SALOON KEEPERS BARRED.
West Haven Police Must Not Speak to
 Them While on Duty.

New Haven, July 16.-West Ha- ven's new police force went on duty yesterday for the first time. Since their appointment last Friday they have been receiving daily instruction in the duties pertaining to their office.
 Among the rules which they are re- duired to observe is one which is to be strictly enforced. This rule de clares that no officer shall, while on duty, hold converse with any saloon keeper.
 This regulation is obviously for the purpose of preventing any dragging of the policemen, q thing which, 1t IS claimed, has happened several times in the past. Policeman Burns's case was the last of the series. He was adruggcd'' so deeply that he slept on an ash heap for several hours.

1t is evident that the State Of New Jer-
sey will soon have an opportunity to feel as
some of her sister States Of the South felt
just before they rebelled against the sun-
just usurpation of the Federal Government
and undertook to establish government Of
their own with such disastrous results to
their peace of mind From letter sent to
the Riparian Commissioners by Secretary of
War Root, it is plain that the national
government proposes TO seize lands under
water in the New York Bay around Ellis
Island, which the State of New Jersey
claims to own and thus strike severe
blow at one of the most cherished objects of
the Jerseyman's election The School
Fund.
The War Department. besets its claim on
the assumption that New Jersey does not
own the lands under water from which she
has already derived millions of dollars by
sale to the railroads and from which she
hopes to derive many millions more. The
State claims to own these lands by virtue
Of an ancient royal grant or patent and
during the forty years in which she has
maintained this claim, she has successfully
resisted all attacks upon it in the courts,
two parties are resisting her claims to these
lands under water and have attacked it in
the United States Courts.
II the Federal Government should take
these lands and ignore the States claim,
it is hard to see what redress the State will
have and there will be nothing for her to
do but submit gracefully. Resistance vi ct
arms is out of all reason, and the thrifty
Jersey agriculturist, who has been conf
IDENTIFY looking forward to the time when
the income from the sale and lease OF
riparian lands will be sufficient to maintain
the public schools and remove the burden
from his life, will never see his dream
realized
But this action of the Government, if it
establishes the contention that New Jersey
does not own the lands under water, will
have more serious effect. 1t will raise
the question whether the State will not
have to refund the money it has already
received from the railroads and corporations
which have purchased the best part OF
Hudson county's water front from the
Riparian Commissioners If such claim
should be set up and successfully estab-
lished by the railroads, the Republican
party will not have on their hands very
long surplus to worry them.
This is the greatest question which has
confronted New Jersey in many day.
