A GRAVE QUESTION.

The proper disposal of the sewage
of Morristown, while not a pleasant
subject for contemplation, is today
the most serious problem that the res
idents of this city have before them.
A well-known authority on SANTA
ton remarks concerning the antiquat-
ed cess pool system, "that stored filth
is menace to health. and that place
does we'll for itself that by aid of
water or any other force available re-
moves excrementitious filth from
within its own borders so rapidly that
there is no time for putrefaction to
take place or for the germs of disease
to develop in the stagnant waste -
Motion is life, quiescence is death -
The "Chronicle" has in the past
advocated an intelligent discussion of
this question believing that when the
present condition of affairs is fully
understood, steps will be taken to
remedy the evil without that delay
which may prove in many ways very
costly for Morristown.

A MEMORIAL FOR HOBART.

1t would be very appropriate and
graceful action, if the Legislature on
the day that it holds the Hobart me-
mortal joint meeting would provide
for permanent memorial There is
no doubt but that every citizen in
New Jersey appreciates the public
services of the late Vice President and
would be willing for an expenditure
of money for the purchase of some
permanent memorial to be placed in
the rotunda of the State House. 1t
is not necessary to say at this time
just what that memorial should be.
1t might be handsome metal tablet,
memorial window, bust or por
trait.
In the past when New Jersey has
chosen to honor any of her distin-
guished sons, she has appropriated
funds for portrait. This was done
in the case of State Geologist Cook
and the late Chief Justice Beasley,
although the family of the latter pre-
sented a portrait of the distinguished
jurist.
New Jersey has for several years
been kept busy hanging in the rotunda,
the portraits of her celebrities who
have departed. There is excellent
company for a handsome portrait Of
the dead Vice-P President and it would
be loving tribute for this State to
provide it.
New Jersey spent 90, 600 ON sword
to honor naval hero, who was but "a
temporary resident; it could afford to
spend a handsome sum to memorable
a man who brought honor and fame
to the State and who will go down
in history as the greatest of all Jer-
seymen.
The proper thing to do at the
close of the memorial joint session
will be to have a joint resolution
providing some permanent memorial.
Just what, is left open for future dis
cusSiOn

FEEDING BEGGARs.

Nobody likes to turn hungry man
away without giving him something.
The professional tramp and the sneak
thief know this, and take full adj
vantage of it. While they are getting
something to eat they carefully OBJ
serve the arrangements of the house,
ways of admission ETC., ETC., The
next time they come they will most
likely profit by the knowledge acquir-
ed and sneak into the house to carry
off food, overcoats or silver, which
ever is most handy.
Recent cases on Madison avenue
and South street prove the truth of
these remarks, and we have been re-
quested by a prominent citizen to warn
the public against the danger of en-
couraging tramps and to call attention
to the fact that any homeless man
who is willing to earn temporary re-
lief has AN opportunity to do so at
the Market Street Mission. 1t may not
be out of place to mention that tickets
referring applicants to the mission
for inquiry and temporary relief may
be obtained from the superintendent
at the rate of ten for dollar.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL PROBLEM.

The New Jersey Sewage Commission
has not up to this time been able to
determine which of the numerous sys-
TENS for sewage disposal that have
been tried, is the best, and it has said
that experiments and changes are still
going on all over the world. An IL
lustration of this fact, already we'll
known to all students of the subject,
is found in special report just is
sued by the Sewerage Commission of
Connecticut. That Commission APP
proves the method of cleansing sewage
by intermittent downward filtration
through sand beds, as the best general
solution of the question for larger
towns and cities. But it says
Unfortunately some of our towns
and cities cannot get, near at hand,
enough suitable land or proper mater
ial for building the necessary sand
beds; and to carry the sewage to a
place where these things can be got
involves such heavy expense as to be
extremely burdensome, if not quite
prohibitory.
For the latter class of cases, which
is one in which Paterson may be num-
bered, the Connecticut Commission
strongly urges artificial beds Of crush
ed stone, coke or cinders, by the use
of which very much larger quantities
of sewage may be handled per day and
acre than have thus far been treated
by the sand filtration process, and
yielding an etfiuent free from all sus-
pended matters. AS indicated by ex-
periments in England, the method sug-
gested is pronounced to be better and
less expensive than the chemical pre-
cipitation method. Paterson Press.

POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW.

The showing of poultry, pigeon and
pet stock, which the New FORK Poul-
try & Pigeon Association gives at
Madison Square Garden, is an attrac-
ton which interests everybody. The
best birds in the world compete for
prizes, and every breed is represented.
From the entries made with Secretary
Crawford, this years show will fill
every inch of the big garden, with
platforms built over the boxes around
the arena, in order to accommodate
the pigeons and the exhibition yards.
There will be thousands of birds, a full
department for pet stock, with rab-
bits and CAVES, and the addition of
the New York Cat Show will bring
some of the finest and most valuable
cats into public view. By special re-
quest, the show will be open from
a. m. until 10. 30 p. M, beginning on
Tuesday, January 30th, and closing on
Saturday night, February Sd. Adj
mission will be half dollar, and
children half-price, a concession i'm
portant to the youngsters who never
tire of the show, and look for it every
year.

SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

The Legislature should have par
ticular care this session not to slip
up on so much important legislation.
There can be charged to the last SEES
sion a number of sins of omission that
really worked hardships and hampered
several institutions. The Epileptic
Colony was one of the victims of the
over confidence of the legislators
A bill was passed creating the COM
mission, defining its power and in
every way preparing for the establish
ment of this muchly needed benevo-
lent institution. The Legislature adj
journed without furnishing any
money for the development of the
scheme and as result the work of
expanding the colony has been de
layed for year. The Governor has
called attention to the oversight and
urges generous appropriation this
year.
What is wanted is some good sound
advice for more thoroughness of
work ON the part of the legislators
and this would be secured if all the
work of the session was not crowded
into about four days at the end of the
session.

beauty are the points aimed at and

facture and value. The display will

bile is crowding out the horse; it has
come to stay, in city and country. In
this department there will be a COM
plete showing, better than ever New
York has seen, with attentive and

A WORTHY SON OF NEW JERSEY

In Attorney General Griggs, New
Jersey has son in every way worthy
of the honor. And his nomination
would probably be all the more favor
ably received by reason of the fact
that the relations, personal and politi-
cal, that existed between him and the
late Mr.. Hobart were exceedingly
warm and confidential. 1t is probably
not too much to say that had Mr..
Hobart signifed a wish rs to his sue
cessor he would have named Mr..
Griggs. Washington, D. Q. Star.
