large print make it the easiest paper IN
the country to read. either on the cars
when coming to town or at home.
Every reader of THE TRIBUNE. no
matter in what corner of the earth, re-
ceives the New Jersey news. so that the
State and it's affairs are kept constantly
before the world.
The suggestion that Governor-elect Griggs
should name Franklin Murphy for one of the lay
judgeships In the Court of Errors is one that will
meet with general appreciation from all who
know Mr. Murphy. no matter what their politics.
Mr. Murphy is a man Of culture, he has the
judicial temperament and added to these MS
business experience and wide knowledge of men
and affairs make him an ideal man for the place
Not since the selection OF William Walter Phelps
for similar office has there been an appoint
ment that would be so n,anifestly ft and proper
es that of Mr. Murphy.
Those extreme Republican partisans who see in
the election Of John w. Griggs as Governor Of
New-Jersey nothing greater or better than an
opportunity to grab Offices had better read care
fully the speech delivered in Jersey City last
Friday night by the Governor-elect This para
graph is meant for their special benefit
have received many letters asking ana demand
ing good government and nothing more II is
glorious fact that man In the Republican party
has asked me to legslate solely for the Republ-
cans No one has asked me 10 turn out Democrats
and put Republicans In. That's for Democrats TO
DO They can do IT when they get in again, but
when they DO get In again II will be when we have
failed fulfil the wishes Of the people. and not till
then. The people ask TO select good men. give
good government and cut off sinecures. You have
the opportunity 10 help do that. We shall rely on
you to help your officers as long as they fulfil the
will Of the people
That shows how clearly Mr.. Griggs gauges the
situation. The Republican party has been elected
TO power In New-Jersey by the votes Of men who
were tired Of rascality. extravaganza and usurpa-
ton OF the peoples rights. and they will keep the
party IN power just go long as 1t fufs Its pledges
to give good government. to manage the States
affairs economically. to promote home rule and
to have none but clean and able men in office.
Newarks Police Commissioners blandly refuse
to enter upon rigorous crusade against the sale
OF liquor on Sundays In a letter to the Christian
Citizenship Union they say:
What shall be done. and what can properly be
done In regard to the sale Of beer and liquor on
sundays7 To enforce the ordinance vigorously Is
possible only spasmodically. and such spasmodc en-
forcement would meet with the condemnation OF all
citizens An attempt TO enforce 1t vigorously ana
continuously would result in utter failure.
To that the Union. through Its president, the
Rev S. Edward Young. retorts:
How can intelligent men proclaim such falsehood
as that, knowing what New-YOrk. Philadelphia, At
anta Toronto and other cities OF this continent are
doing? With the present Police Commissioners n
Newark and the abominabe mixing up OF politics
and police duties IT might be utter failure; but IL
has not been In New-York and elsewhere with men
who respect their oaths standing at the helm II the
Commissioners imply by this that the rank ana HE
of the police force in Newark are such inferior men
as to be incapable Of accomplishing what policemen
have accomplished in other cities. we resent IN
Justice to the men Of the force, this imputation
The weak spot is the Board Of Police Commissioners
not the policemen.
This Issue threatens to be the leading one IN
the municipal campaign In Newark when the city
elects Mayor Heretofore. In every election
that turned on the Sunday closing question. the
advocates Of a strict enforcement of the law were
dsastrously beaten.
