A CAPTAINS TRlsuTE.

James R. Sutton, whose son of the
same name is member of Company
M, I'd n. J. Vols, has received letter
telling of the latter's whereabouts and
incidently paying tribute to the excellent
character of the young soldier. Captain
Edward L. Petty is the writer, and he
states that Private Sutton is improving
in the Second Division Hospital at Jack
sonville and will soon come North to his
home. The officer expressed sorrow at
being obliged to leave young Sutton be-
hind, but he was too i'll to be moved. In
conclusion Captain Petty says: 81 will
be glad to have your son back again
with US, as he is good soldier and
man who always does his duty. I was
indeed glad to have him in my company"

fore he was known all over the country.
His ability gave him national reputa-
ton, and he was reelected without
trouble. He would have been renomi-
mated and reelected for a third term if
he had consented, but his services in
Washington took so much of his time
that it interfered with his business to an
extent which he felt was unjustifed.
He did not want to accept Office at this
time, but yielded to the demands of his
party and accepted this nomination to
represent Morris county in the Senate.
The fact that he has done SO will add a
thousand votes to the total of Mr.. Kelley,
who is the nominee for Congress, and
will help to overcome the adverse vote
for Governor in the Democratic counties.

THE FIRST FROST.

The first frost of the season in this
immediate vicinity was the refusal of
Mayor Quayle to pull Senator Jim
Smiths chestnuts out of the burr. Such
a killing frost was this that the Senators
son and his friends who came to look
over the Democratic field in Morris last
Saturday decided that it would be a
waste of fertilizer for the Senator to send
barrel here. A pint mug or SO may be
sent to give heart to some of the candi-
dates to stay in the fight, or rather to
keep up show of fighting We are
afraid that if the Senator don't do little
more the Democratic Committee on
Vacancies may have more work on its
hands than it can accomplish between
now and election day.

THEIR PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

Having looked carefully over the sit
uation in Morris county, the Jim Smith
campaign managers have decided in their
own minds that the Republican ticket
will surely be elected. They have also
decided that Mahlon Pitney is dangerous
and to the Democratic party in this State,
as they cannot prevent his election they
are going to attempt to besmirch his char
acter as a statesman. Accordingly a,
literary bureau in Jersey City is to fur
nish series of articles having that end
in view to New York yellow journal.
The first of the series appeared on Wed
nesday morning. Half of it was printed
as editorial matter; the other half, or
rather the same half rehashed, was dated
Morristown. But, like those which are
to follow, it all comes from the aforesaid
bureau in Jersey City. If the succeed
ing articles be at all like the first they
will be sure vote winners for Mahlon
Pitney.

VOORHEES, ON LABOR.

Democratic workers are industriously
circulating leaflets throughoutthe county
in which the claim is made that Acting
Governor Voorhees, was not favorable to
organized labor. Perhaps the best an
swer to that is in the words of Mr.. Voor-
bees himself, who said in a speech re-
Gently delivered at Pennington, refer
ring to the labor question.
II never would vote for bill that
was labelled labor bill, when knew
that it's effect was against the true inter
ests of labor. They forget to tell the
people that in 1883 voted to prevent the
offsetting of wages by punch orders and
store accounts. They forget to tell the
people that | voted for more than one
bill providing for the payment of wages
In lawful money of the United States,
and at period not greater than every
two weeks, that the wage Garner might
have full control and command of his
own earnings. They forget to tell the
people that I voted for the humane
measure limiting the age and labor hours
of women and children and minors en-
ployed in factories and workshops. They
forget to tell the people that I voted for
a measure to enable workmen to join
labor unions without any interference
on the part of their employers. I ask
your indulgence for these personal re-
marks, but, as you know, this charge of
antagonism to the cause of organized
labor is the only one that the Democrats
have been able to bring against me-

MAHloN PrrNEY

JUST at this crisis there is imminence
of great war between Great Britain and
France over the rival claims of these ma
tions to the ownership of territory in the
Nile country. And as, in the language
of Tatnall, 'sblood is thicker than water, :"
and because, too, friend in the late war
was "a friend indeed" it may not be
premature TO state at large that in affairs
of the foregoing nature the warm sympa-
thies of the American people will be seen
to be solidly aligned on the side of British
success in arms.

A HERO.
Rocky Hill.

