AGAINST ADJUSTMENT.

Leading Republicans in Morris
County do not favor the adjustment
of spring elections. The Belvidere
Apollo, in expressing the sentiment
in Warren, about states the case for
this county. 1t says;
The sentiment in this end OF the
State. as in many other parts, seems
to be strongly against abollshlng
spring elections. Some party leaders
and some localities no doubt favor 1T,
but it is not generally approved, SO
far as we can observe, among the
masses. 1t will be remembered that
one of the effective war cries against
the Democratic party few years ago
when it seemed to be intrenched IN
power for a generation, was thai 1T
showed disposition to interfere
with and subvert local self govern
ment. A large portion of the people
are sensitive on that subject and can
eaisly be reused by it to determined
and aggressive resentment. Ii the
change is really needed the continued
agitation of it will strengthen the de-
mand for it, and the innovation might
then be veutured. Some see in this
proposed change the fruit OF wisdom,
but our Legislators will not be wise IT
they attempt to pluck this fruit before
it is ripe.

A bill introduced by Senator Hud-
speth on Monday night provides for
the payment of salaries instead OF fees
to all officers of second class counties.
This includes sheriffs, surrogates
and county clerks. There is already
a law covering this matter for first
class counties, of which Pasasic is
now one, although as the new classiti-
cation. has not yet been officially
promulgated the old system stills pre-
walls. The sentiment in favor of
stated salaries in lieu of fees is rapid
ly spreading and it will not be long
before the ancient way of paying
public officials will be entirely abol-
ished Paterson Call.

THE JANUARY BALANCE SHEET

A surplus of 81, 40, $50 IS for the
month of January shows that Uncle
Sam business affairs are in very good
shape. The total receipts for the
month were SAT, $50, 1885, SO and the
total expenditures we're 40, 100, 707 40,
leaving the comfortable balance above
noted.
The surplus is trifie smaller than
that of a year ago, but it is still at
the rate of 1888, 925, 754 year, sum
which can be reduced with entire
safety. A comparison of the month
shows that there was falling off of
$491, 878. OF inthe revenue and ali in
cease of 1920, 610. Al in the expendi-
lures. The decrease in revenue came
from loss 1920, 1868. " in.customs and

These two losses, however, were par
TALLY offset by gain of $500, 147 81

the receipts from this source exceeding
the customs by 81, 705, 0S7. "a.
The items of expenditures show the
following changes: Increase-Civil

Decrease-Navy. $147, 053 So; Indians,
$106, gil. 90, and pensions, $75S, 173. 3d.
Considering the magnitude of the
government transactions the changes
from January, 1900, to January, 1901,
are neither important nor significant
The exhibit is remindful of the fact
that surplus is easier to handle than
deficit; also that it promotes finan-
cial and business confidence. The

1t may interest statisticians and
perhaps others to know that the ag-

by Congress for pensions since the
end of the Civil war in 1865, plus the
amount carried by the pending pension
bill for the fiscal year 1902, is 81,
S21, III, 426. Another year will carry
the total far beyond the three billion
mark. By the census of 1860 the en-

states afterward composing the Con-
federacy-the true valuation, not as
sessed, of all property, real and per-

Senator Reed, of Somerset, whose
name has been prominently mentioned
in connection with the Republican
nomination for Governor and for ap-
pointment as one of the additional
vice chancellors recently stated to a
reportorial friend;
While deeply approaching the
kindness OF friends who have sug-
gested my name in connection with
various offices, the fact is that | am
in no sense candidate for nomina-
ton to any office whatsoever. Except
that shall always be glad to promote
SO far as | may the ambitions of my
friends, [ intend, when my present
term of office shall end, to devote
myself entirely to my profession.
So much newspaper notoriety has
been given the various claims for
office about which Senator Reed S
name was brought forward, that he
felt called upon to make some state
ment.to set people right in the mat
ter. That he has now done so, the
stories will probably cease, as his
friends will surely be guided by his
own wishes in the matter.

in the courts and will seek by legal
means to prevent the enforcement of
such provisions as they consider in

result in definitely determining whe-
Their the municipality or the electric
