Senator Hanna proposes to build
up American commerce by the use
of subsidies drawn from the public
treasury. Representative Handy Of
Delaware proposes to accomplish
the same end by giving American
citizens the right to buy ships for
the foreign carrying trade wherever
they can get them cheapest. The
Hanna plan would tax the many for
the benefit of the few; the Handy
plan would treat all alike and would
enable the country to profit by the
right working of economic laws,
which, if permitted to have free
play, would give Americn ship
more work than they could
ever get from subsidies. -Philadel-

The Washington Post of Saturday
last contains the following:
.'Senator Caffery's constitutional
argument yesterday was listened to
al one time by six Senator'S. One
of these was Mr.. Spooner of Wis
consin. Senator Caffery read an
extract in the course of his remarks
which attracted Mr.. Spooner's at
tention. Perhaps it had familiar
sound. AT any rate he began to
manifest some curiosity. "From
what is the Senator reading?" he
asked Mr.. Caffery. The Louisiana
Senator turned around with a sur
prised, not to say, an injured air.

This country has produced no
more remarkable character than
Andrew Jackson, the first of oar
presidents who came from the loins
of the people. He was Democrat
in every sense of the word. He
had confidence in the people and
the people believed in him and
trusted him, and he never betrayed
their trust. Charles ]. Ingersoll
says of him: .'He was combina-
ton of wisdom without learning,
passion with gentleness, luminosity
with benevolence, devotion with
destructivencss, homicide with
homily, seldom, if ever, seen in any
man. Nothing was wanting to his
amazing triumPhs but that Yelling

first intended, should h We headed

All theatre-goers who want to enjoy q

OF Music during the present week, when
Charles Frohman's splendid company of

merits OF players and play seem to be
almost universally known, and the demand
for seats for the remaining performance
Is exceptionally large. This is most par
tIcularly the case with the Saturday

breaker. Miss Robson's portrait of the

Wilbur A. Heisley, the Republican Pros
ecutor Of Monmouth County, announces
that he is to be appointed Law Judge OF
Monmouth County. to succeed Judge J.
Clarence Conover, whose term expires

fair name Of the State, that, in the
aanguage of the questionable East End
of Long Branch, Mr.. HeIsley is talking
through his hats
For almost three years, now, this re-
lentiess prosecutor of defenceless women
has been Prosecutor of Monmouth conn-
ty. and, during the entire time, no one
has heard Of any attempt upon his part
10 improve the moral condition Of Long
Branch. The three gambling houses at
Long Branch were wide open all last
mn seven days in the week, with
not the slightest pretense of secrecy or
any attampt to discriminate in the mat
Ter of their visitors. On the contrary,
every inducement was held out to every
one 10 come in and risk a dollar on the
t,,rn OF a card or the click Of the ball
IN the wooden bowl. And all the time
that this was going on, Mr.. Heisley was
In Europe, enjoying a vacation. 1t was
plainly his duty to have remained at
home and made some effort to bring these
arrogant law-breakers to Justice If Mr..
Hefslev. when he went to Europe, was
unaware OF the open prevalence Of crime
tn his baiMwfck, he was an incompetent
jackass; if he did know about 1t. ne was
! ~scoundrel and a skulking knave. He
can take his choice. In either case, ne
Is not the man to be made Judge OF
Monmouth County, although it may be
true that "a certain element in Long
branch so earnestly desires his nomina-
ton.
II his course as Prosecutor can be
taken as a criterion, Mr.. Heisley Is a
positively dangerous man to place upon
The bench. There is no reason why Gov
ernor voorhees, should appoint him
There are plenty of better lawyers and
better Republicans in Monmouth for the
Governor to choose from, and plenty OF
men who would honor the position.

Mr.. Woollsx and His Foes.

It is really too bad the way the dis
rruntled In the g.. o. p. make Mr.. Wooiley
their scapegoat. Here is Mr.. Johnny
Frwiu. who got beaten out of his boots
recently for Sheriff, because he is the most
unpopular man In the county, and here is
Mr.. Claus Basse, who was beaten because
he is not w~ell-known enough even to be
unpopular, and they are both jumping on
Mr.. Woolley with all their energy just as
n he alone was responsible for the dis
aster Of last November, instead Of only
contributing his share to it. Then there
is Mr.. Landrine, who did his share or
more than his share. and he also sticks
his knife good and deep into Mr.. Woolley's
side, regardless of the indisputable fact
that there are others.
It is very wrong. Mr.. Woolley is the
man of men for the post OF County Conn
snsttee Chairman. With one exception, he
Is the most characteristic Republican in
Hudson county. and therefore he has the
second best rlgnt 10 the place on hheh
moral grounds. Besides. Colonel Sam
Dickinson says he is the only Republican
in the county competent to serve as
chairman--a very doubtful compliment,
we should fhlnk-and this turns the scale
in his favor to the disadvantage of his
one possible competitor. He owns the
office by a doubie claim of fitness, so why
not let him have it with a good grace
If, however, the @. 0. P. committeemen
want variety. they can secure it-on easy
terms. and give the public a rare treat at
the same time. They can elect Mr.. Erwin.
II WIN be both Interesting and instructive
to see how he will run things.
