PLEDGED TO SILVER.

The s. F. Chronicle in speaking
of Stewards interview with Secre-
tary Window says:
Secretary Window is inclined to
monometallism, and finds it hard
to think OF silver dollars as money.
Fortunately for the people the
declaration of the platform of the
Republican party is sufficiently
explicit on this point, and Mr..
Window will have to carry out the
policy to which he, in common
with the President, stands pledged.
He has referred Senator Stewards
request to the Cabinet, and says
that nothing will be done until the
subject has been discussed by the
President and his entire Cabinet.
Stewart will have an interview with
President Harrison on the question
of silver, and it is not unreasonable
to suppose that Window may re-
ceive new light on the subject,
and may conclude that he had
better carry ont the American
doctrine OF bimetalllsm.

MORNING APPEAL
CHEVEKEUL

Apart from the distinction won
by NJ. Chevreul as a chemist, his
life is one of remarkable interest
because of the historic period it
covered. At the time Of his birth,
Bonaparte had just been commiss-
toned a second lieutenant; Danton
and Robespierre were obscure law
yers; Frederick the Great had been
dead only short time; Catherine
III was Empress of Russia; the
United States under the Constitu-
ton was on the eve OF birth. Three
years ago the Paris Figaro reminded
lis readers that Chevreul had seen
three Kings of France, one King of
the French, two Emperors, three
Republics, So Marshals, 66 Minis
listers Of Justice, rs Ministers OF
Marine, 81 Ministers of War and
% Ministers of the Interior. Yet,
during all the governmental disturb
ances which this record represents,
beginning with the French Revolu-
ton and ending with the third Re
public, Chevreul's life, devoted to
science, passed with scarcely rip
pie disturbing its surface.

THERE is some grumbling about
the way the town has become invol-
we'd in debt, but right here, Newark
to-day is superior town to the New
ark f'SS. To improve upon this inn
provement electric lights should be
adopted. AS it was stated two weeks
ago by Taxpayer" that $40 was
expended every year by council to
pay for lighting the town. This APP
pears to be quite sum to tax-pay-
ers, and it is really too much to pay
for such poor lighting. The expense
attached to running an electric plant
is small, and see what greater adj
vantages we receive. Every house,
and store can use electricity, and we
haven't the least doubt that in a
short time the plant would be sell
sustaining.
In few days free holders will be
called upon to vote "for" or against
this question. Before casting your
vote make yourself fully acquainted
with the whole affair. There is al
ways two sides to every question, o.
this kind. The rate of taxation may
be trife higher, but let US save q
little from what we spend on some
thing else.
Let us all vote for more money
and electric lights.

The express companies in this
State are squirming because there is
a bill before the Legislature asking
that a certain tax be levied on them.
Just why express companies should
be exempted from paying a tax,
does not seem clear, because if such
corporations are not simon-pure mo-
nopolies, then the Standard Oil Com
pany, and other like concerns, are
not monopolies. While express
companies are, as public conviences,
much appreciated, they should no
more be allowed to conduct their
business in State without paying
a tax proportionate to the amount
of business they do, than railroad
companies. AS we have stated be-
fore, express companies should be
compelled to pay both State and
county tax, even though the rate fix.

THIS town isI about to pass through
another importantelection in one
to elect president and members Of
Council and vote for two loans Of
v'hiGle--.a eamplete the
wa and put in an electric
light plant. 1t is not discrete, per-
baps, in bringing this matter before
the citizens in such shape, yet there
cannot be any serious objection rails
ed why the question should not be
presented. The electric lightscheme
is no hap-hazzard affair. 1t is pure
ly necessity in fact, as much so as
a water supply, and the cost of es-
tablishing the plant nearly one-tenth
less. The increase in taxation would
amount to practically nothing, be-
cause the revenues derived would
fully cover all expenses. Nay,
more, it would result in placing in
the town treasury a surplus after the
first year of its introduction. So we
say again the bringing of these two
questions under one vote should not
strip them of their vital Importance.
Every citizen who desires better
light, and at a cost little in excess of
coal oil or gasoleine, must remember
that in voting for a loan for such a
purpose, they will exercise privi-
lege that will result well for the
town.
