If the terms of Office holders in jersey
City and Newark can be legally extended
for eight months 8 in order to save expense
of an election" why not extend the terms
for eight years, or make the officials ap-
ppintive for life? According to Republican
losses, this idea of local governments is all
myth, the vaporing of diseased minds.

the construction of two unique vessels
which he expects to have built this
summer. They will be high powered

rams, so as to force a passage through
heavy ice by forcing the frozen masses
upward instead of crushing them down

pertinent proves a success there will be

"a Has the Constitution discovered vet That the
City Collector is part of the city government
DEMOCRAT.
"No. The Constitution has not dis
covered" the fact, it has always known that
the City Collector is a city official, though
not the city 3 governing authority RESPONSE
BILE for the management of public affiirs,n
Constitution Mar. IL
We take it that the above statement is
the calm, deliberate Judgment of Editor
Barber of the relation that the City Collec-
ter and Treasurer bears to the people. 1t
must be as surprising to the vast majority
of the Constitutions readers, as it is to
ourselves, that its editor, " no is also the
Collector and Treasurer of the County,
strips himself of all responsibility for the
management of the county's finances. Is
it possible that he has SO early in his Off
cial career reached the point where he
looks ON the financial position he holds as
a private affair, and that its management
or mismanagement bear no relation TO
public affairs If Bro. Barber penned the
above sentence after mature deliberation,
then there should be no delay in putting
an expert on the county's books and reliey-
ing him Of the important and responsible
trust he holds.
In National affairs the Treasurer is the
first adviser of the head of the nation in
State affairs he stands next to the Governor
in Importance; in municipal aft irs, if the
people haYe chosen wisely, the Treasurer ia
more frequently consulted than any munic-
ipal officer. He is the balance wheel and
the governor of the municipal engine He
is, in large degree, responsible to the public
for the legality OF public expenditures; he
is the custodian of the public purse
strings.
Not responsible for the management Of
public affairs" implies that the public
treasury either is a private affair, the Gus
todian of which is responsible to nobody or
that the Treasurer is simply an automatic
machine constructed to receive and dis
charge given quantity of valuable sub
stance.
1t is this view of public trusts that has
led many good man astray, and which i
uursed and allowed place in the conscience
leads to sure ruin and disgrace.
And if Bro. Barber will investigate the
question he has himself raised, he will end
that mis-goyernment is more often traceable
~ enan.;a1 ofssce than to any other
branch of peoples government.

The following must form part oi
al BIOGRAPHIES of Henry George, and
should be introduced into all school
readers as an incentive to the young
to initiate the virtue of one of the
wisest and noblest of men.
When Mr.. George was GONZALES
cling from the attack which seized
him shortly after the death OF his
beloved daughter, the ''boom," Z"
which had partly died away when
his sickness became known, revived.
Family and friends sought a.
much and as tenderly as they could
to dissuade him from accepting any
nomination.
Walking with me one day
along the Shore road fronting his
house, his hand upon my arm, ht
said:
Tell me, if | accept, what is thu
worst that is likely to happen t'
me?"
replied: "Since you ask me
you have a right to be told-mos
probably it will be fatal
"He then said: You mean tha
it may kill me-.
II answered: Most probably
yes.
He said: "Dr. Kelly says tn
same thing only more positively
He says it will certainly kill me
but have got to die and how can
: die better than serving humanity
Besides, SO dying, would do NOR
for the cause than anything tina
otherwise | might be able to do tn
| rest of my life. :"
Later, in the same conversation
he said he would wait and see wha
. Tammany would do, if it did wha
: was right, he would not accept.
, Feeling that such sentiments
those OF Henry George should nc
l he lost, but be preserved for tn
elevation OF the human soul, wrot
them down and entrusted them
: Mr.. Tom L. Johnson, for preserv;
ton and future publication, shortl
after their utterance.
: When Mr.. George accepted tn
nomination rendered him at tn
/. great meeting in the hall of th
Cooper Union, he said:
"From now on until election, | al
yours even though it kills me-"
f. And in nearly all his speeches, b
showed he knew his death was ;
hand, and was fearlessly facing
for the good Of mankind.
Greater love hath no man tha
: this, that he give up his life for h
friends. -
The friends OF George were mar
kind, and to serve mankind he hf
: given up his life. Respectfully,

Gov. Mount q Candidate for U. 5.

1t is settled and sure thing that
the farmer governor is grooming
himself to 60 up higher. His des-
perate efforts to court public favor
would indicate that.
Whenever the farmers are in evl-
lence the governor is farmer,
whenever there is gathering OF
veterans the governor is present and
the most enthusiastic veteran of all /,
and this week when the Presby-
terians were in evidence here he
was Presbyterian from the word
go.
The governor wants to be United
States Senator to succeed Senator
rurpie. He has fallen victim to
the wiles of the press bureau agent
and like other great men with simi
lar failings, has his menials clip and
paste in his scrap book all remarks,
good and bad, that the newspapers
have to say about him. The COVER
nor is too shrewd a politician to
come out squarely for the office al
this stage, however, when there are
so many contingencies to success.
General Lew Wallace, the author
of "Ben Hur," who might be styled
a bold buccaneer in politics, has nc
such scruples and he is an open
avowed and fighting candidate
His canvass is in the hands OF fou
good men, Frank Dice, John Win
Igate, John Bonnell and o. B. An
Iderson of Charlottesville. They arr
all shrewd and careful politician
and if the general does not pull
Through under their management h'
never will.
h. S. Taylor of Fort Wayne ant
u. Frank Hanley are still classed a
candidates, but neither seems to b
making a fight. LOUIS LUDLOW.
