sturgis, taking up his lighted can

Inch by inch he scrutinized the door

abandoned the search and returned in

REMOVE THE TARIFF.

Representative DeVries, of Califor-
MIA, on Monday introduced a joint
resolution for the repeal of duties on
white or printing paper and the ma
terial from which it is made, and
directing the Attorney General to
proceed under the antitrust law
against those maintaining monopoly
in such paper and material.
The resolutions recite that the ex-
listing duty of Sc per ton greatly aids
in the maintenance of the monopoly
that the price of paper has been in
creased go per cent to the consumer
and that this result is menace to
popular education and the dissemina-
tion of information.
The present duty is largely response
BILE for the fact that the paper on
which this issue of the Chronicle is
printed, cost cents per pound and is
greatly inferior to the stock upon
which the paper was printed up to
the issue of February 16 which cost
only 234 cents per pound.

THE UNsoUND DEMOCRACY.


The financial bill in the final form
it's assumed in conference passed the
Senate on Tuesday by vote of A to
26, a majority of IS. This great ma
jority for the gold standard in the
Senate will be followed by affirmative
action in the House by an even great
er majority, and thus will end the
"battle of the standards, which it.
self is but one battle in the long cam
paign for a sound monetary system
will end it at least until the Demo
cratic party comes into power, if ii
ever does The Democratic party be-
came unsound on the money question
in the first campaign after the OWL
War. 1t was wrong then, it has been
wrong ever since then, and it gives
every sign of remaining wrong as
long>as it shall exist. The only GER
tainty of sound money lies in the
continuance in power of the Republic
can party.

TROUBLE ABOUT OVER.

We are glad to state that the threat
ened danger of an epidemic of small
pox seems to have passed away. There
has only been one new case. and that
a mild one, in over week. In that
case the party suffering had un-
fortunately not been vaccinated and
there is good reason to believe that she
caught the contagion in New York.
In that connection it might be well
to say that Morristown has not even
been suffering as much from small
pox as many other nearby towns and
cities. 1t is reported on good author
ity that there are one hundred and
twenty cases in Newark and that Jer-
sey City, Bayonne, Roseville, and
Railway each has it's share. But
either the sensational reporters there
are down with smallpox or they are Of
a less noxious type than those who
send fake news from this city.

GRIM STATISTICS.

The British casualties SO far in the
Transvaal War are said to aggregate
1884. This calls for a few compari-
sons. Roughly speaking the follow
ing are the statistics of our Civil
War: Total number of soldiers in
Northern army, 9, $50, 600; killed (both
sides) 300, 600; wounded, 500, 900; died
from wound and "missing'' 300, 600;
total killed, wounded and missing
/, 100, 900. At the battle of Gettysburg,
lao, 900 men were engaged; and the
killed, wounded and missing aggre-
gated 68, 1913, or nearly thirty per cent.
of those engaged This was the
bloodiest battle of the Civil War. The
Spanish losses in and around Santiago
aggregated 10000 killed, wounded and
missing, In other great battles the
losses were: Marengo, 10, 200; Grave
lotte, 4S, 900; Leipsig, III, 900; Water
loo, $4,000; In the battle (732) in
which Martel overthrow the Saracens,
375. 900 men were killed outright in
battle out of $50, 600 engaged, and this
was the bloodiest battle of history :
Cressy, 40, 900 killed and wounded !;
Borodino, $4,000; Cannae, SO, 900, and
so on.

MADISON STILL NEEDY.

Madison is still in need of its free
library. We should suggest that a
prominent. place be given on the
shelves to the revised statues OF New
Jersey. When the Madison Board OF
Health, its police and its justices try
to work boycott on Morristown,
they should look for something bet
ter than law repealed ten years ago.
Several volumes ON fair play by al.
most any author are much needed.
Madison merchants are allowed tc
come with their goods to Morristown
and return, which shows that it is moi
the dread of smallpox which causes
Madison to send back our merchants.
1t is boycott, not a quarantine. A
boycott which will be a very costly
one to the borough of Madison as they
have been violating both the civil and
criminal law.

9 THE NEXT ~

The next National Democratic Con-
vention will be held at Kansas City
on July 4th next. The Democrats of
New Jersey, remembering the humilia-
tion of reversing themselves four
years ago should avoid an early con-
vention. The individual voters should
take personal interest in the election
of delegates to this convention to the
end that New Jersey may be honestly
and intelligently represented in the
National Convention. SO far as
Bryan is concerned, his nomination is
foregone conclusion, but there is
yet hope of saving the party from
entering National campaign on
pull down the flag platform, or the
dishonest declaration that govern
mept fiat creates value. -Hacketts-

Resolutions were adopted by the
Republicans of Morris Township at
the primary meeting for the raising
81, 600 for the working and care of
roads during the ensuing year. The
amount asked for is certainly moder-
ate when it is borne in mind that of
the 45 miles of public road in Morris
Township, not more than rs miles
have been macadamized. 1t might be
a matter of wisdom to raise twice as
much for the same purpose, as good
roads add as much, if not more, than
anything else, to the valuation of real
estate in every township.
