vREELAND HEARD FROM.


Will the bill in relation to trolley 8,
just introduced by Senator Vreeland,
place the franchise gift in the hands of
Boards of Freeholders and take it from
the control of property owners In 9TH
or words may trolley come up South
or any other street, despite the protests
of all the property owners, if the Board
of Freeholders says it may? We would
like to hear from Senator Vreeland in re-
gard to this matter. Banner, March Sd.
The above from the untrue Democra-
tic Banner is lie made out of whole
cloth and its editor knew it or ought
to have known it when the article
was written. The facts are Senator
Vreeland has not introduced in the Leg
islature or had any personal knowledge
of any proposed trolley legislation, ex-
cept what has acquired from an in
spection Of bills introduced by other Leg
islators, The charges in the World and
Herald of recent dates. relative to Mr..
Vreeland's influence being used for the
furtherance of trolley legislation are just
as false as the statements made by the
Banner, and are fair specimens of the
political articles that appear in many
of the Democratic papers in this State
as we'll.

GOVERNOR VOORHEES, NO sHlRK

The Banner still measures Acting Gov
ernor Voorhees, by a Democratic stand
ard. Regarding his refusal to draw two
salaries it says:
This is step in the right direction, but
Mr.. Voorhees, cannot by this one act pac-
ify the people for the broken promises
made by the Republican leaders three
years ago. The Governor will of course
repudiate the partisan acts of Governor
Griggs, and claim that he is not respon-
sible for the same. but fortunately for the
people Mr.. Voorhees, cannot shirk all re-
sponsibility. There are some positions
that he must fill, and for his acts in these
matters he must give an account if he
receives the nomination for Governor.
Governor Voorhees,, not being Demo-
Graf, performs virtuous act for its own
sake and not for the sake of the effect it
may have on the people. Besides, where
are the promises which the Banner says
have been broken? Mr.. Voorhees, is not
shirker of either work or responsibility
but the Banner, like the party it repre-
sents, will never forgive him for his sue
cessful resistance to the attempted
Senate steal.

WORK FoR HEALTH BOARDS.

Senator Reeds bill provides that the
State Board of Health can stop the ship
ping of milk suspected to be contami-
mated with any communicable disease.
It is good bill and should become law
without delay. The recent epidemic Of
typhoid in Paterson and vicinity was
directly traceable to a contaminated
dairy in Sussex County. Very recently
an outbreak of that dread disease, scarlet
fever in Orange, upon investigation was
found to have been caused by fever in
the family of the dairyman. The main
difficulty is to get local Boards of
Health, as provided by Mr.. Reeds bill,
to perform it's duty.
Judging other Boards from the stand
point of the Board of Health of Norris
town, we should say there is great room
for improvement. All Boards of Health
should have stated meetings, at
which complaints could be made, and a
record kept of its proceedings. We be-
lieve the Board Of Health of Dover, by
careful attention to the health regula-
tions of that city, recently succeeded in
preventing what might have been an
epidemic of scarlet fever. Fortunately
the health of Moristown has been ex-
cellent, but the fact remains that a
Board of Health should mean something
more than name.

CHANGES IN MAIL DELIVERIES.

Morristown citizens appreciate much
the return to the former plan of after
noon postal deliveries, bringing the long
delivery at o'clock as formerly, instead
of at 2 which has been the plan for the
winter months. Many of our people
never have come in full sympathy with
the idea. and rejoice over the change.
But the difficulty noted in the CHRoN-
IcLE of last week concerning particularly
the delay in morning deliveries, caused
it is said by the recent heavy increase in
mails, has not yet been remedied. Even
as this article is written $3.50 a. M the
Carrier for this district is passing the
CHRONICLE Office in return from the Z
o'clock delivery; after his arrival at the
postoffice he has yet to sort and arrange
for delivery the mails which arrived at
1853, s, 8.15 and 1888, in fact all the
principal morning mails to Morristown.
He will perhaps start on his route by 10
o'clock, about two hours after the arrival
of these important mails. Again we
claim that this is not good business, let
the difficulty be what it may, and repeat
our cry for reasonably quick deliveries.

