THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST

The contest for the Republican
nomination for Congress in the
Eighth district promises much for the
welfare of the party in that it will
not be a perfunctory affair, but in
terest every Republican and bring him
to the polls to help make the nomina-
ton. Cut-and- dried nominations have
no interest for the average voter, ex-
cept when the people take it into their
heads TO defeat them should they be
positively disagreeable. Congressman
Fowler, by the way, repudiates the
interview attributed to him i'll which
he was represented as rejecting upon
Snator John Kean for having espoused
the cause of Frank Bergen. Fowler
backed by Governor Voorhees, and
Bergen by Senator Kean present a
quartette of sterling Republicans
whose efforts will bring out strong
vote in Union County at least if not
in the entire district, although there
is a suspicion entertained in some
quarters that dark horse in Essex
might capture the nomination.

STATE DEMOCRACY FOR BRYAN

The Democratic State Committee
met in Newark Saturday afternoon
and fixed May 81 for the State Con-
vention at which delegates at large
will be chosen for the national con
vention at Kanas City. The conven-
tion will be in Trenton Chairman
William B. Gourley, of Passaic County,
presided. 1t was decided that the
delegates to the State convention
will be elected on the same basis that
prevailed in the last gubernatorial
convention Each election district
will be entitled to at least one dele
gate, and the general representation
will be on the basis of one delegate
for each 200 votes and one additional
for a majority fraction in excess
thereof
A comparison of the sentiment ex-
listing in the various sections of the
State as reported by the committee
men, showed that the candidacy of
Dewey has not taken popular hold,
and that the prevailing preference is
undoubtedly for Bryan.
A talk with several members re-
suited in the opinion that the State
Convention will probably select as
delegates at large to Kansas City,
William B. Gour1ey, of Passaic;
Johnston Cornish, of Warren; Colonel
E. L. Price, of Essex; and Robert
Davis, of Hudson.

AT PARIS.

Although the great exhibition is
formally opened the exhibits will
hardly be in complete order until
June 1, if they are at that date. The
Chicago exhibition was formally
opened to the public long before the
exhibits were in readiness, but as
beginning has to be made some time
it is we'll to make it at the designated
and appointed time.
There are many reasons to believe
that the exhibition Of industrial
achievements and novelties will sur
pass any previous exposition. The
advance of science and invention, to-
gether with the spread of prosperity
since 1898, naturally permits this en-
terprise to surpass its predecessors,
and France has spared no pains to
reach the greatest degree in the mag
nitude and variety of its attractions.

NEW JERSEY ROADS.

In the matter of good roads New
Jersey has made rapid strides during
the past seven years. Since the pres
ent law went into effect, in 1898, 44O
miles of roads have been built, at a
cost to the State of $715. S26. Last
year alone ia miles were built, to
which the State contributed $3.50, 600
and it is doubtful il the same amount
of public money was ever better spent
Thirteen counties have participated
in the work, and shared in the APP
preparations, and it is safe to say
that they would rather pay double
the amount in expenditure that they
have paid than go back to the former
conditions of many of the public high
ways. This year the the specifica-
tions provide for 212 miles of new
roads, the estimated cost of which is
1886, 626 Toward this expense the
State contributes the regular $3.50, 600,
which is the annual appropriation,
The amount is generally regarded as
liberal, but there is no room for doubt
that it is an investment that pays a
better rate of interest than it would
il invested in almost any other way.
New Jersey is becoming well known
for its good roads, and the wider this
reputation becomes, as it is sure to
become under the present progressive
the better it will be for
the State New York Tribune.

The Detroit Presbytery, in session
at Holly, Michigan, adopted the fol-
lowing overtures to the Presbyteri
General Assembly:
"The time has come to formulate a
short creed for use in our churches
without seeking to change or do
away with the time honored Westmin-
ster Confession of Faith. This creed
should be irenica1, rather than polem-
ical, emphasinzing those doctrines
generally known as evangelical and
believed and preached by the Presby-
terrain Church. We respectfully ask
that the General Assembly initiate
some other action in the matter. -

Chancellor Alexander Z. McGill,
who has been critically i'll for several
weeks, will resign not later than June
l. He rallied ON Easter Sunday and
on Monday was sufficiently improved
to consider and sign thirty eight de-
crees which had been held for some
time for final action by him.
DR.. John d. McGill stated on Tues
day that he is hopeful that his brother
will continue to improve and gain in
strength although the fear and danger
of another relapse is great.
The Chancellor future health and
perhaps his life depends upon his
giving up all official cares and enjoy
ing perfect rest.
