HONEST APPROPRIATIONS.

The correction of the obscure and
dishonest methods that had prevailed
in the matter of making appropria-
tions of public moneys, was matter
of vital Importance to the people.
Instead of being made under a uni
form system, such appropriations had
hithreto been tackled to miscellaneous
bills passed by the Legislature, and,
in many instances, they thus es-
capeu public notice. The public had
no opportunity to obtain an adequate
idea of State disbursements, since
any appropriations were SO condi-
toned as to conceal the real amounts
of the same, and under this dishonest
system of disbursement great sums
were squandered.
This abuse was effectually remedied
by the passage of law requiring all
appropriations to be contained in a
General APPROPRIATION Bill, which fur
nishes the people annually with a
plain and concise statement of all
public disbursements, prevents con-
cealment or obscurity in this vitality
important matter, and enables every
citizen to know just how much is to
be expended for State purposes dur
ing the ensuing fiscal year. The
economy effected by this wise and
honest provision is beyond computa-
tion.
Jacob W. Welsh, the Republican
candidate for Senator. has served on
the Committee on Appropriations
with honor to himself and credit to
his constituents.

The .WHlrE HOUSE.

All of the stationery of the White
House has been changed and where
the words Executive Mansion" have
been used "White House" has been
substituted.
A United States senator was invited
to dinner at the White House last
week, remarked incidentally to the
President that his invitation had
read white House." while previous
invitations received during the life of
President Mckinley had read "Exec-
utive Mansion :" The President read
lily admitted that he had ordered the
change. He said he realized there
were forty five executive Mansions in
the different states of the United
States and there was but one White
House. He proposed that the name
"White House" should distinguish
the residence of the chief executive of
the United States form all other Off
cial residences in future.
The President also told the Senator
that he believed the present White
House was large enough, comfortable
enough, roomy enough and modern
enough for the chief executive and he
would not countenanee any move
ment looking toward change in the
mansion.

DEMOCRATIC CONNIE MT ON
SEYMOUR'S LETTER.

The Newark Daily Advertiser, one of
the leading Democratic newspapers of
the state says most of Mr.. Seymour S
letter of acceptance is "drivel p"
Commenting further on that re-
markable document it adds:
Conspicuous in the letter is the
absence of reference to- the equal
taxation question. That great issue
overshadows everything else in the
state, yet a Democratic nominee who
hopes to sit in the chair of Ludlow
and Albeit utterly ignores it. One can
see in this omission the influence
over him of Edward F. O. Young, of
Hudson, and the untaxed trolley, cleo
trio light, gas, telephone and railroad
interests which Mr.. Y oung represents.
In plain English, a Democratic paper
in Mr.. Seymour's own bailiwick &C.
cuses the candidate for governor of
it's own party of being a corporation
candidate owned and controlled by
the "untaxed trolley, electric light,
gas, telephone and railroad interests. :"
1t must not be forgotten that the Re-
publican Party levied the first fran
chise tax on all these corporations.

QUALIFICATIONS. NOT -sAcklNe"

President Roosevelt has again COM
mended himself to popular good judg-
ment and sound sense. To Senator Ma
son of Illinois, swho, in urging the claims
of constituent to Office remarked that
he was backed by the Illinois organi-
zation," President Roosevelt is reported
to have said: II will appoint no man
to office, even if recommended by the
organization, unless he is wholly quail
fed for the position he seeks and is a
man of integrity" This recalls an Incl
dent during Gov. Griggs' administra-
ton. Morris county was rent in twain
over an appointment. The Governors
room was thronged by excited Morris
county men, who were urging him to
appoint man who had the backing of
the party and many of the county's best
citizens. But there seemed to be some
Inherent objection, and when one Of the
delegation emphasized his candidates
backing, Gov. Griggs was incensed.
He raised his voice so that he could be
heard out in the corridors and he said:
"Gentlemen, if every Republican in
Morris county urged me to appoint a
man who was unfit for the Office he
would not receive an appointment at
my hands. 1t isn't mans political
hacking, ii is his fitness for the Office

THE covERNoRsHIP.

