President William R. Morrison, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, is a
veteran and shrewd observer of political
affairs. While recognizing the fact that
the great difficulty In recognizing this
country's monetary system is to get rid Of
the greenbacks, he sets forth as follows
the hold that they have upon the people:
Most everybody thinks that they are a
mighty good kind of money. There is a
sentimental or patriotic attachment to
them growing out of the war The soldiers
were paid with greenbacks, and when the
country was very hard up, and all the gold
had run away from us, the greenbacks
stayed and helped as put down the rebel
lion Then, you know, we have been
Dragging ever since can remember that
our greenbacks are tho best kind of money
in existence, that they are as good as gold
wherever the sun shines and all that sort
OF thing, and old-fashioned people who
have heard this talk will say: If green
backs are such a good kind of money
why do you want to get rid of them r.
That is 8 hard question to answer It
will take great deal of talking to convince
the plain people that it is wise fnanciering
to replace debt on which we pay no in
terest with one upon which we will have
to pay even so little as two or three per cent.

not require much demonstration. In or

interest when he could borrow all the
money he wants for nothing. That's the

A week ago indications were that the
majority party would organize both houses
OF the Legislature without friction of any
sort, and that the legislative machinery
would move off without jolt or jar.
But things have changed, and there is q
fight on for the Presidency OF the Senate
On last Thursday, Senator Foster M. Voor-
bees, of Union county, had the written
pledges OF majority of the Senators, if not
all of them, to support his candidacy for the
Presidency of the Senate But things have
changed, and all because Governor Griggs
has decided to resign the Governorship and
become member of President Mckinley Is
official family. Before this occurrence, the
Presidency of the Senate meant that and
nothing more, now it means full year as
Governor of the State, the appointment Of
big official list and the salary.
The prospect of giving this honor to
Mr. Voorhees, is more than the leaders can
stand, hence Senator Sksrm. of Mercer
county, has announced his candidacy for
President of the Senate-and Governor.
Now it is said that the pledges to Voor-
hees had string to them IF there was no
other candidate-and as the other candi-
date'' has materialized the pledges are off.
That is the situation now. what it will be
next week, only the big bosses can tell, and
they won't.

The editor of the Constitution ought to
know when he is pounding the Civil Service
Law, that mis- guns are directed at Re-
publican institution. The scheme of build
ing up an official aristocracy was enacted
by Republicans when they were in power
and expected to remain so, hence Collector
Moffett is not in tussel with combina
tion of Democratic politicians" but with a
Republican law that was extended to in
clude employees of the Revenue service by
President Mckinley no longer ago than
last July. Very feu Democrats sympa-
thize with the law, and would not object
to its repeal, but SO long as it stands as the
law of the land insist on it's enforcement in

Constitution advises Mr.. MOfett badly when
it incites him to lawless course of official

THE ANTI-GAM BLING coNSTI
TUTlONAL AMENDMENTS.