WORTHY OF HEARTY SUPPORT

The Republicans of Morris township
have placed in nomination, ticket in
every way superior to that named by the
Democrats. The latter are making their
snsual campaign cry that the affairs of
the township are unwisely managed.
This is false. 1t is true that there has
been a vast difference in the manage
ment Of township affairs since the Re-
publicans came into power, and it all ac-
crues to the advantage of the township.
The personnel of the candidates named
at the Republican primary are guar
antee that good sensible practical man
agement will be continued.

SALARIES OF POLICE OFFICERS.

The item in the CHRONICLE of last
week, noting the difference in the sal
aries of police officers in Morristown and
Washington, while not given as a COM
parison to the detriment of our local
police but rather the other way, has
called forth some comparison of the COM
pensation granted in other towns and
cities nearby. In response to inquiries
we have learned the exact amounts paid
to police officers in several cities that
compare favorably with Morristown,
cities that have somewhere near our
population, but, to our shame, far out
class Morristown in general progress
siveness. In Orange population % ,000(,
the chief receives 800 per month, ser
geant SIS, roundsmen $75, patrolmen
$40; Montclair q1,759, chief 1898,
sergeant $75, patrolman $50; Passaic
100000, chief 800, sergeant 1898,
patroImen $70.33; Plainfield (20,0O0),
chief 800, sergeant 500 II, roundsmen
S62.50, patrolmen $50; Perth Amboy,
chief $75, sergeant s65, patrolmen $780,
In most of these places the police are also
allowed two uniforms year. In Nor

patrolmen $55, and are furnished only
with badge.

DlNeLEY BILL A MoNEy-MAKER.


THE administration is greatly pleased
at the showing for the Dingley law as
developed by treasury statistics during
the first seven complete months of its
operation, from the LIST of August, 1897,
to the 1st of March, 1898. The exhibit
makes the total custom receipts during
this period $17,OoO,OOO in excess of the
receipts during the first seven months Of
the Wilson law. The average receipts
during the month of February were
$537, 16l per diem, against 1926, 400 per
diem, during the first month of the Will
son act. an increase of about 140 per
cent. The DingIey bill, like good wine,
grows better with age.

A BILL has been introduced in the
Senate which authorizes the State Libra
ry Commission to devise methods for
creating small travelling libraries, such as
are in use in New York, Iowa, Michigan,
Wisconsin and other states. Under this
system voluntary organizations are
formed in small towns and villages
which cannot afford public libraries, and
these organizations are allowed to bor-
row state books on giving sufficient
security for the safe return within a
stipulated time. This plan. gives each
small settlement the advantages of a
large library. 1t is to be hoped that the
bill will pass.

MADISON BOROUGH ELECTION.

Madison was incorporated as borough

tisan government. Under it the borough
has hourished. 1t owns excellent plants
for the lighting and water supply of the
town. 1t has laid miles of macadam
streets and growing residential popula-
ton has been attracted there. Every
body has been satisfied with the non-par-
tisan government which has produced
such excellent results except the dis
credited and disgruntled silverites who
style themselves the Democratic party Of
Madison. These dyspeptic malcontents,
some of whom have been sailing under
false colors. called primary on Tues
day evening, February sd, and nomi-
mated straight Democratic ticket.
The same crowd packed the regular
borough primary on the following
evening and succeeded in re-nominat-
ing some Of their candidates then, in
Guiding their nominee for Freebooter.
This course of conduct was displeas-
inR to the Republicans and Sound Money
Democrats, who felt that serious blow
had been struck at the cause Of coed
government in the borough and county.
Accordingly they called Republican
primary for Monday evening last and
nominated straight Republican ticket.
They did this with much regret, but had
they done less they would have failed in
their duty to the whole commun-
ity. They did not choose the path on
which they have entered; they were
driven into it; being in it they will

which awaits them on Tuesday.

Madrid government pretends to fervent-
~ believe that if left alone for sixty days
longer it will have subjugated the people
of the Island Of Cuba, and restored that
part of the world to state of tranquil
lily. Sixty days extension, as before
stated, would bring us right up to the
beginning of the rainy season, and that
would mean another extension of ninety
days, unless, as intimated, Spain may
conclude to raze few Atlantic seaboard
cities, and attempt to blow American
commerce off the seas instead of CON
tinuing in the attitude Of a supplicant

ed under the direction of the War De-
partment. An expedition was organized
and placed under the control and man
agemeDt Of the army. Since that was
done the department has received IN
formation from sources known to be re-
liable that there is no suffering in the
