WHO ARE TRUE sPoRTsMENa

Brother Bonnell of the New Jersey
Herald might have left out of his criti-
cism of our editorial of last week, the
words ''now we are neither sportsman
nor the son of a sportsman" True
sportsmen are above all-gentlemen, and
they are not to be COMPOUNDED with the
beer selling, whiskey drinking rabb,e
that come out every fall from our large
cities, whose delight it is to abuse the
farmer and destroy his property, and it
seems that Brother Bonnell's experience
with sportsmen is limited to this class,
and not to the men who care for sport in
its true sense and who love to be brought
into closer contact with nature undefled.
The farmer can be sportsman, in
fact, some of the best sportsmen that we
ever met in our life were farmers and
farmers sons and we do not wish to de-
ride farmers or to decry their proves as
nimrods any more than Brother Bonnell
should attempt to classify ali sportsmen
under the head of "disreputable." We
have seen a great many shooters come out
from the CITY and there are very few of
them that we have seen return with a
bag of game due their own skill or their
own efforts. Generally it is the local
sportsman who kills the game and the city
chap who takes it home. We agree with
Brother Bonnell that the game laws are
''onlY made more wretched by the inter-
minable tinkering to which they are sub
jected," and it is to arouse feeling that
the game laws should be let alone that
we are writing the present series of arti-
cles,

For Consolidation.

A special meeting was held in the
chancery chambers Saturday afternoon
by the New Jersey Society Sons of the
American Revolution, for the purpose of
considering the plan of union Of the
national societies of the Sons of the
American REVOLUTION and the Sons of the
Revolution, which was adopted by the
national bodies of both orders at Cincin-
natl, October 10. The plan is now being
voted on by all the state societies. by
whose majority vote it is to stand or fall.
The name of the new society is 10 be,
according to the constitution, which it is
planned to adopt, "The Society of the
American Revolution and eligibility
for membership shall be on the same
conditions as now exist, that of being a
lineal descendant of an ancestor who
assisted in the establishment of American
independence during the Revolutionary
war. John Whitehead. president of the
New Jersey Society, explained the object
of the meeting, and favored the cOnsoli-
dalton movement from its inception and
told of the opposition to it. He advo-
Gated the passage of the resolution which
was finally done unanimously. Manag-
ers John Whitehead and p FL. Hoffman
of this city were present at the prelimi-
nary meeting of the managers held on
Friday, when the question of consolida-
ton was favorably considered.

vREeLAND ON STATE ISSUES.

In an interview yesterday with Senator
Vreeland, relative to the political situa-
tion in the state, the Senator said to
CHRONICLE reporter.
II am very much gratified at the salts
factory conference Of Republican Sena-
tors at Trenton on Tuesday last, resulting
il. the choice of Senator Foster NJ
Voorhees, as president of the Senate and
who as such will succeed Governor
Griggs when he resigns to accept the
high Office of Attorney General of the
United States. II is gratifying to know
that all were true to their intention of
voting for Senator Voorhees, notwith-
standing the changed and unexpected
condition of affairs. We all rejoice that
New Jersey is honored by cabinet posi-
ton and that we will be so well repre-
sented therein. Expressions of common
dation come from every quarter, both as
to the Presidents selection for Attorney
General and our selection of Governor
Griggs' successor. 1t seems to me that
the shape political matters have taken in
our state will guarantee the victory we
have been expecting to achieve next fall.
"We certainly have every reason to
rejoice at our prospect of success and
with united party, just as we have
now, it will be question of majorities
only. Nothing has been done about
selecting president pro tempore of the
senate and the matter was not even dis
cussed at our conference but there will
be no difficulty in settling this question
as the Republican Senators are in per-
feet accord and may be relied on to do
the right thing when the proper time
arrives"

IMPURE MILK.

