NOBODY will deny that New Jersey
ought to have a proper residence for
its Governor at the State Capital.
The Governor should have his head
quarters at Trenton every day and
not one a week, and it is %unreason-
able to expect him to buy or lease a
house there when he owns or holds
one that he cannot easily get rid of,
in some other city.
But, whenever the State goes about
acquiring an Executive Mansion, it
must steer clear of the real estate
jobber. The movement now being
coddled and nursed by the Trenton
papers has a very queer look. We
have a notion that some gentleman
in that city has something to sell and
is quite willing to sell it and the State
at one and the same time.
The Legislature had better be ex-
ceedingly slow about the matter.

a pure ghost story, a brilliant society sketch,
the history of an interesting cat, and a vivid

JUDGING from the peculiar trend of
the opposition to the Rockaway
water contract, we suspect that the
real persons behind it are some very
shrewd politician or politicians, who,
for purposes of his or their own, are
making the most of the Utopian ideas
of a few honest opponents of the
scheme.
We do not yet fully perceive the
motive of the opposition; but it might
be possible that some ex-pot house
politician who had lately taken up
the reform cry-for business purposes
only-was anxious to make a tuppenny
Dick Croker of himself by making be-
lieye to take a leading part in an
enterprise in which he is worse than a
deadhead
If there is any scheme of this sort
afoot. Mayor Wanser ought to look
out for it. Mayor Wanser will be the
chief reliance of the public in this
water business, and if it is a big sue
cess, his name will be ~inalienably con-
nected with it as a b%enefactor of the
city. He may not be the originator
of the idea; but if he faithfully pro-
tects the city in the execution of the
contract and the performance of the
work, no man will stand ahead of him
on the record.

Coal Prices and Coal Consumption.
That there are more remedies than
one for any wrong inflicted OF the
public through monopoly in coal. we
have often asserted. One of these is
illustrated in an item which we find
in a New York paper, which says that
there is serious stagnation in the ship
ping of coal at the Port Johnston and
other coal docks. In other words,
high prices mean small consumption.
Probably never before were so many
gas stoves used in this vicinity as last
summer. Never before were weather
strips in such demand; and never be-
fore was there such consumption of
coke. Pretty nearly everyone has
adopted some scheme of economy,
great or small, in coal consumption;
many not because they feel the pinch,
but out of sheer resentment at the
raise of price.
Nothing will bring the coal barons
to time quicker, if they are over-
charging. Serious shrinkage in bust
ness will hurt the Reading, not only
at the mine, but on the rail. 1t will
be cheaper for it to cut prices and do
more business than get a fancy rate
and have its breakers and its ears idle.
On the other hand, if its claim that
the coal supply is growing short and
that the increased price is a product
of the inevitable, why then the en-
forced economy of con sumption is a
good thing.
The coal middle is of the kind that
always rights itself. 1t is not in ma
ture for any permanent wrong to ex-
ist where a necessity of life is concern
