WELL SPENT MONEY.

Some unscrupulous Democrats are
clumsily trying to make capital of
the fact that the State expenditures
are about 5000, 900 year greater than
in the days when the coal combine
ruled. They very carefully neglect to
state that the income of the state has
also increased so that there is always a
surplus of receipts over disburse-
ments, amounting last year to over
500, 900.
The growing expenditures is caused
by the natural growth of the StatS
and how well spent, may be seen when
we mention that last year over
$780, 900 was applied to building or i'm
proving such institutions as the State
Reformatory, the Normal School, the
State Hospital at Morris Plains, the
Newark Armory, and hospital at
the Deaf Mutes school.
What would our Democratic friends
propose to do with the money which
is flowing into the State treasury !
Would they spend as before on
office furniture, for private indivldu-
ais, State House ventilation, " flag
staff, . reference files and the
like which figured so unpleasantly in
the proceedings Of an investigating
committee? Surly they would not
propose to hand the money back to
the corporations against which they
speak so much but which pay more
than two thirds Of the whole amount
received by the State annually, the
figures for last year being 81, 939, 2o6,
out of a total of so, 1893, 755.
And by the by if the idoitic Bryan
ties had their way and drove the cor
porations from the State, our tax-rate
would have to be increased sufficiently
to provide that 81, 939, 1885,

Bowling Enthusiasts Getting Ready
for the Approaching Season.
Bowling enthusiasts are now be-
ginning to put in an appearance at the
various places at which this sport is
enjoyed in town and the outlook is
favorable for lively season on the
alleys. Tapkaow Club probably has
greater number of enthusiasts than
any other local organization and a
few of its members enjoyed the sport
all summer. On the alleys of this
club match will begin soon, proba-
bly, next week The contest will be
divided into three classes of players
and prize ball will be given in each.
Club matches will begin at the
Young Mems Catholic Association
alleys next week. Already members
are manifesting an extraordinary in
terest in bowling.
A tournament for a gold medal is
being rolled on Samuel Leonard IS
Speedwell avenue alleys. The
matches are to occur every Tuesday
night.
Nothing has been done as vet in
the Field Club alleys but an effort
will be made to increase interest in
bowling this season.

HUDSON COUNTY POLITICS.

The Democratic party in Morris
County is rather disheartened by the
extent to which Hudson County
methods have been introduced into
it's management for the benefit of
Croker Cook and his few friends.
They were led to believe last year
that if "Croker" had charge of the
campaign a brilliant success awaited
them. The fact is it was the worst
managed campaign in many years.
There was evidently desire for
change, and at the recent county con-
vention the County Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee was instructed to
call meeting within one week for
organization. The meeting was called
for half past nine O'Clock yesterday
morning, an hour when it was impos-
sible for the country members to be
present. The chairman at once an
nounced that there was no quorum
present Shortly after when the mem
bers arrived, it was discovered that
the chairman had disappeared, much
to the disgust Of the old line Demo
Gratis. Thus the wiley Hudsonite came
out ahead and holds over until De-
cember.

LAMENTABLE.

The probable settlement on salts
factory basis of the sewerage pro-
blems of the Essex County subur-
ban towns, with Summit, will clear
the way for the consideration of the
district which lies to the west, in
Morris county, which is in great need
of local sewerage. 1t will astonish
many who know these elegant, wealthy
and advanced communities to learn
that they have no public sewerage,
although they have water supply.
Morristown and Madison are especial
ly in need, and they should not delay
action, as every year adds to the seri-
Gus nature of their difficulties. =

Charles Hunts Career Ended AS a
Result of Sleeping on the Tracks.
The body of Charles Hunt, of Dem
vile, was found on the tracks of the
Lackawanna railroad near Rockaway
on Tuesday afternoon. He was struck,
and it is supposed instantly killed,
by the train which left Rockaway at
1856. The man is said to have fallen
asleep on the tracks earlier in the day
when he was carried from his danger
Gus position by Henry R. Dobbins.
There is an overhead bridge near
the point where Hunt met his death
and he could not be seen by the engi-
neer until the engine passed the
bridge. The engine was reversed and
the brakes put on, but too late. The
man was asleep on the rail. His
skull was crushed and the body
mangled.

POPULARITY. J"

The Democratic ticket is an excel
lent one-the candidates are able,
clean and personally popular, and
there is no reason why, if the individ-
ual members of their party do their
plain duty, they should not be elected
by handsome majorities. Banner,
Oct. 18th, 1899.
Yes, their popularity" has been
proved on the various occasions on
which they have previously run for
office and have been defeated. I'm
doubtedly they will maintain their
record for this particular sort of
popularity" on November 18th.

