THREE CAUSES.
abuse.

Three causes were mainly responsible
for Democratic success in New Jersey on
Tuesday. The first was the unwise dis
satisfaction of impatient voters with the
course of the administration concerning
Cuban affairs, including the loss of the
Maine. This is only temporary. When
the patriotic people of New Jersey rea-
lie, as they soon will, the wisdom with
which the war crisis has been handled thus
far by Republican administration, con-
fidence in the party will be much greater
than ever before. Voting the Democratic
ticket because Republican administra-
ton would not hasten to war with Spain
was a senseless action. The second reason
is more serious matter and will not down
until after the contest for the next Unit
ed States Senator is settled, and that is the
potent use of money said to come from .
Senator James Smith, which beginning
with the township elections last month,
has been a powerful and inscriptions
OAOIuOut III 4NOW CCAoCy pO1ltAOo oAiA, az w .
said, will be until Mr.. Smith is RELOCATED
to back seat. AS stated in the CHRoN-
IcLE, the lieutenants in Morris county of
the junior Senator make no secret of the
fact that he must be returned at any
cost and the same tocsin evidently has
been sounded throughout New Jersey.
It is well known fact that it was the
'sbarrel' ofthe junior Senator, now with
cut doubt the Democratic boss in this
State, that elected him to the u S. Sen
ate, but he cannot be returned by the
same means. Such tactics may win in
some portions of the State, but not
generally. The third cause is that hun
dreds of Republicans were not sufficient
" interested to vote. Morris county will
be, found in line next November with
ro1sing majorities for every Republican
candidate on the ticket.

M'KINLEY's MESSAGE.

We give synopsis of President Nc
Kinley's message which was delivered to
Congress early on Monday afternoon.
It was scathing arraignment of the
Spanish inability to guarantee safety to
foreigners in their own harbors.
The President opposed recognition of
belligerency of insurgents as inexpedient;
also opposes recognition of independence.
At present recommends granting author
ity for using United States forces as he
may deem necessary to end hostilities
and insure stable government in Cuba.
He asked for an appropriation for relief of
destitute people in Cuba.
The Maine incident figures promi-
nently, the President urging that the
wreck in Havana Harbor shows conclu-
sively that Spain is not able to guaran-
tee the United States and other nations
security which they have right to de-
mand.
The message shows Spain first suggest
ed the desirability Of an armistice, and
signiied her assent, and asked the United
States to secure assent of insurgents.
This request we denied.
The message states that the present
revolution in Cuba is simply an extern
going on there for the past hundred
years.
It has caused the United States great
expense in order to preserve the neutrali-
ty laws aud has entailed heavy damage
to our trade.
The Maine disaster illustrates the ina
bility of Spain to control her own sub
jects. and their affairs.

duty to both parties to the conflict to
end the present revolution. To do this
we have safe presidents in our own his
tory to authorize us in taking such a
step.
1t is we'll known fact that it has been
the policy of the United States. never to
interfere with the internal relations of
other nations, but in this case it is war
ranted and by doing so we will strictly
adhere to our principles.
First-The cause of humanity, and to
put an end to the bloodshed and the hor-
rible miseries existing in Cuba, which
the parties in the conflict seem to be I'M
able to stop.
Second-We owe to our citizens in
Cuba to afford them protection and in
demnity.
Third The right Of Intervention may
be justified by the very serious injury to
our trade and commerce.
In closing the President said: "The
issue now before Congress is a solemn
responsibility. I have exhausted every
effort to relieve intolerable conditions
and affairs which are at our doors. I
am prepared to execute every obligation
imposed Upon me by the constitution and
the law. I await your actioH."

''IF'

II the crowd hanging upon President
McKinley's arm, lest he should raise it,
and pleading the lack of precedent for
intervention in Cuba, had dominated the
Executive Mansion when it was tenanted
by Monroe, the noole bulwark standing
about this country in the name of that
monumental American would never
have been raised: Macmillan would
be Emperor in Mexico: England would
possess Venzuela, and Spain, wreaking
her thirst for barbaric vengeance on the
rebels in Cuba, would be jeering at the
thought of interference.
Possibly these reflections may suggest
to some statesmen in Congress a larger
view of American public affairs than
emanates from merchants or lawyers of
the stricter school -Nelc York Sun.

FROM ACROSS The SEA.

Rome.-It is learned from the Foreign
Office that the contract for the sale of the
Italian cruiser Garibaldi to Spain has been
suspended until solution shall have been
reached Of the Spanish crisis. In
taking this action, which effectually pre-
vents Spain from getting the cruiser for
use against the United States, the Govern
ment has paid heed to the pro American
feeling prevailing here.
London. "A dispatch received in this
city from Madrid says that Minister Wood
ford has cabled to Washington saying that
the publication Of his statement in the
Madrid press has done good in the capital
and will do the same throughout Spain.
Madrid Premier Sagasta says he will
not take official notice of President Nc
Kinley's message till he has seen its full
text, but that he has not found anything in
it hostile in tone to Spain.
Havana, Cuba.-The Havana news
papers, commenting on Mr.. McKinley's
message, declare that cessation of HOSTILE
tiesn removes any ca.se for Intervention.

