would not dc when he becomes a member
~ thes senate. He promised in somewhat
| equivocal language to support all the So
called popular measures as against the
| corporations. but i'll concealed in each
promise vas a loophole sufficiently large
for him to crawl out through it, when
| the time came.
For example, he loudly promised to vote
| for no measure that would enable a street
/ railroad ITO make use of any street or ave-
nue. In Essex county without first obtain
ing the consent of the municipality ano
that of the owners of a majority OF lineai
feet of frontage on the proposed street or
avenue. In a voice almost loud enough 10

Mr.. McCarter declared that he would not
vote for any bill hat would enable me
Morris Canal and Banking Company, or
its lessees. to abandon the canal n con-
vert ii to other purposes. But then
dropning his voice almost to a whisper
he added, unless the company made fair
compensation to the State and all persons
having reversionary rights in the prem
ises.a
To those who remember young Mr.. Nc
Carter and his breezy methods as a loppy-
fst at Trenton, all this appears rather IN
teresting reading. Up to within a snort
time. MI. McCarter was one of the coun-
sci for the Lehigh Valley Railroad COM
pany. the present owners, under a ninety
nine year lease, OF the Morris canai.
Counsel is a sort of respectable name
under which the modern lobbyist hides his
objectionable methods. Not only did Mr..
McCarter appear at Trenton as counsel
for several of the most offensive corpora
lions that ever attempted to steal the
peoples rights by means OF the Legis-
lature, he wa also on han early and
late ana worked i~ndefatigably to secure
the passage of these obnoxious measures.
him SO earnest and p~ronouncedly in favor
of the people and their rights, and those
who are acquainted with the young gentle
ind themselves asking: Can the
leopard change his srots?
There should be no difficulty in beating
Mr.. Mccarter. In a newspaper reading
city like Newark or Orange, his record
should be well known. and it ought to be
enough to defeat him without effort on the
part of the Democracy.

MUSICAL MATTERS.
Lafayette Oratorio Society 20 Reor-
eanize for the season.

The Lafayette Oratorio Society OF Jer-
sey city will hold a preliminary business
meeting tomorrow evening in the lower
part Of the Methodist Church on Pacific
avenue. the meeting will be for the re-
organization of the society for the season
az 1S9g-1900 and the enrolment OF mem-
bers.
The officers look forward TO giving two
concerts this season, under the
ship of Mr.. M9ritz /. Schwarz at the
first OF which the Oratorio of 'Christus, !"
by Mendeissohn, and the new Mass IN
FL by M. e. Schwarz, will be rendered.
and Ii the outlook for a large body of
singers proves good, the Elijah may
Be performed at the second concert.
The officers and members are very anx-
ious that any impression to the effect
that this society is q church AFFAIR, may
be obiiterated from the minds Of the peo-
pIe Of this city. for such is not the case.
This organization was founded for the
sake of the work which * Performs, and
not as an adjunct to any particular
It was only through the kindness OF the
Methodist Church people hat the society
was enabled to make use OF this church
for its ~rehearsals and public perform
ances, and it is named .Lafayettess by.
courtesy. because 1t was founded and
iupneid mainly by the music loving and
public spirited people OF that section of
our city. But its proper rank Is the Ora
.torfo Society of Jersey City; al the
~isIIandeIp and Haydn Is OF Boston, and
tie New York Oratorio's Is OF New York.
and as such it deserves and ought to be,
encouraged By our people.

Oh, Most Lame aid Impotent Con-
cIusioM!