The Hackettstown Gazette says that
undertakers are on their way from San
tiago with the body of Louis B. Skinner,
a member of the Seventy first New York
Volunteers, and who was killed at Ell
Caney, the My Morris county soldier to
die in battle in the recent war. The re-
mains will be inferred at Hackettstown.
1t will be remembered that the brave
young soldier wrote from the front few
days prior to the battle, eff don come
back you will know I was not afraid to
die for my country" There is local
interest in honoring the remains of our
hero of Ell Caney, and Prof. Skinner has
given consent that the body be inferred
at Hackettstown. Mr.. Lyon, the under
taker, has notified local friends that the
expense of landing the body in Hacketts-
town will be $500, and even at the risk
of offending commendable sentiment,
we feel that the price is tax on
patriotism.

FOR seTTeR''-oR WORSE. >

Vice Chancellor Gray recently rem
dered decision in the case of a lazy,
good-for-nothing fellow named Mar
quorum, who, failing to support his
wife-a hard working woman-she
wished to obtain a separation, which
was not granted for the following
reasons:
"The court has no jurisdiction, " says
the Vice Chancellor, s'under its general
equity powers to make a decree for the
support of wife because of husbands
failure to support her. To give this
court jurisdiction to decree support there
must be an abandonment by the husband
or separation from her by his voluntary
act, or circumstances equivalent thereto,
and also neglect or refusal to support
her. Both these conditions must exist to
give this court jurisdiction"
The opinion says that 50 husband who
is loafer and good for nothing may,
if he choose, make himself burden
upon his wife and refuse to leave her,
and refuse, also, to support her, and I'M
der the statute there is no relief for the
wife"
Speaking of the case in hand Vice
Chancellor Gray says: There is a
great deal of testimony that the husband
was financially incapable of supporting
his wife. He was accepted by this
woman for better, for worse It hap
pens to have been for worse. There is
no reason why she should have COM
pulsory order upon him to force him to
support her. Nor does his poverty de-
prive him of any of the rights of hus-
band. and one of those is. if the wife
lives in house, to share it with her.
The testimony as to the abandonment,
even of the wife herself. seems to be
very clear that there was no abandon
ment by the husband at all. 1t is quite
clear that this man wanted to live with
the woman. and that she did not want
him, because he did not support her. She
has no regard for him, and if he could
not do as she thought he ought to do,
namely, earn enough money to support
her and take care of her, she did not
want him. She fatty swears that she
told him to get out He swears that
she reinforced this order with broom
stick. The marital relation seems to
each party a right to the society, aid,
comfort and services of the other. We
all know of thousands of instances
where the wife has undertaken and car
ried the husband through many difficult
ties, and in this she is simply fulfilling
her wifely duty"

DEMOCRATIC LIE NAILED.

The following letter from Congressman
Pitney is complete REPUTATION of the
contemplate SANDER which has been
published in Democratic newspapers and
circulated in public and private gather
ings of Democrats. to the effectIthat Mr..
Pitney had made deal with Governor
voorhees, with regard to appointment or
reappointment of his father to one of the
judgeships in chancery:
MoRR1sTowN, N. J., Oct. II, 1898.
EDITOR CHRONICLE:
Dear Sir-I write to request that you
will contradict upon my authority the
report which has been printed in some
newspapers to the effect that there is a
bargain or agreement between Governor
Voorhees, and myself, that in case of his
election my father shall be appointed as
Chancellor in the place of Alexander T.
McGill, or that he shall be reappointed
as Vice Chancellor on the expiration Of
his own term. The rumor has put the
alleged bargains in different forms, and
I wish to cover them all by my denial.
In the first place, Vice Chancellor
Pitney's term of Office will not expire
until April 1st, 19O3-more than a year
after the expiration of Governor Voor-
hees' term. Moreover. the Vice Chan
cellors are appointed by the Chancellor,
and not by the Governor.
In the second place, I denounce as
absolutely false the report that any such
comp act. bargain or promise has been
made, offered or asked for by Governor
Voorhees, or myself, or by any other per-
son acting for either of US. The report
in question is ''fake," pure and simple
"a mere creature of the imagination.
Nothing has been done, said, written or
limited either by Governor VOORHEES, or
myself, or by any one else to my knowl-
edge, that could furnish the slightest
foundation for the report in question.
No bargain or compact of any kind has
been made directly or indirectly between
Governor VOORHEES, and myself least of
all, a bargain involving a seat upon the
judicial bench.
Yours very truly,
MAHLoN PITNEY.

a POSER.

EDITOR CHoNIcLE-Judge Cutler said
at the Democratic rally held in the Ly-
ceum, however Democrats have differed
in the past, they could now stand united
on the State platform. But he did not
refer to the Newton platform on which
the Congressman stands, for that de-
clares that it favors the free coinage Of
gold and silver and opposes a single gold
standard.
How can any sound money man sup
port such strong silver man as Mr.
Salmon on such platform?

part of the political puzzle.

he has consented to allow the Repuhli-

WHAT THEY SAY.