CONCERNING THE APPROPRIATION
BILL,

The Somerset Messenger and several
Democratic newspapers in the Fourth
District, notably the Warren County
Journal, have published statements
like the following which is taken from
the Messenger:
The cost of running the State the last
Democratic year was 81 ,857 1882. The
cost this year is $2,37I, S13, an advance
of more than 100000 The appropria-
ton bill was rushed through without
any consideration whatever, during the
last moments of the session, and this in
face of the fact that there was no Demo-
cratic Senator allowed on the committee
1t looked very much as if there were
some unusual expenses" anticipated
A gain of $40 900 week is a fine show
ing, indeed, for ''reform" Administra-
ton.
The papers publishing stuff like the
above. must necessarily know that they are
printing lies of the baldest possible type.
II is a we'll known fact that every item
in the Appropriation bill was considered
in its minutest detail, with the strictest
care, and the utmost economy was exer-
cised.
In addition, the lie to these statements
is given by the Hon. David S. Lawshe
of Stockton, Hunterdon county. He was
the only Democratic member of the COM
mittee and was serving his third term in
the Assembly. When the bill was at
tackled by Democratic Leader Allen, he
rose and einphatically stated that he
wished to contradict every statement of
his leader; that he had never seen SO
much time and care devoted by any
committee to any matter during his ex-
perience of three years, and that he stood
ready to go before his people and defend
every item on the whole appropriation
bill. Assemblyman WEIGH of Morris
County was also member of this COM
mittee and he, in common with the other
members of the committee, may be well
satisfied with its work.

SUMMARY OF THE NEWS.

General Lee told Captain Sigsbee that

lights in Havana were extinguished, show
ing electrical connection with the destruc-
ton of the battleship. General Lee will
tell what he knows to Congress.
News reached Washington from Madrid
that the Spanish warships yizcaya and
Oquendo have sailed from Porto Rico, east
ward bound. Government officials believe
the report is correct and assume that the
vessels have been ordered to the Canarles
or the Cape Verd Islands.
Officers and men on the Key West fleet are
enthusiastic over reports from Washington
which indicate war. The Fern will carry
load Of ammunition from Tampa to the
feet, and will then act as tender to the
flagship.
The Pope telegraphed again to the EN-
peror of Austria Hungary begging him
once more to use his influence with the
other European sovereigns in behalf of
peace between the United States and
Spain.
AS Senator Foraker concluded an earn

OUR cooL-HEADED CONGRESSMAN.

Our friend "Charlie'' Rittenhouse of
the Hackettstown Gazette, in publishing
Congressman Pitney's card, inviting his
constituents to give him their views on
the Cuban crisis couples the notice with
little fling at Mr. Pitney. The Gazette
says ssCool-headed men in Congress are
indication we have seen that our represen-
tative was inclined to edge out among the
yellows." You need not worry, Charlie.
Pitney is as cool headed as anybody can
be in such a crisis as the present, and
under such esponsibilities as fall to the
lot of a representative in Congress. His
request for an expression of opinion
from his constituents is simply an evil
dence of his desire to keep in touch with
the sentiments of his district and to test
the sound judgment of the people whom
he represents. Our people are wise, in
telligent and patriotic and their advice
is worth having. They are hardly to
be classed with the .''yellows" if we I'M
derstand Brother Rittenhouse's use Of
that word. Mr.. Pitney is daily in receipt
of large numbers of letters, as result of
his sensible suggestion. When the time
comes for decision and action, he will
assume his proper responsibility and the
people of the Fourth District will be
satisfied that he has acted in accordance
with the best light obtainable.

NOT "a MISTAKE.

The Banner condemns the appointment
of Rev. Norman Fox. D. D., as a mem
Der of the Excise Board. and also the
conduct Of DR.. Fox in voting for license.
AS usual, it gees ahead without rhyme
or reason. Is does not venture to say
that DR.. Fox is not eminently qualified
by his character and attachments for the
office. 1t only echoes the cry of certain
Democratic politicians, whose hold on
the liquor dealers will be entirely broken
by such appointments and of those en-
gagged in the liquor traffic who have no de-
sire to keep the law and who dread hav-
ing an Excise Board that cannot be
squared"
When the appointment was first an
nounced these parties took it for granted
that DIR. Fox would not fulfil the duties
of his Office fairly, but would vote
against every license applied for.
Now that it is manifest that he has
due regard TO the responsibilities of his
position. they stand back crashing their
teeth in rage and holding up their hands
in hypocritical horror, at minister
voting for license.
The Banners reference that 'sthese
places are opened not only with the sane
ton but with the emphatic endorsement
of the Rev. DIR. Fox and all that he repre-
sents,' is worthy of the source it comes
from. Rev. DIR. Fox neither sanctions
or endorses the saloon. but the law does
and the administration of even bad law
should not be placed in the hands of bad
men. We have too much of that, and
DR.. Fox's presence on the Excise Board
is a step in the direction of better order
in the community.
The excise law if fairly enforced would
considerably reduce the evils of the
saloon as we now have it, and it is a
wise thing for good citizens to keep the
administration of the law in the hands
of worthy men.
DR.. Fox's vote for license is against
abuse.

COMMENT ON THE MEsSaGE.

The tone of the messagel is warlike,
but the conclusions are peaceful. All
things considered, the President has
taken fair step towards peade.
He stands with the drawn sword. 1t
is for Spain to say whether the blow shall
fall
While peace hangs on the horizon, no
matter how low, we must do homage to
peace. We cannot fight an unjust or
hasty war. First use all means to con-
ciliate. Failing in that, all means TO
crush. The nations speak the voice of
humanity. As one of the brotherhood Of
nations we at least must pause and heed.

selected lines of the Presidents message

ecutive purpose to 'senforce the pacifca-

Big Liners for the Navy.

New York, n. Y.-Several of the vessels
of the North German Lloyd Mediterranean
service have been offered to the Govern
ment. Gustav H. Schwab, of the New
York office Of the Company, has made the
offer to the Naval Auxiliary Board, and it
is possible that negotiations looking to
their purchase will be opened shortly. The
largest and best-equipped vessels will not,
however, be sold. In the Mediterranean
service are the Fulda, Ems, Werra, Kaiser
Wilhelm II. and Adler. The American
line steamer Illinois will be inspected short