SEEKS TO MISLEAD

The Dover Index being short of any
good reason for supporting the Demo
cratic ticket this fall renders itself
ridiculous by trying to make one.
1t complains that the taxes have
greatly increased during the past few
years and says, the Republican party
who had charge of the county and
made such a large increase in the
expense account ought to be brought
severely to account for such actions. !"
AS a matter of fact the Republican
party did not have charge of the
county for number of years, until
six months ago. If somebody is to
be brought to account" it should be
the Democratic party and we don't
care how severely" that is done.
Has the Index lost it's grip? The
resolution adopted by the Democratic
County Convention lies much more
skillfully. 1t alludes to the growth
of our county expenses from $11o, 900
per annum under the Democratic ad-
ministration to 5000, 900 and over I'M
der Republican regime. y That is
true as to the letter but false as to
the sense. There was a Democratic
administration when the county ex-
penses were $115, 900 per annum and
there is Republican reigme under
which the expenditures are 5000, 900.
But the increase has not taken place
under the Republican regime which
dates only from May last.

OBITUARY..

Asa Berry, a venerable resident of
Berkshire Valley, died at his residence
there on Thursday the 10Th inst, at
the ripe old age of SO years and six
months, of old age, although he re-
tanned all his faculties until the last.
Mr.. Berry had lived nearly all his life
at Berkshire Valley where he was
highly esteemed. He helped to build
the Presbyterian Church of that place
in 1926, of which he had been an
active and consistent member for over
half a century. The loss to the COM
munity occasioned by his death is
very great, although his influence
will be felt for years to come, as it
was power for all that was good.
Seven children survive, four sons
and three daughters: Mrs. Elias Hey
ward, of Berkshire Valley, Mrs.
Charles H. Johnson, Joseph H. Berry,
Noah A. Berry, Mrs Antoine Spin
ner, and Sylvester, Berry, of Morris
town; and Stephen D. Berry, of
Scranton, Pa, twenty eight grand
children and ten great grandchildren !;
also one brother and sister. The wife
of Mr.. Berry died about two and a
half years ago, aged '82 years.
Professor Joseph Won Wenint, who
for the past four years had been a
master at the Morristown School,
died in New York on Wednesday. He
had been i'll only week having gone
to the home of relatives in New York.
Deceased was graduate of the Uni
versity of Berlin, Germany. He was
teacher of Latin and Greek at the
Morristown School where he rendered
valuable services and was well liked
by all with whom he came in contact.
The funeral in New York will be at
tended by several masters of the
school.

PAssAIC COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

The Passaic County branch of the
American Democratic party, a new
institution, has placed four candidates
in nomination for Assembly, and the
chairman, himself nominee, has is
sued an address setting forth the prln-
ciples Of the party and the claims OF
the candidates. One plank of the party
platform declares that the "gov-
eminent which governs least governs
best, " and another plank proposes an
enlargement of government powers by
declaring that the government shall
own and control the mines, railroads,
canals, gas and electric plants and
waterworlzs and operate them in the
interest of the people at the lowest
possible rate. " The palpable conflict
between those two planks, to say
nothing of the candidates themselves
"to the American people as candidates
for the Assembly would indicate
that the trainers of the platform and
addresses are not quite up to the
average intelligence necessary for law
makers. Possibly, Chairman Gourley
may consider it his duty to look after
his visionary fellow citizens

HAD MONEY TO BURN.
Martin Johnson Threw $40 in Fire
Is Probably Sorry Now.

Martin Johnson Threw $40 in Fire
Is Probably Sorry Now.
Many stories are told of persons
"who have money to burn" but
there are and have been but few cases
where such sentiment is literally APP
plicable An instance which proved
that the speech is sometimes more
than metaphor was recorded here on
Saturday last. Martin johnson, an
employee of the Morristown Gas Com
pany, deliberately threw $40 in a
blazing furnace.
johnson and his wife had quarreled
and the former went to the Savings
Bank and drew out $500, which repre-
sented their combined savings. They
divided the money equally and agreed
to separate. The woman left to join
relatives in New York while johnson
started out to celebrate his wife's de-
parture.
He wound up the day by appearing
at the gas company plant at nightfall
and later in the evening related the
story of his domestic troubles to sym
pathetic hearers. Suddenly he threw
a roll of bills in the fire remarking as
he did so, " that money is a curse any
how" The bills were almost in
stantly consumed. The money burned
was his share of the savings, less SIC
which had been spent in dissipation.

