Don't fail to give us a call!

SOME old fogies who properly belong
to the first half of the nineteenth cen
tury raise the point that the McHanna
method of annexation is unconstitu-
tional. That s'higher law" which ex-
cuses every enormity in the name OF
progress is sky-high above the limi-
tations imposed by the back mum bers
who drafted the fundamental statutes
of this now big Nation. The antiquat-
ed followers of Washington and JEFF
ferson linger superfuous on the stage
and their early taking of is a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished. Where
the flag has once been raised" etc,
ETC., is too pretty sentiment to be
subordinated to old-time theories and
practices.

/ Oelng q pauper, would make that city
nOminally the richest city in the
world, while in fact it would be the
| poorest. The condition of such a city
would be misery, bordering on death,
and poor. indeed, in comparison with
the ordinary American city or town
that does not yet boast of a single mil
liOnaire. but which is filed with happy
homes sanctfiej with love, hope and
ambition that is daily fructifying into
a broader life. Here the fire of pat

SPEAKING of the Philippines, a New
York Sun correspondent now at Ma
Mia, says:
Americans who expect to find good
chances here by individual efforts, are
likely to be disappointed. Hands
have 60 place in competing with the
Filipinos or Chinese. Heads with
capital can reap rich reward"
In other words, while the American
artisan can stand no chance in compe-
tition with the '.pauper labor" OF those
islands, capital there finds the condi-
tions favorable to its purposes. If the
rank and file of Protectors followers
ever permitted themselves to think in
opposition to the dicta of their bosses,
they might here deduct something of
interest. If pauper labor is a factor
favorable TO capital, hasn't capital all
these years been lying to the devotees
of Protection in asserting that it was
in favor of the Protective system be-
cause it barred foreign pauper labor
from competing with the home article?
Capital seeks it's own interest solely,
and laughs at the sentimentalism

may be invited to become a member of
the Presidents official family. There is
no doubt that Mr.. Murphy deserves high
honor from the party he has so long and
ably served, though not alone for his un-
selfish labors for the principles of patrio-
tism, protection and honest money. His
vast business and political experience
have fitted him to grace almost any posi-
ton of trust that may be offered to him.
And his appointment would not exhaust
the list of capable Jerseymen who could
be useful to the Nation. Paterson Press.
Senator Smiths amiability must be sad
ly disturbed at the sight of his one-time
friends forsaking him en- masse Now that
the Newark man is down, everybody has
tens to give him a kick. The New York
Times, in an editorial on New Jersey and
Smith, marks the decline of the Demo
cratic party in this state under his undis-
puted leadership since 1892. 1t finds
nothing good to say of his record in
Washington, and condemns his political
management during successive campaigns
for six years as ''series of laundering
failures and deserved defeats The Times
calls for the permanent retirement of Sen
ator Smith, as the one means of saving
the party in the state. The question is,
have the New Jersey Democrats yet
learned the lesson This would seem to
be good time for the regeneration of
that particular coterie of New Jersey
Gold Democrats of which James Nelson,
of this city, was one, to carry out the pur-
poses of reorganization and rehabilitation
which they once announced. Senator
Smith must be well sickened of failure

WHENEVER a contest occurs in court
trusted with the affairs of an estate, the
expense is saddled upon the heirs In
many instances these contests are the out
growth of jealousy or spite or desire on
the part of some lawyer to make business
In allowing counsel fees the discretion
of the court is the only thing that stands
between the estate and exorbitant charges
Within the past two weeks there have
been three cases settled. In one the
claims of the contestants were not sub
stantiated and the court very properly re-
fused to allow counsel fees. In both of
the other cases the fees were made to con
form with the increase shown by the evil
dence to be due to the estates. In one of
the contests referred to the account of the
executor was increased 1855. 49, The
Judge allowed $3.50 side to the lawyers
with witness fees, making the tota |
amount about $685.. This made a net cost
to the estate of a trifie over $50, and as
there are 10 heirs they will not object
to this expenditure as it must be a great
satisfaction to them to discover, after a
very close examination, such small error
had been discovered in the management
CT az estate worth in the neighborhood of
$150,000, while the executor must also
feel pleased at the result which caused the
Judge to compliment him on the way in
which he had handled his trust The
discretion of the court" in keeping the
costs down to the amount of increase in
the estate is also commendable. If this
course is continued in the future there
will be less useless litigation in this re
spect If those who think they have
grievances understand that they cannot
saddle costs upon estates merely for the
purpose of showing somebody up" there
will be less haste to rush into court with
supposed grievances

AT THE next meeting of the Board Of
Freeholders there will undoubtedly BIZ
much interest in the report of the frs
committee under the resolution of Mr.
Conrow, requiring plugging" of stone
roads before final acceptance. One par
ticular piece of road is that which was
heard of so frequently during the last
campaign, when Assemblyman Hornel
was accused of almost everything in con
nection with its construction. By a re-
port in the Riverside Press it appears that
this road was up to contract" and was
accepted. Consequently the stories cir
culated about Assemblyman Horner must
have been false. The statement of free
holder at the last meeting that ''only IS
per cent. of material called for had been
used" was mistake or else there must
have been something out of gear else
where. 1t is to be hoped that the report
will be very full and give all the details of
the trip of the committee That this last
hope will be fulfilled there is little doubt,
however, as Mr. Conrow was a member OF
it and will undoubtedly see that all the
facts are. spread before the Board
