TRUTHFUL COMMENT.

Refreshed in mind and soul and body,
the thousands of Christian Endeavorers
who have sojourned among us for the
past week are speeding away to their
homes. That they carry with them
recollections of pleasant time in the
City of the Straits, is not debatable
proposition. AS bright, optimistic,
devout-minded young people, they would
have been untrue to themselves if they
had not enjoyed the hospitable greetings
with which they were received by their
Detroit brethren, taken in the beautiful
attractions which the convention city
has to offer to all her guests, been filed
with religious fervor, and uplifted to
higher planes of spiritual experience
than ever before in their lives.
The great convention was remarkable
for its quiet, though intensely religious
spirit. There was an absence of SEN
sationalism or noisy demonstrativeness
in the gatherings of the Endeavorers, but
an abundance of genuine enthusiasm and
deep earnestness that were expressed in
frequent and inspiring song. The last
ing effects upon the lives and characters
of these self-contained, self respecting
people, who have been listening for a
whole week to some of the most talented
men in the religious world of to-day,
must be incalculable.
And as for the people of Detroit, who
have acted the part of hosts to these
Christian visitors they have much reason
for self-congratulation and pride over the
outcome of their efforts to make the eigh-
tenth annual convention of this society
the most memorable in its history De

TEXAS, with great pride and self-re-
lance, has not, up to the present time,
called on other States for help in caring
for the 30, 900 hungry people of all ages
who are now dependant on charity in
the flooded districts of the Lone Star
State. On the contrary, she has buckled
to the problem with great success, and
already more than 100 carloads of food,
clothing and medical supplies have been
distributed at relief centers. One of the
interesting phenomena in such times of
disaster is the resourcefulness which it
develops at home. At the time of the
Charleston earthquake, which so serious
ly .impeded the prosperity of that city,
the authorities telegraphed far and wide
that they did not need foreign charity.
The city and State could take ample care
of the situation.

DINGLEY TARIFF ALL RIGHT.

The efficiency guessers were all wrong
last year, and will have to start over
new next year. The Dinghy tariff is
performing all it promised and much
more. Under its operation the country
has settled into prosperous business ways
and is moving on to the commercial
leadership of the globe.
The most confident supporters of the
law were not sanguine enough in their
estimate of its returns for the fiscal year,
while those who quarrel with it are
overwhelmed by the result of the years
business. America has something to sell
now and is, therefore. able to buy. The
steady gain in dutiable imports through
out the year has been discouraging to
critics who insisted that we had put our
commercial wall too high to be got over
and had laid fatal restrictions upon
commerce.
The May reports showed gain in dut-
liable imports for the month of over
$10,000,000. nearly forty per cent, in ex-
cess of May, 1898, and the total imports
showed gain of nearly $l7,000,0O over
the figures of last year for the same
month.
There is a gain amounting to over $780,
10000 in the imports of the past eleven
months when compared with the same
period last year, and $65, OOO,O 900 of that
gain is in goods subject to duty.
The deficiency in revenue for the cur
rent year was placed in the neighbor-
hood of $150,OOO,OOo by the average
prophet last year. Secretary Gage put
it at $112, 900 and was ridiculed for
his optimism, but even he was millions
above the fact.
America is great country and in good
hands.

Don't Want to Walk.
EDITOR CHRONICLE:

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
A resident who walks and pays taxes
too, but cannot afford a carriage and
driver now that the trolley road is
knocking at our doors to come in, would
like to know why a few such lucky per.
sons as can ride should require the large
majority to walk. Also, what would
Morristown have been to-day had not
even the Morris and Essex road been
built here. Years ago Hanover, a quiet
little village, had the first church, and
did the business of these parts. From it
grew the First Church of Morristown,
What would Morristown have been to-
day had the above railroad been built to
Hanover, and would Hanover residents
now go to sleep nights with their
chicken roosts unlocked safe in thought
that no stranger will enter their gates I
We are sure that were it thus the grass
would to-day be growing in the streets
of Morristown and the COW bells would
be heard upon the green. But to-day
the city with Morris Plains has fully II :
900 people; 1900 of whom can and do
ride While the other 10000 must walk,
And why9 Because few wealthy resi-
dents have said that no trolley should
come here.
Many schemes have been on foot to
build a road of this kind. The great
majority of the people demand it and if
built, the homes on the streets along the
line will be more sought after, always
rented If for rent, quickly sold If for
sale, and at higher prices. Such is the
fact everywhere else where trolleys have
gone. Besides the population will in
crease more rapidly,
The Morris County Traction Company
has been organized with responsible men
who are abundantly able to push 1t to
completion at once although those who
wish some of the company stock | dare
say can get it. Let every one in this
community uphold the trolley plan and
1t will soon be success--the town will
wake up and carpenters, masons, and
other mechanics and business men see a
boom set in here that will double and
treble business, make every one happy
and life worth living land not compel SC
many to walk. Nj. x.

OBITUARY.
MARION AMBROSE

A sad death occurred at an early hour
Wednesday morning when Miss Marion
Ambrose, daughter of j. Harry Am
brose died suddenly of hemorrhage.
The shock was a severe one to all who
knew Miss Ambrose, coming as the blow
did so unexpectedly. She had not COM
planned of any illness until few minutes
before she died. Her throat seemed
stopped and she was advised to cough.
She did as she was told and in less than
ten minutes had breathed her last.
Not only is Miss Ambrose mourned by
family and relatives but the announce
ment of her death brought sadness to the
hearts of a wide circle of friends. She
was possessed of a disposition which for
cheerfulness and kindliness was so wholly
part of her nature as to be truly remark
able. 1t was this characteristic that
won for her host of friends.
Miss Ambrose was 81 years old and
besides being an active member of st.
Peters Church was also connected with
ST. Agnes Guild. She was member of
Miss Halls Bible Glass.
The funeral will occur at $50 this
afternoon from her late home on Will
low street, and the pallbearers will be
six uncles of the deceased. lnterment
will be at Evergreen Cemetery.

THE President has been in consultation
with Gen. Merritt in reference to the
Philippines situation and this is said to
be the conclusion reached; The United
States should receive the absolute sur
render of all rebels In the Philippine
Islands within As days after the opening
of the fall compaign. The officers now
in command in the Philippines should
be reassigned for that event. General
Wheeler must be put at the head Of a
brigade or in command of as large body
of cavalry as can be raised in the Phil
ippine Islands.

COLONIAL DAYS.

Some time ago an interesting discov-
cry was made in the State Library of a
record of claims, presented by residents
of Morris county, for losses sustained by
the Continental army. All patriotic
Americans are interested In everything
connected with the Revolution, and as
the CHRONICLE has had most to do with
this find, it determined that its readers
should have the benefit of the discovery
The old, musty papers has been deci-
phered with some difficulty, but they
have fully repaid for all the labor be-
slowed. They are the records of more
than hundred years ago. Apart from
their historic value, they are instructive
as giving glimpses of the mode of life of
those who preceded us by many gene
rations in the march of life; they afford
ideas of the values of articles used in
every day life. The names of those who
are now with us enjoying our respect
and confidence, will be found here, and
among them will be recognized some
who are remembered with respect and
generation.
Below will be found continuation of
the records, and other extracts will ap-
pear weekly until the whole is completed