Probably no topic is OF wider interest at
this time than the question of the adoption
of the anti-gambling amendment to the
Constitution, at the special election on
September %, last. In our last issue the
fact that an opportunity would be given for
argument on an application for writ of
certioraIi bringing up for review the
action of the State Board of Canvassers
in declaring the anti-gambling amendment
adopted. This hearing took place last
Friday, before Supreme Court Justices
Dixon, Collins and VanSyckel.
Former Attorney General John P. Stick
ton, made the principal argument for the
application. saying in opening
"The altering of constitution, like the
making OF q constitution, being one OF the
few things that the people do without rep
resentation, one of the few acts that, in our
form of government, is done by the people
themselves, is a matter so solemn and OF so
much Importance that would not permit
myself to come and present the question to
this court if careful examination had not
satisfied me that this proposed amendment
had not been adopted in accordance with
the constitution.
SIN my humble Judgment" said Mr..
Stockton, 1.-THE board of canvassers have
made a mistake, and the court ought to
examine into the matter and see IT 1 am
net correct. To let it go after the solemn
warning that has been given by every per-
son who examines it is to do no good to
any body. 1t is thing that everybody
will regret because it is too solemn and
serious to be determined without investl-
cation.
"AlI that we ask is permission to present
the question properly to the court. Now, In
the case of the State VS.. Swift. where an
attempt was made to alter the constitution
of Indiana, the Supreme Court OF that State
in an able and lengthy opinion decided that
the amendment was not adopted because, al
though it had majority of the votes cast
for and against the amendment, it did not
have majority of the legal voters of that
election, and the constitution required
majority of the legal voters to adopt 1T.
THE PEOPLE WANT HONESTY.
:" In the opinion the court said, 1t Is used
as an argument before the court that the
adoption of this amendment is greatly to the
advantage of the people. OF Disadvantages and
disadvantages we have nothing to do. The
people of Indiana want no advantages that
is to be gained by the destruction of the
fundamental law of the State, and no ad-
vantage would be truly gained that would
| be gained at the expense of the integrity Of
the State.
And with these sentiments" said the
speaker, come before this court and urge
that no change be made in the constitution
of our State without it be ratified and APP
proved by majority of the qualified cleo
tors to vote for members of the Legislature.
voting thereon. At the special election on
September 2Sth, there were 14l 672 votes
cast. A majority Of these would be 20 S37
but for the amendments were only 70,443
or 1874 less than majority in the view OF
the constitution. Therefore, the amend
ment was not carried.

attorney general of the United Staes,
which will be vacated by the nominal
ton of Attorney General McKenna to
supreme court. 1t has not yet been set
tied when Governor Griggs shall as
sumo his new office, but it is probable
that the date will be about the begin
ming of the new year.
Governor John William Griggs was
born in Newton, Sussex county N. j.,
July 10, 1S49. He was graduated from
Lafayette college in 1868, and became a
law student in the office of Hon. Robert
Hamilton at Newton. In 1871 he re-
moved to Paterson, where he entered
the office of the late Socrates futile.
He was admitted to the bar that year
and together with Mr.. Tuttle formed
the firm of futile & Griggs. A few
years later he opened an Office on his
own account. He was elected to the
assembly in 1875 and was reelected two
years later. In the latter year the
house was equally divided, and he be-
came leader on the Republican side,
and this brought him forward. He was
renominated for another term, but was
defeated. He was elected counsel for
the board of freeholders of Passaic
county and city counsel of Paterson,
which offices he held until 1882, when
he was elected to the state senate. He
was reelected state senator and be-
came president Of the senate in 1886.
He was delegate-at-large to the Re-
publican national convention in 1888.
In 1895 Governor Werts, of New Jer-
sey, offered Mr.. Griggs a place on the
supreme bench of that state, which
Griggs declined to accept. Next year
he was elected governor of New Jersey.
Trenton, Dec. SIT was settled at an
informal conference of the majority of
Republican state senators at the state
house yesterday that Senator Foster
M. voorhees, should be elected presi-
dent of the senate when the legislature
convenes. This will make Senator
Voorhees, acting governor when Gov
ernor Griggs resigns to take the posi-
ton of attorney general in President
McKinley's cabinet. Senator Skirm.
the only state senator who has been
spoken of as a candidate against Sem
ator Voorhees,, announced that he
would support Voorhees,.

The determination of President McKin-
ley to appoint Governor Griggs to succeed
General McKenna as Attorney General
caused political sensation in New Jersey
last Friday. as the Governors acceptance
has created some complications. 1t is the
first time in the history of our State, thai
caucus of Senators, Tin this case fourteen)
have been called on to elect Governor OF
the State, and that thing majority of the
caucus of Republican Senators will do when
they assemble on January 18th.
That Governor Griggs has accepted the
tender under these circumstances, after
reflection, is as great surprise as was the
report of the tender, because nobody
believed that he nor any other incumbent
of that Office would voluntarily surrender
it in face of his obligations to the people
But this is not the first indication of weak
ness in Governor Griggs.

1t is remembered of Senator voorhees,
that he said Old Man" is an irreverent
way on the floor of the Senate last Winter,
and caused the defeat of John Kean, Jr. for

sins in the estimation of the power that will
make President of the New jersey Senate
