I ought TO be Republican State. because II owes
the bulk of It's industrial greatness and general
nrosperity to Republican policies, and because
II owes what It has suffered. through idle fac
tories and prostrated industries, to Democratic
laundering and plundering. There Is, however,
another special reason why the Republicans
oupbt 70 win this year. That is, that Repub-
uconism there as in other places. means good
government. while Democracy means incapacity
and corruption Never in any State was that
issue more clearly drawn. For quarter Of a
century the Democrats had unbroken control.
In all that time iobbery bore sway and Trenton
was a moral pesthouse There was no thought
of investigation or reform until the Republicans
gained possession Of the Legislature.
They did 50, by virtue of an indignant uprising
of the people. and after desperate fight. in
1894; but by Il majority Of only one in the upper
house. which was too slender TO warrant any
radical proceedings. This year. however, they
had an overwhelming majority Accordingly
they went to work with bold, strong hand
They enacted th%laws which the people wanted
enacted They repealed the laws which the peo-
pie wanted repealed. Then they set out fear
lessy to expose and to eradicate the corruption
which every one knew existed in the State gov
ernment The story Of their Investigations IS
still fresh in mind, and the end Of II Is not yet
The revelations have been literally appalling
Jobbery and corruption every where. from the
highest officers Of State down to the humblcst
employees; dishonest contracts, false vouchers,
the purchase of private supplies ut public ex-
pense, the use Of public money in private spec
uations without interest or security, the sale OF
pardons by the Governor hmself-these, and
similar infamles, have made up large share OF
the government of the State for twenty-five
wears True, one Of the men accused and in
dcted Of wr0ngdOing has been acquitted. But
that makes the case against Ring and Gang all
the worse 1t was the one thing needed TO cap
the climax Of infamy. If the business OF the
State can be conducted as it indisputably has
been, and the men responsible for 1t can get
free from blame and punishment on technicali-
ties 1t Is high time for the whole scandalous
system to be cut up root and branch. That Is
the work the Republican party has undertaken
in New-Jersey, under an unmistakable commits
sion from the people. For the completion Of
that work it needs, and the people need, to carry
the Legislature again by an overwhelming ma
jority. and also to secure the Governorship and
its appontlve and executive power. That can
be done. and we believe 1t will be done. 1t must
be done If all that has been gained in the last
two years Is not to be lost, and if the State of
New,Jersey Is not to fall back into the unclean
clutches of pardon brokers and racetrack gam

A MILD REPROACH.

4 II is said that the Corporation Counsel has
lust granted a leave Of absence to one Of his
subordinates who has been in the cty's law office
for twenty years and never had vacation until
now. We assume that this individual might
have had numerous vacations II he had wanted
them. and has voluntarily renqushed rights or
privileges which others cling TO. 1t Is a rather
remarkable case, and is likely to excite the ad-
mration Of taxpayers long acquainted with a
very different kind Of public servant. But at
the risk Of giving comfort to municipal en-
ployes who are quite comfortable enough al
ready. we say that this persons assiduity Is not
altogether creditable to him or his former SUI
perlors, and probably has not been entirely adj
vantageous to the public. We do not know what
his special duties are. whether laborlous or COM
paratvely easy; but the presumption is that they
have been on the whole satisfactorily performed,
for otherwise he would scarcely have kept his
place under so many administrations, including
the present one We should not be surprised TO
learn that he is not only industrious. but ntei-
gent and worth even more than his salary.
1t Is not at all improbable, however, that he
would be worth considerably more to the city
by this time II he had taken n reasonable num-
ber Of vacations during the last twenty years
Indeed 1t would he extraordinary II he had not
in the course Of his uninterrupted service, done
n good deal of work which he would have done
better II he had not been quite so striking an
exception 10 the general rule. Unless he IL
mlracuoilsly protected from the Ills which flesh
Is heir to- there must have been times when
nature rebellcd against an rnbrokcn routine OF
sedcntnry labor. The wonder Is that Nature did
not knock him flat on his back long ago. having
become tired Of giving warnings which were I'm
Needed. and. however robust he may think he
atill IT, we do not believe hc has taken his first
vacation soon enough for his own good The
chances nrc equally strong that he has not tnkon
II soon enough for Tho good of the community.
nnd we mildly rcpronch Mr.. Ncoita predecessors
that they did not break his record Of persistence
some time ngo
good many practices which bear The sem
blnnce Of excellence are less vlrluous than they
appear when first brought 10 notice. and cx-
cessyc taxation Of mind and body, except under
the stress OF necessity. Is one Of them. 1t IL gen
orally not fine and laudabe thing 10 break
down from overwork. but foolish thing. II is
an unworthy use Of faculties which were meant
TO last as long as they were needed and a gricv
Gus Injustice 10 others besides the voluntary and
perhaps vain victim. We hope that the Cor
poration Counsers assistant may return with
keen sense Of physical and mental wellbeing,
and continue to serve the city at least twenty
years longer-with occasional vacations.

Paris, have Just had conference with ex-Consu
Waller in his prison at Clairvaux. The rule re-
curing an official to be present during the in

ton was substantially private. Mr.. Waller made
a full statement regarding the circumstances OF
his arrest and trial by court-maria, and 1t will
be transmitted TO our State Department The
ex-Consul's health has improved since his arrival
In France. and especially since he was sent TO
Clairvaux. As he IS sentenced to solitary con-

Eustis TO have the rule relaxed In this regard.
Obviously. that is the smallest thing that should
be done in Mr.. Walters behalf by our Govern

sincere and earnest devotion of President Cleva-
land TO Civil Service reform, and knowing also
how bitter and fierce is his hatred against every
thing that smacks in the least of the 'pernicious
activity" sometimes exercised in politics by
ofice-holders even Of his own appointment, our
heart goes out TO him in sympathy Situated as
he now is. immersed in piscatoral and other
cares as he must be, and protected from public
intrusion as he is by Buzzards Bay in front.

fear that false ambition has seized him. and
that he Is trusting too much to his own arrogant,
albeit "consecrated," judgment Surely 1t Is
time for him TO undergo a course Of severe self
examination, which must undoubtedly result In
bringing him to realize that day Of reckoning
will come; that the days of President Clcvelands
