A NOBLE RECORD.

In these days of peace, after short
and brilliant war, the glory of our vic
tory is being dimmed and our respect
for many of those in high rank in the
army is being lessened by their petty
iealousies and recriminations.
The public cannot help feeling that
those thus engaged are more soicitous
for their own personal fame than for the
welfare of their country.
1t is very refreshing at such time to
look over the record of that brave man
who was this week borne from Morris.
town to his last resting place in a New
England cemetery.
In May, 1895, at banquet of the
Loyal Legion. Commandery of New
York, given in honor of General Greene's
nety. fifth birthday, General Henry w.
Socum said:
Gle leral George S Greene graduated
from the Military Academy at West
Point four years before l was born, and
during the civil war | commanded a
corps in which General Greene com
manded a brigade, and no one ever
heard General Greene grumble. He
was thorough military man and one
of the best officers we ever had in the
army.
General Greene's fellow officers uni
formly testified to his GOODNESS. bravery,
modesty and generosity of spirit. Such
q record is one of which not only his
family and his friends, but the whole
nation, may be proud.
Such character the officers of our
army may we'll seek to emulate.

Gomez Has Given In.

Havana, Feb. 3.-The Cuban army
problem seems to be solved at last.
General Gomez has been won over to
the Administrations policy, and his ac-
ton will have a paramount influence
on the other officers of the insurgent
forces.
AS a result of the conference which
Robert p. Porter, the special commits
sioner of President Mckinley, has had
with General Gomez at Remedies, the
latter has cabled to President McKin-
ley assuring him of cooperation in dis
banding the Cuban army and in dis
tributing among the Cuban soldiers the
100000 appropriated to enable them to
return to their homes.
General Gomez also telegraphed to
Major General Brooke saying he would
accept the latter's invitation to go to
Havana.
Immediately after cabling to Presi-
dent Mckinley. General Gomez address
ed the following letter to Mr.. Porter:
Your visit has enlightened our path
and what we have spoken encourages
me to go to Havana, 50 that by confer
ring with General Brooke / may aid in
directing the unsettled affairs of this
country. Be kind enough to say to
Pesident Mckinley that I am grateful
for his kind regards.

note what the Times of Philadelphia
says concerning the boom in shipbuild-
ing:
A feature Of the new year is the re-
vival of shipbuilding interest throughout
the country, and fully thirty per cent. of
the merchant tonnage now uuder con-
struction in the United States will be
the product of shipyards within dis
lance of twenty five miles of the Phila-
delphia City Hall. This is exclusive of
warships. If the naval vessels now con-
tracted for and on which work has been
commenced, be taken into consideration,
the proportion of tonnage having its
birth on the Delaware would be still
further increased. A significant feature
in the list of 1866 merchant ships under
construction is that but fourteen, ex-
elusive of yachts, are sailing vessels.
There is not single craft of this de-
scription on the ways in any of the seven
shIpyards in which Philadelphia is in
terested, steam being the motive power to
be employed.

JOSEPH ALEXANDER.

A remarkable life was ended on Mon
day, when Joseph Alexander, who was
we'll known in Morris county, died at the
residence of his son-in-law, Ira G. Kill
burn in Orange. Mr.. Alexander had
reached the ripe old age of 95, and until
December last enjoyed good health and
spirits. About the middle of that month
he had paryletic stroke, and although
he seemed to recover, second attack on
Friday last proved fatal.
Mr.. Alexander lived at Morris Plains
for nearly eighteen years after 1874,
during which period he was engaged in
the manufacture of paper. This he car
ried on quite extensively for those
days, and was thus brought into
ultimate relations with Cyrus w. Field
of Atlantic cable fame.
Mr.. Alexander was born in the town
ship of Newburg, Orange county, N. Y,
and resided in that vicinity until 1929.
During that time he numbered among
his most valued acquaintance members
of the historic Clinton family which
gave to the State its first Senator and fol-
ten years one of its best governors. He re-
membered distinctly the general celebra-
ton and rejoicing on the uniting of the
waters of Lake Erie and the Hudson
River, when the first boat. the "Senecs
Chief" with Governor Dewitt Clinton
on board, had passed through the Erie
Canal from lake to river. He was also q
neighbor for years of Uzal Knapp, the
last of Washlngton's Life Guards, who
lived to be 81 years old.
The war of 1912 was among Mr.. Alex
ander's many recollections His father
was an ensign IN company of volunteers
which entered the service. The father
died at the age of 80, at which time

earlier years of his life, and the first in

Miles to he Relieved.

New York, Feb. 3.-The rumors of a
probable action against General Miles
printed in yesterdays papers are borne
out by the following story which the
Washington correspondent of The Press
has sent to his paper this morning;
Major General Merritt Is to succeed
Major General Miles as major general
commanding the army. The orders re-
lieving Miles of command have not been
signed by the president They may not
be signed for several days.
lin accordance with his custom, the
president will lay the matter before the
members of the cabinet before taking
any action. With few exceptions, under
this administration. the rule has been
to submit important steps to the cabinet
before they are taken. The president

CONCERNING ELIZABETH.

Now that Elizabeth can boast OF a
Governor and United States Senator
within its Confines, it can afford to make
faces at its naughty big neighror and
swell itself clear across the meadows to
the Hackensack river and Newark bay.
The future of "Betsytown" is unlimited.
Cam len telegram.
Which leads Mr.. Mcbride, the genial
and accomplished editor of the Elizabeth
journal, to rise and remark"
Elizabeth is not pulled up, is not
naughty, does not make faces and in no
way despises other places that are not so
rlch IN distinguished statesmen HIS she is.
Eliz tbeth Is properly sensible of the hon
ors conferred upon her by her eminent
sons. and by the appreciation which the
rest OF New Jersey has mamie sted toward
them; out Elizabeth has reached years Of
discretion aud dignity, and is not made
uu6uly proud by honorable distinction.
From the time New Jersey began to nave
a history E,zabeTh has been prominent
in making that history, and some of the
most eminent of New Jerseys soldiers,
sailors jurists and statesmen, in the past
as in the present, are products of Eliz-
abeth's sturdy citizenship.
There is just one thing more that Eliz-
abeth was justly entitled to in this year
OF grace, and that Was the appointment
OF Editor Mcbride as the private secre-
tary of Governor Voorhees,. 1t was with
genuine regret that the newspaper men
at Trenton and elsewhere throughout the
State, as well as hosts of others, learned
that the appointment would remain &C.

THE Jersey City Journal quotes the
following from the SUSSEX Register:
The tributes paid to the worth and
efficiency of ex-Congressman Pltney by
the Democratic press OF the Fourth Dis
trict exceed anything that we have ever
read in the history of the district. We
have lived to see some seventeen
members of Congress retire after
serving one, two ana three terms each,
but none previous to the retirement of
MIR. Pitney ever received such warm
words of praise from political opponents.
This fact must be gratifying indeed to
Mr.. Pitney, and the generous notices
will doubtless be preserved as remem-
ORANGES of duty so well done as to bring
praise from friend and foe.
