In recent interview on the pollti-
cal situation in Union County, U. S.
Senator Kean expressed his desire to
see Senator Gross renominated and
of course. reelected, AS to the Con-
gressional situation, Mr.. Kean said j;
There is little doubt, but that the
policy of the Republican party would
be sustained. The vote will probably
be reduced, as this is an off year, but
New Jersey will have good repre-
sentation of Republican members in
the next Congress. In the Union
County district there would be q
lively fight, but Senator Kean thought
Congressman Fowler would be re-
elected.

A HARD WORKING PREACHERS
OPINION.

The Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman,
D. D., who. by the way, is one of the
hardest working clergymen in the
world, in the course of his opening
address before the eighth annual ses-
sion of the National Bible Confer
ence at Winona, Ind, before an au-
dience including 1, 800 clergymen said,
after lamenting the GOODNESS prevail
emit in the churches of today, that the
preachers were not preaching Christ
and that in the ministry at present
there seems to be an accentuated dis
position towards idleness.

We are among those who believe
the Lackawanna can not give a per-
fectly satisfactory service to COM
muteTs until the ferry between Ho-
boken and New York is under it's alb
solpte control.
The Hoboken Ferry Company has
only limited number of boats with
which TO handle n tremendous pr ssen-
ger traffic. The accommodations are
greatly lacking SO far as the public
is concerned, while the boats are run
under Roadway regardless of the ar
rival or departure of trains at the
Hoboken terminal. AS an instance
of this fact it may be mentioned that on
Wednesday morning, Conductor Oar
gavels train was delayed at Summit
reaching Hoboken six or seven MN
utes late. The passengers hurried to
the ferry boat which remained in
its slip between twelve ard thirteen
minutes before starting for Barclay
street This was at an hour of the
day when time meant a great deal
to the majority of the passer gers.
Ii would seem if the Ferry Com
pany had any regard at all for the
wants of it's patrons delays like this
could be avoided. The Barclay
street boats later in the day are fire.
quently held in the Hoboken slip
from twelve to seventeen minutes.
This action of the Ferry officials is
certainly not in tire line of progress
and justly causes almost daily COM
plant from commuters.

The report of the Fire Committee of
the Board of Aldermen which will be
presented to the Board at its next
meeting, shows that the water supply
of Morristown available for fire par
poses is quite insufficient and very
much below that available elsewhere.
The Aqueduot Company is quite
ready to make all the additions sug-
gested by the committee, provided
the town will pay the extra rentals
which are not above the average in
other cities. This will entail an ex-
penditure of about 81, 900 year.
We have an excellent Fire Depart
ment splendidly equipped, but whose
efforts have sometimes been rendered
futile by an insufficient supply of
water.
1t would be poor economy to con-
tinue such state of matters for the
sake of saving $1,000 annually. 1t
would be better, if expenditure can
not be curtailed in some other direo-
tion, to apply to the Legislature for
power to raise more money.

The Chronicle takes pleasure in
publishing an article con the qua
fications needed for the proper dis
charge for the duties of the Sheriff S
office" in response to the invitation
of the Society for Political Inquiry
for Morristown, N. J.
The article is written by q resi-
dent of our county with consider
able experience in public life.
The qualifications he names are in
line with recent editorials in the
CHI onicle. Among other things the
article says sheriff should be pos
sessed of true manhood consisting
in a sincere belief in, and love of
the living principles of moral rec
titude, that he shall be qualified
as to talent, knowledge, integrity,
firmness and independence of senti-
ment" and it requires in the person
of sheriff good. cool Judgment,
courage, ana unfaltering fortitude
and perseverance. -
We heartily endorse these senti-
ments. The name of no candidate
who does not possess these qualities
should be submitted to the voters in
November.

c. correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Times. Moultrie was a brick and stone
/ fort, close 10 the water side; it is now
an earthwork some distance inland. IN
Sumter one gallery remains as it was
left by the war The walls are red with
IRE and the floor IS covered with dis
mounted and rusting oannons and NOR
tars, and with material for making hot
shot; while the ground beneath is a per-
feet warren OF bomb proof and covered

kEITH'S.

Theatrical men, who make a study
of show building, are weekly amazed
at Manager Keith's success in main
tanning the high standard of entertain
ment which characterizes the theatres
operated by the Napoleon of continu-
GUS performance. That the public ap-
preciate the value of these miscella-
neous shows is evidenced by the con-
ti~nuously crowded theatre, yet, per-
haps, few of those who derive so much
enjoyment from these performances
ever think of the difficulty encoun-
tered in getting together week after
week so much highly enjoyable ma
terial. The average Keith audience
is composed of people from, perhaps,
one hundred cities in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware, few visi-
tors to Philadelphia emitting this
house from their itinerary. The fame
of the entertainments provided by Mr..
Keith has travelled throughout near
by towns, and it is safe to say that no
theatre draws so much from the float
ing population as does Keith's.
