TROLLEY MEASURES.

That the trolley will in the near
luture become reality in Morris, as it
has IN other counties of our state. must
De admitted even by its most bitter OPP
ponents. Back of the movement will be
found, aside from anything else, that
ever powerful lever, public sentiment.
The question which now concerns our
county is the consideration of the wisest
manner in which the question can be
handled in order that the interests of all
can best be guarded.
The most important trolley measure
introduced in the Legislature during
the present session was that known
"a tSnF' bergen Trolley Bill" intro
E Mr. Squire of Union, although
tawn by Mr.. Bergen it was ad-
by a host of the most in
hal residents of Union County,
pective of political affiliations. Al
every town in that county sent
resentatives to Trenton and the argu-
ents presented were so fair and SO con-
incing that the bill met with compare
vely little opposition, when generally
Understood. From the most reliable in
Ormation obtainable by the CHRoN-
ole we believe the measure to be a fair
ne and certainly great improvement
5ver the present law. By careful peru
sal of the synopsis of the Bergen bill
published below it will be found that the
granting of franchises. which are not to
.be perpetual, lies altogether in the
owners Of property along the line of
Va proposed trolley or street railroad of
any description. and with the governing
Mpower of townships, boroughs or NUM-
dpalities through which the road will
Pass. The duty of the hour is for the
voters to attend the primaries and see to
4 1t that only trustworthy men are nomi-
mated and placed in positions where they
will be called on to pass upon the appli-
kcations to build street railroads.

TO GUARD THE SABBATH.

The Sabbath observance department
in the Morris County Christian Endeayor
Union, Howard E. Young of Aftcn,
Superintendent, has issued circular
letter to the societies of the Union, call
ing attention to the need and outlining
methods for the work of better Sabbath
keeping. Some of the thoughts contain
ed there are worthy OF the attention of
every citizen, and we quote the follow
ing:
"a very simple rule in Christian Iiv-
ing would be, to avoid that which we
know to be wrong or Of questionable ex-
pediency. Then, first with regard to the
Sunday paper: The man of business
comes home on Saturday night, weary
from the duties of the week. On Sun
day morning he gets the paper, which is
printed especially full for the occasion,
sits down and reads the news. His wife
often either goes to church alone, or
takes wheel for an outing. The chill
dren are thus brought up to esteem
church going of little consequence to
them, and are seldom seen in the house
of God. We are compelled to ask our
selves the question. what will the com
ing generation be, under these influences
We need not allude to the character of
the Sunday papers they speak for them
selves"
Mr.. Young's suggestion of Sabbath
observance department for each society
of the Union, is a good one, and should
be speedily adopted. Thus an effective
campaign against the Sunday paper,
Sunday cycling, Sunday excursions, and
Sunday business might be inaugurated.

ONE hundred and fifty thousand dol

road work, an increase of $4,000, over
the amount named annually for seven

New Jersey has well earned reputation
as leading in the good road movement,
and the action of the Legislature will be
endorsed by the people.

THE new prosecutor Of Hudson county
recently informed Judge Hudspeth that
he would not proceed with any work I'M
til a new jury had been secured, because
the present jurors were too ignorant to
understand evidence. Judge Hudspeth
agreed with the prosecutor. The Eliza
beth Journal aptly remarks concerning
the matter: 1.-The sheriff tries to throw
the blame on the new law, but no law
ever enacted would obtain good jurors
in Hudson if the sheriff choose to act in
the interests of the criminals. No law
compels sheriff to draw wooden heads
and dummy Indians as jurors."s

Many of the volunteers who are still
in the army want to get out because they
enlisted under the notion that they would
be discharged as soon as hostilities ceas-
ed as the volunteers in the cSil war
were. They have their places in business
still reserved for them, but will lose them
if they are held much longer. Some pro-
vided for the care of their families for
the time they supposed the war would
last; or they knew that while the fighting
continued their families would not be al
lowed to suffer. Now they are needed at
home. That is why it is important to en-
large the regular army and also to enlist
native Cubans, Filipinos and Porto Ri
cans for garrison duty as soon as possi-

Stnte Rights.
(From the Boston Herald.)

Fr0m the Boston Herald.)
The men who have come up from South Caro-
lima to Washington TO ask for executive action
against the lawlessness in that State do not
appear to have met with much encouragement
at the White House. This tests the policy of leav
ing the South TO manage its own affairs and it
seems to establish that policy in the nation. The
President would have been embarrassed to depart
from it in view of what has been recently seen
in Illinois There the governor of the State has
been allowed to direct the shooting down of black
citizens of the nation without interference from
Washington. The case in South Carolina has been
hard one, but it would be difficult to point out
where it is more fagrantly wrong than that in
Illinois, and, indeed, in itself it did not so
strongly present an occurrence that called for
Presidential interpositon.

One of the chief subjects now burden

Mr.. Nikola Tesla may be the most gifted Of

should display the practicability OF some OF his
inventions instead Of merely talking about them
in the newspapers. Looking back upon Mr.. Tesia's

less interesting laboratory exhibitions with scien
tific toys. but it is not recalled that he has

Such efforts as can be made in certain
