A WORD ABOUT DUTY.

A correspondent of the New York
Times (Democratic) recently COM
planned to that paper that, in his, the
correspondent view, Governor
Roosevelt would not be doing right in
stamping the west for the Republican
ticket, naturally to the neglect Of the
gubernatorial duties of the great
state of New York. The Times com
menting on this remarks:
"Our opinion is that the Governor
will neglect no duties at Albany that
are for moment to be compared in
Importance to his duty to 60 upon the
stump and make speeches in every
part Of the Union where his presence
and his discourse will be likely to
win vote for Mckinley and Roose-
welt. The highest and most valuable
service that Mr.. Roosevelt can do for
this country this fall is to aid the
Republican campaign by every means
at his command. = In this
campaign Gov. Roosevelt will make
no mistake about his duty. 1t is the
duty that devolves upon every man of
conscience, patriotism and ability,
the duty of repelling the assaults of
the reckless and dangerous Bryan
Democracy.

TOWNS yITAL INTEREsT.

The remarks of Alderman Hurting
last Friuay night on the necessity of
providing a system of sewers for
Morrristown, reported elsewhere in
the Chronicle should receive the care
full attention of our readers.
The appointment of committe by
the Mayor with an appropriation, very
limited in amount, however, to enable
an investigation to be male is an i'm
portant step in the right direction.
This is the most vital question with
which our town has to deal, and we
are glad the Aldermen have at last
taken it up.
The filtration method Of sewering
in use at Summit and Plainfield has
not proved successful. There are
grave features to be considered in
connection with the trunkline project,
which by the way the residents of
Summit will consider at special
election to be held later in the month.
The committee will doubtless make
thorough investigation and their re-
port will be awaited with interest.

VIEWS OF GOLD DEMOCRATS.

Reynier J. Wortendyke, who was
one of the prominent National DEM
ocrats in New Jersey in 1896, and a
candidate for Congress in the Seventh
district on the Palmer and Buchner
ticket said on Monday:
1.-THE Sound Money Democrats of
New Jersey stand exactly where they
stood four years ago. So far as
can Judge the situation, the specific
declaration of the Kansas City COLI
vention in favor of 16 to l and the
emphatic refusal of the convention to
retreat from the radical position TAX
en- in 1896 make it impossible for
consistent Sound Money Democrats
to do anything else except to oppose
Bryan and his Kansas City platform.
The course adopted at the convention
will cause thousands of gold Democrats
in New Jersey to vote direct for
Mckinley just as they did in 1896.
The very small vote polled for Pal
mer and Buckner in that year has led
many of us to believe that it would
be unwise, if not futile, to place
again in the field third ticket. I
believe imperialism is an important
issue, but it cannot be made the para
mount issue. The Gold Democrats
include thousands who are unalter-
ably opposed to President McKinley's
Philippine policy. And vet our OPP
position to this policy of the present
administration cannot alter the fact
that for stable and sound currency
the Gold Democrats are once again
prepared to sink partisanship and
join with the Republicans.

AS TO BRYANIsM.

Commenting on the nomination
of Bryan, the New York Times
(Democratic) says
1T is fortunate for the nation,
fortunate for its business interests
and its prosperity, that the Organized
Democracy at Kansas City refused
to dissemble its revolutionary pur-
poses or make any concession to the
conservative wing of the party. In
their naked ugliness the party and
its principles are not dangerous.
The business of the country will
not be disturbed by the candidacy Of
Bryan standing on a platform that
sets forth the Bryan principles with
shameless oandor, for everybody
must see at once that the convention
invites the support of only those vot-
ers who trust the man and have con-
fidence in his views. The appeal of
the convention, that is, has been made
to demonstrated minority.
The World. also Democratic, SAYS
Mr.. Bryan has had his way He
is renominated for president on a plat
form demanding the immediate res
toration OF the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the pres
emit legal ratio Of is to /, without
waiting for the consent of any
other nation.

MYSTERY OF CHINESE NAMES.


