the other half are divided on the
question as to whether township and
borough elections should not be kept
separate. Some favor blanket ballot,
others favor separate ballot each for
the township, county or city, and the
State and National candidates 1t is
possible that after everybody is heard
on the subject that a bill can be
drafted that will give Newark and
Jersey City what it wants. 1t is
stated here that there is very pro-
nounced sentiment favorable to it,
in Morris County and that when the
County Committee gave an expression
on the subject, that there were only
two votes against the proposition to
merge the elections Senator McCar-
ter is of the opinion that many of the
objections will be brushed aside and
that the bill will finally pass but
others talk the other way, SO it is a
case of watch and wait.

The sentiment in reference to a
handsome memorial of Mr.. Hobart to
be placed in the rotunda of the State
House is growing. Some talk OF a
handsome portrait, but others think
the State should not be so mean, but
should secure handsome bronze bust
and pedestal. A copy of the Hobart
portrait now in Carroll Hall and the
White House, will cost about $3, 600.
A bronze bust would cost about
So, 600 to So, 600. 1t all depends on how
much money is needed for the state

the form that the memorial Will take.

FROM HONOLULU.


A letter inst received from the Rev
John p Erdman of Honolulu speaks
Of the measures taken TO prevent the
spread Of he bubonic plague in that
city. Tho whole city has been divided
into 40 districts with an inspector and
corps Of assistants over each district.
Mr.. Erdman has been appointed an
inspector with 10 assistants. The
district contains 1000 people. Two
inspections are made daily, at which
every person is personally seen, a
complete census of the population
having been made. Thus far the
plague has been confined with one or
two exceptions to the Chinese quarter,
which is under strict quarantine, and
part Of it has been burnt over
1t is hoped by the strict measures
adopted to prevent the spread of the
plague.

HoNoRs FOR SUCCESSFUL MEN.

The reelection of State Treasurer
Swain and State Comptroller Hanock
was deserved honor. When they
took the office from their Democratic
predecessors the amount of general
fund receipts and disbursements were
about four millions of dollars, now
they are considerably over six millions
of dollars. The amount of the receipts
and disbursement of the school fund
has Just doubled. Notwithstanding
this increase of business neither
officers increased their clerical force,
SO that the State was put to no extra
expense, in view of the increased
work. 1t would be impossible to
enumerate the increased duties that
have come to these offices, on account
of legislation. Many of the institu-
tions have been enlarged, new COM
missions created, new reports to
handle, the detail of which falls on
the force of either the Comptroller
or Treasurer.
A Democratic custom, we'll observed
was for State officers to work only on
Tuesday, but these two officers can
generally be found at their desks
watching every detail of the Office,
and ready to meet those who have
business with the State.
During their incumbency the States
balance has gradually grown, until it
has passed the million dollar point
This balance was acquired notwith-
standing, that in no time in the his
tory of the State, have there been so
many extraordinary expenditures for
institutions. Under the administra-
ton of Messrs. Swain and Hancock,
the. State has spent more, and has oh
tanned more substantial improvements
than ever before. The policy of the
Democrats was to spend money where
it would do the most good politically,
but now the policy is to show the
citizens as much as possible for the
money that is expended.
These are some of the few reasons
why congratulations have been pour
ing in ON these officials all week, The
Morris County Chronicle joins with
the thousands of citizens Offering its
best wishes for successful third term.

