1t is apparent from the foregoing
that these series of gatherings, in
marked respects, will be superior to
anything ever presented in Morristown
Each town member pays four dollars
and has two tickets for each meeting,
sixteen in all. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that entertainments that general
ly cost dollar or more are given for
twenty five cents. As the tickets are
transferable, a member not being able
to use his tickets can give friends the
benefit of them. There being 300
members, the Club has an income of
81, 200, allowing an average expendi-
ture Of $3.50 for each meeting. an
amount which should be sufficient to
provide an interesting entertainment.
By the constitution of the Club, the
membership is limited to 300, and the
list is now full, Many of our citizens
are awaking to the fact of their mis-
take in not sending in their applica-
tions last spring. Many are urging
the Club to extend the membership to
1926 or $50. Applications for member
snip may pe seut W y. a. heeus ~
Washington street, and if the consti-
tuition is not changed the applications
will be placed on waiting list, to

Morristown. N. j., Oct. s. 1900.
Editor Chronicle,
My Dear Sir: Will you kindly ex-
plain through the Chronicle, as an
amendment to your editorial of last
week, wherein the silver dollar under
Bryan's administration will differ
IRON those now being coined. Also
whether or not there is taxation
without representation" under our flag
today.
Yours truly,
w. p. SAVAGE.
We are very glad to try to enlighten
the Vice President of the Bryan Club
of Morristown, though we have no
intention Of amending our editorial
of last week
Silver dollars are now be ny coined

LACKAWANNA IMPROVEMENTS.
Curves TO be Eliminates and Running
Time to New York Forty Minutes.

N.ggs2 Commenting on railroad
ssisEaklIlIE affairs, Chief Engineer Nc
#iElilElE Farlan, of the Lackawan-
ma, said to Chronicle
representative on Wednesday that the
cutoff from Stanhope to the Sussex
branch will be in operation by spring.
1t will reduce the time schedule
between New York and Newton at
least half an hour, and perhaps more,
while the necessity of transfer at
Waterloo will be avoided. Anything
that will bring the pleasant towns
and villages and the old hills of Sus-
sex closer to the metropolis must of
of necessity open delightful section
to summer visitors.
Referring to improvements now
we'll under way between South Orange
and Milburn, Mr. McFarlan was of
the opinion that with the bad curves
eliminated, and third track for ex-
press service, the time would be
shortened between Morristown and
New York from ten to twelve
minutes This would make the run
ming time about forty minutes for the
fast express trains while other
trains will also have their schedules
proportionately shortened.
Grading on the property recently
purchased of Mr. Emmett, in this city.
and extending between the present
track and the borders of the site of
Pocahontas pond, is being rapidly
pushed. 1t is naturally adapted to the
uses for which it was purchased, and
was most desirable acquisition.
Smith and Tanning, masons of
Dover, who built the round house at
South Orange, will soon begin work
on similar building on the newly
acquired property, which will house
twelve engines Bankers will be built
in close proximity, capable of holding
a large stock of COAL AS soon as the
is graded, it will be utilized
for the storage of passenger cars,
thus making the first step of what is
hoped will soon be an accomplished
fact, the abolition of all grade eros
sings in Morristown. Mr.. McFarlan,
is an expert engineer, who has had an
extensive experience in railroading,
from grading and track to bridge
work, and it is said that his success
in the elevation of tracks and the
doing away with needless crossings
and grades. on the road with which
he was formerly connected, was
1t must not be forgotten
that the present management of
the Lackawanna is spending large
amount of money in improvements,
which makes suburban property more
valuable all along the line, and no
place through which it passes will be
benefited more than Morristown.

The Summit Herald remarks editori-
ally:
Several papers throughout the State
have been misquoting Senator Pitney's
remarks in Howard Hall, Summit, on
September 81. Mr.. Pitney said: ''There
is much evidence that this great strike
in Pennsylvania was gotten up for poll
teal purposes; and that he was reliably
informed six months ago that it was the
National Democratic organization that
sent out emissaries to stir up the strikes
He did not say that che could prove that
the strike i'll the coal regions or in the
iron mines about Dover was originated
by the Democrats for campaign pur-
poses." as quoted by several papers
whose editors get their information
from Democratic sources -viz:-The
Summit Record.

fact that the free coinage sentiment is

fact. it would instantly be discovered
that the silver dollars were worth no
more than the silver they contained.
Therefore, there would be no ma
terial increase of silver coinage, ex-
cept perhaps for a brief time. In
stead of raising the value of the silver
of the world up to double its present
value, it would debase the value of the
dollars that circulate among our people
down to one-half of their present
value. This would not apply to the
gold coins, which now have, and then
would have, value dependent upon
the value of the gold nor would 1T apply
to the gold certificates. But tor all
other forms of American currency it
would mean debasement and repudia-
tion to the extent of about fifty cents
on the dollar We now have in cir
culation something over 80, COO, 900, 900
made up roughly as follows; gold and
gold certificates, $500, 600, 900 ;
silver and silver certificates,
5000, 900, 600; greenbacks, treasury
notes and bank notes, 5000,
600, 900. These are now maintained
at par with gold Under free coinage
they would be at par with silver, say
ing only the gold and gold certificates
and these would disappear from
general circulation. The result would
be the shrinkage of our circulation
by the withdrawal of $500, 600, 900 Of
gold and gold certificates, and The
reduction of the value of the remain
ing 81, 200, 900, 600 down to one-Eal-
their present value, leaving an effec
tive circulation of 5000, 600, 600, al
compared with $4,000, 900, 900, which
we now have. Our prediction is tina
if this country were misled into al
experiment with Mr.. Bryan's fire.,
silver coinage, it would be NOR,
: difficult for the laborer, the merchan
!. the farmer, and every other person
toXobtain 50-cent dollar than it i
now for him to obtain a f00-cent dol
lar. Meantime there would be sucl
financial and industrial crash tina
the country would not recover iron
it in a generation. We think tn
panic of 1898 would be insignitican
in comparison.

Minneapolis & Omaha railroad will, af-
ter january Is. use the Union Paciiics
new station at this point and run its
trains from the Twin cities into Omaha
from Sioux City over the rails OF the
Sioux City & Pacific. thereby shortening
Its run by twenty -three miles. This
movement is necessitated because of the
competition for the Twin City-Omaha
business that will commence when the

operations.