The Expected boon, Of the Republican
party Ito be derived from the surplus an
the State treasury has developed into a
most amazing fzzle. The surplus Is SO
small as to. take away the breath OF all
those who are familiar with the finances
Of the State. Indeed the situation Is so
chIly that Comptroller Hancock in re-
porting the figures to Governor voorhees,
has not had the heart to express con-
ordinations upon the result, as he has
madeat a practice to do, for several years
paAt
The plain fact is that nothing has saved
the State from bankruptcy this year save
ana except the unprecedented and totally
abnormal formation of new companies,
which has been the feature of the new ex-
pfring financial boom. The Incorporation
OF these combinations Of capital, under the
laws of Sew Jersey. has brought the State
the enormous sum Of s7ss 900 in fees within
the twelve months expiring yesterday. AS
the normal amount of revenue from this
source Is about slO0oo0-it was $4,000 in
1sss. the then highest hgure-it becomes
apparent that s60.Ooo of the last years in
come was absolutely accidental and
UNIQUE. ana cannot be expected or relied
upon In any average calculation of the
states resources.
~ - .E ~
Now let us see where this leaves the
Republican party and the surplus, upon
which IL has based SO much Boosting and
~vainglory for the past month.
The surplus has been about a million
dollars since the year lsse, when Leon
Albeit completed his second term as
Governor. He left that credit balance as
q legacy OF his administration to the
state. The exact fgure at the close of
the last fscaa year. that is to say on oc-
toner 81, 1893, was sl.oo1s524.45.
The surplus reported by Comptroller
HANCOCK yesterday was s1:25s.158
me increase therefore is just s25l .s28.55.
SET against this the accidental Increase
Of revenue, due to Incorporation fees, of
aDouf ss5o. 800.
what has become Of the other s4Oo,0oo7
Here Is something for the Republican
party to explain.
s1sat not plain that butzfor this abnormal
and accidental increase Of revenue there
would have been a deficit In the States
Bafance sheet. this year. of at least
$4,000?
what must have been the excess OF ex-
trayAgahce IN the Republican administra-
tion which thus consumed the entire nor
NAL or average income of the State and
10000 to boot? And what is to become
81 the state when the income returns to
us old figures. as # is likely to do in the
fiscal year now opening. If the Republican
party continues in power, and stiil sd1an-
ders money with the same lavish hand?

which the Tribune and News have been
INDUCING.
Cur evening contemporary pleads
that the religious denomination TO
which it belongs has been assailed, and
that, as the organ thereof, it was duty
bound to defend the church. The fact
is that the News has overdone its de-
Tense just as the Tribune has pushed
it's assaults too far. People are sick
of the eternal row. One organ provokes
the other. there are examinations and
determinations, and all creation is
attracted by the racket and
the state suffers in consequence.
While our morning contempora-
ry is unfair and malicious 'in
it's treatment of the Mormon people.
our evening contemporary is entirely
too bellicose and petulant- The least lit
tie thing arouses its ire and an innocent
remark viii often provoke a column of
abSurdly serious resentment. And
when the EDITORS began to regale the
public with each others private affairs.
it was plain to be seen that neither rep
resented any cause or principle SO
much as personal grudges and long
cherished hatreds.
Surely the public has had enough of
this childish business.
@ @ 9
After all, what does the Tribune ex-
pect to accomplish by its attacks upon
. Of ste "a
cannot hasten any reform in which it
pretends to be interested. Its whole
tendency is to injure the very cause it
claims to be working for. The more
it assails the people and holds them up
to scorn as law-breakers and pledge
breakers, the less they are inclined to
commune with those not of their faith.
The Tribune's whole aim and object
seems to be to drive the people together
again and undo all that they have ac-
complished for themselves in the last
ten years, to arouse their resentment,
to close their ears. to make them enc
mics where they are now friends, and
to injure them in the eyes of the world.
And, it may be that there are a few
leaders of the dominant church, anxious
to get absolute control of the masses,
who are secretly rejoicing at the aid
the Tribune is rendering them in this
particular.
But revolutions and reforms do not
move backwards. The support OF the
n-Mormons of the state is not behind
the Tribune. Neither is the sympathy
of the Mormon masses behind that
spirit which would invite the Tribune's
hostility for the purpose of causing
them to huddle together for self-protec-
ton.
The old fight is gone forever. It can
not be revived, except between our To-
cal contemporaries.
