NO EXCUSE FOR IT.
From the Neauark Sunday eau.

From the NelCGrt Sunday CdlI.
There is no excuse for any vote cast in
the Legislature to override the veto of
Governor Werts on the so-called Wauser
bill. The attempt made by soma to es-
cape public condemnation behind the
caucus resolution will not succeed. A
matter of high principle was involved,
upon which the Governor of the State,
holding the same political creed as the
majority, had taken his stand. 20
Senator or Assemblyman should have
bound himself to override veto
under such circumstances. The
violation of sound principles of gov
ernment, the injury done to Jersey City
and Newark interests, the betrayal of
faith pledged at the last election, the in
suit to the Governor, the shameful
obedience TO the corrupt elements behind
the blll-all and more were admitted, and
should have prevented any Senator or
Assemblyman from voting to defeat the
patriotic action of Governor Werss.
We print the veto message In detail in
another column, because it is full and
conclusive StdteHleut, uceuiuR uO Itlus1rd-
tion or definition to convince any man of
intelligence of the entire fairness and rea-
sonableness of the veto. The bill takes
away rights of Home Rule which the
Democratic party was pledged to main
tain, and which Governor Werts was
elected to uphold in campaign where
that issue took the precedence Of every
other. In turning their back on that
principle the Democrats In the Legisla-
ture have committed crime against
good government and honest party prin-
ciples, which should defeat every one Of
them, aud it is to be hoped the people
will thrash them as they deserve.

WILL GOV. WERTS HAVE
COURAGE?

From The NetU York sun of Yesterday
Such an opportunity as occurs once or
twice, at the most. in the career Of any
Governor Of New Jersey.
Let him recall to Trenton the Legisla-
ture that has just adjourned after having
def1ed and inaulted the honest public
sentiment of the State by the passage of
the Parker gambling acts.
Let Governor Werts call an extra ses-
sion Of this scandalous Legislature and
force its dishonored members to face
squareIy the question of the repeal of the
infamous legislation of last month.
Governor Werts is honest, and the cir
cumstances under which he became
candidate last fall, make him indepen-
dent of the dictation of rings or bosses
or factions. He represents the whole
Democratic party. II he has the courage
to do the right thing now, he can render
to the Democratic party in New Jersey,
not less than to decent government and
the States good name, a service Of the
highest Importance.
Unfortunately, great majority of the
boughten or bulldozed Legislators who
put through the race track bills over Gov
ernor Werts' veto. and then lodged pub
lie Indignation and SUNK home. are DEM
ocrats. The scandal Of 1898, one of the
greatest scandals that ever attached to
any Legislature in any State, rests princi-
pally on the Democratic party. In the
next Assembly elections and in the
next Senate elections the Democracy
will have to pay the penalty; that is,
unless Governor Werts does his duty
now as Democratic leader and Chief
Magistrate. In that case, retribution
will fall where 1t belongs, upon individ-
ual offenders. In the other case 1t will
fall heavily and disastrously upon the
Democracy as an organization.
We have not in mind merely such
demonstrations of protests as have been
made by leagues of citizens and bodies of
clergymen and public indignation meet
ings. Behind all these manifestations of
outraged public sentiment. there is on
the part of many thousands of self-re-
specting Democrats in the State
across the river, great and growing
sense of shame and disgust at the
recent performance of the representatives
they helped to elect. If the scamps can
be punished. the wrong righted. and the
credit of Democracy redeemed through
party discipline, SO much the better. If
not, the now silently indignant will In
evitably take other methods of express
ing their ideas as to how great State
should be governed.
The Governor knows what is good
citizenship. and he also knows what is
coed politics. Has he political courage?

THE MURpHYs OF CARLOW.

One of Them Wanted and One Found,
but John is Corkonian.
Sheriff Stanton received strange epis-
tie by yesterdays mail. 1t was IN the
form of petition for information which
will disclose the whereabouts of James
Murphy. The letter is from Mrs.
Kate CostaHzo of No. 1880 Sixteenth
street, Denver, Col. and particular
emphasis is laid on the statement shat
she is but twenty-five years old and iS
the mother OF TOUR children. She says
she is we'll fixed, does not want any
thing from James Murphy except bis
address. In concluding her letter she
explains that her reason for being solicit
GUS of his (Murphy's) welfare is that he
is her father. Mrs. Costanzo states in
her letter that she believes her father is.
or was, residing at No. 27S First street.
The woman explains for Murphy's benefit,
in case he hears OF this communication,
that she was born in Carlow, ireland.
Her mother, whose maiden name was
Lizzie Curran, died when she (Mrs.
Costanzo) was born. Prior to the
time James Murphy came to
this country. he was conductor
on a railroad operated between Dub
lin and Carlow. Katie Murphy when
but a child was given in charge Of a
charitably disposed lady named Leonard.
Her identity was concealed for years. but
when she arrived at the age of fourteen
she learned that Mrs Leonard was
not her mother, but that her
own mother had died, and that
her father had sailed for America
with another woman, and taken up u
residence in this city. Mrs. Costanzo
having never seen her father, has become
possessed of wild desire TO lust see
what he looks like" and learn
something more Of the history of
her family. What she now
knows she learned from brother who
still resides in Carlow. She also says
that her father has sister residing in
the same vicinity. AT No. 276 First street
Murphy resides, but his first name
is John. He has received two letters
from Mrs. Costanzo's brother in Carlow,
but says he has returned them. He
claims Cork as his residence and says
that he never had the honor Of knowing
the Murphys of Carlow.
Sheriff Stanton intends doing all in his
power to aid the lady toidiscover her
fathers Whereabouts aud present condi-
ton, if alive.