The large crowds which are greeting
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Seymour N the
various counties shows that public in
terest is considerably aroused concern
ing the Governorship.
Franklin Murphy, the Republican can
didate, has been accorded enthusiastic
receptions wherever he has thus far Wis
tied, and if expressions of popular favor
so early count for anything his candl-
dacy is meeting with hearty endorsement
that points unequivocally to success.
Unlike any preceding Gubernatorial
campaign, there are no questions of vital
State interest at stake beyond that, shall
the present prosperity of the people be
maintained?
That is the one absorbing question be.

fact than in any period of its history,
and is it not desirable to continue that
prosperity by retaining the administra-
ton of its affairs in the hands of those
who 80 largely contributed to establishing
it? The Democratic campaign is based
on nothing more substantial than de-
sire Of the same old gang" to recover
the offices and the power which they,
under Democratic rule, conferred. The
difference between the Republican and
the Democratic claims to public endorse
ment is so wide that no intelligent voter
can be deceived, but it is none the less
desirable that voters should be kept in
remembrance of the important duty de-
manded of them next month. A cam
paign of education is not necessary.
There is an object lesson in the general
prosperity of State and people that he
who runs may read without the slightest
difficulty. The main work of the cam
paign is to get out the vote, and every
good citizen should contribute to that
end.

CAUSE OF M'KINLEYS DEATH
UNKNOWN.

The paper read by DR.. Matthew d.
Mann, one of the physicians in attend
ance upon the late President, delivered
an address at the semi annual meet
ing of the New York State Medical
Society, which will be published in
full tomorrow. DR.. Mann said
In speaking of the bulletins issued,
he said every one of them was
absolutely true. None had been mis-
leading in any manner. He told of
the progress of the patient from day
to day till the unfavorable turn, and
he said he mentioned that to show
that the bulletins issued were true
and not mislea ding.
DR.. Mann declared that there was
no meteorological infection. Continu-
ing he said: elf you ask me what
caused the Presidents death, / could
not tell you. I doubt if that will ever
be discovered. Among the contribu-
tary causes, however, were the Presi-
dents age, his lack of exercise, and
his naturally weak heart, which
made his pulse high "

THE CASE OF MISS STONE.

The capture of Miss Stone, an Ameri-
can missionary, by Bulgarian brigands,
by whom she is being held it declared,
for ransom of $150,000, appears to call
for vigorous action on the part of this
government.
The officials of the American Board
of Missions declare that the ransom de-
manded for the release of Miss Stone
will not be paid, and it should not be
Brigandage cannot be encouraged in
that way. Therefore the only thing to
do is to take the matter directly to the
Sultan, demand the release of the mis-
sionary, and enforce that demand with
a warship if necessary.
President Roosevelt has a chance to
teach the ruler of Turkey lesson which
he will not soon forget.

THE DOMINANT STATE ISSUE.

Concern for the future is the great
matter of interest to voters at this time
The great permanent improvement of
the institutions of the State should make
them sufficient for their requirements,
and should result in less expense for
plant for some years to come, while
the complete liquidation of the State
debt at the beginning of next year will
still further lessen the burden Of State
expense. If the revenues of the State
can be maintained it should be possible
to make still greater appropriations for
objects now supported by direct taxa
ton.
The Democratic party has always been
the party of extravaganza and of waste
fulness. Not only did they spend the
State funds lavishly, but they spent
them for needless and improper pur-
poses. The Republican party has ad-
ministered the finances of the State SO
that our State institutions are in better
condition than they ever were. The
balance in the State fund has been in
creased by more than million dollars
and the State debt has been almost en-
tirely liquidated Already beginning
has been made to return part of the
surplus to the taxpayers in the form of
contribution to the school fund. This
is small earnest of what may be con-
fidently expected if the Republican party
be continued in power.
Messrs. Welsh and Whitehead have
both had share in bringing about these
results, and therefore may be confident
ly depended on to carry out the policy
as in the past, while Mr.. Browns record
in municipal affairs shows that he is
thoroughly equipped for the duties con-
nected with the Office for which he has
been named

FIELD CLUBS FINE HORSE SHOW

The horse show held in this city
last week under the auspices of the
Morristown Field Club brought to-
gether great many horses which
had been prominent in shows at New
port, Brockton, and White Plains.
Among them Walter P. Bliss's Model
Artist who won the blue ribbon over
very large field at Brockton and
Newport; and Hollywood,a bay horse
entered by J. r. Stanley, and driven
by Sam Hexler, a well known driver,
won the championship last week at
White Plains. In the contest here the
first prize was awarded to Holly
wood 'and the second to J. W. Ogden's
beautiful mare ''Winsome. p" Model
Artist was not in the ribbons which
was probably due to the fact that he
was not in prime condition having
been shipped in cars to various shows
and accordingly was somewhat car
worn. He quite redeemed himself,
however, by winning the champion
ship.
One noticeable and pleasing feature
of the show was that there was the
utmost good-feeling between the ex-
hibitors. The chief contending stables
were those of Messrs. Walter P. Bliss,
j. W. Ogden Thomas P Hidden,
Chas. Pfzer and the Blairsden stables,
and each of these gentlemen were
prompt in going to the others to con-
graulate them on every victory
In an interview held by the editor
of the Chronicle with a gentleman
who is well-known visitor and ex-
hibitor at most of the horse shows in
the country, he said II think that
the conditions made for the state
greatly surprised every one as the
quality of the exhibits and OF the run
about class and the harness class over
15.2 would have been a decided credit
to any show ever given in America
The show also developed much in the
way of appointments in the Brougham
class, and in the Victoria class, both
of which were won by Mr. Ogden's
entries. Little was left that would
be criticised at any point.
'The limit of classes to the coun-
ties of Morris, Essex and Sussex takes
in all of New Jersey that would show,
and, therefore, local part of the ex-
hibit, if separate in future from the
state should only include Morris
County, as all the exhibits, both state
and local, came from the counties
above mentioned.
1t was great show and great
credit to Morristown to have SO good
a show. The management of the
Morristown Field Club throughout
was complete and those to whom was
entrusted the detail work of arrange
ments and carrying them out are GER
tainly to be congratulated.
Zone misfortune of the show was
that John r. Townsend was suddenly
called home on Friday evening and
therefore was unable to assist in the
judging on Saturday.