The following interviews show thai
lawyers of all shades of political opinion
consider it necessary that the County
Clerk should be man who understands
the duties Of the Office and can perform
them. They also think that Daniel s.
Voorhees, has given ample proof of his
fitness for the place:
Alfred Elmer MiIls-I consider the
nomination of Mr.. Voorhees, a fitting
recognition of his long and faithful SER
vice as Deputy Clerk. The efficient
assistance which he has rendered to our
County Clerks and his own persistent
efforts in advocating all kinds of improve
ments in the arrangement and indexing
of books and papers has put our Clerk 8
Office far ahead of any other that 1 know
of in this State, and have had occasion
to work in most of them. His complete
knowledge of every detail connected with
the Office make his service invaluable to
the people of the county.
Charles A. Rathbun-I have known
him at least twelve years and have al
ways found him very obliging and he
seems to thoroughly understand the
needs of the Office and place accurately
/ believe his long experience as deputy
will make him most efficient County
Clerk.

NERVOUS ABOUT PlrnEy's DIGNITY

Some of the Democratic papers are
greatly concerned about Mahlon Pitney's
dignity. They think that the only way
it can be maintained is for his friends to
vote against his election to the State
Senate so as to give Tom Hoagland the
ghost of chance. They really believe
it. for in order to make their own candi-
dates digniied they have voted against
their reelection to the County Commit
tee. These gentlemen have been heard
to say, 1T was all very well to dissembIe
your love, but why did you kick me
down stairs?"
Seriously speaking. these captious
critics measure every position by the
salary it brings and the opportunities
which they would turn to personal ac-
count. The question is not where
Mr.. Pitney would get large salary or
occupy a distinguished position, but
where he can do the State most service.
Wherever that is, is the place of dignity
and honor. The Republican party thinks
that at present that place is in the State
Senate.

AGAIN NAILED.


1t would seem utterly useless to at
tempt a denial of the numerous cam
paign lies started by the Democratic
press concerning The course of Con
gresham Pitney in Washington. The
following from the World of recent
date, like numerous others, carries with
it the stamp of falsehood;
"His vote while in Congress for the
Standard Oil people, and TIE Dingley
tax on beer, has been brought against
him."
The World probably used a remark
made by Congressman Pitney while he
was engaged in debate with Congress-
man Jerry Simpson, the Kansas infia.
ZIONIST, and which is reported in the
Congressional Record in part as follows:
Nov. the gentleman from Kansas /
will not say 'howls, but gently whis-
pers' about trusts. Laughter. He
does not, however, define what he
means by the term. He seems to apply
it to every successful business enter
prise. will say to the gentleman that
do not intend to follow him in his
rambling talk. The general question of
trusts is a broad one, into which l do
not propose at this time to enter. am
not called upon to defend any corpora
ton which violates the laws or the
rights of the people. But l will simply
say word with reference to the cor
poration laws of my State. Those cor
poration laws are free to all. The
humblest citizens can organize legiti-
mate business enterprise and have it
carried on under the law as corpora
ton without fear of groundless or un-
reasonable attack from such as the gem
tleman from Kansas"
The Kansas Congressman finally
asked Mr.. Pitney:
docs the gentleman think that the
sugar trust, or any other trust organized
together to protect the product of their
manufacture, combine for the purpose
of lowering the price to the general pub
lie? Does he think that is their benevo-
lent purpose. p
To which the Representative from the
Fourth New Jersey District responded:
II believe that no organization is
made for purpose of business, either in
the form of a partnership or of corpo
ration, unless the people who associate
themselves together expect to make
more money than they could separately,
and | believe that they cannot make it
unless they offer some inducement to the
people to whom they sell their commod-
tiles. They have to sell their commod
tiles for prices which people are willing
to pay, l do not know how it may be
with sugar, but I do know how it has
been with OIL The product of the
much hated Standard Oil trust has been
very much reduced in cost to the con-
sumner and the quality has been very
much improved since the trust was
organized"
When Intercepted on the matter re-
garding the War Revenue tax and the
Dingley law, Mr. Pitney said
"As to my votes on the War Revenue
tax and the Dingley law las affecting
the beer tax do not think it is worth
while to pay any attention to that mat
ter at present My course in the matter
was entirely fair and straightforward,
and l believe all parties concerned were
satisfied with it.