A QUESTION FOR MERCHANTS

The Westfield and Elizabeth Street
Railway Company is building line
whereby the cities of Elizabeth and
Plainfield will be connected, and it is
stated that the franchise has been
secured to the Elizabeth city line.
This leads the Journa1-of that city to
remark:
The whole matter is to come before
council in an open meeting on Nov.
/, and this is the time the Elizabeth
merchants should make known their
interest in this matter. They nm
doubtedly have opinions on this sub.
ject. They certainly know if they
want the new trolley company t.
bring people to this city, and council
is ready to hear them and to be in
fluenced by their suggestions. To use
a colloquial phrase, the trolley fran
chise matter is cup to" the Elizabeth
merchants now, and they should make
themselves heard in no uncertain o.
mildly audible manner

COMBINE" NOMINEES.

The Democrats have named some
tickets that have interesting person
nels, and which brings to the front
again men who are we'll known in the
State. Ex-Congressman Johnston
Cornish, has become the nominee for
Senator in Warren.
There can be no speculation as to
the outcome of the Warren campaign.
Senator Cornish will succeed Senator
Barber IN the upper house, and will
again sit in the chair he formerly
kept warm for three years. His re-
turn to the Senate will recall the
halcyon days of the New Jersey De-
mocracy, when there was galaxy OF
Democratic Statesmen, the Apollol1ke
Adrain, the wise Werts, of Morris;
the woeful Edwards, of Hudson, and
the good natured Hinchcliffe, of Pas
sale.
The return of Cornish means that
he is in training for Governor. That
has always been his ambition, and the
fact that he comes back to the monot-
ony of the upper house of the State
Legislature after term in the Ma
tional Congress means that he is get
ting ready for some political advance
ment.
The nomination of ex-speaker James
J. Bergen to be the Democratic candi-
date for Senator in Somerset, is open
to the same construction. Bergen has
gubernatorial aspirations, and he has
had them for some time. Newark

HAVE THE PEOPLE FoRGoTTEN2

The singular fact is pointed OUT by
the Newark News that the Democrats
in four counties of the State have
nominated as candidates for the Leg
islature men who were members Of
that body in 1891 90 93, and who par
ticipated in all the evil legislation of
those days, which resulted in hurting
the Democracy from power in the
State. In 1892, Cornish, Of Warren !;
Johnson, of Monmouth, and Strimple,
}oI' Salem, helped to pass the Albeit
lg lis which deprived Camden and
Gher cities of local self-government,
s>nd imposed a one-man board of pub
lie instruction, most outrageous act
which the Legislature has been alto
gether too slow in repeating. Cornish
helped to pass the coal combine bill
and in 1898 voted for the Race Tract
Bill, which Bergen, of Somerset, then
Speaker of the House, helped along by
his rulings in the chair. These can
didates proved by their subserviency
to the rule of the same old gang"
that they were not to be trusted as
representatives of the people and were
forced into retirement. They have
emerged again, and are now seeking
the honors they before disgraced.
The News askes, thave the people
forgotten?' 1t is probable they have,
but their memory having been logged
it is to be hoped the people of Warren,
Salem, Somerset and Monmouth will
not stultify themselves by voting for
either of the candidates.

The platform of the Democrats is
suspiciously silent with regard to
House Bill 300. This bill which
authorizes the Morris Canal Company
to discontinue its services as common
carriers in this state and at the same
time hold on to all the privileges
which were granted to it in return
for the services it was to render.
The Democrats do good deal of
talking against corporations in gener-
al, but when it comes down to piece
of genuine jobbery by the Canal Co.,
the Lehigh Valley Railroad or
the East Jersey Water Company, the
whole convention from Croker Cook
down is ominously still. A vote for
Welsh and Garrison is vote against
this gigantic job.

LIKE THE "oTHER KIND" TOO.


The Newark Call, Independent
Democrat, does not agree with the
few in Essex County who object to
the nomination by the Republicans of
Thomas N. McCarter, Jr., for State
Senator owing to his youth and
"impulsiveness" and adds very apt
ly
"The objection to impulse is, we
believe, that it is likely to get the i'm
pulsive one in trouble-not that it
does others any harm. AS for our
selves, we have seen cold and calcu-
lating men in public Office rather
often, and we confess preference for
the other kind.
