AN OLD LINCOLN STORY.

New Jersey never was better govern
ed or more prosperous than it is now,
yet the newspaper started as an organ
of the Democratic machine in Elizabeth
says the Jersey City Journal, has this
to say:
Franklin Murphy is confident that
he can outgenaral the Republican poll
ticians who are trying to obstruct his
path to the gubernatorial nomination
But what if he does? He has the peo-
pie to deal with after that, and they
are tired of Republican misrule in New
jersey"
One of the stories of Lincoln tells of a
temperance worker who called at the
White House to complain that General
Grant drank whiskey. Lincoln listened
to the tale of woe, and in manner that
seemed to the complainant to be entire
~ irrelevant, he said: ''Do you know
what brand of whiskey he uses %
No" answered the complainer. why
do you want to know % Il thought |
would like to know, so that I might
send few barrels of it to some of the
other generals And so it is with Re-
publican misrule, If this is misrule,
give us more of il.

SHERIDAN AND SAMPSON.

A comparison has been made between
the position of General Sheridan at the
battle of Cedar Creek, and that of Ad
miral Sampson in the naval engagement
in Santiago bay Both were COM
manders in chief. Both were acciden-
tally absent from the front" at a critical
moment. Both hurried back to their
posts as soon as possible. Sheridan was
fortunate enough to reach his army in
time to assume direction while the bat
tie was still raging Sampson failed to
arrive until the victory was practically
won OF course the difference in favor
of Sheridan in this comparison is that
he turned a defeat into victory while
SIMPSONS command was never in any
danger. But just as Sheridan was
awarded the honors of his battle Samp-
son would have been had he arrived
half an hour sooner than the New
York. though under forced draught,
could carry him. The exact parallel
ism is in this fact: If Sheridan's army
had lost its battle, says the Paterson
Press, even while he was temporarily
absent, he would have been held re-
sponsible. And so would Sampson have
been, had his squadron been defeated,
and there had been disgrace instead of
glory to distribute.

NO cANTEEN, MORE CRIME,

The Medical Record again refers to
the misguided creatures, who, through
their action in abolishing the army can.
teen, have driven hundreds of our SOL
diers to drunkenness, ard says that
they might pause while in the hour
of their exultation and stud,- some
statistics" cited by writer in the Kreuz
Zeitung of Berlin.
According to this showing" says the
Medical Record, sin 1870 prisons
throughout Germany 46 per cent. of all
the murderers committed their crime
while under the influence of drink. 63
per cent. of the cases of manslaughter,
IA per cent of serious injury to the per-
son, and " per cent. of criminal i'm
morality are due to the same cause. In
the navy, out of 1871 punh liable cases
during the last six years, rs per cent. of
the most serious cases have been due to
drunkenness.
This overmastery by strong drink
comes not from the use of beer and
light wine, such as was formerly OBJ
tainable in the post exchange in our
army, but from indulgence in schnapps.
This is the German equiveant of the
whiskey served to our soldiers in the
hundreds of dram shops which form a
cordan around the army posts, and
which were established there as direct
and logical result of the action of Con-
gress influenced by the W. G. T. q. and
other well-meaning, but sometimes per
nicious, organizations"
The canteen question will probably be
among the first to engage the attention
of the next Congress, and it will doubt
less be considered this time with sober
ness and sense.

THEY OUGHT TO BE WILLING

If the court of errors and appeals up
holds the decision of the supreme court
requiring the assessment of the road
beds of trolley companies and the con-
duits, poles and wires of telegraph and
telephone companies as real estate it
will add materially to the annual ex-
penses of those corporations says the
Trenton State Gazette.
But it should not be forgotten that
they secured the right of occupancy of
public highways, which form the foun-
dation of their business and which are
necessary to the profitable investment
of their mouey, in most cases without
COST and in every instance at an expense
far below the actual value of the privi-
leges they enjoy.
If the corporations mentioned above
are unwilling to purcha e public fran
chises, paying for them a reasonable
consideration, and they usually are, they
ought not to object to the payment of a
fair tax on the property that they have
at little or no cost acquired through the
generosity of the public.

