THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

The State Sewerage Commission
created by the last Legislature has
filed it's report with the Governor.
The commission discusses at great
:, length the necessity of doing some
&hing for the publication of the Pas
sale River, but makes no specific re-
eonRmendation because the commits
stony was without funds to engage
engineering experts. Several plans
are suggested as feasible and these
are referred to the Legislature for
consideration.
The commission declares that the
Passaie River problem is the greatest
one with which it has to deal. Speak
ing Of the causes, it says it is an error
to suppose that this is entirely due to
communities above tide water, as the
lower river towns such as Newark,
Montclair, etc, are declared equally
guilty, the sewage being backed up
by the incoming tides in constantly
increasing volume
Two plans OF sewage disposal are
recommended as feasible in the
opinion of the commission. The first
is trunk sewer to Newark Bay; the
second is the dividing of the Passaic
valley into districts, and the sewage
of each district to be carried to GER
tain place and treated. The com
mission also advised that its power
be enlarged, so as to give it super
vising control of the water supplies
of the State.
The conclusion of the commission
is that remedial action has now be-
come imperative, and it recommends
that the Legislature act in the matter
without delay.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 5, 1900.
FOR LEGISLATIVE NEWS.

The approaching session of the
Legislature will be an important one.
Measures are to be considered in
which the residents of this city and
of Morris County are personally in
terested, among which are the codifi-
cation of the school laws, the Morris
Canal franchise, the pollution of the
Passaic, appropriations for State In
situations, change of laws pertaining
to counties and towns, the abolition
Of grade crossings, and County Com
missioners to supersede Freeholders.
The Chronicle has arranged for
weekly letters to be written by one of
the most experienced, best informed
and accurate correspondents at the
CAPITOL. It will be mailed prepaid dur
ing the entire session for fifty cents.

TO "a O'CLOCK.

Beginning on Monday all the official
clocks in France are to mark the
hours from / to "a, starting at mid
night; and the old system of 1 to IL
a. m. and | to IL p. m. is to be aban-
doned. If the new method were
adopted in Morristown, bank would
open at 8 o. clock and close at is O'Clock.
On election day the polls would open at
8 O'Clock and close at 10 O'Clock
Various Continental railways have
used this plan for some time, and it
is said that the people have readily
accustomed themselves to it, Whether
it will become popular in France re-
mains to be seen. The probability is
that the weight of official authority
will procure for it general acquie-
scence. This country and England
would resist the change, not in a
spirit of hostility, but because the
people naturally cling to long estab-
lished customs. For example the ad-
vantages of the metric system are
universally acknowledged, but among
English speaking people it is merely
tolerated as a theory and makes little
or no Roadway in practice. And SC
the habitual method of stating the
time of day is likely to persist for q
good many years yet.

MsKINLEY'S ADMINISTRATION.

"A Washington dispatch speaks of
the remarkable rate at which money
continues to accumulate in the ma
tional treasury. The purchase of
bonds, the advance payments of in
terest and the deposit of funds in
banks have not prevented an increase
of about $1S, 600, 600 in cash for the
month, the nominal BALANCED now
standing at something over 1897, 900,
600 The December surplus of re-
oeipts over expenditures is apparently
over W, 600, 600, and it would be near
ly $l1, 900, 600 if interest due in Janu-
AIRY had not been paid last month.
Treasury officials are estimating that
the surplus for the fiscal year, ending
on the 30th Of next June, will be close
to $50, 600, 600 This reflects an enor-
nous volume of general business and
is an unerring sign of prosperity.
Furthermore the government is in a
most gratifying financial condition
when its accumulation of cash is so
largely in excess of its current obliga-
tons The figures tell striking
story of wise legislation and efficient
administration.

BANNERS RECENT STUDY.

