SEATTLE, TUESDAY. APRIL Z
Mr.. BLACKS RESIGNATION.

The announcement that Mayor Black has
resigned his Once win os received by the
psopls Of Seattle with surprise ard Intense
dissatisfaction. HIS plea OF ill-healih Is
entitled TO consideration, but the general
opinion ws be that he was lacking in tina;
moral courage which was believed 20 be
one Of his chief qualifications for the may
orally. The duties OF the office are not so
arauous as to unduiy tax physical strength
During the firzt weeks O, a new admins
fration there are exceptional cares and
annsyances due to the opportunities of
Office seekers. but these pass away as the
Offices are filed. and the remaining duties
are no more exacting than in any posi-
ton OF business responsibility
Resignation OF an Office because Of pub
lie disapproval may sometimes be jus,i-
Ned. but this was not the case with Mr..
Black He had Just been elected with so
strong 4 majority that he ha9 the most
gratifying assurance Of public approval
and support. He had accepted a public
trust under conditions which left him alb
solutely independent In the exercise OF his
rassmentJ with which political exigencies
often environ a candidate. The conditions
could not have been more propitious. and
Mr.. Blacks abandonment of the friends
who had formed high hopes of strong
and capable city administration al his
hands. may well feel mortified and cha
grined az the disappointment he has &C.
easioned them The city's interests de-
manded just now an exceptionally firm
and stable government. Mr. Black was
credited with a public spirit and execu-
tive force which promised well In the first
hours OF hts authority. and the citizens OF
Seattle are diagreeably surprised at the
lack OF stamina and sense OF responsible
fly he has shown In so feebly surrendering
his opportunities and so tuconsiderately
subordirating the elty's interests to mat
ters OF personal concern.
Mr.. Black was, moreover. the standard
bearer OF great political party, which
had selected him, in n most honorable way,
because OF their confidence in his indivId-
uality; and by his acceptance he deprived
that party OF the right OF a second choice.
Considerati ms of party policy no less than
OF personal preference governed the nom
mating convention. he was selected with
a view 20 bringing credit upon his party
ard to carrying out It's policy OF municipal
government. Acceptance Of such an office
carries with II the responsibility of filling
II. and with the honor goes duty which
should not be lightly shirked. Only the
high esteem in which Mr.. Black Is held.
and the conviction that he had no IN
worthy object in view. prevents his being
subjected TO very grave criticism.

Garpet A. Hobart.

The Cleveland o., World gave
away with it's Sunday edition of
March 1st, a handsome picture of
Hon. Garret A. Hobart, of Paterson.
Mr.. Hobart, is one of Monmouth's
favorite sons having been born in
this County and resided here until
he became of age. Following is an
extract from the World accompany
ing the picture.
"Who will the New Jersey delega-
tion vote for at st. Louis?" asked a
New York Herald reporter the other
day of prominent Trenton politic-
ian. First decide which end of the
ticket will be given Garret A. Ho-
BART" was the reply. This illustrates
the esteem il which Mr. H obart
held by those who for years have
been associated with HIM in politics.
Mr.. Hobart is prominent candi
date for Vice Presid ent. In the event
of McKinley's nomination he would
stand good chance for the place.
The half toned portrait which forms
the supplement of The Sunday
World is a good likeness, and the
biographical sketch printed else
where will give the readers of The
World an opportunity to learn some
thing about a man who for many
years has played an important part
in New Jersey and in ticnal poll
tics.
Now that New Jersey is a full
fiedged Republican State, why not
recognize the man who perhaps more
than any other one person, deserves
the credit for the Republican victory
last November.

Charles Kenneth, of this place, has
the latest style pea drill. 1t is of the

soon given him and he began to re-
vive. At this writing he is as we'll as
can be expected.

is it not abou time that eom
action was taken to give to Ex-Gov
ernor Newell, in some appropriate
form the credit which is his due for
devising and originating the Life

The service itself is a monument to
his agency, but a formal acknowl-
edgement should kbe made in his life

resolutions adopted by the present

graceful and grateful act, and W