The dedication of the monume emit to
the memory of the late General Jud-

was contributed by residents of New

Wednesday.
General Fitzpatrick commanded a

march of General Sheridan. At the
conclusion of the war he served as
minister to Chill. He was an active
Republican, and at one time was
prominently mentioned as candidate
for governor.

DUTY OF STATE AND COUNTY

devotion to the principles of William
Mckinley and their loyalty to his sue

principles has given us prosperity and
business stability, and if confidence is to
maintained there should be no change
at this time. New Jersey should give a
majority for Franklin Murphy large
enough to emphasize the fact that she is
true to Republicanism. Morris County

majority is conspicuous one and at

Dear Sir:--!Twelve months ago while
we were giving our earnest thought and
attention to the reelection of William
Mckinley. we little thought that within
a year the nations of the world would
mourn with us his death, by the hand of
an assassin,

shock, to realize that we must turn
again to the work of a political cam
paign in this time of sorrow, but so it is
New Jersey will elect Governor on
November 5, and we who have admired
William Mckinley, and supported him,
must make sure that the result shall
emphasize not only our adherence to
to his principles, but our esteem and
confidence in Theodore Roosevelt. his
honored successor. We need to ap-
preciate the influence of this election on
the business interests and welfare of
the country, and although it is an off
year when national issues are not ex-
pected to have much weight, now they
are most important, and New Jersey
must be kept in line. She will be if
we Republicans bring home to our
selves the gravity of the situation, and
see to it that our votes are cast for
Franklin Murphy, and his associates on
the Republican ticket.

THE AUTUMN HAZE.

Oh, the glory of the marshes
In the smoky autumn haze,
With the tangle of the sedges.
And the goldenrods ablazei
The foaming of the thoroughwort
And the cat tails stately. fair.
And the singing nettle swinging
While it plainly says ''Bewarei''
Now the cardinals are posing
AS in an idle dream,
While their scarlet caps are waving
In the mirror of the stream,
And the knightly warder briers
Give a challenge sharp and meet,
And the cleavers spin tangle
To hold the passing feet.
Here yellow maze of dodder
With the grasses is entwined-
A seedy, floral vagabond,
That lives upon his kind;
His kpotted chains are holding fast
The jewel-weed agleam
While it's blossoms lean and tremble
Der the beauty in the stream;
And the wooing of the waters
Is song that will not cease
Though the yellow blossoms slumber
Upon its heart of peace:
And the fair blooms drifting downward
Seem like argosies of gold
Or the ships of Cleopatra
On the lotos-stream of old.

INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS
FLOCKlNG.

Independent Democrats all over the
State are fiocking to the standard of
of Gubernatorial Candidate Franklin
Murphy. Many of them decline to come
out openly for Mr.. Murphy, but they
are quietly using their influence to add
to the Murphy vote.
Others are fighting openly for the
Republican ticket. Conspicuous among
these are Chauncey H. Beasley, son of
the late Supreme Court Justice Mercer
Beasley, and former City Solicitor Ed
win Robert Walker of Trenton.
Both are clever speakers, and it was
confidently expected that Mr.. Beasley
would take the platform in the interest
of the Democratic candidate. In fact,
Col. Hurley of Trenton had arranged to
have Beasley's name placed on the list
of State speakers at the meeting of the
Committee Saturday.

are much dismayed.
Their Indignation at the action of Mr..
Walker is as nothing compared to their
feelings against former Judge Beasley.
The latter has issued an open letter,

in general, and urging Democrats to go
over to the support of Franklin Murphy.

Ger Beasley, was at the head of the
State Judiciary for thirty three years,
