THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Monday next will mark the one hun
dred and twenty second anniversary of
American Independence, and it will be
celebrated in the very midst of the actual
incidents, at home and abroad, of hot
foreign war. This is not altogether sur
prising, since the parchment of our lib
critics was sealed with the blood of the
fathers.
We opine that the day at and about
Santiago will be thunderously commem-
GRATED, with emphases of musketry and
the puntuation of big guns; indeed, judg-
ing from the measured encroachments of
the American army operating near the
doomed Cuban stronghold we are inclin-
ed to expect either its most fierce bonn
bardment or its full capitulation on that
historical date, though, of course, such a
result may transpire earlier or later.
Perhaps the most manifest as well as
the most gratifying and enduring feature
of the Fourth of July of 1898 is that of
the signal unity of the whole people of
these forty five American States, welded
in indivisible nationality and warning
shoulder to shoulder for the nations tri-
umph and glory. What are known as
the geographical sections of the country,
and which must remain thus through all
time North. South, East and West-are
now engaged in the patriotic rivalry of
producing unparalleled heroes. and the
Mauser shot Of the Spaniard is impartial
in its mission and pierces with equal IA
tality the Northern or the Southern vol
unteer's breast, while before their con-
certed and incompatible valor his hosts
are foredoomed to confusion.
If we shall be wise, and shall resolve
that thestai of political contention must
never mar the spirit of this contest or
mock its victories and spoils- remember
ing and treasuring that it is war being
fought by the American people for Am
erican honor, for American renown and
for American greatness, then the national
anniversary of 1898 will be, and will have
been, the grandest in American annals.

A POINT in LONGEVITY.

OF the late Confederate army there are
surviving today of its famous cavalry
leaders Wade Hampton, Fitzhugh Lee,
Wheeler, Butler. Rosser, Mosby. and
perhaps others. Lee, Wheeler, Butler
and Rosser are now major generals Of
volunteers in the United States army.
As the ratio of cavalry to infantry in
our civil war was as about one in twelve
and the proportion of cavalry officers not
greater than possibly as one to twenty, it
is very remarkable that these command
ers of cavalry should have survived their
host of comrades who led the Confederate
infantry and numbers of whom outlived
that war.
The question suggests itself, Was there
normally anything in the nature of the
cavalry service to promote comparative
long life? In sense there was. While
there was no picnic anywhere, mounted
men had great advantages on the march
and unusual chances for ample food by
foraging. But infantry leaders were also
mounted, and they had the pick of the
com missariat
What makes this all the more perplex-
ing is that the case is distinctly reversed
when applied to the Federal military SER
vice of the civil war. where it is seen that
the cavalry commanders who survived
the fighting period have almost wholly
departed while small number only of
the infantry commanders are alive and
very few of these are capable of field duty
in this war.
On the other hand, the South presents
for active military work six robust vete-
ran cavalry leaders, each of whom has
been wounded once or oftener, two of
whom have only pair of legs for both,
but all of whom have unimpaired health
and high military spirit.
Who will elucidate this problem in
longevity?

VERBATIM ET LiTERATIM.

The CHRONICLE in recent issue asked
as to who of certain responsible city offic-
ials was to blame for specific delay in the
matter Of a certain 6ra alarm. An inter
view with Chief Engineer Fox last week
shed some light on this.
At Thursday nights (s3rd June) meet
ing Of the Board of Aldermen, upon the
call of further business, " yet more efful-
gence and lucidity were thrown upon the
vexed issue by Alderman Lines of the
Second ward, whose remarks, reproduced
from the stenographic notes, will be
deemed to have settled the question. Mr..
Lines said:
''Yes, Mr.. Mayor, have matter of
further business for to bring before this
board. There recently appeared in one
of our city papers editorial in reference
to who was to blame Of the fire depart
ment and police in reference to the fire at
Kissel's. 1t was matter of courtesy no
doubt that the kimidal ingin was sent to
that fire, but want to say here that the
taxpayers of the city of Morristown don't
pay no taxes for to send their ingins out
side the city limits. Suppos'n that the
fire on Speedwell avenue had happened
at the time the kimical ingin was at the
Kissel fire. And consider that if Ingi-
neer Fox was a sleepin at the time of the
Kissel fire he was doin the right thing
and he should not have woke up. and if
the police did not attend to it they had
enough to do without lookin after fire out
of the city limits. say don't like to see
editorial on who was to blame. 1 am
sure the city is to blame in allowin the
ingin to go out that's what l say"

AMERICAN GRIT.

