After having been open for navigation
since 1882, the Morris Canal is now about
to be closed and abandoned. 1t runs
from Jersey City to Phillipsburg, dis
lance of 10l miles, and when it was first
constructed it was regarded with pride
by the whole State as one of the most re-
markable canals in the world. The Lee
high Valley Railroad Company, its pres.
emit owners, find that its traffic does net
pay for its maintenance. Undoubtedly
the result is partly attributable to the
policy pursued by the Company, which
obtained control of the waterway for the
express pnrpose OF getting rid OF its com
petition in the coal carrying business.
But even if this traffic had been eucour-
aged and not diverted from the canal it
probably would have gone just the same.
With the present methods of handling
freight at the seaboard, the railways can
do the work more cheaply than the canal
The mere digging of the coal out the
boats is said to cost as much as the whole
freight over the railways, and as the
main traffic over the waterways at the
period when 1t was profitable consisted in
coal transportation, 1t has naturally be-
come useless. Neither the Lehigh Com
pany nor any other company that might
be organized to run tho canal independ-
emily could make it pay.
Tho Morris Canal has simply met with the
fate of the stage coach. In the march of

that part of it will probably be Allied up,
though when it was constructed it was
celebrated all over the world as brilli
ant triumph of canal engineering over the
obstacles of mountainous region. The
railways have beaten the Morris Canal 10
the carrying of coal, and therefore it will
remain, so far as it remains at all, as q
reminder Of the method of transportation
which has perforce fallen into dsuse. A
great work, which cost $4,000, 900, and,
has been in continuous use for more than
q half century, will go to ruin, aud the
triumphant railroads will have tho coal
transportation to themselves.

Elk Gov. Albeit has given notice that
il the Democratic nomination for Cover
nor is rendered to him this Fall, he will
accept it. We suppose that since his
failure to be chosen U. s. Senator there
was never any doubt that he would like
to serve second term as Governor il he
could get 1t. He is the sort of man for
whom private life has no charms He
has friends TO reward and enemies to
punish, which he can only do effectively
when occupying an official station with
considerable patronage attached to it.
But 1t is as yet by no means certain that
his desire to be Governor again will be
gratified. Unless Senator Mcpherson,
who controls good deal more than the
largest half OF tho Democratic party in
this State, has greatly changed his mind
since be took his departure for Europe a
few weeks ago, it certainly will not be.
He and his henchmen were then dead
against Albeit. And cx- Chancellor Run
yon, backed by the more conservative and
outwardly respectable elements of the
party, will make vigorous contest fol
the nomination, which under Senator
McPherson's shrewd manipulations will
force compromise candidate upon the
party-Senator Werts Of this county, fol
instance. Morristoson Jerseyman.
