Indiarubber Carl.

A large number of the citizens of New
ark nave been at a loss to decide where
the regiided Newark DAILY ADVERTISE"
stands on most subjects. There is one
point, however, on which its position can
not be mistaken, and that is the appoint
ment of Major Carl Lentz as Prosecutor
of the Pleas of Essex county.
In a CUB loaded editorial on Saturday,
which was meant to be very sarcastic, tile
advertiser sits on the Majors ambi-
tion to prosecute crime in that large coun-
fy, with a vehemence which would has-
ten out tie aspirations of many another
man to the proportions Of a buckwheat
cake.
But Major Lentz is somewhat of the
consistency of india rubber when ne is
looking for a good office, and, when the
advertiser gets up, it will see the Ma
3or bound like a ball right into the front
rank Of candidates again. It is a hard
matter to suppress Major Lentz, as those
who are trying to keep him out OF the
PROSECUTORS Office viii find.

porations OF South Jersey from running
stores for their employees. The bills
man from the amt source as last
session and the labor organizations of
South Jersey and the upper part of the
State are back of them. The glass man
ufacturerss have not expressed them
selves as to whether they will endeavor
to prevent the passage of the bills. In
years gone by they put up a solid front
against these anti-store bills.
Some appointments can be expected
this week. The Governor expects to de-
vote Tuesday to hearing applicants and
receiving the delegations. The most inn
portant appointment unde consideration
is that of the Prosecutor of Essex coun-
ty. Major Carl Lentz wants this office,
but some of the Republican leaders think
that he Is not entitled to it, because of
his opposition to Governor Voorhees, early
in the campaign. Others, however, argue
that the Major did good work for yoor-
heeS in the campaign and the matter of
the difference of opinion should not
stand in the way of his appointment.
Those who are close to the Governor ex-
pect that he will forgive and forget, and
appoint the Major in a few weeks.
The appointment of the State Librarian
will be, made on Tuesday, as the term OF
Colonel Hamilton expired today. The
principal fight has been between the pres
ent incumbent and William S. Sharp. A
few days ago a dark horse was put into
the contest and it ooks now as if thar

The office pays $4,000 a year. and the term
is for five years. The selection is made
by the state Library Commission, which
consists of the Governor. the Chancellor,
Chief Justice. Attorney Generals, Secre-
tary of State and Controller.
The present incumbent is supported by
the Chancellor, Chief Justice and Attor-
ney General. The others have not cen
tired on any of the other seven candi-
dates. Tue Governor n Secretary of
State are willing to vote for a compromise
candidate, n a prominent newspaper
man, Mr.. Henry @. Buchanan, is talked
of. The newspaper men are doing all
they for him, and 1t looks now as If
he will be successful.
There Is nothing new on the question OF
making changes in the State departments
There is a division of opinion as 20
whether it would be wise to make any
sweeping changes this year. A few
changes are to be made each year, until
the changes are accomplished, but all the
State commissions are to be Kept as they
are now, bipartisan, because the change
could only be accomplished by legisla-
ton, and 1t is not the character of legis-
1ation that the Republicans want to stand
sponsors for just at the present time.

Maud1in Humbug About Smith.

The Herald" yesterday, in comment
ing on the Senatorial election, bestowed
some taffy upon senator James Smith.
It told how the Democratic minority be-
slowed its complimentary" vote upon
him. and it gave this as the reason:-
The fact was that every Democrat in
the legislature appreciated the worth OF
Mr.. Smith and his services to the party,
tunity presented them to publicly express
that appreciation.
How the sfHerald's can print such
mawkish nonsense, we do not understand.
The sHerald'' knows perfectly well that
the only reason why no opposition was
made to Smith was that it was not worth
while.
The ssHerald', also knows that Smith
has done the State no service and that his
record is a disgrace to New Jersey. He
has used his influence not to get any
benefit for the people but to find snap
Jobs for his heelers and %wirepullers. He
was a traitor on the tariff and a trimmer
on the currency question. 1t was his bad
name that caused the defeat of Elvin w.
Crane. He is t~reacherous and cowardly,
and the Democratic party has no use for

The publication of the Laws.

Al number of newspaper puplshers
throughout the State are agitating lor
the restoration of the old system OF pup
fishing the laws of each session in the
newspapers. They are chiefly small coun-
try e-wspapersmen to whom the spV OF
$500 which used to be paid by the state
for the service. represents about half
their years profit. None of the daily
newspapers has interested itself in the
movement, the net amount which they
make out of the transaction being TOO
small to warrant any expensive fight to
getsit.
Notwithstanding this apathy OF the
great papers, and Notwithstanding all that
cranks and politicians may say, the news
papermen are right in demanding the pub
LEGATION of the laws. 1t is an outrage ana
a joke on civilized government that we
should spend over a million a year-as we
do when county expenditures are in
cluded-in this State to punish violations
OF the law, and are yet too stingy to
spend SEQ, 900 or $40, 0O0-all the publication
ever cost except in 1S94-to %acquaint the
people with the statutes which they are
expected to obey.
If the pretext of economy, upon which
the publication was abolished, had been
verified in any way. the opponents of the
old system might have some ground 10
stand upon. But it is notorious that IL
has not. The money has simply been
diverted into other channels of extrava-
gance, more grateful to the politicians.
The aggregate of the States expenses are
far more than they were before the
abolition, and the people are not getting
one atom of better government thar be-
fore. To prove this assertion, we neeo
