ADJuTANT-GENERAL STRIKER.

The State of New Jersey is to be con-
graduated upon having SO able and
efficient an official as Adjutant- General
Stryker to superintend the almost endless
detail connected with the mastering in
and caring for the troops at the State
camp, Sea Girt. General Stryker has
been at the camp since May and has
given his personal attention to even the
smallest detail connected with the work,
which has been carried through thus far
without the least friction and with the
result that the New Jersey soldiers were
in every case sent out fully uniformed
and equipped, something no other State
has been able to do.

The Union County Freeholders, by a
vote of II to 6, accepted the offer of
$780, 900 made by John Kean for the
franchise to construct trolley road from
Elizabeth to Plainfield
In commenting on the matter. the
Paterson Press says: "From time i'm
memorial the communities of New Jer-
sey, with exceptions SO rare that only
one or two can be recalled, have been
giving away franchises to any individual
or corporation enterprising enough to
ask for them. It is no exaggeration to
say that if small and proper percent
age tax had been tackled to every fran
chise granted in New Jersey during the
past half century the franchises would
to-day be supporting every county and
city government in the State without the
levy from the people at large of cent
for any purpose"