The Banner has been considerably
led astray by the mild weather which
prevailed until few days ago, In
stead of their usual Christmas supple
ment they got out regular first of
August Coney Island number.
We hardly think, however, that the
scant attire or the want of it would
pass muster even at Coney, while
Founder Bradley would undoubtedly
arrest the slave, the statues and prob
ably the editor Of the Banner as we'll,
if such an exhibition took place in
his moral resort. We understand that
the sudden fall in temperature on Sat
urday made it necessary to send the
Banner supplements to the Post Office
in a closed carriage. We are just
afraid that pneumonia will develop.

LAcKAWANNA OUTLOOK.

The editor of the Railway News
recently interviewed the presidents
of the New York Central, the Norfolk
g Western, the "Big Four and
Chesapeake & Ohio, the Lackawanna,
the Wabash, the Ontario & Western,
and the Lehigh Valley, as to what
their roads had done during the year
and also as to the outlook.
All agreed that the prospects for
heavy tonnage are exceedingly bright,
that better rates and better revenue
will prevail during the coming year,
and that present commercial activity
will remain for some time to come
President Trnesdale of the Lacka-
wanna said:
The business of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad
Company during the past year has
been unprecedented in volume, and
the results, both in gross and net
earnings, cannot be otherwise than
highly satisfactory to the owners of
the property.
"The year just closing has been a
far more prosperous year for the
company that / represent than the
year 1893.
"The Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Railroad Company has ex-
pended between $4o0, 600 and $500, 600
during the year 1899 for new equip
ment, and it will probably expend
from 81, 600, 900 to 81, 200, 600 ON same
account during the year 1900.
"We expect a substantial increase
in our BUSINESS and earnings during
the coming year. This increase will
me from all sources, local develop
ment through business and the in
creased demand for anthracite coal.
We do not expect net earnings for the
year 1900 will increase materially
over those of the current year as the
result of the proposed advance in
rates on various commodities.
Prospects for rate maintenance
during the coming year seem fairly
good, in the light of existing condi-
lions. With the larger traffic being
handled, and with the outlook for it's
continuance indefinitely, there should
be no incentive to any rate cutting.
There ought not to have been any OF
it during the past year, and yet,
strange to say, some of the large car
riers, with all and more tonnage than
they can promptly and properly
handle have, it is well known, done
more or less rate cutting. 1t would
seem difficult for them to justify such
a policy to their owners, but they
have pursued it'll further than there
was any good reason for so doing.
Providing Congress passes cur
rency law, which shall be satisfactory
to the enlightened business interests
of the country, and shall make salts
factory provision therein, as to our
currency and obligations, private and
public, being on gold basis, and
furthermore, our people do
not launch out on an era of wild
speculation, whichs hall unduly initiate
values and place many important ar
ticles of commerce on a fictitious
basis of value, see no good reason
why the present prosperity which the
country is enjoying should not CON
tinue indefinitely. 39sgss ; -.

Some idea of the immensely of our
railway systems can be given from
the statement that the total mileage
in the United States is about 1856. 600
miles or over 1000 miles more than
that Of the whole Of Europe. Over a
million freight cars are in operation
in this country, while the combined
number in use in Great Britain,
France and Germany fall far short OF
that figure. In a single year we car
ry more than billion tons of freight
or more than the total tonnage of all
the railroads in Eupope.

though Italy was the last of the powers
addressed to return an answer to Secre-
tary Hays overtures that government
really was more prompt than amy other
in the negotiations This is explained by
the fact that the Italian government was
addressed on the subject some time after
the other continental nations had it under
consideration owing to the fact that our

new YEAR 5 At CAPITOL.
Continued from First Page.

Neither house was ready to take up
any business of importance, and con
sequently the sessions were short. In
the Senate Senator Pettigrew, of South
Dakota tried to get up a resolution
inquiring into the beginning of the
revolt of the Filipinos last year, but
objection to it's immediate considera-
ton was made and it went over un-
der the rules. Senator Hoar, who is
regarded as the leader of the anti
imperialists, showed considerable ir-
ritation at this action. Mr.. Hoar has
been in the Senate nearly twenty
three years and during that time has
probably been in state of irritation
oftener than any other member.
While man of ability, his temper is
petulant and he constantly airs his
vexations for the benefit of his fellow
Senators and the galleries.
