FACTORIES ONCE MORE.

The merchants of Morristown can
clearly see from the testimony regarding
the effects Of factories in other cities as
given in the CHRONICLE. that they are a
great gain in every way. We com
mend to them especially the statement
made by Mr.. Runyon, a well informed
editor Of Plainfeld, regarding his own
citv. If the merchants here want like
experience they must do some hustling
themselves. Nobody else will arrange
things for them.

ouR METROPOLIS UNPROTECTED.

New Workers would feel more COM
Portable if the Spanish war vessel visit
ing their harbor had for company at
least one United States ship fairly her
equal. It does seem that the greatest
commercial city on this continent, con-
tanning as it does vast boards of gold in
the snb-treasury and the various banks,
should have some kind of defence at all
times. The inadequacy of our navy,
which has never been more apparent
than now, is greatly to be regretted and
should be remedied as quickly as posi-
Bile.