The statement made by State
Dairy Commissioner Mcclure at a
recent meeting of the Mercer County
Agricultural Society held in Trenton,
which we republish, reveals a shocking
state of affairs in regard to some of the
diaries in the State. Coming from the
source it does, it would seem that the
dairy commissioner has been derilect in
his duty. We think it should be the
duty of the various Boards of Health
throughout the State to see to it that
none of the diaries to which Mr.. Nc
Guire refers are located in their respec-
tive districts. The CHRONICLE believes
that, as rule, the milk supplied to Nor
ristown is of superior quality and that
the diaries from which the supply is OBJ
tanned are in good sanitary condition.
This fact can be easily ascertained by our
Board of Health and the sooner the
better. The statement OF the dairy com
missioner is as follows:
"With keen eye to the commercial
success and value of extreme cleanliness
and the wisdom of learning everything
in the way of producing purely sanitary
milk, many individuals, and even large
companies, have been formed not only
in this country but in some of the large
cities of Europe, to place before the con-
sumner milk of guaranteed quality.
Eve read in our daily papers adver-
tisements of sterilized, pasteurized, GER
titled and sanitary milk, and every
thoughtful dairyman should ask, where
in are such better than mine? / know
as the State Dairy Commissioner,
there exists in certain diaries
in the state conditions that menace the
life and health of all who drink the milk
and this without authority given to con-
troll it. If it were necessary, could re-
cite the most revolving details of the con-
ditions under which milk is produced in
some diaries that | have visited, making
it utterly unfit for food, but time will
not permit me. There is no doubt that
the infected milk brought into our large
cities is largely the cause Of mortality
among infants, and consequently these
purified preparations are recommended
by physicians as safeguard"

ExTRAvAeANT ROAD WORK.

A sample of wasteful and extravagant
road work was lately noticed by the gov
eminent road commissioners in Cana
dian town. For seventy-five years
broken stone and gravel had been placed
on one street until there is a depth of
from two to three feet of stone. The
money spent on it was sufficient to pave
all the streets in town with asphalt,
brick or other good material. And the
same observation holds good in Morris
town, where for over quarter of CEN
fury similar plan has been followed
with of course like result in the ma
jority of streets.

EASIER SAILING.

Assemblyman H. w. Gledhill of Pater-
son, who will doubtless be the Republic
can leader of the House dropped in upon
the CHRONICLE yesterday. He was of
the opinion that the ensuing session Of
the Legislature would be brief and that
it would be easier sailing, owing to the
absence of the large majority which was
found so unwieldly and cumbersome dur
ing the past two sessions.

Citizens Before Excise Commissioners

There was large audience before the
Excise Commissioners on Wednesday
evening. the occasion of the monthly
meeting. A petition was read from the
citizens asking the Board to revoke the
license of A. Conway, who is now serving
sentence for keeping a disorderly house.
DIR. Twining appeared for the Citizens
Committee and spoke in favor of revok-
ing the license, and George w. Forsythe
appeared for Conway. On the ground
of the improper form of the complaint
of the citizens, the matter was laid over
and the meeting adjourned for two
weeks.

COUNTY OWNERSHIP Or TROLLEY;

Some years ago the people of Union
county under wise leadership inaugur-
ated a system of macadam roads which
have been rightly held up to the public
by engineers and the press of nearly
every state in the union, as models and
which have lead to the building of hun
dreds of miles of improved roads else
where, including without doubt those
recently constructed in Morris county.
The proposed plan of building trolley
road TO connect the principal cities and
towns of that county with other trolley
systems has at its head the same wise
leaders who pushed the system of inn
proved roads to successful conclusion,
and judging from the reports of the re-
cent meeting trolley will soon be built
by the people of Union county. This is
an important and far reaching step.
Without doubt the trolley will eventual
ly gridiron New Jersey and it behooves
the people to see that in no instance are
valuablerights and franchises givenaway
or granted for mere song. The people
Of each county, especially those in which
the Trolley has not entered, should care
fully follow the experiment in Union
county.
The Elizabeth Journal says: "The
committed have declared the plan to be
feasible and desirable, and in view of the
persistent efforts of traction companies
to secure this splendid franchise they
urge the people to act now. In twenty
or thirty years at most, under such a
plan, the people of Union county will
own magnificent property without
having paid single dollar for it.

IT would appear that the ordinance,
passed by the Orange Council on Mon
day night to a second reading might f.
nally pass. It virtually gives away to
the South Orange & Maplewood Trac-
ton Co., valuable trolley franchise
which will eventually permit the Erie
Railroad Company to enter Morris Coun-
ty. The Orange Council would consult
theinterests of the people by carefully
observing the recent decision of their
Union County neighbors, who hereafter
propose to sell and not give away valu-
able franchises.

erly refers to the Improvement in the
condition of the country at large.

have been complaints from all quarters,
particularly from those who are deprived
of the town and city papers which they
now receive on Saturday morning.
