Governor Werts, Inaugural.


We print in full in our news
columns, today, Governor Werts' In
augural address to the Legislature
and the people of the State. 1t is
written in a modest and impersonal
strain which is in keeping with the
character of the new Governor. 1t is
plain and matter of fact in all its
details. but it is earnest, conservative,
public spirited and truly Democratic
in every line.
The portion which will arouse the
most active interest in Jersey City is
that which deals with the water ques-
tion as an issue of State policy. 1t is
plain that Governor Werts holds very
advanced views upon this subject, and
it looks as If he meant to make them
heard in nc uncertain tones. The
Governors advocacy of the rehabili-
tation of the State Water Commission
with enlarged powers which would
give it control over the entire potable
water supply of the State, whether
distributed through private corpora
tions or by the municipalities them
selves. reaches the very marrow
of the question, and places be-
fore the people, the true So
luton of all the pending problems,
the settlement of rivalries and jeal-
ousies, the abolition of scandals about
unjust profits, the disposition, once
and forever, of all charges and suspic-
ions about bribery and corruption
and undue influence, Whether the
present Legislature will have suffice mt
courage and wisdom to adopt the
Governors idea, and act upon it con-
clusively, remains to be seen; if it fails
to do SO, we hope the Governor will
start an educational campaign, force
the party to make water an issue in
the State campaign of next ia IL, and
so lead on to the final triumph of the
peoples rights in the premises.
1t is plain that the coal trust-so
called-will meet with little encour
agement from Governor Werts-as
little as from Governor Albeit. What
he has to say on the su bject points to
the continuation of the warfa re in the
courts if the facts justify it. The sug-
gest;ons for the enactment of a law to
govern primary elections and political
conventions and caucuses show that
the Governor appreciates the necessity
of honest management within the
party organizations.
Taken as whole, the address is
just what we should have expected it
to be. Mature in thought, liberal in
spirit, Democratic in tone, it is just
what the inaugural words of a Demo
cratic Governor of New Jersey should
be. We receive it with pleasure as
the presage of a wise, popular and
eminently Democratic administration.
THE following article was written
last evening before the Senatorial
caucus took place, and before it was
even known that it would take place;
we have nothing to add to it and
nothing to withdraw
Governor Abbett's Retirement.
Governor Albeit retires to private
life today, the strongest and most
popular democrat in the State of New
Jersey, just the same as when he as
sumed the Office. He has enemies
now as then, and the bitterest Of
these are the Republican leaders who
have never met with anything but
defeat when they encountered him.
But he has the people on his side, and
more than ever On his side since the

The Smith men say that the most potent
factor IN causing the Albeit men to ADAM
don the contest was the fact demonstrated
to a certainty that the Governor had only
twelve and possibly only eleven votes out
of the fifty-five composing the caucus.
The men who were said to be for Smith
were the nine. men from Essex: Kelly inc
Lane from Union; all four of the Middle :

triumph of his crusade against the
Reading Coalcombine became assured.
If the Office of United States Sena-
Tor were to be filled by popular vote,
tomorrow, Governor Albeit would
be chosen to it by an overwhelming
majority of the whole people. Ii his
nomination as Democratic candidate
for the Office depended on popular
suffrages. he would be chosen by an
overwhelming majority of all tn e
democrats in the State.
We are told by all the morning
papers and not a few Democratic
papers throughout the State that his
chances of election by the Democratic
members of the Legislature are poor.
We are told that certain Headers"
throughout the State exercise a con-
troll over the votes in the two Houses
which will compass his defeat. We
will not believe this true until we see
it como to pass. We will not believe
that anything SO dishonorable to the
Democratic party can ave become a
reality. Such an event, in our judg-
ment, would undermine the funda-
mental faith without which a party
organization cannot exist, and would
d~isastrously discredit the Democracy
with the people.
We believe, when the time comes,
justice and wisdom and honor will
prevail in this contest. We believe
narrow prejudices and personal ami
mosities will be put aside. We be-
lieve Mr.. James Smith, Jr., will
redeem his often reiterated pledges,
and will insist, as he did so far back
as 1891, that Leon Albeit shall be.
not only the Senator, but the only
candidate for the Office. We believe
Mr.. Smith will see that, in this way,
and in this way only, can he win a
commanding position in the State.
Assuredly, if things go the other
way, Governor Albeit in his defeat,
will be far more to be envied than
anyone, no matter who, who may be
concerned in his overthrow.

concerned IN his overthrow.
The School Principals and Mr. Jones.
The reply of the School Principals
to Mr.. Jones of the Board of Educa-
ton, is given in full in another
column. 1t reached the Office of The
JERSEY CITY NEWS yesterday, but
too late for publication, except at the
expense of emitting an equal quantity
of the current news of the day. Our
space is very much at the service OF
the School Principals, whose cause we
most earnestly sympathize with, but
our first duty is to furnish the news to
the public, and we invariably hold all
other things secondary to that object.
The document is we'll worth read
ing. 1t is a fair, logical, spirited, and
at the same time, dignified rebuttal OF
Mr.. Jones' charges. 1t establishes,
from the history of the case, the claim
of the teachers to the increase of pay
which they ask. 1t shows that they
had for years displayed great patience
and moderation in waiting for relief !;
it shows that, when they sought it,
they did so after the name of gen.
tlemen and honest claimants, openly
and above board, on the facts and the
merits of the case, and not. as MI.
Jones, so gra~tuitously asserted, in any
underhand way, by any trick or COM
bination or by any counting of mere
favor.
Mr.. Jones' absurd fallacy based on
the alleged number of applicants for
places is beautifully riddled as to the
issue of fact. The Principals might
have further gone into the moral
aspect OF the case with equal effect.
II, for instance, the foreman of a
printing house, after rising from the
grade of apprentice to the head of the
office by long years of devotion and
by superior ability in his craft, should
ask for a raise of pay to put him
on the level with what other men in
similar positions were receiving, would
it be a sufficient answer that many
other men could be got for less
money? This may be a homely K
ample, butt is a cogent one. If Mr..
Jones is as good a business man as we
take him to be, he will see the force
of it.
But we can forgive Mr.. Jones for
being wrong on the salary question.
He is only carried away by a little
misdirected zeal. The ~unforgivable
thing is the indiscretion of his temper
and his language. For this, We are
sure, he will apologize at the first
suitable opportunity.
