RESULT IN MORRIS.

The result in Morris shows that
even with light vote the county is sol
idly Republican. The good times and
the excellent condition of the State
Treasury, are in themselves sufficient
reasons for this fact. In addition the
loyal patriotism of our people makes
them desire to express their admira-
tion of the policy of the National Adj
ministration.
Though the vote was light the fight
for the office of sheriff went on brisk
ly from the opening to the closing of
the polls. AS was expected the Re-
publican candidate was heavily cut
in Madison through the influence of a
disgruntled politician. 1t was natural
that the same should occur to some
extent in Boonton, the home of Mr..
Porter, the Democratic candidate.
But Mr.. Porter's popularity will not
account for all that took place there.
Those responsible for it may have to
account for it some time. The same
remark applies to the Second District
of Pequannock.
The handsome way in which the
former Democratic majority in Wash
ington township was turned into a
heavy Republican majority is a high
compliment to Messrs. Baker and
Welsh who live in that neighborhood.
Undoubtedly the majority was all the
larger on account Of the abuse poured
upon Mr.. Baker by people who either
did not know him or else were de-
liberate liars.

FREEHOLDERS AND THE NEW
ALMSHOUSE.

The remarks of Freebooter Carter
at the last meeting of the Board of
Freeholders with reference to the
building of the new almshouse were
sensible and well-timed. While we
would be the very last to suggest any
curtailment of expense that would
render the building less suitable for
the purpose for which it is intended,
we think with Me-. Carter, sit showed
poor business ability on the part of
the twenty-five men when they can t
keep within sum allotted for a
specific purpose and declared at the
time to be ample.

Ex-Speaker Reeds successor as
representative in Congress from the
First Maine district was chosen on
Monday by nearly 5000 majority, He
is Republican, of course. The size
of the majority at special election
indicates the interest the people feel
in the matter of sustaining the ad-
ministration.

And now it is stated on good
authority that an enterprising Ameri
can company has leased San Jaun Hill,
near Santiago, and will transform the
battle ground into popular resort.
The trenches where Americans and
Spaniards struggled and suffered and
died will be left intact. In future
years after Cuba is regenerated and
her plague spots have been purified,
large numbers of Americans will visit
the island and San Juan will be one
of the great sights.

Bishop Wigger has been made the
recipient of an extraordinary honor
by being chosen by the Vatican to say
mass at the birthplace of Christ in
Bethlehem Christmas mornings and
it is reported that Bishop Wigger is
the first person other than a member
of the Franciscan Order of Monks
upon whom this honor has been con-
ferred. He will be assisted by Rev.
Father Carroll, of this city, and such
a distinction should be a matter of
pride to the citizens of New Jersey
regardless of their religious convic-
tions. Jersey City Journal.

At the recent session of the New
Jersey Baptists in Newark, the com
mittee on resolutions presented the
following which was unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved. That, deploring the in
crease of divorce and recognizing the
family life as the foundation of our
social order, we urge the ministers
connected with this convention to
have no part in the re-marriage of
divorced persons except those who
may be such on Scriptural grounds. y
Commenting ON this the Jersey City
Journal says
This declaration following closely
upon Bishop Potter's recent address,
may be accepted as an indication that
the churches are gradually coming to
the conclusion that the divorce mills
have been operating entirely too freely
and that halt must be called.

Summit has employed additional
counsel to assist in defending the
suit recently brought by the city of
Paterson, in which the former city is
accused of having violated the law
by polluting the Passaic river with
sewerage. The officials of Summit
consider the suit to be the outcome of
malice and in support of this they
claim that Paterson is doing more to
pollute the waters of the Passaic than
are any three other places along that
river.

The recent statement, seemingly
well authenticated, that number of
companies doing a local telephone
business had consolidated, leads the
Newark Advertiser to remark:
The new telephone consolidation is
kind of combination that is popular.
Its object is to form national or
ganization of all the local independent
telephone companies to compete with
the Bell Telephone monopoly. There
are big financiers back of the project,
and as the public is promised much
lower telephone rates, it will have
the tremendous advantage of popular
support in making connection and
establishing trunk lines. The new
telephone consolidation is very likely
a scheme to pinch the Bell Company
and make it buckle to the millionaire
gamblers who own great street rail-
ways, gas companies and the like.