The mysterious names appearing
in the Chinese dispatches become
familiar enough when translated.
thus: Tung means east; 81, west ;
nan, south; pei, north; while tsin,
kin, or king stands for capital or metro
polls, as in Picking (northern capita1)
and Nanxin (southern capitai). .Fien
means heaven, so Tien-tsi signifies
heavenly metropolis. Ho or kiang
means river, so Pei-ho is north river !;
Si-kiang, west river. Che means,
seven, so Che-kiang is seven rivers.
Shan is mountain. and Shan-tung,
east mountain and Shan-si, west
mountain. Pal is white and Pai-shan,
white mountain. Hal is sea, and
kwan stands for gate, so Hai-kwan
(the maritime customs) is gate of
she sea and Shang -hai-kwan, noun
tain and sea gate Shang is city,
and Shanghai, city by the sea.
Hoang is yellow; Hoang Ho, Yellow,
river and Hoang Hal, Yellow Sea.
Yang means ocean, and Use, son !;
hence, the Yang-tse river is SON Of the
ocean, and Tien-tse, son Of heaven
(the Emperor). Ku or kow is mouth
or pass. and Ia, big or great, so Tia
ku means big mouth COZ Pei-ho),
while Nankow stands for south pass
(from MonRola). HUI is lake; ling,
a hill; hsiang, village; hsien, tax
district. Flu is prefecture tai, a
governor; tao, circuit or group of
administrative departments; so tao-tai
is q governor Of circuit, and fu-tai a
governor of prefecture. Chao or
kiao is bridge; Ii, Chinese mile;
DE-, eight, and thus Pa-li-kiao is the
eight-mile bridge. Ohio or Chow is
depot or stopping place; hence Tung
chow, eastern (depot of Peking). Shen
Is province and Shen-si is the west
ern province. Yamen is police sta
tion or official residence, and Hui, "a
secret society or club. Using means
clear or pure, so Ts'ing- kiang is clear

Tsin Kwo signifies the empire of the
great pure (China). Ia Mei-Ka is

the United States and means great
America. -Leslie's Weekly

EAGLE ABOUT RIGHT.

The Republican candidate for
governor of New Jersey will probably
be Mahlon Pitney His boom was
started some years ago. 1t survived
the period of infancy and add les
cence, so fatal to great many polit-
ical booms, and has now attained to
lusty manhood. Ex-speaker Reed said
he was one of the brightest young men
in congress, which he left for the
senate, to get his training for the
governorship. Mr., Pitney has expert
ence, energy, Judgment and enthusi-
asm, and many other qualifications
to commend him besides residence in
Morris county. He would easily
rank with Roosevelt of New York as
a distinguished young governor. =

CITY SHOULD Be SEVERED.
Continued from Fgrst Paqe.

afterwards for the maintenance, the
interest on the bonds ard the sinking
fund, the method adopted by other
towns in this state seems feasible and
just It is done by the paying of q
certain sum per 81, 900 on the assessed
valuation of the properties In this
way the small property will only pay
its just proportion.
4 have started the sewer ball roll
ing and do not intend to stop until
this city is severed from one end to
the other. And / would like the
people to understand that it is not go
ing to be such a tax on them as they
now seem to think.
1.-THE prominent people who were
against the sewer idea five years ago
are now FER II good and strong Others
are coming over to the sanitary side
all the time and by the time we are
ready to sewer the city the opposition
will not be felt.
Mr.. Hurting had talk with the
mayor Of Summit, Tuesday. He
says they are so DESTROYS there of con
Meeting with trunk sewer, notwith-
standing that they have filtration
beds, that the question will be voted
on the latter part Of this month. It is
to be inferred from this that the FL
tration system in use at present by
them is not an unqualified success.

SECRETARY HAYS NOTE.
It VIII Slightly stir some of the TrAg-
edy Howisrs.
Especial to the Chronicle).