The British steel protected cruiser Tai
bot. of ), 900 tons, twenty mine high-grade
modern guns and four torpedo tubes, was
recently making her placid way toward
West Indian port, when she was espied
by little speck on the sea that mistook
the big ship for Spaniard and popped a
solid shot across her bow. The big ship
hove to. An English spectator of the in
eident thus comments:
ssThe officers of the Talbot were simply
aghast at such effrontery. I don't believe
there was ever such spectacle on the
high seas before a tugboat firing on a
man Of war. and coming right along look
ing for trouble. If the Talbot had
been Spaniard thoroughly believe the
Yankee tug would have opened fight
then and there. The humor of the
situation appealed to us, and we laughed
ever it for an hour

BY TEsT. The FINEST AFLoAT.

For the reason that nine-tenths of the
warships of the regular navy of the Uni
ted States. and fifty per cent of our best
guns, have been continually engaged in
tremendous action, determines both the
very highest in quality and makes the
navy itself for its size superior to any
other ahoat, since all others remain un-
tested theories. We doubt if the world
can produce like fleet of steel, built on
twenty varying models and each vessel q
mass of complex mechanism. that could
remain two months in all seas, making
day and night cruises and constantly
discharging the largest naval ordnance in
existence, and yet sustaining not the
slightest mishap to gun. to any part of
the machinery, to ship or to mani At
the same time the gunnery has been the
best on record and the rapidity of firing
unparalleled in peace or war.
The foregoing brief observations are
most sincerely commended to the corps
of distinguished expert foreign war cor
respondents who have been sent out to
get points, but who enthusiastically write
windy criticisms of what they see. There
isn't one of them that ever heard great
battleship's big gun belch thunderous
disregard Of Krupp's and Whitworth's
toy artillery till Sampson let them into
the show, but if they'll keep themselves
within range of the German, French and
Spanish marksmen, and beyond that of
the Americans, they'll survive this war
to see Yankee guns and Yankee ammu-
milton adopted in all the navies of the
globe.

He GRAVES TO BE LYNcHED.

On the abstract question of lynching,
we are frank to say, we do not think we
should fancy being lynched. But there
seem to be those who would: and if they
wish it. it is none OF our affair. Certainly,
be it said, the following atrocious fab
rication could never have had its source
in sound mind unless the morbid author
fully believed he ought to been lariated at
the neck and landed in the air:
Lexington, KY, June 20.
ssChronicle, Morristown:
Reported yellow fever and smallpox
causing many deaths among soldiers at
Tampa"
This dispatch came to us in regular or
der on Tuesday afternoon, and we imme-
diately suppressed it, seeing that it was
porous with the presence of fraud.
A telegram such as this could have had
no origin save in the willful purpose to
spread dismay and horror among the
hundreds of thousands of relatives and
connections of the volunteer troops en-
camped at Tampa. and indeed to shock
the patriotic sense of the entire country.
Few who had read this baleful telegram
would have paused to question its verify.
They could hardly have known that a
Tampa news dispatch by way of Louis
vile, KY, made it at once suspicious.
Few, too, would know that yellow fever,
hot-weather malady, and small pox, a
cold-weather malady, never coexist; nor
could they know that yellow fever, even
at susceptible localities, never appears
earlier than middle August and has then
to be imported from abroad.
So that the small -souled sponsor of the
foregoing special is obviously a foe to
humanity and of the country and libel
on civilization, and if, as is evident, he is
laundering to be caught and summarily
extinguished, we think we will be agreed
with when we contend that in this at
least he ought instantly to have his own
way.

THE FIRST NEW JERSEY.

