FORiKRR'S VIEWS.
What he Thinks Of the Passage Of
the Belligerenoy Resolution,

Senator Foraker, in response to q re-
quest from the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune, gives his view of the Cuban
resolution as follows:
Recognition of belligerency means
nothing more than ns expressed in the
Morgan resolution, that we propose to
take position OF neutrality, and here
after treat the Cubans precisely as we
treat Spain.
ut puts us in a position to protest
against illegitimate warfare. 1t is not
an act of hostility to Spain, but it will
no doubt be a dlsagreeable act in her,
because it places the Cubans on an
equality with her, and puts us in a
position to say to her that hereafter
combatants taken in battle shall be
treated as prisoners of war, instead Of
being shot in their tracks as traitors.
1--WE can also protest against illegiti-
mate methods of warfare of every kind.
THE right of search of our mer-
chantmen relates to contraband goods
OF war, and to release Spain from liza
bihty to make reparation for injury to
American citizens aud the destruction
OF their property will not be serious,
since the right OF search is we'll defined
and no abuse of it would be tolerated,
and so far as damages are concerned,
Spain denies her liability in the first
place and is bankrupt anyhow.
ut is my opinion, to state in word,
that the recognition of belligerency is
the beginning OF the end of the most
atrocious and horrible tyranny and war
that has disgraced the civilization Of
the nineteenth century.

merous engravings representing va

among them being our own ID, K. Hol-

set OF very fierce whiskers decorating
his claaslc features. The engraving

The election of a Republican legisla-
ture in Ohio this fall is of vast impor-
tance to the party and the country gem
orally. The election of Senator to the
U. S. Senale from Ohio has much to do
with the possibilities of the administra-
tion of President Mckinley. The Pres
1dent must be supported aud no support
will be OF greater value to him than the
election of Senator Hanna to succeed
himself. Great promises haye been
made by the party and these promises
are being fulfilled as rapidly as it is
possible, and the President must have
hearty and capable support and all the
pledges of the party will be redeemed.

Ohio wool-growers will be interested
in the fact that the April importations
of foreign woods came from over thirty
countries and colonies scattered over
the entire civilized world and aggre-
gated over 100 million pounds. That
is one OF the reasons why everything at

The earnings of the T. & o. G. Ry.
Co. for the month of May of this year
show very neat increase over that of a
year ago. For the third week of May,
1897, the earnings were S35,S62, for
1896, $27, ,554. A total increase of
$S,3OS. When the excellence of the
passenger service is considered this
increase in earnings is a very patural
consequence.

BoRTON's NOMINATION..

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.
MOUNT HOLLY. Sept. "a, 1s97.-The
nomination of Joshua E.. Borton, for
State Senator. by the Republican county
convention, to be held on Saturday. lis
a foregone conclusion, and there is q
probability that he may be dominated on
the first ballot.
Ninety-fve votes are necessary for a
choice, and Mr.. Borton's opponents now
concede him that number. In case he
should lack a few votes on the first
ballot. it is believed that some OF those
who favor him as their second choice
will make a change. and thus settle the
contest, The combined strength of
Wildes. Parry and Matlack may be CEN
tered on one of these candidates with the
object Of defeating Borton. but it is be-
lieved that such a coalition cannot be sue
cessful.
1t is very evident that Borton is not
the choice Of the people. Four districts
have already threatened to knife him If
he is nominated. If Mr.. Borton is the
choice of the convention he will be elect
ed. but by a reduced majority. The
Democrats are talking seriously of taking
up Howard Packer Of Burlington.
Joel Homer Of Palmyra, director OF the
Board Of FreehoIders. and ex-Audftor
Samuel Al. Atkinson Of Mount Holly Will
probably be nominated for the Assembly.

NEW JERSEY DRAMATIC SOCIETY

The New Jersey Dramatic Society held
a business session last evening and will
soon recommence active work. The ar
rangements for the first reception of the
season We're discussed. The committee re-
ported h a it had engaged Washington
Hotel for about the middle of october.
The organization is now in a very pros
porous condition and is on firm financial
footing, through the great care in its
management, the untiring efforts of the
officers and various committees.
The society was organized as the New
Jersey Dramatic Club in the fall of 1895
and grew very rapidly. The dramatic
section of the club scored many successes,
which carried the name into all the sur
rounding cities: Its social events were
always attractive. The membership at
one time approached 200. In 1897 the club
was r~eorganized and the name changed
to New Jersey Dramatic Society. The
impetus given to the new society by re-
in a few months. The officers are
Alfred e. Gibbons, President; Harry Den
nison, Vice President; George O.. Mining
ham, Treasurer; Anton Christensen, Sec
rotary; VIM. Winterbourn. Recording
Secretary.

1t cannot be denied that the tariff has
something to do with the gold importa-
tions in progress and prospective. Foreign
countries are paying US for our wheat,
which they need just now, in cash in
stead of in goods. which cannot be i'm
ported under the prohibitive rates of the
pingley law. This may please the protec-
ton grabbers. but we cannot help think
ing it augurs badly for the revenue, over
which Mr.. Dingley was so intensely con-
cerned when the extra session of Com
gress was summoned.
The deficiency up to date for this month
is $3,2S7, $50. This is in spite of phenom-
enally high internal revenue receipts and
rather low expenditures,
IN September. 1895. there was a surplus
of 1928. 1856.
In September, 1896, the deficiency for
the entire month was 81. 995, 29o.

Captain Mahan's article on The STRAIT

article In the September issue Of the same

MORE DELAY THREATENED.
Thomas Murphy Rctardsng the Pro

gress of the Eleventh Ward School.
Further complications which Ia re-
tard the erection of the new Eleventh
ward school are likely to arise over the
delay of the city in paying the So, 900 agreed
upon by the Condemnation Commission
ers appointed by Supreme Court Justice
Lippincott to appraise the value of the
eight lots at the corner of Palisade ave-
nue. and Prospect street, the property of
Thomas Murphy.
AS has been told in THE News" the
Commissioners reported the result of
their appraisement to the Supreme Court
Justice on August 3.abPlans were imme-
diately drawn and preparations made to
contract for the excavation, but for some
reason the amount of the award has not
been paid.
In conversation with a "News" re-
porter last night, Real Estate Dealer John
NJ. Kelly, who purchased the property
and acted as agent for Mr.. Murphy, said:
.sYou can rest assured that no building
operations will be commenced on the
Murphy property until the full amount
of the award. with interest from August
8. is paid. We are entitled to the interest
from that date as it was the day on which
the contamination of the purchase was
practically effected, and will positively
not allow the property to be touched until
the amount is paid
If these people insist on his it must
mean further delay in the erection of the
new school, the pressing need of which
has already been referred to in these
columns. The story of how the property
came into the possession of Murphy While
the city was negotiating for it's purchase
has already been told and seemingly re-
fleets little credit on those who again
obstruct this needed public Improvement.
