THE ELECTION.

THF election held on Tuesday showed
tE1zs<s the Republicans in the State held
their own and that too in the face of con-
siderable dissatisfaction upon the part Of
the machine men who with their candi-
dates were very properly sat down
upon in some localities, and sat
down upon hard. The result in
this county is about an even thing,
the Board of Freeholders remaining
tie. James G. Carter man of unblem-
ished reputation and ability will repre-
sent the people of Boontou, instead of
Mr.. Porter Democrat. In Passaic the
Republicans lose their representative in
the board which is the more to be regrett-
ed because their candidate for Freebooter,
John Oliver was in every way well
qualified to fill the Office. Had he been
nominated earlier, and the weak points
of his opponent Mr.. Cook been spread
before the voters of Passaic, we are con-
fident the Republican nominee would
have received decisive majority. Mr..
Cooks record consists of an exceedingly
active and profitable membership in the
Board of Aldermen in Hudson county
previous to his recent removal to Morris.
Commenting on the returns, the Eliza
beth Journal aptly remarks concerning
Union county land it applies to every
county in the State as welD: zone good
effect Of the independent voter-who is
usually Republicans to compel this
party to put up good men. The indie
pendent voter of either party will not ac-
cept just anybody and give their support
to any ticket that has the party name on
it. The local elections are therefore the
best time for the Independent voters to
exercise their prerogatives, for they then
can do least harm to the party and they
teach lesson that's sometimes appro-
pirate and needfuI.

A CAREFUL consideration of the result
of the election held in Morris county,
upon the part of our esteemed contem-
pory of the Banner, who during the past
weeks has industriously circulated the re-
port that the Democrats would sweep
everything owing to alleged differences
among the Republicans must necessarily
we think, give him severe pain in the
stomach.

SENATOR BARBER of Warren is way off
on the silver question and mighty obsti-
nate about other legislative matters, but
he was correct when he said: Years
ago we used to have lots of fish and no
fish commissioners; now we have fish
commissioners and no fish. 1t seems to
me the commissioners lay awake nights
thinking how they can import foreign
fish to eat up our native fish and how
they can protect cells. Up at Phillips
burg the river is full of cells, and they
eat the shad spawn, and also eat the
ross in the fish when they are in the
seines, but the people are not allowed
TO catch them"

The CHRONICLE desires to extend con-
gratulations to Senator Vreeland upon

believed to be model appointment,
creditable alike to acting Governor
Voorhees, and Senator VreeIand.

washington. order on st. Patrick. Day

AS our next day of celebration is ST.
Patrick's day March ~ it is interesting
to note the statement that General
Washington. when encamped at Morris
town in the winter of 1880. gave the FIRST
official recognition in this country to St.
Patrick's day. Among manuscripts pre-
served in ST. Louis is an order dated
March 16, 1880, which congratulates the
American army upon the sympathy of
Ireland and commands that all working
parties cease work on the nth out of re-
gard for the Irish nation and its festal
daY.

THE Gold Democrats will find mighty
little encouragement from the recent
speeches of ex-Presidential Candidate
Bryan. A fair sample of his utterances
can be obtained from the following,
which is taken from speech which he
delivered at banquet in Topeka, Kan.
"If Judas had organized a party he
would have been as much justified in
calling it the party of the Saviours as the
Gold Democrats are to style themselves
the Democratic party This only
emphasizes the action of the Bergen
county Democrats who recently turned
out all the members who were oppose
to the Chicago platform, electing or ap-
pointing in their places out and out free
silverites. The same course of action is
noticeable elsewhere about the state.

SOCIETY people in Washington are
somewhat surprised at the action of Mrs.
Hobart in emphatically refusing to coun-
tenance the contemplated entertainment
of the Belgium prince at 4 Sunday even
ing dinner. There should be no surprise
about the matter, for Mis-. Hobart is an
earnest Christian woman and as such
would naturally refuse to engage in
what would manifestly be Dissertation
of the Lords Day. Her influence in
Washington, which already is very
marked, will now be greater than ever,
and as always heretofore, it will be
extended in raising and not lowering the
social standard.

ANNUAL BANK REPORTS.

The commissioner of the department
of banking and insurance has presented
his annual report to the Legislature in
regard to the banking institutions of the
state. The twenty-six savings banks of
this state increased their deposits last
year from 81, $50, S77 to $44, 1873, 624.
Great progress has been made by the
trust and safe deposit companies. There
are twenty-three such institutions in the
state and the increase of deposits was
nearly 81 per cent. over 1896. In 1889
their aggregate capital was 1861 $50, and
now it is s., Abs 900; in 1889 the amount
deposited was $3,513. 22O, and now it is
$40, 876 $3.50; the resources in 1889 were
$4.8S8 500, and now they are $26259.
73027. The state banks increased their
resources only 1856. 10000 over the pre-
ceding year, and this class of institutions
is practically at a standstill. The report
states that the aggregate resources jan
uary 1, 1898, of all of New Jerseys bank
ing institutions, not including national
banks, were $87, 1927. 1928. against $751;
831 ,846 January 1, 1897, an increase of
So, 443, 1892.

IT IS evident that in case war should
break out with Spain Uncle Sam
would have no more enthusiastic sup
porters than the Catholics. The dele
gates of the Young Mems Diocesan Union
of the diocese of Newark in convention
on Sunday were outspoken in behalf
of heartily supporting the Union;
among other resolutions adopted were
the following: Resolved, THAT the dele
gates of the Catholic Young Mems Do
cesar Union of the diocese of Newark.
N. j., in regular meeting assembled, de-
sire for themselves and for the $500
Catholic young men they represent, to
express in strongest terms their unswerv-
ing loyalty to this nation, and to tender
their support to the authorities of the
government in this crisis

judicially. France undoubtedly would
like to see Spain retain Cuba, but she
will hardly go the length of engaging in
war to attain that result.

LIZ does not follow that, because q lot
French holders of Spanish bonds are
willing to send good money after Dad in
the bare hope of saving it all, the
French government will join Spain in a
war with the United States. In fact it
is altogether improbable that France
will indulge in any such risky business
With all their gasconade the French are
thrifty people, They lent Spain money
because they could get high rate of in
terest on it. They advance other sums
to save what they have already invested.
The French Government knows perfect
ly well that for her to interfere in the
quarrel between the United States and
Spain, in the event that these two coun-
tries come to blows, would be the signal
for general European conflict, and she
is hardly prepared for that. If it were
not for that consideration France would
in all probability take sides with Spain
against us in the case of war. The talk
of the ancient friendship of France for
the United States is in the veriest tradi-
tional sentimentality France assisted
us during the Revolution, not because
she loved us, but because she hated
Great Britain, which had just deprived
her of Canada. and had expelled her
from India, putting an end to her dream
of an Oriental Empire. So far from
feeling and displaying friendship for us
it was with France that we had our first
serious foreign complications. So grave
were they that actual war resulted,
which though not general, being con-
fined to few fights at sea, was real ac-
tual was and was recognized as such