CONCERNING NEWARK PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

| From the annual report of Mr.. Gill
bert, Superintendent of the Newark
Public Schools, it appears that there
is total enrolment of 40, 429, as
compared with 43, 099 for the year pre-
vious, with an average enrolment of
respectively 35. 782 and "a, 3S2 for 1899
and 1898. There are now twenty half
day classes in our schools, thirty five
classes in court rooms, thirty three
classes in rented rooms, none of them
properly lighted or ventilated or sup
piled with suitable sanitary accommo-
dations. In many other schools the
pupils are retained in the ordinary
school rooms.
"While money should not be squan-
dered, liberal appropriations for
schools are absolutely necessary. 1
am not and will not be an advocate
of extreme economy in expenditures
for the training of children. The
citizens of Newark, if Newark is to
continue in the march of progress
which already marks her various de-
partments, must consent to larger ap-
preparations for public uses, and par
ticularly for education.
1.-The three grades of assistants
among women should be taken away,
and men and women should be put
upon the same basis as to promotion,
which should be determined by length
Of service and qualifications. Progress
from stated salary to the next higher
upon the schedule should be given
according to fixed regulations, and it
should not be necessary for teachers
to go about seeking an advance which
they have earned. +"
Zone of the best stimulus to the self
improvement of teachers is the posi-
bility of promotion as the result of
self-improvement. Every effort is
made to encourage teachers in this
way. All the higher positions in the
grades have been filled by promotion
after examination, and several posi-
tions in the High School have been
filed in like manner. Teachers who
have once acquired the habit of study
even for promotion for an end will
continue it for its own sake. :"
"The bringing together of boys and
girls into the same class rooms and
recitation rooms has at once made
available tremendous, moral force
which heretofore was lost. The sepa-
ration Of boys and girls in the process
of elementary education, if it has any
basis at all, is based upon a totally
false conception of human relations
and of moral culture. 1t suggests
clearly ideas which belong to the mid
die ages, and which prevail to a de-
gree in certain European countries,
but which no rational people think
tend to the betterment of the morals
of either sex. Natural laws indicated
in the words supplement" and
complement" are the justification,
and an entirely sufficient justification
of the co-education of the sexes in
elementary schools, whether consider
ed from the moral or the intellectual
point of view"

MINING OPERATIONS.

Mining operations were begun this
week at the Uopperas Mine, near Mar
celia, in Rockaway Township. A
large force of men have been at work
since November, getting the mine in
readiness. Already thousands of
dollars have been expended by the
Carteret Steel Company in new en-
gines, pumps, etc., which are being
placed in position. John W..
Curno, a mining expert from Michi-
gan has charge of the mine which,
when in full operation, is expected to
turn out 1000 tons of ore day. AS
the mine is located near the Morris
County Railroad, the output will in
all probability be shipped over that
road to the Morris County junction,
and thence over the Lackawanna to
the furnace of the Carteret Steel
Company at Hackettstown.

week, but it did not make its appear

of the Big Corn Crop.
Ideas For the inexperienced.
On account of the bountiful corn crop
and also the paying prices Of the last
year for fatted cattle many farmers
will rush into the feeding business this
year on a scale that will not be war
ranted either by their experience as
feeders nor by the amount of feeding
crops that they have on hand, suggests
The Prairie Farmer in preface to a
caution on this point.
The first mistake inexperienced feed
ers are apt to make is in paying too
high price for feeders. While it is
advisable in all cases to secure the best
steers, quality considered, that the
market affords, yet there is limit
which cannot be passed with safety,
especially when fair market price
can be had for the corn crop. A great
many feeders last year made up their
minds that they would feed cattle at
all hazards, and they went into the
market paying exorbitant prices for
their feeding stock. with the logical re-
suit that when selling time came
around their fatted steers brought but
little more than they had paid Eve
months previous for their young feed
ers. This experience will not be
enough to teach them lesson Many
of these same feeders will go into the
market again this year and pay higher
prices for their young stock irrespective
of what the selling price will be next
spring when they come to put the stock
on the market. Another thing which
should receive more attention than is
usually given it when buying feeders is
the quality of the steers. A lack Of
quality in the breeding of a young
steer can never be made good no mat
ter how careful the feeding operation
is carried on and no matter how well
the steer is finished. and if high prices
are warranted in any case for young
stock it should be for young steers OF
exceptional merit in breeding and fat
tening qualities.
We most certainly would advise any
farmer who Is not good judge OF
feeding steers to secure some neighbcr
who is and permit him to select his
young stock for him. ANY one who
has taken the pains to analyze the
markets during the past six months
will have seen that there has constant
" been a difference of from rs cents
to $I.5o per hundred on different quail
tiles of stock and on bunches of cattle
which come from the same neighbor-
hood. and the inexperienced farmer or
feeder often wonders why his cattle
which have been In the feed lot for Ave
or six months do not sell as near the
top OF the market price as those Of his
neighbor. The whole secret. II NE may
call 1t by this term, lies in the quality
OF the cattle. There Is no such thing
as fooling the buyers OF fatted cattle
In the Chicago markets. When cattle
are offered for sale on these markets,
they pass Under the inspection Of ex-
perienced eyes that can tell at q glance
the exact quality and finish Of each and
every animal In the lot These things
should be taken into careful considera-
ton when any farmer makes up his
mind to buy q lot Of feeding cattle.
