Mr.. Davis New Office.

The appointment of Robert Davis as
civ Collector of Taxes will give satisfac-
ton to Democrats universally and to all
fair-minded Republicans. who realize thai
1t would be unreasonable to look for the
continuance of one of their party in the
place under a Democratic administration
Mr.. Davis has held several important
public offices, and he has always been
efficient. He was a good Sheriff and "a
good Police Justice. That he will be q
good Collector, nobody doubts.
Mr.. Davis has begun well. He has
chosen as his deputy Mr.. higgins, whose
reputation for executive ability is already
high and steadily on the increase. In Mr..
Myles Mccartin, too, he has also selected
a man whose worst enemy must W
that he is capable and trustworthy.
We believe Mr.. Davis, better than any
one in the city. realizes the Importance
and responsibility of his office. He knows
the eyes of the city and the State will
be concentrated on him on account of his
political prominence, and we are sure no
feelings of good-nature or partisanship
will influence him in the selection Of men
to handle the city's cash. He has the
good wishes Of thousands Of friends for
his success. MIR. Simeon H. Smith has
made a splendid record in the place. We
can think of nothing better to bespeak
for Mr.. Davis in the way of good luck
than that he should win as high COM
mendation as his predecessor-and this
we do, most sincerely, wish him.

cents worth of silver can, by process Of

and SO they are refusing to take our de-
based coin at its face value. This, OF

rhe philosophy of the late Mr.. Bryan

those who consider 1t carefuiiy. hA-
emists of the sixteen to one stripe may
wen argue from it to the conditions that
would exist If all the nations of the earth
agreed in putting our silver unit upon
the same plane with the Mexican dol

as soon as they lost confidence in the

the stamp of our mint. And they would
SO lose confidence as soon as they con-
Guided that we had endorsed-as one
might say-more silver than our cream
was able to protect.
When that time came, our silver dollar
would be rated by our own traders at
precisely the same value that is now put
upon it by the Santiago folk, who lack
confidence in our fat value system.

When the ferryboat Bremen of the

was in mid-stream, on her 5 O'Clock trip
to Hoboken, yesterday afternoon. a well
dressed man. seated in the mems cabin.

Foster M. Voorhees, Prospects.

The Philadelphia Enquirer" a RepuD-
| lican organ, had a long article, yester-
| day, dated from Trenton, to show thai
frost is falling on Voorhees, boom. The
| substance was that the amiable Foster
| may not be nominated for Governor, after
| ali. He Is said to be losing popularity
| and South Jersey in particular is said to
| be "sour on him. while Major Car
| Ientz is said 10 be working like a beaver
| to defeat him in Essex.
The grounds of the opposition are
| strange to contemplate. We are told
His determination against South Jersey
in making his military appointments mas
| aroused a bitter feeling in that sectlon
of the state. This was demonstrated at
the First Congressional Convention last
week. when reference to his name not
only failed to evoke any applause What-
ever. but was met with one or TWO MISSES.
On the other hand. Congressman Nanion
II. Pitney, who was present ana maae y
sneech. received a most fatteri1g oVa-
In many quarters the feeling prevails
that both the Governor n Unlted states
Senator should not come from the one
county. and there is no question .pul that
a majority of the Republicans OF the
State are for John Kean of Union JOE
Senator. Then there Is Congressman KIT
nav as A popular candidate for the Guber-
Material nomination, with his strong fol-
lowing in the Fourth Congressional dis
trict. If Essex and South Jersey coun-
ties should mite with Pitneyas forces
they could easily dictate the nomination;
Should such a combination be formed
Foster M. Voorhees, would not be the
G-ubernatorial nominee
It is added that Kean is bitterly OPP
posed to VOORHEES, and is vigorously OPP
posing him. while the party managers
are worried as to where the money would
come from for a VOORHEES, campaign. OF
course the dear old corporations would
not help one who has, all through his
political career, mad capital out Of his
hostility to them.
All this is curious n interesting 1t
is Just what we expected. Mr.. voorhees,
is too good for his party and it's leaders
have no use for him. If he is nominated.
it will be because they do not dare re-
sist the popular sentiment in his favor.
If they can, they will no doubt shelve
him for some gentleman Of the plastic
kind.

"GREENvILLE" TO The FORE
Chaplain McDowell's Horse
Goes to Camp voor-
bees.

That Chaplain Rev. Joseph J.. Mcdowell
of the Fourth New Jersey Volunteers
and who was formerly rector of st. Paul's
Catholic Church, Greenviile, is a popular
man among his parishioners cannot be
doubted for a minute The members of
st. Paul's Church are very enthusiastic
over the appointment of their pastor as
chaplain of the Fourth Regiment and
they nave done many things to prove it.
One was the presentation of a very
spirited Kentucky-bred horse by a
committee to Captain Mcdowell on
Friday afternoon of last week. All
the equipments for an army horse
went with the animal and when bedecked
with them he makes a handsome appear
ance.
The army bride. saddle, blanket and
stirrups are the equipments, and Father
Mcdowell was greatly pleased with the
gift Of his people. He told them SO in a
neat speech ard then regretted that ne
could not give the horse a trial because
he had failed to bring his army boots
with him. Mounted Officer Burke, of the
Greenville police, who was one of the
committee that presented the horse, had
the animal out both yesterday and Sun
day exercising him. All the army equip
ments were put on the horse yesterday
and he was taken to the Greenville
schuetzen Park while an adnliring crowd
looked on. In.the park Mr.. William ARM
bruster got his camera out and proceeded
to take several pictures of the animal.
The beast was so spirited that 1t was
wifh rreaf dificulty that 1t was aflipted

The Business Outlook.

1t is pleasant to see, from the reports
of the trade publications, that business
continues good-phenomenally good for
July. This is not wonderful, however.
The enormo expenditures of the gov
continue. Work is, therefore,
plentiful and money lows freely in many
channels.
The time to look out for is the end of
the war when from $50. 900 to 200. 900 men
will be mustered out of the army and
thrown suddenly back into the labor mar
ket. This will come simultaneously with
a curtailment in government orders and
a consequent shrinkage in production in
various classes Of goods, from shoes to
gunpowder, and from steel plates to lis
terized b~andages.
The disturbance, however, may be dis
counted in several ways. The disband-
ment of the army may be gradual, ex-
tending over several months. The re-
vived trade with the Spanish colonies,
both In the Antilles and the Pacific, will
absorb a part Of the surplus labor and
give a new outlet for capital. The great
government orders for warships will
probably about the same time gfve work
directly and Indirectly to many hundred
men. and finally, the mon which Is now
being earned will be spent next winter
and will keep the wheels Of trade and in
dustry oiled in ways now unthought Of.
That there is = crisis ahead. It Is we'll