Washington, d. O., July IL. The
courteous little note which Secretary
Hay sent the powers the early part of
the week mas definitely settled the
question of the partition of the
Chinese Empire.
If the powers could have inveigled
the United States into the coalition
forming for the purpose Of placing
China in the category Of g has beens"
there is small doubt but that large
armies from all nations interested
would have been sent there with the
result that China, as an empire, and
a world power would have ceased to
exist. But the United States taking
the stand it has, and declaring that
the sole purpose OF sending troops to
the Flowery Kingdom is to protect
Americans and that it is the wish Of
the administration to remain at
peace with the Chinese nation, formal
~ arrests any movement which might
have been on foot to slice China into
chunks for the benefit Of rapacious
or INDECENT nations
The imperialistic howlers who be-
lieve that the purpose of the present
administration is territorial aggran-
dizement, benevolent assassination,
and monarchial dispensation, will
receive severe shock at learning of
this note.
At the same time it may be we'll to
mention the fact that two more regi-
ments of United States troops have
been ordered to China. They are the
14.h infantry and 10th artillery. 1t is
probable that only one battery of artil-
lery will go. This makes 5, 900 troops
which the United States has in or on
the way to China. More will be sent
if it is found necessary but they can
not be taken from the Philippines.
General Macarthur has given notice
that he can spare no more as they
are all needed to protect life and
where they are now located.

No one knew President Mckinley
better than the late Vice President
Hobart He was much with the presi-
dent, counseled with him, learned mis-
characteristics and came to fully I'M
derstand and appreciate him. "A few
weeks before his death, says the Pater-
sen Press, Vice President Hobart said
to Editor Wurts
President Mckinley is the best
man / ever knew, using the word
best in its broadcast sense Such a
combination of gentleness, frmness
and practical common sense has rare
II been seen in the presidential chair.
The american people are wise enough
not to expect absolute infallibility in
their rulers. When they know they
have got in the highest Office in their
gift one who does so few foolish and
so many wise acts as William McKin-
ley does, they are not going to turn
him out of his place with the idea
that new and untried man might
possibly be an Improvement The In
terests at stake are too tremendous to
allow such q risk to be taken

HELEN GOULD AT BEREA.

Miss Gould is woman who, in the
words of Kentucky editor, has
res DICED in doing good, and blushed
to find it fame. " Her recent visit to
Berea college reflects credit upon both
her heart and her Judgment thus iden-
tifying patriotic enterprise strug-
ging with poverty but truly great in
it's promise of service to the nation.
She listened to all the students exer-
cises, with the greatest interest,
visited the shop, the cooking school,
the fair of homespun products. And
the next day with saddle and sunbon-
net she rode with Mrs. Frost to visit
homes fifteen miles away in the noun
tains The students of Wellesley re-
ceiyed her with elaborate ceremonies,
but with more genuine appreciation
than that of the Berea girls who shyly
handed her bunch of the mountain
laurel

A STRONG INSTITUTION.

The Morristown Trust Company has
become one of the most widely known
financial institutions Of New Jersey.
Included in its dictatorship are some
of the most conservative and able
financiers of the country. Its resources
amounted on June 80 to over three
and one half million dollars. With a
capital of $500, 900 its surplus and pro-
fits as shown by the last statement
were 1851, 1855. 700. A quarterly divi-
dend of IA per cent was paid July 2.
The line of deposits has steadily in
creased until they aggregate at the
present time 81. 700, 900.

If we do not buy we cannot sell,
the Democrats used to say. When we
were buying European goods under
their free trade tariff in 1895, we ex-
ported only s2S, 600, 900 worth more
of orr goods than we bought from
foreigners During the last two years
we have averaged sales amounting to
over $500, o00,000 more than we
bought. Under protection it looks as
if we couldn't buy unless we sold.

roads have been stopped. The work
that was under way up to last wees
was given out last year. So many
roads need repair this year that it
was decided to call halt until the
road committee can make tour Of
the highways and see just what needs
to be done to put them in shape, and
to attend to those requiring it most
urgently. It is proposed where pos
sible to supsend the work given out