The First New Jersey Regiment, made
up principally of Newark men, is part of
the First Division Of the Second Corps,
Us. Army. II is the right of. the line.
Associated with it are the Seventh and
Eighth Ohio, Sixty fifth New York, Sixth
Illinois, Ninth Separate Battery of Ohio,
Sixth Massachusetts, and the Eighth,
Twelfth and Thirteenth Pennsylvania.
This is body of ten thousand excellent
volunteer troops from the New England,
the Middle and Western States. admira-
bly, equipped and ready for the field, and
they are commanded by Major General
Matthew G. Butler of South Carolina, a
distinguished cavalry leader of Lees
Army of Northern Virginia in our great
civil war. This combination is conspie-
uously the most striking which has been
evolved by the present war, the four ear
dinal sections of the country being assem-
bled under the same division standard.
General Butler and General Fred Grant
were recently selected by the Sons Of the
American Revelation to be the recipients
of an especial distinction. To General
Grant they presented a costly sword and
epaulettes and to General Butler they
gave magnificent JET black warhorse,
this because thrice he had had white
horses shot under him, losing himself a
leg at the knee on one of these occasions
New Jersey and the other States whose
troops are present with this superb divis-
ion will watch its career in battle with a
glow of enthusiastic interest.

THE PHILIPPINES.

I In his ''Notes on the Foreign Policy of
the United States" by Carman F Ran
dolph of Morristown, author of "The
Law of Eminent Domain" that learned
gentleman says, with reference to our
relations with the Philippines:
admiral Dewey's achievement at
Manila may present the United States
with the problem of dealing definitely
with territory in the other hemisphere.
A proper solution is not suggested by our
experience, but it is we'll within our
competency if we shall be inspired by
true conceptions of duty and interest
Sharp practitioners assert that what
ever moral obligations may restrain us
from appropriating Cuba. we have free
hand in the Philippines because we have
made no disclaimer in respect of them.
This distinction is immoral. We have
made war upon Spain because of the in
tolerable condition of neighboring
colony, and prefaced our action by a
disclaimer of grasping motives. The
moral strength of this position will be
impaired if we unnecessarily appropriate
remote possession of Spain, the condi-
ton of which was never the object of
our. concern, much less of remonstrance.
Yet the United States may be compelled
eventually to treat the Philippines as
divorced from Spain. without evading
any self-imposed restraint. SPANS
authority over the islands is vigorously
disputed by rebels, and it is jeopardized
by our legitimate operations at Manila.
In view of these facts and the internal
weakness of the metropolitan State, the
close of the war may find the Philippines
irretrievably lost to Spain. The active
duty of the United States. in this event.
cannot be forecasted, for the disposition
of this great domain will depend upon
conditions not yet developed. Possibly
the intense rivalry between the European
Powers may suggest a government for
the islands modelled upon the lines of the
Congo State; or they might be trans
ferred to the Dutch, who are independent,
yet not aggressively strong, and have
demonstrated their ability to administer
the Philippines by their long and sue
cessful rule in Java.
sThe passive duty of the United States
is clearly forshadowed. The Philippines
ought not to be annexed, because the
considerations which discourage the
annexation of Cuba, lying at our very
door, are absolutely prohibitive in the
case of territory six thousand miles over
sea, and peopled by millions of
barbarians.
"Our passive duty in respect of the
Philippines and other territory over sea
is commended by our established policy
we neither covet possessions beyond
America nor permit foreign nations to
aggrand1ze their domains at expense Of
American States.

IT WOULD appear on the surface at
least, somewhat strange to have whole
sale indictment of members of the Board
of Freeholders. save perhaps in Hudson,
Passaic or Mercer. Last year some
unsavory road building contracts di-
recfed attention to crooked road work in
connection with building in the latter
county. In Hudson there is a standing
scandal generally afioat concerning some
Of the Democratic members, while in
Passaic the Grand Jury recently indicted
thirteen members of its Board for mis-
demeanor in awarding work in connec-
ton with the building of bridge. 1t
might be just as well for the members of
the Morris County Board to also keep a
watchful eye on bridge contracts. One
recently awarded in Madison borough
has some of the peculiar earmarks of the
award in Passaic and for which indict-
ments were found against, to say the
least. unfaithful servants of the people.
