in large or small works j..
Much interest is now being manifested
in our state in the cultivation and devel-
opment of sorghum cane. In Fort Bend
county Col. Ed Cunningham, one of the
largest sugar planters in the south, is
culiivating 1000 acres, and if the results
are as satisfactory as he has reason to
believe they will be, he will largely in
crease his acreage next year. The soil
and the climate of Texas are both
adapted to the growth and development
of sorghum cane, and there is no reason
why, in the course of a few years, this
industry should not be given an impetus
which will make it the largest and most
productive one in the state.

THE STATE IMMIGRATION BUREAU.

In the telegraphic columns of The
STATESMAN yesterday morning was a pro-
test from citizens of Sherman in regard
to certain portions of the map of Texas
now being prepared by the state bureau
Of immigration. The Dallas News of the
oath also contained an open letter from
Colonel John F. Elliott, secretary of the
Dallas county immigration society, upon
the subject. Yesterday we called upon
Colonel Chiffon, the able and courteous
secretary of the state bureau, who said
that, while he regretted the publicity given
the matter, yet he would in no wise at
tempt defense. But, in the course of
conversation, Colonel Chiffon said if the
matter had been left entirely in his hands
by the executive board the map and all
statistics and data relating thereto would
have been perfect. The fact of omission
of names and of counties, and the addi-
ton of railroads to the map, that exist only
on paper, was not his fault. II the
proofs had been returned to him for
correction and revision, as should have
been done, these errors would not have
occurred. Not map should have been
issued until it was found correct in its
entirety. Denison would have been printed
in the same kind of type as other
towns of similar importance; its railroads
that exist only in imagination or on paper
would be lost to sight; not only Dallas
county statistics, but those of forty four
other counties, including four in Colonel
Chilton's own district, we're omitted from
the back of the map, though all of the
counties, with complete lists of county
organizations, etc, had been sent to the

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

Governor Mayes, principal chief of the
Cherokee Nation, has issued an address to
the people of his tribe in which he says
he proposes to lease what is known as the
"Cherokee Strip" embracing about six
millions of acres of land. These lands
at one time were leased by the Cherokee
Strip Livestock association at a yearly
rental of 100000 per annum, but Gov
ernor Mayes does not think this amount
an adequate compensation for the fran
chises, ard in order to obtain the highest
possible price for them, proposes to
advertise for forty days for sealed bids for
lease of five years of this desirable
property. Each bid must be accom-
panied by certificate of deposit of some
National bank, which shall also be a
United States depository, that the amount
of the first annual payment hes been
deposited by the bidder with such bank
subject to the order of the Cherokee
treasurer when the lease shall have been
executed and the first of October shall
have arrived, and by certificate of such
bank that the men are of high financial
standing and character That the rental
shall be paid annually in advance"

man makers and we're in their hands, be-
fore a single map should have been
issued. Of the half million or more maps
ordered, only fifteen thousand of them bad
been issued when Colonel Chiffon dis
covered these omissions and discrepan-
cies, and at once ordered the work stopped
until they could be corrected, and of those
maps printed thus none have been issued
or distributed from the state bu-
reau. The proper corrections have
all been carefully marked, and
the map publishers have been instructed
to change their photographic stone to cor
respond with them. While it is useless to
attempt a defense of the map as first
issued, fairness and justice dictates the
best policy to be to wait until the cor,
rected map, as approved by Colonel Chill
ton, has been issued, which we feel sure
will be satisfactory to ell interests and
localities. Colonel Chiffon, with limited
resources and hampered by onhcting
opinions of the executive board, has
labored earnestly, ably and faithfully
to build up and maintain en- immigration
bureau commensurate with the vast inter
ests and resources of this great state.
The fruits of his labor are now beginning
to ripen, and before the close of this year
will witness the largest flow of immigra-
ton into Texas ever before known.
