The situation in the state.


We copy today from the Newark EVEN
ing News a most interesting and valu-
able article on the political situation in
the State. 1t seems to indicate that the
going over Of Republicans to the silver
side is a matter of rumor, while the adj
hesion Of Democrats to the gold standard
is a matter of fact. AT least, the abls
correspondent of the Evening News
was unable to find any Republicans worth
speaking about who were out for silver.
while the Democrats who are for gold
were plentiful and prominent.
Judge Howard Carlow is hardly doing
himself justice in this fight. He seems
to be trimming. He seems to be tending
to silver while his brains and his con-
science are for gold. This is a special
pity in the case of a man like Judge
carrow, who had a high reputation for
honor and intellect, and who seemed to
be a coming leader in the Democracy
The motive assigned for his course does
not palliate his offense. 1t only serves to
show how weak a vessel he may be. Let
us hope the Judge is doing himself less
than justice by his silence, and that he
will come out fat-footed for gold before
It is too late. Silence in such a crisis
is mere imbecility.
Fred Marsh Of Elizabeth swallows
Bryan on the ground that he has re-
ceived too many honors from the Demo
cratic party to desert it. What humbug
this Isl How can the honors which a
man receives from a party bind him to
betray his country? If Marsh decidedly
dissents'' from the Chicago platform, as
he says he does. how can he support it
without writing himself down either a
knaye or a fool?
There is no question of deserving the
Democratic party in opposing Bryan. 1t
is only deserving a name. The principle,
the essence. the life is not there. The
word Democracy is a stolen and a thread
bare garment draped upon the shoulders
Of a man who is no more of a Democrat
than Tom Watson or Senator PETER, and
who is far more dangerous to the peace
and prosperity of the country than
Johann Most.
TO the unexpert vision, the new water
bids do not differ materially from the for
mer ones. The plans are about the
same and the prices are not very different.
IT Is hard to see any reason why an
award should not be made this time.
There are two bids. The prices are as
low as they ever were: the terms are not
~unfayorable.
There seems to be more thar a little
likelihood that the East Jersey Water

pAE QUEEN'S SPEEGH.

In obedience to a time-honored
custom, the Qacca, apou the assem-
bling of Parliament last Monday, de
livered the usual speech or address.
The Queens speech is always
written by the Prime Minister and
the Queens part in connection
Herewith is simply the perfunctory
reading of message already pre-
pared for her by her ministers. 1t
is the Queens speech only in namej
it is in fact the speech of the Prime
Minister read from the throne and
deals with such questions and makes
just such recommendations as Her
Maiesty's servants see proper to
present.
The Queens speech on last Mon
day was therefore written by Lord
Salisbury, the same old duffer who
recently made a bluff at your Uncle
Samuel by curt and sarcastic re-
ply to Secretary Olneys note re-
questing the British Government to
submit the British Venezuelan
boundary dispute to arbitration.
It will, therefore, be interesting
to know just what Her Majesty
(Lord Salisbury had to say about
the Venezuelan question, The
Queens spe ech says:
"The Government of the United
States have expressed wish to CO.
operate in terminating the differ
ences which have existed for many
years between my government and
that country and my colony of
British Guiana. have expressed
my sympathy with the desire to
come to an equitable arrangement,
and I trust that further negotia-
tions will lead to a satisfactory set
Element.
This goes to show that Lord Sails
bury has modified his views some
what since his late correspondence
with Secretary Olney. It also indi-
Gates that His ordship has learned
a thing or two since then, and that
there will be no war between Eng
land and the United States.
It is now very apparent that the
Administration and the United
States Congress have adopted the
correct course to bring the naughty
Lord to terms.

DREW WHITE.

In our announcement column in
this.issue will be found the announce
ment of Mr.. Drew White as a candi-
date for City Clerk at the ensuing
city election, Tuesday, April :. Ii
will be remembered that Mr.. White
was candidate for the same posi-
ton two years ago and came within
few votes of election, and he now
submits his claims to the voters of

the earnest desire of this time being
successful. Mr.. Drew White is a
very deserving, intelligent and ex-
emplary young man, and is in every
way qualified for the position TO

seven years he has been cashier for

the full confidence Of his employers,

entail friends. Should he be elected

A SERIOUS disatfection has broken
out among the Republicans in Ken
lucky against Hunter, the Repnbli-
can caucus nominee for United
States Senator, and it is now be-
lieved that the Jig is up" with the
Republicans in that State SO far as
the Senatorship is concerned. At
the joint session Tuesday three Re.
publicans voted against Hunter, and
one of them, Senator Hessom, has
openly declared that he will not
vote for the caucus nominee again.
On the other hand, Hunters friends
declare that they will not vote for
any other Republican for Senator
and are threatening all sorts of dire
vengeance against the deserters. 1t
is an old adage that "when rogues
fall out honest men get their due,
and after all, Blackburn, or some
other good Democrat, may be
elected

SAYS the Arkansas Democrats ga
constitutional convention could be
had at an expense of $50, 600 to $40,
900. The relief it would bring to the
tax payers in equalizing the burdens
of taxation, in granting relief to town
and county in local improvements,
in giving longer terms of office to
State and county officers and in re
ducing the number of elections,
would be worth millions to the peo-
pie. Mississippi ought to be an ex-
ample to US of what can be done by
change in the organic law in these
respects. "

IF the published reports of the
Senatorial debate between Jones and
Clarke be true, the Governor is dis
seminating some very unwholesome
doctrine He is reported to be not
only declaring the Mckinley robber
tariff bill better than the Wilson
bill, but teaching a disregard of Su-
preme Court decisions, declaring
them to be "only the opinions of
men" The stability of our Govern
ment, of human society and of civil
law rest upon confidence in and
submission to the DEGREES of our ju-
dicial tribunals. Break that down
and anarchy at once stalks abroad
Such leaders are dangerous indeed.

THE Democrats of Pennsylvania
have started a presidential boom for
ex-Gov. Robt. e. Pattison, Of that
State. The boom was launched at a
meeting of the State Democratic
Central Committee, at which it was
decided to formally present Gov.
Pattison's name to the National
Democratic Convention. Gov. Pat
tison is a very able and brilliant
man, and if the Dmecrats of Penn
sylyania can give any assurance of
the electoral vote of that State for
the National Democratic ticket, Gov.
Pattison may develop considerable
strength in the National Gonven-
ton.
