The New York Tribune Almanac for
1892, just out, is wonderful book. We
can hardly spare the space to enumerate
the whole list of contents of this admir-
able volume of reference. Our readers
can send to the Tribune for circular Civ
ing them full information, and we advise
them to follow this course, if they are in
doubt They can be sure, however, that
the Almanac contains all the statistical
information they are likely to want in
Guiding some specially valuable new fea-
lures. The country is discussing
Currency question now, and the Tribune
gives in this Almanac two tables of i'm.
mediate interest. One is the Coinage oil
the U. s. for every year since 1895. The
other is the circulating medium of each
kind and the total amount per capital for
each year since 1860 There is Perpet-
ual Calendar, copyrighted, of great value;
and great mass of other exceedingly
useful tables and statements. The great

TIKI State Board of Agriculture has is
sued partial report of the work done
during the past year. 1t includes the re-
ports of the secretary and the president of
the committee appointed to attend the
twenty third biennial session of the Amer
lean Pomoloeical society, of the execut-
i've committee, and the reports received
from the county boards. The facts pre-
scented in these reports are not new, as
most of them were published during the
session of the State Board last month
But the secretary of the board, Franklin
Dye, has added statistics bearing on ag-
riculture IN the United States which are
exceedingly interesting and give New
Jersey very prominent place. The state
has "a, 307 farms of an average size of So
acres. The value of the farm produce. per
farm, places New Jersey second in the
list, California being the only state in
which the products pay more per farm
This is due to the fact that while the aye
rage size of farms here is IS acres, in Cali
fornia it is 1872 The value of the total
products per farm in New Jersey is 1872
in California it is $1.660. A more valua-
BILE test of the value of farm land is the
value of products per acre. This places
New Jersey first. Her products, per acre,
are worth $1026, while those of New York,
which is next, are valued at $7.45 pei
acre Massachusetts. 1871; Rhode Island,
$7.95; Connecticut, $7.37; California, $3.50
In the Western states the values of the
products per acre, are generally lower than
In the Eastern states.
Appended to the report is the glowing
tribute of Editor Buckley. in which he
shows what the sand barrens" of New

issued call on Friday for meeting of
the committee at Taylor's Hotel in Jer-
sey City, Monday, March IA. to select the
date for the holding of the state conven-
ticn to elect delegates to the national con-
yention at Minneapolis. Chairman Kean
says the state convention will probably be
held in April
The New York World is nothing if not
a political juggler. In the last guberna-
torial campaign it raised its hands in hor-

poses to make it more easy for notorious,
defiant law-breakers to violate the law
This is the well-known, undisputed pur-

"Public OFFICE Private Snap"

And this is the way the Paterson Press
does up J. ]. Matthews, the superintend-
emit of the school Census, appointed under
the act creating the new Office.
Some one has been looking up the Of
fice-holdIng record of John j. Matthews,
Superintendent of School Census, the new
office created for him by the present Leg
ielature 1t is found that he has held Of
flee ever since he was 81 years old, having
been elected to the Elizabeth Board of
Education in 1888. Two years later he
was made secretary of the board. In 1887
and 1888 he was a member of the Assem-
bly,. In 1889 and 1890 he was Clerk of
the House. Next year removed over to
the Senate side and secured the Engross-
ing Clerkship. which he still holds. Now
he gets FIVE years appointment at sal
airy not yet fixed, but which will probably
be So, 300 year. There are 1875 school
districts in New Jersey, and allowing for
the extra enumerators in the cities, 1t will
be seen that Superintendent Matthews
will have the appointment Of about two
thousand persons, which he can be de-
pended upon to give to Democrats The
number of children in New Jersey be-
tween the ages of five and eighteen will
this year be very close to five hundred
thousand. and as the law increases the fee
from three to five cents for each name se-
cured by the canvassers, an increased ex-
penditure of $1,000 will be made. With
the salary of the new superintendent and
his clerical assistants, and other expenses,
the increase will amount to between $780,
600 and $4,000. And all this in q year
when it was announced that no new Of
fees were to be created and no salaries
increased, and by o law the passage OF

THE New York Tribune on Sunday pub
lished an article on roads, in which it held
up New Jersey as model for good high
ways. This may be true of the northern
part of the state, but in this section there
are many roads that are far from being
models of anything but as relics of neg
lect and carelessness. There is no way in
which New Jersey can SO surely attract
capital and enterprise as by LIBERAL poll
cy in road building. Let us place New
Jersey at the head of the roll OF states on
this question. Let her fine country road
system be known all over the Union.
