sit is worthy to note that the
Senate this year was above the
average in ability and worth. That
body has seldom contained ADLER and
more high principled men than John

Reed, on the Republican side and Nc
Dermott, Martin and VanCleef on
the Democratic. And these leaders

Churchill appears to be the only CORE
spondent who advocates dealing with the
so called rebels in a spirit of Cancellation.
The others all harp upon the great injus-
tice which will be done the loyal colonists
unless those who rebelled are harshly
dealt with, Some maintain that confisca-

death is the only punishment commensu-

being organized all over the colony to in

There seems to be some foundation for
the reports that many of the shafts on

have been mined and explosives placed
in position to blows up the property if it is

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

One of the most important laws
passed by the Legislature this year is
the revised school law which was pre-
pared by Commission appointed by
the Governor in 1898. A large num-
Der of the general statutes have been
revised by similar commissions but
in no other case has there been on the
part of the commission such desire
to secure suggestions from all parts
of the state. AS is we'll known, the
Commission made report to the
Legislature a year ago, which was
known as Senate, No. 1877, and
which caused considerable discussion
throughout the State. This was what
the Commission desired and was the
reason for its introduction just at the
end of the session. During the year
hearings were held in all parts of the
State, and the law just enacted is the
result.
The general school law which has
just been repealed was passed in 1874 ;
it has been amended so often that
lawyers and even the courts were un-
certain as to its exact provisions. For
some unaccountable reason the cities
were not governed by that law but
the schools in each city were governed
by provisions contained in the city
charters. Owing to the constitutional
prohibition of special legislation acts
for the government of schools in cities
were passed which were general in
form, but special in application. This
only tended to increase the confusion,
and i'll many cases the Acts passed
were clearly unconstitutional
The new law makes very few
changes in the law governing the rural
districts. Provision is made for dis
tricts uniting for the purpose of es-
tablishing graded schools. This will
enable many of our rural districts to
give the children the same school adj
vantages as those enjoyed by the
children i'll our cities and towns. The
compulsory education law is made
more definite, and there is now nc
reason why children cannot be com.
PEELED to attend school. Any board OF
education which in future permits
children to play truant will be dere
lict in its duty.
In future all the cities in the State
will be under the general law. The
present boards of education are con
tinued, but provision is made for {
board of education of ten members
either to be appointed by the mayor
or elected by the people. If at any
time city desires to change from it
present method of selecting the mem
bers of its board of education, it cal
vote either at municipal or genera
election to adopt one of the method
proposed in the law.
In many cities, boards Of education
have been dependent on the cit,
council for funds with which to rul
she schools, and they have often beef
seriously crippled because money
which should have been appropriate,
for the schools have been used TO
other city departments which ha
more political influence. The ney
law provides for board of school es
innate, composed Of the mayor, tw
members Of the board of education
and two members of the common

Here is food for thought for many
women of Morristown:
The Philadelphia Ledger says a
bacteriologist asked a woman who
did not usually have to go Oh very
dirty streets if he might make an ex-
pertinent on one of her skirts. 1t was
comparatively new one and received
daily brushing. He found on part OF
the skirt binding at the hem the fol-
lowing small menagerie Two hundred
thousand germs, many bearing diph-
liberia, pneumonia and tonsilitis; also
collections of typhoid and consump-
ton microbes.
And we have no doubt that just
such collection of microbes can be
found on the pavement sweeping
skirts of many women here, every
time they come in from walk down
town.

TROUBLE IN THE EAST.
Renewed Predictions of Japanese
Russian War.


Russian War.
London, March 30.-News that Russia
had demanded lease of land at Nassau
pho, that fine harbor on the south coast
of Korea, and that the Korean govern
ment was anxious for outside assistance
reached London last night and caused
considerable talk in the parliamentary
Hobbies and at the military clubs.
The rivalry between Russia and Japan
for this port has been in progress since
October.
Russia wished to obtain possession of
the harbor and convert it into a naval
station. but the scheme was opposed by
Japan.
1t is not believed here that Russia will
strive to gain her point by il sudden ap
peal to arms, while Japan, it is certain,
will not hasten hostilities save as very
last resort.
For the present at least the interests
of both Japan and Russia lie in maintain
ing peace.
Mr.. Joseph Walton. NJ p. who re-
Gently returned from tour in China,
Japan and Korea. interviewed on the re
port of Russia's demand, said: "A short
time ago l pointed out that from inter
views | had had with the Marquis Ito,
Count Okuma, Niscount Aoki and other
leading Japanese statesmen, | found that
Japan was determined to resist Russian
aggression in Korea. even at the cost of
war.
Japan looks upon Korea as very inn
portant for an outlet of her excess of
population. Masanpho is the best port
on the coast of Korea. Up till now Jap
anese influence has been predominant
there.
Russia and Japan are each on the
lookout for what they consider an OPP
perfume moment for enforcing the claim
of prior right, which each thinks it has
to Korea.

ALBANY. Jan. 24.-State Comptroller
William j. Morgan has been giving spe-
cial attention of late to the very large
amount of liquors consumed in the hos
pital at the Soldiers home at Bath. 1t
appears that from three to six times as
much liquor was being consumed in the
hospital at Bath as in the hospitals con
oectcd with other soldiers and sailors
homes throughout the country. Former
ly three barrels a month were called for,
and during five months of the past year
two barrels were allowed. The average
for patients per month in the four large
soldiers homes has BEEN Bath, 90 gal
lon; Dayton, rs gallon; Milwaukee, 20
gallon, and Hampton. 10 gallon.
1t will he seen from this that the
amount consumed at Bath is over six
times as much as Mt the home ut Dayton,
the largest soldiers home in the country.
In addition to this amount large quanti-
ties of brandy, sherry, port and white
wines were used.
