1t may readily be assumed that the piac'

circumstances that conspired toward that emu
were entirely beyond their control. brieny' this
is how 1t came about: Mr.. voorhees, twice sur
rendered his ambition to be PRESIDENT c. the
Senate in order to make way for somepouy eisc.
Before the close OF the legislative session Vi
1897 the Republican Senators individually prom

The politicians who didn't like the independent
Young man from Union County found THIS
bitter mOrse to swallow, but with one OF two
Insignificant exceptions they concluded quietly
to bear It. Only n few weeks later. however
there was CONSERVATION In the antl-Noorhees
camp when The Tribune published the e&ciu-
slve story about Governor Griggs's contemplated
resignation to become Attorney-Generai IN fres-
ident McKinley's Cabinet. AS PRESIDENT OF tne
Senate Mr. Voorhees, would be Acting Governor
for nearly whole year, and the mere thought
OF that greatly alarmed some people. deie'
cation hurried Off to Washington, ana tolu VICE
President Hobart and United States senator
Sewell of how disastrous 1t would be to permit
Voorhees, to gain such eminence. Ihey met
with cold comfort. The Vlce-President ana
General Sewell told the visitors that an at
tempt to beat Voorhees, would arouse the whole
State and make him a popular martyr
So Voorhees, became President OF the Senate
and Acting Governor. AS Acting Governor MS
chief opportunity for distinction came In the
eouipment and care Of the New-Jersey volun-
teers. and II is modest statement OF truth 10 say
that no Governor In the country did more TOT
the welfare Of his State troops than did roster
NJ. Voorhees,. For nearly four months he gave
his whole time to the subject, and nothing was
too small or trivial to be ignored II 1t concerned
the health or comfort Of his men. There was
a popular demand for his nomination and cleo
ton to the Governorsbip for full term, ana
the Republican leaders gracefully acquiesced.
At the polls last November the people ratihed
this action. and that Is how Foster NJ. voorhees,
came to be inaugurated yesterday. He owes
his political strength and his high office to the
people, and there is every reason for the nope
that he will never be unmindful OF this.

He finally plucked up courage and asked the captain.
 CaptPhilip was visibly embarrassed, he said. and besitated before answer ing. and then he said:

There are hundreds cf opportunities for investors. to be- come identified with promising prop critics. A little investigation is all that is needed to bring about good in- vestments.