NEW QUARANTINE STATION.

Cattle imported to this country will
in the near future, be brought for in
spection to the new government quaran-
tine station, now in process of construc
ton, at Athena, Passaic county, and
kept under surveillance for limited peri
DDS, according to their grade, before
they are turned over to the Importer.
On the arrial of batch of animals they
will be Immediately removed from the
cars and assigned to stables. Their con-
dition will be carefully noted, and under
no circumstances will they be allowed
TO mix with or even pass over the same
ground trodden by animals arriving
earlier. Night and day they are to be
inspected for the least signs of disease,
and all suspects isolated. Milk tests
must be made daily, and complete
record kept. Cattle are detained at the
quarantine station 80 days from date of
sailing Hogs and sheep are kept a
much shorter time, Is days being the
average. tuberculosis in cows, footrot
in sheep, cholera in hogs and all
kinds Of diseases with their attendant
complications are feared the most.
Animals suffering from diseases not
contagious are either killed or shipped
at the expense of the importer. Typhoid
fever transmitted through the milk is
the disease most prevalent, and es-
pecial care is taken to guard against il.
When the animal leaves the station
with the official approval of the govern
ment in regard to health the stables are
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected pre-
paratory 10 the arrival of the next lot.
The total cost of the station will be

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY

American diplomacy has again won a
signal success. China is not to be dis
membered. 1t is to remain intact, and
TO maintain the "open door,. This was
the position taken year ago by Secre-
tary Hay. Great Britain and Japan
supported our government in this posi-
tion but Russia, Germany, France and
the others seemed determined upon the
destruction of the empire or upon war.
Every point then insisted upon by the
United States has finally been agreed
upon by the other powers. Punishments
that China could exact, indemnities that
she could pay have been accepted, the
integrity of the Chinese empire has
been preserved, the ''open door" has
been maintained. warfare has been
stopped, and all the powers are about to
follow the example of the Unit States
and Russia in withdrawing their troops
from Pekin so that the Chinese govern
ment may return to its capital

PERMANENT INJUNCTION.

Vice-Chancellor Grey has advised a
permanent injunction against the officials
of Bay Head restraining them from in
terfering with the lines of the Point
Pleasant Electric Light Company,
Some weeks ago the officials cut down
wires that We're intended to furnish
light for the Greenville Arms Hotel, on
the ground that the borough council
had not given permission to erect poles
and wires.
In his own opinion, Vice-C Chancellor
Grey says:
Electric light companies. organized
under the general corporation act of this
state, have authority to erect poles and
to string and maintain wires in the pub
lie highways upon first obtaining the
consent of the owners of the soil.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

AS a rule, we believe the milk fur
nished the residents of Morristown is of
the required standard of purity. The
conditions under which it is produced
should be carefully looked into by the
local Board of Health. While there has
not been a single case of sickness among
adults or children in the town for long
time, attributable to impure or contami-
mated milk, we are of the opinion that
San ounce of prevention" is especially
called for when human lives are at
stake. Milk dealers who are serving
pure milk, cared for as it should be, have
no fear of thorough investigation Of
their plants. The following from the
Plainfeld Courier News is Of Importance
inasmuch as it clearly shows what can
be done by the health officials of town
"One of the benefits slready arising
from the care of the local milk supply
by the two Plainfield Boards of Health,
may be instanced in the reports made
by physicians. 1t is said by them that
never before has there been so few cases
of cholera iufantum in Plainield as dur
ing the present summer. To man
they express the opinion that the purity
and cleanliness of the milk now fur
nished to Plainfield consumers, is the
cause of the absence of this dread
malady of infant childhood. The Plain
field Board of Health has done good
work in many ways, but in none has its
work been better than in the care exer-
clsed in looking after our milk supply

particularly. many places are rejoicing
over the relief. In Nebraska there was
a perfect deluge for few hours aud
then a steady fall. which it is said will
do much toward renewing the wither-

In Missouri rain is reported at many
places, but it is feared that it has come
too late to help the corn crop, though
other crops and stock are being greatly
benefited.

the general average, whereas last year
